Installation & Dayworks Terms & Conditions

Work will be carried out during normal working hours, unless agreed in advance, and you must provide access to the premises during the course of the installation. Whilst we will make every reasonable effort to work with you or others, any interruptions or delays caused by you, your staff, residents or others resulting in our work not being completed in the timescale specified you will be charged additional sums for our engineers to return to the property to complete the works. This will be charged at our standard call out rate.

The Installation Date is the date mutually agreed by you and ourselves for the installation of the equipment. If we cannot install any part of the equipment, because of circumstances we are not responsible for, the uninstalled equipment or components will be invoiced for but retained by Matrix Fire and Security. If the equipment has been left on site you may not, under any circumstances, instruct third party contractors to complete the installation, to do so would result in an immediate invalidation of the warranty provided by this agreement. In any event the warranty period for the installation (inclusive of any equipment/components uninstalled) commences from the issue of the practical completion certificate by the Company. In the event that the installation of the system will not be completed within a three month period from the date of the quotation we may increase our initial charges where our material and labour costs increase after the initial agreed installation date.

Where the installation of the system continues for more than one month, we reserve the right to submit progress or interim requests for payment of the initial charges based on the amount of work completed and/or the amount of equipment delivered to the premises. If we hold materials for you in our bonded stores we reserve the right to invoice you for the full amount of those materials prior to installation at, or supply to the premises.

Where our specification and charges are prepared to comply with a tender or specification prepared by you or by a third party, or to comply with a relevant standard, our specification and charges will have been prepared in good faith, relying on our interpretation of the tender specification or standard. If you seek to impose a different interpretation, which affects our specification, we reserve the right to increase our charges.

Where a budget quotation has been provided, the premises will be surveyed prior to installation by our engineering supervisory staff. Any essential deviation, incurring additional expense, will be notified to the Customer and/or its agent before commencing work.

Installation will be carried out with specialist labour and high quality materials, in line with current legislation and European Standards. Where applicable, the Company’s quotation is based upon surface wiring, or within containment provided by others. QMF40. InstallationTermsAndConditionsVersion2July2015 Page | 2
