The Customer hereby accepts that should the vehicle be required to be moved at the sole discretion of The Company, that The Company is hereby authorized to do so, though liability for such movement and/or the revised location remains with The Customer. The Company is however not providing any warranty or liability for the movement of said vehicle.
6. The vehicle must also be ensured by the customer that the main battery holds sufficient charge to enable the vehicle to be moved where necessary, and the doors to be open for any interior cleaning without running out of charge. The company can provide a battery charge if concerns about the battery are brought to attention in advance by the customer, however all liability for the company providing such battery charge lies solely with the customer.

This is not the liability of The Company and it shall not, nor can it be held liable for such occurrences.

The only exception being for delay of the completion of the service being at the fault of the company or any prior discretions made in writing.
4. The vehicle must contain enough fuel to be started and moved, and battery must hold enough charge to be driven away by the customer after completion of the service. The company does not take liability for the vehicle running out of fuel or battery charge whilst in its care. A battery charger pack is at hand to re-charge the battery in the event of a flat battery, however any responsibility for damages caused by its use are not assumed by the company. For this reason, should the vehicle battery run flat, the customer will be notified and a course of action will be agreed at the customer's responsibility.

Once the Service is complete and checked by The Customer, it will be confirmed as satisfactory at all points.
2. In the event that The Customer cannot be present at the completion of the Service, a representative appointed by The Customer whose name and contact details are to be provided to The Company in advance should one be designated.

5.
