*Management survey (formerly Type 2 Survey in MDHS100)

• The Management Survey is a non-invasive inspection, inspecting and testing materials which can be accessed without specialist tools and without damage to the decor, fixtures, fittings and fabric of the building save for small areas from which samples are required to be taken, the type and nature of asbestos materials present, in particular asbestos debris.
• Each room/area will be visually inspected for materials suspected to contain asbestos and representative samples taken for confirmation. Effort will be made to investigate all aspects of the building fabric in so far as is practicable.  

*Refurbishment or demolition Survey (formerly Type 3) 

• This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as is ‘reasonably practicable’, all ACM’s in the building and may involve destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach. A full sampling programme is undertaken to identify possible ACM’s and estimates of the volume and surface area of the ACM’s made. The survey can be used as a basis for tendering the removal of ACM’s from the building prior to demolition or major refurbishment so the survey does not assess the condition of the asbestos, other than to note areas of damage or where additional asbestos debris may be expected to be present. 
• This form of inspection is to be utilised prior to any planned refurbishment, renovation or demolition whether it be a whole site, building or parts thereof. It is a requirement under the CDM 2007 Regulations and as part of the ‘building controllers’ responsibility in accordance with the CAR2012 regulations. This inspection may not identify all asbestos materials even though it is intrusive in nature, as asbestos applications are known to exist in parts of any given building that may not be accessible in advance of demolition and may not be identified within the report. This inspection is intrusive by its nature to gain the required access to parts of the building, therefore damage to décor, fixtures and fittings, and fabric of the building will be extensive in most instances.

11. YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS

    1. If you are a business customer we warrant that on delivery any products which are goods shall:

       • (a) conform in all material respects with their description;
       • (b) be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship;
       • (c) be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979); and
       • (d) be fit for any purpose held out by us.

    2. Subject to clause 11.3, if:

       • (a) you give us notice in writing within a reasonable time of discovery that a product does not comply with the warranty set out in clause 11.1;
       • (b) we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining such product; and
       • (c) you return such product to us at your cost,
       • we shall, at our option, repair or replace the defective product, or refund the price of the defective product in full.

    3. We will not be liable for a product’s failure to comply with the warranty in clause 11.1 if:

       • (a) you make any further use of such product after giving a notice in accordance with clause 11.2(a);
       • (b) the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the product or (if there are none) good trade practice;
       • (c) the defect arises as a result of us following any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Customer;
       • (d) you alter or repair the product without our written consent; or
       • (e) the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions.

    4. Except as provided in this clause 11, we shall have no liability to you in respect of a product’s failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 11.1.
    5. These terms shall apply to any repaired or replacement products supplied by us under clause 11.2.

12. PRICE AND PAYMENT 

    1. Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct.
    2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
    3. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
    4. When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment by bank transfer or with all major credit and debit cards. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying:

       • (a) For goods, you must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.
       • (b) For services, you must make an advance payment and instalment payments thereafter, as set out more specifically in the above Specific Sector Terms and Conditions of the price of the services, before we start providing them – which are confirmed as being: for survey’s – payment in full before we are obliged to release the survey report; and/or for removal services – unless you have an account with us, final payment is payable on completion. You must pay each invoice within 30 calendar days after the date of the invoice.

    5. Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
    6. We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 8% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

13. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER 

    1. We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
    2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you; of satisfactory quality; supplied with reasonable skill and care and, where installed by us, correctly installed; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
    3. When we are liable for damage to your property. If we are providing services in your property, we will make good any damage to your property caused by us while doing so. However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that we discover while providing the services.
    4. We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the products for to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 14.

       • (c) breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or

       • (b) our total liability to you for all other losses arising under or in connection with any contract between us, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total sums paid by you for products under such order in respect of which the issue arose.

16. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS 

    1. We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this but doing so shall not affect our rights whatsoever.
    2. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. We do not have to agree and do not have to be reasonable when considering any such request.
    3. Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
    4. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
    5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
    6. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer.These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.
    7. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a business. If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
