2.1.3. a third party cylinder that meets Our minimum requirements for suitable heat transfer capability and (for 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover only) which has passed Our pre-inspection (see Clause 2.6 for details). (See Clause 2.2.2 for excluded

2.6. IMPORTANT: For 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover Our pre-inspection fee is payable by You in full in advance and is non-refundable. Where Our pre-inspection for 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover confirms Your System is in satisfactory condition, We will conduct a full service during that visit. Your 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover will then commence upon Your payment of the balance of the fee due for this level of Services. Alternatively, where You are already aware that Your heat pump or Your System is faulty, You
may apply to us for a quotation to perform remedial works and a 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover Services Agreement conditional upon Our completion of those works. In that case, Our completion of those remedial works shall be deemed to include Our completion of annual maintenance inspection Services within the 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover. Where Our pre-inspection discloses that any
remedial works are required to be performed before the 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover Services can commence, We shall quote  separately in writing for those works. Subject to Your agreement, We shall arrange for those works to be carried out at a mutually convenient date and time, normally within 14 days of Your confirmation to proceed. In that case, the 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover Services shall be deemed to commence on the date of Our completion of those works and Your payment of the balance of the fee due for this level of Services. We reserve the right to suspend the Services if You fail to pay for remedial works by the due date.
If You reject our quotation for remedial works or fail to respond within 30 days to our quotation then We shall notify You that the 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover Services Agreement is deemed to be terminated. If Our pre-inspection or any inspections for the
purposes of a quotation for remedial works discloses any fault that We consider cannot be remedied or any remedial works that would
necessitate any structural building works or major plumbing or electrical works to Your Home then We may withhold Our quotation for remedial works and issue You notice terminating the Services Agreement. Any such termination does not restrict You from reapplying for Services at a later date when You have had the fault remedied.                                                                                                        2.7 Glycol (antifreeze) required for topping up Your System as part of Our pre-inspection or any Services will be an additional cost. Our engineer will inform You as to the cost of glycol and will ask you to confirm Your consent to the charge. We do not charge labour for topping up with gycol. However, any full System flush and refilling with glycol is an additional cost and is also subject to a
labour charge. 
2.8 The Services Schedule details Our basic pricing to You for the Services and payment options available to You. You can make payment in full in advance. If You wish to pay on a monthly basis then as a pre-condition to acceptance of Your order for Services you must confirm a Direct Debit for Your monthly payment to Us.
2.9 The Services visit report made by Our engineer for any pre-inspection and each annual service inspection or for any call-out (where Your Services Agreement includes any level of call-out Services) will confirm:
- time of arrival at Your Home
- any access or safety issues encountered by Our Engineer
- for any pre-inspection, whether Your Ecodan heat pump or Your System as appropriate is satisfactory
- identification of any faults or failures to Your
Ecodan heat pump or Your System as appropriate (and will record any fault or failure outside the scope of the Services
Agreement)
- remedial actions taken or recommended by Our Engineer plus any maintenance servicing
undertaken.
2.10 Services are available at a Home anywhere in England, Scotland or Wales provided that it is in a reasonably accessible location for Our Engineer. For some remote areas, We reserve the right to apply additional charges for increased travel costs including flights and accommodation. Your responsibility for these charges will be specified by Us in the Services Schedule as a condition to accepting Your order.

We reserve the right in Our discretion to refuse to enter into a Services Agreement with You. Without limitation, this includes Your Home being in an inaccessible location or any fault or failing in Your heat pump or Your System which is already known to us from any previous inspection or service support and which You do not confirm as having been remedied.
In such case:
- We will provide You with a written explanation for Our refusal; and
- We shall endeavour to suggest any potential third party maintenance services suppliers, but cannot be held responsible for the
performance, acts or omissions of any such third parties.

4.1. The initial period of the Services Agreement shall be 12 months commencing from the date of Your payment of the of the fee due for the relevant Services (or where You require 3 Diamond Maintenance Cover Your payment of the balance of the fee due following a

Services will be provided at a fixed price for this annual period (unless the rate of VAT changes or any statutory levy is introduced by
Government) plus any chargeable additional amounts as may be due in accordance with this Agreement (for example, any glycol topping-up as noted in Clause 2.7 or for any call-out (where Your Services Agreement includes any level of call-out Services)). All fees and charges include VAT. We shall charge and You shall pay the total annual price by the due dates as specified in the Services  Schedule, subject only to Us issuing a VAT invoice.

consult us before placing Your order. We will determine whether We can accept Your order and any special conditions as may be
required as conditions to Our acceptance, including pricing impacts. If Your order is then accepted, a special note will be made on the Services Schedule detailing any special pricing and conditions:
