The Customer accepts that the Services for each Device are ordered and provided in units of one month’s duration (each such unit a “Service Month”). The Customer accepts that Service Months must be purchased for specific Devices and cannot be transferred between them.

4.6

The Customer may order the Service Months for each Device either individually or in batches of twelve (12). Unless either party gives ten days’ prior written notice of non-renewal to the other, when the Service Months for a Device have all expired:

  1. where the Customer ordered the Service Months for the Device individually, KPMS will provide and the Customer will pay for a further single Service Month for that Device; and

Where there is no increase in costs payable by KPMS, KPMS may only increase the Charges for the Services to be provided by giving 90 days’ notice to the Customer, such increase to become effective on the next anniversary of the Order Start Date for those Services and such an increase shall not exceed the greater of the percentage change in RPI All Items over 12 months or 8%.

5.4

KPMS may, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, increase the price of the Devices to reflect any increase in the cost of the Devices, their preparation, storage or handling that is due to:

  1. any factor beyond KPMS’s control (including increases applied by the relevant manufacturers or distributors, foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);
  2. any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Devices ordered; or

The parties agree that the date on which the Service Months assigned to a Device expire shall be unaffected by any period of suspension of Services for that Device pursuant to this clause 5.5 or clause 18.3. KPMS shall be entitled to delete all of the Customer data stored or processed by the Services if any undisputed Charges invoiced to the Customer remain unpaid thirty (30) days after their due date.
