3. MAKING A BOOKING
You can book a service online or over the phone if you are an existing customer. From you, we need your name, address and contact details and we ask for a brief description of the anticipated job with a photo if possible. We aim to make the online booking available 24/7 but may need to take it offline from time to time for maintenance.
3. JOB CLOSURE
CanCan will notify you when it is proposed to close the job and the completion payment is taken three working days later.
4. HOW WE CHARGE
We charge based on hourly rates. There is a minimum one hour charge. Anytime after first hour is charged in 15 minute increments (to the nearest 15 minutes). Payment for the first hour is taken upfront. We can buy materials on your behalf if requested - these are charged to you at cost, but the time taken to purchase them can be charged.
5. PAYMENT METHOD
Payment is via card. You consent to allow us to save your payment method for future use. We do not store your card details; this is done securely by our payment processor. You agree that we can initiate a payment - this will be for completed work based on the charging structure outlined above. You cannot pay the sub-contractor and the sub-contractor is unable to take payment from you. Any CanCan vouchers are redeemable up to one year after receipt.
6. AMENDING YOUR BOOKING
You can amend your booking once at no cost.
7. CANCELLING YOUR BOOKING
You can cancel your booking anytime up to midnight the day before and receive a full refund. After that, where you have agreed that we may begin to provide services straight away, you receive a partial refund (50%) in the form of a CanCan voucher. You can cancel through your account or by using the form available here : cancellationform.html. Once the booking time starts, you receive no refund.
8. HOW TO GET IN TOUCH IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
If something is wrong, or you wish to complain, please email us at contactus@cancan.uk. We will acknowledge receipt and endeavour to address a complaint as soon as reasonably possible.
8. YOUR DATA AND YOUR RIGHTS
8.1 We will treat all data in accordance with the UK’s Data Protection Act. Our Privacy Notice can be found via the Platform.
8.2 If you are a consumer (where you are using the Platform for purposes outside your trade, craft or profession) you have legal rights in relation to products and services, as summarised below. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.citizensadvice.org.uk.
Summary of your key legal rights
If we provide goods, for example where we supply you with parts when carrying out works, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:
- Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get a refund.
- Up to six months: if your goods cannot be repaired or replaced, then you are entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
- Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.
For services, such as works we carry out, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:
- You can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it is not carried out with reasonable care and skill or get some money back if we cannot fix it.
- If a time (and therefore a price) has not been agreed upfront, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.
We request that any concerns about our service be raised with us within three working days of job closure.
9. WHEN WE MIGHT SUSPEND OR END THE SUPPLY OF GOODS OR SERVICES
9.1 We may suspend goods or services to deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes, to address changes in the works required or changes in the information you provide to us, to account for delays in receiving parts we need, or to update or change goods or services to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements. If this happens, we will let you know, may adjust the price, and may allow you to terminate.
9.2 If we suspend supply for more than one month, you can cancel your booking through the Platform, and if you cancel under those circumstances, or we cancel our contract with you (which we may do if we stop providing a product or service) we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for products or services you will not receive.
9.3 We can end our contract with you and claim any compensation due to us if: you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 14 days of our reminding you that payment is due; you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information, cooperation or access that we need to provide goods or services; or you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to provide goods or services.
10. LIABILITY AND COMPENSATION
10.1 Where we have been negligent and/or breached a contractual obligation to you, we will be liable for any loss or damage you suffer as a result, provided that loss and/or damage is foreseeable, and you have taken reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate the loss you might otherwise suffer.
10.2 Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our negligence or breach of contract or would have been considered by you and us to be a likely consequence of it at the time we entered into a contract together.
10.3 We do not accept any liability for the following types of loss, whether caused by breach of contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, even if the loss is foreseeable: business losses; loss of income or revenue; loss of business; loss of profits; loss of anticipated savings; or waste of management or office time.
10.4 We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury arising from our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982, defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, or for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under English law.
10.5 If our supply of your products or services is delayed by an event outside our control, such as traffic incidents, transport network disruptions, inability to access your property or parts of it, you not being available at the agreed time or place, your failure to provide accurate information, illness or injury or similar matters affecting our personnel, or health and safety concerns preventing our staff from carrying out works, we contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we will not compensate you for the delay.
