13.1
Sometimes, there might be things that We can’t control that may mean We’re delayed in, or prevented from, Attending your booking. These might include things such as accidents, breakdowns, fire, flood, storm, acts of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage or the default of Our suppliers. We will try to put things right as soon as We can but as You’d expect, We can’t be responsible where this causes a delay or failure in Attending Your Booking. However, We will try to give You as much notice as possible.
13.2
The Contract sets out everything we’ve agreed about Attending a Booking (and anything else mentioned in the Contract) and supersedes any previous agreement we might have discussed or entered in relation to the Contract. Because the Contract contains everything we’ve both agreed, neither of us relies on any other statement, representation, warranty or understanding made during the discussions leading up to the Booking. As You’d expect, this won’t apply if either of us has been fraudulent.
13.3
If either of us decides not to enforce our rights (or we delay in doing so), that won’t stop us from enforcing those rights at a later stage.

This Contract is just between the two of us. Accordingly, nobody else has any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce the terms of this Contract.

Parts are guaranteed for six months only when the appliance has been used for domestic use. This does not apply to our commercial bookings.
