The Company is responsible only for delivery of the Hardware explicitly specified in the Contract.

Delay in hardware delivery or service delivery does not give any right to cancellation of an order or right to any compensation whatsoever, except in case of voluntary breach by the Company.

In no case will such partial delivery be able to justify refusal to pay by the Client, or the User, or the Reseller for the products delivered. When circumstances make the execution of the delivery impossible – in particular in all cases of force majeure such as strikes, lock-out, accident, bad weather, blockade, importation or exportation bans, suspension of production or delivery by the manufacturer, Sauf convention écrite expresse contraire, les délais de livraison ne sont donnés qu’à titre indicatif. Un retard dans la livraison ou la prestation ne peut donner lieu à l’annulation d’une commande ni à indemnité, sauf faute volontaire de la part de la Société. La Société se réserve le droit de procéder à des livraisons partielles. En aucun cas pareille livraison partielle ne pourra justifier le refus de paiement des produits livrés. Lorsque les circonstances rendent impossible l’exécution de la livraison – notamment dans tous les cas de force majeure tels que grève, lock-out, accident, intempérie, blocus, défense d’importation ou d’exportation, cessation de production ou de livraison par le constructeur, and any other event recognised by Belgian case-law as being a case of force majeure – the Company reserves the right to offer to supply the Client with products equivalent to the Hardware ordered or to terminate its commitments to the Client if the inability to deliver the Hardware extends beyond a one-month period or if the Client refuses the equivalent products offered by the Company, all without indemnity.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, charges for delivery, removal and return of the Hardware supplied to the Client are payable by the Client. The Hardware is transported strictly at the risk of the Client.

In the event of the Client’s failure to perform its contractual obligations, the Company reserves the right, pursuant to this clause, to withdraw the Hardware belonging to it, and which is in the Client’s possession or any third party’s possession, at the Client’s expense. The Client must provide any and all assistance necessary to the withdrawal of said hardware.

e. Common Provisions

24. Prices

The prices shown on the price lists and offers from the Company are purely indicative and can be modified at any time. In case of a price increase for the Hardware delivered or Services provided by a Third Party after concluding the contract, the Company has the right to pass on this increase, by registered letter, to the Client. This resulting increase will be deemed accepted by the Client five working days after the date of sending such notification, except if the Company receives an opposition letter from the Client by registered post and within the same time as stated herein. Should the Client fail to agree, each party has the right to unilaterally cancel the Contract by registered letter and without any compensation whatsoever.

All prices are net, ex works from the Company’s registered office, excluding VAT, expenses and other taxes. The Hardware delivery is at the Client’s risk, even in the case of products sold or delivered free (i.e.franco).

Any deposits paid by the Client or the Reseller against any outstanding order shall count towards the total amount of the order. They are a beginning of execution of the Contract and not a deposit whose abandonment would allow the Client to be released from its obligations under this Contract.

25. Terms of payment

All Company’s invoices are payable in full, net and without discount, at the Company’s registered office, subject to other payment terms detailed on case by case basis and specified on the invoice.

In the case of payment default of all, or part, of an invoice, the total amount due, or the remaining amount due, is increased as of right and without any prior official notification by interest of 10% per year for any month being due. Furthermore, any invoice unpaid when due will automatically incur administration fee of 50 EUR. Lastly, failure to pay an invoice on its due date may indicate the Client’s insolvency and as such the Company has the right to accelerate maturity and require payments of all open invoices that the Company has outstanding with the Client at that time. In addition, delay or failure of payment of outstanding invoice gives the Company the right to suspend all its obligations under this Contract and terminate all or some of the existing Client’s and Reseller’s Contracts by providing a written notice via registered post but without any indemnity whatsoever.

Any claim relating to an invoice must be sent by registered mail within five working days of receipt, which is presumed to take place within 5 working days of the date shown by the invoice.

The right to terminate as per Article 1794 of the Civil Code is not applicable.

Non-payment of overdue invoices gives the Company the right to suspend as of right and without notice all current orders and to suspend or terminate all current subscriptions.

If the Client fails to return the goods to the Company, the Company reserves the right to remove the goods directly or through third parties. In the event that a sale is cancelled in full or in part as a result of any negligence or breach on the part of the Client, the Client shall pay the Company an irreducible lump sum indemnity for the costs incurred and the loss suffered equal to 30% of the selling price of the goods resulting in cancellation. This indemnity is due to the Company without prejudice to the Company’s claim for reimbursement of the costs incurred in having the goods returned and restored to their original condition. Furthermore, the interruption or termination of subscription services does not under any circumstances result in a refund or payment of damages to the Client or User.

27. General limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by the laws in force, except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct, the total liability of the Company arising from this Contract is expressly limited to the price actually paid by the Client for the Hardware if the damage is caused by the Hardware or, if applicable, the price paid by the Client to the Company during the 12 months prior to the damage being sustained if this is caused by fault on the part of the Company as part of the Services or of the Software. This limitation of liability, which is an essential condition of the Company’s commitment, applies regardless of whether the acts or negligence are attributable to the Company or to its processors or Third Parties, irrespective of the applicable liability regime, including, but not limited to, contractual liability, liability in tort, no-fault liability, latent defects liability, etc. In particular, the Company declines all liability arising from misuse, by the Client or User, of Company’s products or inconvenience or damages caused by malfunction or lack of coverage of telecommunications networks.

28. Company indemnity

This guarantee covers any compensation that may be due as well as legal costs within a reasonable limit.

29. Data protection

The SIM card may not be removed from the GPS box and may not be used in a terminal and/or for a service other than those provided by the Company, on pain of specific telephone charges and fines. The Client instructs the Company to proceed with the collection, processing, storage and use of ground data to the extent this proves necessary for the performance of this Contract and the improvement of Services. For this reason, the Company keeps a register of all the categories of processing activities carried out on the Client’s behalf as part of the performance of its service and the use of the Service by the Client.

The Company informs the Client that the data collected during the use of the Services can be accessed by the Client on its platform for a maximum period of three months. It is up to the Client to save the data beyond that date, in compliance with the legal and regulatory obligations.

If the Company processes personal data on behalf of the Client, it is then acting as a processor within the meaning of the legislation in force on the processing of personal data and the parties will conclude, prior to any processing of these personal data, a personal data processing contract in accordance with Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.

Any personal data processed by the Company as the controller will be processed in accordance with its privacy policy.

The Company may share publicly, as well as with its partners (publishers, advertisers or associated sites), anonymised and aggregated data which cannot personally identify the Client. The Company may thus publicly share information relating to usage trends for the Service.

The Company may transfer to its partners or third parties anonymised and aggregated data (without possibility of individualisation, correlation or inference) notably for the purpose of improving cartographic data.

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition or any other form of transfer of assets, it is committed to ensuring the confidentiality of the Client’s personal data.

30. Miscellaneous

For the entire duration of the Contract and for a period of twelve months following its termination, the Client is prohibited from employing (or attempting to employ) directly or indirectly any Company staff, officers, consultants or representatives, under penalty of compensation equivalent to the last twelve

(12) months of gross remuneration of the staff member, officer, consultant or representative concerned, without prejudice to compensation for higher damages, if applicable.

The fact that one party has not relied on a specific right or temporary has not exercised a right does not imply renouncing this right.

The invalidity of any clause or part of a clause in this Contract shall not affect the other provisions or parts of clauses and the provisions or part of a clause concerned shall be replaced whenever possible by a valid provision of equivalent economic effect.

The appendices attached to this Contract are an integral part of it. The English version is purely indicative. The French version of the Contract prevails.
