Your rights

9.1 As detailed above in section 1.3 of this Contract, you can cancel this contract by sending us written notice no later than 7 working days after the date on which this contract was signed.

9.1.1 If you cancel this Contract after the period referred to in sections 9.1 and 1.3 of this Contract then you may have to pay compensation for costs or losses reasonably incurred. We will try to keep those costs to a minimum. We have a right to retain all or part of your deposit and further advance payment, if made, as a contribution.

 

9.2 If there is a serious delay to the delivery of goods for reasons that are outside your control, but within our control, then you will be entitled to cancel the contract and receive a full refund. This is in line with the RECC Consumer Code and the [Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982].

cancel the contract and receive an appropriate refund; or,

request a repair or a replacement; or,

ask for compensation.

You can seek those remedies if what we supply or install is faulty, incorrectly described or not fit for purpose. You cannot seek those remedies if you change your mind about the contract or you decide you no longer want some or all of the components.

Our rights

9.4 If you are in serious breach of your obligations as set out in this Contract and you fail to remedy that breach within 14 days of receiving written notice from us about that breach, then we have a right to cancel the contract.

The RECC Consumer Code will appoint a suitably qualified independent expert (or experts) to consider the matter in the light of consumer protection legislation in force. After considering all the evidence, either in writing, or in a face-to-face mediation, the expert will make recommendations for resolving the issue. Neither party will be bound by these recommendations, though both are strongly encouraged to accept them in the interests of resolving the dispute speedily and effectively.

10.3 If the conciliator?s recommendations are not acceptable for any reason, you can refer the matter to the independent arbitration service and we must agree to arbitration if that is your wish. If we would like to seek arbitration then we must seek your permission first. The procedure used for independent arbitration is described in the RECC Consumer Code. You will have to pay a fee equivalent to the County Court small claims procedure fee. This fee will be refunded to you if the arbitrator finds in your favour.

1 0.4 The outcome of the arbitration process will be legally-binding and enforceable. An award made under the independent arbitration service will be final and binding on you and us. You and we may only challenge the award on certain limited grounds.
