4.2. In no event shall Kollect be liable to the Customer for damage suffered by the customer as a consequence of acts or omissions of third parties, service professionals or contractors.
4.3. Fair Usage Policy applies: Kollect reserve the right to suspend the services to the customer wholly or partially if the Bin(s) are an excessive weight (i.e. where the Customer is disposing in excess of their weight allowance of waste in the general waste Bin) or the contents of the Bin(s) exceed the capacity of the container (i.e. a Bin is regarded as overloaded when the lid of the Bin does not sit comfortably on the body of the Bin). Please note that an average general bin weighs 30kg. If your bin continually weights over this we will charge the customer 18 cent extra a kilo for bins that are over 30 KG. Don't worry we will inform you if this issue arises and try and help you to reduce your next collection weight. As of 30th September and in line with new legislation Kollect charge customers a set collection fee with restrictions on weight. Any customer who goes over our agreed waste band for general/ municipal waste is charged an extra per kilo price. This will encourage our customers to use the compost and recycling bins.
