10. Where an installation option is shown and selected, this service will be carried out in a competent and professional manner 11. To ensure that installation can be completed, the customer must:

• Provide a concrete or paved base, being firm, square (diagonals) and level (by spirit level) – no less than the size of their chosen product.

• Ensure 600mm (2’) unobstructed access is provided all around the proposed site

• No trees, branches or similar encroach upon the proposed site or working space

• Provide clear external pedestrian access (not height or turn limited) to allow unimpeded passage of the product sections or components

• Customers who have purchased a Portabase with their building need to be aware that it is their responsibility to ensure that the ground it will sit on is of a gradient no more than 65mm across the length or width of the base, the area should also be devoid of obstructions and not overly saturated with water. If the fitting team deem the ground is not suitable, the installation will be aborted. Subject to the conditions in point 9 above will not bear any abortive costs arising from ‘The Customer’ due to a failed delivery / installation.

12. If on arrival, the base does not fully comply with the above and installation is abandoned, ‘The Customer’ will become liable for the installation service fee which is 50% of the original installation cost. This fee will be retained by Mercia Garden Products to cover the initial incurred labour costs. The product can be left on site and ‘The Customer’ given the option of either:

• Self-assembly

• Or, preparing an appropriate base upon which a return visit can be arranged subject to payment of an additional erection service fee

13. If the buyer decides to cancel the order once the fitting team have finished the installation, the fitting charge will not be refunded if the customer wishes to return the building within the 7 days.
