Draft for review. This text was prepared for the staging portal. It is not Aston Martin's published terms and is not legal advice. It must be reviewed and approved by Aston Martin Financial Services' legal counsel, and the items in square brackets completed, before any real use.
1. About these terms
These terms apply to your use of the Aston Martin Financial Services portal (the "Portal"), operated by [legal entity name] ("AMFS", "we", "us"). By signing in you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Portal.
2. Who may use the Portal
The Portal is for AMFS employees and for staff of authorised Aston Martin retailers in Canada who have been given an account. It is a business tool and is not offered to consumers. You may use it only for the work your role allows, such as preparing quotes, submitting lease applications and following them through credit, documentation, delivery and registration.
3. Your account
- Your sign-in details are personal to you. Do not share them or let anyone else use your account.
- Tell us at once at [security contact email] if you think someone else knows your password or has used your account.
- We may require multi-factor sign-in and may suspend an account to protect the Portal or customer information.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- enter information you know to be false or misleading, or submit an application without the customer's knowledge and consent;
- access, copy or export customer or AMFS information beyond what your role needs;
- try to get around security controls, test the Portal for weaknesses without written permission, or interfere with its operation;
- upload files that contain malicious code, or use automated tools to collect data from the Portal.
5. Customer information and privacy
Applications contain personal information about customers, guarantors and their businesses. You must collect it lawfully, with the consents required, and handle it in line with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws, including Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector. Use it only to arrange and administer the lease. Report any loss or misuse to [privacy officer email] without delay. Our Privacy and Cookie Notice explains how AMFS handles personal information in the Portal.
6. Quotes, credit and lease documents
Quotes produced in the Portal are estimates based on the information entered and the rates in effect at the time. They are not an offer of credit. Every lease is subject to AMFS credit approval, verification of the customer's information and signed lease documents. AMFS may decline an application or change its terms before approval.
7. Confidentiality
Rates, programmes, credit policies, reports and other information in the Portal are confidential to AMFS. Do not share them outside your dealership or AMFS, except with a customer as part of their own transaction.
8. Trademarks and content
Aston Martin, the Aston Martin wings and Aston Martin Financial Services are trademarks of Aston Martin Lagonda Limited. The Portal and its content belong to AMFS or its licensors. You may use them only to do your work through the Portal.
9. Monitoring and records
For security, audit and regulatory purposes we record activity in the Portal, including sign-ins, changes to applications and documents sent. These records may be reviewed by AMFS and its auditors.
10. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the Portal available but do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may change, suspend or withdraw features. We may update these terms; we will tell you of material changes, and continuing to use the Portal after an update means you accept it.
11. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, AMFS is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses caused by information entered incorrectly, by your failure to keep your sign-in details secure, or by events outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. [Liability terms to be confirmed with the retailer agreement.]
12. Suspension and ending access
We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if your dealership's agreement with AMFS ends, or to protect customers or the Portal. Your dealership must tell us promptly when a user leaves so their account can be closed.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of [Ontario] and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of that province have jurisdiction.
