Declaration of Interests
Anthony Barton is the sole owner of Anthony Barton Independent Family Funeral Services Ltd. There are no business or financial interests in any price comparison website. No significant charitable donations have been made to any third party. No charitable contributions or gratuities have been paid to any third party. No substantial payments have been made to any third party that are unrelated to costs incurred or services provided on behalf of the company.
1.0 Estimates and Expenses
The estimate is an indication of the charges likely to be incurred based on the information and details we know at the date of the estimate. While we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the estimate, the charges are liable to alteration particularly where third parties change their rates or charges.
We may not know the amount of third-party charges in advance of the funeral; however, we give you the best estimate of such charges in the written estimate. The actual amount of the charges will be detailed and shown in the final account.
If you amend your instructions, we will require your written confirmation of the changes. We may need to make an extra charge in accordance with prices published in our current price list.
2.0 Payment Arrangements
We kindly request full payment be made 3 days before the funeral to allow arrangements to proceed, a nonpayment could lead to the funeral being cancelled.
If you fail to pay us in full on the due date which is stated on the estimate given to you at the time of arrangement we may charge you interest:
- at a rate of 5% above our bank’s Base Rate from time to time in force.
- calculated (on a daily basis ) from the date of our account until payment.
- compounded on the first day of each month; and
- before and after any Judgement (unless a court orders otherwise)
We may recover (under Clause 3) the cost of taking legal action to make you pay,
3.0 Indemnity
You are to indemnify us in full and hold us harmless from all expenses and liabilities we may incur (directly or indirectly including financing costs and including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) following any breach by you of any of your obligations under these Terms.
This means that you are liable to us for losses we incur because you do not comply with these Terms. For example, we will charge you an administration fee where we receive a cheque from you which is subsequently not honoured or if we write to you to remind you that an account is overdue. If we instruct debt collection agents, we may also recover from you the fees we incur. Further details of these charges are available on request. We may claim those losses from you at any time and, if we have to take legal action, we will ask the Court to make you pay our legal costs.
