  2. BASIS OF CONTRACT

    1. These Conditions apply to the Installation Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

    2. If you, the Customer, are purchasing the Installation Services for, or on behalf of, a third party, you must ensure (and are solely responsible for procuring) that such third party agrees, mutatis mutandis, to all (or the provisions you, as the Party that Watergate expressly contracts with, deem relevant from) these Conditions.

Insofar as Watergate is contractually required to contribute to the development of the design of any element of the contract works, Watergate’s responsibility for such design is confined to their design work as described in the Installation Order. Watergate does not accept responsibility for any element of the design work undertaken by third parties (other than Watergate’s servants, agents, and contractors) nor for considering or reviewing such design work for the purpose of establishing its adequacy or identifying any deficiencies in the design.

    1. The entire scope of Installation Services (including any customer and site requirements), together with the Installation Date and the Site Location, are described in the Installation Order.

    2. Watergate reserves the right to amend the scope of the Installation Services whether before or after the acceptance of any Installation Order if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

    3. Watergate reserves the right to amend or cancel an Installation Order if the Site Location is not a Safe Site.

  4. INSTALLATION TIMING AND TRANSPORT OF INSTALLATION GOODS

    1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties, the time for commencing and completing any Installation Order shall not be of the essence. Watergate shall not be liable to the Customer for any loss of trade or profit if Watergate, despite using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, is directly or indirectly prevented or hindered from fulfilling any Installation Order within a reasonable time, or at all, for reasons beyond its control.

    2. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Watergate and the Customer, the Installation Order shall specify the location where the Customer shall make the Installation Goods available to Watergate prior to the Installation Date (“Pending Installation Location“). This may be:

      2. Watergate’s premises set out at watergate.ai

      3. another location agreed upon in writing.

    3. The risk of loss or damage to the Installation Goods remains with the Customer while at the Pending Installation Location. The Customer is responsible for maintaining adequate insurance coverage for the Installation Goods during this period.

    4. If Watergate is responsible for transporting the Customer’s Installation Goods from the Pending Installation Location to the Site Location (or any other agreed location), Watergate shall take reasonable care during transportation. However, the Customer remains responsible for insuring the Installation Goods against loss or damage during transit.

    5. In any event, Watergate’s liability for any loss or damage to the Installation Goods during transportation shall be limited to the amount recoverable under Watergate’s insurance policy, or if lower, the amount of the direct loss or damage suffered by the Customer.

  5. INSTALLATION QUALITY

    1. Watergate warrants that, upon completion of the Installation Services set out in the Installation Order (or the Standard Installation), the services will have been performed to a professional standard and will comply with any legal or other specification agreed with the Customer.

    2. Subject to clause 5.3, if:

      1. the Customer notifies Watergate in writing (via email to support@watergate.ai) within a reasonable time of discovery and in any event three (3) months of such discovery that some or all of the Installation Services do not comply with the warranty in clause 5.1; and

      2. Watergate is given a reasonable opportunity to examine the Site Location (or relevant location), either physically on-site or remotely via a video call facilitated by the Customer (and by following Watergate’s reasonable instructions to help troubleshoot, including connecting the relevant device to the internet and registering it via the free app),

      then Watergate shall, at its option, either return promptly to the Site Location (or relevant location) to remedy the non-compliance or refund the price paid for the relevant non-compliant portion of the Installation Service.

    3. Watergate shall not be liable for the Installation Service’s failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1 in any of the following events:

      1. the Customer makes any further use of the Installation Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 5.2;

      2. the installation defect arises because the Customer failed to follow Watergate’s oral or written instructions surrounding the installation or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same;

      3. the Customer alters the Installation Services provided without the written consent of Watergate; or

      4. the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, damage by third parties, or abnormal storage or working conditions.

      5. Except as provided in this clause 5, Watergate shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of the failure of the Installation Services to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1.

      6. All warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      7. These Conditions shall apply to any replacement Installation Services supplied by Watergate.

      8. Unless the Customer notifies Watergate that it intends to make a claim in respect of an event for which Watergate has liability under these Conditions within the notice period referred to in clause 5.2.1 above, Watergate shall have no liability for that event. 

  6. TITLE AND RISK

    1. Watergate’s responsibility for the Installation Services, except as provided in clause 5, ends upon completion of the installation and:

      1. if commissioning has taken place and/or the installation can be tested, then upon successful completion of Watergate’s testing; or

      2. if no commissioning and/or testing is required, upon the Customer’s written acceptance.

    2. Watergate shall retain a lien on the installed system until Watergate has received payment in full for the Installation Services, including any interest (per clause 8) due under these Conditions.

    3. Watergate shall be entitled to claim payment for any Installation Services rendered, regardless of whether the services have been fully completed or formally accepted by the Customer, provided that such claim is made in accordance with the payment terms set out in these Conditions.

  7. STANDARD INSTALLATION

    Not used in these Conditions.

  8. PRICE AND PAYMENT

    1. The price of the Installation Services shall be the price set out in the Installation Order. If no price is quoted, the applicable prices are set out in the relevant price list on Watergate’s website in force as at the Installation Date. 

    2. Watergate may, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before the Installation Date, increase the price of the Installation Services to reflect any increase in the cost of the Installation Services that is due to:

      1. any request by the Customer to change the Installation Date, Site Location or scope of Installation Services; or

      2. any delay, additional parts or services required due to the Customer’s instructions, failure to provide adequate or accurate information, or where the installation requires connection or interaction with other parts of the Site Location (including internet connectivity, electrical systems, plumbing systems) that, despite being substantially as described, present a more challenging or complex installation than initially envisaged, provided Watergate has acted reasonably at all times.

    3. If, during the performance of the Installation Services, additional work or parts become necessary, the following shall apply:

      1. Necessary Work Identified by Watergate: Subject to clause 8.3.4, if Watergate determines that additional work or parts are reasonably necessary to complete the installation to a professional standard, Watergate shall promptly inform the Customer of the nature, estimated cost, and impact on the completion timeline. The Customer may then approve or decline the additional work in writing;

      2. Additional Work Requested by Customer: If the Customer requests additional work or parts beyond the scope of the original Installation Order, Watergate may agree to perform such work, subject to written agreement on the nature, scope, and estimated cost;

      3. On-Site Agreement: In situations where immediate action is required, and it is not practical to obtain written agreement in advance, an on-site Watergate representative and the Customer may mutually agree verbally to the additional work or parts. This agreement shall be confirmed in writing (including by email) as soon as practicable and shall serve as authorisation for Watergate to invoice for the agreed-upon amount; and

      4. Without prior notice: Watergate shall be entitled to incur up to the higher of £50 or 5% of the Installation Order value (the “Threshold Amount“) in minor additional costs without prior notice, provided they are reasonably necessary and it would be uneconomical to delay. These costs may include Ancillary Materials and Disbursements not already included in the original estimate. Watergate may invoice for such costs in due course together with a description of the work or parts and the associated costs.

    4. The estimated costs associated with Preliminaries, Disbursements, and Ancillary Materials are provided to the Customer including as part of the quotation for Installation Services. Upon completion of the Installation Order (and any additional works described above), Watergate shall notify the Customer of the final costs for Preliminaries, Disbursements, and any Ancillary Materials. Following such notification, Watergate shall invoice the Customer for any outstanding balance.

    5. The price of the Installation Services excludes amounts in respect of value added tax (“VAT”), which the Customer shall additionally be liable to pay to Watergate at the prevailing rate, subject to the receipt of a valid VAT invoice.

    6. Watergate may invoice the Customer for the Installation Services on or at any time after the formation of the Installation Contract.

    7. Unless alternative payment terms are agreed in writing between the Parties, the Customer shall pay the invoice on the date of the invoice in full and in cleared funds and in any case before the Installation Services are provided. The due date for payment of any invoice including for the purposes of the calculation of any interest due from the Customer shall be the date of the Watergate’s invoice. Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated in writing by Watergate. Time for payment is of the essence.

    8. If the Customer fails to make any payment due to Watergate under the Installation Contract by the due date for payment, then the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount to be, at Watergate’s option, either:

      1. the rate of 8% per annum over Barclays Bank PLC base rate from time to time; or

      2. the rate (plus other permitted charges) applicable under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, as amended from time to time, and

      such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after any judgement. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

    9. The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Installation Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law). Watergate may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amount owing to it by the Customer against any amount payable by Watergate to the Customer.

  9. TERMINATION

    1. Without limiting its other rights or remedies, Watergate may terminate the Installation Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the Customer if:

      1. the Customer commits a material breach of any term of the Installation Contract and (if such a breach is remediable) fails to remedy that breach within fourteen days of that party being notified in writing to do so;

      2. the Customer takes any step or action in connection with its entering administration, bankruptcy, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with its creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of its assets or ceasing to carry on business;

      3. the Customer suspends, threatens to suspend, ceases or threatens to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of its business;

      4. the Customer’s financial position deteriorates to such an extent that in Watergate’s opinion the Customer’s capability to adequately fulfil its obligations under the Installation Contract has been placed in jeopardy;

      5. the Customer refuses a site survey (which may be chargeable), or after a site visit Watergate in its sole discretion determines that it would be unsuitable or beyond its capabilities or capacity to provide the relevant Installation Services; or

      6. by providing to the Customer any services, it would put Watergate in breach of any applicable law, for example trade sanctions.

    2. Without limiting its other rights or remedies, Watergate may suspend provision of the Installation Services under the Installation Contract or any other contract between the Customer and Watergate if the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 9.1.1 to clause 9.1.6, or Watergate reasonably believes that the Customer is about to become subject to any of them.

    3. Without limiting its other rights or remedies, Watergate may terminate the Installation Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the Customer if the Customer fails to pay any amount due under the Installation Contract on the due date for payment.

    4. On termination of the Installation Contract for any reason, the Customer shall immediately pay to Watergate all of Watergate’s outstanding unpaid invoices and interest.

    5. Termination of the Installation Contract shall not affect any of the Parties’ rights and remedies that have accrued as at termination, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Installation Contract that existed at or before the date of termination.

    6. Any provision of the Installation Contract that expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination shall remain in full force and effect.

      1. death or personal injury caused by its negligence, or the negligence of its employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);

      2. any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for Watergate to exclude or restrict liability.

  12. GENERAL

    1. Failure to deliver Installation Services. If Watergate fails to deliver the Installation Services, its total liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement installation service of similar description and quality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Watergate shall have no liability for any failure to supply the Installation Services to the extent that such failure is caused by an event or circumstance beyond its reasonable control or the Customer’s failure to provide Watergate with adequate Site Location instructions, a Safe Site or any other instructions or facilities (for example, power or lighting) that are relevant to the supply of the Installation Services.

    5. Waiver. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Installation Contract or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
