1.2. Whilst every effort is made to ensure that valeting services are carried out to the highest standard and to the best of the Company’s ability, according to the condition of a vehicle, the Client is advised to check the vehicle(s) on completion of valeting, before signing invoices or work schedules, that work has been carried out to the standard and specification described. If there is any cause for dissatisfaction, the Client should point out the discrepancy to the Company’s personnel, who will endeavor to correct it at that time and to the best of their ability. No responsibility can be accepted by the Company for omissions/discrepancies detected after the Company’s personnel have left the Client’s premises. Should the valet be carried out with the ‘Client not present’ and the Client has cause for complaint, then, the Client is asked to contact the Company within 24 hours of the valet.
