6. Denial of Access

6.1      The Technical Assessment is a crucial part of the process. For this reason, it is fundamental that access to the Property is granted on the date of the Technical Assessment which will be mutually agreed by both parties but will, however, be within 60 days from Date of Order. If you do not agree such a date within the 60 days, you will be taken to have cancelled your Order. Activ8 Energies will be entitled to seek payment from you as if cancellation had occurred in accordance with clause 4 above.

6.2      In order for Activ8 Energies to carry out the Works, it is fundamental that access to the Property is granted on the Installation Date. If you do not provide such access to the Property you will incur costs to cover our expenses for that day.

6.3      You hereby irrevocably grant the company’s representative access to the premises at all reasonable times for the purposes of undertaking a technical assessment, carrying out the works forming the subject of the contract and for any subsequent work that may be required. In some cases, the company may need to use site ladders, scaffolds or vehicles on the premises in order to complete its contractual obligations. In the event of access being required to neighbouring land it is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that access is granted and the company shall not be held liable for the purchaser’s inability for delays arising out of our inability to gain access. Should access be denied whilst the company’s representative is in attendance at your property the purchaser will incur the costs to the company for that day.

7. Denial of Access

7.1      If, once the Works have commenced, technical problems are discovered which could not reasonably have been identified by Activ8 Energies technical assessor during the Technical Assessment, you will be made aware of such problem and Activ8 Energies will discuss and agree with you how such technical problems may be overcome. You will however be liable for any additional works that you agreed with Activ8 Energies are necessary to address the problems.

7.2      If you do not agree to such addition works to be carried out as are necessary to address such problems identified (whether such) works are carried out by Activ8 Energies or by another party engaged independently by you), such that Activ8 Energies is unable to complete the Works, you will be taken to have cancelled the Contract and Activ8 Energies will be entitled to seek payment from you in accordance with clause 4 as if you had cancelled the Contract.

7.3      If you do not agree to such addition works to be carried out as are necessary to address such problems identified (whether such) works are carried out by Activ8 Energies or by another party engaged independently by you), such that Activ8 Energies is unable to complete the Works, you will be taken to have cancelled the Contract and Activ8 Energies will be entitled to seek payment from you in accordance with clause 4 as if you had cancelled the Contract.

8. Internal & External Access

You are responsible to ensure that all items stored in the areas of installation are either removed before commencement of the Works or otherwise protected. Items not so protected are at your risk except in the case of negligence by Activ8 Energies. When external work is carried out, you are responsible to ensure that all vehicles and movable objects are removed from such a place that they may be damaged. Objects not removed are at your risk, unless Activ8 Energies is found to be negligent in their damage or loss.

9. Internal & External Access

The solar installation is an ACTIV8 SOLAR PV SYSTEM for the generation of electricity, unless otherwise specified in the contract, space heating is not provided for. The exact performance of Solar PV systems is impossible to predict with certainty due to the variability in the amount of solar radiation (sunlight) from location to location and from year to year. This estimate is based upon the standard DEAP procedure and is given as guidance only. It should not be considered as a guarantee of performance but you can expect your yearly production to be within 10% tolerance. For exact specification, please refer to your Order Form which outlines the components of your ACTIV8 SOLAR PV SYSTEM.

10. Price & Payment

10.1      If the Contract has been placed on our cash terms a minimum of 30% deposit shall be paid by you on signing the Contract followed by a stage payment of 35% for the roof installation. The balance of 35% is payable on completion. You are required to make payment in full (less any monies paid) immediately on the date on which the Works are completed. In the event of any alleged minor defect you shall not be entitled to withhold more than a proportionate amount of the sum due.

10.2      If required Activ8 Energies will provide you with a receipt for your payment and you will be sent a formal invoice within 14 days of completion of the Works. If you do not make payment in full Activ8 Energies reserve the right to charge interest at the rate of 3% above Bank of Ireland base rate on the sum outstanding, accruing on a daily basis from the date on which the installation is completed. If payment is not made within 30 days of the date of the invoice Activ8 Energies may commence legal proceedings against you.
