1 How this Service Schedule works
1.1 This Service Schedule applies only to the LAN Installation & Optimisation service and deliverables identified in the Order. Work, products or outcomes not identified in the Order are outside scope.
1.2 If you are an individual buying wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession, our Consumer Terms and Conditions apply. In all other cases our Business Terms and Conditions apply.
1.3 The accepted Order, applicable main terms and this Service Schedule form one contract. Their priority is determined by the main terms. A clear project-specific provision in the Order may vary this Schedule, but nothing restricts a mandatory consumer right.
1.4 This is a one-off service unless the Order expressly describes a continuing element. There is no automatic renewal for the one-off work.
2 Service scope
2.1 The Order identifies cable category, routes, outlets, terminations, racks, switches, routers, configuration and agreed tests.
2.2 Tests demonstrate the agreed connectivity or cable condition at completion; they do not guarantee every future device, application or service outcome.
3 Charges and payment
3.1 The Order states the charges, VAT treatment, payment schedule and any deposit. Consumer prices include VAT. Business prices exclude VAT unless stated otherwise.
3.2 An estimate is a good-faith indication based on information then available; it is not a fixed quotation, cap or guarantee unless the Order expressly says so. We will seek approval before material work outside the agreed scope or spending authority.
3.3 Chargeable time includes work reasonably required to deliver the service, administration specific to the work, substantive communications, testing, third-party liaison, travel where applicable and correcting problems that we did not cause.
4 Client responsibilities and access
4.1 The client must give accurate information, safe and timely access, necessary permissions and cooperation, and identify critical systems, applications, data or constraints before work starts.
- Provide safe access, accurate plans, known-services and asbestos information, suitable power and space, and all permissions.
- Identify protected finishes and any required making-good standard before work starts.
5 Site conditions and variations
5.1 We will not knowingly disturb suspected asbestos or unsafe services. Work may stop until competent assessment or remediation is completed.
5.2 If concealed construction, blocked routes or other material conditions differ from information supplied, we will explain the issue and seek approval for a revised route, scope, price or specialist contractor.
6 Data protection and confidentiality
6.1 Each party must comply with applicable data-protection law and the privacy, confidentiality and security provisions in the applicable main terms. The client remains responsible for its lawful basis, privacy information, data accuracy, retention decisions and handling of rights requests for data it controls.
6.2 Where we process personal data on behalf of a business client, the Article 28 terms in the Business Terms apply. The subject matter is installation, testing and configuration of the client’s local area network; processing lasts for the service and the agreed or legally required retention period; its nature is receiving, storing, viewing, organising, adapting, transmitting, backing up or deleting data as needed to perform the service; its purpose is to provide and support the contracted service; the types of data may include contact details, network identifiers, device information, configuration, diagnostic readings and support logs; and the people concerned may include the client, authorised contacts and users or devices visible during diagnosis.
6.3 No special-category or highly sensitive data is expected unless expressly agreed after an appropriate assessment.
6.4 You must not provide data outside the agreed scope. You must promptly tell us about legal, regulatory, safeguarding, confidentiality or residency requirements that affect the service.
7 Consumer cancellation and mandatory rights
7.1 A consumer entering a distance or off-premises contract will normally have 14 days from contract formation to cancel, subject to the statutory exceptions. The Consumer Terms explain how to cancel and include the model cancellation form.
7.2 If you expressly request services to start during that period and later cancel, we may charge a proportionate amount for services supplied up to cancellation. The service cancellation right is lost after full performance only where the statutory request, consent and acknowledgement requirements have been met.
8 Suspension, cancellation, termination and offboarding
8.1 Suspension, termination, non-payment, material breach, insolvency and their consequences are governed by the applicable main terms and the Order. We may pause work where required information, access, approval, cooperation or cleared payment is missing.
8.2 You may ask us to stop before completion, but work properly performed and authorised third-party commitments remain payable, subject to consumer cancellation rights and mandatory remedies. Any unearned balance will be dealt with under the main terms.
9 Service standard, remedies and limits
9.1 We will perform the service with reasonable care and skill and materially in accordance with the Order and this Service Schedule. Goods and Digital Content must meet the standards that mandatory law requires.
9.2 Any stated response, completion or resolution time is a target, not a guarantee, unless the Order expressly calls it a guaranteed deadline.
9.3 Technology, design and troubleshooting involve dependencies and uncertainty. We do not guarantee a particular commercial, security, ranking, performance, recovery or compatibility outcome unless expressly stated as a guarantee in the Order.
9.4 If the service does not meet the required standard, applicable correction, repeat-performance, price-reduction, repair, replacement, refund and other remedies in the main terms and law apply. Nothing in this Schedule excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
9.5 Liability limits, insurance, complaints, dispute resolution, governing law, force majeure and other general matters are governed by the applicable main terms.
