9. Your Right to Cancel
In a case where we have not arranged for you a source of finance, then any financing agreements will be your own responsibility, but you may cancel the order itself by notice in writing to us within fourteen days of you receiving a copy of the order signed by you and us. Again, in this case, we will return your deposit to you in full.
Apart from the special circumstances described above, you may only cancel your order with our agreement. Your deposit will be returned to you, but only after we have deducted a fair amount for our expense incurred up to the date of cancellation. Since some of our products may be custom made to your requirements and measurement, if we have already started work on your contract, we are unlikely to be able to use these items we have made elsewhere. In this case, we will deduct the value of these items from your deposit, and ask you to pay any additional amount if their value is more than the amount of your deposit. Where you pay for such items we will, at your request, deliver (but not install) them for you. You must pay us in advance for delivery and the charge levied by us will depend upon where you would like the items delivered. If you or your appointed agent are not available to accept delivery at the agreed time and place then we may make an additional charge for any re-delivery required.
Any notice to cancel the contract, and any copy of notice to cancel the credit agreement, must be given in writing for the attention of the Sales Manager at the address shown overleaf, quoting he contract number. For cancellation of the credit agreement, notice in writing will again be necessary and you should follow the instructions contained in the credit agreement as to the procedure for giving notice.
10. Our Right to Cancel
If, after a technical survey has been carried out, it is apparent that the
work as shown in our quotation cannot be carried out for safety or other technical reasons or if we recommend design changes for safety or other technical reasons at an increased price which you are not prepared to pay, or your application for finance is not accepted by the finance company, we reserve the right to cancel. In these cases we would return your deposit after deducting our expenses, if any.
