Terms and Conditions

 

Between: – Customer, (Name and Site Address as listed), hereinafter described as the Customer and Associated Group Services Limited, hereinafter described as the Company.

 

DELIVERY

 

Drivers are only contracted to deliver to “point of access” – this normally means the front doorway of your premises. In some instances they may deliver goods inside your premises if asked, but please remember this is NOT an automatic duty. Once the goods have been delivered you will be asked to sign a delivery sheet confirming that there is no damage. Please make sure all the goods are thoroughly checked before signing the delivery note, as you will have no claim recourse if damage is later discovered.

 

INSTALLATION

 

The Company advises all SUPPLY ONLY CUSTOMERS to employ the services of fully qualified engineers to install machinery.

Recommended installation guidelines set out by manufacturers of equipment either new, reconditioned or “sold as seen” supplied by the Company should be followed. The Company in some cases are able to provide sections of installation manuals prior to the installation if requested by the customer for his qualified installation operative.

Any parts and/or labour warranty supplied with the machine(s) will become void if it is found that the correct installation procedure has not been adhered to.

It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure the suitability of the sub floor. The liability of the sub floor will remain with the Customer even if the Company has carried out a site visit and visual inspection. If the Customer requires the Company to remedy an unsuitable sub floor during or prior to any installation the Customer will be charged for the materials and the extra labour involved. Any fault that occurs to the machine(s) relating to incorrect installation during the warranty period will be chargeable. Full payment will need to be cleared prior to any work being carried out. The Company can arrange commissioning of machine(s) – this will be subject to an extra cost.
