However, time shall not be of the essence to the date and time of performance of the services. We (or Our sub-contractors or agents) cannot be held responsible for delays that occur due to Your actions or due to an event outside Our control. In such, We may be forced to cancel appointments at late notice. In such circumstances, We will agree an alternative date to carry out the Installation and We will not incur any liability for such delay such as loss of earnings or costs that another party enforces on You for any delays.
4.10. We will not be responsible for delay due to lack of instructions by You or by Your agent. If any such delays involve an expense to Us, You will pay that expense.
4.11. You will provide adequate facilities for economical execution of the Agreement. These will include access to the Property, power, water and toilet facilities.
4.12. The installers may perform a site assessment to look for any potential health and safety risks and they will not start work if there are any risks to health. If this assessment details any reasonable preparation work from You then this will need to be completed before the work starts. The installers will not work unless there is a person over 18 years old at the Property. We can adjust the specification of works if required for legal conformance or to avoid a safety risk.
4.13. In the event that We are required to provide additional pre agreed works for Your improvement these will be charged at £60 inc. VAT per hour per fitter and excluding materials.

If during the progress of the Installation any hazardous materials (including asbestos) are encountered which could not have been reasonably identified by Us prior to their discovery, We will let You know. We will withdraw Our staff immediately from the Property until the Property is made safe. Removal of hazardous material is Your responsibility. Where You request removal of the hazardous materials to be undertaken by Us or Our approved contractor, costs will be charged to You in addition to the agreed contract price and will subject to the terms of a different Agreement.

5.3. All prices quoted or provided in Your Customer Agreement are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate.
5.4. If You chose to use a finance product from one of Our lending partners to pay for or contribute to the cost of Your improvement(s), this will be subject to an additional credit Agreement.
6.1. This Agreement is not intended to transfer any Intellectual Property Rights from Us to You.

7.1. If We fail to comply with this Agreement, We are responsible for loss or damage You suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of this Agreement or Our negligence, but We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of Our breach or if it was contemplated by You and Us at the Agreement Date.
7.2. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude Our liability for:

We reserve the right to recover our costs (up to £250 plus vat) from any deposit You have paid or bill You for them If you decide to cancel after the successful completion of a technical survey. A successful technical survey is one where we have confirmed we can install Solar PV at your property. In the event that You cancel after completion of a successful survey but before the install has started then We reserve the right to recover any cost incurred including DNO but not limited to DNO application or acceptance fees, all recoverable fees will be notified once incurred.

13.1. If additional work is being carried out, i.e. if the flue needs relocating or new pipework is needed, this work may cause superficial damage to wall coverings, paint etc. Although reasonable effort will be made to avoid such damage, there may be a need to redecorate certain areas once the work is completed. This is not included within the costs detailed in the Customer Agreement and You will be responsible for this.
13.2. The installation of a new boiler may require the removal of existing brick work which will require new replacement bricks in order for us to make good. When making good brick work We will offer three types of bricks for You to choose from for Your Property. If You would prefer to supply Your own bricks, these must be on site prior to work commencing.
13.3. If it is necessary to remove or alter fixed furniture (e.g. kitchen units) or flooring, You should arrange for a specialist contractor to carry out such works. We will endeavour to give notice if such works are required. If You instruct Us to carry out such works, We will not be held liable for any resulting damage to the furniture or flooring or surrounding area, reinstatement or making good. Certain areas may need redecoration, repair, restoring or re-fixing once the Installation(s) has been completed and is not included in the agreed contract price. Replacement of flooring will be Your responsibility and at Your cost.
13.4. This Condition 13.4 is subject to Condition 7.1. No guarantee can be given on the integrity or suitability of any existing components being connected to and We cannot be held responsible for the failure of any such components or defects existing within any part of the original system i.e. seals, radiators, pipework, showers, taps etc. Where products are connected to existing hot and cold-water pipes, tanks, seals or cisterns, the Installation is based on the assumption that the existing plumbing system is in satisfactory condition.
We will not be liable for
unless We have been negligent by way of not having foreseen that such damage may occur or We have been negligent in carrying out the installation.
In this Condition 13.4 references to “Faults” or “Faulty” include, but are not limited to, potential increases in hot and or cold-water pressure in the Property as a result of changing the boiler which may affect existing seals within connected components causing damage to those seals and connected components, and damage due to leakage and/or flooding.
13.5. As it is necessary that all pipes are accessible, We will not normally bury them in solid floors or walls and pipes will be exposed in these situations. Boxing in of pipework is not included unless specifically detailed.
13.6. Where combination boilers are fitted, You may find that the flow rate of Your hot water will be reduced if more than one tap or outlet is used simultaneously. This is not a fault and is a characteristic of most combination boilers due to absence of a hot water tank. If You report this as a fault to Us We may not attend Your Property should it be clear that no fault is present on the goods and services We have provided.
13.7. As water supply rates into Your Property can be variable over time, We cannot be responsible for Your central heating system failing to function properly because Your water supply rate into Your Property becomes inadequate or variable. We will not be held liable for the flow rates to Your Property and or heating system.
13.8. This Condition 13.8 is subject to Condition 7.1. Condensate pipes in many cases take condensed water vapour collected in the flue and discharge it outside Your Property. If these are located in unheated or external areas, they can freeze in extreme weather. We will not be liable for any costs You incur to defrost a frozen condensate pipe should this happen unless We have been negligent by way of not having foreseen that such damage may occur or We have been negligent in carrying out the installation. You may find links to advise on this and other common heating system faults on Our website.
13.9. The performance of solar systems is impossible to predict with certainty due to the variability in the amount of solar radiation (sunlight) from location to location and from year to year. The contract You are signing is for the supply of goods only and any performance figures We have given You should be used for illustration purposes only. Any estimate of performance is done so using industry standards. However Effective Home Ltd. will guarantee Our 1st year estimate of performance made. In order to qualify for this guarantee the system must be fully operational without interruptions.
13.10. Whilst it remains Your responsibility to check with the local planners regarding the need for planning permission, We will handle all standard Solar related planning applications on Your behalf. Depending on the circumstances this may incur additional charges to You in addition to the costs set out in the Customer Agreement. If required, We will discuss these and agreed with You in advance of any install.
13.11. We will arrange with third parties to erect scaffolding at Your site. During busy periods scaffolding may be left erected for a period of time beyond Installation. Where this is required, We will notify You in advance and will keep You updated on when the scaffolding will be removed. We commit to have all access equipment removed within four weeks of completion.
14.1. Module and inverter brands/models are subject to availability from suppliers; therefore, We reserve the right to substitute for suitable alternative equipment if stocks are depleted. You will be consulted before the Installation.
14.2. The performance of solar systems is impossible to predict with certainty due to the variability in the amount of solar radiation (sunlight) from location to location and from year to year. The contract You are signing is for the supply of goods only and any performance figures We have given You should be used for illustration purposes only. Any estimate of performance is done so using industry standards. However Effective Home Ltd. will guarantee Our 1st year estimate of performance made. In order to qualify for this guarantee the system must be fully operational without interruptions.
14.3. We are members of the HIES Consumer Code Scheme (HIES), authorised by the Flexi-Orb Scheme (FO) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and uphold the highest ethical, technical and professional standards in all Our dealings with Our customers. If You are not satisfied with any aspect of Our service, please let Us know immediately and We will do Our utmost to resolve the issue as quickly as possible since We want You to be delighted with Your choice of Effective Home Ltd. as the provider of Your solar panel system.
14.4. We will:
14.5. The amount of time needed to complete the works will depend on the system You have chosen. Our Installation team will normally install a 4kW system in one day on a standard roof. However, Installation may take longer if a roof has a complex design, if We need to source new equipment, or if We need to repair or replace faulty equipment.
14.6. We will remove any building rubble and Our waste from Your site and make good any damage caused by Us. Any damage not made good (such as a leak in the roof which only becomes apparent when it first rains after the Installation) must be reported in writing or by email to Us immediately upon discovery to prevent further potential damage. We are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to Your Property that We discover in the course of Installation and/or performance by Us.
14.7. On occasion, We may have to replace an item with another due to stock availability. We will always inform You if this becomes necessary and so long as it is an equivalent or better replacement in terms of function, capability and, in the case of solar panels, the same colour(s) as originally specified, this will not be deemed a material change to the contract by either party.
14.8. Whilst it remains Your responsibility to check with the local planners regarding the need for planning permission, We will handle all standard Solar PV related planning or district network operator applications on Your behalf. Depending on the circumstances this may incur additional charges to You in addition to the costs set out in the Customer Agreement. If required, We will discuss these and agreed with You in advance of any install.
14.9. We undertake to repair or replace faulty materials free of charge for the first year of the contract. Thereafter all materials supplied are covered by the manufacturers’ own warranties and We will provide You with reasonable assistance in pursuing any claim should that be necessary. At the point of completion, We will give You details of all the manufacturers’ warranties applicable to Your Installation. These are also available on the manufacturer’s website or by request from Our head office.
14.10. The solar panels come with a minimum 25-year warranty up to the lifetime warranty for the manufacture of the modules and the performance of the solar cells. This warranty is for the product and is transferable. However please see the individual manufacturer’s warranty and guarantee certificates for full disclosure of all terms and conditions relating to individual products.
14.11. All workmanship warranties are protected by insurance as specified in the HIES Consumer Code. Should any fault be due to defective workmanship, You are fully covered for 2 years after the Installation date.
14.12. The mounting system comes with a 25-year guarantee.
14.13. Warranties do not extend to damage or faults due to accident, misuse, acts of God, neglect by You, the removal or repositioning of part of the system if it has been carried out by anyone who has not been authorised by Us, or any other event outside Our control.
14.14. These warranties are in addition to any statutory rights You may have and are transferable to any new owners of the Property. You must notify Us within 28 days of any sale for this to be applicable. Advice about Your legal rights are available from Your local Citizen’s Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
14.15. We will arrange with third parties to erect scaffolding at Your site. During busy periods scaffolding may be left erected for a period of time beyond Installation. Where this is required, We will notify You in advance and will keep You updated on when the scaffolding will be removed. We commit to have all access equipment removed within four weeks of completion.
14.16 You are confirming that you are the legal and registered owner/occupier of the Property and You are providing Us with permission to act on your behalf to seek and apply for grid connections on Your land for the purpose of connecting a Renewables project to the local electricity distribution network.
14.17 You also provide Us permission to take action on Your behalf on your account including connection agreements, offer letters, terminating connection contracts and requesting quotations that relate to the installation of the Improvement until such time as you write to us to withdraw such permission.
DISCLAIMER FOR NORTHERN QUADRANT INSTALLATION
14.18 I, the undersigned, confirm that I have received and fully understand the generation and yield calculations, provided by Effective Home, for the purposes of forecasting the performance of the proposed solar PV installation at my property. I further acknowledge that part of or all the installation will be mounted with an orientation of more than 90 degrees away from South. I have been advised and acknowledge, here in writing, that this orientation is not the optimum orientation for solar panels in the northern hemisphere.
Our industry is well regulated. The tools that we use to calculate the yield of PV systems are calibrated to be accurate when forecasting generation within the recommended zone, which is no more than 90 degrees from south. While we endeavour to give accurate calculations for installations that fall outside these recommended guidelines, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of these yield calculations. I further confirm my understanding of the principle that yield from any part of the installation that is not orientated as recommended cannot be guaranteed or form part of our customer agreement.
15.1. For wall insulation We ask that You please remove delicate items and ornaments from both sides of the walls We work on and store safely to prevent any damage caused by vibration. We will not be liable for any such damage that could have been prevented had the items been moved and stored safely away from the walls.
15.2. For roof insulation We ask that You remove all stored items from the loft. We will not be liable for any items stored in the loft and may refuse to complete the installation should items be stored in the loft on the day of installation. Following the installation of loft insulation We recommend that items are no longer stored in the roof space to both avoid damage to stored items and avoid reducing the effectiveness of the insulation.
15.3. We shall fill any holes we drill with mortar that closely matches the colours already used in the wall but cannot guarantee an exact match, particularly on rendered finishes.
