“The Conditions” are the Terms and conditions upon which the Company will provide services to the Buyer.
“The Buyers responsibilities” this means the Buyer must inform the Company of any information relating to the vehicle which might be relevant or helpful to the Company in carrying out the Services. The Buyer will be responsible for the consequences arising from any incorrect information supplied to Company or by withholding or failing to inform the Company of any relevant information before the Services commence.

1.2 Any cancellation of any order by the Buyer must be made in writing at least seven working days before scheduled start date for the agreed work has commenced by the Company and agreed as cancelled also in writing by the Company. In case of any cancellation after that period, the Buyer will be responsible for all labour costs and charges accrued between the date the work was commenced and the date of the cancellation being acknowledged in writing by the Company.
1.3 The Company shall retain the ownership of all parts and materials supplied to the Buyer and fitted to the vehicle and ownership will only transfer to the Buyer upon settlement in full the invoice(s) for the Services rendered by the Company.
1.4 Any estimate of cost for the provision of the Services is the Company’s considered estimate of the likely cost of the Services, but all estimates are estimates only and are not to be treated as firm quotations or fixed fees and due to the nature of vehicle restoration or fabrication work on a shell supplied by the buyer the condition of the vehicle may be worse than originally thought thus requiring additional panels or work, the Company will endeavour to advise the Buyer at the earliest opportunity if this arises and agree a revised estimate with the Buyer before proceeding further with the work.
1.5 Any estimate will be based on the cost for the Services at the time and the cost of panels and steel products which can vary seasonally or due to market fluctuation the estimate is given and be valid for 30 days only, after which a revision may need to be made if prices have changed for materials.
1.6 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if it appears during the provision of the Services that have been estimated will be exceeded by more than 20% then the Company will notify the Buyer as soon as reasonably possible and will not continue with the provision of the Services unless and until the Buyer authorises the Company to do so.

This is however, subject to the Buyer having met the Buyers responsibilities as detailed in the definitions clause above.
2.5 If the vehicle has in the Company’s opinion been subject to misuse, neglect or accident which has then caused the damage, or if it has been repaired by anyone other than the Company, then the Company reserves the right to refuse to repair the vehicle at its cost.

8. Limitation of our Liability
8.1 If the Company fails to comply with the Conditions, it shall only be responsible for any loss or damage suffered by the Buyer which is a directly foreseeable result of the Company’s breach of the Conditions or by the Company’s negligence, in either case this is limited up to the value of the charges for the Services only, and the Company is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not directly foreseeable, including any economic loss, or which is not the result of its breach of the Conditions or its negligence or any costs of removal or refitting of any Parts or replacement parts. Any particular loss or damage is directly foreseeable only if at the time of entering into this agreement it was an obvious consequence of the Company’s breach or negligence or it was clearly contemplated by both the Buyer and the Company at the time of making this agreement. The Buyer must make every effort to mitigate any loss and time shall not be of the essence in respect of the Services and accordingly the Company shall not be liable for any delay in supplying the Services.
8.2 The Company accepts no liability for any advice given to the Buyer by any of its employees or agents (in any format) as to the application or use of any parts, or their set up or use unless such advice is confirmed in writing by the Company in either email or letter.
8.3 All risk in any Services (to include the provision of Parts) shall pass to the Buyer on completion of the Services or earlier collection of the vehicle and/or delivery of the Parts. The Services (to include the provision of Parts) shall be deemed completed when the Buyer or his or her agent collects the vehicle and/or Parts from the Company or when the Company dispatches the Parts directly to the Buyer.
8.4 Title to any Goods or Parts supplied to the Buyer shall only pass once the Buyer has paid the relevant invoice in full. Until ownership of the Parts has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall:
8.4.1 store them so that they remain readily identifiable as belonging to the Company; 8.4.2 not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to them; and
8.4.3 maintain them in satisfactory condition, keep them insured for their full value with a reputable insurer and ensure the Company’s interest is noted on the policy and on request allow the Company or its representatives to inspect the Goods or Parts and the policy.
8.5 If before ownership of the Goods or Parts passes to the Buyer it is the subject of bankruptcy, winding-up or other insolvency proceedings, application or event, then without limiting any other right the Company may have it may at any time require the Buyer to deliver the Parts back to the Company
9. Set off and Counterclaim
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Buyer shall not be entitled to set off against any monies due to the Company under the Agreement or any other account whatsoever, any amount claimed by or due to the Buyer from the Company whether pursuant to the Agreement or in any other account whatsoever.
10. Lien
The Company shall have a lien on the vehicle and any other of the Buyer’s property or assets in the Company’s possession at its premises until all sums due to them have been paid in full. After giving the Buyer notice the Company shall have the right to sell or dispose of the Car or any other assets as the Buyer’s agent and at the Buyer’s expense and apply the proceeds towards the payment of the sums outstanding and remaining due to the Company. Upon accounting to the Buyer for any balance remaining after payment of all sums due to the Company (including all and any costs of sale or disposal and any legal costs and fees arising from the recovery process), the Company shall be discharged of all liability in respect of the vehicle and any other of the Buyer’s assets previously held in its possession.
11. Storage Charges
Once an agreed start date for the works has been agreed the vehicle delivery date will be set, the vehicle will then remain in safe storage at the Company’s premises until the works are completed. The Buyer will be advised of the completion date, and the vehicle will then need to be collected within 14 days from the Company’s premises as the Company has limited storage capabilities and the next scheduled job will be arriving. If the vehicle is not collected within the allocated time frame, or if an order has been cancelled by the Buyer, then the same collection period applies. Any vehicles not collected within that specified timeframe will then be charged storage at the rate of £20 per day which will be invoiced weekly and must be paid in full to avoid the Company having to exercise its right of lien as stated in Clause 10 above.
12. Termination of Contract
12.1 The Buyer may terminate his or her agreement with the Company at any time by giving the company 14 days’ notice in writing, however the Buyer will remain liable to pay all invoiced costs and any storage charges (see Clause 9 above), along with any further charges incurred by the Company in order to make ready the Car for collection by the Buyer or their agent.
12.2 The Company may terminate its agreement with the Buyer at any time and for any reason with immediate effect by giving notice of the termination in writing to the Buyer and the Buyer shall remain liable to pay all invoiced costs and any storage charges, along with any further charges made by the Company in order to ready the vehicle for collection by the Buyer or their agent.
13. General Provisions
13.1 If the Company fails to insist that the Buyer perform any of the Buyer’s obligations under these Conditions, or if the Company does not enforce its rights against the Buyer, or if the Company delays in doing so, that will not mean that the Company has waived its rights against the Buyer. It also will not mean that the Buyer does not have to comply with those obligations. If the Company does intend to waive a default by the Buyer, it will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that the Company will automatically waive any later default by the Buyer. 13.2 Each clause of these Conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them is unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding on both parties.
13.3 These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the law of England and Wales and any dispute in connection with them or any claim by either party against the other (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be determined exclusively by the courts of England and Wales to whose jurisdiction both the Company and the Buyer irrevocably submit.
13.4 The headings used in these Conditions are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the Conditions.
13.5 None of these Conditions breach the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and have been drafted by the Company’s solicitors to clearly set out the basis of the contract between the Buyer and the Company, no variation of these Terms and conditions will be accepted under any circumstances.
14. Third Party Contracts
Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, nothing herein shall confer or is intended to confer a benefit on any third party for the purpose of the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or for any other purpose.
15. Variation
No variation in the provisions of the Agreement made between the parties shall be of any effect unless agreed and made in writing and signed on behalf of both parties.
16. Assignment

17. Health and Safety

18. Entire Agreement
18.1 The Buyer hereby acknowledges that the terms and conditions contained in the Conditions will supersede all and any prior agreements and undertakings existing between the parties in respect of the Agreement made between them and all obligations of any kind owed by the Company to the Buyer in respect thereof howsoever arising which the Buyer may have either directly or indirectly against the Company and constitutes the entire Agreement in respect thereof.
18.2 Each of the parties agree that save in respect of statements made fraudulently it shall have no remedy in respect of any untrue statement upon which it relied in entering into any Agreement between the Company and the Buyer and that their only remedies shall be for breach of contact. 19. Acceptance
