7 Setting up your account
- You must register for an account in order to use the services available via our platform. Please complete all required fields on the online account set-up form and ensure that all information is correct.
- Once you have completed the registration process, we will send you an email to confirm activation of your account.
- By setting up an account you confirm to us that:
- you are at least 18 years old; and
- you are legally capable of entering into a contract with us.
8 Uploading content and obtaining a report
- In order to receive the services, you must upload photos and/or videos of the vehicle (and in some cases provide written descriptions) which meet the requirements specified on the platform, and which are of sufficient quality and detail to allow us to provide the services to you.
- The quality of the report we can provide to you depends on the quality of the photos, videos and written descriptions you provide. In particular, we cannot report on or provide an accurate reading in respect of any damage which you have not photographed or videoed, so please ensure that you have carefully inspected the vehicle and followed the user instructions when submitting such content. You will not be entitled to a refund of any payments you have made to us if we are unable to provide a report because the photos or videos submitted do not meet the requirements set out on our platform.
- If you are a personal end user, the contract between you and us for provision of the services in accordance with these terms will come into existence when you pay for the services through our third-party payment provider. In any event, whether you are a personal end user or a business end user, you agree that you will use our platform in accordance with these terms at all times.
- By uploading content to the platform, you grant us a royalty free, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable licence to use, transfer and display such content on the platform, to transfer such content to third parties for their use for the sole purpose of providing the services, and to use and share anonymised information derived from such content for purposes connected with our business.
- Once we have analysed the content you submit, we will generate a report setting out what damage can be observed on visual inspection, together with an estimate of the possible costs of repair that might be charged by a vehicle leasing company if the vehicle were returned in that condition. Our estimate is based on aggregated published data for leading car leasing companies in the UK, and is accurate to the best of our knowledge.
- If you are a personal end user, we will provide that report to you through our platform. If a third party, such as the business that hired the vehicle to you, has paid us for the report, we may also share the report with them. If you are a business end user, the report may be sent to the business that hired the vehicle, and, depending on the requirements of your business, you may receive a notification through our platform to confirm that this has happened.
- If you are a personal end user, we warrant to you that we will prepare the report using reasonable care and skill, and that the report will comply in all material respects with our description of it on the platform, noting, always bearing in mind that the quality of the report is dependant on the quality of the content which you submit to us, and on the latest information available to us.
9 Using the report
After you receive the report, you will have the option of asking us to provide either (or both) of the following further services:
- for cosmetic damage identified on the vehicle, we can provide you with the cost of having that damaged repaired by a recommended third-party repairer; and/or
- for any more extensive damage identified on the vehicle, we can contact a recommended third-party repairer on your behalf, so that the third-party repairer can provide you with an estimate for the repair of such damage.
- To allow us to provide those services, you will need to provide us with your address so that we can establish pricing for repair services at a location local to you.
- Where you ask us to contact a recommended third-party repairer on your behalf, we will request contact details from you, and you agree to us passing those details to the repairer for the sole purpose of providing you with a quote for the repair of the damage to your vehicle.
- Where we provide prices, or obtain an estimate on your behalf from a recommended third-party repairer, we do so for the sole purpose of facilitating you in establishing costs of repair, and identifying a potential provider. If you decide to use a third-party repairer, your agreement for those repair services will be with the third-party repairer and not with us. We do not guarantee the quality of any repair services which they may provide to you, and do not have any liability to you whatsoever in respect of such services.
- If a vehicle leasing company rejects a repair (or rejects a specific part of a larger repair) which was undertaken by a third-party repairer which we recommended to you, then so long as the vehicle leasing company has given a valid reason for the rejection and evidence of poor repair, we will arrange for the third-party repairer to refund to you the cost of the repair (or the cost of the relevant part). This commitment does not apply if your leasing arrangement specifies that repairs must be undertaken by the leasing company’s approved repairers.
- Where our platform contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only. Such links should not be interpreted as approval by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them.
10 Price and Payment
- If you are a personal end user, you must pay for our services by card using the payment portal on our platform at the time you submit your content and request provision of the services.
- We can share your personal or transactional information with our third party payment service provider for the purpose of processing any payments related to services selected via our platform.
11 We may commence provision of the services straight away
Where you are a personal end user, you acknowledge that, by submitting your photos and videos:
- you expressly request that we commence the provision of the services for you immediately; and
- you waive the legal right you might otherwise have as a consumer to cancel your order during a 14 day cancellation period, so that you will no longer be able to change your mind once the services have been fully performed. The services will have been fully performed when we have made the report on your vehicle available to you through the platform.
