All services are subject to:

We reserve the right to modify, decline, or adjust service scope based on technical, safety, or operational considerations. No service is confirmed until a written agreement or confirmation has been provided.

All quotes provided by The Dumbwaiter Company are based on the information available at the time of enquiry and may be subject to change following a site survey or further technical assessment.

Prices may vary depending on:

  • Building structure and access requirements
  • System specifications and customisation
  • Materials, equipment, and labour costs
  • Compliance and safety requirements

Unless stated otherwise, all quotes are valid for a limited period and are non-binding until formally accepted. Any changes in project scope may result in an updated quotation.

Contracts & Agreements

No work will begin until a service agreement or written confirmation has been provided by The Dumbwaiter Company.

All projects are confirmed through written communication, which may include email approval, formal acceptance of a quotation, or a signed agreement.

Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be confirmed in writing by both parties. Verbal agreements or informal discussions are not considered binding.

Payments

Payment terms will be agreed upon prior to the commencement of any work and will be outlined in the quotation or service agreement.

Depending on the project, payments may be required in stages, including deposits, progress payments, or payment in full upon completion.

All invoices must be settled within the agreed timeframe. Failure to make payment on time may result in delays to ongoing work, suspension of services, or additional charges where applicable.

Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellations must be requested in writing as early as possible. Any work already completed, materials ordered, or costs incurred up to the point of cancellation may be chargeable.

Refunds, where applicable, will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on the project’s stage and any non-recoverable expenses.

Once installation or service work has commenced, cancellation may not be possible without incurring costs.
