This contract is for the supply and installation of goods and services to improve home energy efficiency, including boiler replacements, annual servicing, and insulation services.
Goods and services provided by Greener Grants are subject to the following terms and conditions. It is crucial that you read these terms carefully before signing, to fully understand your rights and obligations.
Greener Grants Limited is a Green Deal Approved Installer, Registration ref: STRI10331, and a Gas Safe Registered business, Registration ref: 559878.
1.0 CONFIRMATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES/PRICE AND PAYMENT
1.1 Confirmation of Goods, Services, and Price: Greener Grants typically conducts a residential site survey at your home to confirm the feasibility of supplying and installing the goods and services. Based on this survey:
1.2 Specification of Goods and Services: All goods supplied will match the specifications provided by Greener Grants Limited and be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. All installations and services will be performed with reasonable skill, care, and diligence. Greener Grants Limited may make reasonable changes to the specification of any goods or services to ensure compliance with applicable laws or codes of practice, provided these changes do not reduce the standard, quality, or performance of the goods or services or place you at a disadvantage.
1.3 Deposit: Greener Grants Limited will not deliver any goods or perform any services until you have paid the full costs for private works or any due contributions for partially Government Funded measures. Payments must be made at the point of handover and completion of the installation measure, either in cash to the installation operative, via BACS payment through your bank, or using card payment facilities if required.
1.4 Payment: The balance of the price is payable immediately upon delivery and installation of the goods and/or completion of the services in accordance with this contract. You must not unreasonably withhold or delay confirmation that the goods and services have been delivered and performed to your satisfaction.
1.5 Credit Agreements: If you have entered into a credit agreement with a finance provider introduced by Greener Grants Limited, you will need to enter into a separate agreement with that provider, and the funds will be paid directly to Greener Grants Limited. If you withdraw from the credit agreement under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, you will still be responsible for paying the outstanding balance of the price payable under this contract.
1.6 Ownership of Goods: All goods supplied remain the property of Greener Grants until fully paid for. This retention of ownership does not affect any claim Greener Grants may have against you for overdue payment.
1.7 Replacement of Existing Boiler under ECO Scheme: If your existing boiler is replaced under the ECO Scheme with partial Government funding, Greener Grants reserves the right to remove the old appliance, redundant pipework, and old tanks as part of our scrappage scheme. This prevents the old appliance from being re-installed elsewhere, preventing fraudulent grant claims. Greener Grants retains the right to dispose of these materials in an environmentally approved manner under Upper Tier Waste Carrier License no: CBDU68943.
1.8 Late Payments: If you fail to pay any amount owed to Greener Grants on time, Greener Grants may suspend further deliveries of goods and/or services (including warranty repairs) until all overdue amounts are paid. Interest on late payments will be charged daily at 2% above the base lending rate.
1.9 VAT: Greener Grants is entitled to adjust the price payable to reflect any changes in the VAT rate.
2.0 UTILITY SUPPLIES AND GAS SAFETY
2.1 Utility Supplies: You are responsible for ensuring your home has a safe electricity and adequate natural gas supply connection and associated meters before Greener Grants commences work (excluding gas for oil-fired boilers, where you must ensure a connection to a suitable oil tank). Arranging such supply connections and meters is not part of the services provided by Greener Grants.
2.2 Gas Safety: Greener Grants can only connect appliances to safe gas supplies. On the installation day, a gas soundness test will be performed. If a leak or defect is identified, the gas supply will be condemned until made safe. This work is not included in the contract price but can be undertaken by Intra Energy Limited for an additional fee. Alternatively, you can hire another Gas Safe registered engineer. If the work is delayed or you decide not to proceed, Greener Grants may cancel this contract without liability, refunding any deposit or amount paid in advance.
3.0 DELIVERY DATES
3.1 Delivery Dates: Dates for delivery/performance of goods and services are estimates. Greener Grants is not liable for minor delays or failures beyond its reasonable control (e.g., adverse weather, staff illness, market shortages of parts).
3.2 Termination due to Delay: You may terminate this contract without reason and at no cost before delivery of the goods and during a limited period afterward (see point 9.2 for details). If Greener Grants fails to deliver the goods and complete the services by agreed dates (and the delay is not due to your breach or circumstances beyond Greener Grants control), you may request in writing that delivery and services be completed within a reasonable time. If not completed within that period, you may terminate the contract due to breach.
4.0 ACCESS TO YOUR HOME AND LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE
4.1 Access to Your Home: You must provide free access to your home for Greener Grants to deliver goods and carry out services, including access to water, electricity, and gas. Necessary licenses, permits, or authorizations (e.g., listing building consents) must be secured in advance.
4.2 Damage to Goods: Once goods are delivered to your home, you are liable for any loss or damage unless caused by Greener Grants or during a reasonable inspection of the goods to confirm compliance with the contract.
4.3 Working Hours: Greener Grants usually works during standard hours on weekdays but may work outside these hours at its own expense to complete work promptly. If you request work outside standard hours, charges may apply.
4.4 Suspension of Work: If work is suspended or delayed at your request or due to your breach of contract (e.g., failure to arrange gas/electricity supply), Greener Grants may charge additional costs incurred due to the suspension or delay.
4.5 Damage to Your Home: Greener Grants accepts liability for foreseeable damage caused by its breach of contract but not for minor/cosmetic damage necessary to perform services (e.g., plasterwork, paintwork, decorations). Greener Grants is not responsible for burying pipework, permanently finishing cuts or holes, matching special floors, or re-laying glued or nailed carpets. Responsibility for making good any damage is limited to the terms outlined.
4.6 Liability for Structural Defects: Greener Grants is not liable for damage caused by structural defects in your home unless:
5.0 DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
5.1 Removal of Non-Hazardous Materials: In the provision of our Services, Greener Grants will undertake the removal of non-hazardous waste items from your premises (such as old boilers), which will subsequently become the property of Greener Grants upon removal. However, it’s important to note that our Services do not encompass the removal of hazardous materials (such as asbestos) from your premises, which may not have been reasonably identifiable during a standard visual inspection of the area where the Services are scheduled to be performed, prior to your acceptance of the Order Form.
5.2 Disposal of Hazardous Materials: In the event that hazardous materials are discovered at your premises subsequent to our initial inspection, Greener Grants may, at its discretion, agree to remove them for you for an additional pre-agreed charge. If such agreement is not reached, it is your responsibility to engage and cover the expenses of a specialized contractor to promptly remove these hazardous materials. In such instances, Greener Grants reserves the right to suspend further services until the hazardous materials are safely removed, and you provide a “site clearance for reoccupation” certificate issued by your contracted specialist.
5.3 Delays in Hazardous Materials Removal: Should there be any significant delays in arranging for the removal of hazardous materials from your premises, or if you refuse to address their removal, Greener Grants reserves the right to terminate this contract. In such cases, you are liable to compensate Greener Grants for the portion of the overall price reflecting the Goods and Services already provided by Greener Grants prior to termination.
