This document provides you with information about us (LeakBot Limited, 6th Floor, 60 Gracechurch Street, London EC3V 0HR registered in England with number 08442778, VAT No: GB 166 727 086) and the legal terms and conditions (Terms and Conditions) on which we provide LeakBot via our website www.leakbot.io/buy or www.myleakbot.com (our sites) to you.

These Terms and Conditions will apply to any contract between us for the order of a LeakBot to you (Contract).

We suggest you print a copy of these Terms and Conditions or save them to your computer for future reference. We amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time.

The Contract

1. After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.  Acceptance will occur when you receive confirmation that a LeakBot has been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation).  The Contract between you and us will only be formed when the Dispatch Confirmation is sent.

2. If we are unable to supply you with a LeakBot, for example because it is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site, we will inform you of this and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for a LeakBot, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

3. The images of LeakBot on our site are for illustrative purposes only. LeakBot may vary slightly from those images. The packaging of LeakBot may vary from that shown on images on our site.

4. Minor changes to the products.

We may change LeakBot:

1. to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or
2. to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.

5. We may have to suspend the supply of Leakbots to:

1. deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
2. update LeakBot to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
3. make changes to LeakBot as requested by you or notified by us to you (see Paragraph 4).

Your right to end the Contract and refunds

Cooling off rights

6. You have the right to cancel a Contract 14 days after the day on which you receive a LeakBot (Cancellation Period). Your right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation. For example, if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive a LeakBot on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.

7. This means that during the Cancellation Period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a LeakBot, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Please see more details about cancellation and refunds in Paragraphs 10 and 11.

8. To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to complete the Cancellation Form at the bottom of these Terms and Conditions and email this to support@leakbot.io. We will confirm receipt of form this in writing to you.

9. During the Cancellation Period, if a LeakBot has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. For your return labels, please contact us at support@leakbot.io. Please ask for a Certificate of Posting when returning the LeakBot to us as proof of postage.

Your right to end the Contract

10. You can always end a Contract if:

1. the LeakBot is faulty or does not conform with its description.
2. we have told you about an error in the price or description of the LeakBot you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
3. there is a risk that supply of the LeakBot may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or
4. we have suspended supply of the LeakBot for technical reasons or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons.

You will have 30 days from the day of delivery to reject the faulty or non-conforming product. During this 30 day period, you may choose to have the LeakBot replaced. If the LeakBot is still faulty or non-conforming after a replacement or replacement is not possible within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you, you will be entitled to reject the LeakBot or to a price reduction.

Refunds

11. If you cancel your Contract we will:

1. where relevant, refund you the price you paid for the LeakBot. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the LeakBot, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
2. where relevant, refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of the LeakBot within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the LeakBot delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
3. reimburse all payments received as follows:
   1. No more than 14 days after the day on which we were informed about your decision to cancel the Contract; or
   2. If you had already received LeakBot, 14 days after the day we receive back the LeakBot in a resalable condition (i.e. in original box and not tampered), and
   3. using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. If you used vouchers to pay for the LeakBot we may, at our discretion, refund you in vouchers.

12. Where you exercise your cooling off rights or your legal right to end the Contract, you must return the LeakBot to us.

13. If you have returned the LeakBot to us because it is faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the LeakBot in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us. Unless the LeakBot is faulty or not as described you will be responsible for the cost of returning the LeakBot to us.

Delivery

14. During the online sales process, we will give you an estimated delivery date. We will deliver the LeakBot as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order.  Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the LeakBot to the address you gave us and the LeakBot will be your responsibility from that time.

15. Any delivery charges are as indicated to you and accepted by you during the check-out process before you confirm your order.

16. When purchasing a LeakBot, you own the LeakBot once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges. In all cases, the LeakBot will become your responsibility from the time we deliver it to the delivery address you gave us.

17. If we fail to deliver the LeakBot 30 days after the date of Dispatch Confirmation, you may cancel your order straight away and we’ll refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled the Leakbot and its delivery.

Price of products and payment

18. The prices of LeakBot will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. Our prices include VAT. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of LeakBot is correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. If we discover an error in the price of Leakbot(s) you ordered, the following shall apply:

1. where LeakBot’s correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching a LeakBot to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide LeakBot to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and
2. if LeakBot’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase a LeakBot at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

19. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the LeakBot, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay (unless you have already paid for the LeakBot in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect).

20. You can only pay for the LeakBot using a debit card or credit card.  You must pay for the LeakBot before we dispatch it.

LeakBot

21. Subject to meeting the Installation Criteria (set out below), LeakBot detects leaks from 5 ml per minute on the internal fresh water plumbing system in your main domestic property. The LeakBot does not prevent leaks. The LeakBot alerts you in case of a water leak through an SMS, app notification or an e-mail (an “Alert”).

Installation Criteria:

For LeakBot to successfully detect water leaks on the internal fresh water plumbing system, the following criteria need to be fulfilled:

• LeakBot has to be installed on the internal mains water supply pipe before the pipe branches off around the property,
• LeakBot has to be installed between 0.3m and 0.5m along the pipe from the point where the mains water supply pipe leaves the ground inside your property, (if your mains water supply pipe is a lead pipe we advise that LeakBot is installed a minimum of 0.4m along the pipe from the point where the mains water supply pipe leaves the ground inside your property),
• The pipework before the install location must have any lagging / insulation removed,
• On a horizontal internal mains water supply pipe LeakBot must be installed above the pipe,
• LeakBot needs to be installed on a mains water supply pipe where there is no heat source impacting the incoming water temperature and surrounding ambient air temperature,
• LeakBot cannot be installed outside or in another building that is different to the main domestic property,
• In any 24-hour period, LeakBot requires some water to flow through the internal fresh water plumbing system; but also a minimum of one 3-hour period where no water is used.
• LeakBot must be registered and installed using the LeakBot app.

The LeakBot installation guide can be found here: Install Guide

PLEASE NOTE:

• LeakBot does not detect the following:

• • leaks that are not on the internal fresh water plumbing system

• • leaks that are on a closed system, for example on your central heating system or waste system

• • a new leak on your internal fresh water plumbing system where an existing leak has not been repaired

• • leaks on the mains water supply pipe located before where LeakBot has been installed

• LeakBot requires a number of consecutive leak tests above 5ml / min before sending a low flow leak alert. When the device is first installed, any pre-existing leak will be alerted after 3 consecutive leak tests.  If a leak develops some time after installation, a leak will be alerted after 6 consecutive leak tests.

• LeakBot needs to see a difference in temperature between the incoming water temperature and surrounding ambient air temperature.
• LeakBot needs to see a stable ambient air temperature.

• Alerts relating to a continuous fast flow of water shall only be triggered after 60 minutes (or less if you have chosen a different amount of time in the app) in cases where LeakBot has not detected a pre-existing continuous low flow leak.

• We may adjust the calibration or sensitivity of LeakBot to account for certain installation environments and plumbing systems. We will inform you in writing by email in cases where the adjustment adversely affects LeakBot sensitivity to alert to a leak of 5 ml / min

22. If a LeakBot cannot / does not comply with the Installation Criteria, we reserve the right to deactivate that LeakBot and offer you a refund of the price you have paid for the LeakBot.
