At the time of booking, the Customer will be asked to provide accurate details, including full name, service address, contact information, description of the areas and items to be cleaned, preferred dates and times, and any relevant access or parking information.

All bookings are subject to availability. The Company will confirm the booking by issuing a booking confirmation, which may be provided electronically. The Agreement is formed when the Customer receives the booking confirmation.

The Customer is responsible for checking the booking confirmation and notifying the Company promptly of any inaccuracies or changes required. If the Customer does not raise any issues prior to the service date, the booking confirmation will be deemed accurate.

4. Pricing and Quotations

Prices are generally provided based on the information supplied by the Customer at the time of enquiry. Quotations may be given as fixed prices, per room prices, per item prices, or hourly rates, depending on the nature of the work.

All quotations are given in good faith but are based on the details provided by the Customer. If, on arrival at the Premises, the Technician finds that the information provided was incomplete or inaccurate, the Company reserves the right to adjust the price accordingly or decline the work.

Unless otherwise stated, all prices are exclusive of any applicable taxes or charges imposed by law. Any such taxes will be added to the quoted price where required.

Any special offers or discounts are offered at the Companys discretion, may be subject to specific conditions, and may be withdrawn or amended at any time without notice, save that such changes will not affect confirmed bookings already made on the basis of those offers.

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking. The Company may require payment in full on completion of the Services, or partial or full prepayment prior to the service date, depending on the nature and value of the work.

Accepted payment methods will be specified by the Company and may include cashless options. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that payment is made in accordance with the agreed terms.

For commercial Customers, invoicing arrangements may be agreed in writing. Payment must be made within the period stated on the invoice. If no period is stated, payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date.

In the event of late payment, the Company reserves the right to charge interest on the outstanding amount at the statutory rate, as well as reasonable administration costs incurred in recovering the debt.

The Customer must ensure that electricity and running water are available at the Premises during the service, unless otherwise agreed in advance.

7. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Access

The Customer may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving the Company reasonable notice. The minimum notice period will be confirmed at the time of booking. Where possible, the Company will endeavour to accommodate requested changes.

If the Customer cancels or reschedules within the minimum notice period, the Company reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee, which may be up to a specified percentage of the quoted price, to cover allocated time and administrative costs.

If the Technician attends the Premises at the agreed time and is unable to gain access, or the job cannot be carried out due to circumstances within the Customers control, the Company may charge a call-out fee or the full service charge, as appropriate.

The Company reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a booking due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, illness, equipment failure, or transport disruption. In such cases, the Company will notify the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable and offer an alternative appointment. The Company will not be liable for any indirect loss resulting from such cancellation or rescheduling.

8. Service Standards and Limitations

The Company endeavours to carry out all Services with reasonable care and skill in accordance with industry standards for professional carpet and upholstery cleaning.

While the Company aims to achieve the best possible results, it cannot guarantee the removal of all stains, odours, or marks, particularly where they are old, set-in, caused by certain substances, or where previous attempts at cleaning have been made using unsuitable products or methods.

Certain materials, fabrics, or fibres may be subject to wear, fading, shrinkage, or colour loss, which may be revealed or accentuated by cleaning. The Company will take reasonable care to assess the suitability of cleaning methods but cannot be held responsible for inherent defects, wear and tear, or poor manufacturing quality.

Drying times may vary depending on ventilation, temperature, humidity, and the nature of the materials being cleaned. The Company may provide estimated drying times, but these are approximate only and not guaranteed.

9. Damage, Liability, and Insurance

The Company maintains appropriate insurance for the Services it provides, in accordance with applicable legal requirements and industry practice.

The Company will take reasonable care to avoid damage to the Premises and Customers belongings while carrying out the Services. If damage is caused by the negligence of the Company or its Technicians, the Customer must notify the Company as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within 48 hours of the completion of the Services.

The Customers failure to report damage within the specified timeframe may affect the Companys ability to investigate the matter and process any claim.

Where damage is proven to have been caused by the Company, the Company may, at its discretion, arrange repair or replacement, or offer fair compensation, taking into account the age and condition of the item before the damage occurred.

The Company will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of business, loss of use, or loss of opportunity, arising out of or in connection with the Services.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or limit the Companys liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

10. Waste Handling and Environmental Compliance

The Company complies with applicable waste management and environmental regulations in connection with the collection, handling, and disposal of waste and residues generated by the Services.

Any waste produced during cleaning, including extracted dirt, used solutions, and disposable materials, will be managed in accordance with relevant legal requirements and good environmental practice.

Unless otherwise agreed, the Company does not remove large quantities of customer waste, furniture, or bulky items from the Premises. The Customer remains responsible for disposing of such items in accordance with local regulations.

The Customer agrees not to request or permit the Technician to dispose of hazardous or prohibited materials in breach of applicable laws or local authority requirements.

Where water extraction and disposal are required, the Company will use lawful and safe methods that minimise environmental impact and comply with any applicable sewerage or drainage rules.

11. Complaints and Service Issues

If the Customer is dissatisfied with any aspect of the Services, they should raise the issue with the Company as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours of completion of the work.

The Customer should provide details of the concern, including photographs where appropriate, so that the Company can investigate. The Company may, at its discretion, arrange a revisit to the Premises to inspect the issue and, where reasonable, attempt to rectify it.

Any rectification or goodwill gestures will be agreed on a case-by-case basis and shall not be construed as an admission of liability unless expressly stated.

12. Privacy and Data Protection

The Company will collect and process personal data from the Customer only to the extent necessary to manage bookings, provide Services, process payments, and communicate with the Customer.

The Company will take reasonable measures to protect the Customers personal data and will not sell or share such data with third parties except where required for the performance of the Services, for payment processing, or where required by law.

By providing their personal information and booking a service, the Customer consents to the use of their data for these purposes.

13. Amendments to Terms and Conditions

The Company may update or amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, industry practice, or the Companys operations.

Any such amendments will take effect when published by the Company and will apply to new bookings from that date. Existing bookings will be governed by the Terms and Conditions in force at the time of booking, unless otherwise agreed with the Customer.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or the Services provided by the Company.

15. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found by a court or other competent authority to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
