Basis Of Sale

19. Any quotation or estimate of Fees (as defined below) is valid for a maximum period of 30 days from its date unless we expressly withdraw it at an earlier time.

Business premises means immovable retail premises where we carry on business on a permanent basis or, in the case of movable retail premises, on a usual basis.
