9.2 Level Up Electrical warrants all workmanship in the completion of Services and the installation of Goods for a period of twelve months following the date of performance of such Services or installation of Goods.

(b) Cancel all or any part of any order of the Customer which remains unperformed.
12.5 Level Up Electrical will not be liable to the Customer for any loss or damage the Customer suffers as a result of any exercise by Level Up Electrical of its rights under this clause 12.

13.2 If any order for Goods and Services is cancelled under clause 13.1 or is cancelled by Level Up Electrical at any stage prior to delivery or performance of the Goods and Services the Customer shall remain liable to make payment for all work undertaken by Level Up Electrical up to the time of cancellation.
