2 Information we give you
2.1 If you are not a business then you are probably a consumer. You will have consumer rights. We are a business. There is information we must give you.
2.2 By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information (see the summary box below). This information is presented in a clear and understandable way. Typically, our representative will give you information on paper before you buy services from us. Some of this information is also set out in this contract, such as information on our complaint handling policy (see clause 14).
2.3 The key information we give you by law forms part of this contract (as though it is set out in full here). If we must change any key information once a legally binding contract between us is made, we can only do this if you agree to it.
We will give you information on:

3 Your privacy and personal information
3.1 Our Privacy Policy is available on request
3.2 Your privacy and personal information are important to us. Any personal information that you provide to us will be dealt with in line with our Privacy Policy, which explains what personal information we collect from you, how and why we collect, store, use and share such information, your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a query or complaint about the use of your personal information.
4 Ordering services from us
4.1 Below, we set out how a legally binding contract between you and us is made.
4.2 We shall carry out a survey at your home of the works proposed. We shall ask you questions and you will provide information so that we may assess the viability of the work structurally, legally and financially.
4.3 We shall supply you with a quotation or proposal for the work you require. Any quotation or proposal given by us before you make an order for services is not a binding offer by us to supply such services.
4.4 Our quotation or proposal will be based on the information gathered during the survey.
4.5 When you decide to place an order for services with us based on a quotation or proposal from us, this is when you offer to buy such services from us.
4.6 When you place your order with our representative, they will acknowledge receipt in person, or if this is not possible, by email. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has yet been accepted. There is no contract until you are notified that we accept your Order in words giving that effect.
4.7 We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. If we do this, we will try to tell you promptly why we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:
(a) we are unable to carry out the services (because, for example, we have a shortage of staff);
(b) we are unable to authorise your payment;
(c) you are not allowed to buy goods or services from us; (your landlord or mortgage company may not permit the works)
(d) there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the goods or services.
4.8 We will only accept your order when our representative confirms this to you by letter or email to confirm usually by email (a Confirmation Email). At this point:
(a) a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us; and
(b) we will start to carry out the services in the way you and we have agreed
5 Delivery of the goods and services
5.1 We must deliver goods and carry out the services by the time or within the period which you and we agree (either with our representative or in writing). If you and we have agreed no time or period, this will be within a reasonable time.
5.2 We shall endeavour to start work on a date agreed with you but shall require a deposit of 20% of the contract price paid up front. There will be no start without receipt of funds and no liability from us to you for delay caused by this.
5.3 Carrying out the services might be affected by events beyond our reasonable control. If so, there might be a delay before we can start, re-start or complete the services, having made reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events and having kept you informed of the circumstances, and we will try to start and complete the services as soon as those events have been fixed or resolved. In the meantime, we are entitled to payment for goods or services delivered up to the point of interruption and may invoice on a work done basis.
5.4 Examples of events which might be beyond our reasonable control include:
5.5 you change the services or goods required (and this means we have to do extra work or wait for extra materials);
(a) we have to wait for your other providers to complete their work before we are able to carry out the services;
(b) goods or materials are not delivered at the time agreed with the supplier of them to us (and we cannot obtain a replacement within a reasonable time or the price charged by a supplier is much higher than the original charge);
(c) we cannot access the site at the times we agreed with you;
(d) you have not prepared the site in the way we agreed with you;
(e) poor weather conditions or other events outside your or our control such as natural disaster, pandemic or similar unforeseen events
(f) When we carry out the services, we might not have all of the goods and materials we need. This might be for a number of reasons, such as:
5.6 we have not provided an estimate to you and cannot work out what materials are necessary until we start carrying out the services;
(a) where we have provided an estimate, it might not have been possible to work out what materials we needed at the time we provided the estimate to you and this might only be revealed when we start carrying out the services;
(b) whether or not we have provided an estimate, the condition of an item or the area where the services are being carried out might become apparent only when we start carrying out the services and it might not have been possible to establish it until that point.
(c) If we need to purchase extra materials, we will buy them from a local supplier, where possible. If we cannot do this:
5.7 we will order them from elsewhere and return later to continue to carry out the services;
(a) we may charge you for any travel time or call out time at our standard scale of charges in force at the time of your order if call outs are regular and in our reasonable opinion unjustified. We will let you know if we intend to do this before travelling or attending;
(b) we may charge you for time spent in contacting suppliers for replacement supplies necessitated by you changing your mind after first order. We will let you know if we intend to do this. We will not charge you for any time spent in obtaining any wrong materials.
6 Customer variations
6.1 We shall have the right to suspend performance if you seek to vary the contract in any way or delay us or delay payment to us. We shall have no liability to you in relation to delay caused or requested by you.
6.2 Where changes or variations are agreed between us, we shall charge for time and materials at our regular rate on review and our acceptance of your request.
6.3 You shall pay us on demand the amount required by us reasonably to take account of costs, losses or expense to which we are put by your requests to suspend delivery or stop our performance of the contract.
6.4 We shall charge for any increase in price over that quoted if caused or necessitated by you changing the date of delivery of goods, materials or services, changing your requirement or having failed to provide adequate information relative to the goods or services required and the state or condition of your premises in which the services are to supplied.
6.5 In particular, we do not undertake the re-siting of statutory undertakings such as gas, electrics, water which extends to pipes wires cables etc and you must arrange for such work as may be required to be performed prior to or in line with the performance of our service so that we are not unduly hindered or delayed which may have price implications for you.
7 Charges and payment
7.1 We will let you know the charges for the services and related goods (plus any extra charges such as delivery charges) to the fullest extent we can when you place an order with us.
7.2 We charge for our goods and services on a quotation basis using estimates based on our best guess, from our experience, on how much our services will cost. We use our best endeavours to stick to the quoted price but we may charge you a lower or higher amount than stated.
7.3 Where we charge you a higher amount, this might occur for a number of reasons, in particular, if what you need us to do changes, or the amount of services you need us to carry out increases or is different from what we and you agreed before we started carrying out the services; or when we carry out the services, it becomes clear the extent of services we will need to carry out is different from what we agreed before we started carrying out the services and we could not have reasonably foreseen this. Your bill will show the dates when the services were carried out and other key information such as permission or approval dates. Please contact us using the contact details at the top of this contract, if you want any further information on your bill or have a query on it.
7.4 You shall pay to us the amount invoiced on day of completion.
(a) 20% of contract price as a deposit prior to commencement of delivery of goods or service
(b) 80% on final completion of works involved in delivery of all goods and services
7.5 We accept cash, debit card, credit card and BACS
7.6 All payments by debit card (or credit card if agreed) need to be authorised by the relevant card issuer.

Addendum for External Spraying Service
Our quotation(s) allow for provision of all labour, plant, masking materials and Coating materials to complete all works as agreed between DGR UPVC SPRAYING LTD and its client.
The quotation is valid for a period of 60 days.
On Site:
All quotations assume that the site is in a suitable condition to allow spraying to commence.
It is therefore a condition of our quotation and the responsibility of the client to ensure that there is at least 1.5 metres of space to the working area. No activities that produce large quantities of dust around the working areas should be carried out whilst DGR UPVC SPRAYING are on site.
Quotation assumes un-fettered access to the working areas at all times whilst on site.
Onsite Personnel and Livestock
Any Non-DGR UPVC SPRAYING personnel on site must remain clear of the spraying area’s unless wearing suitable PPE and any livestock (pets, dogs, cats etc must be confined to a separate area away from the active spraying site as the 2k solvents used are classed as a Noxious substance by H&S and may be detrimental to the health of livestock)
Access Equipment:
Standard access equipment, up to a maximum height of 3.00 metres from ground level is included within the quotation. Any additional access equipment required that is not provided for by the main contractor will be at additional cost. All access equipment provided by the main contractor must meet all current Health and Safety Regulations.
Colours:
A BS or RAL colour reference and gloss level must be supplied, in writing, at least three working days prior to commencement of a project. DGR UPVC SPRAYING are able to provide a colour matching service for all colours, with the only possible exception being metallic.
Samples must be provided, and it may be necessary to carry out trials on site.
Masking:
All standard masking materials are allowed for within the quotation. These materials are used to protect adjacent surfaces and minimise overspray. Standard materials include masking tape, polythene sheeting. It should be considered however, that internal spraying may leave a fine dust on surfaces the following day.
Fine dust will simply wipe up.
Please note that although every care is taken when removing masking materials, damage may occur to painted or wall papered surfaces, particularly if recently decorated. We would therefore recommend that our works be completed at an early stage in the decorating programme, or a provisional sum be allocated by the client for reinstatement. DGR UPVC SPRAYING cannot accept responsibility for this unavoidable occurrence.
Following Spraying:
Depending on the air / surface temperature at the time of spraying, drying / curing times vary. The finish should be touch dry within minutes,but can take anything up to 7 days to fully cure. The new finish is particularly vulnerable to damage in the first 48 hours following spraying and care should be taken not to impact the substrate. Adhesive polythene films etc should NOT be used to protect the substrate following spraying in ANY circumstances.
Any subsequent revisits to repair damage of this nature to the spraying will be chargeable.
Silicone:
Please be aware that paint will not adhere to silicone mastic. Should there be extensive silicone mastic to a frame, this must be addressed on site with the client as can incur additional costs, due to the time involved in removing/cleaning to enable spraying to take place.
Force Majeure:
DGR UPVC SPRAYING LTD will not be responsible for any delay or default caused by ‘acts of God’ and/or any other restriction which is beyond the reasonable control of the Company.
Weather:
All external works are weather permitting. DGR UPV SPRAYING reserve the right to withdraw from site until such time as extreme weather conditions do not adversely affect the standard of the agreed works. However, in the event that the weather conditions are deemed to be adverse for spraying by DGR UPVC SPRAYING operatives on site, should the client insist that we proceed with our works, in contradiction of that advice, DGR UPVC SPRAYING require written instruction from the client clearly stating so. In these circumstances, DGR UPVC SPRAYING cannot be held responsible for the performance or aesthetic finish of the coating following works.
Dates; If you have been given a date for the works to commence & the forecast shows rain on the met office website on that date then we will not attend & other works will have been programmed in for that date.
You will be allocated a new date, however if the above happens on your new date, then the same weather dependency rules will apply.
We are a small family run business and we simply cannot schedule works on the morning of the working day.
Minimum Order Charge:
All quotations are subject to a minimum order charge.
Variations:
Any request for additional work must be provided in writing by the client prior to commencement on site.
This is either in the form of a signed site instruction, or fax/email to this office.
Aborted Visits:
Unsuccessful attempts to commence / complete works in any given shift when the reason is outside the control of will be classed as an aborted visit. In these circumstances we reserve the right to charge an aborted visit charge of £500 plus VAT.
Working Hours:
It is recommended that the majority of our commercial works be programmed for completion out of normal working hours. If allowed for, out of hours working will be expressly stated on the quotation. If day works are agreed prior to our arrival, and it is then discovered once on site that the works can only be done out of hours, an additional charge (based on the amount of time needed to wait) will apply.
Late Notification:
We reserve the right to charge for costs incurred relating to late notification of cancellation (48 hours or less) by the client.
Payment Terms:
Payment is strictly as per the terms on the quotation. On Completion of the project, strictly on the day of completion.
