Pricing and Availability

      1. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that all general descriptions of Services available from SmartSaaS correspond to the actual Services that will be provided to you, We are not responsible for any variations from these descriptions as the exact nature of the Services may vary depending on your individual requirements and circumstances.

      2. Where appropriate, you may be required to select the required Plan of Services.
      3. We neither represent nor warrant that such Services will be available at all times and cannot necessarily confirm availability until confirming your Order. Availability indications are not provided on the Website.

Orders and Provision of Services

      1. No part of this Website constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending to you an order confirmation email. Only once We have sent you an order confirmation email will there be a binding contract between SmartSaaS and you.
      2. Order confirmations will be sent to you before the Services begin and shall contain the following information:
        • Confirmation of the Services ordered including full details of the main characteristics of those Services;

      5. We aim to fulfill your Order within 7 working days or if not, within a reasonable period following your Order, unless there are exceptional circumstances. If we cannot fulfill your Order within a reasonable period, we will inform you at the time you place the Order by a note on the relevant web page or by contacting you directly after you place your Order. Time is not of the essence of the Contract, which means we will aim to fulfill your Order within any agreed timescales but this is not an essential term of the Contract and we will not be liable to you if we do not do so. 
      6. SmartSaaS shall use all Our reasonable endeavors to provide the Services with reasonable skill and care, commensurate with best trade practice.
