For the purpose of these terms & conditions, “The Company” shall mean Safeheat Ltd and “The Customer” shall mean the person or organisation who gives instructions for works to be carried out and for whom the Company agrees to carry out work for and/or supply materials to.

Invoices are due for payment immediately on presentation to the Customer. Any invoice or part invoice that remains unpaid will carry interest at the rate of 5% over the base rate of Lloyds Bank until settlement. Additionally, if amounts outstanding remain unpaid after 28 days or payments made by the Customer are rejected by the Customers’ bank, we reserve the right to make weekly attempts to collect the invoice and 10% of the invoice value may be added and compounded on each weekly reminder invoice until settlement. For illustration purposes this means that if an invoice of £1000 is unpaid at the end of 28 days, then the reminder invoice will be for £1000 plus 10% i.e. £1100. If the invoice is not settled immediately, the next reminder will be for £1100 plus 10%, meaning the invoice will now be for £1210. On the third reminder, the invoice would be £1210 plus 10% meaning the invoice will now be for £1331. We reserve the right to take legal action at any time convenient to us. If all attempts to collect payments fail, legal action will be taken without further notification. In the case of boiler installations, payment is required immediately on presentation of the invoice and will become overdue after 3 working days (all other terms apply).
If the Customer has booked an installation, whether verbally or in writing, and materials have been ordered and paid for by the Company, should the Customer cancel the installation by no less than 48 hours’ notice, the costs of all materials purchased by the Company shall be refunded by the Customer together with an administration charge of 25% of the quotation previously provided. If the Customer gives less than 48 hours’ notice, the Customer will be liable for the entire amount as quoted, whether this amount was quoted verbally or in writing. The Customer shall be invoiced for this amount and payment will be due immediately on presentation of the invoice.
The Company will always use its best endeavours to ensure the operative turns up at the agreed time and date but the Company accepts no liability in respect of non-attendance or late attendance or for the late or non-delivery of materials.
The Customer accepts sole responsibility for the Company’s invoice whether or not the Customer is acting on his/her own behalf or on behalf of a third party.
In the unlikely event that the Customer is not wholly satisfied with the works, the Customer shall afford the Company or its representatives the opportunity to inspect the works and carry out any remedial works if appropriate.
