3.1.2 Each Vehicle in the Client's fleet is recorded as a separate Unit on a Vehicle Schedule attached to this Agreement. Additional Vehicles may be added during the term by written agreement.
3.2 Service Limitations
3.2.1 The Service depends on cellular network availability. The Company provides no guarantee of uninterrupted recording or connectivity. Service coverage maps are available on request.
3.2.2 The Camera System is a fleet management and safety tool and does not guarantee prevention of theft, accidents, or driver misconduct.
4. HARDWARE AND EQUIPMENT
4.1 Ownership and Fleet Responsibility
4.1.1 Rental Units remain the Company's property at all times. The Client acquires no ownership rights and may not sell, pledge, or encumber any rented Unit. Purchased Units transfer ownership to the Client upon full payment.
4.1.2 The Client is responsible for all Units installed across its fleet and must ensure Authorised Users comply with these Terms and Conditions.
4.1.3 On termination of this Agreement, all rental Units must be returned within 10 (ten) Business Days in good working order. The Client will be charged the replacement cost for any Unit not returned or returned in a damaged condition.
4.2 Hardware Insurance (Rental Units)
4.2.1 The Client is required to maintain comprehensive all-risks insurance covering all rented Camera Unit/s against theft, fire, accidental damage, and total loss, for the replacement value specified in Annexure A (the "Replacement Value").
4.2.2 In the event of a total loss or theft of any rented Unit, the Client must cede any insurance proceeds received in respect of that Unit to the Company up to the Replacement Value. Where the Client fails to maintain insurance and a rented Unit is lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Client remains fully liable for the Replacement Value regardless of the absence of insurance cover.
4.3 Unit Transfer to Another Vehicle
4.3.1 The Client may transfer a Unit to a replacement Vehicle within its fleet by submitting a written transfer request to the Company. The Company will update the Vehicle Schedule within 5 (five) Business Days.
4.3.2 The subscription, remaining Minimum Term, and remaining Warranty Period for each Unit continue uninterrupted following a Vehicle transfer.
4.3.3 Unauthorised physical relocation or reinstallation of a Unit voids the hardware warranty. A transfer administration fee applies per Unit, as set out in Annexure A.
4.4 Vehicle Sold, Written Off, or Disposed Of
⚠ DUTY TO NOTIFY: Failure to notify the Company of any vehicle disposal results in continued liability for all fees and replacement costs across the affected Units.
4.4.1 The Client must notify the Company in writing within 48 (forty-eight) hours of any Vehicle in its fleet being: (a) sold, traded in, transferred, or otherwise disposed of; (b) written off or declared an insurance total loss; (c) repossessed by a financial institution.
4.4.2 On disposal of a Vehicle the Client must either: (a) submit a transfer request under clause 4.3 to allocate the Unit to a replacement Vehicle; or (b) cancel that Vehicle's subscription in accordance with Section 9.
4.4.3 If the Client disposes of a Vehicle without notifying the Company: (a) Service Fees for that Vehicle continue to accrue until formal written cancellation is received; (b) for rental Units — the Client is liable for the full Replacement Value of the Unit if unrecovered within 10 (ten) Business Days of written demand; (c) Liquidated Damages for the remaining Minimum Term remain enforceable; (d) the Company may deactivate the Unit at any time after becoming aware of the disposal.
4.4.4 The new owner of any disposed Vehicle acquires no rights under this Agreement. The Client indemnifies the Company against any claim by a new vehicle owner arising from continued monitoring of the Vehicle following disposal without notification.
4.5 Add-on Services
4.5.1 The Client may subscribe to optional Add-on Services as selected in the Application Form, including: Extended Warranty (extends hardware warranty from 12 to 24 months); Panic Button (best-efforts emergency alert service — not a substitute for emergency services); Bureau Service (active fleet monitoring by the Company's bureau team during agreed monitoring hours, subject to clause 4.5.2).

The Bureau Service is a monitoring and notification service only. The Company is not liable for loss arising from a failure to detect or respond to an alert where reasonable care has been exercised in operating the monitoring systems.
5. FAIR USE AND ACCEPTABLE USE
5.1 The Service may only be used for the Client's legitimate fleet management, safety monitoring, driver coaching, and related commercial purposes.

16.1 Any director, member, partner, or trustee signing this Agreement on behalf of the Client in the Suretyship section of the Signature Page hereby binds themselves as surety and co-principal debtor, in solidum with the Client, for the due and punctual performance of all the Client's obligations under this Agreement.
16.2 The Surety renounces the benefits of excussion (requiring the Company to first exhaust remedies against the Client before proceeding against the Surety) and division (requiring the Surety's liability to be divided among multiple sureties).
16.3 The suretyship is a continuing guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any variation, extension, or novation of this Agreement.
16.4 The Surety's obligations survive: (a) the dissolution, deregistration, or liquidation of the Client; (b) business rescue proceedings; and (c) any compromise or arrangement affecting the Client's debts.
16.5 Rental Equipment — For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of clause 16.1, where the Client has elected to rent any Unit/s: the replacement cost of any rental Unit not returned or returned in a damaged condition on termination of this Agreement forms part of the guaranteed obligations. The Company may proceed against the Surety directly for such replacement costs without first obtaining judgment against the Client or exhausting any other remedy.
17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
16.1 In the event of any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute by good-faith negotiation within 14 (fourteen) Business Days of one party notifying the other of the dispute in writing.
16.2 If the dispute remains unresolved after the negotiation period, either party may refer the matter to non-binding mediation administered by the Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa (AFSA) or such other mediator as the parties may agree in writing.
16.3 If mediation fails or is declined by either party, the dispute shall be finally resolved by the courts of the Republic of South Africa having jurisdiction over the matter. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the Magistrates' Court, Randburg, and the High Court of South Africa, Gauteng Division.
16.4 Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent interim relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
