You will need to complete the Pre-Installation Checks by no later than 3 days after you have completed the booking stages referred to above. You agree that any information that you submit to us for the purposes of our assessment and your eligibility to purchase our services, is true, accurate and complete.

3.2.5 for you to prepare your property in the manner we tell you during order process.

3.3 Custom installation. Even if you meet the eligibility criteria set out in paragraph 3 above, following our assessment we may determine that you require a custom installation due to the complexity of your installation.  Where we determine that you require a custom installation we will inform of you this, together with the charge payable for the custom installation services, as part of the order process.  The charge for the custom installation services will be payable by you as set out in paragraph 8 below.  

3.4 Correcting input errors. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us.

3.7 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the services. This might be because you do not meet the eligibility requirements we explained to you during the order process or from our assessment of your completed Pre-Installation Checks, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because you do not provide us with the information we require within the timescales we requested, because we are unable to perform the services on the date you have specified or because it would be unsafe for us to perform the services at your premises.

4 WHEN WE WILL PROVIDE THE SERVICES

We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the services to deal with technical problems, make minor technical changes or changing the services to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements (unless the problem is urgent or an emergency).
