In carrying out preparation work on site, implementing the contract and clearing the site on completion, every possible care will be exercised by the Company to
minimise the disturbance caused by vehicles, plant and all the equipment using access routes to reach the working area immediately around the contract site which
is required for working space and the company will clear the working area on completion. During this period the purchaser will be required to take care to protect

the contract, any local combination of workmen, strike or lockout, difficulty in obtaining suitable materials, then the Company shall be liable to the purchaser for the
delay in completion of the work and a fair and reasonable extension of time for such completion, at least of the period of delay, shall be allowed by the purchaser.
The quotation is based on the assumption that excavation will be normal sub soils and that no hidden obstacles will be encountered during any part of the work. If
rock or running sand, unstable ground, excess water or any other unforeseen circumstances and/or any service such as water, gas, electricity , telephone or drainage
etc. not previously advised to the company to exist is met with, the Company reserves the right to charge for additional work involved. The cost of the work by the
Company or others entailed in dealing with the same shall be additional to the figure quoted.
The purchaser is responsible for providing complete free access to the working areas of the site for materials, machinery and the provision of all necessary services
and additional costs incurred through the purchaser not providing such shall be careable to and payable to the purchaser.
In the event of the cancellation of an order by the purchaser being accepted by the Company, the Company reserves the right to recover such cost as has been
incurred, however incurred.
Where part of the work is being carried out by the purchaser our price submitted is based out in workmanlike manner and strictly to the agreed time schedule with
regard to proper preparations so our work is not jeopardised in any way. This particularly applies to excavation work. Additional costs involved in our work, due to
bad workmanship or hindrance on the part of the purchasers workmen will constitute an extra charge to the purchaser.
Where extra work is requested by the purchaser, either in writing or verbally, this order will be confirmed by the Company to the purchaser unless within seven days
the order is rescinded the same shall be treated as confirmed. Where possible quotations will be submitted for additional works and variations as the contract
proceeds.
The Company shall not be held responsible for minor departures from the contract specification or drawings made necessary by the site conditions or unforeseen
circumstances.
All materials and equipment in site which inform an integral part of the contract shall remain the property and shall be in the exclusive possession of the Company
until payment of the contract has been made.
The Contract is accepted subject to a satisfactory site survey being carried out by the Company.
Any variation to the contract by the purchaser must be in writing.
Subject to the provision of the ‘Unfair Contract Term Act 1977’ (or any statutory modification thereof) the Company shall not be liable for any damage, loss or
personal injury whatsoever arising consequential upon or incidental to the use of the works referred to in the quotation either during the period of construction or at
any time thereafter.
The nature of the materials and processes used make it unavoidable that apparent variation in colour or texture of the surfacing material may occur. Whilst every
possible care will be exercised, the Company cannot guarantee colour and texture matching to closer tolerances than those inherent in the materials and processes
used.
Movement, expansion or contraction of subsoil or base due to change in temperature, water or tree roots are actively outside the control of the Company and no
guarantee is given whatsoever against the damage caused by these or related factors.
