1. Interpretation
In these Terms and Conditions, the following expressions will have the following meanings unless inconsistent with the context:
“Buyer”: the person(s), firm or company whose order for the Goods and Services are accepted by the Contractor, detailed above.
“Contract”: any contract between the Contractor and the Buyer for the sale and purchase of the Goods or supply of the Services formed in accordance with Condition 2.
“Goods”: any Goods which the Contractor supplies to the Buyer (including any of them or any part of them) under a Contract.
“Terms and Conditions”: the standard terms and conditions of sale set out in this document together with any special terms agreed in writing between the Buyer and the Contractor and attached to these terms and conditions.
“Contractor”: Drive iQ Ltd.
2. Formation and Incorporation
2.1 Subject to any variation under Condition 12.1, the Contract will be upon these Terms and Conditions, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions and all previous oral or written representations including any terms or conditions which the Buyer purports to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order or similar document, whether or not such document is referred to in the Contract.
2.2 Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Goods or Services will be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase Goods or Services upon these Terms and Conditions. The Contract is formed when the order is accepted by the Contractor. No contract will come into existence until the acceptance, either orally or in writing, of an order by the Contractor.
2.3 Any quotation is valid for a period of thirty (30) days only from its date, provided the Contractor has not previously withdrawn it.
2.4 The Contractor may cancel the Contract at any time prior to delivery or performance.
3. Description
The quantity and description of the Goods and/or Services will be as set out in the order form/specification. All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by the Contractor shall remain the property of the Contractor. They will not form part of the Contract and this is not a sale by sample.
4. Price and Payment
4.1 The price for the Goods and/or Services will be the price set out in the Contractor’s order form current at the date of acceptance of order and is exclusive of any costs of packaging and carriage, VAT and any other applicable sales tax or duty.
4.2 The Contractor may invoice the Buyer for the Goods on or at any time after delivery, or the Services on or at any time after performance commences, and payment is due within thirty (30) days of service of such invoice, or upon termination of the Contract, whichever occurs first. The Contractor may, in its absolute discretion, require payment to be made before the provision of any Goods or Services by the Contractor. Failure to pay within thirty days of invoice service will nullify any discounts agreed and the per user cost will revert to the full RRP of £25 per user.
4.3 All payments to be made by the Buyer under the Contract will be made in full without any set-off, restriction or condition and without any deduction for or on account of any counterclaim.
4.4 The Contractor may at any time suspend the provision of the Goods or the Services if the Buyer is late in making any payment due to the Contractor. If any sum payable under the Contract is not paid when due then, without prejudice to the Contractor’s other rights under the Contract, the sum will bear interest from the due date until payment is made in full, both before and after any judgement, at 3% per annum over National Westminster Bank plc base rate from time to time and the Contractor will be entitled to suspend deliveries of the Goods or performance of the Services until the outstanding amount has been received.
5. Delivery
5.1 The Goods shall be delivered, and the Services will be performed at the location agreed between the Buyer and the Contractor and as specified on the order form or at such location as otherwise agreed in writing between the Contractor and the Buyer.
5.2 The Contractor will use reasonable endeavours to deliver or perform each of the Buyer’s orders for the Goods and/or Services within the time agreed when the Buyer places an order and, if no time is agreed, then within a reasonable time, but the time of delivery or performance will not be of the essence.
6. Risk/Title
6.1 All Goods will remain the property of the Contractor until the price of such Goods has been paid in full (in cash or cleared funds).
6.2 Risk in the Goods will pass to the Buyer from the date of delivery, and last for a period of 12 months.
6.3 The Buyer’s right to possession will terminate immediately upon the occurrence of an event which would allow the Contractor to terminate the Contract under Condition 10.1.

Any liability that arises to the Contractor shall be limited to the Contract price.
7.5 Buyer agrees to indemnify, keep indemnified and hold harmless the Contractor from and against all costs (including the costs of enforcement), expenses, liabilities (including any tax liability), injuries, direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and like loss), damages, claims, demands, proceedings or legal costs (on a full indemnity basis) and judgements which the Contractor incurs or suffers as a consequence of a direct or indirect breach of negligent performance or failure or delay in performance by the Buyer of the terms of the Contract.

10. Termination
10.1 The Contractor may by written notice terminate the Contract immediately if the Buyer is in material breach of the Contract or enters into insolvency, bankruptcy, any arrangement with its creditors or any other arrangement or situation which has a like effect. Failure to pay any sums due in accordance with Condition 4.1 is a material breach of the terms of the Contract which is not capable of remedy.

The conditions which expressly or impliedly have effect after termination will continue to be in force notwithstanding termination.
