2. Engagement

2.1. These Terms shall:

2.1.1. apply to and be incorporated into any Assessment Services and Services to be provided by EADR to the Client; and

2.1.2. prevail over any inconsistent terms or conditions contained in, or referred to in, the Client’s purchase order, confirmation of order, or specification, or implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

2.2. This Agreement will be deemed to be accepted by the Client and will be effective on the earlier of:

2.2.1. the Client sending a Device to EADR;

2.2.2. the Client confirming their instructions to proceed with the performance of the Assessment Services in relation to the Device; or

2.2.3. the Client using any of the Services after receipt of this Agreement, on which date this Agreement will come into existence and will continue in force until terminated in accordance with its terms.

2.3. In the event that the Client wishes to incorporate any additional documentation or terms into this Agreement (“Supplementary Terms”), EADR may (but is not obliged to) agree to do so solely on the basis that the Client reimburses EADR for its legal review and negotiation costs. In such circumstances, both parties shall negotiate the Supplementary Terms in good faith, but for the avoidance of doubt, EADR’s legal costs will be payable to EADR notwithstanding whether or not such Supplementary Terms are agreed to by the parties. Where agreement is reached, the parties shall document their agreement to the Supplementary Terms in writing. EADR shall provide the Client with reasonable evidence of the legal costs that it has incurred and these shall be reimbursed by the Client within a period of seven days from the date of EADR’s invoice for such legal costs.

3. General

3.1. Our standard working hours are 8am to 6pm on Working Days. EADR will, by prior arrangement, provide the Services outside of these hours to meet the needs of individual cases. These cases will be carried out at an agreed enhanced rate.

3.2. Where you instruct us to proceed with the Services, EADR will work to the best of our professional and commercial abilities to recover as much data as possible from Client’s media, within an agreed reasonable response time. EADR agrees to keep you informed of any delays to the agreed times, but will not be responsible for outside constraints, i.e. postal strikes, delays to parts deliveries, etc.

3.3. Effective communication between the parties is an integral part of our process. If the Client fails to respond to any communication with EADR within a period of seven days, we will treat this as your intention to suspend the Services and we will invoice for the full Assessment Fees or Fees (as applicable) in accordance with clause 5.5 and clause 6. Any property left with EADR will be disposed of, or recycled, after a period of 30 days from the date of EADR’s initial communication that did not receive a response from the Client.

3.4. For the avoidance of doubt, time shall not be of the essence in relation to the performance of the Assessment Services or the Services under these Terms.

3.5. The Client hereby represents, warrants, and affirms that they are the owner or the authorised representative of the owner of the Device and all of the information and data stored on said Device. By asking EADR to enter into these Terms with you, you declare that the foregoing representations are true and correct.

3.6. You acknowledge that EADR has no control over the information, content or materials contained on any Device. Consequently, you agree to indemnify and keep EADR and its officers, employees, consultants and agents indemnified, on demand, against all losses, costs and liabilities and all expenses, including reasonable legal or other professional expenses, suffered or incurred by EADR arising out of or in connection with any claim in relation to the Client Content:

3.6.1. infringing a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights;

3.6.2. breaching privacy and Data Protection Laws;

3.6.3. being inaccurate or incomplete; and/or

3.6.4. being defamatory, offensive or illegal.

3.7. You acknowledge and agree that should any content contained on the Device be reasonably classed by EADR as:

3.7.1. indecent, immoral or otherwise unlawful, we reserve the right to inform the relevant authorities without providing you with notice; or

3.7.2. being subject to legal privilege, the Assessment Services and/or the Services shall be postponed until EADR has received confirmation from the relevant legal representative in relation to any further use of that content.

4. Shipping & Packing

4.1. EADR strongly recommends that you send your Device in to us at 5 Rashes Green Industrial Estate, Dereham, Norfolk, NR19 1JG by (at the very minimum) Royal Mail Signed for, and preferably by Special Delivery as this is both a tracked and insured service. Please remember that this is the one and only copy of your precious data and as such should be treated with care.

4.2. If you are unable to get to a Post Office then EADR can arrange a collection for you using a National Courier. To use this service, you will be required to complete the ‘Collection Request Form’ on the Website and pay the delivery fees to us in advance. However, this is a ‘no frills’, next Working Day service and as such offers tracking facilities only and no enhanced insurance. EADR can therefore accept no liability should your Device be lost or damaged in transit. We recommend that you obtain your own insurance for transportation of the Device if the Customer Content on the Device is particularly important or sensitive.

4.3. We will always send the Deliverables back to you by a tracked service, usually Royal Mail Special Delivery, if it is below 2kg in weight. Any Device over this weight will be sent back by courier.

4.4. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Device being sent in for recovery is packaged securely and correctly. The best way to do this is to wrap your item in plenty of bubble wrap (a good 2″ layer all round) and place it in a small, suitably sized cardboard box for a snug fit. The object is to avoid the Device moving about in transit. The cardboard box should be plain and unmarked, apart from our address details. If you do use a recycled box, then any writing, address labels, bar codes or logos must be completely obscured with packing tape or permanent marker pen. Finally, please ensure that you have filled in and enclosed one of our shipping forms (available on our Website). If you do not have access to a printer then we will require an absolute minimum of your name, address and contact details on a sheet of paper inside the box. We cannot accept responsibility for packages received without this basic information included and this may cause delays in providing the Assessment Services and/or the Services.

5. Before Commencement of Recovery

5.1. Please note that for all non-physical successful recoveries of Customer Content completed, our minimum charges as per our Website will apply (as updated from time to time).

5.2. After diagnosis of your Device, should you decide not to proceed with our recovery plan Quotation; you must pay us the Assessment Fees and a return postage fee of up to £25 plus VAT will apply. This fee is payable in accordance with clause 6.1 before we can send the Device back to you.

5.3. EADR will provide a Quotation in writing or via email detailing the work required to recover the Customer Content. It is your responsibility to respond to the written Quotation and confirm this by email prior to the commencement of the Services. We will not proceed with the Services until such approval is received.

5.4. PLEASE NOTE: If you do not wish for us to proceed with the Services and do not pay the Assessment Fees and return postage fees within 30 days of us providing you with our Fee Quotation, we reserve the right (without limitation) to dispose of or recycle the Device with no liability to you or any third party.

5.5. We reserve the right to charge the Client for any Services carried out and/or parts used should the Client decide to stop the recovery after giving us written confirmation to proceed with the Services.

6. Payment

6.1. Payment of the Assessment Fees is due immediately in full upon the earlier of: the Client confirming that it does not wish to proceed with the Services; or after a period of seven days from the date of the applicable Quotation without a response from the Client that it wishes to proceed with the Services.

6.4. Our preferred method of payment collection is by direct instant bank transfer and our account details will be provided upon final invoice.

We can accommodate cheque payments, but please note, we are unable to dispatch the Deliverables back to you until payment has cleared, which is generally 5 Working Days.

6.7. EADR states that all amounts specified are exclusive of VAT, currently at 20%.

7. Confidentiality

7.1. EADR carries out all Assessment Services and the Services in-house and therefore all Client data is handled by EADR staff alone.

We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that all Client data is stored securely at our premises and upon recovery, is stored on secure servers.

The Client may also provide us with suitable media at the time of engagement of our Services, however, EADR is not responsible for the integrity or compatibility of such media.
