5 Provisions of the Service and the Additional Services

If the Subscriber has opted to receive any part of the Services the following shall apply:-

5.1 Subject to these Terms, Enigma will use all reasonable endeavours to maintain the Service and the Additional Services available to the Subscriber;

  1. For the subscription period if the Product is purchased outright immediately;
  2. For the appropriate monitoring period specified in the Contract if the Product is purchased on a Flex-e Purchase, Lease or Rental contract.

5.2 Upon becoming aware, or suspecting, that the vehicle has been stolen, the Subscriber must immediately take the following steps:-

  1. Notify the Police and obtain a Police Crime Reference Number in respect of the theft, then;
  2. Inform Enigma, or its appointed 24 hour Monitoring Bureau quoting the Police Crime Reference Number and indicating the Police Station or Police Force which has been notified. Enigma will then verify with the Police that the vehicle is officially logged as stolen with the Police National Computer, and if so, will provide information for the purpose of location of the vehicle. A vehicle shall be treated as stolen for the purposes of Enigma providing the Service only if it is so officially logged. Neither Enigma nor the Police will be liable for any damage of whatever nature arising out of or incidental to the Subscriber’s failure to follow the above steps or any other instructions by Enigma for use of the Service.

5.3 The Subscriber shall at all times follow the instructions provided by Enigma for the use of the Service. The Subscriber will be notified once the stolen vehicle has been located.

5.4 If the Subscriber has opted to receive the Bureau Monitoring Services:-

  1. subject to and following compliance with condition 8.1(c) Enigma or the Bureau shall as soon as reasonably practicable verify with the relevant police force that the relevant Equipment is officially logged with the Police National Computer and, if so, provide information within Enigma’s possession to the relevant Police Force for the purpose of assisting the relevant Police Force to locate the Equipment;
  2. Enigma or the Bureau shall use its reasonable endeavours to monitor for signals transmitted by the Tracking System indicating unauthorised movement of any relevant Equipment and if it detects any such signals will notify the Subscriber of that fact. Once the Subscriber confirms that the vehicle is stolen they shall immediately follow the steps, and comply with Enigma’s instructions, as set out in clause 5.2. Owing to the nature of wireless communication Enigma cannot guarantee that it will receive any signals transmitted by the Tracking System installed on the Equipment, nor, having received the signals, that it will be able to make immediate, or any, contact with the Subscriber. Enigma shall not be liable to the Subscriber for any damage of whatever nature arising out of or incidental to Enigma’s delay or failure in so receiving the signals or in making contact with the Subscriber.

5.5 Enigma reserves the right, should Subscriber action or inaction result in repeated false alarm signals to Enigma, to charge the Subscriber a sum to compensate it for its wasted time and effort in following up such false alarms, and/or terminate the Service and/or the Additional Services.

5.6 Due to the many factors outside its control, Enigma does not warrant that the Service will lead to the location of the Subscriber’s stolen vehicle. The Service and the Additional Services are not available outside the Territory unless otherwise agreed.

5.7 Enigma shall use its reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates specified or agreed in relation to the provision of such Services but such dates shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for the performance of the Contract.

5.8 Enigma does not warrant that the performance by it of any of the Services will lead to the location of any stolen Equipment.

6 Subscriptions

6.1 All subscription charges and other payments under these Terms are payable in advance. The initial Subscription Period commences on the date of the installation of the Product. No Subscription period shall be for less than 1 month. Subscriptions may be renewed. Enigma will notify the Subscriber at least 14 days prior to the expiry of any Subscription Period of any variation in subscription charges and these Terms. Subscription charges are not refundable.

6.2 Enigma reserves the right at any time to vary the purchase price of the Product and with effect from the commencement of the next Subscription period, these Terms and the subscription charges for the Service and the Additional Services.

6.3 The availability of the Service and the Additional Services shall be conditional at all times upon compliance by the Subscriber with these Terms. In the event of any breach of these Terms, including any default in the payment of subscription charges, Enigma shall be under no obligation to provide the Service or the Additional Services.

6.4 The system and monitoring and the charges relating thereto are designed and limited for use in the UK. If vehicles/machines with systems fitted are taken outside of the UK they will incur increased network roaming charges. These charges will be passed onto the Subscriber along with an administration charge of £25.00.

7 Warranty

7.1 If the Product becomes inoperative or develops faults by reason of defective components, workmanship or design within 12 months of purchase, Enigma will (at its option) repair or replace the Product free of charge. Enigma shall have no such obligation if the Product (or its installation) has been tampered with, modified, repaired (except by persons authorised by Enigma) or has otherwise been subject to misuse or accident. This shall be the Subscriber’s sole remedy in respect of the supply of defective Product. Enigma reserves the right from time to time to modify the Product.

  4. keep the Tracking System at its own expense in good repair, condition and working order.

8.3 In the event that any loss or damage occurs to the Tracking System or the Equipment within which the Tracking System operates the Subscriber shall notify Enigma forthwith and shall be responsible for the cost of making good the damage and/or replacing the Tracking System and should it fail to do so the Subscriber shall indemnify Enigma against all losses, costs, claims, damages and expenses sustained by Enigma as a result. For the avoidance of doubt the continuance of this Contract or the Subscriber’s liability to pay all sums due under this Contract shall not be affected in any way by the loss, theft or damage to or any defect in the Tracking System.

8.4 If Enigma’s performance of its obligations under the Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of the Subscriber, its agents or employees, Enigma shall not be liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by the Subscriber arising directly or indirectly for such prevention or delay.

15.5 If Enigma complies with condition 15.4 it shall have no further liability to be for a breach of any the warranty in condition 15.1 in respect of each Tracking System.

16 Intellectual Property

  1. for death or personal injury caused by Enigma’s negligence; or
