.
b) If the whole or any one or more provisions of the Contract would be deemed unreasonable pursuant to the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or unfair pursuant to the Unfair Terms In consumer Contracts regulations 1994 such provision shall not apply to the extent that they would thereby be unenforceable, the remainder of the Contract shall remain in full force.
c) If the whole or any part of any one or more provisions of the Contract are invalid or unenforceable at law, all the other provisions of the Contract shall remain in full force and effect.
d) No variation of the Contract shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by Us and expressly stated to be a variation of the Contract.
e) Any notice given in connection with the Contract may be sent by hand or by registered post or by recorded delivery service transmitted by facsimile resulting in the receipt of a written communication. Any notice so sent or transmitted to the address of the party shown in the Contract or such other address as such party may by written notice to the other half substitute therefore shall be deemed validly and effectively given on the day when, in the ordinary course of the means of transmission, it would first be received by the addressee in normal business hours at the place of receipt.
f) Quotations and tenders do not constitute offers and We may withdraw or amend them at any time before they are accepted. If We withdraw a quotation or tender We shall do so in writing. All quotations and tenders are automatically withdrawn on the 90th day after their date without requirement of notification in writing.
g) We may charge You an extra sum for any site visits and abortive or excessive numbers of tenders prepared.
h) The parties intend that We should be able to enforce the Contract subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
i) It is Your responsibility to check Our written acceptance that the order is correct. Any discrepancy between Your order and Our acceptance must be notified to Us immediately i.e. before accepting delivery. If you accept and sign for any goods then it is taken that you have accepted the condition and quality of the product and cannot subsequently find fault in the product / products. In the absence of such notification We shall be entitled to supply Goods on the basis of implied acceptance and You shall therefore be obliged to pay the agreed contract price thereof.
j) We reserve the right to make any alteration in the specification or design of any Goods without notice and to deliver Goods conforming to the altered specification or design in fulfilment of any order for Goods provided that the Goods delivered are suitable for general use or for such specific purpose of which You have given written notice to Us.
k) Quality of Glass Supplied and Disputes - We will endeavour to supply glass finished to a good general standard and to within an acceptable tolerance of + - 3 mm / lm. Please note that glass with unpolished edges is not recommended for applications where the glass edges are to be visible. This is because the edges can be uneven and shelled by as much 2 – 5 mm into the face of the glass. They should be safe to touch but not very attractive. In the event of any dispute regarding the quality of our glass, late delivery or any other aspect of our service we will endeavour to amicably resolve such issues but reserve the right to end discussions in the event of unreasonable requests or complaints that are deemed unreasonable by ourselves. Given the fragile nature of glass and issues that can arise during the usage / life of glass products, Bespoke Glass Online does not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequential losses incurred because of the use of any products supplied by Bespoke Glass Online even though the product may be deemed defective. In the event of agreed replacement of products supplied by Bespoke Glass Online any costs of reinstallation, or costs incurred by the client due to the replacement, shall not be covered by Bespoke Glass Online. As glass is Fragile, readily breaks and is easily damaged, Bespoke Glass does not accept any responsibility for issues that occur once the product has been accepted by the client.
l) Delivery and production timescales. We try and be as honest as possible to our customers in reference to our production and delivery timescale predictions which generally are covered by 7 to 21 working days for most orders depending on the specification of the order. Customers however, should be aware that these timescales can only ever be predictions given the delicate nature of glass, which can often break or get damaged thereby completely changing the orders production schedule. Also the process of toughened glass production involves large complicated machines that can break down without prior notice and therefore add potential delays to production. In addition transport has to be organised on the UK's busy roads and this can often lead to unpredictable delays.
Many companies make wild promises knowing full well that they may very well not be able to fulfil the promised timescales. We however, prefer to make it clear that timescales are our best guess and that customers should be aware that they are a prediction rather than a solid fact. In general we have found this honest approach gives better customer satisfaction and in most cases our production / delivery falls within our specified predictions.
