Terms & Conditions of Repair requests

The Terms & Conditions below shall apply to all Repair requests and any subsequent contract between us for the supply of our Diagnostic & Repair Services.

Please read carefully. These Terms & Conditions will not affect any statuary Rights which you may be entitled to from time to time and which by Law cannot be varied or excluded.


General

Bookings/payments are taken for services/products supplied by either Masterfix DAR Ltd or a 'Service Partner'.

Your contract is with the company who performs the service or supplies the goods. Masterfix / EWS Service acts only as an intermediary for facilitating the service or supply of goods.

All
'Service Partners' operate to their own terms and conditions and carry public liability insurance and operate to both Masterfix’s and agreed industry standards.

All parts fitted on repairs by Masterfix or our
'Service Partners' are guaranteed for up to 6 months (dependent on the guarantee offered by the manufacturer) and should the part fail during this period no charge will be made for either the part or call out and Labour.

Masterfix / EWS Service exclude themselves from any liability for missed or rescheduling of appointments, delays due to wrong parts being sent, error in diagnosis, loss of food, loss of earnings and subsequential damage. Time is not of essence in any contract.

Payment for Labour and parts are to be made in advance and are
non-refundable if costs have been incurred.

Because of the nature of appliance repairs, and the usual urgency to perform the repair, then, if you request the repair to be carried out within 7 days, you accept that once the work has been carried out, the Right of Cancellation is waived and no refund will be issued.


Appointment Cancellations MUST be received by e-mail at cancellations@masterfix.co.uk at least 24 hours in advance of appointment date for full refund.  Otherwise a charge of £25.00 inclusive of vat may be made. If the engineer is unable to gain access for an appointment a charge of £25.00 inclusive of vat may be made.

If the machine cannot be repaired or spares are not available then NO REFUND will be given.

If the machine fails again during the guarantee period and it is found to be a different fault then a charge will be made for Labour and any parts used.


All appliances must be easily accessible and removable for the engineer to carry out the repair. Any work required to remove or refit the appliance (e.g. removal/re-fitting of plinths, panels etc.) is the Customer's responsibility.

To see our most frequently asked questions please see our
FAQ's page.

£25.00 plus VAT.

Your Responsibility

1. You will permit us to carry out an inspection and thereafter to undertake the repair according to our agreement.

Guarantees
