2.0 Scope & Objectives

The objectives of the agreement is to provide a more concise understanding, as well as better communication concerning the Company / Client relationship.

The parties involved come together in order to understand each other’s needs, priorities and concerns, and to gain an insight into the problems which may be faced by each party through the failure of each party to fulfil their obligations. Guards against expectation creep.

It is not uncommon for one party’s expectations to be slightly higher than considered reasonable. The process facilitates the identification and discussion of expectations. As a result, it helps identify service levels that are considered acceptable by each party and which are attainable and achievable.

By working to a mutually beneficial agreement, this provides a framework against which performance may be measured. It identifies customer expectations, defines the boundaries of the service provision and clarifies responsibilities.

If the engineer feels there is a high risk of water or high wind damage to the vehicle and decides to cancel due to there being no cover then it will be deemed and processed as a cancellation, it is therefore recommended that all locations can provide appropriate fitting facilities. b) In the event of adverse weather (including High Winds etc) we request the option of an alternative site location to carry out required work scopes (max within a 5 mile radius – please be aware that this will impact on the assigned timescale – and an evaluation of any associated time & costs will be taken into account) c) Risk Assessment – The Company’s Engineer will perform a risk assessment on the scheduled work scope – should this highlight any unsafe circumstances / situations this will need to be remedied or the work scope may be aborted with agreed charges being applicable.

22.5 Misleading / Incorrect information: this may occur for example when a Client identifies a damaged or unserviceable item, which upon Engineer attendance has not been as identified correctly by the Client.
