2. Promotion of the Services

2.1 SCL shall operate the Site and shall in reviewing the Care needs of Users consider the Services and their suitability for Users.

2.2 If Provider has within the 12 months prior to any introduction of a User by SCL provided Services to such User otherwise than as a result of a previous introduction by SCL, Provider shall immediately notify SCL.

2.3 In deciding whether to make introductions to Provider, SCL shall be entitled to give priority to Care providers registered directly on the Site and to follow its own view as to the suitability of Provider for providing the necessary Care. SCL’s decision shall be final and it shall have no obligation to refer any particular User to Provider or to refer a minimum number of Users to Provider.

2.4 SCL uses its reasonable care to understand the needs of Users but is not responsible for the accuracy of the information provided by the User, their medical needs or suitability to receive the Service, their financial means or other circumstances.

3. Quality of the Services

3.1 Provider shall ensure that it provides the Services to any User introduced to it by SCL with reasonable care and skill, in accordance with its own standard procedures and to its own normal standards.

Provider shall indemnify SCL against any liability which SCL may incur in respect of Services provided to Users by Provider (whether such liability occurs during or after termination or expiry of this agreement) except to the extent that the claim results from SCL’s breach of contract or negligence.

5. Fees

5.1 Provider shall pay to SCL 5% of all Fees received by Provider at any time (both during and after termination of this agreement) in respect of Services supplied by Provider to any User whose details are provided to Provider by SCL (except where Provider has within the previous 12 months before the commencement of such provision of Services provided Services to such User otherwise than as a result of a previous introduction by SCL). Such amount shall be inclusive of any applicable VAT.

5.2 For the avoidance of doubt, payment is due to SCL under clause 5.1 in respect of any Fees received by Provider for Services supplied to the applicable User at any time, whether the Services supplied are those in respect of which the initial referral is made or other Services supplied at a later date.

5.3 Provider shall submit a report to SCL within 7 days after the end of each calendar month setting out in respect of each relevant User from whom it has received Fees during the previous month the name and address of the User and the amount of Fees received from that User and shall make the payment due to SCL in respect of such Fees within 7 days of receipt of SCL’s invoice.

6. Data

6.1 Each party agrees that, in the performance of its obligations under this agreement, it will comply with Data Protection Legislation to the extent it applies to that party.

6.2 SCL collects the Data in order to determine the Care which is needed by Users and where making an introduction to Provider shall supply to Provider such part of the Data as SCL considers is necessary for Provider to provide the Services to the relevant Users.

SCL has not obtained any permission for any further use of the Data by Provider which shall obtain any necessary consent from the relevant Users.

9. Exclusivity

9.1 Provider agrees that during the Initial Term in the Territory it shall not make Services available via or as a result of introductions from any active technology enabled Care broker other than SCL.

9.2.1 Care services directories such as Care Choices, Care.com, Homecare.co.uk and local authority or charity directory listings characterised by passive engagement in that the listing sites are simply means of advertising;

9.2.2 other brokers or introducers such as local authorities, NHS brokerage teams, discharge co-ordinators or nurses, charity or third sector brokers, outreach teams or other parties all of whom may actively refer Care leads by telephone or email without involvement of a listing platform; and

9.2.3 any other existing channels which Provider can demonstrate it was actively using before the date of this agreement.

9.3 In particular Provider agrees during the Initial Term not to advertise or make Services available via Vida Care (Digital Home Visits Limited), Cera Care (Golden Era Club Limited), Care Sourcer Limited, Hometouch (Hometouch Care Limited) and Elder care (Elder Technologies Limited).

10.1 Neither party may assign, transfer, mortgage, charge, sub-contract, sub-licence or otherwise dispose of the whole or any part of this agreement without the prior written consent of the other (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

10.2 All notices shall be given in writing and delivered by hand or sent by special delivery post, or any other delivery method where the recipient must sign to acknowledge receipt, to the recipient’s address set out in this agreement (or as may be notified to the other party in accordance with this clause from time to time) and shall be deemed to have been served upon delivery or when returned to the sender marked “gone away” or similar.

10.3 Neither party’s failure to enforce or rely on or delay in enforcing or relying on any right or remedy will not prevent that party from later enforcing or relying upon that nor any other right or remedy.
