the Schedules. Service(s) The service or various services to be

supplied to you under the Agreement, which may include maintenance, installation,

Software services, consultancy and others as indicated on the Services Schedule.

Software The computer programs incorporated into any Equipment or those that are supplied

separately by us under the Agreement.

1. PERIOD OF AGREEMENT We will provide service from either:

- The date we install the Equipment (installation date); or - The date we accept and sign this Agreement (Agreement

date). Until this Agreement is cancelled under term 7 or 14. The

Primary Period of this agreement is 60 months. At the end of the primary period, the agreement renews annually.

2. SERVICE

We will service the Equipment to prevent a fault arising or when there is a fault in the Equipment and it has been used

properly. We will provide spare parts and items that need replacing (except for items such as paper, ink sheets, toner

and consumables where applicable).

3. SERVICE NOT INCLUDED Unless agreed in writing Services do not include work needed:

1. Because you have not used, stored or handled the Equipment properly, or because you have not followed

these terms and conditions or our instructions, or those of the Equipment manufacturer.

2. On a bank or public holiday or before 9am or after 5:30pm Monday to Friday unless we agree otherwise in

writing; 3. Because you have used parts or other replaceable items

(such as toner cartridges) which are not approved by us; 4. Because you connected other fittings or accessories

which we have not approved to the Equipment; 5. Because of any disconnection and reconnection of the

Equipment, including any preparation necessary for safe

transit; 6. Because of the installation of, damage to, or modification

of the Equipment by someone else other than our representatives or because of changes required by you or

a third party. 7. Because of any malfunction or specific requirement of

any other item of Equipment or software which you have linked to our Equipment or any network to which our

Equipment is linked. 8. Because of external causes outside our control which

shall include accident, disaster or burglary. 9. To correct errors in any software not supplied by us or

because data is lost or damaged.

you must have written permission. If the Equipment is moved this Agreement may no longer be valid. We will

move the Equipment for you for an agreed fee. 2. The property the Equipment is installed in must be

suitable and in good condition. You should provide all necessary facilities such as light, electricity, ventilation

and installation space that we ask for.

5. EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE CHARGE For the print charge Equipment identified in the Services

Schedule we will charge you for the number of prints

registered on the meter(s) as having been made since your

last invoice.

We will charge you at the current cost per print as set out in the Services Schedule and varied by us in clause 7 subject to

a minimum monthly volume, Or £15 whichever is the greater. One unit is equal to a copy up to the size of an A4 sheet of

paper, (copies produced which are larger than A4 size will be charged as two units).

If our Service Technician cannot take the meter readings and

you do not tell us, then we will charge you for an estimated amount based on your previous readings. The difference

between the actual and estimated readings will be reconciled when we have a reading.

For the non print charge Equipment identified in the Services

Schedule you agree to pay the service charges set out in the Services Schedule in advance for the maintenance period,

which starts on the date of this Agreement or later if we have so specified. Another Equipment charge will become due on

each anniversary of the date of this Agreement or as otherwise indicated in the Services Schedule unless cancelled

under clause 14.

6. PAYMENT 1. Unless we agree a separate payment schedule with you

in writing, under this Agreement you must either pay our invoices in full by direct debit or, if payment is not made

by direct debit, you must pay our invoice in full within 30 days of the date of invoice subject to a 10% surcharge.

In either case, if you do not pay you agree that we will not be obliged to carry out any further obligations or

duties under the Agreement. 2. You acknowledge that all charges and fees stated exclude

VAT unless otherwise stated in writing. 3. If payment is not received in full when due, you agree to

pay interest on the unpaid amount at 5% more than the National Westminster Bank plc annual base rate.

7. CHARGE INCREASES

We can increase the charges set out in the schedule of service by 10% per annum. If the charge is increased by

more than 10% you can cancel this Agreement from the date

the new price is introduced.

You must give 30 days’ written notice.

8. SCHEDULE OF EQUIPMENT This Agreement covers the Equipment set out in the schedule

of service.

faulty when we delivered them you must tell us within 30 days of the item being delivered. We will then either replace

or repair it, or refund the cost of it.

10. LIABILITY 1. We will provide the Services detailed in the relevant

Schedule. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, you agree that our liability to you under the

Agreement for any one event or series of connected events (excluding claims under clause 2) shall not exceed

the amount you have paid under the Agreement in the preceding 6 months of any claim.

2. Nothing in this clause 10 is intended to restrict our liability for death or personal injury, which is caused by

our negligence, or for fraud. 3. Subject to sub-clause 1 we are liable for damage to

property, which is caused by our negligence.

company or other third parties, and that we have no liability in respect of such orders or for the acts or

omissions of any third party, including any finance or leasing company.

doubt we do not represent that any specific requirements you have informed us of will continue to be met should

your operating system or network operating system alter after the date of initial installation.

7. You agree that except to the extent prohibited by law, you will not otherwise hold us liable for any other claims,

actions, costs, loss, damages or expenses whatsoever. In particular we will not be liable under any circumstances

any previous Agreement for the Equipment. 2. The terms of the Agreement cannot be changed unless

the changes are put in writing and signed by a director of DMC and someone you authorise to sign the changes on

your behalf.

13. SEVERAL ITEMS This Agreement applies to each piece of Equipment

individually. If there is a dispute about some Equipment it will not affect

the Agreement for the other Equipment. The Agreement for some of the Equipment can be cancelled without affecting the

other Equipment.

- An application is made for an administrator or receiver to manage all or part of your assets;

other, that the Agreement has been broken. - You don’t pay any amount you owe after you have been

given 14 days written notice. - You give us at least six months written notice that you

wish to do so, such notice to expire after the end of the agreed primary period. If however you breach this

agreement whether by early termination, failure to pay or other breach of any term, we shall at our option, have

a right to claim for reasonable losses as follows which are due with all amounts owing to date.

- Our claim for our losses would be no more than 50% of

the payments you would have made during the period of notice, based on the greater of the minimum charge and

your average monthly copy volume. Any other payments, which are due and fall during the notice period, must be

paid.

15. INSPECTION

You must let our service engineer or authorised representative into the property where the Equipment is

installed in normal working hours to inspect, repair and service the Equipment or take meter readings. We will follow

any reasonable security and health and safety rules, which may apply at your premises.

forms part of the Agreement. The headings of terms are only for reference and they do not affect the meaning of

the Agreement. 2. Notice that the Agreement has been broken or cancelled

must be sent by prepaid recorded delivery. Any other notices, including those of price increases should be sent

by ordinary first class post. We will send notice to the address of the property where the Equipment is installed

of this Agreement. In either case the change will start on the date of our agreement or the decision.
