17.7 If you have any discount applied to your service, such as a Client discount or multi service discount, the monthly discount will cease from this point and termination charges will be calculated at the full monthly charge excluding discounts multiplied by the remaining contracted months. If you terminate another service with us then that discount will no longer be applied to that service. You will then be charged the full monthly charge without discounts for the remaining contracted months.
17.8 On termination of the agreement the Client must return all rental/loaned equipment within 30 days. Equipment must be returned in its original packaging as per clause 6.3(e) and in good condition as outlined in clause 6.
17.9 If the client fails to return all equipment in the condition as outlined in clause 16.8 CAN will impose charges on the client based on the Zen current equipment fees + 20% for the router and market value for all other equipment.
18.0 Matters beyond CAN control
18.1 We may not be able to provide a service (or part of a service) due to, or your service may be affected by, something beyond our reasonable control. In this scenario, we cannot accept responsibility for what has occurred and we may need to suspend or terminate your service or agreement. For example, due to the nature of the telecommunications sector and our reliance on third party network suppliers our services are contingent upon the service levels maintained by such third-party telecommunication network CANs and where the components of a service are reliant on such suppliers and changes are made by such suppliers outside of our direct control, we cannot guarantee the continuity, availability or performance of our service.
18.2 In such circumstances as referenced under 13.1, we may need to suspend or terminate your service or agreement. The Client’s obligation to fulfil their duty under this contract ceases from this date of suspension or termination. The Client will only be charged up to the date the service remains available and accessible.
18.3 In the event you decide to move to another premises, your new landlord may cause our services to be restricted due to the configuration of telecommunications and data supply to your new premises. In this circumstance, the Client shall continue to be liable up to the end of the then Minimum Contract Period.
19.0 Resolving problems and complaints
19.1 Please escalate any issues through our complaints procedure on our website https://www.can-solutions.co.uk/complaints-procedure. If this does not resolve the issue, please contact us as soon as possible. You must give us the opportunity to resolve your problems and you must continue to pay your bills whilst we investigate.
19.2 If the Client is dissatisfied with the solution of the CAN, and subsequent court proceedings are initiated, the decision of the court will be final and the services provided by the CAN will continue until the court resolves the issue.

(f) Notify the Client without undue delay on becoming aware of a Personal Data breach;
(g) At the written direction of the Client, delete or return Personal Data and copies thereof to the Client on termination of the agreement unless required by the GDPR to store the Personal Data; and
(h) Maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this clause [19.5.(h)] and allow for audits by the Client or the Client’s designated auditor.
20.6 Either party may, at any time on not less than 30 days’ notice, revise this clause [19.6] by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms forming party of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this agreement).
21.0 Provision of Information
22.1 The Client will provide to CAN promptly and without charge all such information and co-operation that we may reasonably require from time to time to enable us to perform and observe our obligations under these terms of business.
22.0 Entire Agreement
22.1 The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.
22.2 Each party acknowledges that in entering into the Contract it does not rely on, and shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in the Contract.
23.0 Exclusions
23.1 Where connectivity and/or equipment is provided by an alternative CAN, we are not responsible for loss of service or disruption for voice quality.
23.2 Where the Client has not maintained a secure password, and this is a cause of a loss of any kind including but not limited to the ordering of the Client maintains liability for the loss.
23.3 We are not able to guarantee the transfer of telephone numbers to other service CANs should you wish to cancel the Services. This is dependent on holding a porting agreement with the new CAN in question.
