Software-as-a-Service Terms & Conditions

Version: 2026-03-17

Governing Law: England and Wales

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the eCoachManager software platform (“Software”) provided by ECOACHMANAGER LTD, a company incorporated in England and Wales (“Company”). By clicking “I Agree,” signing an Order Form, or otherwise accessing or using the Software, the customer (“Customer”) agrees to be bound by these Terms.

2. Software Description

The Software is a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform providing vehicle management, fleet scheduling, and operational tools designed for coach, minibus charter, and tour operators. The specific features available to the Customer are determined by the subscription plan selected and documented in the applicable Order Form.

3. License Grant

Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable Fees, Company grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited licence to access and use the Software during the Term solely for Customer’s internal business operations. Customer shall not:

  • permit any third party (other than authorised users within Customer’s organisation) to access or use the Software;
  • modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Software;
  • create derivative works based on the Software;
  • use the Software for any illegal, unlawful, or unauthorised purpose;
  • sub-licence, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or otherwise commercialise or make available the Software to any third party.

4. Term and Termination

4.1 Term

The Term shall commence on the date Customer first accesses the Software (“Effective Date”) and shall continue for the subscription period specified in the Order Form (either annually or quarterly). The Term shall automatically renew for successive periods of equal length unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term.

4.2 Termination for Cause

Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice if:

  • the other party commits a material breach of these Terms and (where such breach is remediable) fails to remedy it within fourteen (14) days of written notice; or
  • the other party becomes insolvent, enters administration, liquidation, or any analogous insolvency process.

4.3 Suspension for Non-Payment

Company may suspend Customer’s access to the Software upon fourteen (14) days’ written notice if any Fees remain unpaid beyond their due date. Suspension does not relieve Customer of its payment obligations.

4.4 Effect of Termination

Upon termination or expiry of the Term:

  • all licences granted hereunder shall immediately cease;
  • Customer shall promptly cease all use of the Software;
  • Company shall, within thirty (90) days of termination, make available to Customer an export of Customer Data in a commonly used machine-readable format, and shall thereafter securely delete Customer Data from its systems, unless retention is required by law.

5. Fees and Payment

Customer shall pay the fees set out in the Order Form or applicable quote (“Fees”). Fees are invoiced in advance on an annual or quarterly basis in accordance with the selected billing cycle. Payment is due within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date.

Company reserves the right to increase Fees at the start of any renewal Term by providing not less than sixty (60) days’ written notice prior to the renewal date. If Customer does not accept the revised Fees, Customer may terminate by providing written notice before the renewal date.

Any sums remaining unpaid after the due date shall accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. Customer is responsible for all applicable taxes, including VAT.

6. Service Levels and Support

Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Software is available 99.5% of the time in any given calendar month, excluding scheduled maintenance windows (of which Company shall give reasonable advance notice) and circumstances beyond Company’s reasonable control.

Company shall provide technical support during Business Hours (09:00–17:30 UK time, Monday to Friday, excluding UK public holidays). The specific support tier and response times applicable to Customer shall be set out in the Order Form.

7. Data Protection

7.1 Roles

The parties acknowledge that in providing the Software, Company acts as a data processor and Customer acts as a data controller, as those terms are defined under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

7.2 Data Processing Agreement

Company shall process Customer Data only in accordance with Customer’s documented instructions, except where required to do so by applicable law. Company shall:

  • implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Customer Data against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage;
  • ensure that persons authorised to process Customer Data are bound by confidentiality obligations;
  • not engage sub-processors without Customer’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and flow down equivalent data protection obligations to any sub-processor;
  • notify Customer without undue delay (and in any event within 72 hours) upon becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting Customer Data;
  • assist Customer in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subject requests under applicable data protection legislation;
  • upon termination, return or securely delete Customer Data as set out in Clause 4.4.

8. Confidentiality

Each party (“Receiving Party”) agrees to keep confidential all non-public information disclosed by the other party (“Disclosing Party”) that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure (“Confidential Information”). This obligation applies equally to both parties.

The obligations in this Clause shall not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than through the Receiving Party’s breach; (b) was known to the Receiving Party before disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party; or (d) must be disclosed by law or regulatory requirement.

Confidentiality obligations shall survive termination of these Terms for a period of three (3) years.

9. Intellectual Property

The Software and all intellectual property rights therein are and shall remain the exclusive property of Company. These Terms do not grant Customer any ownership rights in the Software.

Customer retains all ownership rights in Customer Data. Company shall have no right to use Customer Data except as strictly necessary to provide the Software in accordance with these Terms.

10. Warranties

Company warrants that:

  • the Software will perform materially in accordance with its documentation during the Term;
  • it has the right to grant the licences in these Terms;
  • it will provide the Software with reasonable care and skill, as required under the Supply of Services (Implied Terms) Act 1982 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 where applicable.

11. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude either party’s liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

Subject to the above, Company’s total aggregate liability to Customer arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall not exceed the total Fees paid by Customer in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Subject to the carve-outs above, neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss or damage, including loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data, or loss of business opportunity.

12. Indemnification

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Company from any third-party claims, losses, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising out of Customer’s breach of these Terms or Customer’s unlawful use of the Software.

Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Customer from any third-party claims that the Software, as provided by Company, infringes any third-party intellectual property rights.

13. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms where such delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, pandemic, strike, lockout, or failure of third-party infrastructure providers. The affected party shall notify the other promptly and shall use reasonable endeavours to mitigate the impact.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms.

15. Assignment

Customer may not assign, transfer, or sub-contract any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Company. Company may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided it gives Customer reasonable prior written notice.

16. Acceptable Use

Customer shall use the Software only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. Customer shall not use the Software to:

  • store, transmit, or distribute unlawful, defamatory, or infringing content;
  • introduce viruses, malware, or any other harmful code;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to any system or network;
  • use the Software in a manner that places unreasonable load on Company’s infrastructure.

17. General

17.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any applicable Order Form, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior communications, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written.

17.2 Amendment

These Terms may be amended only by a written instrument signed by authorised representatives of both parties, except that Company may update these Terms on not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice, and Customer’s continued use of the Software after that period constitutes acceptance.

17.3 Waiver

No waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.

17.4 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

17.5 Notices
