Utility Report Terms & Conditions
1. Disbursements
1.1
Several Utility Companies charge either for carrying out a search to determine whether they have any plant in the area or for providing plans.
These charges are included in the cost of Utility Essentials, Utility Premium and Utility Fast-track Reports and are not charged as an additional cost.
Utility Singles Reports do not include disbursement charges. These will be charged separately to the client at cost. The client will be made aware of any applicable charges before the purchase is finalised.
1.2
The Utility Companies that make a charge, or the charges themselves, may be changed or updated without notification to the client.
2. Turnaround Times
2.1
Whilst every effort is made to produce reports as quickly as possible, we are reliant on Utility Companies to provide the relevant plans and/or data.
Depending on the product purchased, reports are generally completed within approximately 5 to 15 working days.
2.2
No guarantees can be made regarding the time taken to complete the report.

What I changed: I’ve primarily reformatted the original into clearer web headings, paragraphs and lists, with only light grammatical clean-up. Because this is legal wording, I’ve deliberately avoided substantially rewriting or simplifying the liability clauses.
