5.1. Period

Intelligent Retail partner with a range of hardware suppliers. Unless otherwise stated PC´s, notebooks and till systems come with 1 year return to manufacturer warranty. If the customer notifies Intelligent Retail within fourteen (14) days of the delivery date that the item has been found faulty upon receipt then, depending upon the nature of the fault, Intelligent Retail may classify that item as Dead on Arrival (DoA) and replace the item with a new product.

5.2. Returns

It is the customer´s obligation to package and return items to the manufacturer and cover delivery costs.

5.3. No fault found

In the event of any claim presented under warranty being found on investigation by Intelligent Retail either to be outside the scope or duration of this warranty or the fault not being confirmed, then the cost of such investigation and repair shall be borne by the Customer.

i. improper use or installation; or

ii. use of the Hardware outside the specifications detailed in the documentation relating to the Hardware; or

iv. where Hardware has been repaired or modified by persons not authorised by Intelligent Retail.

6. Software Warranty

In the case of Software produced by Intelligent Retail ("Intelligent Retail Software") Intelligent Retail Software is warranted to conform substantially to its published functional specifications for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of installation. Intelligent Retail will during the said period, at its own expense, correct any such non-conforming Software provided that the Customer has notified Intelligent Retail and upon inspection Intelligent Retail has found the Software to be non-conforming. The Customer´s sole and exclusive remedy under this warranty will be limited to such correction.

7. Cancellation / Returns

7.1 Goods are not sold on a trial basis. Where a Customer is not satisfied with Goods and / or does not want them, the Goods can only be returned to Intelligent Retail if fully re-saleable and subject to a restocking charge of 15% of the purchase price of the Goods or £20, whichever is greater. In the event of such returns, the Customer acknowledges that it shall be liable for all reasonable costs incurred by Intelligent Retail in relation to carriage, postage, and packaging and Intelligent Retail shall invoice the Customer for any costs in question incurred. Intelligent Retail shall not refund monies for Goods which are bought in error or are not resaleable.

7.2 A Returns authorisation number must be obtained before any Goods can be returned to Intelligent Retail, which number may be obtained by the Customer from Intelligent Retail´s customer service department. All repairs, replacements or refunds will be processed following receipt and inspection by our Returns department The Goods must also be packaged in all their original packaging so as to ensure safe transit and ease of identification and be returned in their entirety including all disks, manuals and cables. The manufacturer´s packaging must not be damaged or defaced. Intelligent Retail shall refuse Goods returned without a Returns authorisation number

7.3 The return of faulty Goods is subject strictly to individual manufacturers Dead On Arrival policies (DOA). (Individual manufacturers DOA policies may be obtained by the Customer by contacting Intelligent Retail´s customer service department.) Where a Customer notifies Intelligent Retail of a defect in the Goods within the time provided for in the applicable manufacturers DOA policy, which defect is subsequently verified by Intelligent Retail´s technical inspectors, Intelligent Retail will replace the Goods or refund the monies paid by the Customer for the Goods.

7.4 The Goods will be tested upon receipt. If no fault is found, the Goods will be returned to the Customer. If a fault is found and the applicable manufacturer´s DOA period is exceeded, then the Goods will be repaired under the terms of the manufacturer´s warranty.

7.5 In the case where it is established that Goods are faulty or defective in line with the individual manufacturer´s warranty, most warranty repairs will be carried out on a return-to-manufacturer basis. All parts and labour charges will be waived but the Customer is responsible for ensuring that the Goods are returned to Intelligent Retail in their original packaging ,or if this is not available, in a stout carton with high density foam providing at least 150mm clearance surrounding the entire product so as to ensure safe transit and ease of identification. In some instances the manufacturer´s warranty requires the Customer to contact the repair agent directly. If this is the case, the Customer will be so informed by the Intelligent Retail´s customer service department.

7.6 Under no circumstances will Intelligent Retail accept the return of an opened software package unless it is faulty. By breaking the seal, the Customer accepts the licence between the Customer and the software manufacturer.

7.7 The Customer acknowledges that in all cases all Goods shall be returned to Intelligent Retail using only a carrier approved by Intelligent Retail and in cases where the Customer uses an unapproved carrier the Customer shall be liable for all costs losses damages or other charges incurred by Intelligent Retail in relation to the use by the Customer of the unapproved carrier.

7.8 Risk in any Goods that the Customer is returning to Intelligent Retail shall remain with the Customer until the Goods have been delivered to Intelligent Retail´s premises and accepted by Intelligent Retail.

8. Price

Catalogues, price lists and other advertising literature or material as used by Intelligent Retail are intended only as an indication as to price and range of goods offered and no prices, descriptions or other particulars shall be binding on Intelligent Retail.

The pricing in any written quotation provided by Intelligent Retail is fixed for a period of thirty days from date of quote. All prices are exclusive of VAT (and any similar sales tax) which will be charged as additional items on Intelligent Retail´s invoice. Following the expiry of this thirty day period any quoted price must be verified with Intelligent Retail.

9. Payment

9.1. Booking installation and training dates

To book an installation and training date Intelligent Retail require a deposit of at 10% or greater of the total value of the cost of goods and services as agreed as per the payment schedule. This is to hold the Customer´s specific dates in the engineer´s diary. If payment is by lease, confirmation of lease approval must have been received before the installation date can be booked.

Rearrangement and Cancellation. Once an installation and training date is agreed Intelligent Retail will commit resources to it. Therefore we prefer that dates are not changed. We do understand in certain exceptional circumstances that changes may need to occur. In these situations we regrettably have to pass on just some of the costs undertaken, these can be for example; project management, pre-commissioning, restocking fees (suppliers and our own), carriage, web development, web consultancy, hotel costs and preliminary design works.

Rearrangement is deemed to be when an installation or training date is rescheduled. Where 2-4 weeks notice of rearrangement is provided there is a charge of £140 to cover costs incurred by Intelligent Retail and our partners. Where 2 weeks or less notice is given, a charge of £450 will apply. The Customer agrees that such charge amounts to a genuine pre-estimate of the losses suffered by Intelligent Retail on such rearrangement.

Cancellation is where an installation and / or training is no longer required. Where 2-4 weeks notice of cancellation is provided there is a charge of 8% of the total order value to cover costs incurred by Intelligent Retail and our partners. Where 2 weeks or less notice is given, a charge of £790 or 10% of the total order value (whichever is greater) will apply. The Customer agrees that such charge amounts to a genuine pre-estimate of the losses suffered by Intelligent Retail on such cancellation.

9.2. Balance for services, hardware and software excluding website design

Full payment is required at least 2 weeks prior to installation. Intelligent Retail reserves the right to cancel an installation if payment has not been made on time and charge interest as indicated in 9.6.

9.3. Websites

A 50% payment of the website and eCommerce price is required to book the website marketing consultation and subsequent design.

Regardless of the amount of the deposit, the balance payment is then required no later than four (4) weeks after the date of website consultation, or the date the design work started whichever occured first. The reason this is specified is that development is a partnership activity where the customer provides some information through the design process and the duration of the design process will differ from one customer to another. It is important to understand that this payment is due no matter what stage the design is at currently.

9.4. Hosting

Hosting fees for the database and website commence from date of first hardware installation, not from the date the website goes live.

9.5. Support renewal

9.5.1. General Support. The support contract renewal should be paid prior to the expiry of the Customer´s existing contract. If renewal has not been received prior to the end of the support period, entitlement to access the support team as well as product updates will be removed.

9.5.2. Web Site Support

To ensure the continued provision of high quality support as the Customer's web site grows, the web site support program runs alongside the standard technical support contract for all customers with Connect websites. This support is free for the first year then comprises a sliding scale of charges based on the previous year's annual turnover of the Customer's website. To identify the previous years revenue the Customer gives Intelligent Retail the rights to run a report at the end of the year to show trading website revenues. This data will be used solely for the purposes of setting the correct pricing band for web site support. This report does not measure refunds.

9.6. Late Payments

Payments are deemed late if they are paid after the timeframe agreed as outlined in this document, agreed in the Scope of Work or after 30 days following invoice. Any payments shall be made without set off or deduction and in the event of any late payment, Intelligent Retail shall be entitled to charge interest at a rate of 4% above the base rate of Barclays Bank plc, from the date the payment was due until date of payment.

Customer shall not be entitled to delay or withhold payment on account of any alleged claim. Customer shall make all payments due under the Contract without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless the Customer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by the Company to the Customer.

All payment payable to the Company shall become due and payable immediately upon termination of this Contract despite any other provision.

We reserve the right to suspend any or all of our services in the event of non-payment of any overdue invoice (pro-forma or otherwise). Such suspension of services (in whole or in part) also suspends all of our obligations to you (whether or not directly related to the portion(s) of services suspended), but all of our rights, as well as all of your obligations to us, in the matter of payment or any other matter, remain in full force and effect. If any services provided by us are suspended or ceased because of your non-payment or because of any breach of contract on your part, we have the right to charge you a restitution fee of £100 plus VAT, should you wish us to continue to provide the service and should we agree to do so.

10. Damages, Shortages or Loss in Transit

The Customer shall inspect the Products immediately on delivery and Intelligent Retail will accept responsibility for damages, shortage or loss in transit only if:

i. Such loss or damage is noted on the consignment note or delivery document upon receipt, and copies provided to Intelligent Retail or is notified in writing to Intelligent Retail in cases of outwardly non visible loss or damage to unchecked Products to arrive in either case within five (5) working days from receipt of the Products by the Customer; and

ii. In cases of suspected damage in transit the added packaging is retained for inspection; and

iii. The Products are handled by the Customer in accordance with the carriers´ conditions of carriage or handling stipulations.

Where Intelligent Retail accepts responsibility under this clause Intelligent Retail shall at its option replace or repair any Products proved to Intelligent Retail´s satisfaction to have been lost or damaged in transit.

11. Acceptance of Products

For Intelligent Retail installed Products, satisfactory completion of Intelligent Retail´s standard test procedure will be sufficient to establish acceptance. If, within seven (7) days after physical installation in the absence of written notification of valid reasons justifying non acceptance, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Products. If installation is not performed by Intelligent Retail, Intelligent Retail shall be under no obligation to perform any acceptance test procedures and the date of acceptance shall be the date of delivery to the Customer.

12. Intelligent Retail´s Liability

i. Products have been manufactured or developed by Intelligent Retail or third parties to standard specifications. The Customer accepts that Intelligent Retail is acting only as a supplier and that it is the Customer´s responsibility to verify that the Hardware, Software and Services (including hosting of database and websites) will be suitable for its own requirements.

13. Risk

Risk of loss or damage of any Hardware or Software shall pass from Intelligent Retail to the Customer on delivery of any such goods to the Customer´s premises. The Customer agrees to insure such goods on delivery.

14. Use of systems

For the avoidance of any doubt, it is the customer´s responsibility to import or add all data including staff and stock information to the Connect system. Intelligent Retail is not responsible for the maintenance, management, security or integrity of the Customer´s data. Intelligent Retail accepts no liability for the loss of any data or otherwise. Any services provided including backup and data sharing are at reasonable endeavours and the customer is entitled to make additional provision in these areas if it is deemed necessary.

15. Insolvency of Customer

15.1 This Clause applies if:

You acknowledge that it may not always be possible for us to guarantee that breaches will not occur and therefore agree to cooperate with our staff in their requests for Customer authentication should we deem it appropriate to do so.

19.2 We always strive to maintain excellent relationhips with our customers. We do however reserve the right to withdraw service if the Customer communicates with staff in an unreasonable, provocative, abusive, aggressive or threatening manner. Our staff are paid to provide assistance to Customers and we do not tolerate unreasonable behaviour toward them. Should this occur we will either withdraw service on a limited basis, i.e. for a limited time period, for certain personnel in the Customer's organisation, or for telephone support, or we will withdraw service completely. In all cases the Customer is liable for full support fees for the whole period as they will still be entitled to software updates where these are deemed essential.

Our support personnel cannot recreate the issue.

Our testing team cannot recreate the issue.

Our IBM software testing robots that are capable of running hundreds of test scenarios, cannot create issue.

No other customers have reported the same or similar issue.

The customer cannot demonstrate the issue or give clear steps on when or how the issue occurs.

B. INSTALLATION

1. General

This content defines the standard terms and conditions of supply which apply to Works carried out as part of projects defined by Intelligent Retail Scope of Works ("SoW"). Where additional, or amended, terms and conditions are specifically required by the Customer these are identified within the Additional Notes section of the respective SoW document.

2. Access

Times of installation may vary but can be between the times of 9am and 5pm. By prior appointment the teams may require access to the premises at these times. If access is restricted Intelligent Retail reserve the right to charge for an additional half day or day installation to complete the planed works.

3. Pre-Requisites

The pre-requisites (such as broadband being installed and switched on) must be completed one (1) week prior to installation date. If Works have not been completed then the installation may have to be re-arranged and additional charges applied.

3.1 All Hardware, Software and network cabling components associated with this order must have been ordered and delivered from either Intelligent Retail, or a Third Party supplier, in time for the commencement of the Works.

3.2 Arrangement and/or completion of any Third Party services required as part of the Works.

3.3. If third party hardware is used the customer must check at least 2 weeks prior to installation that the specification is appropriate for the installation of Connect. Intelligent Retail will not install Connect on equipment that is not to the appropriate specification.

7.2. The Intelligent Retail installation engineer will decide which of the activities are to be carried out on site and which can be most effectively carried out elsewhere.

7.3. In the event that the Intelligent Retail installation engineer completes the Works defined in the SOW before the end of the allotted time, they will not be obliged to perform tasks not covered in the SOW or remain on site.

8. Customer Responsibilities

8.1. Unless agreed otherwise unpacking and the positioning of all Hardware equipment in its final location prior to the commencement of the Works.

8.2. Ensure that the users of any existing systems that are being upgraded, or extended, are informed that the systems will be unavailable during the period over which the Works are being carried out.

8.3. Ensure that any existing Cabling Infrastructure is functioning correctly.

8.4. Ensure that any copies of Software required for the configuration of any Hardware, not supplied as part of the order, are available prior to the commencement of the Works.

8.5. Ensure that any copies of Software required for the configuration of Software Applications, not supplied as part of the order, are available prior to the commencement of the works.

8.6. If the customer has a network server ensure that full, verified tape backups of any existing network Servers are made prior to the commencement of the works. In the event of unforeseen difficulties the Intelligent Retail installation engineer may have to use these backups to restore Servers to their previous state. The Customer is therefore responsible for any loss of data due to failure, or incompleteness, of any backup tapes provided.

8.7. Ensure that for any existing Servers boot disks and emergency repair disks are prepared prior to the commencement of the Works and following the completion of the works.

8.8. Provide the Intelligent Retail installation engineer with appropriate user´s logon identity and password for all existing computer systems to be accessed.

8.9. Ensure that the Intelligent Retail installation engineer is granted full and exclusive access to all cabling and areas where work is required as well as parts of the network between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Any Works to be undertaken outside of these hours will be agreed with the Customer.

8.10. Ensure that members of the Customer´s IT support staff or outside company may be easily contacted during the period over which the Works are being carried out.

8.11. Ensure that the Intelligent Retail installation engineer is informed of any operational difficulties with either any existing network or building infrastructure prior to the commencement of the works.

8.12. Ensure that full and legal licences are possessed for all Software installed on the Server or Workstations before, during or after the Works to be carried out.

8.13. Following the completion of the works and with the exception of any outstanding actions detailed in the Engineers Scope of Works form the customer must endeavour to functionally check all Hardware and Software installed or configured under the SOW.

8.14. Functional checks should be carried over the first five (5) days under full operational conditions i.e. with normal numbers of users logged on and accessing the Hardware and Software in typical modes of use.

8.15. Incidents where Hardware or Software fails during the functional checking should be reported directly to Intelligent Retail Support.

8.16. Customers should expect to carry out reasonable levels of diagnostics and assistance to Intelligent Retail Support in rectifying any reported failures.

8.17. Issues of a non-technical nature arising from the works, or enquiries regarding outstanding tasks should be reported to the Intelligent Retail project co-ordinator.

8.18. Packaging. Our installation engineers will not remove equipment packaging from the premises. We recommend the customer keeps the boxes in case the equipment needs to be moved or returned for any reason incluiding repair.

8.19. Parking. Our installation engineer will bring the hardware equipment to site. They will need to park within 300m of the shop to drop off this equipment. If any parking permits are required these must be obtained for the duration or works on the installtion day. The permit should have been received within 1 week prior to installation date. If appropriate parking is not available we reservce the right to rearrange installation for a date when access is available.

8.20. Work permits. Often in shopping centres a work permit is required by our engineers to conduct installation and / or maintenance works. This often has implications on validity of professional insurances. It is the customers responsibility to ensure a valid work permit exsits for the installation day. These permits must be in place up to one week prior to installation date. If appropriate work permits are not available we reserve the right to rearrange installation.

9. Non-Functional Systems

9.1 Intelligent Retail cannot be held responsible where a system cannot be made to function correctly for reasons beyond our reasonable control, e.g. virus infection, misuse or abuse, force majeure, faulty or incompatible Hardware (unless supplied as part of this integration work), problems with broadband or corrupt or incompatible Software supplied by the Customer.

10. Price

10.1 The price quoted is based on the notes made in the project documentation. If for example your Broadband modem is installed in a different place to that expected and we have to undergo extra cabling work then we will charge for this work and materials used.

10.2 The price for installation is based on typical building conditions that allow simple application of trunking and cable runs. Intelligent Retail do not tend to conduct pre-installation site surveys as these can add a significant cost to an installation. If there are reasons upon installation why extra expense is incurred then Intelligent Retail reserves the right to charge for any extra time on site and materials required.

10.3 Whilst an engineer is on-site if it is found that extra chargeable work is required then permission of a manager will be sought before proceeding with additional Works. However if a manager is not available the Customer agrees it is practical to proceed without permission of a manager providing the costs are within 20% of the overall installation cost as this is preferential to the installation being aborted. If costs are higher than 20% of the installation cost then the installation may have to be aborted rather accumulate than costs that the Customer might not want incur.

C. WEBSITE DESIGN & WEBSITE SERVICES

1. General

This content defines the standard terms and conditions of supply which apply to Works carried out as part of a web design project.

1.1. Internet router

The Connect system uses the internet for communicating changes as well as backup of your important information. Intelligent Retail has found that broadband routers differ in quality and the best approach for reliability if to use a single tested router. In order to keep support and installation costs to a minimum in our standard service we will exchange any existing router with the current recommended router.

If for any reason the Customer needs to keep the existing router connected in place please let Intelligent Retail know at least two (2) week´s prior to installation as additional works many need to be planned and additional charges may apply.

1.2. Website hosting

Intelligent Retail occasionally get asked by Customers whether they can host their own website and database. Whilst this can be done, there would need to be development and testing of the proposed host with various software management programs installed. Connect relies on a solid and reliable host and a lot of testing has gone into making sure the existing solution is solid.

1.3. Website design copyright

Original sketches, copy, drawings, computer designs and artwork produced in the course of the Project and adopted and used by the Customer in practice will become the Customer´s property upon settlement in full or all invoices relating to the Project. All other original sketches, copy, drawings, computer designs, media plans and artwork will remain the property of Intelligent Retail.

1.4. Website marketing

The Connect system is a tool and as such does not guarantee sales or placement in any search engines. Whilst the websites are designed in a way in which search engines can easily locate pages and list them as high as possible, there can be no guarantees. Additional services are available for marketing guidance and implementation of multi channel businesses.

1.5. Confidentiality

4. Design changes

4.1 The initial design consultation will identify the main design elements and work will be initiated accordingly.

4.2. There are various phases in the design depending on what the customer purchased. The Customer is entitled to feedback and to request design changes, or wording altered up to the point of Design Sign Off, at which time the website will be transferred to the Production server so that the Cutomer can upload products. At this point the designer no longer has access to the site and no additional design changes wil be done so the Customer has no more opportunities to influence the design but they will be able to change some parts of the website after the development is complete. If the customer would like additional changes these will be chargeable.

4.3. Where Intelligent Retail work with external designers to create a website, or an existing website is copied we will do what we can to build the design into the framework with reasonable endeavors. Intelligent Retail will decide when enough design time has been applied to meet the requirements. Intelligent Retail make no promises about meeting any specific designs and there is likely to be some level of compromise required.

4.4. Intelligent Retail will work with the Customer in designing the website. We will make reasonable changes to the website design depending upon service level purchased. Whilst we always endevour to meet the Customer's requirements, we reserve the right to refuse any requested changes if we feel it will impact on the functionality or usability of the website, or if is outside of the scope of the service level purchased. Intelligent Retail cannot make promises up front on when websites will go live, if the Customer makes any arrangements for a go-live date the risk is theirs to take and Intelligent Retail accept no liability if the website is not released on time.

4.5. We may change the technical specification of our services at any time, with a view to improving the service.

4.6. The competition for viable search engine positions in some market sectors is very strong, and success is often only made possible by the expenditure of a large amount of money and/or being a large organization with many affiliates. People who do not spend a large amount of money are likely to struggle to compete in these competitive sectors, but because there are a great many factors which influence the attainment of positions in a given search engine, and because these factors change frequently, it is not necessarily impossible for a promotion in such a market sector to return good results. We can offer no guarantee of position or results at any time. We do not make any representation as to the number of positions, if any, we will attain for you and no refunds will be given irrespective of the number of positions attained, even if that number be zero. The act of preparation and submission of your website optimisation or promotion shall be our sole consideration in this agreement.

5. Acceptance Testing

5.1. Once the design has been agreed and the Customer has loaded products to the live site Intelligent Retail will test the website, this usually (but not always) includes purchasing an item online.

6. Customer Responsibilities

6.1. Provide clear design steering at the initial stages of design.

6.2. Provide complete written material for each web page, for example Terms and Conditions.

6.3. Provide input at action in a timely and reasonable manner through each phase of the design.

7. Liability

7.1. The Customer acknowledges that we shall not be liable to them in respect of any loss or damage arising from your use of or reliance upon any advice or information provided by us.

7.2. The Customer understands that we will normally follow published search engine guidelines and will promote their site according to our experience. We shall have no liability whatsoever should any search engine choose to penalise the website in any way. We do not consider a penalty to be likely, but the risk is one which the Customer agrees to take entirely on themselves.

7.3. We shall not be liable to the Customer nor to any third party under this Agreement in contract, tort or otherwise for any direct or indirect loss of profit, anticipated savings, business, contracts, revenue, time, goodwill or loss of or harm to data or other content or for any other indirect or consequential loss.

7.4. Nothing in the Contract implies or is intended to imply that we are under a duty to scrutinise the contents of the website or are liable for its contents. We are not a publisher for the purposes of any relevant legislation and perform no editing function in relation to the contents of the website.

8. Optimisation and promotional service

8.1. The Customer grants us exclusive authority for the Term to submit the Website to the Search Engines. The Customer grants us full authority to conclude Contracts in relation to the Search Engines on your behalf with relevant third parties.

8.2 We are under no obligation to submit the Website or Webpages to any Search Engine which begins accepting Submission on a payment-only basis at any point during the Term.

8.3. Some search engines require payment on an ongoing basis for the maintenance of positions once they have been attained. All such payments must be made by the Customer if the positions are to be maintained. All positions in such search engines will be considered for the purposes of this agreement to be present at all points throughout the Term, even if the Customer has in fact allowed them to lapse.

8.4. Whilst every effort will be made to take into account the Customer's wishes regarding the content and/or the appearance of the webpages, optimisation is likely to impact the design of pages and the homepage to achieve satisfactory rankings in the Search Engines. As a consequence, we have full authority and control over the final design of the webpages. If the Customer rejects designs this is likely to have an adverse impact on search engine performance.

8.5. SearchPhrases. We use our expertise to help market the website to the proper audience and effectively use it as a selling or promotional tool. In some circumstances, the searchphrases (or derivatives thereof) selected bythe Customer may be considered unsuitable for promotion by us because they are not sufficiently specific. If a phrase is very generic, we may consider it very unlikely that we will attain positions for it, or if positions are attained, that they will be held for any length of time, and thus we would be less likely to be able provide you with the appropriate level of service. Additionally, a very generic phrase, if prominently positioned in the search engines, may generate higher levels of visitors to the website than a more specific searchphrase, but research has shown that it will provide a very poor conversion rate of visitors to purchases. If the Customer chooses such a phrase, we may at our discretion replace it with a phrase of our choice but which is relevant to the Website – we will do this in order that more of the searchphrases will have a greater chance of attaining good positions, and provide more benefit.

8.6 Working with 3rd Party SEO companies. Where a customer would like a 3rd party SEO company to optimise their website Intelligent Retail will provide the following support program.

Consent. Customer must send us written approval (by fax or email) giving us permission to communicate with a representative of the SEO company. The written consent should include the SEO company address, contact name, telephone number and email.

Guidance. In return we will provide our guidance helpsheet to the SEO company which details exactly how SEOs can optimise the meta data on the website using the tools available within Connect.

Support. We do not provide direct telephone support to the 3rd Party SEO company. We will provide limited email support with a 7 day turnaround. If the SEO company wishes to raise an urgent issue it should be done via the customer, we would prefer and recommend this is done in writing. This process is in place to ensure the customer is absolutely clear what the SEO company is asking for.

Access. We do not allow direct editing of the website. Our servers support over 100 trading websites turning over millions of pounds. We cannot allow anyone access to these servers as it greatly increases the risk of failures occurring resulting in potential downtime for everyone. The SEO company can change Metadata using the tools built into Connect. If the SEO company needs to upload new pages or edit existing pages they can utilise the functionality provided to customers using either the Online Editing Tool or the FTP upload system built into Connect. If the customer wishes them to do this then they must provide the relevant access from their own system. We suggest customers are very careful with their system logins and passwords.
