The Services provided by the Company are intended to restore or fix such Computer Files and restore them for use in the vehicle.

(4) In order to provide Services it will usually be necessary for the Customer to submit one or more files to the Company (by the means identified on the Website). Those files are then processed using the Company’s software and returned to the Customer by the same method by which they were delivered.

(5) The Company DOES NOT participate in the altering of any vehicle data by which the history of the Host Vehicle or any other motor vehicle may be altered or misrepresented in any way.

(7) The Services can only be applied to Computer Files that are from Host Vehicles as listed on the Website. If the Host Vehicle (make, model number, age) is not shown on the Company’s list then the Services may not be able to be provided. In such a case Customers are advised to utilise the Company’s Support Process.

(8) It is a condition of an agreement with the Customer that a Computer File supplied by the Company (including any copy of such a file) may not be made available to the public at large or to any section of the public at large. Such Files are intended only to be used in the Host Vehicle and for no other purpose.

(9) The Company deals with Customers who are usually possessed of a level of skill and experience in the operation of Computer Files in motor vehicles. The Services provided by the Company are not to be deemed to include any obligation on the Company to provide support and advice concerning the operation of a Computer File and the Company is entitled to regard persistent communications from a Customer requiring such help and advice as being an ‘Abuse of Service’.

(10) No Order which has been accepted by the Company may be cancelled by the Customer except with the agreement in writing of the Company and on terms that the Customer shall indemnify the Company in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs (including the cost of all labour and materials used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by the Company as a result of cancellation.

(1) Before being able to Order Services the Customer must create an Account with the Company. The Customer must give the identity of the business entity that is setting up the Account and the identity of the individual(s) authorised to operate the Account. It is a condition of any agreement between the Company and the Customer that the Customer shall only provide the Company with truthful and accurate information during the application for an Account or in any use of an Account.

(2) In order to operate the Account the Customer will need to purchase Points (using the method shown on the Website). The Points purchased are used as consideration for the purchase of Services and are recorded by the Company against the Customer’s Account. Where there are no Points standing to the credit of the Customer in its Account, or the Customer has insufficient Points to make the purchase, the Company shall have no obligation to provide Services.

(3) The price of Services ordered shall be the Company’s quoted price usually expressed by reference to a number of Points required as the consideration, or, where no price has been quoted (or a quoted price is no longer valid), the price listed on the Website as at the date of the agreement.

(4) The price of Services is exclusive of any applicable value added tax, which the Customer shall be additionally liable to pay to the Company.

(ii) to commit any offence of fraud in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.

For the purposes of this clause, ‘dormant’ shall mean that no login has been recorded against that Account during a continuous period of 2 years.

(8) Where a Customer has opened an Account and for so long as the Customer has not purchased any Services at all, the Company shall, on clear notification in writing, close the Account and cause a refund of the Points then standing to the credit of the Customer (if any).

(5) In the event that a Customer has made an agreement with the Company for Services to be applied to a Computer File, and the Services are not successfully applied to that File, the Customer shall utilise the Company’s Support Process system by following the instructions given on the Website. No refund of points shall be due unless and until the Customer has followed the Support Process.

(6) The Support Process is intended to resolve technical issues arising with regards to a Computer File or Files. If the Company is unable to resolve the issue so that the Services may successfully be applied to a Computer File, the Company shall notify the Client in writing and the agreement shall thereby be cancelled as respects that Computer File.

(7) A refund of points to the Customer’s account will be made if an agreement is cancelled under paragraph (5) above but not otherwise.

(b) that the File will be capable of operation in the Host Vehicle as though the computer in the Host Vehicle had been restored or reset to the condition it would have been in before the Computer File was originally damaged or corrupted; or

(c) that it will operate at all if the Customer has made any sort of modifications to the Computer File either before or after the Services are applied to the File.

(9) Further the Company does not give any warranty and it shall not be a condition of an agreement that the Services it supplies can make every Computer File Ready for Use and the Customer understands and agrees that if the Company finds that if, in the case of a Computer File submitted by the Customer, the Services cannot make the File Ready for Use, then the agreement will be cancelled and a full refund of any Points used by the Customer will be made.

(10) The Customer is responsible for:

(a) implementing sufficient procedures and virus checks (including anti-virus and other security checks) in order that any Computer File used in a motor vehicle is free of infection, viruses and / or other code that has contaminating or destructive properties; and
