We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee to cover administrative costs if you cancel any service activation processes that have been initiated.

        4.3. Taxes and Outlay: Fees do not include Taxes or outlay including domain name acquisition fees, mobile app developer account fees, SIM card fees, Hardware installation and cabling services or additional services.

          5.1. The Agreement starts on the Effective Date and continues for 12 months, unless as otherwise stated in the Client Agreement (the “Initial Term”). It then auto-renews for 12-month periods (each a “Renewal Term” and “Current Term” means the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as the case may be) unless:

          (5.1.1.) you notify us of termination, in writing, at least 3 months before the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, in which case this Agreement shall terminate on the end of the Current Term; or

          (5.1.2.) we terminate as allowed under Section 5.

            The Initial Term together with any subsequent Renewal Terms shall constitute the “Term”.

            5.2. Termination under Section 5 does not affect your obligation to pay any Fees or charges due at termination. Those payment obligations survive termination of this Agreement

            5.3. We may at any time also terminate the Agreement with immediate effect by written notice to you without payment of any amount or penalty if:

            (5.3.1.) you commit a material breach of any provision of the Agreement, and for material breaches that can be remedied, you fail to remedy it within 14 days of receiving our notice specifying the breach and requiring remedy;

            (5.3.2.) despite Section 5.3.1, we may immediately suspend your access to the Services without notice if we believe you: (i) breached confidentiality or use restrictions; (ii) infringed third party rights; (iii) acted abusively or offensively; or (iv) did not pay Fees and charges.

            (5.3.7.) we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are likely to breach the Agreement in the future, or if there are indications that you may fail to fulfil your contractual obligations, or

            (5.3.8.) there are non-payment issues or persistent delays in discharging Fees or you display conduct or lack of payment history that makes us reasonably believe you will fail to pay the Fees and any charges.

              (each “Termination for Cause”).

              5.4. In the event of either Termination for Cause or any circumstances where a Customer terminates other than in accordance with Section 5.1 above, you will be liable to pay us termination compensation of the monthly average of the previous 6 months’ fees (or the monthly average for however long this Agreement has been in effect if less than six months) multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Term (the “Unpaid Fee Commitments”) together with any outstanding charges and Fees including with respect to Hardware within 5 days of the relevant termination event. You authorise us to deduct any Unpaid Fee Commitments and any outstanding charges and Fees, from sales processed by us.

              5.5. We may terminate the Agreement at any time without cause and without payment of any amount or penalty by giving not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to you.

              5.6. Without prejudice to Section 5.7 below, on the termination of the Agreement all rights granted to you under this Agreement will cease immediately (including your licence to use the Services) and you will cease all activities authorised by the Agreement.

              5.7. Termination of the Agreement does not affect rights or obligations accrued before termination or expiration. Obligations meant to survive termination continue in full force despite termination.

Warranty: we warrant that on delivery and for a period of six (6) months from delivery, the Hardware will conform in material respects with its description and be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship (the “Warranty”). We will repair or replace defective Hardware or refund its full price if: you notify us in writing of noncompliance with the Warranty within a reasonable time of discovery; you allow us to examine the Hardware or diagnose the issue and you return it to us at your cost, on request, with all original components. We have no liability for breach of Warranty if you further use Hardware after notifying us, if the defect results from us following your specifications, if you alter or repair without consent or improperly install, if it results from fair wear and tear including damage by your own customers, willful damage, negligence, or improper conditions, or if it differs from description due to regulatory compliance changes. If you send an item for Warranty repair and it is determined to be faulty due to reasons not covered by the Warranty, you will be responsible for the cost of shipping the Hardware to us and return shipping to you and the cost of evaluating the faulty Hardware. During Warranty repairs, replacement devices will not be provided while the faulty device is being repaired unless we decide otherwise at our sole discretion.

We will only be liable to you for the Hardware’s failure to comply with the Warranty to the extent set out in this Section 12.

                            12.9. Installation: If you decide to use our hardware installation services, you are responsible for following any guidance issued by us and ensuring the suitability and compliance of the installation site, including access, power, and connectivity. An assigned technician, whether internal or outsourced, will install the hardware at your specified location. Failure to have the premise available or prepared on arrival may incur additional charges. Additional fees may apply on a case-by-case basis in order to complete the installation works. Any necessary non agreed work including infrastructure or cabling modifications will incur additional charges and may result in the installation appointment being cancelled on arrival. Any such cancellation will not result in a refund and will need to be rebooked at your expense.
