General
Property Access and Owner/Tenant Responsibility During On-Site Work
Cancellation of Scheduled PPM Appointments
If a customer confirms a schedule for a PPM/Maintenance Service and cancels an appointment less than 72 hours before the scheduled date/time, the PPM or Service Maintenance will be considered ‘consumed’. Rescheduling a ‘consumed’ PPM/Maintenance will incur an additional administration fee of AED 200 to cover the lost time of the designated PPM team.
Liability for Losses
In the highly unlikely event that the representatives of NPSM have given cause for suspicion that the customer’s personal belongings have been interfered with, or removed from the property, and this is brought to the attention of the management, NPSM will conduct a full investigation to ascertain the facts. NPSM shall not be held responsible or liable for any losses of personal items/personal property, should the investigation find that there is no evidence that the loss is attributable to NPSM. Tenants/owners should always secure high-value items.
Callout Response Times
NPSM is dedicated to responding to both emergency and non-emergency callouts within the response times specified in the contract. However, NPSM will not be held liable for any damage (including water or fire damage) to the customer’s property that occurs between the time the callout request is received and the arrival of the NPSM team.
System/Equipment Malfunction
If a system or equipment malfunctions, NPSM will investigate whether the issue is related to our work. If our work is found responsible, NPSM will repair the equipment at no cost to the customer. However, if NPSM recommends replacing a part or unit (such as an AC motor) and the customer insists on a repair instead, and the unit subsequently fails, NPSM will not be liable for any malfunction or resulting damage to the property or assets.
Use of Scaffold or Electric Lifting Equipment and Safety Issues
The use of scaffolding or lifting equipment necessary to access assets beyond the reach of standard ladders will incur an additional fee unless explicitly included in the contract. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure clear access for NPSM to set up scaffolding or lifting equipment. We prioritize safety and will not attempt access if there are safety concerns that could endanger our staff. NPSM will assist the customer in finding a solution to access such inaccessible locations.
Materials
Materials are subject to availability in the UAE. Items needed to complete a job will be charged at cost price plus 15%.
Provision of Incorrect Information by the Customer
If the information on the property provided by the customer is incorrect, eg. the number of rooms in the property, the non-inclusion of relevant maid or driver rooms etc., NPSM will have the right to revise the price charged to the customer accordingly.
Cancellation of a Contract by a Customer
The term of this Agreement shall be for one year beginning upon approval by both Parties Effective Date (the “Initial Term) until terminated.
Contract Auto-Renewal
Upon expiration, this agreement shall automatically renew for a period of one year.
Cancellation of a Contract by NPSM
Failure to promptly settle invoice charges may result in either suspension or discontinuation of all services provided in the maintenance contract.
Services to Customers for Expired Contracts
NPSM will provide emergency callouts for up to one week after the contract expires, provided we receive written confirmation from the client of their intention to renew the contract.
Expiry of Contracts
After the expiry date of the contract, NPSM cannot be held responsible for the condition of the assets at the customer’s premises.
Payment/Legal Terms
Payment for an annual contract will be made through debit or credit card, bank transfer, cash or cheque:
Payment for materials or additional works not covered by the contract can be through any of the following options:
If the customer disputes any amount on the invoice, they must notify NPSM in writing within 5 working days of receiving the invoice. Both parties will cooperate in good faith to promptly resolve the issue.
Failure to notify NPSM of any dispute in accordance with this clause will deem the invoice valid and properly presented unless the customer later proves a clear error in NPSM’s calculation of amounts owed. Except for any service credits owed to the client, the client agrees to pay NPSM’s invoices in full, without set-off, deduction, or counterclaim.
If any amount owed to NPSM under this agreement is not paid in full or by the due date, NPSM reserves the right (without prejudice to any other rights or remedies) to suspend the performance of its obligations under this agreement. NPSM will provide at least 5 working days’ notice to the customer, stating the reasons for the intended suspension. This right to suspend performance will cease once the customer makes full payment of the outstanding amount.
This Contract is subject to the laws of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Any dispute arising out of, or in connection with this Contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity, interpretation or termination, shall be referred for amicable settlement by a nominated senior representative of each Party within ninety (90) days of a Party first giving notice of the dispute. If amicable settlement is not reached within such time period (or longer period agreed in writing by the Parties), it shall be referred to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the DIFC. In accepting this contract requesting our services, each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the DIFC Courts and waives any objection it may have to disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract being heard in the Courts of Dubai International Financial Centre, on the grounds that it is an inconvenient forum.
