The terms “you” and “your” when used in these Terms means any user of this site who wishes to create an account and either post an advertisement or view the advertisements on this site posted by homeowners, tradesmen or construction firms.
The term “Consumer” is used to denote any user of this website who registers with a view to posting job advertisements, reviewing posts or advertisements and chooses to make contact with a Tradesman for the user’s own use but not in the course of business.

Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising issued by any user of this site, and any descriptions or illustrations contained in a user’s catalogues or brochures, are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the services described in them.

We will not be responsible for supplying services late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of it being requested.
7.4 Reasons we may suspend the supply of services to you. We may have to suspend the supply of services to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes; or
(b) update the services to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
7.5 We may suspend supply of the services if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the services when you are supposed to and you still do not make payment within 3 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend your use of the site and remove your posts until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending your use of the site. We will not suspend the services where you dispute the unpaid invoice. As well as suspending the services we can also charge you interest on any overdue payments.
8.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have paid for, whether there is anything wrong with the service, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
(a)If what you have paid for is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 12 if you are a consumer and clause 13 if you are a business;
(b)If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
(c)If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the service, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions;
(d)In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 8.6.
8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any services which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the services or these terms which you do not agree to;
(b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the service you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
(c)there is a risk that supply of the service may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
(d)we have suspended supply of the service for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 7 days; or
(e)you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most services bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
8.4 When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
(a)digital products after you have started to download or stream these; or
(b)services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running.
8.5How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer how long you have to change your mind depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered (for example, registered on Bag a Builder’s site to post a job advertisement)? If so, you have 14 days after the day you receive confirmation that your registration on the site is complete. However, once we have completed the services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind. The same applies to any digital content that you have bought from our site for downloading or streaming. If we delivered the digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind.
8.6Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind, you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will not end until 1 calendar month after the day on which you contact us. We will refund any advance payment you have made for services which will not be provided to you. For example, if you tell us you want to end the contract on 4 February we will continue to supply the services until 3 March. We will only charge you for supplying the services up to 3 March and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the supply of the product after 3 March.
9.1Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:

(b)Online. Complete the cancellation form on our website.
9.2How we will refund you. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the services, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
9.3When we may make deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. The same terms apply as in clause 8.3 above.
9.4When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.
10.1We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a service at any time by writing to you if:

(b)you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the services, for example, personal or job description details;
10.2We may withdraw the services. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the services.

This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the services.
14.3When we are liable for damage caused by defective digital content.

17.5Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
