Use of the Service
Where we describe Service Providers as “vetted” or similar, we are promising only that we have carried out certain checks as specified on our Website at the time you make a Booking and that those checks did not reveal any cause for concern. You acknowledge that in carrying out these checks we are reliant on information supplied by third parties. We cannot guarantee that that information is accurate. Nor can we guarantee that the Service Providers are otherwise suitable for your purposes. You use Service Providers at your risk.
Supply of Services:
Your order is an offer that is only accepted when we send you an email on behalf of one of your selected Service Providers confirming your order.
You agree to treat Service Providers courteously and lawfully. You agree to provide a safe and appropriate working environment for Service Providers in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and that you will provide reasonable co-operation to Service Providers to enable them to supply Services.
You agree to communicate any complaints to us and not the Service Provider. You agree to comply with our complaint and other policies on our Website as may be varied from time to time.
You acknowledge that your nominated Service Provider may be unavailable from time to time e.g. through illness or vacation or leaving our service.
You agree that during the period of this agreement you will not book any services from, or engage, any Service Provider outside of our Website. You agree not to engage any Service Provider for 6 months after termination of this agreement.
Placement Fe : Should you at any stage make an appointment with a Service Provider outside of booking said appointment via the WiEnergi platform, you will be liable to pay a placement fee at the current rate, which shall be payable within 10 (ten) working days of his/her appointment with you. No termination of the appointment or variation of its terms will entitle you to any repayment of the placement fee. This clause will survive the termination of this agreement, and will apply for 6 (six) months after its termination.
Payment for Services / Cancellation by You:
You must maintain a valid credit card registered on our Website. You must ensure that all contact and payment information (e.g. email address, physical addresses, bank account/credit card numbers) which you provide is accurate and not misleading and that you will update it so that it remains so.
Prices include any applicable VAT unless otherwise stated.
Upon booking, The Company will reserve the estimated booking amount on your active bank account/credit card. Once the service has been completed, the full actual amount due for the booking appointment will be debited from your active bank account// credit card.
We may at any time change the prices. We will give you notice by email or our website at least one month before any price change takes effect. If you do not accept the new fee, you should cancel this agreement as explained below. Otherwise the Services supplied after the expiry of the one month’s notice will be at the new price.
You can at any time cancel any service, a Repeat Booking or this agreement as a whole via the platform or by contacting us. There is no charge if you cancel the appointment the day before the appointment start time for the Service Provider visit at 12pm (midday). If you cancel after this cut-off time of 12h00, then we will charge WiEnergi’s administrative and Service Provider's transport and/or lost earnings fees as applicable and as stated on our Website and booking confirmation email. This will happen by debit from your bank account / credit card and you authorise us to charge your card accordingly.
If there is a no-show and you notify us via our Website within 24 hours after the scheduled start time, then we will at your option provide either a full refund of any payment made for that visit or else use reasonable endeavours to re-arrange the visit. We reserve the right not to make a refund or re-arrange a visit if we are not notified within that 24 hour period.
If any amount due by you is unpaid, we may:
Charge reasonable additional administration costs; and/or
Charge interest (both before and after judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate for the time being that would be applicable if the debt were a qualifying debt under the National Credit Act of 20015, and/or
Arrange of the supply of Services to be suspended; and/or Cancel this agreement on written notice (including email).
Cancellation by us:
We may at any time without cause cancel any particular Booking or this agreement as a whole including your right to use our Website, giving notice by email to the extent reasonably practicable. If so, we will refund any amounts due to you for outstanding paid for cleaning appointments.
Following cancellation of this agreement:
Accrued rights and liabilities are unaffected. All clauses in this agreement which are stated or intended to continue after cancellation will continue to apply. You must not attempt to re-register for or continue to use our Website if we have given you notice of cancellation.
