CUSTOMER`S OBLIGATIONS
|

|
To enable the Supplier

Agreement the Customer shall:
|
| |
|
7.1.1
|

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

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.
|
|
7.5
|
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:
|
| |
|
7.5.1
|
The Supplier shall
have no liability in respect of
any delay to the completion of any
project;
|
|
7.5.2
|
If applicable, the
timetable for the project will be
modified accordingly;
|
|

|
The Supplier shall
notify the Customer at the same
time if it intends to make any claim
for additional costs.
|
|
 |

Specification Document or create an Addendum
document to express any agreed amendments.

services and price and any other terms
agreed between the parties.
|
|

|
The Customer may at any
time request alterations to the Specification
Document by notice in writing to the Supplier.

and any other terms already agreed between
the parties.
|
|
8.3
|
Where the Supplier gives
written notice to the Customer agreeing
to perform any alterations on terms different

period as may be agreed between the parties,
advise the Supplier by notice in writing
whether or not it wishes the alterations
to proceed.
|
|
8.4
|
Where the Supplier gives
written notice to the Customer agreeing
to perform alterations on terms different
to those already agreed between the parties,

|
WARRANTY
|
|
9.1
|

as from the date of delivery for a period
of 1 year the goods and all their component
parts, where applicable, are free from
any defects in design, workmanship, construction
or materials.

or otherwise, are hereby excluded in relation
to the goods and services to be provided
by the Supplier.
|
|
9.4
|
All work that falls validly
under the warranty shall be carried out
free of charge. Where the fault is with
a removable component, that part shall
be returned to Eco-watch where it will
be tested to determine whether the fault
is inherent and covered. Please also note
that your warranty may be voided by external
influences such as the inclusion of new
and possibly incompatible parts to the
system, and carrying out maintenance on
the equipment yourself where no training
has been undertaken.

 |
 |
|
10
|
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.
|
|
10.2
|
Where repairs, servicing
or any other chargeable maintenance requires
the Supplier to attend site to carry out
the works, the Supplier shall charge a
daily rate (to be pre-agreed by the Customer)
for the services.
|
|
10.3
|
Where any parts are replaced
or upgraded, that component part shall
carry a warranty under section 9 above.
The inclusion of a replacement part or
additional part does not under any circumstances
create a warranty in respect of the whole
or any other component parts of the said
equipment, not shall it create any liability
on the Supplier for the costs of retrieving
the equipment from situ in the event of
a fault occurring within the system/equipment
following a repair or servicing.
|
 |
 |
|
11
|
INDEMNIFICATION

|
In no event shall the Supplier
be liable to the Customer for any loss

had been made aware of the possibility
of the Customer incurring such a loss.
