| Tomtom Go Live Top Gear |
Well, this looks embarrassing. The Top Gear-Tomtom collaboration resulted BBC violated its contract. It's too late now. About 54,000 Tomtom Go Live Top Gear limited edition models were made and shipped through stores days before BBC revealed their biggest mistake.
What's the biggest mistake? They violated something from the contract. It's Section 15, Article 4, Paragraph 7. It says that “Those working on consumer programs must take particular care not to endorse any product or service which could be covered in the programs on which they work and they should have no commercial or other links which could appear to influence their BBC work”.
As of now, Tomtom ceases production of the Tomtom Go Live Top Gear limited edition navigation systems and it no longer allow Tomtom users to download the "Jeremy Clarkson Voice Pack". The proceeds from these sales will go to BBC's Children in Need and a charitable donation to Tomtom.
