Customer determines the categories of Goods that can be purchased with the Cards based on the available offering under the Card Program. WEX may at any time and without Notification extend or reduce the range of Goods it offers under the Card Program. The issuing of Cards to Customer does not confer any right to Customer to receive supplies of Goods.

3.3 Use of a Card constitutes a purchase of Goods from WEX or from Retailer, as the case may be. Title to the Goods and risk of loss will pass upon delivery of the Goods at the Supply Point.

3.4 Cards may only be used at participating Supply Points however Retailers have the right to retain cards and/or to refuse to supply Goods, accept Cards or process Transactions for any reason including, but not limited to, shortage of product, technical failure of equipment or failure by Customer to comply with this Agreement.

Customer shall ensure that the PIN is not compromised such as by keeping the PIN secret from any person other than the Cardholder, never storing the PIN together with the Card and entering a PIN discreetly.

(b) WEX may, in its sole discretion, determine proprietary security limits (such as a maximum value per Transaction, a maximum value for all Transactions per Card over a period of time or a maximum number of Transactions per Card over a period of time), above which Transactions may be refused or Cards may be blocked. These limits are determined, and may be revised at any time, by WEX in its absolute discretion. WEX may, but has no obligation to, refuse Transactions or block Cards that exceed such security limits and WEX will not be liable if Cards are used exceeding these security limits. At Customer’s request WEX may issue Card(s) that are exempt from security limits. Customer will indemnify WEX on demand in respect of all costs, claims and demands arising out of or in connection with the use of all such Cards.

This is without prejudice to Customer’s liability for use of Cards after termination until the moment where such Cards have been received back by WEX or to the rights of WEX already accrued at the date of such termination at the conditions that were valid before the termination of this Agreement. Securities shall remain in force until the last payment due under this Agreement has been received by WEX.

8. Exclusion and Limitation

8.1 WEX gives no warranty, express or implied, in relation to any Goods supplied to Customer other than relating to the title of the Goods supplied. WEX shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by Customer or the Cardholder in connection with any Goods save to the extent that such liability cannot by law be limited or excluded. WEX shall not be liable for any failure of Retailer to process Cards or for any refusal by Retailer to accept Cards. The sale of Goods by Retailers takes place under the exclusive responsibility of such Retailers and Customer must lodge any claim relating to the sale of Goods directly with such Retailers.

8.2 WEX’s liability under this Agreement for any claims relating to Goods purchased with a Card is limited to the purchase price of such Goods.

8.3 WEX is not liable for any loss of profits, loss of revenue or loss of opportunity or any consequential or indirect loss or damages incurred by Customer or Cardholder as a result of a claim.

8.4 Claims by Customer or Cardholder are waived unless made by registered letter within 10 calendar days from the date of the event triggering the claim.

8.5 Customer shall indemnify and hold WEX, its officers, employees and agents harmless in respect of any losses that are caused by or result from the negligence or wilful acts or omissions of Customer or its Cardholders.

8.6 Nothing in this Agreement has the effect of limiting or excluding any liability of WEX in respect of a Claim arising as a result of the fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct of WEX, its contractors or agents and their respective employees (but, for the avoidance of doubt, WEX shall not be liable in any way to Customer or Cardholder for the fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct of any third party service provider) save to the extent that liability cannot by law be excluded, and provided that WEX shall in no event be liable for any consequential or indirect loss howsoever arising.

9. Force Majeure

WEX shall not be liable for any failure to perform or any delay in performance under this Agreement arising from, or in connection with, any event that is not within WEX’s immediate control, including, but not limited to:

(a) strikes, lock-outs, labour disputes of any kind, partial or general stoppages of labour, refusals to perform any kind of work (whether or not any of the foregoing are lawful, or relate to WEX’s own employees or others);

(b) war, hostilities, terrorist activity, or any local, national or international emergency;

(c) acts of God, fire, flood, pandemic;

(d) any inability to obtain energy, utilities, equipment, transportation, the product deliverable under this Agreement or the feedstock from which the product is directly or indirectly derived;

(e) technical problems, breakdown of or accident relating to plant, machinery, facilities, Supply Points, transportation equipment, communication systems, computer hardware or systems or other equipment such as card readers;

(f) any hindrances to transportation;

(g) WEX’s fuel stocks falling below levels which WEX in its absolute discretion considers necessary;

(h) good faith compliance with any regulation, order or request of, or interference by, or restriction imposed by, any international, national or provincial port or other public authority or any person purporting to act for such authority (whether ultimately determined to be valid or invalid); or

(i) the threat, or reasonable apprehension, of any of the above events.

10. General

10.1 Signing or using a Card constitutes acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions.

10.2 WEX may unilaterally vary, add to or delete any provision of this Agreement and changes to this Agreement shall be posted on the Website (including any relevant effective dates). Customer shall check online from time to time for any updates or amendments to this Agreement. Use of a Card after any such update has been made to this Agreement shall be deemed to be acceptance of the modified Agreement by Customer.

10.3 WEX may transfer or assign the rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part (including, but not limited to, transferring, assigning or factoring any debts or claims) to third parties (including but not limited to other Affiliates) without Notification. Furthermore, WEX may, at its sole discretion, and without Notification, appoint any agent or contractor for the negotiation and/or execution of this Agreement and Customer hereby expressly confirms its consent to any such appointment. Customer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement with prior written consent from WEX.

10.4 If Customer consists of two or more persons, then their obligations under this Agreement shall be joint and several.

10.5 Each Party shall exercise reasonable care and diligence to prevent any action or condition which may result in a conflict of interest with those of the other Party. This obligation shall apply to the activities of each Party’s employees and agents in their relations with the employees and families of the other Party, its representatives, vendors, subcontractors and third parties. Each Party’s compliance with this requirement shall include, but shall not be limited to, establishing precautions to prevent that Party’s employees or agents from making, receiving, providing or offering substantial gifts, entertainment, payments, loans or other considerations for the purpose of influencing individuals to act contrary to the other Party’s best interest. Each Party shall promptly Notify the other Party the identity of its representatives or employees who are known in any way to have a substantial interest in the other Party’s business or the financing thereof.

10.6 No remedy of WEX against Customer is intended to be exclusive, but each remedy shall, to the maximum extent allowed by law, be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to herein or otherwise available to WEX. The exercise, or beginning to exercise, by WEX of any one or more remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by WEX of other remedies. All remedies of WEX shall, to the maximum extent allowed by law, survive any and all terminations of this Agreement. To the maximum extent allowed by law, no delay or failure on the part of WEX in exercising any right, remedy, power, or privilege of WEX shall operate as a waiver thereof.

10.7 Each of the clauses in this Agreement is independent and severable and shall not, in the event of any declaration of invalidity or unenforceability, affect the construction, or effect of, any other clause in this Agreement.

10.8 This Agreement shall form the entire agreement between WEX and Customer in relation to the use of the Cards and supersedes all other agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) in relation to the use of the Cards. Any terms and conditions provided by the Customer shall not apply to this Agreement.

10.9 Headings used in these General Terms and Conditions are for convenience only and shall not affect its interpretation.

10.10 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document, neither this Agreement nor any other document shall constitute an agreement by WEX to take any action or refrain from taking any action that is in conflict with, penalised under, or compliance with which is prohibited by, US law or regulation.

10.11 This Agreement, and any supplies of Goods made in conjunction with the use of the Card, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of England (excluding its rules on conflict of law) and Customer irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England. Neither the Uniform Law on the International Sale of Goods (‘ULIS’), nor the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods 1980 (‘CISG’) shall apply.

10.12 For Transactions involving Supply Points outside of the territory of the WEX company which has the primary relationship with the Customer (Outside Territory Transactions), an Affiliate will replace WEX in relation to the sale of Goods and issue of Invoices as set out in this Agreement.  At the date of issue of  this Agreement, the Affiliate is Retail Petroleum Services Limited  but this entity may be amended from time to time at the sole discretion of WEX.

Use of a Card for Outside Territory Transactions constitutes a purchase of Goods from Affiliate or from Retailer, as the case may be. Title to the Goods and risk of loss will pass upon delivery of the Goods at the Supply Point.  Invoices will be issued in respect of these supplies in accordance with the terms in section 5 above.

11. Country Specific Provisions

11.1 In the United Kingdom, Cards may only be used if shown to the Retailer prior to the purchase of Goods.

12. Intellectual Property

12.1 All intellectual property rights with regard to the website, software and other materials such as analyses, designs, documentation, reports, price offers and preparatory material thereof belong exclusively to WEX or its licensors unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.

13. E-Business

13.1 WEX reserves the right to implement procedural and technical changes and/or improvements to the e-business systems.
