Signature of the Application Form (whether wet-ink or electronic) constitutes full acceptance of these Terms.
2.2 This Agreement comes into force on the Effective Date and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, warranties, or understandings between the parties relating to its subject matter.
2.3 The Client confirms that all information provided in the Application Form is true, accurate, and complete. The Company relies on this information when activating the Service.
2.4 This Agreement is concluded between juristic persons and/or for business purposes. To the extent that the CPA applies to juristic persons with an asset value or annual turnover below R2 million, those CPA provisions shall apply.
2.5 The Client acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice before entering into this Agreement.
3. SERVICES
3.1 Fleet Tracking and FMS
3.1.1 The Company will provide the following fleet management services (as selected in the Application Form and Vehicle Schedule):
3.1.1.1 Real-time GPS tracking of each Vehicle via the ACM Destiny platform;
3.1.1.2 Geofence monitoring and automated alerts;
3.1.1.3 Trip history, route replay, and distance reporting;
3.1.1.4 Driver behaviour monitoring, scoring, and fleet safety reporting;
3.1.1.5 Odometer, idling, and fuel efficiency reporting (where hardware supports it);
3.1.1.6 Integration with the Client's existing fleet management processes on request.
3.2 SVR (where subscribed)
3.2.1 Where the Client's fleet package includes SVR, the Company will provide a best-efforts stolen vehicle recovery service for each covered Vehicle in cooperation with SAPS and approved private security. SVR conditions are set out in Section 10.
3.3 Service Limitations
3.3.1 Service availability depends on cellular and GPS network coverage. Coverage is not guaranteed in all areas of the Republic.
3.3.2 The Service operates within the Territory. International fleet tracking requires prior written agreement and additional charges.
3.3.3 Each Vehicle in the Client's fleet operates under a separate order on the Vehicle Schedule. Pricing, term, and cancellation obligations apply per Vehicle.
4. HARDWARE AND EQUIPMENT
4.1 Registration, Identification, and Ownership
4.1.1 Each Unit is registered on the ACM Destiny platform under the relevant Vehicle's VIN (or Asset identifier) and IMEI. The Vehicle Schedule records the IMEI for each Vehicle or Asset in the fleet.
4.1.2 Rental Units remain the Company's property throughout the Agreement. The Client may not sell, pledge, or encumber rented Units. Purchased Units transfer ownership to the Client upon full payment.
4.1.3 All SIM cards remain the Company's property throughout the Agreement.
4.2 Asset and Non-Vehicle Tracking
4.2.1 Where a Unit is installed on a non-motorised Asset (trailer, generator, container, plant, or equipment), that Asset is listed on the Vehicle Schedule and references to "Vehicle" are read as references to that Asset throughout this Agreement.
4.2.2 Battery-powered asset trackers may have limited transmission availability. The Company does not guarantee continuous real-time tracking for battery-powered Units. The SVR service does not apply to non-vehicle Assets unless agreed in writing.
4.3 Client Responsibilities
4.3.1 The Client must ensure that Authorised Users do not tamper with, relocate, or remove any Unit from a Vehicle or Asset without the Company's prior written approval. Unauthorised removal voids the warranty and may affect SVR operability.
4.4 Hardware Insurance (Rental Units)
4.4.1 The Client is required to maintain comprehensive all-risks insurance covering all rented Units across its fleet against theft, fire, accidental damage, and total loss, for the Replacement Value specified in Annexure A. Failure to maintain insurance does not reduce the Client's liability for the Replacement Value in the event of loss or destruction of a Unit.
4.5 Unit Transfer Between Vehicles or Assets
4.5.1 The Client may transfer a Unit to a replacement Vehicle or Asset by submitting a written transfer request to the Company. The Company will update the Vehicle Schedule within 5 (five) Business Days.
4.5.2 The subscription, remaining Minimum Term, and remaining Warranty Period for each Unit continue uninterrupted following a Vehicle or Asset transfer.
4.5.3 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.
4.6 Vehicle or Asset Sold, Written Off, or Disposed Of
⚠ DUTY TO NOTIFY: Failure to notify the Company of any vehicle or asset disposal results in continued Service Fee liability and exposure to replacement cost claims across all affected Units.
4.6.1 The Client must notify the Company in writing within 48 (forty-eight) hours of any Vehicle or Asset 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.
4.6.2 On disposal of a Vehicle or Asset, the Client must either: (a) submit a transfer request under clause 4.5 to allocate the Unit to a replacement Vehicle or Asset; or (b) cancel that Vehicle's or Asset's subscription in accordance with Section 7.
4.6.3 If the Client disposes of a Vehicle or Asset without notifying the Company: (a) Service Fees for that Vehicle or Asset continue to accrue until formal written cancellation is received; (b) for rental Units — the Client is liable for the full Replacement Value if the Unit is not recovered within 10 (ten) Business Days of written demand; (c) Liquidated Damages for the remaining Minimum Term of the affected Vehicle remain enforceable; (d) the Company may deactivate the Unit at any time upon becoming aware of the disposal.
4.6.4 The new owner of any sold or transferred Vehicle or Asset acquires no rights under this Agreement. The Client indemnifies the Company against any claim by a new owner arising from continued tracking of the Vehicle or Asset following disposal without notification.
4.7 Add-on Services
4.7.1 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 from Effective Date); Panic Button (best-efforts emergency alert — not a substitute for emergency services, see clause 4.7.2); Bureau Service (active fleet monitoring — see clause 4.7.3).
4.7.2 Panic Button: activation triggers an alert to the Company's response centre for a best-efforts response. False activations may attract a call-out fee as set out in Annexure A. The Company is not liable for failure to dispatch a physical response within any specific time.
4.7.3 Bureau Service: the Company's bureau team will monitor configured fleet exception alerts during the hours specified in the Service Schedule. 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. DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT — POPIA OPERATOR FRAMEWORK
✓ This section constitutes a binding Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under POPIA section 21. ACM Track's inclusion of this DPA in its business T&C is ahead of all three major competitors (Tracker, Cartrack, Netstar).
⚠ As the fleet operator and employer, the Client is the Responsible Party for its employees' and drivers' personal information. ACM Track acts as Operator and processes that data only on the Client's instructions.
5.1 Roles
5.1.1 The Client is the Responsible Party: it determines the purpose and means of processing its drivers' location data, Driver Behaviour Data, and other personal information generated by the Service.
5.1.2 The Company is the Operator: it processes such personal information only on the Client's behalf and in accordance with the Client's documented instructions and the terms of this DPA.
5.2 Client Obligations as Responsible Party
5.2.1 Before activating the Service for any Vehicle, the Client must:
5.2.1.1 establish a lawful basis for processing each driver's location data and Driver Behaviour Data (whether consent, legitimate interests, or a legal obligation under applicable transport or labour law);
5.2.1.2 provide each driver with a privacy notice disclosing: the installation of a GPS tracking device; the categories of data collected; the purposes; the retention period (12 months rolling); and their data subject rights;
5.2.1.3 maintain records of driver acknowledgements of the privacy notice;
5.2.1.4 maintain a written fleet monitoring policy accessible to all drivers;
5.2.1.5 ensure that use of Driver Behaviour Data in any disciplinary proceeding complies with the Labour Relations Act and Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
5.2.2 The Client indemnifies the Company against any claim, loss, or penalty arising from the Client's failure to comply with its obligations as Responsible Party.
5.3 Company Obligations as Operator
5.3.1 The Company undertakes to:
5.3.1.1 process personal information only in accordance with the Client's documented instructions and these terms;
5.3.1.2 implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures per POPIA section 19;
5.3.1.3 notify the Client within 72 hours of any actual or suspected breach affecting the Client's data;
5.3.1.4 not engage any sub-processor without the Client's prior written consent;
5.3.1.5 assist the Client in responding to data subject requests received from drivers or employees;
5.3.1.6 delete or return all personal information on termination of this Agreement, at the Client's election.
5.4 Retention
5.4.1 Location and Driver Behaviour Data: retained 12 months rolling, then deleted. Contract and identity data: retained 5 years post-termination.
5.5 RICA — SIM Registration
5.5.1 The Client must provide all documentation required for RICA registration of each SIM card installed in the fleet's GPS Units before service activation.
6. PAYMENT TERMS
⚠ CPA s.49 NOTICE: The following payment obligations are material to this Agreement. Please read them carefully.
8.1 Monthly Service Fee
8.1.1 The Service Fee is payable monthly in advance by debit order from the Client's nominated bank account. The first month's fee will be pro-rated from the Effective Date.
8.1.2 The Client authorises the Company to collect the Service Fee by way of a DebiCheck or NAEDO debit order mandate. The Client must ensure sufficient funds are available in the nominated account on the debit order date.
8.1.3 The Client must notify the Company in writing of any change to banking details at least 10 (ten) Business Days before the next debit order date.
8.2 Failed or Returned Debit Orders
8.2.1 If a debit order is returned unpaid for any reason, the Client will be charged an administration fee of R150.00 (excl. VAT) per returned transaction, in addition to any bank charges incurred.
8.2.2 The Company may re-present the debit order or use any other lawful collection method to recover outstanding amounts.
8.2.3 Non-payment for more than 7 (seven) days entitles the Company to suspend the Service in terms of Section 13 without prejudice to its right to claim the full outstanding amount.
8.3 Fee Escalations
8.3.1 The Company may increase the Service Fee annually, effective 1 March each year, by the lesser of (a) 10% or (b) the South African Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the preceding 12-month period as published by Statistics South Africa.
8.3.2 The Company will provide at least 30 (thirty) calendar days' prior written notice of any fee increase. The Client may cancel the Agreement in accordance with Section 9 if the increase is unacceptable.
8.3.3 Fees quoted are exclusive of VAT. VAT will be charged at the rate applicable at the time of invoicing.
8.4 Invoice Disputes
8.4.1 The Client must raise any dispute regarding an invoice in writing within 12 (twelve) months of the invoice date. Disputes raised after this period will not be considered.
8.4.2 Raising a bona fide invoice dispute does not entitle the Client to withhold undisputed amounts.
7. MINIMUM TERM, RENEWAL, AND CANCELLATION
⚠ NOTE: The CPA consumer cancellation fee does NOT apply to business clients. Business cancellation during the Minimum Term attracts Liquidated Damages equal to the remaining monthly fees for the unexpired term.
7.1 Minimum Term (Free-Fitment Units)
7.1.1 Where the GPS Unit is provided on a free-fitment (subsidised) basis, each Vehicle on the Vehicle Schedule is subject to a Minimum Term as set out therein (typically 24 (twenty-four) months from the Vehicle's Effective Date).
7.2 Month-to-Month (Purchase Option)
7.2.1 Where the Client purchases the GPS Unit outright, there is no Minimum Term. The Agreement is month-to-month from the Effective Date, terminable on 1 (one) calendar month's written notice.
7.3 Renewal After Minimum Term
7.3.1 On expiry of the Minimum Term, each Vehicle's subscription automatically renews on a month-to-month basis unless either party gives 1 (one) calendar month's written notice before the Minimum Term expires or at any time thereafter.
7.4 Cancellation During the Minimum Term
⚠ EARLY TERMINATION: Cancellation of any Vehicle during its Minimum Term results in Liquidated Damages equal to the monthly Service Fee for that Vehicle multiplied by the unexpired months remaining. This is a genuine pre-estimate of the Company's loss, consistent with Tracker's business T&C approach.
7.4.1 The Client may cancel any Vehicle's subscription during the Minimum Term by giving 20 (twenty) Business Days' written notice. Upon such cancellation:
7.4.1.1 All accrued and unpaid Service Fees for that Vehicle are immediately payable;
7.4.1.2 Liquidated Damages equal to the monthly Service Fee for that Vehicle multiplied by the number of whole calendar months remaining in the Minimum Term are immediately payable;
7.4.1.3 The Unit must be returned within 10 (ten) Business Days (if rented) or deactivated from the platform.
7.5 Vehicle Sold, Written Off, or Repossessed
7.5.1 The Agreement does not automatically terminate upon sale, write-off, or repossession of any Vehicle. The Client must notify the Company within 48 hours.
7.5.2 If a Vehicle is confirmed stolen and unrecovered: that Vehicle's subscription terminates at the end of the calendar month of theft. No Liquidated Damages apply in this circumstance only.
8. INSTALLATION
8.1 Fleet installations are scheduled per the Vehicle Schedule. The Client must make each Vehicle available with its registration papers at the agreed time and location.
8.2 A no-show fee of R350 (excl. VAT) per Vehicle applies for missed appointments without 24 hours' notice.

9.1.2 Installation workmanship is warranted for 12 (twelve) months from the Effective Date ("Installation Warranty Period").

9.2.1 The warranty does not apply where the defect or damage is caused by:
9.2.1.1 tampering, unauthorised modification, or repair by any person other than a Company-approved technician;

14. COMMERCIAL TERMS
14.1 VAT: All fees are exclusive of VAT, charged at the applicable rate at time of invoicing.

18.1 Entire Agreement: This Agreement, together with the Application Form and Annexures, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, and understandings.
18.2 Variations: No amendment, variation, or addition to this Agreement shall be of any force unless reduced to writing and signed by authorised representatives of both parties.
18.3 Waiver: No waiver of any right under this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing. A waiver on any occasion shall not constitute a waiver of the same right on any future occasion.
18.4 Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from the Agreement and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.
18.5 Cession and Transfer: The Company may cede, assign, or transfer any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any third party — including by way of securitisation, factoring, or the sale of the Company's business or a division thereof as a going concern — without requiring the Client's consent. In the case of a going-concern sale, the purchaser or transferee shall automatically assume all of the Company's obligations under existing Agreements, and this Agreement shall continue in full force binding the Client and the purchaser/transferee as if no transfer had occurred. The Client may not use such cession or transfer as a basis to cancel this Agreement. The Company shall provide the Client with written notice of such transfer as soon as reasonably practicable before or after completion. The Client may not cede or transfer its rights or obligations without the Company's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
