After our initial assessment, if we determine that extra work and/or parts are required, which are not included in the Service that you have booked, you will be notified and advised of the most economical way to proceed, whether by incorporating the extra work and/or parts into your existing Service or by upgrading to a different level of Service.

    21.44 If you choose to cancel your Service Plan before the end of the first, or any subsequent, twelve month subscription period, (the “Subscription Period”), Kent Cycles will retain the sum of all subscription fees (the “Subscription Sum”) paid up to the termination date and, in addition, Kent Cycles will calculate the full labour costs for any and all Services provided within the Subscription Period (the “Service Fees”). Accordingly, upon cancellation, The Subscription Sum will be deducted from the Service Fees, and you will be charged the remainder (the “Termination Fee”).

    21.45 Upon Cancellation, it is understood that The Subscription Sum and all and any previous subscription fees paid to Kent Cycles will be retained by us and it is further understood that the said fees are to be retained by Kent Cycles, without exception, even if no Services have been provided to the customer within the Subscription Period.

    Cancellation by Kent Cycles
    21.46 We reserve the right to cancel the contract between us if:
    (a) we have insufficient stock to deliver Goods you have ordered;
    (b) one or more of the Goods or Services or Hire Items you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers; or
    (c) we have reason to suspect that there is a risk of a fraudulent transaction.
    If we do cancel your contract, we will notify you by email and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us (in respect of Goods provided by us) from your debit or credit card as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.

    (d) if, for any reason, Kent Cycles ceases to trade at 81b Castle Street Canterbury Kent CT1 2QD, under which circumstances, after providing written confirmation of the date of closure, we will end the contract and any or all further payments on that date, provided that the sum of services already received by the customer within the twelve month contractual period is equal to or greater than the subscription sum paid. If, however, the sum of services already received by the customer within the twelve month contractual period is less than the subscription sum paid we will use all best endeavours to fulfil our contractual obligations within the current twelve month period and end the contract and payments at the end of the said period.
