Terms & Conditions

• This is a preliminary quotation based on the initial site visit and is subject to verification by our Head Office. A final, approved digital copy will be shared after review.
• Any calculation or estimation errors found during verification may lead to a revision of the final quotation.
• The report is based on visual observations during the inspection and does not include hidden or inaccessible issues.
• The inspection and diagnosis are carried out using established technical methods and professional expertise, achieving an accuracy level of approximately 90% in identifying visible and accessible sources of defects. However, certain sources particularly those concealed within structural elements or inaccessible areas may remain undetected during the initial assessment. In such cases, a rule-out diagnostic procedure is proposed as a systematic and cost-effective method to narrow down and identify the hidden source. If seepage or related issues persist following the recommended repair works, it shall be deemed an indication of a possible concealed or secondary source that was not detectable during the initial inspection. The rule-out procedure will then be implemented to determine and address the underlying cause.
• We aim to provide simple and cost-effective solutions. Major repairs or civil modifications are only recommended when absolutely necessary.
• Treated areas may take up to a month to fully dry, depending on site conditions. Immediate results should not be expected.
• Dampness reduction depends on severity and conditions, with typical drying times of 2-4 weeks (mild), 4-8 weeks (moderate), and 2-3 months or longer (severe). These timelines may vary with site conditions, ventilation, and weather.
• If dampness does not reduce within the expected timeframe, the customer must report it to Cyond's engineer for reassessment and further diagnostics.
• Customers are expected to monitor the treated areas and inform us of any recurring issues.
• This quotation and report are valid for a limited period. Delays or changes in scope may lead to revisions.
• Any civil works like demolition or reconstruction must be confirmed in writing with our Head Office. Cyond is not responsible for issues caused by unapproved work.

• The final quotation will include all applicable terms, including payment, warranty (if any), and scope of service.
• Photos taken during inspection are for reference, internal documentation and training purpose only. They are not a complete record of site conditions.
• If third-party work is done without consulting us, our advice or warranty will stand void.
• By proceeding with the solutions, the customer agrees to the above terms and will cooperate during execution.
• If the inspection area or time exceeds the booked limits, the customer will be informed on-site, and additional charges will apply. Any extra requests beyond the original booking will only be considered if the engineer has no other scheduled appointments. Payment must be made on-site before proceeding with additional services.
• Slot booking is subject to availability and confirmation. Any booking fee paid is non-refundable but will be adjusted against inspection charges.
• Rescheduling or cancellation must be informed at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations within 48 hours will incur 50% of the inspection fee.
