Once a quotation has been accepted, any price changes will need to be agreed to by both supplied and customer. If you decline to accept the new proposal your deposit will be refunded.
Delivery and Collection of Orders
5. If a date for delivery or performance is nominated by the Customer, the Supplier will not be bound to deliver the goods or perform the services by that date unless it expressly agrees to do so in writing, signed by the Supplier, in which case, it will be deemed to agree to use reasonable endeavours to deliver or perform the services by the relevant date. The Supplier shall be excused from any failure to deliver or perform which is contributed to by causes beyond its reasonable control and the time specified for completion of delivery or performance shall be extended commensurately. Delay in delivery, performance or completion shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, nor shall it affect any other provisions of this Agreement to the Supplier’s disadvantage.

A full refund will be offered under these circumstances or you may enter into a new contract with the supplier for a different quotation.

11. The Customer warrants that it will comply with any relevant Renewable Energy legislation including retaining receipts and proof of installation for the life of any RECs, and refrain from providing any misleading information in any documents.
