1.Who are we and our contact details 1.1. We are powerflush-uk.co.uk operating in England and Wales whose correspondence address is at Unit 4 Finkills Way, Northallerton, North Yorkshire, England, DL7 8UQ. 1.2. You can get hold of us in any of the following ways: a. by telephoning us on 01845 607533; b. by emailing us at info@powerflush-uk.co.uk 2. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before you place an order with us via the website . They contain important information, including a. how we will provide you with the services that you have ordered b. our payment terms and delivery times c. the situations in which this contract may be amended or cancelled by you or by us (including within a cooling-off period) d. what you should do if there is a fault with the services that we have supplied to you, and e. how we will use your personal details as well as other matters. 2.1. If, in these terms and conditions, we say that either of us may contact the other in ‘writing’, then this means it can be by email. 2.2. We only supply services in the UK. 3. Your personal information 3.1. For information about how we collect and use your personal information, please see our general privacy notice that is available at www.powerflush-uk.co.uk. 4. Order Process and the Contract between you and us 4.1. When you place an order with us, the legal contract between you and us will only come into existence when we tell you that we can supply the services to you, which we will communicate by email. If we tell you that we cannot supply the services to you for whatever reason, then we will not charge you for them. If we tell you that we are unable to supply the services, and we have already received payment from you, then we will promptly refund you for any services that we cannot supply to you. 5. Changes to services 5.1. If you would like to make a change to the services for which you have already placed an order, please contact us as promptly as you can by email. We will always be willing to discuss with you whether the change you would like to make is possible, and whether there are likely to be any changes to price, times for delivery, or any other consequences or changes arising from your request. If your requested change is possible, we’ll ask you to confirm that you would like to continue with the change, to ensure that we’re both clear on how we need to fulfil your request. 5.2. In some circumstances, we may need to make minor changes to the services that you ordered. As these are minor changes and will not affect your use of the services we will not usually contact you about these. These minor changes are likely to be: a. because we need update the services to implement a change in the law, or a regulatory requirement; and/or b. because we need to make minor technical changes or enhancements that will not affect your use or enjoyment of the services. 5.3. It is possible that exceptionally, we may need to make a more major change to the services. If these exceptional circumstances arise in relation to an order that you have placed with us, then we will contact you before we make the change to let you know. If you do not want to proceed with the change, you’ll be entitled to cancel the contract and section 12.1 (cancellation terms) of these terms and conditions will apply. The only change that we expect to fall under this section would be to change to the date the service is carried out. 6. Payment details 6.1. The price of the services will be the price set out on our website at the time when you place your order. 6.2. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that we do not make errors with the prices that we charge you. For example, before we accept your order, we usually try to check the website price against our price list in force at the time of your order. However, if an error has been made and the price in the price list is lower than the website price, then we will charge you the price on the price list (being the lower amount). If an error has been made and the price in the price list is higher than the website price, we will contact you to confirm how you would like to proceed (and if you want to cancel the contract, section 12.1 of these terms and conditions will apply). 6.3. Any costs for delivery of the services and other costs associated with the services will be the amounts that were set out in the order process on our website. 6.4. For one-off services, you must make a prepayment of 100% of the price before we begin to supply the services. If you wish to add or change aspects of the work which incurs additional cost you must pay the for the extras immediately upon completion of the services. 6.5. We accept payment by debit or credit card. 6.6. If you do not pay us on time, we may charge you interest at the rate of 2% a year above the base rate from time to time. The interest will accrue each day from the date that the amount you owe us was due, until the date you make payment of the amount that is overdue. It will accrue whether or not it is before or after any court judgment. You must pay the interest to us when you make payment to us of the amount that is overdue. If you write to us and request it, we will send you a statement of the interest you owe us to date, and the additional amount being added each day. We further retain the right to charge for any expenses incurred in collecting overdue and late payments. 6.7. All accounts beyond our credit terms will be passed to our debt collection agency, Sinclair Goldberg Price Ltd. All accounts, without exception will be subject to a surcharge of 15% plus vat to cover our costs in recovery.These accounts will also be subject to any legal costs incurred in obtaining settlement by Sinclair Goldberg Price Ltd. Brook Street, 243 Brook Street, Birkenhead.CH41 3SE9 to cover bad debts 7. Supply of services 7.1. Before you place your order, on our order pages, we will let you know when we will supply the services to you. For one-off services, we will begin supplying the services on the date we agreed with you when you placed your order and in most cases the service will be completed the same day; 7.2. If the system is in need of repairs at the time of the powerflush or there are installation defects in the system this may impact the effectiveness of the flush. For best results we recommend that any known faults are repaired prior to booking a powerflush. It is recommended that heating systems are regularly maintained, with regular servicing and correct amount of inhibitor/ biocide maintained to prevent build up of debris and sludge. Worn and damaged parts should be repaired and replaced as required. If parts of your heating system are not working and need replacing or repairing for example if pipework is not open to the system because a valve is stuck closed or a pipe or component is completely blocked the heating system water will not be able to travel through pipework after that blockage/valve and that section of the system will not be flushed. Fully blocked pipework may not be cleared through powerflushing alone and your system may require repiping. You may need to book a second powerflush after repairs have been carried out to fully clean the system. 8. Your obligations 8.1. We will inform you in the description of the services on our website of information that we need from you in order to supply you with the services and you will need to provide this at the time of booking. 8.2. If you don’t provide us with this required information in a reasonable time, or if information that you give us is not accurate, we may cancel the contract (and the consequences set out in section 13.2 will apply), or we may charge you for the additional costs that we incur as a result. 8.3. If you don’t give us required information within a reasonable time, we will not be liable to you if this causes a delay in supplying you with the services, or if we do not supply any part of them to you. 8.4. So that we can supply the services to you, you will need to allow us access to your property. If you do not allow us access to your property at the time and date arranged with you we will contact you for instructions about what to do next and we may charge you for the additional costs that we incur as a result of you not allowing us access. If we are still not able to make arrangements with you for access to your property then we may cancel the contract and the consequences set out in section 13.2 will apply. 8.5. You must know how to operate your heating and hot water systems and must be able to turn your heating and hot water on and off and you will be expected to turn the heating and hot water on and off as required by the powerflushing operative. You must know the location of your incoming mains stop tap and it must be working and accessible. If your boiler is not working you must notify us prior to our arrival at your property, it is usually still possible to perform the powerflush. 8.6. Powerflushing is a cleaning process, you must provide access to fresh water and drainage for the dirty water - ideally an outside drain. If an outside drain is not available, we may use a toilet or other internal drain, please note that if your central heating water is very dirty, draining may cause staining to ceramic sanitation products, we will not be liable for any damage or discolouration to sanitaryware caused by disposal of dirty water. 8.7. You must notify us prior to work commencing of any faults with your heating system, including but not limited to; leaks, faulty or non working parts, known defects. We will not be liable to repair or replace any product or component of the heating system that is found to been defective, worn or damaged. In order to powerflush the heating system the operative will need to use taps, drain off valves, zone valves and radiator valves that are installed on your system. Unless we have supplied and installed a component on your system we will not be liable to supply or install any new components on the system. If a valve or tap fails when used for its intended purpose, ie if we operate a valve and it has ceased or develops a leak after being turned on/off this indicates the item is worn or damaged and we will not be liable for the product or any consequential damage caused to your property by a failure of any pre-existing component. 9. If there is a fault with the services 9.1. We hope that you are satisfied with the services that we have supplied to you; but if there is a fault with them, then please contact us using the details set out in section 1. 9.2. We must supply services to you that meet your consumer rights. 9.3. Powerflushing is a cleaning service, we will clean the central heating system using a powerflush machine and appropriate cleaning chemicals and we will take water readings to test the water in your heating system using a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) tester. We aim to clean the water to reduce the TDS in your water to within 10% of the reading at the incoming mains (drinking water) but in cases where the system is very dirty more than one flush may be required to achieve this level and we would consider a TDS reading of below 20% of the incoming water mains as a successful first flush. 9.4. This section 9.4 provides you with a summary of your consumer rights if there is a fault with the services that we have supplied to you. However, this is only a summary of your key rights.
