Placing your order and entering into a contract with us

We will provide you with a quotation for our windows, doors and/or roof products (“the Products”) and related Installation services (“the Services”) which will be valid for a period of 1 month from when we provide the quotation to you. We may contact you to follow up any quote provided within that timescale. Please see our Privacy Policy for details on how we process your personal data at:

https://www.windowsplusroofs.com/privacy-policy/.

Following our quotation for the Products and the Services, your order constitutes an offer by you to enter into a legally binding contract, which we will either accept or decline. The Contract comprises of the purchase order and these Terms and Conditions and will come into existence when you sign the purchase order and pay the deposit of £250 inclusive of VAT.

  1. The Contract is a legal agreement between you and us for the sale and purchase of the Products and Services detailed in the purchase order.
  2. We have clearly set out all Products, Services and special terms of this Contract in the purchase order so that we both know what is included in the Contract.
  3. If you or we want to make changes to the terms of the Contract after it has been signed, including associated changes to price (a “Variation”), if both you and we agree to the Variation, we will do so in writing as a formal amendment to the Contract. Where you have requested a Variation, if within twenty-one (21) days, we cannot reach agreement with you, we or you may terminate the Contract without liability, and you will pay to us any costs incurred up to the date of termination.

 

Pre-Installation Survey

  1. Before we install the Products, our technical surveyor will need to survey the installation address (“the Survey”). We will contact you once you have placed your order within a reasonable timeframe to arrange a date and time for the Survey to take place.
  2. The purpose of the Survey is to confirm the design, size and technical specifications of the Products and to make sure that we can properly install them.
  3. The Survey and your acceptance of it forms a key element of the Contract into which we are entering with you. The details contained within the Survey will form the basis of the manufactured goods provided at point of installation.
  4. We will contact you after the Survey has taken place if we believe that we are unable to provide the Products and/or Services set out in the purchase order. At this stage we will either offer an alternative solution for your acceptance, or we will cancel the Contract and refund any sums paid by you to us.

 

Right to Cancel

  1. The Products we sell are made to measure and made to your specific requirements and so are exempt from the right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. However, in line with industry standards of good practice, you may cancel the Contract within seven calendar days of the date of the Contract (“Free Cancellation Period”) and we will refund any money you have paid to us.
  2. Without prejudice to our other rights and remedies under this Contract, if you wish to cancel the Contract after the Free Cancellation Period has lapsed, or we cannot agree an Installation Date in accordance with condition 10 we will: (i) retain any deposit paid by you to us (ii) charge a reasonable admin fee in connection with your cancellation fee and (iii) if we have committed to the manufacturing of the Products, charge any further costs and expenses incurred by us above and beyond the fees retained or paid pursuant to (i) -(ii) inclusive above.

 

Installation Date

  1. We will contact you when the Products are ready for installation and agree an installation date with you so that we can perform the Services (“Installation Date”). We will do our best to keep to the Installation Date. Sometimes, there may be a delay for reasons beyond our control for which we cannot be held responsible. In this case, we will complete the work on an alternative date as agreed with you and as soon as possible. You agree that we will not be responsible for any type of losses you suffer arising from such delay, including loss of earnings and the appointment by you of any third-party installer to perform the Services or to provide the Products. If we cannot agree an Installation Date within three (3) months of the Contract being signed, we may cancel the Contract and: (i) retain any deposit paid by you to us (ii) charge a reasonable admin fee in connection with your cancellation fee and (iii) if we have started manufacturing the Products, charge any further costs and expenses incurred by us above and beyond the fees retained or paid pursuant to (i) – (ii) inclusive above.
  2. Once we have agreed the Installation Date, you should carefully read and action prior to the Installation Date any relevant conditions in accordance with condition 12 below.

 

What do I need to do before installation?

  1. Please read these details in advance of your installation which set out your obligations.
    1. Before installation takes place, you must:
    2. Ensure our installers have easy access to all rooms in which work is to be carried out;
    3. Ensure our installers have full external access to the areas of work and any external trees and bushes are trimmed back and plant pots are removed from the installation area;
    4. Cover any and all pieces of furniture you wish to protect from the frame removal and installation dust. We will place dust sheets over your carpets;
    5. Ensure all loose rugs are removed from the installation areas;
    6. Ensure all alarm contacts, curtains, blinds, shutters, pelmets, and curtain rails are removed;
    7. Ensure any electrical, gas or plumbing works required to allow installation to take place have been completed;
    8. Remove all special fittings you wish to keep e.g., door knockers, numbers etc.;
    9. Ensure all personal and valuable items are removed from the installation areas and
    10. Provide adequate dry and secure storage pace for storage of the product’s pre-installation;

 

  1. You must allow us access to your property, and you acknowledge and agree that if you do not allow our personnel access to your property, we will be unable to provide the Products and Services. If you do not allow us access to your property (including as required under condition 24): (i) we will be forced to terminate the Contract (ii) we will be entitled to retain any money already paid by you to us and (iii) you will be liable for the full Contract value.
  2. You must ensure there is no asbestos in your property when you enter into the Contract. If our installer or technical surveyor reasonably suspects or discovers the existence of asbestos, we may immediately stop the installation for our and your safety and we will not be responsible or liable for any delays which occur as a result.
  3. At our discretion and if you agree, where asbestos is found or reasonably suspected at your property, we will appoint a third party at your cost to test the property for asbestos. Where the existence of asbestos at your property is confirmed, you will need to remove it at your own cost. When we have received confirmation that any asbestos has been removed, we may, at our discretion, continue to provide our Services, however upon discovering asbestos we reserve our right to terminate this Contract without liability.
  4. We will not be liable to you or responsible for any delays, loss or damage howsoever incurred by you which arises as a result of you failing to comply with any of your pre-installation obligations referred to above.
  5. Delivery of the Products will take place at the address specified by you and confirmed on the purchase order. You are responsible for the Products once they have been delivered to the address specified by you when you placed your order with us. In other words, the risk in the goods passes to you when you take, or a third party notified by you takes, possession of the Products.

 

What happens during Installation?

  1. When we agree an Installation Date, we will give you an estimate of how long the installation will take. This is an estimate only and although we will try to keep to those timescales, we will not be responsible if the installation takes longer than initially estimated.
  2. If scaffolding and other access equipment is provided by us as part of our Services, this is for our authorised installers’ use only and you must not use the equipment or authorise anyone else to do so.
  3. We will try and keep dust, noise and general disruption to a minimum, but you must take reasonable steps as outlined above in conditions 12-17 inclusive, to minimise the impact of the installation. Whilst we will clean up after the installation, there may be some dust and other minor cleaning issues. We will not be liable to you for any cleaning expenses.
  4. We give no guarantee that any existing doors or windows can be removed in suitable condition for re-use. Under this Contract, all items will be considered scrap and removed with the debris.
  5. We will use reasonable care and good working practices when carrying out our Services. If we substantially damage your property during the installation, we will repair certain damage, including any plaster work which was not already damaged prior to the Installation Date, however:
    1. we will not paint or decorate your property and any repairs are solely to make good any significant damage caused when we provide our Services to you and
    2. whilst we will do our best not to disturb decoration, given the nature of our services there may be some disturbance to tiles, paint and wallpaper, especially to those that surround the window. These are considered decoration, and should they be accidentally damaged they will not be replaced, and we will not be liable for the cost of any re-decoration.
  6. If at any time during the installation you have any concerns about a member of our installation team or the quality of the Services being provided, please contact us immediately using the details set out in this Contract so that we can try to rectify any issues.
  7. If we need to come back to your property following completion of the Services to resolve any snagging issues, once a date has been agreed, you must grant us access to the property to be able to make these amendments within a reasonable period of time taking into account the urgency of the snagging issues, but in any case, within 4 weeks. We will not be liable to you if we attend your property to resolve any snagging issues and you deny access to us.
  8. We will pass details of your installation to ASSURE or another appropriate organisation which will then send you a certificate confirming we have adhered with all legal regulations. This normally takes 28 days.

 

Price and Payment

  1. The price of the Products and our Services (including VAT) along with any deposit, is the price set out on the purchase order.
  2. If you are using, or have arranged, your own funds for the purchase, then Payment must be made in full at least 3 days before installation work
  3. If you are using credit for the purchase, you will be asked to sign a digital satisfaction note at completion of the works and once signed the finance company will release payment to us. We deem completion to mean when our operatives leave site after carrying out the contracted works, with the understanding that further snagging works may be required.
  4. You must make payment of any balances due on the due dates for payment set out in the purchase order, otherwise we will not provide the Products or perform the Services.
  5. If any payment is not received by the due date for payment, we will be entitled to charge interest in the sum of 4.0% per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time.

We however will not be held liable for any losses that were not foreseeable to us or you at the time of contracting (including but not limited to loss of earnings or income) because of a fault during the 10-year guarantee period.
  5. During the period of your guarantee, product design and specification can change and we therefore cannot guarantee like for like replacements during the entirety of the 10-year period if your products are replaceable subject to the guarantee terms. We will however supply and fit the most suitable available alternative or upgraded product design and act reasonably in co-operating with you regarding the same.
  6. You will invalidate your guarantee, or elements of it if:
    1. any third party we have not authorised has carried out repairs or alterations to the Products or surrounding areas or
    2. the Products have been damaged by an accident or misuse. Please note that window and door furniture can tarnish when exposed to the atmosphere. This tarnishing can happen more quickly if the surface is damaged by keys, rings or other jewelry. If this kind of damage is obvious, this will invalidate your guarantee or
    3. you do not notify us of damage to the products provided that you believe were either present at point of installation and/or as part of the installation process within 4-weeks of the installation date.
  7. Sample windows show the workings of a typical window and the types of materials we will use. You acknowledge and agree that the bespoke Products we make for you may have minor technical differences to such samples.
  8. We cannot guarantee against any imperfections or variations over time in the glass Products supplied to you. Glass is a natural product that can display various visual properties that are not faults and do not detract from the performance of the Products. The coatings that provide the required energy rating may cause a coloured hue or haze in certain lighting conditions, these are unavoidable consequences of the glass making process and not faults.
