3. TERM AND TERMINATION

3.1 Term

These Terms and Conditions and your subscription for Swyft Boiler Care will continue in force from year to year from the date on which the commencement of your subscription for Swyft Boiler Care comes into effect in accordance with clause 3.2, unless you terminate it by giving us notice in accordance with clause 3.6, or we terminate it by giving you notice in accordance with clauses 3.8 or 3.9 (whichever is earlier).

3.2 Commencement

When you order Swyft Boiler Care, Swyft Energy may run a credit check against you and perform a full eligibility check on the Boiler at a time and date agreed with you. If we choose to carry out either or both of these checks and they are satisfactory to Swyft Energy, these Terms and Conditions and your subscription for Swyft Boiler Care will come into effect from the later of (i) the date that we notify you that the credit check is satisfactory to us and (ii) the date that we notify you that the Boiler is suitable for Swyft Boiler Care. Upon termination of Swyft Boiler Care, Swyft Energy will have no further obligations to you in respect of the Boiler or otherwise under these Terms and Conditions.

Where the credit check and/or the full eligibility check on the Boiler are satisfactory to Swyft Energy, the Service Engineer will carry out the Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety Check on the date agreed between you and Swyft Energy. Swyft Energy will not be obliged to commence or continue a Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety Check unless it is satisfied with your credit check results and/or the full eligibility check on the Boiler, and that no Health and Safety issue exists which would mean it would be inappropriate, unsafe or otherwise unsuitable for the Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety Check to commence or continue. For the avoidance of doubt, this will include circumstances where Swyft Energy determines that the Boiler is inaccessible, due to the enclosure or compartment in which it is located, so as to impede the Service Engineer commencing or continuing with the Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety Check. Please see clause 12 for further information.

In circumstances where we determine that we are not in a position to commence or continue the Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety Check due to a Health and Safety issue, we will charge you a cancellation fee equal to €30. Boiler Service Visits will be conducted during normal working hours (8am to 8pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 6pm on Saturdays excluding bank holidays and public holidays in Ireland), unless otherwise agreed between the Parties. If the issue preventing the Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety Check from proceeding or continuing is removed and the appointment is rescheduled by you within 10 Business Days of the most recent Boiler Service Visit, we will refund the cancellation fee of €30.

3.3 Your Responsibilities

It is your responsibility to provide the Service Engineer with the necessary access to the Property at the time of our appointment(s) to carry out the Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety Check. If we are not able to gain access to your Property at the time of any appointment, because you are not available to provide access we will not be able to carry out the Boiler Service and/or the Boiler Safety Check and it is your responsibility to arrange another appointment.

If we are not able to gain access to your Property at the time of an appointment, we will inform you that we were not able to carry out the Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety and we will charge you a cancellation fee equal to €30. You are also responsible for making sure that (a) we can safely access your Property, which includes providing safe access to your Boiler; and (b) there is sufficient gas in the system to allow the Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety Check to be completed (applicable to pre-pay meters only). In circumstances where we are not in a position to proceed with the Boiler Service and/or Boiler Safety Check due to (a) or (b), we will inform you of this and charge you a cancellation fee equal to €30.

It is also your responsibility to take care in or around areas where work is taking place during a Boiler Service Visit and to ensure that any children or animals in the Property are kept away from any area where work is being carried out or equipment is being stored and all areas in between.
