DATA RETENTION
To use the service tachograph data is downloaded to Continental Automotive
Trading UK Ltd.' servers and held there for a period of 13 months. Any data
older than 13 months is automatically removed. Your data will be held as long
as your subscription stays current. If your service subscription is allowed to
expire all your data associated with the lapsed service will be removed. This
data removal will usually occur within 3 months of your service expiring.

more Storage Blocks. If you do not respond to this E-mail we will put a warning
on your log in screen that you need to purchase more SB's. If after 28 days
your account has not been brought into a positive balance we may at our sole
discretion close your account without further notice.
If you do not ensure your account is kept with a positive balance Continental
Automotive Trading UK Ltd. and its partners are under no obligation to keep
your data.
"ACTIVE-X CONTROLS" - PROGRAMS PLACED AUTOMATICALLY ON
YOUR COMPUTER
When you subscribe to one of our Interactive Services, we may store some
programs on your computer in the form of an "Active-X Control" to provide an
effective service. Active-X Controls can help us in many ways; for example, by
allowing us to validate data entered without the need to continually transmit
information. Normally you will be prompted before the control is transferred.
Your Internet browser settings determine whether you receive a warning before
an Active-X Control is stored. If your network or system settings prohibit the
downloading of these components then some of our services will not operate
without these controls.
REFUNDS/RIGHTS TO WITHDRAW
You may cancel your agreement at any time by stopping using the service,
subject to the following conditions:
-
There will be no refund for any unused Storage Blocks;
-
The data will be retained on the system for a period of 3 months following a
period of 6 months inactivity. Once this 3 months period has expired your
access to the system will be terminated.

discretion, to terminate your access to all or part of this site, with or
without notice.
