To enable the Supplier to perform its obligations under this Agreement the Customer shall:

 

7.1.1

Co-operate with the Supplier;

7.1.2

Provide the Supplier with any information reasonably required by the Supplier;

7.1.3

Obtain all necessary permissions and consents which may be required before the commencement of the services; and

7.1.4

The Customer shall ensure compliance with any statutory requirements in relation to the project, in particular the Countryside & Rights of Way Act 2000 and any subsequent amendments and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and to secure any necessary licences there under.

7.1.5

Comply with such other requirements as may be set out in the Specification Document or otherwise agreed between the parties.

7.2

The Specification Document assumes that there is to be no difficulty laying any necessary cable or wireless infrastructure. The Customer shall ensure that all enquiries have been made as to the existence of utilities, associated pipes, lines, cables and wireless transmission equipment that could cause interference, and that any licence to attach or install equipment in sensitive locations or planning consent has been attained by the Customer prior to installation, to ensure that the Supplier is able to lay cable or set wireless transmission equipment in the correct location. If the existence of such utilities means the Specification Document must be altered or additional cost incurred due to the type or laying of cable provided, then the Supplier is not liable for any extra cost which shall be passed to the Customer.

7.3

At the discretion of the Supplier, the Customer shall be liable to compensate the Supplier for any expenses, including daily rate of engineer for these purposes fixed at £450.00 per day or part thereof, incurred by the Supplier as a result of the Customer's failure to comply with Clause 7.1 and 7.2

Without prejudice to any other rights to which the Supplier may be entitled, in the event that the Customer unlawfully terminates or cancels the goods and services agreed to in the Specification Document, the Customer shall be required to pay to the Supplier as agreed damages and not as a penalty the full amount of any third party costs to which the Supplier has committed and in respect of cancellations on less than five working days' written notice the full amount of the goods and services contracted for as set out in the Specification Document, and the Customer agrees this is a genuine pre-estimate of the Supplier's losses in such a case. For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer's failure to comply with any obligations under Clause 7.1 shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the goods and services and subject to the payment of the damages set out in this Clause.

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:

SERVICE/REPAIR CHARGES OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY

10.1

Where the Customer seeks to have an item sent back to the Supplier for repair or servicing outside of Warranty, a flat fee of £90.00 plus VAT shall be charged by the Supplier for inspection and/or servicing of the equipment and for this purpose, servicing includes any work carried out on the equipment such as cleaning, but does not include any additional parts to be replaced or upgraded and these shall be charged for accordingly.
