1. OUR QUOTATION.

Our Quotation is provided free of charge and with no obligation. Our quotation, unless otherwise stated, does not include customs duties and inspections or any other fees or taxes payable to government bodies.  It does include us accepting liability for your goods subject to the provisional of clauses 2,3,4,5,9,10,11 and 12.

We may change the price or make additional charges if circumstances are found to apply which have not been taken into account when preparing our quotation and confirmed by us in writing. These include:

  • You do not accept our quotation in writing within 28 days, or the work is not carried out or completed within three months.
  • Our costs change because of currency fluctuations or changes in taxation or freight charges beyond our control.
  • The work is carried out on a Saturday, Sunday, or Public Holiday or outside normal hours (08.00-17:00hrs) at your request.
  • We have to collect or deliver goods at your request above the ground floor and first upper floor.
  • If you collect some or all of the goods from our warehouse, we are entitled to make a charge for handing them over.
  • We supply any additional services, including moving, necessary cleaning, clearing and/or storing extra goods/items/materials (these conditions apply to such work), and/or make additional trips.
  • The stairs, lifts or doorways are inadequate for free movement of the goods without mechanical equipment or structural alteration, or the approach, road or drive is unsuitable for our vehicles and/or containers to load and/or unload within 20 metres of the doorway.
  • We have to pay parking or other fees or charges in order to carry out services on your behalf.
  • There are delays or events outside our reasonable control which increase or extend the resources or time allowed to complete the agreed work*.
  • We agree in writing to increase our limit of liability set out in clause 9.
  • You or your representative were not available at the agreed time (if appropriate) to let us into the property.
  • For Clearances: Items that were included when the quotation was given are no longer available to clear or purchase from you. In any such circumstances, adjusted charges will apply and become payable.

*REMOVALS: Should unloading be delayed beyond 2:00pm and/or the work continue beyond our standard hours, we reserve the right to make additional charges of £25 per hour (or part thereof) + VAT per person from Back2Market (including any Subcontractors) involved in the Removal.  This would most likely be due to waiting for Keys to be released, but could also include; delays loading such as Solicitor/Chain requirements, additional items being included in the Removal, not being fully packed, previous occupants of the property still being in the property, beyond reasonable requests to reposition furniture/appliances/boxes and other items outside of the control of Back2Market.  This would not include factors already factored in by Back2Market, such as normal travel time between properties.  These examples are not exhaustive. Should additional journeys be required because of this, we would also charge for the additional travel time and mileage

24.  DEPOSITS, AND CANCELLATIONS DURING CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Previously, Back2Market have not required payment of Deposits and have not rigorously charged cancellation fees or late payment fees.  Unfortunately, and with regret, due to the current situation we are going to have to introduce these.  There will be situations where, at our discretion, we will not apply them. Many companies require payment in full in advance of commencement of the work, we appreciate that this can be difficult in many situations, and so are still not introducing payment in advance at this stage. If you have difficulty with any payments you must discuss this with us in advance of acceptance of our quote and completion of our work.

DEPOSITS:

  • We will require a Deposit of 30% of the Quote total at the point you accept our quote and we agree a date for completion of the work.
  • An invoice will be sent for the Deposit which must be paid within 48 hours.
  • If you do not, or are not able to, provide a date at the time of acceptance of our quote, we will not require a deposit from you.  However, your job will not be confirmed by us and we will not provisionally reserve dates for you.  Therefore, we will not necessarily be available when you do provide a date.  We suggest regular communication with us, and then payment of a Deposit to secure the date when you are ready for this stage.

CANCELLATIONS:

If our agreement is postponed or cancelled by you, we may charge you depending on the amount of notice given.  Our charges are as follows;

  • More than ten full working days before booked date = no charge, other than if any work has been completed in advance, loss of earnings can be demonstrated (such as where we have turned down other work) or materials have been provided/delivered.  In these cases the Deposit will be retained  or will be invoiced for, and additional charges may apply if the costs exceed the deposit amount..
  • Between 6 and 10 full working days before booked date = 30% of the total quote charge up to the full charge, depending on whether other work has been turned down and our ability to fill the cancellation.
  • Less than 6 full working days before booked date = the full amount.  This will mean retention of the deposit and then an invoice being sent for the balance.
  • Working days for purposes of Cancellation charges are Monday to Friday, but exclude any Bank/Public Holidays.
  • A cancellation or postponement due to Coronavirus symptoms, a positive test, or Isolation for any reason of anyone within the household of our Customer and/or anyone else within the chain will lead to a Cancellation Charge applying.
