An order placed by you shall constitute an offer to purchase our services in accordance with these terms and conditions. Any order shall only be deemed accepted when we issue written acceptance of the order at which point the Contract shall come into existence.
The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of Fleetshield which is not set out in the contract. These terms and conditions apply to the contract to the exclusion of any other terms that you may seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course dealing.
The quoted prices and costs are based on the work being carried out in our fully equipped, purpose built, workshop; any work carried out on site will be subject to our standard mileage charge to and from the relevant premises. Any overnight accommodation that may be required will be charged at cost.
Invoices are raised and payment is due and payable on completion of the vehicle, and before the vehicle can be removed from our site; unless you have a credit account with us in which case your normal payment terms apply.
Orders received from credit accounts will only be processed providing balances are not overdue for payment. Overdue accounts will immediately go on stop whilst our debt collection process is in place to collect outstanding balances.
Without limiting any other right or remedy of Fleetshield, if you fail to make any payment due under the Contract by the due date for payment, we shall have the right to charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of [4] per cent per annum above the then current National Westminster Bank Plc's base rate accruing on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgement, and compounding quarterly.
You shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and you shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against Fleetshield in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.
All vehicles will receive a full internal and external check on arrival at our premises and the relevant documentation completed - the driver will be asked to sign and confirm this sheet. This process will be repeated on completion before the vehicle is removed from the site, and will include a check of the work we have carried out.
Vehicle deliveries will not be accepted before the confirmed date by our office, any vehicles delivered before this date may not be accepted, or could be liable to a daily storage rate (available on request). Because of our 'just in time' policy any vehicles delivered after the agreed date may require re-scheduling and incur a daily storage fee rate.
N.B. - for on-site work we will contact you 48 hours before commencement of the work for your confirmation that the quoted number of vehicles are on site and ready for fitment, should we turn up and discover that the required number of vehicles are not available you will be invoiced for our out-of-pocket expenses, plus a cancellation charge
We shall have the right to make any changes to the services which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or safety requirement, or which do not materially affect the nature or quality of the services, and we shall notify you in any such event.
Once the vehicle is completed we are prepared to cover storage and insurance costs for up to five days, once this period has lapsed each vehicle is liable for our daily storage fee rate.
Any problems with specification or equipment shortages must be reported within seven days of the collection, or delivery, of the vehicle, and we will endeavour to rectify the issue within 48 hours of being notified.

We shall under no circumstances whatever be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with the Contract. Our total liability to you in respect of all other losses arising under or in connection with the Contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall in no circumstances exceed the Contract sum.
