We try to ensure that the Tecaser Services are available to you at all times, though Tecaser can’t promise that it will always be available or work perfectly (for example, in the case of maintenance, fraud, or a fault in the systems used to provide the Tecaser Services or Tecaser Client Service). These events are sometimes outside our control.

- You agree to cooperate with all requests made by Tecaser to identify you and verify your identity and Tecaser may make this conditional for granting you access, or continued access, to the Tecaser Services or parts of the functionality of the Tecaser Client Service where the Tecaser Services are made available.

See the Tecaser Privacy Policy for more information.
- You must ensure the information you provide to Tecaser is always accurate and up to date. If at any time Tecaser believes that your information is outdated or inaccurate, Tecaser may require you to update this information and Tecaser may require you to complete the identification and verification process again.
4. TECASER SERVICES
- The Tecaser Services include the following major functions:
- Vehicle Information: This lets you combine your vehicle information
- Tecaser may use third party suppliers to support Tecaser in providing the Tecaser Services. Tecaser takes reasonable care in selecting our suppliers to protect your security.
- The Vehicle Insights provided by Tecaser are only suitable to gather certain knowledge about your fleet.
- You represent:
- that you will connect accounts that are requested by your Service Provider and reasonably needed for the purposes that your Service Provider requests you to give the Vehicle Insights;
- that you will not connect Accounts of others to give a false representations of your fleet situation. If you do this, then you are fully liable and accountable for damages or claims incurred by the Service Provider or Tecaser as a result of this.
- You are not at liberty, in general, to demand an explanation from Tecaser regarding the manner in which it has compiled the Fleet Insights or to require Tecaser to provide a more detailed reasoning regarding the findings in the Fleet Insights.
5. YOUR VEHICLE INFORMATION
Tecaser will act on your behalf
- To make use of the Tecaser Services you can load up vehicle information from your other vehicle services (“Vehicle Information”). This is done by instructing Tecaser (through the Tecaser Client Service) to retrieve Vehicle Information held online by the governance and other fleet institutions with which you have a customer relationship (your “Providers”). By doing so, you authorise Tecaser to contact your Providers, on your behalf, to retrieve Vehicle Information requested by you. You explicitly consent to Tecaser having the right to act in your name to contact the Providers, and to retrieve and (in line with our Privacy Policy) use the Vehicle Information, in respect of the Accounts that you add into the Tecaser Client Service. More information on how this works is below.
- We will access the Vehicle Information from each of your Providers in one of two ways:
- Through a dedicated interface made available to Tecaser by your Provider: This allows Tecaser to make requests to your Provider to send items of Vehicle Information to Tecaser. Your Provider will then send this information to Tecaser, unless you have told them not to.
- Through your Provider’s Access Point Interfaces (“API”) or website: Using this approach, our automated tools will access the API of your Provider (in the same way that you can do online) and then retrieve information from each Account that you have set up so that Tecaser can present it to you through the Tecaser Client Service. The information that Tecaser requests through each of these options is described in more detail when you follow the process to add an Account in the Tecaser Client Service.
- When Tecaser accesses and retrieves Vehicle Information from your Provider, Tecaser acts on your behalf (in legal words, Tecaser acts as your “agent”), with your explicit consent, and not on behalf of any Provider. Our suppliers are also entitled to rely on this.
- To keep the Tecaser Services up to date, Tecaser will use automatic tools to access the Vehicle Information:
- on a regular basis (usually, once every day; each time you log in to the Tecaser Client Service; and,
- if you manually request a refresh of the Tecaser Services.
- Your explicit consent to Tecaser to access specific Accounts or Providers may be subject to time limits (e.g. 90 days) – once Tecaser reaches these time limits you will need to provide a confirmation of your explicit consent through the Tecaser Client Service if you wish Tecaser to be able to continue accessing and retrieving Vehicle Information from your relevant Provider(s).
Warnings and things for you to check
- The Providers are wholly responsible for the Accounts you hold with them. This applies even when any instructions or information regarding those Accounts are viewed or transmitted via the Tecaser Services.
- Your use of the Tecaser Service is entirely voluntary. Many Providers of Accounts are required by law to allow Tecaser to access Vehicle Information for use in the Tecaser Service and Tecaser Client Service, once you have explicitly consented to Tecaser doing so. Some may, however, impose restrictions (such as under the terms that you have agreed with them). It is your responsibility to check if your Provider stops you from using the Tecaser Services or Tecaser Client Service (for example, by prohibiting you from downloading your Vehicle Information). We have no control over your right or ability to view your Vehicle Information or transact on your Accounts.
- On an ongoing basis, including each time you use the Tecaser Services, you confirm to Tecaser that:
- you are legally authorised for each Account in respect of which you use the Tecaser Services (whether or not you are the Account holder) and any joint Account holder has explicitly consented to your use of the Tecaser Services. You may not use the Tecaser Services in respect of any Account you are not authorised to use; and
- you have the right to use the Tecaser Services in respect of each relevant Provider’s sites (where relevant), and Vehicle Information.
- Tecaser does not check Vehicle Information for accuracy, legality or otherwise. Tecaser is not responsible for the Vehicle Information, the way that your Accounts operate, or products and services offered by others.
- You acknowledge there may be issues with accessing Vehicle Information and this being accurate or up to date. For example, when displayed through the Tecaser Services Tecaser Client Service, Vehicle Information is only updated as recently as is shown in the relevant page of the Tecaser Client Service. You may be able to request a refresh through the Tecaser Client Service if it appears to be out of date.
- By uploading or submitting any information, content or materials to the Tecaser Services and Tecaser Client Service, you allow Tecaser (and our suppliers) a worldwide right to use it to provide the Tecaser Services.
