AGREED TERMS
1. General. Alcuris’ sale to Customer is limited to and expressly made conditional on Customer’s assent to the ASMA together with these Terms and Conditions of Sale, and any additional terms set forth. These Terms and Conditions govern all sales of product(s) and services by Alcuris to Customer regardless of whether Customer purchases through the medium of written purchase orders, telephonic orders, internet orders, electronic orders or via Alcuris solution partners or otherwise, and supersede and take precedence over any other Terms and Conditions including, but not limited to, Terms and Conditions which may appear in Customer’s order or in any document incorporated by reference in a Customer’s order. Any term or condition of Customer’s order which is in addition to, inconsistent with, contrary to or different from these Terms and Conditions is rejected and shall not become part of the contract unless explicitly referenced and agreed to in writing by an authorised executive of Alcuris at its principal office in the UK. Retention and/or acceptance by Customer of any product delivered by Alcuris, or payment by Customer of any invoice tendered hereunder, shall operate as acceptance by Customer of these Terms and Conditions. Alcuris’ failure to object to any provision contained in any communication from Customer shall not be construed as a waiver of these Terms and Conditions nor as an acceptance of any such provision.
2. Orders. By submitting an order to Alcuris, Customer agrees to be subject to the AMSA and these supplemental Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale in their entirety. All Alcuris acceptable orders must be bonafide commitments showing definite prices and quantities and mutually agreed to shipping and/or effective dates. Each order shall be a separate offer by the Customer to buy Products and or Services on these Terms and Conditions, which Alcuris shall be free to accept or decline at its absolute discretion.
3. Prices and Taxes. Prices quoted or stated do not include taxes, including, without limitations, sales, use or value added taxes, now or hereafter enacted, applicable to the products and or services sold in this transaction, which taxes may, in Alcuris’ discretion, be added by Alcuris to the sales price or may be billed separately, and which taxes will, in any event, be paid by Customer unless Customer provides Alcuris with a proper tax exemption certificate at the time the order is placed. Prices quoted for goods or posted on Alcuris’ website or otherwise presented are subject to change without notice. Acceptance of any order sent to Alcuris by the purchaser is entirely at the discretion of Alcuris.
4. Delivery and Shipment. All Alcuris telecare Products and Services will be tendered and shipped on a Free on Board (F.O.B.) basis. Customer bears all risk of loss or damage in transit and shall be responsible to file claims with any carrier for damage occurring during shipment. Alcuris is not responsible for damage or loss in transit. Alcuris will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver as specified herein but shall not be liable in any manner for any delays in delivery. Customer bears all risk of delays in delivery and waives all claims against Alcuris arising out of any such delays. Alcuris reserves the right to make delivery in instalments and back-order goods unless Customer expressly states otherwise in writing. All such instalments and back orders shall be separately invoiced and paid for when due, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any Alcuris telecare products, whether by instalment or back order or otherwise, shall not relieve Customer of its obligation to accept remaining deliveries.
Without prejudice to any other rights of Alcuris under the AMSA and these supplemental Standard Terms and Conditions, if the Customer fails to give all instructions reasonably required by Alcuris at the point of Order, or fails to provide all necessary documents, licences, consents and authorities for forwarding the Products and or Services or otherwise causes or requests delay, Alcuris may charge the Customer for all reasonable storage and other costs of whatever nature incurred or arising from such delay. A claim in respect of any defect or failure to comply with the specification or in respect of any delivery or instalment or any part of it shall not entitle the Customer to cancel or refuse delivery of or payment for any other delivery or instalment or any part of the same delivery or instalment. The Customer shall not be entitled to rely on any oral statement or representation made by Alcuris or by Alcuris’ employees, agents or servants and the Customer acknowledges that it will only rely on written data and specifications supplied by Alcuris. For the avoidance of doubt: risk in the Alcuris Products and or Services shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery. For this purpose, delivery is completed: (a) where F.O.B. delivery is performed by Alcuris, or (b) where Alcuris Products are collected by the Customer or (c) where the Customer first logs in to the Services, whichever is the sooner, and the risk of damage to or loss of the Alcuris Products will pass to the Customer at that time. Alcuris shall be under no obligation to effect insurance of the Alcuris Products once risk has passed to the Customer. On termination, Alcuris’ rights contained in this condition 4 shall remain in effect. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Alcuris, Customer will be responsible for and pay all delivery and freight charges, all taxes and duties, and all other shipping costs and expenses with respect to the delivery or return of any Alcuris Equipment purchased by the Customer.
5. Services. Subject to the Customer purchasing Services in accordance with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, Alcuris grants to the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to permit the Authorised Users to use the Products and or Services, the Software, and the Documentation solely for the Customer’s business or service operations.
The Customer undertakes that:
(a) it shall ensure that each Alcuris Connec+ User keeps a secure password in respect of the use of the Services and Documentation and shall keep such password confidential; (b) it shall permit Alcuris to audit the Services in order to verify compliance with these Terms and Conditions. Such audit may be conducted no more than once per quarter, at Alcuris’ expense, and this right shall be exercised with reasonable prior notice, in such a manner as not to substantially interfere with the Customer’s normal conduct of business; (c) if any of the audits referred to herein reveal that the Customer has underpaid Subscription Fees to Alcuris, then without prejudice to Alcuris’ other rights, the Customer shall pay to Alcuris an amount equal to such underpayment as calculated
in accordance with the prices set out in the current Alcuris Schedule of Prices within 10 Business Days of the date of the relevant audit; and (d) where a SIM is supplied by Alcuris to the Customer, it shall comply with the terms of any SIM End-User Terms.
The Customer shall comply with such acceptable usage policies as may be notified to it from time to time and shall not access, store, distribute or transmit any Viruses, or any material during the course of its use of the Services that: is unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, infringing, harassing or racially or ethnically offensive; facilitates illegal activity; depicts sexually explicit images; promotes unlawful violence; is discriminatory based on race, gender, colour, religious belief, sexual orientation, disability; or in a manner that is otherwise illegal or causes damage or injury to any person or property.
The Customer shall not: (a) except as may be allowed by any applicable law which is incapable of exclusion by agreement between the parties: (i) and except to the extent expressly permitted under these Terms and Conditions, attempt to copy, modify, duplicate, create derivative works from, frame, mirror, republish, download, display, transmit, or distribute all or any portion of the Alcuris Software and/or Documentation (as applicable) in any form or media or by any means; or (ii) attempt to reverse compile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise reduce to human-perceivable form all or any part of the Software; or (b) access all or any part of the Services and Documentation in order to build a product or service which competes with the Services and/or the Documentation; or (c) subject to the other terms herein, license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, display, disclose, or otherwise commercially exploit, or otherwise make the Services and/or Documentation available to any third party except the Authorised Users, or (d) attempt to obtain, or assist third parties in obtaining, access to the Services and/or Documentation, other than as provided under this condition; and the Customer shall use all reasonable endeavours to prevent any unauthorised access to, or use of, the Services and/or the Documentation and, in the event of any such unauthorised access or use, promptly notify Alcuris.
Alcuris shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to make the Alcuris Services available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but the Customer recognises that Alcuris is reliant upon the SIM Provider for the supply of SIMs and SIM services and the Cloud Service Provider for the provision of the Alcuris Services and shall not be required to provide a level of availability that is greater than the level provided to it by either the SIM Provider or the Cloud Service Provider (as the case may be). The Customer acknowledges that in measuring the availability of the Services, no regard shall be had to: (a) planned maintenance carried out following the provision to the Customer of at least 48 hours’ notice in advance; and (b) unscheduled maintenance whenever carried out, provided that Alcuris shall use reasonable endeavours to give the Customer at least 6 Normal Business Hours’ notice in advance. Alcuris will, as part of the Services and at no additional cost to the Customer, provide the Customer with the Support Services during Normal Business Hours. Alcuris may amend the Support Services in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time.
Alcuris further warrants that:
(a) the Services will be provided using reasonable care and skill. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any dates, periods or times specified in supply are estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for the performance of Alcuris’ obligations; and (b) Alcuris will supply all parts and materials necessary for the provision of the Services.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Alcuris (a) does not warrant that the Customer’s use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free; or that the Services, Documentation and/or the information obtained by the Customer through the Services will meet the Customer’s requirements; and (b) is not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or any other loss or damage resulting from the transfer of data over communications networks and facilities, including the internet, and the Customer acknowledges that the Services and Documentation may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of such communications facilities.
For the avoidance of doubt: Alcuris Service undertakings as expressed herein shall not apply to the extent of any non-conformance which is caused by use of the Services contrary to Alcuris’ instructions, or modification or alteration of the Services by any party other than Alcuris or Alcuris’ duly authorised contractors or agents. If the Services do not conform with the undertakings herein, Alcuris will, at its expense, use all reasonable commercial endeavours to correct any such non-conformance promptly, or provide the Customer with an alternative means of accomplishing the desired performance. Such correction or substitution constitutes the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the undertaking set out in condition herein.
6. Charges and Terms of Payment. The Customer shall pay the Subscription Fees for the Services and the purchase price of the Smart Hubs supplied to it to Alcuris in accordance with the terms of the AMSA and supplemental Standard Terms and Conditions herein and the Schedule of Prices. Payment shall be in UK Pounds Sterling (£GBP). Unless otherwise stated on Alcuris’ invoice, terms of payment shall be net thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.
If at any time Alcuris, in its sole discretion, determines that payment in advance would be prudent, Alcuris may require full or partial payment in advance, and if such requirement is not met, may withhold and or cancel the order or any part thereof and receive reasonable cancellation fees.
If Customer fails to pay the price or any other payment due hereunder Alcuris may recover, in addition to the price or payment and all costs of collection including, but not limited to reasonable legal fees, interest thereon at an annual rate equal to 3% over the then current base lending rate of National Westminster Bank PLC from time to time, commencing on the due date and continuing until fully paid.

The Customer shall, upon receipt of an Alcuris invoice be entitled to connect the Products in its possession and use the Services in accordance with the Connection Procedure and the other terms contained in the Agreement.
The Customer may resell Alcuris Products in the ordinary course of its business (but not otherwise) before Alcuris receives payment for such Alcuris Products. However, if the Customer resells any Alcuris Products before that time: (i) it does so as principal and not as Alcuris’ agent; and (ii) title to such Alcuris Products shall pass from Alcuris to the Customer immediately before the time at which resale by the Customer occurs.
The Customer’s right to possession of an Alcuris Product before ownership has passed to it shall terminate immediately if any of the circumstances set out herein arise or if the Customer encumbers or in any way charges an Alcuris Product, or if the Customer fails to make any payment to Alcuris on the due date. Where such circumstances arise, Alcuris may (without prejudice to any part of its other rights) recover or resell the Alcuris Product or any of them and the Customer grants Alcuris, its agents and employees an irrevocable licence to enter any premises where the Alcuris Products are or may be stored in order to remove them.

Products Not Manufactured by Alcuris; Warranties.
Alcuris provides no warranty of any kind to the Customer for products supplied by it to a Customer which are not manufactured by Alcuris. The Customer must look solely to the 3rd Party manufacturer’s warranty, if any, for such products. Customer agrees that the 3rd Party manufacturer’s warranty supplants Alcuris’ limited warranty and that Alcuris’ limited warranty shall not be applicable to products manufactured by anyone other than Alcuris. 3rd Party Manufacturer warranty policy information may be requested from the relevant manufacturer.
10. Limitation of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ALCURIS’ LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONTRACT, PRODUCTS AND OR SERVICES SOLD BY ALCURIS, OR ALCURIS’ PERFORMANCE OR ALLEGED FAILURE TO PERFORM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS, OR IN RESPECT OF THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED 1 POUND GBP AND IN NO EVENT SHALL ALCURIS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNATIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROCESS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR LOSS OF GOODWILL.

If Alcuris agrees to the Customer cancelling an order, the Customer will indemnify Alcuris against all losses (which may include the profits that Alcuris would have made from the order had it not been cancelled) suffered by Alcuris arising out of such cancellation. Alcuris shall reserve the right without penalty or payment to cancel any order accepted, or to refuse or delay the shipment thereof: (i) if Customer fails to make promptly any payment due Alcuris or to meet any other reasonable requirements established by Alcuris, (ii) if any act or failure to act of Customer delays Alcuris’ performance, or (iii) if Customer’s credit becomes impaired. In such event, Alcuris shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for its reasonable and proper cancellation charges.
12. Notice and Returns. Any claims for defective product(s) and any claims resulting from freight shortages must be made in writing by Customer within seven (7) days of receipt of such product(s).

In addition, Customer must promptly return any rejected product(s) to Alcuris, accompanied by a valid return authorisation obtained from Alcuris. For any valid claim timely made, Alcuris, at its option, may repair product(s) or replace product(s) with an identical or substantially similar product(s).
13. Confidentiality. Pricing schedules, quotes and any other discounts contained in any Alcuris proposal documentation or commercial communication with the Customer are considered Confidential Information of Alcuris and Customer shall not discuss with or disseminate such Confidential Information to any third-party without the prior written authorisation of Alcuris.
14. Intellectual Property Indemnification; Products Manufactured by Alcuris Only. Alcuris will indemnify and defend Customer against any claim that a product of Alcuris’ own manufacture sold to Customer, or any part thereof, constitutes a direct infringement of any patent, provided that such alleged direct infringement shall consist only in the use of such product alone and not as a part of or in combination with any other devices and/or parts not provided by Alcuris and provided further that: (i) Customer gives Alcuris immediate written notice of any claim of alleged infringement, (ii) Customer is not in breach of its contract with Alcuris and (iii) Alcuris is given authority, information and assistance by Customer for the defence of same. If at any time Alcuris determines there is a substantial question of infringement, Alcuris may, in addition to the foregoing, and in its sole discretion, either (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using and selling the product or part; (ii) replace it with a non-infringing product or part of its choosing ; or (iii) refund the purchase price thereof to the Customer. Alcuris shall retain control over any defence proffered hereunder, including the selection of defence counsel. The foregoing is subject to the limitations of liability in the AMSA and these Terms and Conditions and states the Customer’s exclusive remedy for patent infringement or infringement of any other intellectual property right. Products manufactured to a Customer’s designs or specifications are not warranted against patent or any other intellectual property infringement and are excluded from this indemnity and defence obligation. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Alcuris harmless from and against any claim that a product manufactured to the Customer’s designs or specifications, or any part thereof, constitutes an alleged infringement of any patent or any other intellectual property right.
For the avoidance of doubt, intellectual property in the firmware contained within Alcuris Product shall remain within the ownership of Alcuris or its suppliers. Alcuris hereby also grants to the Customer a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty free licence to use any elements of such firmware.
15. Changes.

No Alcuris Product and or Service sales, marketing or specification collateral forms part of the Agreement or give rise to any independent or collateral liability of any nature whatsoever on the part of Alcuris and Alcuris shall be under no liability whatsoever for inaccuracies, changes or alterations to specification, features, dimensions, or measurements given, quoted, or made by it.
Alcuris shall be entitled to increase the fees payable in respect of additional Alcuris Products purchased pursuant to the terms herein upon sixty (60) days’ prior notice of price increase to the Customer.
