matts april fools joke!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

No Joke guys!


Following a thread on CIU (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=94227.0) i've done some digging. I'm not an expert, but the law seems clear to me - have a read of this:

http://www.pkc.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/9D37DB44-A032-4F78-8B01-48F57B1511B4/0/CANCEL...


Here is the relevant stature: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2008/uksi_20081816_en_1#l1g5

The upshot is:

From 1 October 2008, new regulations extend the existing law on cooling-off periods and cancellation rights for consumers. They will cover contracts made both during both solicited visits made by traders - ie visits made at the consumer's request - and unsolicited visits by traders. The visits could take place in a consumer's home or workplace, or another individual's home, or on an excursion organised by the trader away from the trader's business premises in the UK. Certain exceptions may however apply.

Traders must provide a minimum cooling-off period of seven calendar days starting with the date of receipt by the consumer of a notice of the right to cancel from the trader

• The right to cancel, within the cancellation period applies to contracts with a total payment value of more than £35
• The cancellation rights must be clearly and prominently displayed in any written contract, or given in writing if there is no written contract

Yes your ok, lol, my interperation of it is you have to give 7 days notice before doing the first clean if its a regular monthly/ fortnightly/weekly/daily clean of over £35.
once you give the 7 day notice you can work as regular as you and the customer agrees, even if its everyday.
