We are quoting on the assumption that You are a "Consumer" as defined in Clause 3 below. You may only accept the quotation if you are a "Consumer". If You are not, the contract will not be valid. In that case, please let Us know and We will try to provide a contract for You as a "non-Consumer".

No other terms and conditions will apply unless We and You agree in writing that they will apply.
We are required by the Regulations (as defined in Clause 3 below) to ensure that certain information is given or made available to You as a Consumer before We make our contract with You (i.e. before You accept the agreement/order) except where that information is already apparent from the context of the transaction. We have either included the information itself either in the booking correspondence or these Terms and Conditions for You to see now, or We will ensure that We have made it available to You before You accept the quotation. All of that required information and any other information We give You about the Goods or Ourselves which You take into account when deciding to accept the agreement/order or when making any other decision about the Goods will, as required by the Regulations, be part of the terms of Our contract with You as a Consumer.
A "Consumer" means a consumer as defined in the Consumer Rights Act 2015, i.e. an individual who agrees to purchase and receives the Goods for their personal use and for purposes wholly or mainly outside the purposes of any Business. A "Business" means any business, trade, craft, or profession carried on by You or any other person/ organisation. The "Regulations" means The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. A "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday. The headings in these Terms and Conditions are for convenience only and will not affect their interpretation. Words signifying the singular will include the plural and vice-versa.
If the contract We make with You is not made on Our premises, the Regulations give You the right to cancel the contract for the Goods as follows and You will have that right in addition to the rights You have under the law and these terms and conditions. The right to cancel given by the Regulations is a right to cancel the Goods, without reason, until the end of the 14 days period from when You come into possession of the Goods, but that period will be extended by the Regulations in certain circumstances set out in the Regulations. If You cancel under the Regulations, You must confirm this to Us in any way convenient to You, and if You have already made any payment(s) to Us for the Goods or their delivery, We will refund the payment(s) to You as required by the Regulations minus any deductions. These cancellation rights will be affected if you request provision of services to begin during the cancellation period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been performed until you have communicated to us your cancellation from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of this contract. These cancellation rights do not apply if the value of the order is below £42.00 or goods are made to your specification or are clearly personalised or you have requested us to carry out urgent repairs or maintenance.
Goods shall mean all goods and services forming the subject of this contract, including parts and components of or materials incorporated in them. Any description given or applied to these goods has been given by way of identification only and the use of such description shall not constitute a sale by description. All of the following information will, as required by the Regulations, be part of the terms of Our contract with You as a Consumer: the information that the Regulations require Us to give to You; and any other information We give you about the Goods or Us which You take into account when deciding to accept the agreement/order or when making any other decision about the Goods (i.e. the information given during booking or set out in the agreement/order form as well as any other information We make available to You. Any change to any such information shall only be effective if We and You agree it.
The price "Price" of the Goods shall be as set out in the "estimated cost of work" field on the Customer Work Agreement/Order form. Prior to inspection all prices are subject to site survey. If the cost of the Goods to Us increases due to any factor beyond Our control including, but not limited to, material costs, labour costs, alteration of exchange rates or duties, or changes to delivery rates, We reserve the right to increase the Price, in this case We will re issue an up to date quotation with the revised Price. That increased Price will apply if You agree it by accepting the quotation while the quotation is still valid for acceptance (see Clause 7 for validity). The Price is inclusive of fees for transportation and delivery. The Price is exclusive of any applicable VAT and other taxes or levies which are imposed or charged by any competent authority.
Any enquiry, order or other communication from You will not be a contractual offer to purchase the Goods. The quotation is not an acceptance by Us of any such enquiry, order or other communication from You. The quotation is Our contractual offer to sell the Goods to You which You may accept as follows. Your acceptance of the quotation will be Your confirmation that You are a Consumer. You may not accept the quotation if You are not a Consumer. If You accept the quotation by signing to start the work on the Customer Work Agreement/Order Form while the quotation is still valid there will then be a legally binding contract between You and Us for purchase of the Goods on these Terms and Conditions. The quotation is valid for a period of 7 days only from the date shown in the quotation unless We expressly withdraw the quotation before the end of that period in which case it will no longer be valid from the time We withdraw it. We cannot withdraw the quotation if You accepted it when it was still valid. You may withdraw any enquiry or order at any time before You accept the valid quotation.
Following Your acceptance of the quotation, We shall invoice You for the Price on or at any time after delivery of the Goods. You shall pay the Price on the date of Our invoice which is due on delivery of the goods supplied or specified service provided or on completion of the installation or otherwise in accordance with any credit terms agreed between Us and You. You must make payment where We have properly invoiced You even if delivery has not taken place and/or even though the ownership of the Goods does not pass to You until You have made full payment as set out in Clause 10. We will only issue a receipt for payment if You request it. All payments must be made in pounds sterling unless otherwise agreed in writing between Us and You. Payment is to be made by either cash, cheque, debit card, credit card or BACS to Viabl Ltd t/a Xpress Pest Control Services, 39 Progress Road, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 5PR.
