Note, all customers will be informed of these charges via email and registered mail regarding the connection fees of their apartment, as mentioned above, during the first week of September 2009.
As per the Sale and Purchase Agreement clause no. 9: The Purchaser shall be responsible for and pay for Utilities' connection and consumption charges, and any property or local authority taxes levied, if at all, on the Unit from the Completion Date, meaning that: The client should pay the connection fees for all the utilities, the fees to be paid by First Qatar on behalf of all clients (End Users) for the whole building, to be collected from the end users as per the distributed area wise. The amount of the charges is not stated in the SPA and therefore, First Qatar did not breach its contractual obligations stated in the Sale and Purchase Agreement that was signed by both the client and the developer (First Qatar).
We would also like to publically announce that despite the current financial status, First Qatar will be paying ALL the connection fees for the amenities and common areas which include the following: recreational area, main entrance lobby, internal corridors, elevators, parking area, mezzanine floor.
