These are general examples for orientation, not legal advice. Laws on consumer protection, data privacy and telecommunications differ by country, so every contract should be reviewed by a lawyer before use. Amounts, parties and dates are left blank on purpose.
Variant 1: Vehicle location service agreement
Best for companies that sell the device together with the monthly tracking service.
- Definitions and object. What the vehicle location system includes: on-board device, software access, support, and the vehicles covered.
- Company responsibilities. Install the devices, administer the web and app access, provide technical support for installation and software, and offer optional extra services such as remote relay actions.
- Warranty. Equipment warranty of 12 months against manufacturing defects, counted from the first activation.
- Service limits. No liability for interruptions caused by the cellular network, lack of coverage, third-party data, or causes outside the company's control.
- Customer responsibilities. Do not alter, adjust or repair the installed devices; use the service lawfully; pay on time; pay applicable taxes; ask the company before moving a device to another vehicle.
- Confidentiality and intellectual property. Software and documentation stay the company's property; no sub-licensing, resale or copying by the customer.
- Price and payment. Equipment, installation and first month paid in advance; late payment allows suspension; service is restored within 24 hours after payment.
- Term and termination. 12 months from activation, automatic renewal unless either party gives 30 days of written notice; early termination for insolvency, misuse or breach.
Variant 2: Tracking and recovery service agreement
Best for stolen-vehicle recovery programmes, alone or bundled with insurance.
- Parties and background. Provider, individual or company user, and the purpose of locating and recovering a vehicle.
- Object. Installation of the unit, plus an optional recovery service; if the user declines recovery, those clauses are simply omitted.
- User duties. Provide the list of authorised drivers, follow the care instructions, and cooperate once the vehicle is located.
- Provider duties. Keep telephone lines open to receive the user's requests immediately and hold the required local authorisations.
- Price and payment. Monthly fee and payment method, or payment by an insurance company when the service comes through a policy.
- Late payment, false alarms and extra follow-ups. Conditions and charges when payment is late or when a recovery alert turns out to be false.
- Ending the contract. By completion, by mutual agreement, or by resolution at the request of either party for causes attributable to the other.
Variant 3: Equipment loan with monthly service
Best when you want to keep ownership of the hardware and bill a monthly rent.
- Equipment on loan. The device remains the provider's property and is installed on the customer's vehicle for as long as the service runs.
- Service request. Location and monitoring of the identified vehicle, subject to the equipment working and to network coverage.
- Scope of the service. The provider locates and monitors; it does not send staff to the event. The customer must report a theft immediately.
- Data. The customer authorises the provider to store the data exchanged between the equipment and the monitoring platform.
- Access to the equipment. The provider or its authorised distributors may access the equipment at any reasonable time for support and maintenance.
- Costs. Installation and monitoring, additional or value-added services, and tariff adjustments communicated in advance; roaming offered as an optional service.
- Return of equipment. The customer returns the devices at the end of the contract or pays for them if they are not returned.
- Term. 12 months, automatic renewal for equal periods, termination with notice, and a fee if the customer ends the contract early without justified cause.
Variant 4: Customer onboarding guide for sellers
A practical checklist so every new customer is registered, installed and welcomed the same way.
- Individual customers. Identity document, vehicle registration, written permission and contact confirmation if the vehicle belongs to someone else.
- Corporate customers. Company registration, tax documents and incorporation papers; a new equipment agreement for every extra device.
- Verification. Check the information against the customer files before activating the account.
- Installation procedure. Schedule within 24 hours whenever possible; arrange date and place for trucks and large vehicles; decide before installing whether roaming is needed.
- Installation record. A form with customer, vehicle and device data, signed by the customer to confirm the installation was done correctly.
- Welcome process. Send the welcome email with user access, call the customer to confirm the contract data and security code, and ask for a password change.
- Customer records. Enter the contract data in the customer file and add the email to the mailing list.
- Service tasks. Define a price list for installation, reinstallation, removal, replacement of parts and device swaps under warranty.
