Your Statutory Rights and our Conditions of refund:
By law, a buyer has certain statutory rights to withdraw from a
purchase of Goods. This however is the purchase of a Service in which we
undertake an immediate quantity of work for which we should rightly be paid.
We regret that we cannot accept cancellations due simply to a change of mind.
However subscribers and members may cancel their ongoing subscription at any
time. For new monthly subscribers if within twelve weeks we have not sent you
jobs work enquiries requests or invitations to tender of an estimated value
that is at least equivalent to the sum you have paid we will refund your
subscription fees.

This is a work leads and referrals process in return for
advertising subscriptions. As an independent operator you are not covered by
our insurance. All liability remains with you and you fully indemnify us
against all claims or disputes whatsoever arising from any work that you

remove all branding from vehicles and cease to use our name in any way.
Quality controls, declined applications, terminations and
refunds:
Monthly subscribers may discontinue their subscription at any
time without penalty. No further fees will be charged and none refunded
(excepting those subject to our refund terms above). We reserve the right to
decline applications from the outset without needing to provide a reason. In
such cases any fees received would be fully refunded. We reserve the right to
