5. All postage and packaging fees will be charged to the Customer in addition to the fees for the relevant Products and Services at Epos Now’s then current rates.

6. Customer Responsibilities

The Customer will be responsible for installing the Hardware (unless otherwise agreed in writing with Epos Now) and will keep the Hardware in the environmental conditions recommended by Epos Now and ensure that the external surfaces, cables and fittings of the Hardware are kept in good, clean condition.
The Customer will ensure that the Hardware is only used by properly trained staff in accordance with Epos Now’s instructions from time to time. The Customer will ensure that only personnel authorised by Epos Now adjust, modify, configure, maintain, repair, replace or remove any part of the Hardware.
The Customer will maintain adequate records of the use, maintenance and malfunction of the Hardware and will provide Epos Now with such information and assistance concerning the Hardware, its application, use, location and environment as Epos Now may reasonably require to enable it to carry out the Support Plan.
The Customer will immediately notify Epos Now if there is any failure of the Hardware or the System and will allow Epos Now full and free access to the Hardware and all documentation, software, materials and services necessary for the provision of the Support Plan. The Customer will ensure that relevant trained and experienced staff are available when required by Epos Now to provide Epos Now with information required to diagnose and/or repair the issue.
It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to regularly operate and verify a proper back-up routine, maintaining all back-up copies in a secure environment.
The Customer undertakes to put and keep in place adequate security measures and up-to-date firewalls to protect the Hardware, Software and Systems from any viruses, harmful code or unauthorised access. Epos Now shall not be responsible for any unauthorised access to the System by means of hacking, any unauthorised access of the Hardware with intent to commit or facilitate the commission of an offence or any unauthorised modification of the Hardware by a third party.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that their login password to the Epos Now Systems remains secure and confidential. The Customer should update their password regularly and ‘remember me’ type functions should not be used on publicly available or shared computers.

7. Internet / Network Requirements

Epos Now’s Products require a reliable and robust connection to the internet / local network to take advantage of all of the online features and benefits. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that it has an appropriate internet / local network connection in place prior to installation of the Software and to also ensure that the internet connection is maintained correctly and includes an up-to-date firewall. The recommended internet speeds are a minimum 7Mbps download speed and 0.6Mbps upload speed to support up to four till devices. Larger locations / installations will need higher internet speeds as appropriate to the size of installation and business. This speed requirement does not include any additional internet usage required over and above the Epos Now System such as staff or guest networks or other business requirements. Internet speeds and consistencies can be checked by using internet speed test websites or by contacting the applicable internet service provider.
The Customer must provide a separate physical network or a separate V-LAN for Epos Now systems. This must not be shared with other devices, particularly those that cause high volume, high congestion or unpredictable network loads including (but not limited to) guest networks and music or video streaming devices.
The Customer is solely responsible for any connection charges, line rental charges and call charges in relation to any Products.
Whilst Epos Now representatives may provide advice and an indication of the suitability of the Customer’s internet / local network connection, it remains the Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure it has a suitable internet / local network connection both before and after an order is placed. Epos Now is not responsible for any slow responses to its Systems, including where this is caused by the Customer’s poor internet / local network connection.
Provision of Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure (e.g. cabling, network switches, WAN router) is the responsibility of the Customer and should be appropriate to the size of business and criticality of the operation.
Where the System is to be used over wifi (e.g. tablets/mobile devices):
1. the Customer is responsible for the setup, configuration and management of both the wifi infrastructure and the Customer devices. This includes ensuring wifi coverage in required areas and ensuring network dropouts due to wifi roaming are minimised; and
2. the Customer must consider that wifi is not as robust as a wired network and network dropouts can occur due to wifi coverage, access point roaming, tablet sleep modes as well as other environmental factors. This is not unique to Epos Now Systems and should be considered when selecting a wifi solution.
Epos Now Systems are designed to work offline, but where no network connection (LAN or WAN) is available or the network connection is unreliable, some functionality is reduced.
Where Customer devices are used offline for long periods, the Customer must ensure that such devices are regularly (at least every 7 days) connected to the internet to ensure data is synchronised with its servers. All till devices must regularly (at least every 7 days) perform ‘End of Day/Close Till’ operations to ensure that the local data store can be archived to the servers.

8. Hardware as a Service (Monthly Fee: Hardware without up-front costs)

Epos Now offers a monthly fee subscription option for the provision of the Products, whereby it will supply Hardware and/or Software solutions without any upfront cost. This includes CCTV integration. For this option, fees are charged on a monthly basis with a minimum contract term equal to the HaaS Period (“Subscription Contract”).
If the Customer cancels the Subscription Contract within the HaaS Period, or in accordance with clause 8.3.3 below, it must return any Hardware it has received and pay the remaining balance for the remainder of the HaaS Period. This is calculated by multiplying the number of months outstanding by the applicable monthly fee.
At least 90 days prior to the end of the HaaS Period the Customer shall notify Epos Now of its choice to either:
1. upgrade the Hardware where applicable and continue payment under the Subscription Service at the same rate (unless notified to the Customer by Epos Now from time to time in accordance with these terms). This will be for a further fixed period equal to the HaaS Period. All rights relating to Product warranties and the Swap It service shall continue to apply to the Hardware; or
2. keep the current Hardware and continue payment under the Subscription Service at the same rate (unless notified to the Customer by Epos Now from time to time in accordance with these terms). The rental of the Hardware under this option shall be on a rolling monthly basis, which may be cancelled at any time by the Customer providing Epos Now with at least one month’s prior written notice. All rights relating to Product warranties and the Swap It service shall continue to apply to the Hardware; or
3. cancel the Subscription Contract with effect from the end of the Subscription Contract term, and if the Customer fails to notify Epos Now within this 90 day period, clause 8.3.2 shall apply as the default position.
Subject to clause 8.2, either party can terminate the Subscription Contract at any time by providing the other party with at least 30 days’ prior written notice.
For the avoidance of doubt, title to the Products shall not pass to the Customer at any point under the Subscription Contract option and Epos Now will remain the owner of the Products at all times.
The Customer must arrange the safe return of Hardware within 10 Working Days of the end of the Subscription Contract.
If the Products are not returned, after a period of 10 Working Days from the end of the Subscription Contract (or any earlier date where termination takes place during the HaaS Period) that Epos Now has not received the Hardware, Epos Now will charge an additional £25 (ex vat) per item.

9. Product Rental

Epos Now may offer the ability to rent the Products from Epos Now and where this is possible, it will notify the Customer of the rental period, and the applicable fees for that period.
On acceptance of an order, a deposit per point of sale terminal will be taken in addition to the first month’s rental fee. If the rental period is greater than one month, the subsequent payments will be due in one-month intervals, starting from the first date of the rental period.
Epos Now will remain the owner of the Products and will retain title in them at all times.
It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the Hardware is maintained and returned in the same condition as it was dispatched (fair wear and tear excepted)
The Customer must arrange the safe return of Hardware within five Working Days of the end of the rental period.
Epos Now may offer to collect the Hardware, however, it is the Customer’s responsibility to document the cosmetic condition before the Hardware is collected by Epos Now (or Epos Now’s third-party courier).
For each day after the five Working Days from the end of the rental period that Epos Now has not received the Hardware, Epos Now will charge an additional £25 (ex vat) per item.
Upon return of the Hardware, Epos Now will inspect the Hardware and compile a report. Based on the report, a full refund of the deposit may be made, less any adjustments. If the Customer is eligible for a return of the deposit, this payment will be made within 14 Working Days of receiving the returned Hardware.
If the Hardware is returned in a damaged condition where the cost of repair or replacement exceeds the value of the deposit, Epos Now retains the right to invoice the Customer for an additional sum to cover the damage exceeding the value of the deposit. The Customer must pay this sum within 14 days of the date of the applicable invoice.
If the Hardware is not returned after 28 days after the rental period, Epos Now will withhold the entirety of the deposit and invoice the Customer for the remaining value of the Products and any charges outstanding. This must be paid within 14 days of the date of the applicable invoice.
The Hardware rental does not include any ongoing services or consumables (e.g. support, applications or peripheral hardware such as USB scanners), but these are available on request (subject to agreed fees).

10. Annual Software Licence Fee

Unless the Customer has opted to purchase a Support Plan, the Customer will be charged for a Software licence annually.
The annual Software licence provides the Customer with:
1. use of the Software for a minimum 12 calendar months;
2. maintenance and operating costs of the Epos Now servers; and
3. selective System updates, improving the running and functionality of the Software.
The first year of the Software licence is included within the price of purchasing the Software.
The annual Software licence fee is chargeable for each separate point of sale terminal (as updated from time to time).
Payment of the Software licence is due on the anniversary of the original account activation for each point of sale terminal.
The Software licence fee is non-negotiable and is non-refundable in the event that this Agreement is terminated.
The Software licence shall apply for a minimum period of 12 months (“Initial Term”) and will automatically renew for further 12 month periods (each a “Renewal Period”) unless and until a party provides the other party with written notice to cancel the Software licence at least 30 days before the start of the next Renewal Period, which shall take effect no earlier than the end of the Initial Term or the end of the then current Renewal Period. Upon the start of each Renewal Period, the Customer will be charged for the Software licence fees (at the then current rates) via the original billing method.
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that upon the annual Software licence renewal date, the Customer will be required to upgrade to the then latest version of the Epos Now Software platform.

11. Support Plan

Epos Now offers two optional Support Plans:
1. Standard Support, which shall include:
  1. the annual Software licence fee;

  4. Software updates;
  5. email support;

  2. priority email support.
The Customer can upgrade to a Support Plan at any time either through the ‘Back Office’ of the System using its log-in credentials, or by contacting Epos Now. If the Customer is already part-way into a Standard Support Plan contract, this existing contract will be cancelled and replaced by the Premium Support contract.
Where the Customer has paid for a Standard Support Plan contract and wishes to upgrade to a Premium Support Plan, the remaining term of the Standard Support Plan will be discounted from the Premium Support plan’s payment on a pro rata basis. The Premium Support Plan contract shall continue for at least one year from the date of taking out the Premium Support Plan.
All Support Plans are contracts for 12-month periods and are governed by the terms of this Agreement.
The Customer can choose to either pay the Support Plan annually in advance or on a monthly basis. Where the Customer chooses to pay for the Support Plan on a monthly basis, it must provide recurring payment details either through direct debit or a credit or debit card. Payments are due each month, on the same day of the month that the Support Plan was purchased.
Epos Now will attempt to take the payment each month through its payment providers. Where a payment fails, Epos Now will attempt to take the payment again. If a payment continues to fail, Epos Now retains the right to restrict access to the Epos Now Software for all of the Customer’s licenses, locations and devices until all outstanding payments are made in full.
If the Customer wishes to cancel its Support Plan part-way through the annual contract, it will be liable to pay a charge calculated by multiplying the number of months remaining on the contract by the monthly payment.
Epos Now reserves the right to increase the Support Plan fees at any time upon providing the Customer with at least 30 days’ notice in advance. Should the Customer not agree to the Support Plan fees, the Customer may cancel the Support Plan and receive a pro rata refund for any unused proportion of the Support Plan fees after the effective date of termination that have been paid in advance.
If the Customer has a Support Plan but uses third party hardware, Epos Now will use reasonable endeavours to resolve any software compatibility issues, but any hardware maintenance issues will be the Customer’s sole responsibility.

12. Support Plan Renewal & Cancellation

After one year (and each subsequent year), the Customer’s Support Plan will automatically renew for another year unless the Customer advises Epos Now before the renewal date that it does not wish it to renew.
The Customer has a 30 day cooling-off period after the automatic renewal date in which to notify Epos Now that it does not wish to continue the Support Plan, Epos Now will cancel the Support Plan contract with no penalty to the Customer.
To continue to use the Epos Now Software after cancellation, the Customer must either pay the annual Support Plan licence fee or sign up to another Support Plan.
Epos Now may also choose to end the Support Plan contract at any time if Epos Now discontinues the Support Plan.

13. ProtectNow Care Plan

If Epos Now determines that the Hardware is outside of the warranty rights, Epos Now will, at the Customer’s request, prepare a quote for repair or replacement of the item in question. The Customer can then choose to pay for the repair or replacement or to have its original Hardware returned to it (at the Customer’s expense).
Where Epos Now replaces or repairs Hardware under warranty, or as a chargeable out of warranty service, the repaired or replacement Hardware inherits the remaining warranty period from the original Hardware. If the original Hardware has less than 30 calendar days of warranty remaining, the replacement or repaired Hardware will receive a warranty of 30 calendar days.
If any new Hardware fails within the first 30 days of its original purchase, and is covered by a warranty, Epos Now will replace the device with new Hardware, at Epos Now’s expense.

18. Swap It service

If the Customer has purchased a Support Plan, and where the Hardware is covered by a Limited Warranty or Extended Warranty, the Customer is entitled to have its Return to Base warranty upgraded to the Swap It service.
If the Customer notifies Epos Now prior to 3.00pm (GMT) on a Working Day of a fault with the Hardware, Epos Now will arrange for a courier to deliver replacement Hardware (of a similar specification to the original) to be delivered the following Working Day.
When the courier delivers the replacement Hardware, they will collect the failed Hardware. The courier will not leave the replacement Hardware without taking away the failed Hardware. The courier will allow a maximum of 15 minutes for the replacement to occur. It is not possible to arrange a specific time of day for the replacement to occur.
If Epos Now is notified of the need for a Swap It after 3.00pm (GMT) or on a non-Working Day, the replacement Hardware will be delivered within two Working Days’ time.
The Swap It service is only available for addresses in the UK. For all addresses outside of the UK the Customer must use the Return to Base option.
The Swap It service is not available on Hardware for which there is no Epos Now warranty, for example third-party products not manufactured by Epos Now.
If Hardware fails outside of the first 30 days of original purchase, Epos Now retains the right to replace or repair the Product with refurbished or remanufactured parts.
The Customer, wherever possible, must also provide the serial number of the Hardware to be swapped when requested by an Epos Now support agent. Failure to do so may result in a refusal of the Swap It case.
When Hardware is returned to Epos Now via a Swap It, Epos Now will inspect the device to ensure that it should be replaced under warranty. Epos Now only offers the Swap It service to Hardware that is covered by an Epos Now warranty. Whilst Epos Now tries to validate the warranty status before agreeing to perform a Swap It, there are occasions where Epos Now perform a Swap It on Hardware that are not covered by warranty. If it is found to be out of warranty Epos Now reserves the right to raise an invoice, due immediately, for the Customer to pay the replacement cost.
Hardware can be out of warranty for many reasons, including (but not limited to):
1. the warranty period has expired;
2. any of the circumstances of clause 17.5 apply; or
3. improper or insufficient cleaning and maintenance.
If the Hardware returned is found to be in working condition but in a poor and unreasonable state of cleanliness, the Customer will be billed for cleaning the Hardware at a fixed rate per item.

19. Refunds and return of the Products

No return or refund will be issued by Epos Now unless the complaints procedure outlined in clause 20 is followed.
The Software licence fee is strictly non-refundable.
Any returned Products should be packed in the original packaging, with all boxes, leads, discs, adaptors and manuals. Epos Now reserves the right to charge for any damages caused in transit due to poor packaging.
Epos Now Systems and Software sales are excluded from the standard returns policy due to the considerable costs in configuration, personalisation, training and dispatch. These items are strictly non-refundable.
Any money paid to third parties for any modifications made to the Software at the Customer’s request shall also not be refunded to the Customer.
Epos Now will not process a return where any of the following apply:
1. Customer or staff training needs, i.e. where the Customer is not understanding or using the System properly;
2. the Customer not properly researching or qualifying the purchase;
3. functions that are not present or work differently than other products available in the market;
4. compatibility with third party items/systems;
5. Products that have been dispatched, configured, personalised and used;
6. the Customer shutting down the business or where the Product is surplus to requirements after delivery;
7. orders that contain bespoke or custom equipment;
8. operational problems that arise from the Customer’s internet connection / local network or other environment problems that are out of Epos Now’s control;
9. the Customer accidentally damaged the Products after delivery;
10. the Customer or a third party has misused the Products and damaged them;
11. the Customer or a third party has tried to open or tamper with the Hardware in some way;
12. the Customer no longer requires the Hardware and the Customer has personalised it;
13. if the item is sold as faulty via Epos Now’s auctions or clearance;
14. if the item is part of a custom or large order;
15. the item is not returned in its original packaging;
16. the Customer has not paid the annual Software licence fee; or
17. the Products are not in 'as new' condition upon their purchase by the Customer.
Epos Now shall assess the return request by using the following process:
1. Epos Now shall use reasonable endeavours to understand why the Customer feels the Product is ‘unfit for purpose’ and attempt to reasonably resolve any issues when highlighted by the Customer via remote desktop;
2. Epos Now shall attend the Customer’s business premises if the situation cannot be resolved remotely to perform a site survey and on-site training or repair. This may be subject to a charge; and
3. once the issue is identified, Epos Now must be given reasonable time to resolve the issue (and with the Customer’s assistance (where applicable) to do so).
The Customer is responsible for the delivery of the Products back to Epos Now at the Customer’s expense, and only after the Products have been checked by an engineer of Epos Now, will any payment be agreed upon and released. Reasonable return costs (at the cheapest available rate) will be refunded by Epos Now where a fault is identified.
Refunds will only be made after reasonable endeavours have been made by Epos Now to resolve the issue.
In the event of a return, refunds, credit notes and exchanges can only be made to the card account or business/person that made the order originally, and these will be processed within 28 days of the item’s return to Epos Now.
For any payments made through a finance company, Epos Now is only able to refund any amounts due via the finance company’s instruction in writing.
Any amounts paid for on-site installations, product imports, support payments, postage, module integrations and repair and labour cost are non-refundable.

20. Complaints Procedure

Epos Now endeavours to ensure that all Customers are satisfied with their purchase, however, where problems arise the Customer commits to following the complaints procedure in this clause.
If the Customer is not entirely satisfied with the Products and/or Services, its first action should be to contact the Epos Now support team. Contact details are available at www.eposnow.com/uk/contact-us.
If the issue has not been satisfactorily resolved, the Customer should then make a written complaint either by email to customerrelations@eposnow.com or by post to: Complaints, Epos Now (UK) Limited, 3 Whiting Road, Norwich, NR4 6DJ.
Written complaints should include full details of the situation and the nature of the Customer’s complaint. Additionally the Customer should ensure that it provides the best contact details to reach them on.
Epos Now will respond to the initial written complaint within two Working Days, confirming that Epos Now has received the Customer’s complaint and advising the Customer of which Epos Now manager will be managing the resolution.
The assigned manager will endeavour to resolve the Customer’s complaint as quickly as possible, working with the Customer to understand all aspects and come up with a proposed resolution where a fault is identified.
Once the proposed resolution is understood, the assigned manager will write to the Customer documenting the resolution and rationale behind the decision.
Should the Customer still not be happy with the resolution provided, the Customer should contact the assigned manager and notify them that it wishes to escalate the complaint further. No claim will be valid unless the Customer firstly follows the above process.
All sales are bound by the terms of this Agreement and Epos Now asks that the Customer read the full Agreement before raising a complaint. Please note that whilst the Customer’s statutory rights are not affected, this is a business-to-business transaction, and is therefore not governed by consumer law (such as the Consumer Rights Act 2015).
PLEASE NOTE: Epos Now does not tolerate any abusive, offensive or inappropriate behaviour or intimidation towards its staff. In the event that the Customer does not treat Epos Now’s staff in a courteous and professional manner at all times, Epos Now reserves the right to cease all correspondence with the Customer and provide this as evidence of non-cooperation and bad faith in any subsequent legal proceedings.

21. Intellectual Property Rights

All Intellectual Property Rights and all other rights in the Products shall vest and remain vested in Epos Now.
All Customer data (including but not limited to transactional data, sales data, product data and stock data) are owned by the Customer.
The Customer hereby provides Epos Now with a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, worldwide licence to use the Customer’s transactional data, sales data, product data and stock data that is generated through the Epos Now System for the enhancement of existing services and the provision of new services for Epos Now, its customers and partner organisations. For the avoidance of doubt, any personally identifiable information will be anonymised and/or aggregated.
The Customer acknowledges that it will not acquire any Intellectual Property Rights in the Hardware and that it will have no rights in or to the Intellectual Property Rights in the Software other than as set out in the EULA at Annex A.
The Customer agrees not to remove deface or cover up any name plates, logos or trade marks appearing on the Products.
The Intellectual Property Rights in the Products supplied by Epos Now may be owned by third party suppliers. Where Epos Now notifies the Customer that this is the case, the Customer acknowledges that its use of rights in third party materials may be governed by, and will be conditional upon, the Customer agreeing to an end-user licence (or sub-licence) of such rights directly with the relevant licensor.
PLEASE NOTE: The Customer's historic stock data, which is stored by Epos Now expressly for use in the Stock History report in the back office, will only be stored for one year and it will be deleted at the end of this period. Epos Now recommends that the Customer exports this data from the stock history report from time to time to avoid any loss of data.

22. Liability

This clause sets out the liability of each party under this Agreement and its Annexes.
All warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded from this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The parties will bear their own costs and expenses incurred in respect of compliance with their obligations under this clause 25.1, unless the audit identifies a material default by the Customer, in which case the Customer will reimburse Epos Now for all of its reasonable costs incurred in the course of the audit.
If an audit identifies that the Customer is in breach of this Agreement, without prejudice to Epos Now’s other rights and remedies, the Customer will promptly take the necessary steps to comply with its obligations (including making an additional payment for any use of the Software outside of the agreed licence scope at Epos Now’s then current rates).
