Terms & Conditions

By accepting a quotation from ADC Group Solutions, you are agreeing to the Company's payment terms and conditions.

Quotations

1.1. All prices quoted are valid for 60 days from the date as stated on the quotation, and are exclusive of VAT at 20%.

1.2. Where you are unsure about any of the information supplied in this quotation, please contact ADC to discuss further; the Company will work with you to explain any elements you are unsure of.

1.3. ADC will provide a written quotation with sufficient detail for the completion of the works as proposed. The prices quoted will be for the completion of works as detailed in that written quotation. Any significant alteration to the proposed schedule of works (e.g. a reduction in scope, change of materials, etc.) will necessitate a new quotation to accurately reflect the cost of materials and labour for that altered schedule of works.

1.4. All prices quoted are calculated on the basis of free access and unimpeded working during our normal working hours (8am – 5pm Mon – Fri), unless otherwise agreed. Any practical arrangements (e.g. restriction of working hours or noise restrictions) must be agreed prior to acceptance of a quote. It should be noted that there may be times when we or our subcontractors will be on site outside of those hours.

1.5. ADC will agree all practical arrangements with regards to working methods with you at time of quotation in order to ensure the minimum of disruption and to allow for work to be carried out efficiently. It is your responsibility to ensure that any practical arrangements required by you are outlined at time of quotation. Any practical arrangements made following commencement may incur an additional charge or result in delays to completion.

1.5. Prices quoted do not include the removal of dangerous waste material(s) e.g. asbestos, etc.; removal of such materials may be subject to an extra charge. We will provide a separate quotation for the removal of dangerous materials. All dangerous material removal, storage, transportation and disposal is carried out in strict accordance with Environment Agency regulations.

Variations to Agreement

2.1. The costs for works will not be altered by ADCexcept where additional work is requested by you OR where ADC, or its subcontractors, discover the need for additional work that couldn't be reasonably expected to be foreseen at the time of quotation. In those circumstances, the Company will discuss changes with you and will only undertake additional work subject to your agreement.

Works

3.1. Free access is required for delivery of building materials, plant, machinery, skips etc. Access to parking and other facilities required for the provision of labour and materials must be made available where possible and said provisions and facilities must not be unreasonably denied or impeded.

3.2. A secure storage area for storing tools and materials should be made available to ADC and / or our subcontractors. ADC reserve the right to levy an additional charge if storage cannot be furnished.

3.3. Commencement of work is made with the assumption of uninterrupted work for the duration of the contract. ADC will not be held liable for costs incurred as a result of delays due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. changes to practical arrangements imposed following commencement).

3.4. It is your responsibility to arrange planning permission, building control, utility changes, and any permits related to provision and / or disposal of labour and materials (e.g. skip hire). If planning permission is required for any works, ADC may require confirmation that this has been agreed prior to commencement.

(For the purposes of sections 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7, the term ‘on-site’ means within a premises or work area that is secured from public access and where members of the public cannot be reasonably expected to have access.)

3.5. It is your responsibility to ensure that material disposal is not impeded by ensuring that material disposal containers (e.g. a skip) can be placed on-site or that the necessary permits have been arranged for placement on public highways.

3.6. ADC reserve the right to levy additional charges post-commencement if we are required to dispose of materials unrelated to works being carried out as a result of material disposal containers not being placed on-site (i.e. members of the public using skips to dispose of waste due to said skip being accessible).

3.7. ADC will not be held liable for any injury resulting from material disposal containers not being placed on-site.

Payment terms

4.1. ADC's default payment terms are: payment to be made in full within 14 calendar days following completion of works.

4.2. 30-day terms are available, but this will necessitate a deposit of up to 50% of the final contract.

4.3. For works that require significant procurement of materials prior to commencement, a proforma payment of up to 50% of the total contract may be required. This will be stated at time of quotation. Should a proforma payment be required, a proforma invoice outlining the total contract as well as the proforma payment required will be presented. This must be paid in full prior to any work commencing.

4.4. ADC will confirm in writing payment of balances made.

4.5. All parts and materials remain the property of ADC, until payment is received in full.

4.6. ADC is a security firm, not a construction one, therefore no CIS stoppages are permitted against contracted works.

Late payments

5.1. Failure to make payment on time will result in a £70 late payment charge being levied.

5.2. ADC reserves the right to charge interest at 8% + annual statutory Bank of England base rate per day for overdue invoices.
