3 Scope of these Conditions

3.1

These Conditions apply to the use of the MotorQuotesOnline English language website for use in the United Kingdom. On registration with MotorQuotesOnline a Membership Agreement is entered into between the User and us, the content of which is in accordance with these Conditions. The details of the Membership Agreement are as set out in clause 5. In order to initiate Quotation Procedures or participate in Quotation Procedures, the User must register and enter into a Membership Agreement. As part of the registration process the User must expressly agree to these Conditions. On agreeing to the Conditions, the User who is registering agrees that these Conditions constitute a binding part of the Membership Agreement. The version of the Conditions current at any particular time can be accessed via a link at the bottom of each page of MotorQuotesOnline.

3.2

The Conditions are only directly binding between the Member and us. Save where expressly stated otherwise and only to the extent so stated no provision of these Conditions shall be enforceable under The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and these Conditions do not give rise to any legal contracts, claims or other benefits or protection between Members or in favour of third parties or with a protective effect for third parties. This applies also insofar as these Conditions contain provisions relevant to the relationship between the relevant Members (e.g. concerning the entry into or contents of a contract between a Customer and a Contractor).

3.3

Supplementary conditions apply to certain functions, services or areas of MotorQuotesOnline (e.g. where applicable escrow services, partner programme, "Customers attract Customers" programme, "Certified Member", and making payments by using external payment systems). These Conditions expressly incorporate such supplementary conditions. The Member is referred to such supplementary conditions before carrying out the specific function or utilising the specific service. The Member expressly agrees to the supplementary conditions in each case and recognises that these are also binding upon him and that use of such functions, services or areas will amount to acceptance of the relevant supplementary conditions.

4 General provisions for using MotorQuotesOnline

4.1

When using MotorQuotesOnline the User must observe and comply with the law in force and the provisions contained in these Conditions. This applies in particular to the nature, content and description of the items posted, e.g., Enquiries, forum entries and assessments.

4.2

We expressly draw to the attention of Users that they should not use MotorQuotesOnline for illegal activities. It is prohibited to submit Enquiries to be carried out in breach of the law such as by cash in hand or other method of remuneration for the purpose of not paying relevant taxes or statutory payments. This also applies to negotiations or any activities in preparation for illegal activities for such purposes, such as cancelling Enquiries or not placing Jobs.

4.3

We also expressly refer to the fact that both the provision of and remuneration for services in certain sectors may be governed by statutory or other regulations and cannot therefore be freely negotiated. It is the responsibility of Members, particularly a Bidder submitting a Quotation, to check for any such restrictions and ensure that they comply with them including where relevant drawing such restrictions to the attention of the other party.

5 Purpose, transfer and termination of the Membership Agreement

5.1

The purpose of the Membership Agreement is solely to allow access to MotorQuotesOnline on the basis of these Conditions, the schedule of fees and where appropriate the relevant supplementary conditions (see clause 3.3). The Membership Agreement does not include any services of an intermediary, broker or similar.

5.2

Access to view public areas of the MotorQuotesOnline website (in accordance with these Conditions) is open to any User. The use of further functions or services (e.g. posting Enquiries and the participation in Quotation Procedures), requires prior registration as a Member.

5.3

We provide MotorQuotesOnline in the form and with the functions and services in each case on an “as is” and “as available” basis on the website. We cannot and do not guarantee that the services on MotorQuotesOnline will meet a User’s requirements or that access to MotorQuotesOnline will be uninterrupted or error-free. A User is not entitled to the provision or continuation of any specific functions or services and nor does a Membership Agreement entitle a Member to access to, or to the continued availability of, any specific functions or services. We are entitled to change the content of the available functions and services, to suspend them temporarily or permanently, to introduce new functions and to make any functions subject to specified conditions.

5.4

We only operate the technical platform on which Members can place Jobs. We therefore act only as a technical service provider. The Member expressly acknowledges and accepts the statements set out in this clause 5.4 concerning our role including the following:

5.4.1

We are not a broker or intermediary of any type.

5.4.2

We are not involved with, or in the performance of, the Jobs placed on the platform whether as a contracting party or a representative or agent of a contracting party or in any other way.

5.4.3

Notifications which the MotorQuotesOnline system generates in connection with an Enquiry, a Quotation or a Quotation Procedure are provided only for the information of the Member concerned. Where these notifications contain statements with any legal significance, these are deemed to be given by the party concerned.

5.4.4

Where a contract for carrying out a Job is concluded by using MotorQuotesOnline, only the Members entering into it (Customer and Contractor) are parties to the contract for that Job.

5.4.5

For all matters relating to a Job, (e.g. concerning agreements as to payment, timescales or warranty claims), the Member should in all cases contact the other contracting Member.

5.4.6

Jobs are carried out exclusively between the Customer and the Contractor.

5.4.7

We are not responsible for, nor obliged to receive or process, complaints against other Members nor to mediate in or resolve disputes between Members, unless the complaint concerns the performance of our legal or contractual obligations.

5.5

We are entitled to transfer our rights and obligations under the Membership Agreement entirely or partially to a third party by giving not less than four weeks' notice to the Member. If the Member does not agree to the transfer, the Member can terminate the Membership Agreement with immediate effect, e.g. by closing his Member's account.

5.6

Both we and the Member can terminate the Membership Agreement at any time by notice effective immediately. When a Member gives notice of termination, he agrees that Jobs posted but not yet placed at the time of termination and Quotations not yet accepted are void and no longer have any effect. We will delete any such Enquiries and Quotations on receipt of the notice of termination or immediately afterwards. Such actions shall not give rise to any liability on our part.

6 Registration / Data / Privacy

6.1

As stated in clause 5.2 above, to use any functions other than searching for Jobs (e.g. entering Enquiries or submitting Quotations) registration as a Member is required. The User has no right to registration or activation as a Member in order to use additional functions of MotorQuotesOnline. Clicking the "Register" button and subsequent (1) activation of the Member account and (2) confirmation of registration by us forms a binding Membership Agreement with us, the contents of which are as set out in these Conditions.

6.2

Only legal entities and natural persons aged 18 or over with full legal capacity may register. A legal entity can only be registered by a natural person who is authorised to do so and whose name must be given.

6.3

The information requested during registration and for drawing up the Member's profile must be given fully and truthfully. After registration this data, in particular the address and other contact data, and in the case of Contractors the additional information in the Member's profile, must always be kept up-to-date via the Member's account. Regardless of this obligation of the Member, we cannot and do not give any guarantee as to accuracy or completeness of the information supplied, such as for example details of the address, qualifications, references or creditworthiness. Each Member, in particular the Customer, must therefore check for himself any information which is of importance to him concerning the other participants in the Quotation Procedure. We will however investigate reports made to us about inaccurate information and if appropriate will challenge the Member concerned to correct it or will block or remove the information.

6.4

The membership name selected by the Member on registration must not infringe any valid right, offend common decency or harm the rights of third parties. In addition it must not include the term “MotorQuotesOnline” or any similar term or one which may be confused with it. The Member's name and password are to be kept secret, unless it is necessary to disclose them to use MotorQuotesOnline e.g. when individual functions or services of MotorQuotesOnline are provided by third parties and it is necessary to log on to take advantage of these. When requested to communicate or enter the Member's name and password the Member must always check, to the extent that is possible and reasonable for him to do so, whether this request is from MotorQuotesOnline or from an authorised third party.

6.5

It is not permitted to set up more than one Member's account for the same natural person or legal entity.

6.6

The Member may not assign the Membership Agreement. The Member's account is not transferable.

6.7

Members who hold certain special qualifications indicated in the Member's profile (e.g. diplomas, certificates, membership of associations, societies etc.) shall within seven days of registration and activation of the account send copies of the relevant documentation to us. If possible the documents are to be presented in one transmission. If this obligation is not fulfilled, we reserve the right not to grant the Member activation or to ban him.

7 General rules on conducting Quotation Procedures

7.1

Once a Job has been posted on MotorQuotesOnline as an Enquiry it must not be offered in any other way whilst it is still open to Bidders. If the Customer wants to place the Job outside MotorQuotesOnline, the Customer must withdraw the Enquiry beforehand by means of the function available for this purpose. Refer to clause 11 of these Conditions for the details and consequences of withdrawing a Job.

7.2

Members may submit offers to carry out Jobs only in the form of a Quotation relating to the Enquiry concerned. If the Customer receives offers in relation to an Enquiry posted by him in a form other than as a Quotation, e.g. as an entry in the Job forum or outside MotorQuotesOnline, the Customer must ask the User concerned to submit the offer to carry out the Job in the form of a Quotation on MotorQuotesOnline. In the case of a Customer placing a Job with persons or firms who have offered via MotorQuotesOnline in whatever form to carry out the Job where the contact with such persons or firms was initiated via MotorQuotesOnline, the Customer may place that Job only via MotorQuotesOnline in accordance with clause 12.1. Insofar as no price was stated in the Enquiry, we shall calculate the compensation according to the highest Quotation and, if none has been submitted, on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the Job value. We reserve the right to charge for additional costs we incur in connection with such breaches e.g. appropriate processing fees. The Member reserves the right to provide proof of lower losses.

7.3

Members are not allowed to refer to external websites or give out telephone numbers or other information to enable personal contact to be made between the Customer and the Bidder outside MotorQuotesOnline in relation to Quotation Procedures, unless making contact helps only to establish or give a more precise description of the Job, the conditions of performance, the calculation of the price quoted (see clause 10.2 of these Conditions in this connection) or to fulfil legal obligations. It is an express provision of these Conditions that for a Job posted on MotorQuotesOnline as an Enquiry, Quotations can only be submitted via MotorQuotesOnline and the Job can only be placed via MotorQuotesOnline(see clause 7.2). When participating in a Quotation Procedure (as a Customer or Bidder) Members should check the e-mail inbox in their Member's account on a daily basis for new messages.

7.4

Once a Quotation for a Job posted on MotorQuotesOnline has been accepted by the Customer in accordance with clause 12.1, the contracting parties - Customer and Bidder - should make contact with each other after the validity period of the Enquiry ends. Failure to comply with this obligation can lead to suspension or blocking of the Member's account.

7.5

By participating in Quotation Procedures the Members undertake to pay the Fees for Use according the schedule of fees.

8 Posting Jobs and their content / Prohibited Enquiries

8.1

8.1 Posting a Job as an Enquiry constitutes a non-binding request from the Customer for Members to submit Quotations for the Job posted. A Job is only placed by a Bidder being selected to carry out the Job and his Quotation being accepted in accordance with the procedures set out in clause 11.1.

8.2

8.2 The Customer must describe the Job as accurately and fully as possible in the Job description when posting the Enquiry to give Bidders a reliable basis for calculation. All Quotations and other statements as to prices, e.g. the price stated by the Customer when posting the Enquiry, must relate to the complete Job in each case. Quotations must not be broken down into individual items, e.g. to a price per unit of time or a price per unit of area or unit of volume, unless the Bidder uses the functions provided specifically for this purpose.

8.3

It is prohibited to post Enquiries which infringe the law, the rights of third parties, the provisions of the Membership Agreement or common decency. This applies in particular to Enquiries:

which contravene or are designed to allow contravention of any legal requirements relating to payments of taxes or other statutory payments,
for services which it is prohibited by law to offer, market or apply for (e.g. unauthorised gambling),
which may jeopardise the health or safety of persons or animals,
which infringe our copyright or other intellectual property rights or those of a third party
in which permissible services are linked together in an unauthorised manner, or
in which the remuneration is to be paid exclusively or partially in the form of e.g. commission depending on volume of sales.

We reserve the right to delete such Enquiries.

9 General rules on submitting Quotations

9.1

Quotations for carrying out a Job posted as an Enquiry on MotorQuotesOnline must only be submitted via MotorQuotesOnline using the functions provided for this purpose and before the expiry of the Enquiry deadline. Members undertake not to communicate any Quotations for carrying out the Job to the Customer outside MotorQuotesOnline.

9.2

Each Quotation must indicate the sum which the Bidder actually intends to invoice to the Customer for carrying out the Job. Quotations must always be stated as gross sums including the applicable value added tax. This also applies even if the Customer is authorised to deduct input tax. The indication of net prices is only permitted if the Customer expressly requests or permits this. Bidders are responsible for determining any matters relevant to their calculation before submitting the Quotation, and if appropriate should - in their own interest – arrange a site meeting with the Customer to view the conditions for performance of the Job.

9.3

Submitting bogus Quotations with the aim of reducing the Fees for Use is prohibited. This includes splitting up Jobs with a fixed overall volume into smaller units (see clause 8.2), unless functions specifically provided on MotorQuotesOnline for this purpose are used. We point out that fraudulent breach of this provision can be a punishable offence. We reserve the right to take such action as we reasonably consider appropriate in the event of any such activity including without limitation immediate suspension or termination of the Membership Agreement of the Members involved and, in the case of the Bidder, by applying the compensation provisions of clause 7.2.

9.4

The Bidder remains bound by a Quotation entered on MotorQuotesOnline and not withdrawn in accordance with clause 11 for a period up to four weeks beyond the end of the validity period of the Enquiry. By submitting a Quotation the Bidder undertakes to carry out the Job even if the Customer only gives him the Job during the Examination Period in accordance with clause 12 or during the period of two weeks after it has ended (provision with protective effect for third parties in accordance with clause 3.2).

10 Withdrawal of Enquiries and Quotations

10.1

Enquiries and Quotations can be withdrawn before the final placing of a Job using the functions provided for this as long as the validity period of the Enquiry has not yet ended.

10.2

Enquiries and Quotations which have been withdrawn are listed in the Member’s profile. On withdrawal the respective Enquiry or Quotation is treated as not having been posted. This applies to Enquiries which have been withdrawn even if one or more Quotations have already been submitted in response to the Enquiry. Every Member declares on acceptance of these Conditions at the time of registration and entry into the Membership Agreement that for this purpose with regard to the specific postings (Enquiry and Quotation) it grants the other Members participating in an Enquiry in each case a corresponding right of withdrawal. At the same time each Member waives all claims for compensation for expenditure or damages which may exist regardless of the party against whom they are directed (provisions with protective effect for third parties in accordance with clause 3.2).

11 Placing Jobs

11.1

A Job is placed via MotorQuotesOnline by the Customer accepting a Quotation submitted in response to his Enquiry. A Quotation can be accepted in one of the two following ways:

11.1.1

Active placing of a Job (before or after the end of the validity period of the Enquiry): To place a Job actively the Customer expressly accepts one of the Quotations submitted for his Enquiry by using the functions provided for this purpose in the MotorQuotesOnline system. By this action the Customer expressly accepts the Quotation and confirms his intention to be unconditionally bound by it.

11.2

From the end of the validity period of the Enquiry there is a period of fourteen days ("Examination Period") to enable the Customer to examine the Quotations received in response to his Enquiry. The Customer is entitled to examine the Quotations during the Examination Period and is advised to do so. If the Customer considers that a Quotation is suitable, he can place the Job via MotorQuotesOnline. If the Customer does not want to accept any of the Quotations he can refrain from placing a Job by not actively placing it.

11.3

The conclusion of a contract and fulfilment of the contract in the case of Jobs placed via MotorQuotesOnline take place according to general contract law. Thus in particular the cancellation or termination of a contract concluded between the Customer and the Contractor is only possible when the relevant legal requirements are fulfilled. Insofar as MotorQuotesOnline provides functions for effecting withdrawal or declaring cancellation after the Examination Period has expired, these do not grant any rights extending beyond the statutory and other legal rights relating to the performance of the contract between the Customer and the Contractor (see clause 5.4 concerning our role and the role of the parties to a contract for a Job).

12 Rating system

12.1

After the end of a Quotation Procedure, Members have the opportunity to rate their specific contractual partner using the MotorQuotesOnline rating system. The aim of the rating system is to build up a meaningful profile of the performance, reliability and trustworthiness of Members.

12.2

To achieve the aim mentioned above, each Member must give only objective and truthful comments when rating other Members. There should not be any statements made contrary to the objective of the rating system, in particular there should be no unnecessary, irrelevant or insulting statements. Any such statements may result in complete or partial deletion of the rating, suspension of the Member, termination of the Membership Agreement and/or other appropriate measures.

13 Fees for Use

13.1

We charge Fees for Use according to the schedule of fees available on MotorQuotesOnline. The Member who uses chargeable functions on MotorQuotesOnline is required to pay these Fees for Use. Chargeable functions and events are defined within the schedule of fees.

13.2

The Fees for Use are the consideration for using chargeable functions of MotorQuotesOnline. They are not dependent on the actual performance of the Jobs placed via MotorQuotesOnline. The obligation to pay Fees for Use therefore still applies if a Job is placed via MotorQuotesOnline, but subsequently it is not carried out and/or a contract concluded between the Members concerning the performance of a Job is later terminated. We may waive our right to receive Fees for Use, as a gesture of goodwill, if it is proven to our reasonable satisfaction that a Job placed via MotorQuotesOnline has genuinely not been carried out. The grant of any such waiver is entirely within our absolute discretion and if so granted is always without accepting any legal obligation to do so.

13.3

Unless defined otherwise in the schedule of fees the total of the Fees for Use is determined on the basis of the amounts stated in the Quotation Procedure (price stated by the Customer in the Enquiry, price quoted and price on placing the Job) and is calculated according to the figures stored in the MotorQuotesOnline system. This amount therefore serves only as a basis for assessment. It is therefore irrelevant whether the amount is gross or in exceptional cases a net amount (see clause 10.2).

13.4

The Fees for Use become due on receipt of the invoice. The invoice is sent to the e-mail address stated in the Member's account of the party responsible for payment after the Examination Period in accordance with clause 12.3 has expired. The invoice must be paid immediately or, if a period for payment is stated in the invoice, then within that period. Payments are to be made to our account without any discount. The Member shall comply with any additional instructions concerning payment which may be contained in the invoice. Our rights relating to interest on late payments and right to recover shall not be affected.

Any additional costs which we may incur in respect of the recovery of Fees for Use (e.g. bank charges incurred through the Member or expenditure caused by default), are to be borne by the Member concerned in addition to the sum payable for Fees for Use. For each appropriate demand we charge a fee of £ 5.00, and in the case of the cancellation of a money transfer the Member must reimburse to us the cancellation fees charged by the bank.

13.5

Members undertake not to take any action to avoid the obligation to pay Fees for Use where payable for use of MotorQuotesOnline. In the event of breach of this provision, in particular for breach of the provisions set out in clauses 10.1 and 10.2, the Member or Members involved shall be required to:

13.5.1

Settle the amount of the unpaid Fees for Use; and

13.5.2

Reimburse the costs which we incur in investigating the infringement.

14 Responsibility for content / Our liability

14.1

The content of the Enquiries posted on MotorQuotesOnline, forum entries, rating comments and Member profiles is drawn up exclusively by the Member concerned. The Member who posts the content in question is exclusively responsible for it. If we are notified of or otherwise become aware of content which might be illegal, defamatory or unauthorised we shall immediately examine the content concerned and if the content is found to be illegal, defamatory or unauthorised we shall be entitled to delete it or block access to it.

14.2

We provide MotorQuotesOnline in the form and with the functions which are from time to time available. We have no obligations to provide or to maintain any specific functions (see clause 5.3). No guarantee is given with regard to the availability of the system. The system will at times be entirely or partially restricted for routine or emergency maintenance work or for other reasons, e.g. with regard to individual functions (hereafter referred to as "Restricted Availability"). Liability for the consequences of Restricted Availability of whatever kind and for whatever reason is excluded. We shall not incur any liability for any consequences of Restricted Availability on the performance of Quotation Procedures, for instance because an Enquiry cannot be posted or a Quotation cannot be submitted, or an Enquiry expires in a period of Restricted Availability.

14.3

We warrant to the User that MotorQuotesOnline will be provided using reasonable care and skill and, unless we are prevented by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, in accordance with these Conditions. For the avoidance of doubt the user is also referred to clause 5.4 concerning the extent of our role and the role of the parties to a contract for a Job).

14.4

We shall have no liability to the User for any loss, damage, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation arising from any information or instructions supplied by the User which is or are incomplete, incorrect or inaccurate.

14.5

We shall not be liable to the User by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of our obligations in relation to MotorQuotesOnline or any of its functions, if the delay or failure was due to an act of God, war, terrorism, failure of power or internet service provision, or any other cause beyond our reasonable control.

14.6

We shall not be liable to the User for any unforeseeable loss or damages arising from the provision (or non-provision) of MotorQuotesOnline or any of its functions, including loss of profit or consequential loss or damage.

14.7

To enable us to deal with any complaint that may arise relating to MotorQuotesOnline or any of its functions, the User must provide full details of any complaint within fourteen days of the supply of the relevant services by us.

14.8

Nothing in these Conditions affects any liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for fraudulent misrepresentation, or the User’s statutory rights as a consumer.

14.9

The remaining provisions of this Clause 15 apply if you are not a consumer i.e. they apply if you are acting in the course of your trade, business or profession, but not if you are an individual not acting in the course of your trade, business or profession.

14.10

The following provisions of this clause 15 set out our entire financial liability (including any liability for the acts or omissions of our employees, agents and sub-contractors) to the User who is not a consumer (i.e. to a User who is acting in the course of his trade, business or profession) in respect of:

14.10.1

Any breach of these Conditions or the Membership Agreement;

14.10.2

Any use made by the User of MotorQuotesOnline, its functions or any part of them; and

14.10.3

Any representation, statement or tortious act or omission (including negligence) arising under or in connection with these Conditions or the Membership Agreement.

14.11

All warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from these Conditions or the Membership Agreement.

14.12

Nothing in these Conditions limits or excludes our liability for:

14.12.1

Death or personal injury resulting from negligence; or

14.12.2

Any damage or liability incurred by the User as a result of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us.

14.13

14.13.1

Loss of profits; or

14.13.2

Loss of business; or

14.13.3

Depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses; or

14.13.4

14.13.7

14.13.8

Any special, indirect, consequential or pure economic loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses.

14.14

Subject to Clauses 15.11 and 15.12 our total liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of these Conditions or the Membership Agreement shall be limited to the amount paid to us by the User by way of Fees for Use in respect of the use of the MotorQuotesOnline service or functions, which gave rise to the liability or £ 500 whichever is the greater.

15 Breaches/ Exemptions / Sanctions

15.1

We reserve the right in the case of breaches of these Conditions, depending on the nature of the breach, without prior notice and without stating any reasons to block or delete Enquiries and ratings posted in breach of these Conditions, or other content, to exclude Members acting in breach of these Conditions or in breach of the Membership Agreement temporarily or permanently, ("banning") or at our reasonable discretion to take such measures as are suitable to prevent such breaches or bring them to an end. In so doing we shall reasonably take into consideration the interests of the Members concerned. A breach occurs in cases including the following:

The Member knowingly supplies false information;
Jobs are posted when it can be established in advance or is obvious that they cannot be carried out at the highest price indicated, or for which the price is substantially out of proportion with the content of the Enquiry;
Jobs posted on MotorQuotesOnline should be placed in a different way from that envisaged on MotorQuotesOnline;
The processing of Enquiries is disrupted for example by bogus Quotations;
Entries placed in the Job forum or in the rating system or made in some other form which are defamatory, designed to undermine or devalue the system or otherwise lack objectivity;
In breach of clause 13.4 the Member does not settle invoices, or does not settle them in full or when due for payment, or if
The Member makes modifications or takes other actions likely to cause damage to us or to MotorQuotesOnline in any way.

15.2

Members who have been banned will be denied further use of and renewal of registration on MotorQuotesOnline.

15.3

The User indemnifies us against and releases us from all claims, costs and losses, to which we are exposed in connection with culpable infringement by the User against his obligations under these Conditions, in particular when claims are made by third parties on account of infringement of their rights, e.g. intellectual property rights or personal rights including costs incurred by processing and legal defence (e.g. internal processing expenses, lawyer's fees and court costs).
