This Hire Purchase Agreement is governed by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Act) and is made on the date the £10 administration charge is paid by the Hirer to the Owner.

This Hire Purchase Agreement (the Distributor Tablet Agreement or DTA) is made between Utility Warehouse Limited 2017. Reg'd in England, no. 4594421, whose registered office is at Network HQ, 508 Edgware Road, The Hyde London NW9 5AB (Owner), and the Partner (the Hirer), each a Party and together, the Parties.

Whereas the Hirer agrees to hire and purchase a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 and accompanying accessories (or such alternative equivalent tablet as shall be supplied by the Owner), a branded keyboard and case (together the Equipment) from the Owner for the primary purpose of growing the Hirer's business in accordance with the Distributor agreement entered into between the Owner and the Partner (Distributor Agreement) and the Owner is willing to hire and sell the Equipment to the Hirer.

The Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. From the date of this DTA, the Hirer will make monthly payments of £10 to the Owner for the hire and purchase of the Equipment (being £9 for the Tablet and accessories and £1 for the branded keyboard and case) (Payment), until the total price of £300 plus the £10 non-refundable fulfilment charge has been paid (Total Price), or this DTA is terminated. The first monthly Payment will be due during the calendar month following the date upon which the Hirer received the Equipment.
2. Each Payment will be collected in accordance with the following rules based on the Hirer's net monthly commission, payable to the Hirer under the Distributor Agreement (Commission), which for the avoidance of doubt shall include both any renewal fees payable by the Partner and any clawback of CGB:
- i) If the Commission in any month exceeds £15, the Payment for that month will be collected by deduction from the Commission; and
- ii) If the Commission in any month is between £0 and £15, the Owner will pay the Commission to the Hirer and separately collect the Payment for that month by direct debit from the Hirer's bank account or from any credit/debit card provided by the Hirer to the Owner; and
- iii) If the Commission (after deducting any renewal fees but excluding any clawback of CGB) is less than £0, then the Owner will collect both the Payment for that month and the negative commission (but excluding any clawback of CGB) together as a single direct debit from the Hirer's bank account or as a single payment from any credit/debit card provided by the Hirer to the Owner.
3. The Hirer will be liable for each monthly Payment on the date that the Commission is calculated; such Payments will not be pro-rated.
4. The Hirer may cancel this DTA at any time during the first 14 days by returning the Equipment to the Owner in its’ original packaging and in the same condition as they received it, and notifying the Owner accordingly.
5. The Owner may terminate this DTA if the Hirer does not take delivery of the Equipment at the College of Excellence Getting Started Skills training session at which the Owner has arranged to provide the Equipment (for Partners who have not completed this training), or if the Owner has been unable to deliver the Equipment to the address provided by the Hirer (for Partners who have completed this training).
6. The Hirer may terminate this DTA after they have made at least three monthly payments, by returning the Equipment to the Owner. Any Payments due up until the date on which the returned Equipment is received by the Owner will remain due and payable by the Hirer.
7. The Hirer may, at any point during the term of this DTA, make additional payment or settle the remaining balance owed under this DTA at which point title in the Equipment will pass to the Hirer in accordance with clause 13.
8. The Owner may terminate this DTA at any time, with immediate effect, if the Hirer ceases to be a Partner under the Distributor Agreement or is in material breach of any term of this DTA or the Distributor Agreement.

If, when the Owner receives any Equipment back from the Hirer it determines that any components that were originally supplied (including, for example, the charger and stylus) are missing, or the damage to the Equipment exceeds fair wear and tear (ie is in a condition that does not enable the Equipment to be re-used by another Partner, such as having a scratched or broken screen) the Owner will charge the Hirer the cost of replacing the missing components or damaged parts.
12. If the Hirer, following termination for whatever cause elects to return the Equipment pursuant to clause 9(ii) and fails to return such Equipment within 10 days the Owner will collect the remaining balance of the Total Price by direct debit from the Hirer's bank account or from any credit/debit card provided by the Hirer to the Owner. The Owner reserves the right to withhold any future Commission until the remaining balance of the Total Price has been collected.
13. Title and ownership of the Equipment shall remain with the Owner until the Total Price has been paid to the Owner, at which time it will pass to the Hirer. Where the Total Price is not paid and the Hirer returns the Equipment to the Owner, the Hirer will have no interest in the Equipment nor any right to a refund of any Payment previously made to the Owner.
14. The Hirer warrants that they will keep the Equipment in their possession, operate it in accordance with the manufacturer's operating instructions and only for the purpose it was designed, and not use or allow it to be used for any illegal or immoral purpose.
15. The Hirer will bear the entire risk of loss and/or damage to the Equipment from any and all causes whatsoever.
