1. Qualification for Services. EROAD (either prior to making the Services available to Customer or while Customer is accessing the Services and whether the Services are supplied in a bundle with the Hardware or not):
  - (a) may perform credit checks on Customer or the directors or business partners of Customer. Customer (and the directors or business partners of Customer) authorizes EROAD to perform credit checks, and Customer warrants that it has the authority of Customer’s directors or business partners to provide their details to EROAD for the purpose of performing credit checks. Customer will supply complete, accurate information for the purposes of any credit check. EROAD may refuse to provide its Hardware or Services as the result of a credit check or request a bond.

Payment of the Bond does not discharge Customer’s obligation to pay to EROAD the monthly Fees. EROAD may draw down on the Bond at any stage for any breach of the Terms or Agreement, including where Customer fails or refuses to pay EROAD’s Fees or damages the Hardware. Failure to pay the Bond is a breach of these Terms.

  - (a) will make the Services available to Customer; and
  - (b) grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services via the Applications or Website, on these Terms.
3. Customer Support. Customer support is a key focus of EROAD. EROAD provides a number of self-service customer support channels which are detailed on the Website. EROAD’s customers have found that these self-service customer support channels are the most efficient way of diagnosing and resolving concerns customers have with EROAD’s Hardware or Services. If Customer is unable to resolve their concerns via these channels, Customer can contact EROAD. EROAD or a third party engaged by EROAD will provide a reasonable level of advice by remote means on how to remedy any problem with the Services and Hardware.
FEES AND PAYMENT
1. Invoicing and payment of Price and Fees. EROAD issues its invoices for Price and Fees to Customers monthly in advance. The first invoice is issued by EROAD on the Commencement Date of this Agreement and will contain the installation fees, any additional fees incurred under clause 4.6 and the Price if the Customer is purchasing the Hardware.
  
  The second invoice is issued at the earlier of:
  - (a) 30 days from the date that the first unit of Hardware is dispatched to Customer in order to provide Customer with time to have the Hardware installed. The Customer does not pay
  - (b) The date that the first Hardware unit is installed in a Vehicle.
  The second invoice to Customer will contain:
  - (a) for Customers that purchase the Hardware, the Fees for the following month’s use of the Service; or
  - (b) The date that the first Hardware unit is installed in a Vehicle.
  Following the issue of the first invoice, EROAD will continue to issue invoices to Customer for the Fees on a monthly basis. All Fees and Prices contained in the invoice are payable within 14 days of the invoice being issued. Customer will pay the Fees in the manner specified in the invoice or as otherwise listed on the Website.
2. Review of Fees. EROAD reserves the right to review the use of its Services by the Customer and EROAD can invoice the Customer, and the Customer will pay, for any use of the Services by the Customer not currently being paid for.
3. Minimum Contract Term. If Customer terminates the Agreement, ceases renting the Hardware or accessing the Services during the Minimum Contract Term, then Customer must pay EROAD an early termination fee for each unit of Hardware and the associated Services specified in the Agreement unless the Agreement says otherwise. The early termination fee is an amount equal to the total amount of Fees that would have been payable by Customer for each unit of Hardware and the associated Services specified in the Agreement for the remainder of the Minimum Contract Term had the Agreement not been terminated or had Customer not ceased renting the Hardware or accessing the Services (the Early Termination Fee).
4. Account Suspension and Reconnection. If Customer has purchased the Hardware and the Minimum Contract Term has expired, Customer may choose to suspend its use of the Services for the Hardware unit on giving EROAD 30 days’ written notice. EROAD will suspend the Services and cease charging the associated Fees for the Services for the Hardware unit. Customer may reconnect the Services for the Hardware unit by giving EROAD [10] days’ written notice requesting activation and paying a Hardware reconnection fee for each Hardware unit (the Reconnection Fee). The Reconnection Fee is $100 per unit up to a maximum of $1,500 for all Hardware units connected in a calendar month. Upon receiving written notice of a request for reconnection from Customer, EROAD will invoice Customer for the Reconnection Fee and upon receipt of the Reconnection Fee, EROAD will reconnect the Services for the Hardware unit within 7 days and begin to charge the Customer for the Fees as set out at clause 4.1.
5. Account Activation Fee. To activate the Services Customer must pay EROAD an account activation fee. If at any time the Customer breaches the Terms of the Agreement and EROAD subsequently suspends the Services to the Customer, the Customer must pay an account activation fee in order to reactivate the Services.
6. Additional Fees. EROAD reserves the right to invoice the Customer additional fees to reflect the cost of:
  - (a) installation and deinstallation of Hardware and associated travel costs;
  - (b) account activation fees;
  - (c) shipping and handling fees;
  - (d) expedited shipping if requested by Customer; and
  - (e) any accessories necessary for the installation of Hardware.
  Additional Fees are payable on the terms set out at clause 4.1.
7. Payment Methods. Acceptable methods of payment are outlined in the invoice or as otherwise listed on the Website.
8. Taxes. The Fees and Prices are exclusive of all taxes and duties. Customer will be responsible for, and will pay, all taxes and duties applicable to the Hardware and the Services (including any taxes and duties that Customer, or EROAD on Customer’s behalf, is liable to pay but which EROAD has omitted to collect or pay for during the term of the Agreement). Where EROAD is required by law to collect taxes or duties from Customer, EROAD will collect these from Customer in addition to the Prices and Fees listed and Customer will pay the taxes unless Customer is exempt from doing so and has provided EROAD with a valid exemption certificate.
9. Failure to Pay. If Customer fails to pay the Price or any Fees, EROAD may terminate the Agreement or suspend the Services. EROAD may also charge interest on any unpaid portion of the Price or the Fees at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law if less, from the due date until the date of payment.
10. Collection of Fees. EROAD may enter into factoring arrangements, assign its receivables or enter into other arrangements with third parties in relation to the payment and collection of its Fees. EROAD may also appoint an agent to collect any overdue amount and may pass on Customer information for that purpose. Customer will reimburse EROAD and its agent for all costs, expenses and attorney fees incurred in enforcing Customer’s payment obligations.
11. Set-off. Any credits, allowances or other amounts payable or creditable by EROAD to Customer will be subject to set-off against any claims or other amounts owed by Customer to EROAD.

And, while EROAD intends to make the Services available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the Services may be interrupted for scheduled maintenance or for reasons beyond EROAD’s control. EROAD will not be responsible for any such interruptions, but if Services are likely to be interrupted for extended periods, EROAD will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of such interruption on the Website.

Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, Customer’s access to and use of the Services is on an “as-is” basis and at Customer’s own risk. The Customer also acknowledges that EROAD is not in the business of providing professional advice (e.g. taxation, vehicle safety or fleet management advice) and Customer is therefore responsible for verifying any information given by EROAD before relying on or making use of it;
