Steve to give you an example of why you need treatment risk.
There are so many factors beyond the control of the cleaner such as, to mention only a few: fugitive dyes, fugitive buckram, water marking, pile shading, fugitive seat lining, chemical reaction from previous cleaning materials and from foreign matter of various kinds, ingrained soil, light fading, shrinkage, weak, tender, defective or deteriorated materials which disintegrate in the hands of careful workmen, that it is impossible for the Company to guarantee that in process harm or damage may not occur to the article being processed. This is especially so in the case of spotting, since the very nature of some spots and stains, e.g. oxidized rust, liquor, cosmetics, inks,etc, make it impossible to restore original color or texture. Consequently, all work is undertaken at the customers’ risk. The Company will however use its best endeavors to undertake the work contracted for in a proper manner and will take all reasonable steps to produce the best results possible.
In the event of a claim where we accept liability, compensation shall be limited to one half of the original cost of the goods and no article shall be deemed to have a value exceeding £15 sq.yd of fabric unless, before the work is commenced,the true value of the goods is declared
to us in writing,. Where such declaration is made, the Company reserves the right to charge
an additional price.
The Company cannot recognize, or be bound by, any other verbal or written assurances conditions or warranties made by them, its agents or staff.
