Should it arise that changes are required to any drawing previously produced by the Company for a third party, the Customer will be required to
submit AutoCAD or original PDF files to the Company for completion of said changes. Subsequently, by submitting these files, paragraph 2.2
then applies.
For clarity, any drawing previously completed by the Company is held electronically in our secure archives. Under no circumstances will these
electronic files be released to anyone other than the Customer who requested the initial drawings and it will be deemed that once payment is
made these files are the property of the initial Customer. Releasing or amending these drawings for a 3rd party will only be completed on receipt
of the files in paragraph 2.3 or with written confirmation from the initial Customer to the Company.
The Customer agrees to pay such charges of the Company as shall be notified to and agreed with the Customer.
Unless otherwise agreed, any grant of credit facilities is made on the condition that payment is made within 30 days. The charges are invoiced
to the Customer on completion of the works. The Company reserves the right to charge interest on any overdue amounts at the rate of 2% above
the base rate from time to time of the Bank of England from the due date until the date of payment.
Where payment is not made within 30 days, all costs incurred by the company in recovering the debt will be added to the amount due by the
Customer.
Where payment is made by cheque, the company shall not be deemed to have received payment until the payment has cleared.
Fixed price zone plan & layout costs are calculated based on the number of zones & devices, which should be in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5839-
1:2025. The company reserves the right to withdraw the offer for projects not zoned in accordance with BS 5839-1:2025. If additional devices or zones are required, we reserve the right to re price the work.
The company shall carry out work under written instruction from the customers employees, including but not limited to email and postal
instructions. Should a purchase order number or reference be required on the invoice to meet the customers own company procedures, it is the
responsibility of the customer to provide this prior to invoicing. The absence of a purchase order number or reference does not indemnify the
customer from any charges due.
Additional zone plans for multiple CIE’s on the same fire alarm system can be created electronically for an additional charge and treated as an additional zone plan (charged at the appropriate rates).
All goods will remain the property of the company until the price has been paid in full and the customer shall remain a bailee only until payment
is made.
