3. SUPPLY OF SERVICES

3.1 The Supplier shall supply the Services to the Customer in accordance with these terms and the Web Sites in all material respects.

3.2 The Supplier shall use all reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates agreed between the parties and will endeavour to start the services within 30 days of the conclusion of this Agreement, but any such dates shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for performance of the Services. The Supplier shall not be liable for any loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the Services. For the avoidance of doubt the Equipment must be installed and working in order for the Services to be delivered.

3.3 The Supplier shall have the right to make any changes to the Services which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or safety requirement, or which do not materially affect the nature or quality of the Services, and the Supplier shall notify the Customer in any such event.

 

4. EQUIPMENT

The Equipment needed by the Customer in order for the Supplier to provide the Services can be purchased or rented by the Customer from the Supplier. The Customer and Supplier must enter into a separate agreement detailing the terms upon which the Equipment is to be purchased or rented.

 

5. PRICE AND PAYMENT

5.1 The price for the supply of the Service will be calculated using the following formula:
(([Number of Inputs] * [Number of Collections]) * £0.000175) + ([Number of Devices] * £0.10) + (£0.75) per day,
for the Initial Term although the Supplier reserves the right, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery or during the term of this Agreement, to increase the price of the Services to reflect any increase in the cost to the Supplier which is due to any factor beyond the control of the Supplier. The price of the Service will be reviewed upon the renewal of this Agreement following the Initial Term.

5.2 Prices are in Pounds Sterling (GBP) and are payable in monthly instalments or other agreed payment schedule as agreed between the Supplier and the Customer by electronic bank transfer to the bank account nominated by the Company from time to time. Subject to clause 5.4 below, the initial payment for the Services is due immediately upon the services commencing and subsequent payments will be payable on the same date each calendar month for the next 12 months or until expiry of this Agreement.

5.3 Prices for overuse of agreed threshold amounts are calculated at the standard rate detailed in 5.1. Charges are payable in monthly instalments or other agreed payment schedule as agreed between the Supplier and the Customer.

5.3 The price set out above shall exclude value added tax, and all costs or charges in relation to packaging, loading, unloading, carriage and insurance all of which amounts the Customer shall pay in addition when it is due to pay for the Service unless agreed otherwise between the Supplier and the Customer.

5.4 When a third party credit rating of the Customer is unacceptable to the Supplier the Supplier shall have the right to request payment in full prior to the provision of Services or at any other time as notified to the Customer in writing.

5.5 Third party credit reviews of all Customers takes place on a regular basis. Credit facilities offered to Customers are therefore subject to a pro-rata review process. Credit facilities shall consequentially increase or decrease without notice and credit facilities can also be withdrawn at any time. Prior history of the Customer having a credit facility with the Supplier does not imply an ongoing facility.

5.6 If the Customer is in default of the credit period as specified in 5.4 or as varied in writing between the Customer and Supplier, the Supplier shall be entitled to charge interest on overdue payments from the date when payment becomes due from day to day until the date of payment at a rate of 2% per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England.

5.7 If the Customer is in default of the credit period as specified in 5.4 or as varied in writing between the Customer and Supplier, the Supplier shall have the right to suspend all further delivery of Services until payment of all outstanding amounts has taken place. This shall not affect the Supplier’s rights or imply repudiation of the Customer order for the Service.

5.8 The Supplier shall have the right to invoice the Customer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of the Customer’s default of the payment terms specified in 5.4 or as varied on the Web Sites or as otherwise agreed between the Supplier and Customer in writing.

5.9 For the avoidance of doubt time for payment shall be of the essence of the contract.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer’s failure to comply with any obligations under Clause 6.1 shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the Service and subject to the payment of the damages set out in this Clause 6.3.

6.5 In the event that the Customer or any third party, not being a sub-contractor of the Supplier, shall omit or commit anything which prevents or delays the Supplier from undertaking or complying with any of its obligations under this Agreement, then the Supplier shall notify the Customer as soon as possible and:

10.3 If the Customer wants to make a warranty claim, the Customer must notify the Supplier of that fact within the 30-day period. In the first instance, the Supplier’s sole obligation shall be to remedy the defect. The remedy will take the form of eliminating the defect, providing a new release or demonstrating how to avoid the effects of the defect in a reasonable manner. The Customer must support the Supplier in locating any defect and its cause by: ensuring the cooperation of the customer’s staff; providing remote access to the software and the platform on which it functions; and, providing as detailed a description of the defect as possible.
