Rebate/credit
- Qualifying Businesses participating in the Offer are additionally entitled to a rebate from TPS, in full or partial reimbursement of costs payable, by the Qualifying Business, to VehicleVision® under the EULA.
- The level of such rebate depends on the number of Qualifying Videos sent by the relevant Qualifying Business to its vehicle owner customers in a calendar month. For the purposes of these Terms:
(a) "Qualifying Video" means a Video sent to a genuine vehicle owner customer in respect of the servicing or repair of that customer's vehicle;
(b) a maximum of one Qualifying Video per vehicle and per calendar month will be used for the purpose of calculating rebate due under these Terms (if any);
(c) subject to (a) and (b) above, Qualifying Videos for any genuine vehicle may be included in the calculation of the rebate due under these Terms (if any) – they are not restricted to videos of Volkswagen Group vehicles.
- The rebate which TPS shall make available to Qualifying Businesses, participating in the Offer in compliance with these Terms, shall be as follows:
Number of Qualifying Videos sent to vehicle owner customers in the relevant calendar month Credit in £ 0-20 0 21-40 175 41+ 150
If you terminate your participation in the Offer during a calendar month, then the number of Qualifying Videos sent in that calendar month, for the purpose of the rebate calculation, shall be the number of Qualifying Videos actually sent between the commencement of the relevant calendar month and the date on which you terminate your participation in the Offer (and, for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no pro rata adjustment to such figure). If TPS terminates your participation in the Offer during a calendar month, then, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of TPS, you shall not be entitled to any rebate for that calendar month irrespective of how many Qualifying Videos you have sent during that calendar month.
- Rebates will be credited monthly, typically within ten (10) working days of the end of the calendar month. Rebates for TPS credit customers will be paid as a credit against the customer's TPS credit account. TPS cash account customers will receive their rebate as a credit to their account. All credits must be applied by TPS customers to purchases of products from TPS within twelve (12) months of the date on which they are applied to the TPS customer's account. After that date, the credit (or the unused portion of the credit, as applicable) will be cancelled and no further rebate, credit or other benefit will be due to the TPS customer in respect of the Qualifying Videos which gave rise to the cancelled credit.
- No rebate, credit or payment will be made by TPS other than as expressly set out in these Terms. TPS does not warrant that rebates credited to you pursuant to these Terms will be a full rebate of fees payable by you to VehicleVision® under the terms of the EULA or any other agreement which you have with VehicleVision®. You are solely responsible for negotiating and agreeing the EULA with VehicleVision®, including any applicable pricing, and for making any payments to VehicleVision® under the terms of the EULA and any other agreement which you have with VehicleVision®.
