7.2 If the Client cancels or reschedules with insufficient notice, the Company reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee, which may be up to a reasonable percentage of the quoted service price, to cover administrative and lost time costs.
7.3 If the Technician attends the Premises at the agreed time and is unable to gain access or commence work for reasons within the Clients control, including absence, incorrect address, lack of keys, or unsafe conditions, the Company may treat the appointment as a late cancellation and charge a fee.
7.4 The Company may need to cancel or reschedule a booking due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as illness, severe weather, traffic disruption, equipment failure, or emergencies. In such cases, the Company will notify the Client as soon as reasonably possible and offer an alternative appointment.
