  1. Who we are
    1. We are E & A Stuart Restoration Limited trading as “Edward Stuart”. Our company information is at the end of this document.
  2. What this is all about – introduction to our terms and conditions
    1. These are our terms and conditions which apply when you use our services.
  3. Definitions used in this document (in capitals)
    1. “Consumer” – an individual acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside that person’s trade, business, craft or profession.
    2. “Goods – the goods which you provide to us for Repair.
    3. “Repair” – repair and/or restore as applicable.
  4. Contracting with us
    1. There are potentially two contracts between you and us.
    2. The first contract is for us to inspect the Goods and provide you with an indicative price for the Repair. Unless otherwise agreed, there is no charge for this service. We will endeavour to provide the indicative price within 30 days days of obtaining the Goods. If you do not accept the indicative price within the period we specify days, then the price lapses and we will return the Goods within a reasonable period by the means agreed.
    3. If you accept the indicative price within the above period, then there is a Repair contract for us to carry out the Repair at that indicative price. However, we reserve the right to revise the price after we have carried out a detailed examination of the Goods. If you do not accept the revised price within the period we specify, then the contract ends without any Repair obligation on our part and we will return the Goods within a reasonable period by the means agreed. Otherwise the contract continues on the basis of the revised price.
  5. Our possession of the Goods
    1. Unless otherwise agreed, we will arrange to collect the Goods from you at our expense.
  1. Unless we otherwise agree in writing: (a) we are not responsible for any loss or damage to the Goods while in our possession ; and (b) it is your responsibility to insure the Goods against all loss and damage which might arise while the Goods are in transit to or from us and while they are in our possession.
  1. Payment
    1. If you accept either the indicative price or the revised price, you agree to pay this at the time of the return of the goods, or by previous arrangement.
  • Unless otherwise stated, any applicable VAT or sales tax is included in any price provided. If any amount due to us is unpaid, or unjustifiably charged back, we are entitled to end this agreement immediately on written notice without affecting any of our other legal rights.

  2. Our Repair services generally
    1. We will supply our Repair services with reasonable care.
    2. Any timescale for completion of Repairs is an estimate only. We will use reasonable endeavours to complete the Repairs within such estimated period but do not guarantee to do so.
    3. Due to the age of the Goods, we cannot guarantee that any Repairs will be successful.
  3. Liability – restrictions on our legal responsibility (IMPORTANT)

        2. such loss or damage was not reasonably foreseeable (meaning it was not an obvious consequence of our breach or not contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into this contract);
  • such loss or damage is caused by you, for example by not complying with this agreement; or
  1. such loss or damage relates to a business (as we do not intend for goods bought by Consumers to be used for business).
  • You will be responsible to us for any reasonably foreseeable loss or damage we suffer arising from your breach of this agreement (subject of course to our obligation to mitigate any losses).
  • The following clauses apply only if you are not a Consumer:
    1. Our total aggregate liability of any kind (including for our own negligence) is limited to the price agreed for our services, if applicable.
    2. In no event (including for our own negligence) will we be liable for any:
      • economic losses (including, without limit, loss of revenues, profits, contracts, business or anticipated savings);
      • loss of goodwill or reputation;
      • special, indirect or consequential losses; or
