THE VEHICLE
- The Customer must ensure that the Vehicle supplied to the Company for modification is delivered to the Company in a clean and tidy condition and is free of defect, mechanical or otherwise, save those identified to the Company prior to engagement.
- If the Vehicle is not delivered to the Company in clean condition and therefore requires cleaning prior to the build being able to commence, additional charges may be incurred by the Customer.

POPTOPS
- For all pop top installations (including those as a single service only and those as part of a full van conversion service), as these roofs are special order (i.e. van model specific, colour specific etc), once a downpayment has been received and an order has been placed, no refunds shall be provided to the Customer by the Company, should a Customer cancellation occur. In this event, the Customer will be required to pay all remaining costs and charges due on the roof to fullfil the order (not including labour/fitting charges) and the roof will then be the property of the Customer. The Customer must remove the poptop from the Company’s premises within 1 week of cancellation. If the roof is not collected within this timeframe, storage charges of €50 per week will apply and these must be paid in full before the roof can be taken away by the Customer.
WARRANTY
- The Company offers a 12-month warranty on conversion work carried out by the Company only.

In the event where the Customer is directly providing products to be used within the conversion, the Company agrees to install these items under the agreement that the Company shall not be held responsible for any defect and/or issue with these products during or after the build. Any product warranty for these items is between the Customer and manufacturer/supplier only. If any issues arise after the completion of the build that upon investigation are deemed due to fault or issue with the product provided by the client, then repair and labour charges will apply.
- This warranty is not applicable to Vehicles that have had a part refit, or a few items replaced.
- The Company, its servants, or agents, shall not be liable for any damage caused by unreasonable use of the Vehicle and equipment. Products and appliances purchased for the purposes of the modification will be covered by manufacturer’s warranty and the Company shall not be responsible for any fault with a product or appliance and/or any damage caused to the Vehicle by a product or appliance installed as part of the modification.
- Following the completion of work by the Company, if any further changes or modifications are made to or within the Vehicle, by the Customer or third party, that may affect the work previously completed by the Company, then the Company’s warranty is null and void.
- The Company reserves the right to investigate the circumstances of the conversion defects, as some defects occur as a result of poor maintenance, care and/or storage of the Vehicle or excessive use of abuse of the Vehicle, and to also use their discretion in granting work under warranty.
- The Company reserves the right to refuse warranty work if work carried out by others is seen to be sub-standard or the cause of the defects.
SIGN OVER
- Once the Vehicle is finished, the Company will carry out a pre-delivery inspection and walkthrough with the Customer to confirm everything is up to standard. The Customer will be required to sign off on this prior to taking the van.
