30. In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Services on time, you can require us to
reduce the Fees or charges by an appropriate amount (including the right to receive a refund for anything already paid
above the reduced amount). The amount of the reduction can, where appropriate, be up to the full amount of the Fees or
charges.
31. In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Goods on time, you can (in addition to
any other remedies) treat the Contract at an end if:
we have refused to deliver the Goods, or if delivery on time is essential taking into account all the relevant
circumstances at the time the Contract was made, or you said to us before the Contract was made that delivery on
time was essential; or
after we have failed to deliver on time, you have specified a later period which is appropriate to the circumstances
and we have not delivered within that period.
32. If you treat the Contract at an end, we will (in addition to other remedies) promptly return all payments made under the
Contract.
33. If you were entitled to treat the Contract at an end, but do not do so, you are not prevented from cancelling the Order
for any Goods or rejecting Goods that have been delivered and, if you do this, we will (in addition to other remedies)
without delay return all payments made under the Contract for any such cancelled or rejected Goods. If the Goods have
been delivered, you must return them to us or allow us to collect them from you and we will pay the costs of this.
34. If any Goods form a commercial unit (a unit is a commercial unit if division of the unit would materially impair the
value of the goods or the character of the unit) you cannot cancel or reject the Order for some of those Goods without
also cancelling or rejecting the Order for the rest of them.
35. We do not generally deliver to addresses outside England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and
Channels Islands. If, however, we accept an Order for delivery outside that area, you may need to pay import duties or
other taxes, as we will not pay them.

subject to the above provisions and provided you are not liable for extra charges.

40. You do not own the Goods until we have received payment in full. If full payment is overdue or a step occurs towards
your bankruptcy, we can choose, by notice to cancel any delivery and end any right to use the Goods still owned by
you, in which case you must return them or allow us to collect them.
Withdrawal and cancellation
41. You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind and
without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.
42. This is a distance contract (as defined below) which has the cancellation rights (Cancellation Rights) set out below.
These Cancellation Rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for the following goods and services (with no others) in
the following circumstances:
contracts where you have specifically requested a visit from us for the purpose of carrying out urgent repairs or
maintenance, except a contract for (a) services in addition to the urgent repairs or maintenance requested or (b)
goods other than replacement parts necessarily used in making the repairs or carrying out the maintenance, if we
supply those services or goods on the occasion of that visit;
goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised;
b.
c.
a.
b.
goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised;
goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
Right to cancel
43. Subject as stated in these Terms and Conditions, you can cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
44. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party, other than the
carrier, indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of the Goods. In a contract for the supply of services
only (without goods), the cancellation period will expire 14 days from the day the Contract was entered into. In a
contract for the supply of goods over time (ie subscriptions), the right to cancel will be 14 days after the first delivery.
45. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Contract by a clear statement setting
out your decision (eg a letter sent by post or email). You can use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not
obligatory. In any event, you must be able to show clear evidence of when the cancellation was made, so you may
decide to use the model cancellation form.
46. You can also electronically fill in and submit the model cancellation form or any other clear statement of the
Customer’s decision to cancel the Contract on our website pluginbuildingservices.co.uk . If you use this option, we will
communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation in a Durable Medium (eg by email) without
delay.
47. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the
right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
Commencement of Services in the cancellation period
48. We must not begin the supply of a service (being part of the Services) before the end of the cancellation period unless
you have made an express request for the service.
Effects of cancellation in the cancellation period
49. Except as set out below, if you cancel this Contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you,
including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the
least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
Payment for Services commenced during the cancellation period
50. Where a service is supplied (being part of the Service) before the end of the cancellation period in response to your
express request to do so, you must pay an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it is supplied,
ending with the time when we are informed of your decision to cancel the Contract. This amount is in proportion to
what has been supplied in comparison with the full coverage of the Contract. This amount is to be calculated on the
basis of the total price agreed in the Contract or, if the total price were to be excessive, on the basis of the market value
of the service that has been supplied, calculated by comparing prices for equivalent services supplied by other traders.
You will bear no cost for supply of that service, in full or in part, in this cancellation period if that service is not
supplied in response to such a request.
Deduction for Goods supplied
51. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of
unnecessary handling by you (ie handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics
and functioning of the Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This
is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.
Timing of reimbursement
52. If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or
(if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.

53. If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied or to be supplied (ie it is a contract for the supply
of services only), we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on
which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
54. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you
have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
Returning Goods
55. If you have received Goods in connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the Goods
or hand them over to us at Union House, 111 New Union Street, CV1 2NT without delay and in any event not
later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate to us your cancellation of this Contract. The deadline is met
if you send back the Goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You agree that you will have to bear the cost of
returning the Goods.
56. For the purposes of these Cancellation Rights, these words have the following meanings:
distance contract means a contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance sales
or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, with the
exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract
is concluded;
sales contract means a contract under which a trader transfers or agrees to transfer the ownership of goods to a
consumer and the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price, including any contract that has both goods and
services as its object.
Conformity
57. We have a legal duty to supply the Goods in conformity with the Contract, and will not have conformed if it does not
meet the following obligation.
58. Upon delivery, the Goods will:
be of satisfactory quality;
be reasonably fit for any particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is made, you
made known to us (unless you do not actually rely, or it is unreasonable for you to rely, on our skill and judgment)
and be fit for any purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and
conform to their description.
59. It is not a failure to conform if the failure has its origin in your materials.
60. We will supply the Services with reasonable skill and care.
61. We will provide the following after-sales service: Consumer support.
62. In relation to the Services, anything we say or write to you, or anything someone else says or writes to you on our
behalf, about us or about the Services, is a term of the Contract (which we must comply with) if you take it into account
when deciding to enter this Contract, or when making any decision about the Services after entering into this Contract.
Anything you take into account is subject to anything that qualified it and was said or written to you by us or on behalf
of us on the same occasion, and any change to it that has been expressly agreed between us (before entering this
Contract or later).
Duration, termination and suspension
63. The Contract continues as long as it takes us to perform the Services.
64. Either you or we may terminate the Contract or suspend the Services at any time by a written notice of termination or
suspension to the other if that other:
commits a serious breach, or series of breaches resulting in a serious breach, of the Contract and the breach either
cannot be fixed or is not fixed within 30 days of the written notice; or
is subject to any step towards its bankruptcy or liquidation.

Successors and our sub-contractors

obligations under the Contract. The Supplier will be liable for the acts of any sub-contractors who it chooses to help
perform its duties.
Circumstances beyond the control of either party
67. In the event of any failure by a party because of something beyond its reasonable control:
the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and
the party’s obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and
the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the
Customer’s above rights relating to delivery (and the right to cancel below).

out your decision (eg a letter sent by post or email). You can use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not
obligatory. In any event, you must be able to show clear evidence of when the cancellation was made, so you may
decide to use the model cancellation form.
46. You can also electronically fill in and submit the model cancellation form or any other clear statement of the
Customer’s decision to cancel the Contract on our website pluginbuildingservices.co.uk . If you use this option, we will
communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation in a Durable Medium (eg by email) without
delay.
47. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the
right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
Commencement of Services in the cancellation period
48. We must not begin the supply of a service (being part of the Services) before the end of the cancellation period unless
you have made an express request for the service.
Effects of cancellation in the cancellation period
49. Except as set out below, if you cancel this Contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you,
including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the
least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
Payment for Services commenced during the cancellation period
50. Where a service is supplied (being part of the Service) before the end of the cancellation period in response to your
express request to do so, you must pay an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it is supplied,
ending with the time when we are informed of your decision to cancel the Contract. This amount is in proportion to
what has been supplied in comparison with the full coverage of the Contract. This amount is to be calculated on the
basis of the total price agreed in the Contract or, if the total price were to be excessive, on the basis of the market value
of the service that has been supplied, calculated by comparing prices for equivalent services supplied by other traders.
You will bear no cost for supply of that service, in full or in part, in this cancellation period if that service is not
supplied in response to such a request.
Deduction for Goods supplied
51. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of
unnecessary handling by you (ie handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics
and functioning of the Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This
is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.
Timing of reimbursement
52. If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or
(if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.

54. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you
have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
Returning Goods
55. If you have received Goods in connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the Goods
or hand them over to us at Union House, 111 New Union Street, CV1 2NT without delay and in any event not
