Terms & Conditions
Provision of services: These terms and conditions (“Conditions”) may only be varied with the written agreement of Terrain Surveys Limited (“TSL”) and shall apply to all contracts for the supply of services by TSL to a customer employing such services from time to time (“You”,“Your”) to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions including any terms and conditions which You may purport to apply under any document whatsoever.
These Conditions apply to every order or instruction received from You (or someone TSL may reasonable believe has authority to bind You) whether such order is express or implied, written or oral and the contract between TSL and You will be deemed to commence at such time as an order or instruction is received. TSL is under no obligation to allow Your employees to witness the services being carried out.
Invoicing and Payment Terms: The price (“Price”, “in writing”) shall be the amount quoted to You by TSL to provide services and in the event of dispute the Price shall be determined by reference to TSL’s standard price tariff which is available upon request. Payment of the Price shall be made within 30 days of receipt of a valid VAT invoice. Payment shall be made in £ sterling and cheques, drafts or other payment instructions should be drawn on a bank trading in the UK. All sums due from You to TSL which are not paid on the due date (without prejudice to the rights of TSL under these Conditions) shall bear compounded interest at the rate of 4% over the daily base rate of Barclays Bank plc.
You agree to pay any additional costs or expenses incurred by TSL due to difficulty by TSL or its agents or employees in gaining access to Your site or in carrying out services. This difficulty may be caused by a failure on your part (in the reasonable opinion of TSL) to provide satisfactory information or assistance (which would required by TSL to carry out services adequately).
Liability: Except in the case of personal injury (including death) caused by the negligent or willful act or omission of TSL, TSL excludes liability to You howsoever arising from the performance or purported performance of the services or any term under these Conditions. In the event of any breach or breaches by TSL, TSL shall not be liable to You in respect of loss of profit, business, revenue, goodwill, anticipated savings, indirect or consequential loss or damage.
Copyrights: Any copyright arising from the performance of the services (including the production of plans) shall be owned exclusively by TSL. TSL shall grant You a royalty free UK license to use such copyrights. TSL reserves all of its legal rights in the copyrights.
Termination: TSL can cancel or terminate this contract at any time, for any reason by giving written (including email, fax, SMS) or oral notice (including answer phone, voicemail messages), which shall be effective immediately. You cancel or terminate with the written consent of TSL but will at all times remain liable for 40% the Price.
Assignment and sub-contracting: You shall not assign the benefit or burden of these Conditions or any part of them. TSL may transfer, assign or subcontract all or any rights and obligations under these Conditions. TSL shall be free to subcontract or otherwise deal with the whole or any part of the Services.
Insurance: TSL shall hold or effect policies in respect of public liability insurance in a sum not less than one million pounds, and in respect of employers liability insurance for a sum not less than ten million pounds and in respect of professional indemnity insurance in a sum not less than one million pounds.
Accuracy: No liability for accuracy shall extend beyond the specified scale of graphical mapping, digitalized data or other accuracy specified and agreed between You and TSL for the services.
General: TSL will not be held responsible for failure or delay in carrying out the services due in whole or in part to any circumstances whatsoever beyond its reasonable control. No delay by TSL in enforcing any right in respect of any breach of these Conditions by You shall constitute a waiver of such right.
If any term of these Conditions is unenforceable, such unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of the terms in these Conditions. These Conditions constitute the entire agreement between both parties. You acknowledge that You have not relied on any oral or written representations or statements not contained in these Conditions. These Conditions are subject to English law and to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
