Version 2.1 – October 2025
The Parties
This is an agreement for the provision of services between:
(1) Zuno OpCo Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (registered company number 08086606).
Registered office: 3320 Century Way, Thorpe Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, LS15 8ZB (“Zuno”).
and
(2) The Contractor.
Each a "Party" and together the "Parties".
Background
(1) Zuno’s business includes the supply of boilers, solar panels, heat pumps, air conditioning units, electric vehicle chargers and smart and connected home devices. In addition to supplying such products, Zuno offers installation and related services, such as repair and maintenance through a number of independent subcontractors.
(2) The Contractor is either (i) a specialist business, in business on its own account, engaging a number of installers who specialise in one or more of the services that Zuno provides to end customers; or (ii) is a self-employed individual, in business on his or her own account and specialising in one or more of the services that Zuno offers to end customers.
(3) Zuno issues initial job details for each job. These initial job details set out a general description of the type of services required, approximate location for the performance of the services and date for delivery of the services to its subcontractors. The sub-contractor can then elect whether or not it wishes to provide those services with respect of each job (either, in the case of a specialist business, through the installers it engages (who must be Nominated Personnel) or, in the case of a self-employed individual, itself or through Nominated Personnel).
(4) Zuno wishes to offer the Contractor the opportunity, on an independent sub-contract basis, to provide services to end customers. In providing such services, the Contractor will either be acting as (i) a business acting on its own account; or (b) in a self-employed capacity. The Contractor can elect, on a job-by-job basis, whether it wishes to provide services offered to it by Zuno.
(5) Zuno and the Contractor each recognise the highly regulated nature of the Services to be provided and the Contractor has represented to Zuno that it has (and that any Nominated Personnel used by it to perform the Services, have) the necessary qualifications, experience and abilities to provide the Services.
(6) The Contractor and Zuno have agreed that the Contractor shall provide such services at its own risk, either as a business acting on its own account (on a subcontract basis) or on a self-employed (sub-contract basis) on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.

2. Services
2.1 All Job Cards will be governed by the terms of this Agreement and each Job Card shall be part of this
Agreement and shall not form a separate contract to it.
2.2. From the Effective Date the Contractor agrees to provide the Services either directly or through a
Nominated Personnel in accordance with any Job Card which the Contractor accepts. The Contractor
acknowledges that Zuno is not obliged to provide the Contractor with a minimum volume of (or any) Job
Cards and is therefore not providing the Contractor with any assurances as to the level of work that it may receive. Equally, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing the Contractor from being engaged, concerned or otherwise having any other financial interest in any other business.
2.3. Zuno acknowledges that the Contractor works on its own account and therefore is not obliged to
accept any (or a minimum number of) Initial Job Details (and will not suffer any detriment or penalty for
turning down offers of work). If the Contractor declines an Initial Job Detail (for example, due to the location of the work or the nature of the services specified in the Initial Job Details) but wishes to be considered for other Zuno work on that date, it should liaise directly with Zuno to ensure that Zuno is aware of this.
2.4. The Contractor will be solely responsible for providing and managing Nominated Personnel to provide
the Services and is permitted to provide the Services through Nominated Personnel. It is acknowledged and agreed that ensuring compliance with all applicable Regulatory Requirements is of the utmost importance in the provision of the Services and the Contractor therefore agrees to ensure that it, and all Nominated Personnel hold all necessary qualifications, licences and permissions to ensure compliance with all applicable Regulatory Requirements.
2.5. Each Party acknowledges that the Contractor is an expert in its field and shall have autonomy over its
working methods based on the Contractor's skills and experience subject always to the Contractor
complying with the applicable Regulatory Requirements.
2.6. The Contractor is permitted to send as a substitute any Nominated Personnel, provided that any
proposed substitute possesses the necessary skills and qualifications for the satisfactory completion of the Services including holding all necessary qualifications, licences and permissions to comply with the
applicable Regulatory Requirements and has been approved by Zuno via the Zuno App. The Contractor
acknowledges that it is necessary for Zuno to approve all Nominated Personnel given the nature of the
Services and to ensure that it can monitor compliance with Regulatory Requirements. Zuno will approve an individual as a Nominated Personnel via the Zuno App if the individual possesses the necessary skills and qualifications, licences and permissions to comply with the applicable Regulatory Requirements. The
Contractor will remain responsible for the Services completed by substitute Nominated Personnel and will
bear any costs incurred by Zuno associated with Services carried out by the Nominated Personnel. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Contractor sends as a substitute a Nominated Personnel, the
Contractor is responsible for invoicing Zuno pursuant to Clause 4.1 and any Fees payable pursuant to
Clause 4.1 below will be payable by Zuno to the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for the
remuneration of the Nominated Personnel in all circumstances.
2.7. Zuno will agree with end customers the date that the Services are to be carried out and offer to its
contractors the Initial Job Details. If the Contractor accepts the Initial Job Details (including the date the
Services are to be carried out), provided that another contractor has not accepted the Initial Job Details
beforehand, the Contractor will be allocated the Job Card via the Zuno App. If the Initial Job Details identify a location which will involve the Contractor travelling outside of the geographical area where they usually work, the Contractor will notify Zuno and Zuno and the Contractor will discuss and agree any appropriate additional fees with respect to any such Services. To help to ensure the efficient allocation of Initial Job Details and Job Cards, the Contractor is responsible for keeping its calendar up to date and for only accepting Initial Job Details that either it, or a substitute Nominated Personnel is able to complete. If, having accepted the Initial Job Details and been provided with the Job Card, the Contractor reasonably expects that it will not be able to provide the Services (either itself or via Nominated Personnel) or that the provision of the Services may be delayed, the Contractor shall promptly notify Zuno and Zuno may, as a result, terminate the Job Card (without penalty to the Contractor). The Contractor is only permitted to appoint Nominated Personnel to carry out the Services for any Job Card in its place. The Contractor is not permitted to contact the end customer directly to notify the end customer that it will not be able to provide the Services or that the provision of the Services may be delayed. These communications will be dealt with by Zuno to ensure consistency in how customers are managed.
2.8. The Contractor will and shall procure that its Nominated Personnel will:
2.8.1. comply with all Regulatory Requirements and any relevant manufacturer instructions;
2.8.2. comply with all reasonable rules, regulations and other working practices applicable from time to time at the Location including all health and safety rules and security requirements from time to time in force, insofar as they are applicable to independent contractors;
2.8.3. utilising the experience of the Contractor and any Nominated Personnel (as relevant), perform the
Services with the highest level of care, skill and diligence;
2.8.4. not take any action or omit to take any action which would have the effect of damaging the reputation of Zuno and its affiliates.
2.8.5. complete all documentation via the Zuno App, including any documentation relating to the Nominated Personnel, and submit all such documentation in a timely manner;
2.8.6. ensure that all Services are fit for purpose and carry out appropriate testing before leaving the
Location to ensure that the Services and/or any goods installed, repaired or maintained by the Contractor
are fully functional;
2.8.7. cooperate with Zuno in all matters relating to the Services;
2.8.8. obtain and at all times, maintain during the Term of this Agreement, all necessary licences, consents
and permits as required by the applicable Regulatory Requirements and comply with all applicable laws in
relation to the Services and provide evidence of such licences, consents and permits to Zuno at Zuno’s
reasonable request;
2.8.9. not do or omit to do anything which may cause Zuno to lose any licence, authority, consent or
permission on which it relies for the purposes of conducting its business.
2.9. If a situation occurs whilst the Contractor or its Nominated Personnel are at the Location that may
require a change to the Services (for example, the Services which need to be provided are different or
require adjustments to the description set out in the Job Card or require the Contractor to provide additional materials beyond those originally envisaged when the Contractor agreed to provide the Services), the Contractor will contact Zuno by telephone whilst at the Location to confirm any necessary changes, including agreeing any changes to the Fees payable to the Contractor.
2.10. The relationship of the Contractor (and any Nominated Personnel) to Zuno will be that of
non-exclusive, self-employed independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement shall render it (or the Nominated Personnel) an employee, worker, agent or partner of Zuno and the Contractor shall not hold itself out as such and shall ensure that the Nominated Personnel do not hold themselves out as such.
2.11. It is not intended for there to be any mutuality of obligations between Zuno and the Contractor either
during the Agreement or upon termination of the same. Zuno is under no obligation to offer Initial Job Cards and/or Job Cards to the Contractor and if it does make any such offer, the Contractor is not obliged to accept any jobs offered to it through the Zuno App.
2.12. This Agreement constitutes a contract for the provision of services whereby the Contractor provides
services on an independent sub-contract basis and is not a contract of employment or a worker contract
and accordingly the Contractor shall be fully responsible for and shall indemnify Zuno and shall keep Zuno
fully and effectively indemnified from and against:
2.12.1. any income tax, national insurance and social security contributions and any other liability,
deduction, contribution, assessment or claim arising from or made in connection with either the
performance of the Services or any payment or benefit received by the Contractor and Nominated
Personnel in respect of the Services, where such recovery is not prohibited by law. The Contractor shall
further indemnify Zuno against all reasonable costs, expenses and any penalty, fine or interest incurred or
payable by Zuno in connection with or in consequence of any such liability, deduction, contribution,
assessment or claim; and
2.12.2. any liability arising from any employment-related claim or any claim based on worker status
(including reasonable costs and expenses) brought by the Nominated Personnel against Zuno arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services.
2.13. Zuno may at its option satisfy such indemnity (in whole or in part) by way of deduction from payments due to the Contractor and/or any Nominated Personnel.
3. Acceptance
3.1 Upon completing the Services required under a Job Card and to facilitate payment of the Fees, the
Contractor shall submit to Zuno via the Zuno App photographic evidence of the completed Services and
such other documentation as specified by Zuno in such form so as to enable Zuno to carry out a review of
the images and documentation to ensure compliance with Regulatory Requirements.
3.2. Unless a different timescale for auditing and acceptance is specified in a Job Card, Zuno shall
commence the review of the images and customer service survey within fourteen (14) calendar days
following its receipt of the images and documentation.
3.3. Upon completing its review, Zuno shall notify the Contractor in writing whether the Services are
accepted or rejected. The Services will be deemed to be accepted if they are not expressly rejected in
writing by Zuno within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by Zuno of the images.
3.4. If Zuno rejects the Services pursuant to Clause 3.3 above, it shall notify the Contractor and give the
Contractor the opportunity to return to the Location to correct any deficiencies or non-conformities. The
Contractor shall liaise with Zuno to arrange a date to return to the Location to remedy the deficiencies as
promptly as possible but no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the notice given pursuant to
Clause 3.3 above. All such remedial actions by the Contractor shall be the Contractor's responsibility and
shall be at the Contractor's cost.
3.5. The Contractor acknowledges that there may be circumstances where it is not appropriate for the
Contractor or the Nominated Personnel to return to the Location to remedy the defect, for example, due to the specific nature of a customer complaint. In such circumstances, Zuno will notify the Contractor and will arrange for an alternative contractor to attend the Location to remedy the defect. Such remedial actions shall be at the Contractor's cost and Zuno will be entitled to deduct from the Fees due to the Contractor the amounts paid by Zuno to such alternative contractor.
3.6. Where Zuno has accepted the Services relating to a Job Card and a problem or deficiency with the
Services is identified at a later date up to 13 months following the Completion Date, Zuno shall notify the
Contractor and discuss with the Contractor whether the Contractor wishes to remedy such deficiency (at its own cost). If the Contractor does not wish to return to remedy the deficiency or is unable to do so within the timescales required by the end Customer or if the nature of the customer complaint means that it is not appropriate for the Contractor or the Nominated Personnel to return to the Location to remedy the deficiency, Zuno reserves the right to resolve any such problems with the end Customer in such manner as it considers appropriate and to seek reimbursement from the Contractor in relation to all liabilities incurred in relation to those Services.
4. Invoices and Payment

Subject to Clause 4.2, the Fees payable are set out in the Approved Contractor Schedule of Rates and payment of Fees is made in accordance with the Payment Terms. Each invoice shall specifically refer to the Job Card to which it relates.
4.2. It is recognised that there may be circumstances where the nature of the Services in a Job Card change (as contemplated by Clause 2.9) or where the Location is outside of the geographical area where the Contractor usually carries out its business (as contemplated by Clause 2.7).

that such invoice or part of invoice relates to any Service that has not been accepted by Zuno.

Version 2.1 – October 2025
The Parties
This is an agreement for the provision of services between:
(1) Zuno OpCo Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (registered company number 08086606).
Registered office: 3320 Century Way, Thorpe Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, LS15 8ZB (“Zuno”).
and
(2) The Contractor.
Each a "Party" and together the "Parties".
Background
(1) Zuno’s business includes the supply of boilers, solar panels, heat pumps, air conditioning units, electric vehicle chargers and smart and connected home devices. In addition to supplying such products, Zuno offers installation and related services, such as repair and maintenance through a number of independent subcontractors.
(2) The Contractor is either (i) a specialist business, in business on its own account, engaging a number of installers who specialise in one or more of the services that Zuno provides to end customers; or (ii) is a self-employed individual, in business on his or her own account and specialising in one or more of the services that Zuno offers to end customers.
(3) Zuno issues initial job details for each job. These initial job details set out a general description of the type of services required, approximate location for the performance of the services and date for delivery of the services to its subcontractors. The sub-contractor can then elect whether or not it wishes to provide those services with respect of each job (either, in the case of a specialist business, through the installers it engages (who must be Nominated Personnel) or, in the case of a self-employed individual, itself or through Nominated Personnel).
(4) Zuno wishes to offer the Contractor the opportunity, on an independent sub-contract basis, to provide services to end customers. In providing such services, the Contractor will either be acting as (i) a business acting on its own account; or (b) in a self-employed capacity. The Contractor can elect, on a job-by-job basis, whether it wishes to provide services offered to it by Zuno.
(5) Zuno and the Contractor each recognise the highly regulated nature of the Services to be provided and the Contractor has represented to Zuno that it has (and that any Nominated Personnel used by it to perform the Services, have) the necessary qualifications, experience and abilities to provide the Services.
(6) The Contractor and Zuno have agreed that the Contractor shall provide such services at its own risk, either as a business acting on its own account (on a subcontract basis) or on a self-employed (sub-contract basis) on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.

2. Services
2.1 All Job Cards will be governed by the terms of this Agreement and each Job Card shall be part of this
Agreement and shall not form a separate contract to it.
2.2. From the Effective Date the Contractor agrees to provide the Services either directly or through a
Nominated Personnel in accordance with any Job Card which the Contractor accepts. The Contractor
acknowledges that Zuno is not obliged to provide the Contractor with a minimum volume of (or any) Job
Cards and is therefore not providing the Contractor with any assurances as to the level of work that it may receive. Equally, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing the Contractor from being engaged, concerned or otherwise having any other financial interest in any other business.
2.3. Zuno acknowledges that the Contractor works on its own account and therefore is not obliged to
accept any (or a minimum number of) Initial Job Details (and will not suffer any detriment or penalty for
turning down offers of work). If the Contractor declines an Initial Job Detail (for example, due to the location of the work or the nature of the services specified in the Initial Job Details) but wishes to be considered for other Zuno work on that date, it should liaise directly with Zuno to ensure that Zuno is aware of this.
2.4. The Contractor will be solely responsible for providing and managing Nominated Personnel to provide
the Services and is permitted to provide the Services through Nominated Personnel. It is acknowledged and agreed that ensuring compliance with all applicable Regulatory Requirements is of the utmost importance in the provision of the Services and the Contractor therefore agrees to ensure that it, and all Nominated Personnel hold all necessary qualifications, licences and permissions to ensure compliance with all applicable Regulatory Requirements.
2.5. Each Party acknowledges that the Contractor is an expert in its field and shall have autonomy over its
working methods based on the Contractor's skills and experience subject always to the Contractor
complying with the applicable Regulatory Requirements.
2.6. The Contractor is permitted to send as a substitute any Nominated Personnel, provided that any
proposed substitute possesses the necessary skills and qualifications for the satisfactory completion of the Services including holding all necessary qualifications, licences and permissions to comply with the
applicable Regulatory Requirements and has been approved by Zuno via the Zuno App. The Contractor
acknowledges that it is necessary for Zuno to approve all Nominated Personnel given the nature of the
Services and to ensure that it can monitor compliance with Regulatory Requirements. Zuno will approve an individual as a Nominated Personnel via the Zuno App if the individual possesses the necessary skills and qualifications, licences and permissions to comply with the applicable Regulatory Requirements. The
Contractor will remain responsible for the Services completed by substitute Nominated Personnel and will
bear any costs incurred by Zuno associated with Services carried out by the Nominated Personnel. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Contractor sends as a substitute a Nominated Personnel, the
Contractor is responsible for invoicing Zuno pursuant to Clause 4.1 and any Fees payable pursuant to
Clause 4.1 below will be payable by Zuno to the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for the
remuneration of the Nominated Personnel in all circumstances.
2.7. Zuno will agree with end customers the date that the Services are to be carried out and offer to its
contractors the Initial Job Details. If the Contractor accepts the Initial Job Details (including the date the
Services are to be carried out), provided that another contractor has not accepted the Initial Job Details
beforehand, the Contractor will be allocated the Job Card via the Zuno App. If the Initial Job Details identify a location which will involve the Contractor travelling outside of the geographical area where they usually work, the Contractor will notify Zuno and Zuno and the Contractor will discuss and agree any appropriate additional fees with respect to any such Services. To help to ensure the efficient allocation of Initial Job Details and Job Cards, the Contractor is responsible for keeping its calendar up to date and for only accepting Initial Job Details that either it, or a substitute Nominated Personnel is able to complete. If, having accepted the Initial Job Details and been provided with the Job Card, the Contractor reasonably expects that it will not be able to provide the Services (either itself or via Nominated Personnel) or that the provision of the Services may be delayed, the Contractor shall promptly notify Zuno and Zuno may, as a result, terminate the Job Card (without penalty to the Contractor). The Contractor is only permitted to appoint Nominated Personnel to carry out the Services for any Job Card in its place. The Contractor is not permitted to contact the end customer directly to notify the end customer that it will not be able to provide the Services or that the provision of the Services may be delayed. These communications will be dealt with by Zuno to ensure consistency in how customers are managed.
2.8. The Contractor will and shall procure that its Nominated Personnel will:
2.8.1. comply with all Regulatory Requirements and any relevant manufacturer instructions;
2.8.2. comply with all reasonable rules, regulations and other working practices applicable from time to time at the Location including all health and safety rules and security requirements from time to time in force, insofar as they are applicable to independent contractors;
2.8.3. utilising the experience of the Contractor and any Nominated Personnel (as relevant), perform the
Services with the highest level of care, skill and diligence;
2.8.4. not take any action or omit to take any action which would have the effect of damaging the reputation of Zuno and its affiliates.
2.8.5. complete all documentation via the Zuno App, including any documentation relating to the Nominated Personnel, and submit all such documentation in a timely manner;
2.8.6. ensure that all Services are fit for purpose and carry out appropriate testing before leaving the
Location to ensure that the Services and/or any goods installed, repaired or maintained by the Contractor
are fully functional;
2.8.7. cooperate with Zuno in all matters relating to the Services;
2.8.8. obtain and at all times, maintain during the Term of this Agreement, all necessary licences, consents
and permits as required by the applicable Regulatory Requirements and comply with all applicable laws in
relation to the Services and provide evidence of such licences, consents and permits to Zuno at Zuno’s
reasonable request;
2.8.9. not do or omit to do anything which may cause Zuno to lose any licence, authority, consent or
permission on which it relies for the purposes of conducting its business.
2.9. If a situation occurs whilst the Contractor or its Nominated Personnel are at the Location that may
require a change to the Services (for example, the Services which need to be provided are different or
require adjustments to the description set out in the Job Card or require the Contractor to provide additional materials beyond those originally envisaged when the Contractor agreed to provide the Services), the Contractor will contact Zuno by telephone whilst at the Location to confirm any necessary changes, including agreeing any changes to the Fees payable to the Contractor.
2.10. The relationship of the Contractor (and any Nominated Personnel) to Zuno will be that of
non-exclusive, self-employed independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement shall render it (or the Nominated Personnel) an employee, worker, agent or partner of Zuno and the Contractor shall not hold itself out as such and shall ensure that the Nominated Personnel do not hold themselves out as such.
2.11. It is not intended for there to be any mutuality of obligations between Zuno and the Contractor either
during the Agreement or upon termination of the same. Zuno is under no obligation to offer Initial Job Cards and/or Job Cards to the Contractor and if it does make any such offer, the Contractor is not obliged to accept any jobs offered to it through the Zuno App.
2.12. This Agreement constitutes a contract for the provision of services whereby the Contractor provides
services on an independent sub-contract basis and is not a contract of employment or a worker contract
and accordingly the Contractor shall be fully responsible for and shall indemnify Zuno and shall keep Zuno
fully and effectively indemnified from and against:
2.12.1. any income tax, national insurance and social security contributions and any other liability,
deduction, contribution, assessment or claim arising from or made in connection with either the
performance of the Services or any payment or benefit received by the Contractor and Nominated
Personnel in respect of the Services, where such recovery is not prohibited by law. The Contractor shall
further indemnify Zuno against all reasonable costs, expenses and any penalty, fine or interest incurred or
payable by Zuno in connection with or in consequence of any such liability, deduction, contribution,
assessment or claim; and
2.12.2. any liability arising from any employment-related claim or any claim based on worker status
(including reasonable costs and expenses) brought by the Nominated Personnel against Zuno arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services.
2.13. Zuno may at its option satisfy such indemnity (in whole or in part) by way of deduction from payments due to the Contractor and/or any Nominated Personnel.
3. Acceptance
3.1 Upon completing the Services required under a Job Card and to facilitate payment of the Fees, the
Contractor shall submit to Zuno via the Zuno App photographic evidence of the completed Services and
such other documentation as specified by Zuno in such form so as to enable Zuno to carry out a review of
the images and documentation to ensure compliance with Regulatory Requirements.
3.2. Unless a different timescale for auditing and acceptance is specified in a Job Card, Zuno shall
commence the review of the images and customer service survey within fourteen (14) calendar days
following its receipt of the images and documentation.
3.3. Upon completing its review, Zuno shall notify the Contractor in writing whether the Services are
accepted or rejected. The Services will be deemed to be accepted if they are not expressly rejected in
writing by Zuno within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by Zuno of the images.
3.4. If Zuno rejects the Services pursuant to Clause 3.3 above, it shall notify the Contractor and give the
Contractor the opportunity to return to the Location to correct any deficiencies or non-conformities. The
Contractor shall liaise with Zuno to arrange a date to return to the Location to remedy the deficiencies as
promptly as possible but no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the notice given pursuant to
Clause 3.3 above. All such remedial actions by the Contractor shall be the Contractor's responsibility and
shall be at the Contractor's cost.
3.5. The Contractor acknowledges that there may be circumstances where it is not appropriate for the
Contractor or the Nominated Personnel to return to the Location to remedy the defect, for example, due to the specific nature of a customer complaint. In such circumstances, Zuno will notify the Contractor and will arrange for an alternative contractor to attend the Location to remedy the defect. Such remedial actions shall be at the Contractor's cost and Zuno will be entitled to deduct from the Fees due to the Contractor the amounts paid by Zuno to such alternative contractor.
3.6. Where Zuno has accepted the Services relating to a Job Card and a problem or deficiency with the
Services is identified at a later date up to 13 months following the Completion Date, Zuno shall notify the
Contractor and discuss with the Contractor whether the Contractor wishes to remedy such deficiency (at its own cost). If the Contractor does not wish to return to remedy the deficiency or is unable to do so within the timescales required by the end Customer or if the nature of the customer complaint means that it is not appropriate for the Contractor or the Nominated Personnel to return to the Location to remedy the deficiency, Zuno reserves the right to resolve any such problems with the end Customer in such manner as it considers appropriate and to seek reimbursement from the Contractor in relation to all liabilities incurred in relation to those Services.
4. Invoices and Payment
4.1 Following the acceptance of the delivery of Services under Clause 3.3, in order to ensure efficiencies for both Zuno and the Contractor, Zuno shall create invoices for the Contractor (or their Nominated Personnel) on a weekly basis as set out in the self-billing agreement and send copies of these to the email address held by it for the Contractor. Subject to Clause 4.2, the Fees payable are set out in the Approved Contractor Schedule of Rates and payment of Fees is made in accordance with the Payment Terms. Each invoice shall specifically refer to the Job Card to which it relates.
4.2. It is recognised that there may be circumstances where the nature of the Services in a Job Card change (as contemplated by Clause 2.9) or where the Location is outside of the geographical area where the Contractor usually carries out its business (as contemplated by Clause 2.7). In these circumstances, the Contractor shall notify Zuno and Zuno and the Contractor shall agree to any additional fees payable by Zuno for those Services.
4.3. Any Contractor queries regarding invoices emailed to them should be addressed to
installersupport@zuno.tech.
4.4. Zuno shall pay each such invoice upon the later of: a) within thirty (30) calendar days of it being

that such invoice or part of invoice relates to any Service that has not been accepted by Zuno.
4.5. In addition to the Fees, Zuno shall, if the Contractor or its Nominated Personnel is legally required to
charge value added tax ("VAT") on the Fees, pay such VAT at the rates prescribed by law at the time such
Fees become due and subject to being documented on the VAT invoice produced.
4.6. Zuno shall be entitled to deduct and/or set off from the Fees (and any other sums) due to the Contractor any sums that the Contractor may owe to Zuno at any time including but not limited to in relation to Clauses 3.5 and 3.6.

5.1.1. the Services shall be performed by appropriately experienced, qualified and trained professional

The Parties
This is an agreement for the provision of services between:
(1) Zuno OpCo Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (registered company number 08086606).
Registered office: 3320 Century Way, Thorpe Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, LS15 8ZB (“Zuno”).
and
(2) The Contractor.
Each a "Party" and together the "Parties".
Background
(1) Zuno’s business includes the supply of boilers, solar panels, heat pumps, air conditioning units, electric vehicle chargers and smart and connected home devices. In addition to supplying such products, Zuno offers installation and related services, such as repair and maintenance through a number of independent subcontractors.
(2) The Contractor is either (i) a specialist business, in business on its own account, engaging a number of installers who specialise in one or more of the services that Zuno provides to end customers; or (ii) is a self-employed individual, in business on his or her own account and specialising in one or more of the services that Zuno offers to end customers.
(3) Zuno issues initial job details for each job. These initial job details set out a general description of the type of services required, approximate location for the performance of the services and date for delivery of the services to its subcontractors. The sub-contractor can then elect whether or not it wishes to provide those services with respect of each job (either, in the case of a specialist business, through the installers it engages (who must be Nominated Personnel) or, in the case of a self-employed individual, itself or through Nominated Personnel).
(4) Zuno wishes to offer the Contractor the opportunity, on an independent sub-contract basis, to provide services to end customers. In providing such services, the Contractor will either be acting as (i) a business acting on its own account; or (b) in a self-employed capacity. The Contractor can elect, on a job-by-job basis, whether it wishes to provide services offered to it by Zuno.
(5) Zuno and the Contractor each recognise the highly regulated nature of the Services to be provided and the Contractor has represented to Zuno that it has (and that any Nominated Personnel used by it to perform the Services, have) the necessary qualifications, experience and abilities to provide the Services.
(6) The Contractor and Zuno have agreed that the Contractor shall provide such services at its own risk, either as a business acting on its own account (on a subcontract basis) or on a self-employed (sub-contract basis) on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.

2. Services
2.1 All Job Cards will be governed by the terms of this Agreement and each Job Card shall be part of this
Agreement and shall not form a separate contract to it.
2.2. From the Effective Date the Contractor agrees to provide the Services either directly or through a
Nominated Personnel in accordance with any Job Card which the Contractor accepts. The Contractor
acknowledges that Zuno is not obliged to provide the Contractor with a minimum volume of (or any) Job
Cards and is therefore not providing the Contractor with any assurances as to the level of work that it may receive. Equally, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing the Contractor from being engaged, concerned or otherwise having any other financial interest in any other business.
2.3. Zuno acknowledges that the Contractor works on its own account and therefore is not obliged to
accept any (or a minimum number of) Initial Job Details (and will not suffer any detriment or penalty for
turning down offers of work). If the Contractor declines an Initial Job Detail (for example, due to the location of the work or the nature of the services specified in the Initial Job Details) but wishes to be considered for other Zuno work on that date, it should liaise directly with Zuno to ensure that Zuno is aware of this.
2.4. The Contractor will be solely responsible for providing and managing Nominated Personnel to provide
the Services and is permitted to provide the Services through Nominated Personnel. It is acknowledged and agreed that ensuring compliance with all applicable Regulatory Requirements is of the utmost importance in the provision of the Services and the Contractor therefore agrees to ensure that it, and all Nominated Personnel hold all necessary qualifications, licences and permissions to ensure compliance with all applicable Regulatory Requirements.
2.5. Each Party acknowledges that the Contractor is an expert in its field and shall have autonomy over its
working methods based on the Contractor's skills and experience subject always to the Contractor
complying with the applicable Regulatory Requirements.
2.6. The Contractor is permitted to send as a substitute any Nominated Personnel, provided that any
proposed substitute possesses the necessary skills and qualifications for the satisfactory completion of the Services including holding all necessary qualifications, licences and permissions to comply with the
applicable Regulatory Requirements and has been approved by Zuno via the Zuno App. The Contractor
acknowledges that it is necessary for Zuno to approve all Nominated Personnel given the nature of the
Services and to ensure that it can monitor compliance with Regulatory Requirements. Zuno will approve an individual as a Nominated Personnel via the Zuno App if the individual possesses the necessary skills and qualifications, licences and permissions to comply with the applicable Regulatory Requirements. The
Contractor will remain responsible for the Services completed by substitute Nominated Personnel and will
bear any costs incurred by Zuno associated with Services carried out by the Nominated Personnel. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Contractor sends as a substitute a Nominated Personnel, the
Contractor is responsible for invoicing Zuno pursuant to Clause 4.1 and any Fees payable pursuant to
Clause 4.1 below will be payable by Zuno to the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for the
remuneration of the Nominated Personnel in all circumstances.
2.7. Zuno will agree with end customers the date that the Services are to be carried out and offer to its
contractors the Initial Job Details. If the Contractor accepts the Initial Job Details (including the date the
Services are to be carried out), provided that another contractor has not accepted the Initial Job Details
beforehand, the Contractor will be allocated the Job Card via the Zuno App. If the Initial Job Details identify a location which will involve the Contractor travelling outside of the geographical area where they usually work, the Contractor will notify Zuno and Zuno and the Contractor will discuss and agree any appropriate additional fees with respect to any such Services. To help to ensure the efficient allocation of Initial Job Details and Job Cards, the Contractor is responsible for keeping its calendar up to date and for only accepting Initial Job Details that either it, or a substitute Nominated Personnel is able to complete. If, having accepted the Initial Job Details and been provided with the Job Card, the Contractor reasonably expects that it will not be able to provide the Services (either itself or via Nominated Personnel) or that the provision of the Services may be delayed, the Contractor shall promptly notify Zuno and Zuno may, as a result, terminate the Job Card (without penalty to the Contractor). The Contractor is only permitted to appoint Nominated Personnel to carry out the Services for any Job Card in its place. The Contractor is not permitted to contact the end customer directly to notify the end customer that it will not be able to provide the Services or that the provision of the Services may be delayed. These communications will be dealt with by Zuno to ensure consistency in how customers are managed.
2.8. The Contractor will and shall procure that its Nominated Personnel will:
2.8.1. comply with all Regulatory Requirements and any relevant manufacturer instructions;
2.8.2. comply with all reasonable rules, regulations and other working practices applicable from time to time at the Location including all health and safety rules and security requirements from time to time in force, insofar as they are applicable to independent contractors;
2.8.3. utilising the experience of the Contractor and any Nominated Personnel (as relevant), perform the
Services with the highest level of care, skill and diligence;
2.8.4. not take any action or omit to take any action which would have the effect of damaging the reputation of Zuno and its affiliates.
2.8.5. complete all documentation via the Zuno App, including any documentation relating to the Nominated Personnel, and submit all such documentation in a timely manner;
2.8.6. ensure that all Services are fit for purpose and carry out appropriate testing before leaving the
Location to ensure that the Services and/or any goods installed, repaired or maintained by the Contractor
are fully functional;
2.8.7. cooperate with Zuno in all matters relating to the Services;
2.8.8. obtain and at all times, maintain during the Term of this Agreement, all necessary licences, consents
and permits as required by the applicable Regulatory Requirements and comply with all applicable laws in
relation to the Services and provide evidence of such licences, consents and permits to Zuno at Zuno’s
reasonable request;
2.8.9. not do or omit to do anything which may cause Zuno to lose any licence, authority, consent or
permission on which it relies for the purposes of conducting its business.
2.9. If a situation occurs whilst the Contractor or its Nominated Personnel are at the Location that may
require a change to the Services (for example, the Services which need to be provided are different or
require adjustments to the description set out in the Job Card or require the Contractor to provide additional materials beyond those originally envisaged when the Contractor agreed to provide the Services), the Contractor will contact Zuno by telephone whilst at the Location to confirm any necessary changes, including agreeing any changes to the Fees payable to the Contractor.
2.10. The relationship of the Contractor (and any Nominated Personnel) to Zuno will be that of
non-exclusive, self-employed independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement shall render it (or the Nominated Personnel) an employee, worker, agent or partner of Zuno and the Contractor shall not hold itself out as such and shall ensure that the Nominated Personnel do not hold themselves out as such.
2.11. It is not intended for there to be any mutuality of obligations between Zuno and the Contractor either
during the Agreement or upon termination of the same. Zuno is under no obligation to offer Initial Job Cards and/or Job Cards to the Contractor and if it does make any such offer, the Contractor is not obliged to accept any jobs offered to it through the Zuno App.
2.12. This Agreement constitutes a contract for the provision of services whereby the Contractor provides
services on an independent sub-contract basis and is not a contract of employment or a worker contract
and accordingly the Contractor shall be fully responsible for and shall indemnify Zuno and shall keep Zuno
fully and effectively indemnified from and against:
2.12.1. any income tax, national insurance and social security contributions and any other liability,
deduction, contribution, assessment or claim arising from or made in connection with either the
performance of the Services or any payment or benefit received by the Contractor and Nominated
Personnel in respect of the Services, where such recovery is not prohibited by law. The Contractor shall
further indemnify Zuno against all reasonable costs, expenses and any penalty, fine or interest incurred or
payable by Zuno in connection with or in consequence of any such liability, deduction, contribution,
assessment or claim; and
2.12.2. any liability arising from any employment-related claim or any claim based on worker status
(including reasonable costs and expenses) brought by the Nominated Personnel against Zuno arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services.
2.13. Zuno may at its option satisfy such indemnity (in whole or in part) by way of deduction from payments due to the Contractor and/or any Nominated Personnel.
3. Acceptance
3.1 Upon completing the Services required under a Job Card and to facilitate payment of the Fees, the
Contractor shall submit to Zuno via the Zuno App photographic evidence of the completed Services and
such other documentation as specified by Zuno in such form so as to enable Zuno to carry out a review of
the images and documentation to ensure compliance with Regulatory Requirements.
3.2. Unless a different timescale for auditing and acceptance is specified in a Job Card, Zuno shall
commence the review of the images and customer service survey within fourteen (14) calendar days
following its receipt of the images and documentation.
3.3. Upon completing its review, Zuno shall notify the Contractor in writing whether the Services are
accepted or rejected. The Services will be deemed to be accepted if they are not expressly rejected in
writing by Zuno within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by Zuno of the images.
3.4. If Zuno rejects the Services pursuant to Clause 3.3 above, it shall notify the Contractor and give the
Contractor the opportunity to return to the Location to correct any deficiencies or non-conformities. The
Contractor shall liaise with Zuno to arrange a date to return to the Location to remedy the deficiencies as
promptly as possible but no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the notice given pursuant to
Clause 3.3 above. All such remedial actions by the Contractor shall be the Contractor's responsibility and
shall be at the Contractor's cost.
3.5. The Contractor acknowledges that there may be circumstances where it is not appropriate for the
Contractor or the Nominated Personnel to return to the Location to remedy the defect, for example, due to the specific nature of a customer complaint. In such circumstances, Zuno will notify the Contractor and will arrange for an alternative contractor to attend the Location to remedy the defect. Such remedial actions shall be at the Contractor's cost and Zuno will be entitled to deduct from the Fees due to the Contractor the amounts paid by Zuno to such alternative contractor.
3.6. Where Zuno has accepted the Services relating to a Job Card and a problem or deficiency with the
Services is identified at a later date up to 13 months following the Completion Date, Zuno shall notify the
Contractor and discuss with the Contractor whether the Contractor wishes to remedy such deficiency (at its own cost). If the Contractor does not wish to return to remedy the deficiency or is unable to do so within the timescales required by the end Customer or if the nature of the customer complaint means that it is not appropriate for the Contractor or the Nominated Personnel to return to the Location to remedy the deficiency, Zuno reserves the right to resolve any such problems with the end Customer in such manner as it considers appropriate and to seek reimbursement from the Contractor in relation to all liabilities incurred in relation to those Services.
4. Invoices and Payment
4.1 Following the acceptance of the delivery of Services under Clause 3.3, in order to ensure efficiencies for both Zuno and the Contractor, Zuno shall create invoices for the Contractor (or their Nominated Personnel) on a weekly basis as set out in the self-billing agreement and send copies of these to the email address held by it for the Contractor. Subject to Clause 4.2, the Fees payable are set out in the Approved Contractor Schedule of Rates and payment of Fees is made in accordance with the Payment Terms. Each invoice shall specifically refer to the Job Card to which it relates.
4.2. It is recognised that there may be circumstances where the nature of the Services in a Job Card change (as contemplated by Clause 2.9) or where the Location is outside of the geographical area where the Contractor usually carries out its business (as contemplated by Clause 2.7). In these circumstances, the Contractor shall notify Zuno and Zuno and the Contractor shall agree to any additional fees payable by Zuno for those Services.
4.3. Any Contractor queries regarding invoices emailed to them should be addressed to
installersupport@zuno.tech.
4.4. Zuno shall pay each such invoice upon the later of: a) within thirty (30) calendar days of it being

that such invoice or part of invoice relates to any Service that has not been accepted by Zuno.
4.5. In addition to the Fees, Zuno shall, if the Contractor or its Nominated Personnel is legally required to

Fees become due and subject to being documented on the VAT invoice produced.
4.6. Zuno shall be entitled to deduct and/or set off from the Fees (and any other sums) due to the Contractor any sums that the Contractor may owe to Zuno at any time including but not limited to in relation to Clauses 3.5 and 3.6.

5.1.3. It and its Nominated Personnel are experienced in the Services and the Contractor acknowledges that Zuno is relying on such experience when offering the Contractor the opportunity to carry out the Services.
