Terms & Conditions

Quartix, General Terms of Sale and Rental

General

These General Terms of Sale and Rental (“Terms”) shall apply to all orders for Products and/or Services sold, rented or supplied by Quartix SAS (“Quartix”) (registered on the PARIS commercial register by reference: RCS Paris 979 868 353) and shall supersede any terms and conditions that previously applied to such orders.  If the Customer has not signed an order incorporating these Terms or accepted these Terms by “clicking to agree” them on the Quartix platform, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted these Terms on payment of the first invoice to which these Terms are attached or which these Terms accompany in an invoicing email.  Each order for Products and/or Services supplied by Quartix shall constitute a separate contract between the parties, subject in each case to these Terms and the term “Contract” shall be construed accordingly. 

Consequently, unless a particular arrangement is made, the fact of issuing an order and accepting a contract implies the Customer’s full and unreserved acceptance of our Terms to the exclusion of any other document such as a brochure, a catalogue or GDPR Guideline, as these are intended only for purposes of general information.

For the purposes of this document, (i) the term “Product” covers any systems for the tracking of vehicles, terminals for such systems, antennae, cables or related equipment & accessories (including cameras and camera consumables), either specified on the order or otherwise provided to the Customer, (ii) the term “Services” covers any delivery, installation, repair, replacement or hosting of Products or the provision of data, reports or other information via whatsoever medium, either specified on the order or otherwise provided to the Customer, (iii) the term “SIM card” covers any module for identifying the subscriber as used in any one whatsoever of the Products, and (iv) the term “Customer” covers any company, any partnership, any association or any individual who/which negotiates any contract for purposes of purchasing or renting such Products or Services of Quartix for professional purposes only.

If any one of the provisions of our Terms should be found to be invalid or inapplicable by any competent Court or by any other competent authority, then the remaining clauses shall not be affected by such a judgement. The titles for the Sections of these Terms are used only for convenience of reference and organisation and shall not be used to modify, explain, or interpret any of the provisions of this Contract.  Each of the parties agrees that the content of the order confirmation and these Terms (including terms expressly incorporated herein) represent the entirety of the agreement by which it is committed to the other party.

All notices relating to these Terms as issued by either of the parties must be sent in writing and addressed to the other party’s head office or place of business.

Should any part of the Terms be translated into a language other than French, this will be done for convenience only. To the extent that the meaning in the translated version differs from that of the French version, the French version shall prevail and be regarded as definitive for all purposes.  Please see https://www.quartix.com/fr-fr/conditions-generales-de-vente-quartix/ for the latest French version.

Pricing; Payment terms

Price quotations are valid only if expressed in writing by Quartix, and exclusively for such quantities of Products and / or type of Services and for such periods as are indicated on Quartix’s estimate. Otherwise, the period of validity is 30 days.

Prices shall apply as specified in the order and are payable in euros and are subject to VAT and any other applicable taxes at the applicable rate.  Quartix reserves the right to increase such prices on an annual basis as specified in this section.

Unless agreed otherwise on the order confirmation, on the contract or on the invoice from Quartix, the pricing for equipment and communications (rental or purchase) for the first quarter is payable in advance: upon acceptance of the contract. During the following quarters, Quartix will raise a quarterly invoice payable at 30 days as from its reception by direct debit, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Payment must be available on the due date. No discount is applied by Quartix.

In the event of any failure to pay, persisting for 48 hours after a reminder to which no satisfactory response is given, the contract will be cancelled in law at the discretion of Quartix, and this will entail the obligation for the immediate return of any rented Products at the Customer’s risk and expense, without prejudice to the option of immediate foreclosure for the entirety of the instalments as yet to be paid by the end of the contract, together with any other applicable damages & interest.

The Customer may not apply any form of offset whatsoever and on whatsoever grounds.

Any amount which is not paid by its due date will place the Customer under obligation to pay fixed penalties at three times the statutory rate of interest (or 4%, whichever is higher). Penalties in lieu of delay are chargeable without any formalities and without further notice. Accordingly, they become applicable in law as from the day following the due date for payment.

Furthermore, a contractual charge of €40 for the costs of recovery will be owed to Quartix in law and without further notice in the event of any delay in payment. Quartix reserves the right to charge the Customer additional compensation if the costs of recovery actually incurred exceed the above-mentioned amount (€40) of costs of recovery – as shown by presentation of proof. The Customer must reimburse all costs incurred in the disputed collection of sums owing, including the fees charged by public officials and by lawyers.

Upon payment by automatic direct debit in favour of Quartix, payment is collected on or around the 15^th or 30^th day of the first or second month in the quarter to which the charge relates. Administration charges of €25 excluding tax are applicable if no direct debit has been set up (or one has been cancelled) by the Customer, and without notification from the Customer.

Quartix may at its discretion, on an annual basis, increase any then-current prices as follows: the increase in prices shall be a maximum of 5% higher than the percentage increase in the Labor Cost Index as published by the Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques (INSEE) in France, or a similar wage index relevant to the location of the Customer.  The index shall be taken for the year ending two months prior to the month of price increase. In no event shall this calculation result in a decrease in pricing. In the event that two invoices of the same Customer are consolidated, the weighted average of the date of the last price increase shall be used to determine the date of the next price increase on the consolidated invoice.

Delivery and installation

All dates and times of delivery are approximate, but Quartix will make every effort to adhere to them. A given time will not be the essence of any arrangement, and Quartix may not be held responsible for any loss or any damage arising from delay in delivery or failure to meet an appointment for installation. If the Customer incurs delay in the installation of one of the Products or services over and above 30 days as from the date of installation for the first Product or service featured in the order, then Quartix will be entitled to deliver the corresponding Product and services to the Customer’s delivery address, whereupon installation will be deemed fulfilled and therefore the subject of entitlement for payment.

If the installation is conducted by the Customer or by any person designated by the Customer, then Quartix may not be held responsible for any instances of damage or loss of any form arising, whether they are the direct or indirect result of negligence or of failure to adhere to Quartix’s written instructions concerning the installation of Quartix Products.

Right of ownership; Risks

The right of ownership over Quartix’s Products as acquired by the Customer will revert to the Customer following full payment of all sums owing, and up until such time the Customer must ensure that the Products are insured, safely and specifically stored separately and must keep them in perfect working order. The right of ownership over Quartix’s Products as rented by the Customer remains with Quartix, and such Products must be returned to Quartix at the Customer’s risks and expense and in perfect working order at the end of the rental term. The Customer must have maintained them in good and substantial repair during the period of such rental. Under all circumstances, the right of ownership of the SIM card remains with Quartix or with its supplier of SIM cards.

Unless otherwise provided under the Incoterm mentioned in the order confirmation, all risks relating to Quartix’s Products will transfer to the Customer upon delivery to the address designated by the Client, whether or not installation is conducted.

Product Use

The Customer shall use the Products and Services exclusively for the commercial purposes of its business and not for the private use of the Customer (or any person(s) associated with the Customer) or for any other purpose. 

The Customer shall: (i) not sell, rent or otherwise make the Products and Services available to any third party without the prior written consent of Quartix; (ii) not reproduce, modify, adapt, disassemble, decompile, recompile or reverse engineer the Products or create derivative works from them, except to the extent necessary to use the Products in accordance with these Terms; (iii) not use the Product to create any product that is substantially similar in its expression to the Product; (iv) not use the Product in any unlawful manner or transmit any material as part of its use of the Products and Services that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, infringing, harassing, discriminatory or similar; (vi) not act in such a way that the operation of the Services, or the operation of any network through with the Services are made available (a “Network”) may be jeopardised; (vii) not be involved in any fraudulent or other unauthorized use of the Network or any Services; and (viii) comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to its activities.

The Customer shall use the Products and Services only in the country in which the Products were originally delivered or in which they were originally installed.  The Customer shall not transport the Products to a different country than the country of their original delivery / installation, unless Quartix gives such written permission.  In the event that the Customer does use the Products or Services in another country, or otherwise transfers the Products to another country, Quartix shall have the right to take such action as is necessary to protect its legitimate business interests (to be determined in Quartix’s sole discretion), including but not limited to increasing the price or terminating the Contract.

The Customer agrees that it shall limit its use of those Products and Services which involve the potential for significant transfers of data (the “Variable Data Products and Services”) to a reasonable level.  The Variable Data Products and Services include but are not limited to the alerts functionality, the Quartix web service, the integrated cameras and the Quartix mobile application.  The Customer shall not overuse the Variable Data Services and shall limit the transfer of data through such Products and Services to a reasonable level.  In the event that Quartix, acting in its sole discretion, determines the Customer to be overusing or transferring too much data through any of its Variable Data Products or Services, Quartix shall have the right to take such action as is necessary to protect its legitimate business interests (to be determined in Quartix’s sole discretion), including but not limited to increasing the price, limiting the use of the Variable Data Products and Services or terminating the Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum level of use of the alerts functionality shall be deemed to be 50 alerts per TCSV per month and the maximum use of the integrated cameras shall be deemed to be 200MB per camera per month.

The Customer acknowledges that it is solely responsible for the content of the data generated by the Products, including but not limited to vehicle tracking data and camera footage.  The Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless Quartix and its officers, employees and agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any and all losses, costs, claims and liabilities whatsoever arising in any way directly or indirectly out of or in connection with the content of such data, including without limitation investigations and prosecutions, and claims for libel, slander, infringement of copyright, breach of data protection legislation, breach of other applicable laws, personal injury or death. Quartix shall be under no obligation to mitigate any of the above. 

To the extent the Customer makes use of addressing information as part of the Services, the Customer shall be bound by Google’s terms of service, available at https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=ie

Guarantees

Quartix gives the Customer its guarantee that purchased vehicle tracking terminal products (the ‘TCSVs’) are free of faults for a period of 12 months from delivery unless otherwise indicated on the order confirmation. If the TCSVs are acknowledged by Quartix to be faulty within the above-mentioned period, then Quartix will provide for their repair or replacement within a reasonable time, using new components or spares or the equivalent items. In the case of the rental of TCSVs, this guarantee will continue throughout the term of the corresponding rental.

Where a Product is not covered by warranty and Quartix agrees to issue a free of charge replacement, the Customer agrees to maintain the Services associated with that Product for a minimum period of 12 months.

This warranty shall not apply in respect of normal wear and tear to a Product or in the event that any defect, deterioration or malfunction of a Product arises due to misuse, negligence or lack of maintenance or supervision by the Customer, or due to any shock, fall or other accident involving the Product, or in the event of technological obsolescence outside of Quartix’s reasonable control, or due to the shutdown of a generation of Network by Quartix’s provider.

All Products that are not manufactured by Quartix (including, without limitation, the cameras) are subject to the terms of the warranty of the manufacturer of the Products and Quartix does not provide any warranty in respect thereof.

Quartix gives no guarantee that any Products or Services will be suitable for any particular purpose nor that the Services will continue without interruption, nor that any Products or Services will generate any financial saving or benefit for the Customer, nor that the reports, data or information supplied in the context of the envisaged Services are free of errors, omissions, instances of inaccuracy or non-compliant elements, and Quartix accepts neither liability nor obligation in relation to the Customer in this connection unless specifically mentioned as a stipulation within these Terms.

Subject to Quartix’s data protection obligations under the Contract, Quartix shall not be liable and gives no guarantee as to the security or the integrity of any connection or transmission used in the context of the envisaged Services.

Any damage caused by the Customer, by its representative or by any unauthorised third party at the stage of the installation or the utilisation of the Products will be the Customer’s full & entire responsibility. Any incorrect modifications, repairs or interventions with the Products will be the Customer’s full & entire responsibility. Any accidental damage will be the Customer’s full & entire responsibility. Quartix may not be held responsible for any damage whatsoever.

Whilst Quartix uses reasonable endeavours to minimise the risk of any security vulnerability in its systems (Quartix is only bound by an obligation of means for this purpose), the Customer acknowledges that its use of the Products and Services, and its communications with Quartix, present a level of inherent cyber risk, particularly where the Customer does not itself implement adequate cyber security measures.

As such, subject at all times to its data processing obligations under the Contract, Quartix shall not be liable for any direct or indirect loss incurred by the Customer as a result of any virus, malware or other harmful software introduced to the Customer’s information systems, or any third-party access unlawfully gained to the Customer’s information systems, where such events take place beyond the reasonable control of Quartix.

High-Risk Disclaimer

Quartix Products and Services are not fault-tolerant and are not designed or intended for use in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, weapons systems, life support machines or any other application in which the failure of the Products or Services could lead directly to death, personal injury or severe physical or property damage (collectively, “High-Risk Activities”). Quartix expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for High-Risk Activities.

SIM cards

The Customer may not remove, nor permit nor authorise any third parties to remove, any SIM Card from any one whatsoever of the Products. The Customer is responsible for the loss or theft and for any malicious use (including fraudulent or improper use) of SIM cards.

Confidentiality

The Customer and Quartix undertake, throughout the duration of the Contract and without any time limit after the Contract expires for whatsoever reason, to observe the most comprehensive confidentiality concerning the information which they have received from each other, and they agree to refrain from reproducing or disclosing (either directly or indirectly) any information, knowledge or know-how, whether it relates to their party in contract, to its activities or to the projects to which the parties may have gained access in the course of execution of their contract, unless such information, knowledge or know-how has lawfully entered into the Public domain or is required to be disclosed by law. Confidential information may include, albeit not exhaustively listed: business plans, lists of customers, operational & technical data and the drawings for products.

Liability

Quartix’s responsibility may be incurred only in the event of proven fault or negligence, and it will be restricted to direct losses, to the exclusion of any indirect loss whatsoever, be it material or intangible, or – in particular – financial.

In order for the Customer to substantiate its rights, it must – on penalty of invalidity of any corresponding action – send written notice to Quartix within a maximum timeframe of eight days as from the discovery of any grounds for claim, including conditional grounds, for incurring Quartix’s responsibility.

Quartix’s total responsibility with regard to any complaint or with regard to all complaints arising from a deficient action on Quartix’s part (per instance of deficient action, per contract, per instance of negligence or other cause) may not exceed the total amount paid by the Customer for such Products or Services as are the subject of such complaint. In the event of any complaint against Quartix for disruption in Services or any error in the information provided, Quartix’s liability may not exceed the total price paid by the Customer for the Services for the period of such disruption or for any such errors and will be restricted exclusively to the Products for which the Services were intended.

Quartix may not be held liable in relation to the Customer for any financial losses whatsoever (including, albeit not listed exhaustively: losses of income, losses of profit, lost contracts, lost business or anticipated savings) and including either specific or indirect losses.

Refunds and Cancellations

Once paid, fees for Products and Services are non-refundable unless Quartix chooses, acting in its sole discretion, to refund the payment or it is legally obliged to do so.

The following charges are applicable to Quartix’s Products and Services on cancellation of a Product rental, a Service or the Contract:
