9.2.b Successive payment

Once the term of the initial subscription period has expired, access to the Platforms is payable in arrears for the following year on each anniversary date. The minimum subscription period is 12 months.

  1. right of withdrawal & cancellation

10.1. Termination at term

Your subscription to FUEL IT is concluded for an initial fixed period of time as specified in the quote.

Upon expiration of the initial term and successive commitment periods, the subscription to the “Platforms” is tacitly renewed for a new period of 12 months, unless one of the Parties has requested its express termination by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt at least two (2) months before the expiration date.

The Customer is aware that the economic model of THE FOURDATA COMPANY implies that only the subscription for a duration of 36 months allows to reach a remuneration equivalent to the initial price of the FUEL IT and the included services. As such, at the end of the 36-month contract, the Customer may terminate his subscription without paying any additional fees. In this particular case, the Customer will have access to the FUEL IT service, but will no longer benefit from the maintenance service.

However, if the Customer does not wish to be committed for such a long period, THE FOUR FACTOR COMPANY offers shorter subscription periods of 12 or 24 months. In order to compensate for the losses incurred by THE FOUR FACTOR COMPANY at the end of contracts of less than 36 months, a deblocking fee will be charged to the Client who does not wish to renew his subscription and who wishes to continue to use FUEL IT without a subscription. Thus:

– If the termination takes place at the end of the 12 months, the Customer will be charged a €90 FUEL IT unblocking fee, so that the Customer can continue to obtain the data collected in the mobile application. The maintenance service will therefore be excluded.

– If the termination takes place at the end of the 24 month subscription, the Customer will be charged a €45 FUEL IT unlocking fee so that the Customer can continue to obtain the data collected in the mobile application. The maintenance service will therefore be excluded.

If the Client does not wish to continue using the FUEL IT sensor at the end of the 12, 24 or 36 month subscription, no compensation will be claimed from the Client.

10.2. Early termination

If the Customer wishes to terminate his contract before its term, he will be required to pay all the remaining monthly instalments as compensation for the damage suffered by THE FOURDATA COMPANY.

Also, in the event that the Client wishes to continue to use the FUEL IT and therefore to have access to the data, he will be required, in addition to the predefined compensation, to pay the unblocking fees corresponding to the duration of the subscription, as indicated above.

In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the Customer has a period of fourteen (14) days from receipt of the Product to exercise his right of withdrawal from the Seller, without having to justify his reasons or pay any penalty, for the purpose of exchange or reimbursement, provided that the Products are returned in their original packaging and in perfect condition within fourteen (14) days following notification to the Seller of the Customer’s decision to withdraw.

Returns must be made in their original condition and complete (packaging, accessories, instructions …) accompanied by the purchase invoice. Damaged, soiled or incomplete products are not accepted.

The right of withdrawal can be exercised

  • Either online, using the withdrawal form available on the Site, in which case an acknowledgement of receipt on a durable medium shall be immediately communicated to the Customer by the Seller,
  • Or by a letter to the Seller informing him of his desire to exercise his right of withdrawal. (See model on the Site)

In case of exercising the right of withdrawal within the above-mentioned period, only the price of the Product(s) purchased and the standard shipping costs are reimbursed, the return costs remaining at the Customer’s charge.

The exchange (subject to availability) or refund, at the discretion of the Customer, shall be made within fourteen (14) days from the receipt by the Seller of the Products returned by the Customer in accordance with the conditions set forth in this Article.
