2 How the Platform Works

2.1 The Platform aims to connect suppliers of Mobile Services with business customers, with a view to finding the right supplier for the customer with the optimum tariff solution.

2.2 When you register with the Platform, you will be required to set up a log-in and password in order to register as a user of the Platform. By providing us with your email address, you agree to receive all required notices, notifications and alerts to that address. It is your responsibility to let us know if that address changes at any time. If you no longer wish to receive such notifications, notices and/or alerts then please contact us at unsubscribe@predictmobile.com.

2.3 To utilise the Platform you will be required to login via the internet and enter the username and password for your current mobile supplier’s billing platform. The Platform will then search your current mobile supplier’s billing engine and produce a report detailing your existing usage and tariffs. Alternatively, it may be possible to provide such information by manually uploading (in accordance with our instructions and guidance) certain reports and information to the Platform.

2.4You will then be asked various questions by the Platform, which you are required to answer honestly and accurately. On the basis of your responses, the Platform will then post a tender for the supply to you of Mobile Services, which the Suppliers will have the opportunity to respond to. At this stage, all information provided to the Suppliers will be anonymised.

2.5 The Platform will then evaluate the responses received from Suppliers (on an anonymised basis, save that details of the relevant network will be provided) and present you with a table of results. You may then choose your preferred Supplier, at which point the full details of your preferred Supplier will be disclosed to you. You will then be connected with your preferred Supplier, who will provide you with their form of network contract for signature (together with any associated terms and conditions). It is anticipated that you will then sign the contract and upload this to the Platform.

2.6 You acknowledge that neither you nor your preferred Supplier will, by participating in the Tender Process, be legally bound to enter into or to perform any contract for Mobile Services unless and until a binding contract is signed by both you and by the relevant Supplier.

2.7 The Platform will (unless you choose to opt out from this service) continue to receive your usage data throughout the term of your contract with your chosen Supplier and we will provide you with email alerts on an ongoing basis containing predictions and guidance regarding your mobile usage and related contractual arrangements, with a view to continually optimising your tariff. If you do wish to opt out of this service then please contact us on unsubscribe@predictmobile.com. We may suspend or interrupt the provision of this service from time to time.

2.8 We may, from time to time, offer prediction services similar to those mentioned in clause 2.7 to users of the Platform who are party to an existing contract for Mobile Services and who have not yet gone through a Tender Process. If, upon the expiry of their existing contract, such user does not then enter into a contract with a Supplier through the Platform, then the Company reserves the right to either withdraw such prediction services or to continue to provide such services on a reasonable chargeable basis only.

3 Your Responsibility

If any information given by you or by the Suppliers is not accurate then the comparisons provided by the Platform will not function effectively. We cannot accept any liability to you in the event that any data submitted or responses given by you are not accurate and you agree to compensate us for any liability which we incur as a result of any such inaccuracies. You further acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible for any inaccuracies resulting from any information provided by any of the Suppliers being untrue or inaccurate.

You undertake to compensate us for any loss which we may suffer as a result of you failing to comply with the terms of this clause 3.4.

3.5 If you become aware of any unauthorised use of your Access Credentials, you agree to notify us immediately of this at security@predictmobile.com.
