Terms and Conditions

By proceeding, you confirm your agreement to these terms and conditions of use of the Sentinel ServiceBoost Plans Portal provided by TradeHelp Ltd (the “Software”).

When you log-in, configure and use the Software TradeHelp Ltd collect information from you in order to help configure your Software to best effect for you, to support and contact you in connection with your use of the Software and connected benefits, and to inform you about products or services which we think may be of interest to you.

This information is also shared with Sentinel Performance Solutions Ltd (“Sentinel”).

Where you set up any Plans via the Software, you agree that we will be entitled to deduct the Fees shown on the Software from each monthly customer payment. This is in consideration for our provision of the Software functionality in accordance with these terms and conditions.

The Plans which can be set up through the Software are service plan contracts which allow your customer to spread their payment for the annual service of their boiler and (in the case of boiler and heating system care options) for some specific labour and parts costs which may reasonably be expected to arise in each year. You should configure the prices of your Plans on each occasion, to reflect the expected cost to you of carrying out the work described in the Plan.

When entering into a contract with a customer for a Plan administered by TradeHelp you must do so under the terms and conditions that you have been provided for this purpose. Furthermore, you must also ensure that you are fully aware of all the relevant laws, regulations and codes of conduct that may be applicable to selling to consumers whilst at their premises. We cannot be responsible or liable for any failure by you to comply with the law.

TradeHelp are the data controller responsible in respect of the information collected about you as a user of the Software and, unless we are legally required to do so, we will not share your data with third parties, other than Sentinel, without your express consent. You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please email us at [email protected]. Please let us know if the personal information which we hold about you needs to be corrected or updated.

TradeHelp are only a data processor in respect of the information collected by you through the Software. Such data is encrypted and transmitted to secure cloud/server storage and is not used by us other than to assist you with any enquiries or data retrieval. Your customer data remains within your control and responsibility, as does the requirement to inform each customer (in accordance with current data protection law) of the manner in which you will use and store their information.

TradeHelp will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information and any data entered into or provided by the Software. However, you acknowledge that the transmission of information over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet. You are responsible for keeping any password and other login details confidential.

Buying Group terms (applicable if you choose to take advantage of the free Buying Group benefits)

Registration for the ServiceBoost Portal also entitles you to access loyalty points and cashback from Sentinel, as well as discounted business support services, discounted merchant prices and cash back.

By registering you agree that, if you wish to take advantage of discounted merchant prices and cash back, TradeHelp will use your contact information (name, company name, address, telephone and email) to request from your Supplier/s (as selected or named by you when setting up or personalising your account) spend reports detailing the products and/or services purchased by your organisation from your Supplier/s, the volume purchased and the price at which these were purchased (the “Spend Reports”).

The first request from TradeHelp to your Supplier/s for a Spend Report shall relate to any and all purchases by your organisation from your Supplier/s during the 6 months prior to and including the date of your signature to this document, followed by requests for this Spend Report from your Supplier/s in respect of each month of your Buying Group membership going forwards. By signing below you are authorising your Supplier/s to provide the above information to TradeHelp for the purposes described below.

If we are unable to obtain a Spend Report from your Supplier/s, we will contact you for assistance in obtaining any further information required to facilitate this, or to ask you to scan across relevant invoices to us.

Whilst in TradeHelp’s possession, other than uses for the purposes of the Buying Group as set out below, TradeHelp will maintain the confidentiality of any Spend Reports and information or invoices provided by you (the “Data”) and TradeHelp will not share the Data with any third parties without your express consent.

TradeHelp will use the Data for four purposes:

1. 1. 1. To make claims to our manufacturer and/or merchant (if applicable) partners for cash back or discounts based on your purchases of qualifying products. The list of qualifying products and the cash back or discounts available to you from such claims is subject to change at any time without notice; you may obtain an up to date list at any time by contacting [email protected]. Please note that the payment out by these partners of any such claims is entirely in the partner’s discretion, and may be disallowed or reduced by the partner by reason of any direct contractual arrangements between your organisation and the partner or any promotional offers in place at the time of your initial purchase. We cannot therefore guarantee the payment out of any given sums. We also cannot make any payment out to you unless we are first in funds from the partner. Please note that the administration of claims generally takes up to 3 months from claim to receipt of funds.

1. 1. 2. To configure your software account with your Data, to improve the accuracy of the prices and options displayed.

1. 1. 3. To apply for and provide you with a bespoke cash account number with any merchant as may be agreed with you, enabling you to access the discounted price list negotiated by TradeHelp for our Buying Group members. Credit accounts with discounted TradeHelp terms may also be applied for on request.

1. 4. To price check the amounts charged to you, in order to verify that merchants are correctly applying the Buying Group terms.
