In such a case, the sign will be held for 28 days and may be used elsewhere by the customer at no extra cost.
e. Any sign cancelled within two hours of order being placed will not be charged for. A sign cancelled between 2-4 hours of the order being placed will be charged at 20% of the cost, or between 4-12 hours at 50% cost. After that time any sign cancelled will be charged for in full.

4. Insurance
a. Liability. Daylight Signs Insurance cover to the value of 5 Million pounds.
b. All signage produced and erected by Daylight Signs is covered by our public liability insurance for a period of up to 12 months from the date erected. Thereafter, Daylight Signs will make an insurance inspection to ascertain the condition of the board and fixing status. There is an additional charge for that inspection (see price list) and any remedial work (if required) to warrant a further 12 month cover. Boards are deemed temporary signage and given the extreme inclement weather conditions over a 12- month period, it is vital that inspections are carried out.
c. Any client/customer of Daylight Signs not willing to abide by our Terms and Conditions must put in writing on official company headed paper their instructions to waiver insurance inspections and costs involved.
d. Daylight Signs will collect all standard agency boards that have been in situ for 12 months without insurance inspections and will charge for that removal, if not already paid for.
e. Daylight Signs reserve the right not to accept any responsibility for uninsured signage other than that covered by Daylight Signs’ Terms and Conditions.
f. Boards may be delayed in adverse weather conditions (high winds, snow and such like). We will endeavour to put them up as soon as safely possible,
4.1. Board Insurance
a. All commercial signage erected by Daylight Signs comes with 12 months insurance cover. When cover has expired, Daylight Signs will notify the client/customer to determine whether he/she wishes to extend the insurance of the board in situ for a further 12-month period.
b. If the customer wishes to extend the insurance, Daylight Signs will inspect the sign or banner and carry out work that is required to ensure that signage is secure for a further 12-month period as per insurance requirements. There is a charge to carry out such work.
c. If the customer declines to extend insurance for a further 12 months, Daylight Signs will not be liable for any consequential damage or injury that may occur.
d. Any quotation given for signage is based on the manufacture and installation to customer requirements including 12-month insurance cover.
e. Insurance cover commences from the date signage is installed. Once cover has expired, the customer will be notified and, as detailed above, has the choice to extend cover for a further 12 months. All signs will need to be removed after two years from the date of erection unless 4.1.h applies.
f. Failure to respond to our enquiry to extend insurance cover for a further 12 months will result in the relevant signage being removed; so please respond to such communication, by email, within 2 weeks.
g. All signage will be removed after 2 years (unless specifically agreed otherwise – see 4.1.h) and invoiced accordingly, if not already invoiced and paid for.
h. For signage required to be in situ for more than 2 years, we highly recommend the use of metal signage (diebond) and legs; this is insured for up to 5 years, provided yearly inspections of it take place as required by our insurers.
i. All signage will be removed after 1 year if you are not using our services or the office has closed. To avoid the board being removed you will need to submit by email or post to arrange an insurance inspection. Cost as per price list, full billing details / email are required. This supersedes 4e. as you would have left our services or office closure.
5. General terms
a. Any agent who requests another agents sign to be removed, will need the freeholder to confirm this to us before we carry out the instruction, or if you are able to email us stating you have the freeholders consent to remove the other agents sign. But any cost incurred with said action the requester will be liable for the cost involved (in producing another sign and then erecting the said sign) if the information supplied proves to be inaccurate.
