Should delivery be delayed by any reason the written communication of readiness for despatch by Radiocoms to the Customer shall be considered the revised date of delivery. In default of any written communication of inability to take prompt delivery by the Customer, the products shall be deemed accepted on such date.

Unforeseeable events incurred through no fault of Radiocoms or extraordinary events at Radiocoms or its subcontractors or other impediments impossible for Radiocoms to foresee shall entitle Radiocoms to defer the date of delivery for a period equal to the time lost by reason of such event or impediment.

The Customer will be deemed to have accepted the Equipment if no notice of defect is given within 7 calendar days. Customer shall pay a restocking fee of 20% (twenty per cent) on cancellation of an order or part of an order.

Where a delivery has been refused by Customer or its representative or incorrect delivery details have been provided by Customer, Radiocoms will charge for redelivery at the normal rate.

Radiocoms will program equipment in accordance with Ofcom licence. Where additional features over and above the standard programming are required, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that they inform the account manager. Should additional programming be required following delivery, Radiocoms will be entitled to charge for the additional labour.

In the event that the Customer wishes to cancel or re-arrange an engineering visit, Radiocoms requires a minimum of five working days written notice prior to the agreed visit date. Within this five day period, Radiocoms reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee which at its sole discretion may be up to the full value of the cost of work cancelled including but not limited to labour, transport, equipment hire and accommodation.

All variations from the original agreed specification and/or purchase order will be agreed with the customer in advance of commencement of work on that variation and a new purchase order provided by the customer if required. Agreed variations will be charged for separately and be subject to these Terms and Conditions.

All returns/deliveries to Radiocoms are received and signed for on an ‘unchecked’ basis. A proof of delivery will only confirm receipt of a package(s) and not its contents.
