5. Pricing and Quotations
Prices for Services may be provided as fixed quotations, minimum charges, or based on an hourly rate or price per area or item, as specified by the Company.
All quotations are given on the assumption that the information provided by the Customer is accurate and that reasonable access and standard cleaning conditions apply. The Company reserves the right to amend a quotation where:
The Premises or items to be cleaned differ from the description provided.
Additional Services are requested by the Customer.
Work is required outside normal working hours by arrangement.
Heavily soiled or stained areas require substantially more work or specialist treatment than reasonably anticipated.
Unless otherwise stated, all prices are exclusive of any applicable taxes or government charges that may be introduced or varied by law.

The Company may require a deposit to secure a booking, particularly for larger jobs, multi-room appointments, or commercial contracts. Any required deposit amount and due date will be communicated before confirming the booking.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment for Services is due immediately upon completion of the work at the Premises. The Company may accept various forms of payment, such as card payment, bank transfer or other electronic methods, as communicated to the Customer.
For account Customers or commercial contracts, alternative payment terms may be agreed in writing. In the absence of specific terms, invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date.

The Customer may cancel or request to reschedule a booking by providing notice to the Company using the same communication methods used for booking or other channels specified by the Company.
The following cancellation and rescheduling terms will normally apply, unless otherwise specified at the time of booking:
If the Customer cancels or reschedules more than 48 hours before the scheduled appointment time, no cancellation fee will normally be charged, and any deposit paid may be applied to a future booking or refunded at the Companys discretion.
If the Customer cancels or reschedules less than 48 hours but more than 24 hours before the appointment time, the Company may retain part or all of any deposit to cover administrative and scheduling costs.
If the Customer cancels, reschedules or fails to provide access less than 24 hours before the appointment, or if the Companys operatives are unable to gain access to the Premises on arrival, the full minimum charge or deposit may be retained or become payable.
The Company reserves the right to cancel or reschedule an appointment due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as severe weather, staff illness, vehicle breakdown or equipment failure. In such cases, the Company will contact the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable to arrange an alternative appointment. The Company will not be liable for any loss resulting from such cancellation or rescheduling, but any pre-paid amounts for the affected appointment will either be applied to the rebooked service or refunded.
8. Service Standards and Limitations
The Company will carry out the Services with reasonable care and skill and in accordance with industry practices for carpet and upholstery cleaning. However, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that:
Some stains, odours or damage may be permanent and cannot be removed or fully remedied by cleaning.
The appearance of carpets and fabrics may be affected by age, wear, fading, prior cleaning attempts or the nature of the materials, and results may therefore vary.
Shrinkage, colour migration or texture changes can occasionally occur, especially where items have pre-existing weaknesses or have not been properly maintained or fitted.
The Company cannot guarantee that Services will remove all allergens, contaminants or infestations; specialist treatment may be required in some cases.
Where the Customer requests treatment of delicate or high-risk items, the Company may require a signed acknowledgement of risk before proceeding, or may decline to undertake the work.
9. Customer Inspection and Complaints
The Customer is encouraged to inspect the work on completion while the Companys operative is still present at the Premises. Any concerns or issues should be raised immediately so that they can be addressed on the spot where reasonably possible.
If the Customer has a complaint about any aspect of the Service, they must notify the Company as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 48 hours of completion of the work. The Customer should provide details of the Premises, the date of the Service and a clear description of the issue.
The Company will investigate complaints promptly and, where appropriate, may arrange a return visit to inspect the work and, if reasonable, re-clean affected areas or offer another form of resolution. The Companys obligation will generally be limited to rectifying any defect in the Services provided, subject to the limitations of liability set out in these Terms and Conditions.
10. Liability and Insurance
The Company carries public liability insurance appropriate to the nature of its business. Details of cover can be provided on request.

Subject to the above, the Company shall not be liable for:
Any indirect, consequential or economic loss, including loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of opportunity.
Damage or deterioration to items that were already defective, worn, stained, loose, poorly fitted, or otherwise in a vulnerable condition prior to the Service.
Any damage resulting from inaccurate information or instructions provided by the Customer.
Loss of or damage to items not directly related to the cleaning process or items left in or under furniture that was moved at the Customers request.
The Companys total liability in respect of any claim arising under or in connection with the Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law, be limited to the total amount paid or payable by the Customer for the specific Service in respect of which the claim arises.

The Company will handle waste, soiled water and residues from the cleaning process in accordance with applicable waste management and environmental regulations in the United Kingdom.
Dirty water, cleaning residues and removed dry matter such as dust, lint and small debris will be collected and disposed of responsibly by the Company or via the Customers normal waste systems, as appropriate and lawful.
The Customer must advise the Company in advance if any area or item to be cleaned has been contaminated with hazardous substances, bodily fluids, chemicals or other materials requiring specialist handling or disposal. Additional charges may apply for such work, and the Company reserves the right to decline Services that involve unsafe or unlawful waste handling.
The Customer remains responsible for any waste not generated by the Companys activities, including furniture, household rubbish or building waste present at the Premises.

The Company will take reasonable care to protect the Customers property and contents while carrying out the Services. Protective materials may be used where appropriate, and hoses or cables will be positioned with due regard to safety.
The Customer should keep children, pets and other occupants away from work areas, equipment and cleaning solutions during and immediately after the Service, to avoid accidents and interference with the cleaning process.
The Company will not be liable for accidents or damage arising from persons or animals entering treated areas before they are completely dry or safe, or from interference with equipment contrary to the instructions of the Companys operatives.
13. Force Majeure
The Company shall not be in breach of these Terms and Conditions nor liable for any delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations where such delay or failure results from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control. These may include, but are not limited to, extreme weather conditions, strikes, lockouts, transport disruptions, accidents, acts of terrorism, pandemics or governmental restrictions.
14. Privacy and Data Protection
The Company will collect and process personal data about Customers only to the extent necessary to arrange and provide the Services, handle payments, respond to enquiries and manage the business relationship.
Customer information will be stored securely and will not be sold to third parties. It may be shared with trusted partners or sub-contractors where required to deliver the Services or comply with legal obligations.
Customers have rights in relation to their personal data under applicable data protection laws and may contact the Company to exercise those rights where applicable.
