Data Retention

To use the service tachograph data is downloaded to Siemens VDO Trading Ltd Servers and held there for a period of 13 months. Any data older than 13 months is automatically removed. Your data will be held as long as your subscription stays current. If your service subscription is allowed to expire all your data associated with the lapsed service will be removed.

If you do not renew your subscription fee Siemens VDO Trading Ltd and its partners are under no obligation to keep your data.

"Active-X Controls" -- Programs Placed Automatically on Your Computer

 When you subscribe to one of our Interactive Services, we may store some programs on your computer in the form of an "Active-X Control" to provide an effective service. Active-X Controls can help us in many ways; for example, by allowing us validate data entered without the need to continually transmit information. Normally you will be prompted before the control is transferred. Your Internet browser settings determine whether you receive a warning before an Active-X Control is stored. If your Network or system settings prohibit the downloading of these components then some of our services will not operate without these controls.

User Names and Passwords

You are responsible for all use of the services made using your username and password, whether or not the use is made by you, or someone else using your username and password. You are responsible for protecting and securing your username and password from unauthorised use. If at any time you believe your username and password is being used by unauthorised persons please use the facilities provided to change your password and / or contact Siemens VDO Trading Ltd.

Subscription Fee

Use of the service requires payment of an annual subscription fee. The fee value is based on the amount of chart storage required in one year. Storage is sold in blocks of 250 charts called either a CSB or a Driver Unit.

Each CSB or Driver Unit has a lifetime of one year. When the year has expired you will be invited to renew your service subscription. At this point you may add  or reduce the number of CSB's that you wish to use in the next license period. Please bear in mind the following points.

• Unused CSB, either in whole or part, are not refunded and are not carried forward into following years.

• If more charts are added than the purchased CSB would allow, then you will be asked to buy extra units to make up the shortfall.

• Deleting old charts or drivers will not reclaim storage or increase the number of charts that may be entered. 

Law

Terms of Use shall be governed by English Law.
