Legal
Terms of Service
These terms outline the general conditions for using Merribels
Santos Company Limited cleaning and detailing services. By booking
or requesting a service, you agree to these terms to the extent
they apply to your booking.
Quotes and Service Requests
Service quotes, availability, and timing are confirmed after we
review your request, vehicle details, location, condition, and
preferred schedule.
Quotes may be based on the information you provide before we
inspect the vehicle. If the actual vehicle condition, access
requirements, or requested scope is materially different, we may
revise the quote or recommend a different service before work
starts.
Pricing
Listed prices may be starting prices only. Final pricing can vary
based on vehicle size, condition, service location, selected
package, extra care requirements, and any additional work agreed
before service begins.
If a deposit, booking fee, travel fee, or other charge applies,
we will tell you before confirming the booking.
Bookings, Access, and Timing
Customers are responsible for making sure the vehicle is available
at the agreed place and time and that we have safe, practical
access to complete the work. Delays caused by access issues, site
restrictions, safety concerns, or severe weather may require the
service to be postponed or rescheduled.
Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for:
- providing accurate booking and vehicle information;
- removing valuables and personal items before service;
- ensuring safe and reasonable access to the vehicle;
- telling us about delicate, damaged, modified, or high-risk surfaces;
- telling us about existing electrical, paint, trim, or interior issues that may affect the service.
Service Results
We aim to deliver a careful, professional finish. Some stains,
odours, scratches, paint defects, wear, or previous damage may not
be fully removable through cleaning or detailing.
We do not guarantee a particular cosmetic outcome where the
vehicle condition, surface age, prior repairs, embedded
contamination, or pre-existing defects limit what can reasonably
be achieved.
Changes and Cancellations
If you need to change or cancel a booking, please contact us as
early as possible. We may need to reschedule services because of
weather, site access, safety concerns, or operational reasons.
Unless we agree otherwise, a change-of-mind cancellation does not
automatically entitle a customer to a refund. Where a booking is
cancelled at short notice or after costs have already been
committed, we may charge a reasonable fee or retain a reasonable
portion of any deposit to cover actual loss, to the extent
permitted by law.
Payments
Payment terms, due dates, and accepted payment methods will be
confirmed with the booking or invoice. Late or unpaid amounts may
delay future bookings or the release of related service records.
Liability and Limits
Merribels Santos Company Limited is not responsible for pre-existing
damage, normal wear, hidden defects, unsecured personal items, or
issues caused by inaccurate information provided before service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are also not
responsible for loss resulting from factors outside our reasonable
control, including weather, third-party actions, site conditions,
or latent faults in the vehicle.
Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit any rights
a consumer may have under New Zealand law, including the Consumer
Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 where those
laws apply.
Website Information
Website content, package descriptions, and example pricing are for
general information only and may be updated from time to time.
Final service scope and price are confirmed directly with us.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The latest version
published on this website will apply to future bookings unless we
agree otherwise in writing.
