Terms & Conditions

Introduction

We are an FuelAutoQuote service website. Some of the products and services available on our website are offered by third parties which are linked to via our website. Where this is the case, you will be bound by the third party’s terms and conditions.

If you are unsure about any aspect of these Terms & Conditions, or have any questions regarding our relationship with you, please contact info@becarefuel.co.uk

These Terms and Conditions relate to the following Carefuel service:

FuelAutoQuote service, by which you authorise us to assess your current fuel usage from time to time and, where we deem appropriate, to notify you of fuel cards that you may be interested in using or switching to from your current fuel card. You can then make a decision whether to instruct us to register a fuel card for you, based on the deals we have provided.

1. About Carefuel

The Services are provided by Carefuel Limited (also referred to in these Terms and Conditions as “Carefuel”, “we” or “us”), a company registered in England and Wales (company number 15451836) having a registered office at 31 Howbury Road, London, SE15 3HH.

Nothing in this site shall be deemed to constitute financial or other professional advice in any way. In choosing to use the Service from this site you should not rely solely on the information contained within the site pages. You should carefully read the terms and conditions relating to any specific product before proceeding.

Further information about the Service can be obtained from our website and other publications or by contacting us. All Service details, rates, terms, conditions and other information are subject to change from time to time.

You will not be charged for using our website and / or Services. Instead, when we introduce you via our website to buy a product or service from a third party, that third party pays a fee and/or commission to us.

2. Terms of website use

By using our Website or associated call centre(s), you agree to the following terms and conditions (the “Terms of Use”). If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you must not use our Website or associated call centre(s).

Specific services that we offer, or make available to you, may also be governed by additional or alternative terms and conditions with us, or third parties (including those of any call centre service provider(s) used by us).

3. The FuelAutoQuote Service

Fuel Cards

In order to assess the fuel card deals available on the market and to decide which one suits your needs best, we rely on information you provide to us regarding your fuel usage, fleet size and current fuel card information, if applicable. We do not independently verify the information you provide to us and we rely on what you tell us in order to find the best deals for you to consider. It is your responsibility therefore to ensure that the information you provide to us is accurate and up-to-date. In order to register a fuel card for you and as part of our ongoing service, we may access information held about you and your current fuel card provider by selected third parties.

We take into account a broad range of factors in selecting the best fuel card and supplier for you to choose from which include price but also include (without limitation) the accessibility of fuel stations, the quality of service, customer service, customer ratings, financial stability of the supplier, its track record and other information that may be available to us. Best value for money is one of the criteria by which we select fuel cards/suppliers for our subscribers but the deals that we send to you to choose from may not be the cheapest deal on the market at a given time and might not be the cheapest for your purposes. Please also refer to our “Customer Guarantee”.

4. Subscription term and renewals

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and Conditions the subscription for the FuelAutoQuote service will continue indefinitely. Your subscription will continue without limitation in time until either you or we decide to terminate the subscription.

You can terminate your subscription for the FuelAutoQuote service at any time by giving us notice through our contact email info@becarefuel.co.uk. If you proceed to switch a supplier on your own, outside the FuelAutoQuote service, we may treat that as a notice by you to terminate your subscription for the FuelAutoQuote Service.

We reserve the right to block access to Services (as a whole or in part), if we have any reason to believe that any part of the Services are being misused.

5. No representation/limited authorisation

We do not represent or act as the agent for any supplier in connection with the Services. Whilst we may have commercial relationships with suppliers and may negotiate collective deals with suppliers, in providing the Services we act independently using our own judgement to select suppliers and the best deals for our subscribers.

We take precautions not to put ourselves in conflict of interests and will seek to notify our subscribers if we believe we might be in conflict.

We will not represent you or act as your agent or representative in relation to your supply contracts with suppliers. By signing up to the FuelAutoQuote service in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, you give us limited authority to do only the following, that is:

(i) to review your details and your Current Fuel Card and (if you decide it is the best option for you) to select an alternative fuel card or supplier (based on the deals we provide you with); and (ii) to contact the selected supplier and to provide your details to the supplier (which may be your existing supplier in case of switching between different fuel cards of the same supplier) and to complete application or registration forms or application questionnaires in relation to your new fuel card supply contract, in order to arrange the switching of fuel cards or suppliers on your behalf. You understand and agree that we will complete such application forms and questionnaires on your behalf without seeking your instructions in relation to the details or answers provided in the forms.

You understand that the selected supplier you choose may run a credit check on you to ensure you are able to pay your bills. The result of this credit check may mean the supplier asks you for a deposit or they may refuse to supply you. Further details may be found on the specific supplier’s terms and conditions.

Once these steps are taken on your behalf, our FuelAutoQuote service is completed and we cease to be involved in relation to your fuel card supply contract. All other aspects of your contract with your supplier (including, without limitation, concluding your fuel card supply contract including providing any financial credentials or personal information or information relating to your vehicles or fuel usage to your new supplier, receiving, checking and paying bills,customer service and complaints and reporting or handling any service disruptions, or other incidents claims or events associated with the fuel card supply contract) are your sole responsibility. We do not and cannot represent you (or your supplier) in relation to any such matters.
