6) TIMETABLE

7) NO FIX NO FEE
Our ‘No Fix No Fee’ guarantee applies when the cost of any repair work is more than the value of a replacement device of the same specification. When repair work is deemed cost effective but refused by the Client, the Company will charge a diagnostic fee at their current rate of £24.00 inclusive of VAT.
8) RISK OF LOSS
Whilst the Company will do everything it can to preserve data on a Client’s device(s), it is recommended that all data should be backed up by the Client before any work commences. The Company will not be liable for any data lost during its work.

In the event of late payment or non-payment, the Company reserves the rights to charge the Client for any reasonable and foreseeable costs incurred to recover any monies owed.
9.3 If any amount of an invoice is disputed then the Client should inform the Company of the grounds for such dispute within seven days of delivery of the goods and shall pay to the Company the value of the invoice less the disputed amount in accordance with these payment terms. Once settlement of the dispute has been agreed, any sum then outstanding shall also be payable in accordance with these payment terms.
9.4 The Company reserves the right to increase a quoted fee in the event that the client requests a variation to the work agreed.
10) CANCELLATION WITHIN THE CANCELLATION PERIOD
If you enter into the contract at a distance (over the phone, by email or internet), you are entitled to a 14-day cancellation period under The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. As the contract is for services the 14-day cancellation period starts the day after which you entered into the contract.
If you would like the service to start within the 14-day cancellation period, you should expressly request this. If you expressly request for the service to start within the cancellation period, you still have the right to cancel the contract (up to the end of the cancellation period) however you would be liable to pay the costs of any service carried out until the point of cancellation. Once the service has been carried out and the contract fully performed, you lose your right to cancel the contract.
If you do not expressly request for the service to start within the 14-day cancellation period, the service will not be started until this period expires.
