Inspector Services Agreement

Version 1.0 · Effective date: 5 July 2026 · Applies to: all persons registered as independent inspectors on the AutoInspect UK network.

1. Nature of Relationship

You are engaged by AutoInspect UK Ltd (“AutoInspect UK”, “we”, “us”) as an independent self-employed contractor. This agreement does not create a contract of employment, a worker relationship, or any form of partnership or agency.

You are not an employee. AutoInspect UK is not responsible for your income tax, National Insurance contributions, pension, holiday pay, sick pay, or any employment benefits. You are solely responsible for:

• Registering as self-employed with HMRC if you have not already done so
• Filing your own Self Assessment tax returns and paying income tax and Class 2/4 NICs
• Maintaining a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number
• Any expenses incurred in carrying out inspections (travel, equipment, etc.)

You retain the right to work for other clients, provided this does not conflict with the confidentiality obligations in Section 6. AutoInspect UK does not guarantee a minimum number of jobs per week or month.

2. Services

You agree to carry out pre-purchase vehicle inspections on behalf of AutoInspect UK customers. Each inspection involves:

• Physically attending the seller’s location at the agreed date and time
• Conducting a thorough inspection of the vehicle in accordance with the applicable package checklist (Essential: 101+ points, Premium: 220+ points, Elite: 240+ points)
• Completing the AutoInspect UK digital inspection form accurately and honestly
• Uploading photographic evidence as required
• Submitting a truthful verdict and professional assessment

You must not: carry out inspections you are not qualified to conduct; submit reports for inspections you did not personally carry out; alter or fabricate findings.

3. Pay Rates & Payment

Pay rates are confirmed in your onboarding letter and vary by package:

Payment is made weekly every Friday for all inspections completed and approved during that week. Payment is made by bank transfer to the account details you provided during onboarding.

Payment is conditional on: (a) the inspection report being submitted fully and accurately; (b) the report being approved by an AutoInspect UK administrator; (c) no outstanding disputes regarding the inspection. AutoInspect UK reserves the right to withhold payment in cases of fraud, misconduct, or breach of this agreement pending investigation.

4. Acceptance Window & Job Obligations

When a job is offered to you via email or WhatsApp, you have 15 minutes to accept. If you do not accept within this window, the job will be offered to the next available inspector. Repeated non-response may result in suspension from the network.

Once you accept a job, you are committed to attending at the agreed time and location. If you must cancel after accepting:

• Notify AutoInspect UK immediately via email at support@autoinspectuk.co.uk
• Cancellations with less than 2 hours’ notice without valid reason may result in a formal warning
• Three or more short-notice cancellations in any 30-day period may result in suspension or removal

• Complete inspection forms to the standard set out in AutoInspect UK training materials
• Respond to quality queries from the admin team within 24 hours
• Carry and use appropriate tools including, but not limited to, an OBD2 scanner and paint depth meter for Premium and Elite packages

This confidentiality obligation survives termination of this agreement indefinitely.

• Provide proof of valid insurance during onboarding
• Provide updated proof upon renewal (annually or as required)
• Notify AutoInspect UK immediately if your insurance lapses for any reason

Failure to maintain valid insurance will result in immediate suspension from the network until valid insurance is confirmed. AutoInspect UK accepts no liability for incidents arising from your work if you do not hold valid insurance.
