1.1 The Agreement:
The Agreement consists of these Terms and Conditions together with the quotation for the annual service maintenance.
1.2 The Contract:
The Contract means the service and maintenance of the Fire and/or Security System as detailed on the previous pages.
1.3 Equipment:
This consists of any equipment used within the Fire and/or Security System as agreed is covered by The Contract.
1.4 Commissioning Date:
In the case of a ClearView installation: The date on which the Company completes the Installation of the Fire and/or Security System as in the specification and it is handed over to the customer and accepted by the customer.
1.5 Routine Proactive Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Visit:
Any visit made by the Company to the premises during normal working hours for the purpose of maintaining the Fire and/or Security System.
There will be no charge made for repairs made during the visit assuming that only minor consumable items are required (e.g. fuses, gaskets etc.).
Where replacement parts are required (e.g. battery, fire sprinkler head, fire extinguisher refill/ exchange etc.), we shall provide replacement equipment up to the value of £300 without a formal instruction or purchase order, so that repairs can be made during the first visit. ClearView offers a critical spares plan, whereby replacement parts may be ordered in advance and held onsite to reduce callout frequency and increase first fix rates.
1.6 Reactive Service Visit:
A visit made to the premises at the request of the Customer for any purpose other than routine maintenance. Any visit made as a result of operator error will be charged according to the Company’s standard schedule of rates. Parts will be charged as described in the PPM section above. If it is not possible to repair faulty equipment on-site, it may need to be removed for workshop repair. If this is necessary, every endeavour will be made to leave the Fire and/or Security System in an operational state, even if equipment has been removed. All repairs carried out off site will incur a labour and repair charge. Once repairs have been completed the equipment will be returned to site and will be subject to travel time cost (applicable for Silver Contract), in addition to the original reduced call out charge. Prior approval from the Customer will be required in order to agree these additional costs.
1.7 Term and Termination:
The Contract Term is from the contract start date for a minimum of 36 months continuing thereafter from year to year unless terminated as per the contract terms and conditions. This agreement will automatically renew at the end of each term for a further year unless the Customer provides Company with written notice of termination at least 30 days prior to the end of the contract term. At automatic renewal, the annual contract rate will increase by 5% in the event of no scope change. ClearView reserves the right to make a price change outside of the contract
Term in the event of any change of scope, for example; an increase of equipment to be covered in the contract etc. In such a case, formal notice will be issued to the Customer 30 days in advance of implementation. The service contract may be terminated by either party giving to the other 30 days’ notice in writing, if the contract terms and conditions have been breached, such notice to be served so as to expire at the end of the initial term or any subsequent anniversary of the start date of this maintenance agreement.
An annual price review will apply each year of the service contract. Any additional equipment that has come out of warranty during the contract term will be calculated and added into maintenance renewal costs for the next year. When a discounted multiple year contract option is purchased and then subsequently terminated by the customer prior to its end date, a charge of 25% of the total contract value (not the annual contract cost) will become due to the Company.

The Company assumes no responsibility or liability for The Customer’s or any third party maintained or provided IT Network System.

Engineer level access allows access to technical configuration which is normally only appropriate to engineers who have technical training in system configuration. Errors in configuration settings can render the system inoperable and are therefore generally not distributed to the Customer except when the system is no longer being maintained by the Company and passed back to the Customer for alternative support arrangements. If the Customer requires the password to be re-set this will require an engineer visit which will be charged at the Company’s standard schedule of rates.
