Part 2 – Customer pre-installation obligations

a) The following duties must be carried out by the Customer before installation starts to enable the Company successfully to install the System. The Customer must: –

(i) Obtain and pay for all necessary consents and licences for the installation of the System (such as landlord’s consent);

(ii) Give the Company free access to the premises on the date and time agreed to install the System, and arrange for easy access to all working areas and surfaces for the Company engineers to carry out the necessary work to install the System;

(iii) Supply adjacent to the proposed intruder alarm control unit a non-switched fuse 240v spur outlet, if this is not in place prior to the installation a temporary connection via a plug top, unless specified in the Quotation;

(iv) Advise the Company of the existence of concealed water, gas, electricity, telephone or other services (if any known about) and point out to the installation engineer their location before work commences.

 (v) Be responsible for the lifting of any floorboards or floor coverings other than carpets. Note that the Company cannot be held responsible for any damage as a result of lifting and re-fitting carpets. Also be responsible for any proposed flush fitting of units and making good thereafter.

The Company will use reasonable skill and care in identifying any concealed services not so pointed out. The Company will only be liable for damage to these services or for resulting damage to the extent that it does not take such reasonable care;

b) If the Customer wishes the Company to use any existing equipment as part of the System, it will be assumed to be in full working order. Where the Company on installation discovers this is not the case, any work required to bring such equipment up to an acceptable standard will be charged for on a time and material basis.

c) Where damage could be caused which may not be immediately apparent to our operatives, the Company cannot be held liable where it has not been notified of such a possibility.

Part 3 – Supply of System

a) The Company will install the System at the premises or site specified in the Quotation on the anticipated delivery date quoted by the Company provided that the Company has by that date received payment of 50% of the Installation Charge as referred to in Part 7a. Any provisional fitting date will be held for 5 working days only pending receipt of the above and the signed contract.

b) The Company will use reasonable endeavours to install the System neatly and to conceal cables wherever possible, but where this is impractical the cables will be surface run.

c) The System will be installed in accordance with the recommendations contained in the British Standard Institute’s specification for intruder alarms on buildings current from time to time on the date on which installation starts. Any change made in the Standard for intruder alarms will not be deemed to be retrospective to existing installations.

(There will be an additional charge if further instructions are required.) This demonstration, the operating instructions, keys or code number will be supplied to the Customer on payment of the balance of the Installation Charge as set out in Part 7a.

e) Where a deduction from cost has been made by All Set Security Ltd for installation of first fix wiring by a third party, All Set Security personnel can only check the position of such wiring against their original specification. We cannot check or be held responsible for the integrity of the wiring as inevitably the wire runs are concealed behind plaster, under floors etc. Please be informed that All Set Security will only become aware of any problems with the integrity of the wiring when our fitter attempts to power up and commission the system.
