Introduction

All Repair Services must be free from defects in (i) materials and (ii) workmanship. The maximum amount of liability on the part of a Repairer for any claim under the Warranty shall be limited to the total amount paid for the Repair Service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warranty shall cover defects resulting in paint peeling or paint fading. The Warranty shall be void and of no effect if any previous work or repairs had been performed on or around the affected area by any party other than the Repairer.

Axioma’s Role and Responsibilities

We cannot be responsible, and we accept no liability, for the actions or failures of any Repairer with whom a Booking is made, nor any repair (including parts), diagnostic and inspection services they provide. To the extent permitted by law we shall not be liable to you for any losses arising out of, or relating to the Axioma Services.
    • The Repairers are not our employees or workers. We have no involvement in the provision of the Repair Services.

Contract Formation and Payment

    • By accepting our quote, you are entering into an agreement with Axioma for the Axioma Services and authorising Axioma to act as your agent in relation to a Booking for the Repair Services described in that quote Acceptance of the quote authorizes Axioma to keep your card on file until the repair is carried out and to charge your card for payment of the Charges, unless you notify Axioma that you are not satisfied with the repair. Our consideration for the Axioma Services is incorporated into the price stated in the quote.
    • Your contract with the Repairer (being the Booking) is formed when the Repairer confirms acceptance of the job details through the Platform. We will confirm when this has happened and provide details of the Repairer, who will then be in touch directly with you to arrange a time to carry out the Repair Services.
    • Billing will be handled by Axioma through credit (debit) card / Paypal or Bank Transfer.

Obligations of Axioma

    • Axioma is responsible for arranging bookings and collecting payments.
    • Axioma will provide regular updates on the status of the repairs being carried out by the Repairer to the Client, including proactively notifying the Client of any delays
    • Axioma will make reasonable efforts to find a suitable Repairer for the Client at the agreed-upon price. However, Axioma cannot guarantee that a Repairer will be available or willing to provide Repair Services at the specified price. In the unlikely event that a Repairer is not available to provide the Repair Services at the specified price, we will provide an alternative price for the Repair Services, however you will be under no obligation to accept this. If you do not accept the alternative price, we will refund the Booking Fee to you and the agreement with us for the Axioma Services will be immediately terminated. Occasionally, a Repairer may realise the intended Repair Services will be insufficient to repair the damage (e.g. where a visual inspection reveals more significant damage than revealed in photographs) and in that situation the Booking and your agreement with us for the Axioma Services will be terminated and we will refund the Booking Fee to you. We shall have no liability to you beyond refunding the Booking Fee to you in these two situations.

Cancellations and Cooling-off Period

    • Please note that we start to provide the Axioma Services as soon as you accept the quote, so we will not be able to refund the Booking Fee if you decide to cancel your agreement with us for the Axioma Services after a Booking has been made.
    • You have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of the Booking, during which you may cancel the Booking without incurring any cancellation fees as long as the Repair Services have not been carried out.

      • If the Booking is cancelled outside of the cooling off period, the Client will be charged 20% of the Booking price.
      • If the Booking is cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled repair time, the Client will be charged 50% of the Booking price.
      • If a Client moves a repair to another time and does not cancel, they will be required to pay the booking fee again.
      • The booking fee is outside the cooling-off period and is non-refundable.
      • Please note that once you accept our quote, we immediately begin providing Axioma Services and your booking is processed. Therefore, if you choose to cancel your agreement with us for the Repair Services after a booking has been confirmed, the booking fee cannot be refunded.
