The Licensor does not warrant that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.


  1. Limitation of Liability and Indemnity


    1. The following provisions set out the entire liability of the Licensor (including any liability for the acts or omissions of its employees, agents and sub-contractors) to the Licensee in respect of:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause, the Licensor will not be liable for any settlements or similar payments made by the Licensee without Licensor’s prior written authorisation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Licensor shall have no obligation for any such Claim to the extent such Claim arises out of or is related to (a) the unauthorised modification of the Software by any person or entity other than the Licensor; or (b) the combination of the Software with any hardware, firmware, or software not supplied, specified or authorized by the Licensor. In addition, the Licensor will have no obligation hereunder for any such Claim to the extent that such Claim may have been reasonably avoided but for the Licensee’s breach of this Licence or Licensee’s misconduct or wrongful or negligent acts.

Licensee shall (a) give the Licensor notice of the relevant Claim within 5 business days of receiving notification of the Claim (provided that failure to notify Licensor within such period will not relieve Licensor from any of its obligations under this clause except and only to the extent that Licensor is materially prejudiced by such delay); (b) cooperate with the Licensor in the defense of such Claim; and (c) give the Licensor (as applicable) the right to control the defence and settlement of any such Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may join in the defence of a Claim with its own counsel at its own expense. The Licensee shall not make any attempt or agree to settle the Claim without the prior written consent of the Licensor (as applicable).


    1. Licensee hereby undertakes to indemnify and hold the Licensor harmless, on demand, from any and all claims, actions, costs (including reasonable legal costs) damages, demands or expenses brought against, suffered or incurred by the Licensor as a result of any breach, or non-observance by the Licensee of any of the Licensee’s agreements, obligations, representations, undertakings or warranties in this Licence.


    1. The indemnifying Party shall have control over the defence of the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss or damage it may suffer.


  1. Intellectual Property Rights

    1. Licensee shall not do or authorise any third party to do any act which would or might invalidate or be inconsistent with any Intellectual Property Rights of Licensor with respect to the Software, the Documentation or the Trade Marks, and shall not omit or authorise any third party to omit to do any act which, by its omission, would have that effect or character.


    1. Licensor makes no representation or warranty with respect to non-infringement or as to the validity or enforceability of the Intellectual Property Rights in the Software, Documentation and the Trade Marks.


    1. Licensee shall not (i) use any of the Trade Marks in any way which might prejudice their distinctiveness or validity or the goodwill of Licensor therein; (ii) use in relation to the Software any trademarks other than the Trade Marks without obtaining the prior written consent of Licensor; or (iii) use any trademarks or trade names so resembling any Trade Mark or trade names of Licensor as to be likely to cause confusion or deception.


  1. Term and Termination


    1. This Licence shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for the Licence Period.


    1. The Licensor shall be entitled to terminate this Licence by providing notice in writing to the Licensee if the Licensee commits a material breach of this Licence and such breach is not cured within 15 days of written notice from the Licensor or if the Licensee becomes insolvent, is unable to pay its debts as and when they fall due, or has a liquidator, receiver, administrator or administrative receiver appointed or any other similar event.


    1. Upon termination of this Licence, if so required by the Licensor the Licensee shall return the Software and the Documentation and all copies thereof to the Licensor or, at the option of the Licensor, shall destroy the same and certify to the Licensor that they have been so destroyed.

Schedule 1 and the Licensor’s privacy policy sets out the terms upon which we process personal data. All servers upon which your data will be stored will be located within the European Union unless otherwise specified in the Commercial Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is intended that the Licensor will not be a data processor but will simply provide the software platform and dashboard to enable the Licensee to control and process its own Licensee Personal Data as the term is defined in Schedule 1.


9.2 Notwithstanding clause 9.1 and Schedule 1 to this Licence, to the extent possible when using the Software the Licensee shall only use anonymized personal data when using the Software.

This Licence may be modified, terminated or extended and the terms or covenants waived only by written instrument signed by both Parties.


  1. Assignment

  1. Force Majeure


Neither Party shall be liable for any delay in performing any of its obligations hereunder (other than the payment of amounts owed to the Licensor by Licensee under the terms of this Licence), if such delay is caused by an event that is unforeseeable and circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Party so delayed, and cannot be remedied by the exercise of reasonable diligence. Any Party impacted by a force majeure event shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for the performance of such obligations, provided that such Party promptly notifies the other Party of such event, keeps the non-affected Party notified of the anticipated impact on and delay with respect to its performance, and makes reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of such force majeure event.


  1. Entire Agreement


In entering into this Licence, the Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied on any statement, warranty, representation or undertaking save as expressly set out in this Agreement (save that neither Party seeks to exclude liability for any fraudulent pre-contractual misrepresentation upon which the other Party can be shown to have relied).


  1. Waiver


No forbearance, delay or indulgence by either Party in enforcing the provisions of this Licence shall prejudice or restrict the rights of that Party nor shall any waiver of its rights operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach and no right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved for either Party is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy available to that Party and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative.

Executed signature pages of this Agreement transmitted electronically either as Tagged Image Format Files (TIFF) or in Portable Document Format (PDF) shall be treated as originals, fully binding and with full legal force and effect, and the Parties waive any rights they may have to object to such treatment, provided that this treatment shall be without prejudice to the obligation of the Parties to exchange original counterparts as quickly as practicable after execution of this Agreement.


19. Anti-Bribery and Modern Slavery
