About these terms

By using our website, requesting a quote or booking a service, you agree to these
Terms of Service. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our website
or book a service with us.

households, business customers and fleet enquiries.
02
Our service
Blue Dales Auto Care provides mobile car cleaning, car valeting and related vehicle-care
services at locations agreed with the customer, such as a driveway, workplace, parking area
or business premises.
Services may include exterior cleaning, interior cleaning, full valet services, fleet van
washing and selected car-care options. Availability may depend on your location, the vehicle
type, weather conditions, site access and operational capacity.
We may add, change or withdraw service options, packages, pricing or coverage areas at any
time.
The services available to you will be shown or confirmed before your booking is accepted.
03
Bookings & cancellations
A booking is confirmed only when we accept your request and provide confirmation by email,
phone, text message or another agreed communication method.
You may request to reschedule or cancel a booking. Where possible, please contact us at
least
12 hours before the appointment time. Late cancellations, missed appointments or situations
where we cannot reasonably access the vehicle may result in a cancellation fee.
We may cancel, postpone or rearrange a booking where required for safety, legal,
weather-related
or operational reasons. If this happens, we will aim to offer a suitable alternative
appointment
or refund any payment already made for the affected service.
04
Pricing & payment
Prices are displayed or quoted before a service is confirmed. Prices may vary depending on
the
selected package, vehicle size, vehicle condition, location, access requirements and any
extra
services requested.
Where VAT applies, this will be shown in the relevant quote, invoice or receipt. Unless
stated
otherwise, quoted prices relate only to the specific service requested.
Payment terms will be confirmed before the booking. We may require payment before the
service,
at the time of booking, or after completion depending on the type of service and customer
account.
05
Detailers & service standards
Services may be carried out by Blue Dales Auto Care staff, approved contractors or trusted
service partners. All work must meet our expected service standards for care,
professionalism
and customer communication.
We aim to provide careful, reliable and practical vehicle cleaning. However, results may
vary
depending on the age, condition, previous maintenance and existing wear of the vehicle.
06
Your responsibilities
You agree to provide safe and lawful access to the vehicle and a suitable space for the
service
to be carried out. You must ensure that we are permitted to work at the chosen location.
Before the appointment, you should remove valuables, personal belongings, sensitive
documents,
loose items and any fragile property from the vehicle.
You must tell us about any relevant vehicle condition, including damaged paintwork, loose
trim,
leaks, electrical faults, previous repairs, delicate surfaces or anything else that may
affect
the service.
Customers are expected to treat our team respectfully. We may refuse or stop a service if
there
is abusive behaviour, unsafe access, unlawful activity or unreasonable risk.
07
Liability & insurance
We take reasonable care when providing our services. Nothing in these terms limits liability
for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or
any
liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Subject to the above, our liability for a booking is limited to the amount paid for that
booking,
unless a higher amount is recoverable under applicable insurance for damage directly caused
by
us during the service.
We are not responsible for loss or damage caused by pre-existing vehicle conditions,
undisclosed
faults, loose parts, previous poor repairs, normal wear and tear, or customer failure to
remove
personal items from the vehicle.
08
Our quality guarantee
If you are not satisfied with a completed service, please contact us within 48 hours and
provide
clear details of the issue. Photographs may help us review the matter quickly.
Where we agree that the service did not meet the expected standard, we may offer a re-clean,
partial refund, full refund or another reasonable solution. This guarantee is in addition to
your legal rights as a consumer under UK law.
09
Data & privacy
We process personal data in line with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection
law.
This may include your name, contact details, booking information, vehicle details,
payment-related
information and customer service communications.
Please read our Privacy Policy to understand what we collect, how we use it, how long we
keep it
and what rights you have.

have
non-exclusive jurisdiction.
