not to start work and cancel the 3K Service Quote, or
if the Requirement does not become reasonably apparent until after work has started, to stop work and to charge you a reasonable sum for any work carried out by us along with VAT.

Rights to refuse service

The 3K has the right, at any time, to refuse to provide or arrange service of whatever nature where it reasonably considers that:

you or anyone accompanying you is behaving or has behaved in a threatening or abusive manner to 3K Group employees, patrols or agents, or to any third-party contractor;
you have falsely represented that you are entitled to services that you are not entitled to;
you have assisted another person in accessing 3K services to which they are not entitled;

the Vehicle is in a dangerous, over-laden or un-roadworthy condition.

Matters outside the 3K’s reasonable control

While the 3K seeks to meet the service needs of its customers at all times, its resources are finite and this may not always be possible. We will use all reasonable endeavors to complete the 3K Service Work within the time estimates given to you but cannot guarantee this. We will inform you of any delay as soon as reasonably practical.
The 3K shall not be liable for any failure where such failure results from circumstances outside the 3K’s reasonable control. Events which constitute circumstances outside the 3K’s reasonable control include (but are not limited to) acts of God, outbreak of hostilities, riot, civil disturbance, acts of terrorism, acts of government or authority (including the refusal or revocation of any license or consent), fire, subsidence, explosion, flood, snow, fog or other bad weather conditions, vehicle, equipment or systems failures, shortages of fuel or other necessary supplies, failure of telecommunications lines or systems, default of suppliers or subcontractors, theft, malicious damage, any refusal of access to (or inability to access) the agreed location for carrying out 3K Service, strike, lock out or industrial action of any kind.
In addition to clause 10.2 above, if weather conditions are such that either a) it is not safe for the 3K Service Technician to carry out or complete the 3K Service, or b) the 3K Service could not reasonably be carried out to required standards, or c) the Garage cannot collect the Vehicle previously agreed then the 3K reserve the right to rearrange an appointment. In these situations, you will be given as much notice as reasonably possible.

Exclusion of liability for loss of profit etc.

We, and our agents or sub-contractors, shall not be liable to you for any loss or damage caused by us, our employees, agents or sub-contractors where a) there is no breach of a legal duty owed to you by the 3K or its employees, agents or sub-contractors; or b) such loss or damage is not a reasonably foreseeable result of such a breach; or c) any loss or damage, or any increase in the same, results from any breach or omission by you (including, but not in any way limited to, any failure on your part to take all reasonable steps to minimize any such loss or damage). The 3K, its employees, agents or sub-contractors shall not, in any event, be liable for any loss you may have a) relating to any business interest(s) you may have including, without limitation, loss of profits, loss of opportunity or of business or losses relating to business interruption or b) of earnings.

Possible effects of 3K Service on 3rd party warranties

If you have the benefit of a warranty in respect of the Associated Vehicle from another company (e.g. a manufacturer’s warranty or another repairer’s warranty) the carrying out of the 3K Service Work may affect your rights under that other warranty. You should check, and will be deemed to have checked, the terms of any such warranty you may have before instructing us to carry out 3K Service Work. We and our agents or sub-contractors will not be responsible for the effect of the work on any other warranty you may have.
For clarity, nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or restrict 3K’s liability for negligence resulting in death or personal injury, or any other liability which cannot be lawfully excluded or restricted under this agreement.

Enforcement of Terms and Conditions

Failure to enforce or non-reliance on any of these Terms and Conditions by the 3K on a particular occasion or occasions will not prevent the 3K from subsequently relying on or enforcing them and do not constitute a waiver of 3K’s rights under these Terms and Conditions.
