Listed Buildings1. Application of these Conditions
1.1 We intend to rely upon the Conditions set out in this document. If you request any changes to these Conditions and we agree to make them, we will record such changes in writing and send you a copy. This Contract will be concluded and become legally binding only when the Sashed Purchase Agreement and Statement of Work has been signed by the named person(s) printed at the top of a Sashed Purchase Agreement.
2. Quotations and Orders
2.1 Any Quotation given by us is valid for the period stated on the front of the quotation.
2.2 The Quotation and the Statement of Work (SOW) forms part of the Purchase Agreement. It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the description of the Goods set out on the Purchase Agreement and Statement of Work and to inform us of any amendments required in writing to hello@sashed.com
2.3 We constantly strive to improve our products and services and therefore reserve the right to make technical changes to the Goods or Services which are deviations from the original specification for the improvement of our product. Such changes will be made in agreement with the customer.
2.4 Where you have instructed us to manufacture goods without a site survey, and you have provided any specifications & dimensions you will be required to check and approve all specifications and dimensions as detailed in the Purchase Agreement before signing the contract. In these circumstances, you are fully responsible for the measurements and specifications detailed.
2.5 Unless otherwise agreed, we may use photographs taken in relation to the project, before, during and after installation at your property for marketing purposes. These may be used online or in printed materials.
3. Survey and Installation
3.1 Upon placing an order we will aim to conduct your ‘production survey’ within 7 days from receiving your deposit and signed purchase agreement. If you do not allow us to conduct your survey with 14 days from receiving your deposit and signed purchase agreement, we reserve the right to cancel Your order (the Contract) as our material costs may have increased since you signed and agreed to the Contract.
3.2 If we are installing the Goods we will survey your property, we may also decide to survey your property for supply only. These surveys will be done at our sole expense, and we will carry out the surveys at a mutually agreeable time. Where you have requested a survey for a Supply only order the cost of the survey will be chargeable, this cost will be added to your quote.
3.3 The final measurements will be taken from opening sizes available to us at the time of the site survey. If openings are to differ from the existing, or the openings are to be newly formed, we must be informed in writing (hello@sashed.com), prior to manufacturing commencing. We cannot accept responsibility for incorrect sizes if opening sizes are changed subsequent to our final survey being carried out and we have not been informed of these in writing.
3.4 Any survey we carry out is NOT a full structural survey of your property and will relate only to the installation of the Goods and to items which can be reasonably established from a non-destructive examination. The Price is calculated on the assumption that your property is structurally sound and that there are no factors that would make our performance of the Contract more difficult than might reasonably be anticipated at the time you signed the Contract. If you are in any doubt about the condition of your property you are advised to obtain your own independent survey. We reserve the right to remove render, plaster, architraves, beading and linings during the survey in order to establish correct manufacturing dimensions. Any damage will be made good upon installation, or at a later date agreed with you.
3.5 If any technical problems with your property are discovered at the time of installation of the Goods which were not nor could reasonably have been found during our survey of your property, we reserve the right to increase the Price to cover any additional work required as a result by giving you notice in writing. Such notice will include an explanation of the need for the increase in the Price. If we give you notice increasing the Price under this clause 3.4 you have the right to cancel the Contract but you will be obliged to pay us for any installation services already performed, and any Goods that have already been installed, or are already in the process of being manufactured in readiness for installation pursuant to the Contract. We may agree to store any items not already installed at our expense for a period of up to three months, after which time storage fees may be charged. We will be entitled to retain the Deposit and any Interim Payments by way of payment or part-payment as the case may be of any amount due from you to us.
3.6 Aluminium Secondary Glazing installation service is designed for a lived-in home. Sashed will install your new secondary glazing to a fully finished standard. Unless otherwise agreed, your order includes a production survey. The surveyor will inspect and measure your windows/doors in detail to ensure that they have all the information required to satisfy an order. Sashed will happily remove curtains, blinds, shutters, alarms, or child guards, etc., where required. Please note that these items have been made to fit your windows/doors before the secondary glazing is installed and may not fit in the same way after the secondary glazing is installed. Retrofitting of these items is on a best endeavours basis.
3.7 We will not leave your premises with an opening overnight. Where we have removed a window or door we will install the replacement on the same day, in the unlikely event this is not possible we will ensure the opening is secure and weather tight by temporally boarding it up.
4. Cancellation of the Contract
4.1 You may cancel the Contract by giving us written notice at any time before you make the initial payment. If you wish to cancel you must not make the initial payment.
4.2 If you do not exercise your right to cancel under clause 4.1 above, you have no right to cancel the Contract under this clause 4 unless we agree to cancel the Contract at your request in which case you must pay any reasonable losses and costs we suffer because of your cancellation, including (without limitation) any manufacturing costs and we will be entitled to retain part or all of your initial payment to cover any such costs.
4.3 If the Goods are sold or provided in phases, each phase shall be a separate contract and no cancellation or termination of any other contract relating to a phase shall entitle you to repudiate or cancel this Contract or any other contract relating to another phase.
4.4 In certain situations it may be necessary for us to cancel Your order. This may be due to a production issue with our manufacturing plant, or if after the production survey if we feel we are unable to deliver a service or product to satisfy your needs, or other circumstances outside of our control. In the event of this occurring We will notify you via e-mail and re-pay any money received from you on order placement.

5.7.2 Any payment made by you for any Goods or Services supplied under any other contract between you and us either towards a payment due under this Contract or otherwise towards any other debt owed by you to us as we see fit, whether before or after any judgement.
5.8 If scaffolding is required, there will be an additional cost, we would aim to include an estimate in your quotation. The scaffolding will not be alarmed, unless you specifically request that it is, for which extra charges would apply.
