3. Standards of work and liability
- 3.1 Glass may crack beyond repair during the process of attempting a repair. In this instance our technicians will not be liable for any damage, and will ask if you would like to replace the glass.
- 3.2 All repairs are attempted repairs and no certainty of success can be given prior to undertaking work due to the nature of the materials involved. Please note that we do not guarantee that the attempted repair to your windscreen will be successful in every case. Through no fault of our technicians, there is a risk of a crack appearing in the windscreen during the repair process and by ordering the services from us, you acknowledge this risk
- 3.2.1 You accept that following completion of a repair, some damage to the windscreen may still be visible. Our aim is to contain the damage and restore the original strength of the windscreen only.
- 3.3 Should you be unhappy with the visibility of the repair we will offer to replace the glass and provide a quotation for our services.
- 3.4 Should the metal framework be corroded we reserve the right to refuse to fit replacement glass for safety reasons.
- 3.5 Should damage to the vehicle (damage to bits other than the glass and frame, like if the paint-work got scratched or the bonnet dented for example) occur during replacement or fitting we will endeavour to arrange repair at no cost to yourself. Should you undertake repair work without our consent we are not obliged to pay the costs incurred.
- 3.6 In some instances your windscreen will need a new moulding at the same time as the installation. Our engineers will inform you whether this will be necessary, in which case an additional charge may be incurred.
- 3.7 Drive-away times for adhesives range from 1-3 hours. This depends on the type and quantity used, as well as factors beyond our control such as ambient temperature and weather conditions. We accept no liability if you will start to drive your vehicle before the drive-away time.
- 3.8 A full check of your vehicle for existing damage will be undertaken prior to starting work. It is not our legal obligation to correct such damage.

- 3.10 Please note that where a window becomes damaged, it may cause damage to other parts of your vehicle. Such damage may not be visible or known to us at the time of carrying out the services and, we will not be responsible for or, accept any liability for carrying out such repairs or the re-setting of technical equipment (motors in doors, rain sensors, light sensors, wiper motors etc).
- 3.11 If we remove your vehicle glass to allow a repair to another part of your vehicle and refit your original vehicle glass, this will not form part of the guarantee we provide on the replacement of vehicle glass.
