THE AGREEMENT

Terms and Conditions

1. Agreement and Schedules

1.1 This Agreement sets out the terms upon which we will hire the Goods and provide the Services to you.

1.2 We and you may enter into Schedules from time to time. Each Schedule shall constitute a separate and independent contract for the hiring of the Goods and provision of the Services referred to in it and shall incorporate the terms of this Agreement. Where there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Schedule then the terms of the Schedule shall prevail.

1.3 The definitions set out in clause 33 below apply to this Agreement and each of the Schedules.

2. Commencement and Duration

2.1 This Agreement and each Schedule shall come into force on the date of their signature by us. This Agreement shall remain effective as long as any Schedule is in effect. The hiring of the Goods under each Schedule shall commence on the date of delivery of the Goods to you in accordance with clause 4 and will continue thereafter for the Minimum Term, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and will automatically continue after the expiry of the Minimum Term until either party terminates the hiring of the Goods and the provision of the Services in accordance with clause 2.2 (the Minimum Term and any period for which the hiring continues after that being the “Period”). On expiry or termination of the hiring of the Goods for any reason, we shall proceed to a Disconnection and you shall return the Goods to us in accordance with clause 8.

2.2 Either you or we may terminate the hiring of the Goods and/or the provision of the Services under this Agreement at the end of the Minimum Term or at any time thereafter subject to providing the other party with at least 30 days written notice of such termination.

2.3 You may terminate the hiring of the Goods and the provision of the Services under any Schedule prior to the expiry of the relevant Minimum Term by giving us 30 days’ written notice to terminate, returning the Goods to us in accordance with clause 8 on the expiry of such notice and paying us all sums calculated under clause 10 on the expiry of such notice (calculated as if the hiring of the Goods had been terminated by us on the date of expiry of such notice). The hiring of the Goods and the provision of the Services will not terminate until you have complied with all your obligations under this clause 2.3.

2.4 You may terminate the provision of the Services only under any Schedule prior to the expiry of the relevant Minimum Term in accordance with clause 29.1. If you do so, the hiring of the Goods under the Schedule will continue and you must continue to pay the Hire Charges for the Goods to us in accordance with this Agreement.

3. Payments

3.1 In the event that you have use of the Goods prior to the Start Date you will be charged a Daily Payment Charge for each day between the Delivery Date and the Start Date. The aggregate of the Daily Payment Charge will be payable in advance on the date of this Agreement and/or any Schedule. You must promptly pay us the Payments set out in the Agreement and each Schedule and all other sums payable and to become payable under this Agreement and/or any Schedule. Subject to clause 3.2, all sums payable by you must be paid in full on the due dates for payment without prior demand and without any deductions, withholdings, counterclaims or set-off. Punctual payment of all monies due to us shall be of the essence of this Agreement and each Schedule. If you are compelled by law to make any deduction in respect of the Payments or any other sums due under this Agreement and/or any Schedule you will ensure that such deduction does not exceed the minimum liability thereof and will promptly pay to us such further amounts as are necessary in order that the net amounts received by us are equal to the original amounts agreed to be paid by you under this Agreement and/or the relevant Schedule.

3.2 If we fail to provide the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or any Schedule (each a “Service Default”), then you will be entitled to give 30 days’ written notice requiring us to remedy the Service Default and to perform any Services which we have failed to perform. If we fail to do so, then you may request us to stop providing the relevant Services under the applicable Schedule. In such event, the relevant Services will be cancelled and we will reduce each remaining Payment due under the Schedule by the amount which we certify is attributable to the provision of the Services (“Service Charge”) and you may appoint a replacement service provider to provide the Services. The amount of the Service Charge will be notified by us to you at the relevant time.

3.3 You acknowledge and agree that Clause 3.2 sets out your sole rights and remedies if a Service Default occurs or if the provision of the Services under a Schedule is terminated under clauses 29.1 or 29.2 (“Service Termination”). You will not be entitled to treat a Service Default or a Service Termination as a repudiation of this Agreement and/or any Schedule, or to terminate this Agreement and/or any Schedule if a Service Default or Service Termination occurs. You must continue to pay each Payment excluding the Service Charge element (“Hire Charge”) to us in accordance with clause 3.1 notwithstanding the occurrence of any Service Default or Service Termination.

3.4 You must continue to pay the Hire Charge element of the Payments to us even if the Goods are not working for any reason and/or during any period that the Services are Suspended or are otherwise unavailable (including but not limited to any period during which network coverage is limited or unavailable).

3.5 You acknowledge that we may assign the benefit of this Agreement and/or any Schedule to a third party (“Assignee”) in order to finance the hiring of the Goods to you. You acknowledge that the Assignee is not responsible for the provision of the Services or the performance of any our other obligations under this Agreement and/or any Schedule, and accordingly you agree that you shall pay the Hire Charges to the Assignee in accordance with clause 3.1 notwithstanding the occurrence of any Service Default or Service Termination and notwithstanding any breach of our obligations under this Agreement and/or any Schedule.

3.6 You shall pay interest on all overdue sums under this Agreement and/or any Schedule calculated on a daily basis from the due date for payment until the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at the rate of 5 % per year over Finance House Base Rate from time to time.

3.7 All payments due to us under this Agreement and/or any Schedule must be made by Direct Debit. You shall pay us an administration charge of £4.00 plus VAT for each payment you make that is not paid by Direct Debit or returned unpaid. If we agree in writing to you making payments by post, any payments made by post will be at your risk.

3.8 You shall pay to us VAT on all Payments and any other sums due under this Agreement and/ or any Schedule that attract the same at the prevailing rate when such Payments and/or other sums are due for payment.

4. Delivery and Acceptance of Goods

to you. Subject to clause 4.2, you shall bear the risk of loss or damage to the Goods from the time the delivery is made to you. We are unable to exchange the Goods once delivery has been made to you and you have accepted the Goods in accordance with clause 4.2.

4.2 You shall notify us in writing within 5 days of your receipt of the Goods of any defect in the Goods or if our delivery is incorrect, failing which it shall be conclusively presumed that the Goods are complete, in good working order and condition, fit for the purpose for which they are required and in every way satisfactory to you. We shall replace all Goods which are lost or stolen prior to delivery to you free of charge and as soon as is reasonably practicable. Without prejudice to the above, if the Goods are acceptable then you must sign a certificate of acceptance in respect of the Goods and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on you in confirming that the Goods are satisfactory and accepted by you. The date specified in the certificate of acceptance shall be the deemed “Delivery Date” of the Goods.

4.3 We will not be responsible for any failure or delay in the delivery of the Goods by any third party.

5. Use and Care of the Goods

You shall not, and shall ensure that End Users do not, tamper with or attempt to repair or service the Goods or allow any party other than us to do so. Any attempt to do this may invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.

Before exercising this right, we shall notify you of our intention to do so where this is reasonably practicable, allowing an opportunity to remedy the alleged breach (where it is capable of remedy); otherwise we shall notify you as soon as reasonably practicable after the Suspension. This right of Suspension will only apply during the period of breach, although re-instatement of the Service may be subject to the payment of a re-Connection charge. You must continue to pay the Hire Charges to us in accordance with clause 3.1 above notwithstanding any Suspension of the Services from time to time.

14.5 Each SIM may only be used in the relevant Goods which are enabled for Services and are authorised by us for Connection to our network. Any attempt to use the SIM in other equipment may result in serious damage to the equipment and may prevent you from being able to use it, including the making of emergency Calls. In these instances, we or any network provider are not responsible for any such damage or usage problems.

15. Services and Coverage

15.1 Once you are Connected and Activated, we shall use reasonable endeavours to provide you with the Services and to ensure the security of your communications at all times. However, due to the nature of mobile technology, it is impossible to provide a fault-free service and it is always possible that the quality or coverage may be affected at times.

16.2 Where you take the MultiNet Service, should coverage on our Primary Access Network be unavailable at any time, your SIM Card will automatically pick up Alternative Access Networks as may be available in your location. Should you be on a call at the time the call will terminate whilst your SIM Card connects to an Alternative Access Network. Where coverage on our Primary Access Network becomes available again your SIM Card will automatically revert to this network, this will not happen whilst you are on a call unless coverage on the Alternative Access Network becomes unavailable. We do not guarantee you will always have access to an Alternative Access Network and this is subject to coverage available in your location at the time. There may be a delay while your SIM Card connects to either our Primary Access Network or an Alternative Access Network.

17.2 We shall endeavour to keep all such disruptions to a minimum and shall give you notice of such disruptions where reasonably practicable.

(i) we reasonably believe you have provided us with false or misleading details about yourself;

This Data Protection Notice aims to give you information on how your personal data (i.e., information which directly or indirectly identifies you) are processed by us. For the purposes of EU data protection laws, we are a data controller.

This notice is supplemental to the data protection processing notice provided before your proposal for finance was submitted. Some aspects of the processing set out in this notice were covered by that earlier notice, but others are only relevant now that your application for finance has been approved in principle and we intend to enter into an agreement with you. Further details of how we will manage your data can be found at www.communicatebetter.co.uk/privacy

Data That May Be Collected

We may collect certain personal data with respect to you as a customer, including, without limitation your name, address, date of birth, contact details, credit reference data, financial and employment details, banking and credit card details, and details of your business. We collect some of this data from third parties, for example credit reference agencies.

Where a corporate entity is entering into this contract we will collect personal data about the individuals who are directors and shareholders of the business from credit reference agencies where this data is held publicly, such as at Companies House. This notice also applies to the processing of such personal data and use of the word ‘you’ in this notice will encompass such individuals.

We may process sensitive personal data (including, for example, information revealing an individual’s physical or mental health). Where sensitive personal data are processed we will obtain your explicit consent for the processing.

We will use your personal data for: provision of products and services, credit and AML risk assessment, assessing ongoing credit performance, recoveries, collections, insurance administration, profiling for marketing purposes, market research and product development, statistical analysis, marketing, fraud prevention and detection and otherwise as necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations and/or codes of practice. The processing of personal data may be necessary for the performance of a contractual relationship, compliance with a legal obligation, or where it is in our legitimate interests, or those of a company within any group of companies either now or in the future of which we are a member.

Disclosure to Certain Third Parties

We may disclose certain personal data: (i) within any group of companies either now or in the future of which we are a member and to other affiliates in that group; (ii) to our suppliers, professional advisors and service providers (including, information technology systems providers and recovery agents); (iii) to courts, governmental and non-governmental regulators and ombudsmen; (iv) to fraud prevention agencies and law enforcement agencies; (v) to any third party that acquires, or is interested in acquiring, all or part of our assets or shares, or that succeeds us in carrying on all or a part of our business, whether by merger, acquisition, reorganization or otherwise; and (vi) as otherwise required or permitted by law.

The personal information we have collected will be shared with fraud prevention agencies who will use it to prevent fraud and money-laundering and to verify your identity. If fraud is detected you could be refused certain services, finance or employment. Further details of how your information will be used by us and these fraud prevention agencies, and your data protection rights can be found on our website at www.communicatebetter.co.uk

In order to process your application, we will perform credit and identity checks on you with one or more credit reference agencies (“CRAs”).

This will include information from your credit application and about your financial situation and financial history.

• Verify the accuracy of the data you have provided to us;

• Prevent criminal activity, fraud and money laundering;

• Manage your account(s);

• Trace and recover debts; and

• Ensure any offers provided to you are appropriate to your circumstances.

We will continue to exchange information about you with CRAs while you have a relationship with us. We will also inform the CRAs about your settled accounts. If you borrow and do not repay in full and on time, CRAs will record the outstanding debt. This information may be supplied to other organisations by CRAs. When CRAs receive a search from us they will place a search footprint on your credit file that may be seen by other lenders.

If you are making a joint application, or tell us that you have a spouse or financial associate, we will link your records together, so you should make sure you discuss this with them, and share with them this information, before lodging the application.
