b. The Customer will ensure that the Hardware is only used by properly trained staff in accordance with TILLTECH SYSTEMS’s instructions from time to time. The Customer will ensure that only personnel authorised by TILLTECH SYSTEMS adjust, modify, configure, maintain, repair, replace or remove any part of the Hardware.

c. The Customer will maintain adequate records of the use, maintenance and malfunction of the Hardware and will provide TILLTECH SYSTEMS with such information and assistance concerning the Hardware, its application, use, location and environment as TILLTECH SYSTEMS may reasonably require to enable it to carry out the Support Plan.

d. The Customer will immediately notify TILLTECH SYSTEMS if there is any failure of the Hardware or the System and will allow TILLTECH SYSTEMS full and free access to the Hardware and all documentation, software, materials and services necessary for the provision of the Support Plan. The Customer will ensure that relevant trained and experienced staff are available when required by TILLTECH SYSTEMS to provide TILLTECH SYSTEMS with information required to diagnose and/or repair the issue.

e. The Customer undertakes to put and keep in place adequate security measures and up-to-date firewalls to protect the Hardware, Software and Systems from any viruses, harmful code or unauthorised access.

f. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that their login password to the TILLTECH SYSTEMS Systems remains secure and confidential. The Customer should update their password regularly and ‘remember me’ type functions should not be used on publicly available or shared computers.

7. Internet / Network Requirements

a. TILLTECH SYSTEMS’s Products require a reliable and robust connection to the internet / local network to take advantage of all of the online features and benefits. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that it has an appropriate internet / local network connection in place prior to installation of the Software and to also ensure that the internet connection is maintained correctly and includes an up-to-date firewall. The recommended internet speeds are a minimum 7Mbps download speed and 0.6Mbps upload speed to support up to four till devices. Larger locations / installations will need higher internet speeds as appropriate to the size of installation and business. This speed requirement does not include any additional internet usage required over and above the TILLTECH SYSTEMS System such as staff or guest networks or other business requirements. Internet speeds and consistencies can be checked by using internet speed test websites or by contacting the applicable internet service provider.

b. The Customer is recommended to provide a separate physical network or a separate V-LAN for TILLTECH SYSTEMS systems. This must not be shared with other devices, particularly those that cause high volume, high congestion or unpredictable network loads including (but not limited to) guest networks and music or video streaming devices.

c. The Customer is solely responsible for any connection charges, line rental charges and call charges in relation to any Products.

d. Whilst TILLTECH SYSTEMS representatives may provide advice and an indication of the suitability of the Customer’s internet / local network connection, it remains the Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure it has a suitable internet / local network connection both before and after an order is placed. TILLTECH SYSTEMS is not responsible for any slow responses to its Systems, including where this is caused by the Customer’s poor internet / local network connection.

e. Provision of Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure (e.g. cabling, network switches, WAN router) is the responsibility of the Customer and should be appropriate to the size of business and criticality of the operation.

f. Where the System is to be used over wifi (e.g. tablets/mobile devices):

  • 1. the Customer is responsible for the setup, configuration and management of both the wifi infrastructure and the Customer devices. This includes ensuring wifi coverage in required areas and ensuring network dropouts due to wifi roaming are minimised; and
  • 2. the Customer must consider that wifi is not as robust as a wired network and network dropouts can occur due to wifi coverage, access point roaming, tablet sleep modes as well as other environmental factors. This is not unique to TILLTECH SYSTEMS Systems and should be considered when selecting a wifi solution.

8. Delivery of Hardware

1. Whilst TILLTECH SYSTEMS takes reasonable care to ensure the Hardware packaging prevents any damage to the Hardware in transit, it is the Customer’s responsibility to check the Hardware before it accepts the Hardware at the time of delivery.

2. It is the Customer’s responsibility to document, and notify TILLTECH SYSTEMS of, any defects in the cosmetic condition of the Hardware within 24 hours of receiving the Hardware.

3. Provided clause 8.2 has been complied with, in the rare occasion that the Hardware is faulty or damaged on arrival, TILLTECH SYSTEMS will provide the Customer with replacement Hardware.

4. Whilst TILLTECH SYSTEMS shall use reasonable endeavours to deliver the Hardware by the date specified in the Customer's order, TILLTECH SYSTEMS shall not be liable for the delay in delivery from any cause whatsoever and howsoever arising and time shall not be of the essence for delivery.

5. All deliveries must be signed for by the Customer or its authorised representatives. TILLTECH SYSTEMS’s third party courier may notify the Customer the timeframe when the Customer should expect the delivery by email and/or text message. It is the responsibility of the Customer to provide TILLTECH SYSTEMS with the correct address, email and mobile number to benefit from this Service.

6. It is the responsibility of the Customer to have an appropriate and authorised person available to sign for the delivery of the Hardware. TILLTECH SYSTEMS is not responsible for any deliveries that cannot be made due to an authorised person not being available to receive the Hardware, or its courier not having access to the delivery location.

9. TILLTECH SYSTEMS Hardware Warranty

1. Subject to clause 9.5, in relation to any new Hardware purchased directly from TILLTECH SYSTEMS, and that is manufactured by TILLTECH SYSTEMS SUPPLIERS, TILLTECH SYSTEMS SUPPLIERS warrants that such Hardware will be of good, satisfactory quality and free of any material defects for a period of 12 months from the date of the delivery of the Hardware to the Customer.

2. Warranties are based on manufacturers warranties

3. Each of the 12 month long warranties under clauses 9.1 and 9.2 are “Limited Warranties”.

4. The Customer may choose to purchase an “Extended Warranty” within the Limited Warranty period.

6. If the Customer believes that the Hardware contains a fault that is covered by the warranties provided herein, the Customer must report the issue to TILLTECH SYSTEMS in writing within the applicable warranty period and, at the Customer’s expense, return the item to TILLTECH SYSTEMS for inspection. Within 28 days of receiving the Hardware in question, TILLTECH SYSTEMS will examine the item and if covered by the warranty, at TILLTECH SYSTEMS’s discretion, TILLTECH SYSTEMS will either replace the Hardware with one of similar performance and capabilities or repair the Hardware.

7. Where TILLTECH SYSTEMS replaces or repairs Hardware under warranty, or as a chargeable out of warranty service, the repaired or replacement Hardware inherits the remaining warranty period from the original Hardware. If the original Hardware has less than 30 calendar days of warranty remaining, the replacement or repaired Hardware will receive a warranty of 30 calendar days.
