3.6 Where you terminate this agreement before the end of the Minimum Period and you do not have any right to terminate early, you shall pay us compensation for not complying with your agreement with us. You agree that this compensation will be calculated as follows:
(a) Where you terminate during the Minimum Period: 100% of the aggregate charges due until the end of the Minimum Period.
(b) Where you terminate at any time after the end of the Minimum Period: 100% of the aggregate charges you would have paid us until the time when you would have been entitled to terminate this agreement.1
3.7 Where we terminate this agreement because you have not complied with your obligations or because you have not paid us for the Services we have provided to you we shall be entitled to invoice you for compensation in respect of the date from which we terminate this agreement to the date upon which you could have terminated this agreement by giving notice. This compensation shall be calculated on the same basis as is set out in paragraph 3.6.
3.8 If this agreement is for a Job and you terminate it before that Job has been completed you will pay us upon our written request 100% of the charges for the work completed at the date the agreement is terminated plus any other irrecoverable costs we have incurred in relation to the Job e.g. hire costs for access equipment. However in no circumstances shall you be liable to pay us any more than the charges you would have paid had you not terminated this agreement.
4. STATUTORY RIGHTS TO CANCEL
(This paragraph 4 only applies if you are a consumer and you have entered into a distance or off-premises contract).
4.1 If this paragraph applies to you, then under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 you have a legal right to cancel this agreement at any time within 14 days (the “Cooling off Period”) beginning on the day after you signed these terms and conditions in our presence, in your home or entered into a distance contract with us over the phone, via email or over the internet. Unless you give us permission in writing we will not begin to provide you with Services until this Cooling off Period has expired.
4.2 If you requested us to begin the performance of the Services during the Cooling off Period, you still have the right to ask us to stop providing the Services at any time during that period but you will be liable to pay us for the Services we have provided up to the date on which you cancel. You do not have the right to cancel once the Cooling off Period has ended although you can terminate this agreement as set out in paragraph 3.2, 3.3 and / or 3.5.
4.3 To cancel you may complete the cancellation form at the end of this agreement and email it to service@pestsolutions.co.uk or send it to the address set out in paragraph 2.
5. PAYMENTS
The total charges (which includes VAT) for the Services is set out in the service agreement. However we may also claim additional charges from you for the reasons set out in paragraphs 1.3(d) and (e). You also agree that we shall be entitled to increase the charges on 28 days prior written notice to you:
(a) at any time after the end of the first year provided we do not increase the charges more than once in any year under this paragraph 5.1(a); and
(b) where our operating costs have increased due to reasons outside our control such as:
(i) increases to the cost of fuel, utility services, the cost of necessary capital equipment or any other materials we use to provide the Services;
(ii) any change to or the introduction of any tax or levy imposed on us by any government agency or other similar group (but not any tax on our profits);
(iii) any statutory increase to our labour costs, for example a statutory increase to our employees entitlement to paid leave; and
(iv) the addition of, or any increase to, the costs or charges of any other person we have to pay in connection with the Service.
5.1 If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we provide the Services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Services in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
5.2 Our charges are based on the Services we agree to provide to you and also take into account our initial set up costs, the cost of materials and equipment, the support and training we provide to our technicians and our administration costs. This means that where we agree with you to reduce the Services or to cancel a particular Service we provide to you, the reduction to our charges may not be pro rata to the reduction in or cancellation of our Services.
5.3 Where we have failed to provide the Services at the frequency set out in the service agreement and provided you have complied with your obligations under this agreement, including, in particular your obligations under paragraph 1.3, you may be entitled to a credit calculated on a pro rata basis after appropriate deductions in respect of set up costs, materials and equipment costs, service support and administration costs and also taking into account the number of non-routine visits such as call out and follow up visits we have made to your premises.
5.4 Payment terms are quarterly in advance in respect of Periodic Services with the first payment being due as soon as you place the order. We will invoice you on or before the end of each quarter for the payment due for the next quarter and you must pay your invoice by the due date shown on the invoice. Any change to payment frequency or timing must be agreed with us in writing. Where we perform a Job, we shall invoice you on completion and you shall pay us before the due date shown on the invoice. If credit terms have been agreed with the client issued invoices shall be paid by you within 30 days of the issue date of the invoice.
5.5 The standard method of payment is by direct debit. If the Services are being provided in connection with a business, we reserve the right to charge an administration fee of 10% of the invoice amount per payment if you do not pay your invoices by direct debit.
5.6 If a client direct debit payment fails we reserve the right to charge an administration fee of £20 per failed payment.
5.7 If you are late in making any payment to us we may write to you giving you a further 7 days to pay and informing you that if you do not pay you risk termination or suspension of the Services at our discretion. If you do not pay what you owe before that 7 days runs out then we shall be entitled to terminate this agreement or suspend the Services without being obliged to write to you again. Where we decide to suspend the Services we shall not be obliged to recommence them until you have paid in full what you owe us.
5.8 Where despite any reminder we may have given you, you still do not pay what you owe us and we have to engage the services of a debt collection agency or solicitors to recover the debt, we shall be entitled to charge you an administration fee of £40 which will be additional to any legal fees for which you become liable.
5.9 If payment of any invoice is not made by the due date we shall also be entitled to recover from you interest on the overdue amount at a rate which is 4 percent higher than the Bank of England base rate applicable from time to time. Interest will be calculated on a daily basis from the due date for payment until payment is made whether before or after any court judgment.

Items which replace Rental Equipment shall, upon replacement, be subject to these terms and conditions.
7. OWNERSHIP AND RISK IN GOODS SOLD
