1. Definitions and Interpretation

1.1 In these Terms, the following expressions shall have the following meanings:

• "Company", "we", "us", "our" — DNC Block Paving Ltd, a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales under company number 16690325, whose registered office is at 57 Pontefract Road, Cudworth, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, S72 8AY;
• "Website" — the website accessible at dncblockpaving.co.uk, together with any subdomain thereof;
• "User", "you", "your" — any person accessing or using the Website;
• "Content" — all text, images, photographs, graphics, logos, page layouts, software and other material published on or comprised in the Website;
• "Estimate Tool" — the online facility on the Website by which an indicative price range may be generated on the basis of information entered by the User;
• "Customer Contract" — the Company's standard form of customer contract and terms of engagement for landscaping, block paving and associated external works, provided to prospective customers prior to the formation of any contract for works;
• "Terms" — these terms of use, as amended from time to time in accordance with clause 12.

1.2 In these Terms, unless the context otherwise requires: (a) headings are for convenience only and shall not affect interpretation; (b) words importing the singular include the plural and vice versa; and (c) any words following the expressions "including", "for example" or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative only and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding them.

2. Status and Acceptance of these Terms

2.1 These Terms govern access to and use of the Website only. By accessing or using the Website, the User agrees to be bound by these Terms. A User who does not agree to these Terms must refrain from using the Website.

2.2 Save as provided in clause 3.5, these Terms do not govern, and shall not be construed as governing, the supply of any works or services by the Company. Any works undertaken by the Company are governed exclusively by the accepted written quotation and the Customer Contract relating to those works.

2.3 Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer capable of acceptance so as to form a contract for the supply of works. Material on the Website constitutes an invitation to treat only.

3. Status of Online Estimates

3.1 Any estimate generated through the Estimate Tool and sent to the User by email, including any figure or price range it contains, is indicative only, is produced solely from the information entered by the User, and is provided for general budgeting purposes.

3.2 For the avoidance of doubt, no such estimate shall constitute a quotation, an offer, or any representation or warranty as to the price at which the Company will undertake any works.

3.3 The price payable for any works shall be exclusively that set out in the Company's fixed written quotation, issued following a site inspection and accepted in accordance with the Customer Contract. Unless otherwise stated on its face, a written quotation shall remain open for acceptance for thirty (30) days from its date.

3.4 A User who asks for an estimate may also receive follow-up messages and occasional news and offers about the Company's own services, as described in clauses 3.3 and 3.4 of the Privacy Policy, unless the User selects "No thanks" on the form or later asks the Company to stop. Receiving such messages is not a condition of using the Estimate Tool.

3.5 Where the Company attends a User’s property to inspect proposed works and prepare a written quotation, that visit is provided free of charge and places the User under no obligation to proceed. No charge arises by reason of the visit, whether or not a quotation follows and whether or not the User accepts it.

4. Enquiries

4.1 Save as provided in clause 4.3, the submission of an enquiry or quotation request through the Website shall not create any contractual relationship between the User and the Company, nor oblige the User to proceed with any works, nor oblige the Company to provide any quotation.

4.2 Personal data submitted with an enquiry shall be processed in accordance with the Company's Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

4.3 The Company offers a free site visit to any User who requests one in respect of works of a type the Company undertakes, at a property up to 30 miles from Barnsley, being the area stated on the Website. Where the Company does not attend, or attends but does not provide a quotation — including where the property lies outside that area, where the works fall outside the services the Company provides, where access or site conditions make attendance impracticable, or where the Company does not have the capacity to undertake the works — it shall inform the User promptly. No charge shall arise in any such case.

5. Permitted Use of the Website

5.1 The User shall use the Website only for lawful purposes. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the User shall not:

6. Content; No Reliance
