Terms and Conditions / Terms of business for vehicle glass repair and replacement services – our contract with you.

1. When using this Site, you are dealing with Autoglass® Ireland Holdings Limited, t/a Allglass^® and t/a Autoglass®. In these terms references to “we” or “Allglass^®” or “Autoglass®” or “our” means Autoglass® Ireland Holdings Limited. By asking Autoglass^® to carry out vehicle glass repair and replacement work on your vehicle you agree that our work shall be governed by the following terms and conditions. Our contract with you is formed at the time of you making your appointment with us. Most but not all of the terms set out below are reproduced on the sales document that you will be asked to sign when we attend your vehicle. If our work is the subject of a claim on an insurance policy and you are not the policyholder, you promise that your dealings with us are made with the authority of the policyholder. If we have not been appointed as agent of the insurer to handle a claim under a policy issued by that insurer and our work for you includes handling a claim under a policy issued by that insurer, you appoint us as your agent to handle the claim on your behalf. The signature (made by you or your representative) that we receive at the time of the appointment confirms our authority to handle the claim on behalf of the policyholder.

2. We process information about you in accordance with our privacy policy. By using the website you consent to such processing and you warrant that all information provided by you is accurate. You agree that our privacy policy and policy on cookies as it is or they appear from time to time on our website shall govern the handling of your personal information that we receive from you, your insurer or other third party (such as a broker). If you wish to limit our right to use your personal information, please write to Data Protection c/o Autoglass^® at the address shown at the bottom of the page.

3. Where available to us, we check the latest information submitted to us by insurers to confirm that our work may be paid for under your insurance policy. We make no assurance as to the extent of your policy cover and you acknowledge that fact.

4. IN THE COURSE OF REPAIR, GLASS MAY CRACK BEYOND REPAIR THROUGH NO FAULT OF OUR TECHNICIAN. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT RISK.

• If that happens, we will ask if you would like us to replace the glass. If you wish to proceed with a replacement, we will arrange for this to occur as a matter of priority.
• In the rare event a repair fails after work has been completed we agree to perform a replacement less the cost of the original repair pending an inspection of said failed repair by an Autoglass^® technician.

5. YOU AGREE TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO US FOR THE FULL COST OF OUR SERVICE TO YOU. If you have glass cover, you may be able to claim a contribution to our costs under your insurance policy. If you are making a claim under your policy through Autoglass^®, you agree to pay us any excess stated under your policy and that we may collect the balance of our fee from your insurer and that we may process your information for this purpose. If your insurer declines cover under your policy, you agree to pay us our usual retail price applicable to the service we performed for you.

6. If the policyholder is registered for VAT, the policyholder agrees to pay VAT on our service. When you booked your appointment, you may have paid VAT calculated on the cost of the materials we usually use for a vehicle like yours. If our work on your vehicle requires us to use materials (such as a trim or clip) that we did not expect to use for the job, the price we charge and the VAT due from you may change. In that case, you agree to pay all additional costs and VAT due to us and we agree to refund our costs and VAT to the extent the amount you should have paid reduces.

7. The visibility of a repair to glass depends on the nature of the damage at the time of repair. If you are not happy with the look of our repair, we can replace your windscreen if you pay the required amount.

8. WE EXCLUDE ALL LIABILITY FOR REPAIR OF DAMAGE, WHETHER VISIBLE OR NOT, EXISTING BEFORE WE BEGIN TO WORK ON YOUR VEHICLE.

• A photographic record of visible damage existing on your vehicle will be made by our technician before starting work on your vehicle.
• In the event there is non-visible/internal mechanical damage including door mechanisms to your vehicle upon completion of our technicians initial visual inspection you accept that the identification of these issues rests solely with you and Autoglass^® shall not be held responsible for any works required to rectify these issues.

9. We will perform our service to the best of our ability at a time and location to be agreed between us. We reserve the right to change our appointment time with you for any reason. We will notify you in advance of any change to the agreed appointment time. If you have a complaint about our service, please call 01-4090900 or write to Customer Services c/o Autoglass^® at the address shown at the bottom of this page. If we damage your vehicle, we can arrange its repair at no cost to you. If without our prior written approval you organise a repair yourself, we do not guarantee to pay the costs you incur.

10. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COST TO US OF REPAIRING YOUR VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THAT WE DAMAGE IT IS LIKELY TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT WE ARE PAID FOR OUR SERVICE. FOR THAT REASON, YOU AGREE THAT OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU IS LIMITED TO: (A) THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRING ANY DAMAGE WE CAUSE TO YOUR VEHICLE; plus (B) FOR ANY PERIOD WHERE YOUR OWN CAR WILL BE UNAVAILABLE TO YOU FOR MORE THAN ONE DAY, AT OUR CHOICE, THE COST TO US OF PROVIDING YOU WITH ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF TRANSPORT OR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OF OUR CHOICE (ACTING REASONABLY). EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, YOU AGREE THAT UNLESS WE HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU TO CONFIRM OTHERWISE BEFORE WE BEGIN WORK, YOU AND AUTOGLASS^® DO NOT INTEND THAT AUTOGLASS^® REIMBURSE OR COMPENSATE YOU FOR LOSS OF INCOME, LOSS OF USE OF YOUR VEHICLE, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR PROFITS OR PURE ECONOMIC LOSS OR INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS SUFFERED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF OUR WORK. Nothing shall limit our liability for fraud or death or personal injury caused by our negligence. Your statutory rights are not affected.

11. We are unable to install a replacement windscreen on corroded metal. If we find your vehicle to be corroded, we will stop work. In that case, we will explain your options.

12. Certain vehicles now have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) cameras mounted on their windscreen. Vehicle manufacturers specify that certain models of those ADAS cameras require recalibration following replacement of the vehicle’s windscreen. In many cases, Autoglass^® is able to provide that recalibration service. After we have completed our work, the vehicle’s camera may either be recalibrated at one of our branches or by our mobile technicians depending on the ADAS technology in your vehicle; in certain cases it may require that the vehicle’s dealership network complete the work. Where recalibration is recommended for your vehicle’s ADAS camera, before making your booking with us we will advise you of that fact and check that you wish us to proceed with replacement of your vehicle’s windscreen.

13. Where payment for our work on your vehicle will be made using a trade or company account, our trade/company terms will apply to our work in priority to the terms written above.

14. You authorise us to remove your damaged vehicle glass as waste (European Waste Catalogue 16-01-20) to an authorised site for appropriate treatment (recycling).

15. Any booking that you make with us by phone or online will be subject to the Irish Distance Selling Regulations. We are pleased to provide you with the following information in accordance with those regulations:

16. When we quote the price of our service, we make assumptions as to what parts your vehicle will require.

For example, we may have to replace a trim that usually we do not have to replace for a vehicle like yours. We reserve our right to adjust our price and the amount of VAT we charge you according to the goods we supply to you in the course of providing our service to you.

17.

Accordingly, we may refuse to honour a price offered to you where you do not agree to purchase the relevant service during the continuation of the call in which the offer was first communicated to you.

22. Where we have taken any payment from you in the course of you making an appointment with us, we shall hold that payment to your order until the moment we begin our work on your vehicle.
