Product Servicing Terms & Conditions
Booking an In Guarantee Service or Out of Guarantee Repair
Your agreement to book a product service visit with Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation is an offer to purchase product servicing from us and is subject to the following terms and conditions and accordingly a contract is formed at such time.
At the time of booking you must confirm that you are authorised to request a repair to the product and will fully accept liability for any charges incurred if the visit is not covered by the terms and conditions of our guarantee or authorised to make payment for any chargeable services.
We cannot accept requests for product service visits where you have not accepted liability for any possible charges.
You must also confirm that the product can be isolated from any supplies, that the service engineer can park legally at the location (if a permit is required this must be made available to the engineer upon his arrival) and that you are over 18 and will be present at the time of the visit (if you will not be present during the service visit you confirm that your representative is over 18)
You may cancel the contract within ten (10) working days from the date the contract is formed providing that our service engineer has not already attended at the time of cancellation by notifying us by telephone on +353 1 842 4833 or by email to gdhv.customersupport@glendimplex.com quoting your reference or case number.
All appointments will be scheduled to commence during normal working hours. Where an appointment has not been agreed in advance, the service engineer or service partner will aim to contact you within 3 working days to undertake the visit. Where required parts are unavailable, this time will extend, and you should have been advised of this when the booking is agreed.
We will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that an engineer will attend on the agreed date. However, occasionally, due to circumstances out of our control, we may be unable to attend as planned. If we are unable to attend on the agreed date, we will contact you as soon as is reasonably practicable to agree an alternative date.
Please Note No guarantees are given regarding response times.
If you are unable to allow our engineer access on the agreed date you must contact us as soon as is reasonably practicable (and in any such event before 12pm of the day preceding the agreed date) to arrange an alternative date. If you do not inform us or inform us after this time, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation charge of £82.50 + VAT (£99 including VAT).
If we have to cancel the visit before we enter the property due to the lack of legal parking, no one at home or the person in attendance is under the age of 18 years old we reserve the right to charge a cancellation charge of £82.50 + VAT (£99 including VAT).
We reserve the right to cancel any appointment if we reasonably believe that the health and safety of our engineer cannot be guaranteed. Our engineers are entitled to work in a smoke free environment; please ensure that the engineer is not exposed to active smoking whilst they are within the property.
We also reseve the right to apply a charge of £20 + VAT for postcodes within the London Congestion Zone.
Please ensure any pets are kept away from the area where the engineer needs to work.
