Where Civica is able without liability to defer such orders for Products it will do so. 12.7 Civica may increase its Charges in line with the then current prices of Civica and its suppliers, as follows: 12.7.1 except for third party costs, the percentage increase may be applied not more than once per year or as otherwise agreed in Schedule 2 and shall not exceed the percentage annual increase (if any) of the United Kingdom rate of the retail prices index as published by the Office for National Statistics; and 12.7.2 in respect of third party costs over which Civica has no control (for example energy; Microsoft licensing; CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme; charges) the percentage increase shall match the increase applied by the third party, as detailed in Clause 12.8. 12.8 Civica may increase the charges at any time to take into account third party costs, over which Civica has no control (for example energy; Microsoft licensing; CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme; charges) and apply the increase to the charges to match the increase applied by such third party, in respect of that element of the charges. Civica may not apply such increase retrospectively and will not pass on such increase to Customer where the increase is less than 3% of the third party element. On request Civica shall provide evidence of such increase applied by the third party. 12.9 Unless specifically shown as inclusive of expenses in Schedule 2, all prices referred to in this Contract are exclusive of transport, travel, subsistence or out of pocket expenses incurred by Civica in carrying out the Services. Such reasonable expenses will be charged to Customer in accordance with Civica’s expenses policy. 12.10 Where the Customer requires a purchase order to be raised in order to facilitate payment of invoices, the Customer agrees to raise such purchase order in a timely fashion so as not to delay payment of Civica invoices in accordance with this Clause 12.10 Notwithstanding this, the Customer agrees that any failure to raise a purchase order does not prevent Civica from raising invoices and any delay or lack of a purchase order does not relieve the Customer from paying valid invoices. Civica reserves the right (in addition to any other remedies which may be available to it) to charge an administrative fee on overdue amounts on a daily basis from the original due date at the rate of £500 per day, the Customer agrees that such administrative fee is a genuine pre-estimate of the cost and loss suffered by Civica for late payment of invoices. 12.11 If the use of the Software or Products or Services exceeds the usage restrictions shown in Schedule 1 at any time Civica may charge Customer the additional usage fees retrospectively and increase the applicable Charges to take into account the additional usage. 13. Limits of Liability 13.1 Neither party excludes or limits liability to the other party for: 13.1.1 death or personal injury arising from its negligence; or 13.1.2 any breach of any obligations implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979; or 13.1.3 fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; to the extent such limitation or exclusion is unlawful. 13.2 Each party's liability to the other in respect of any loss of, or damage to, physical property of the other whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise arising from, or in connection with, this Contract shall be limited to £1,000,000 in the aggregate. 13.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, but subject to Clause 13.1 neither Civica nor Customer shall be liable to the other for any of the following (whether or not the party being claimed against was advised of, or knew of, the possibility of such losses) whether arising from negligence, breach of contract or otherwise: 13.3.1 loss of profits, loss of business, loss of revenue, loss of contract, loss of goodwill, loss of anticipated earnings or savings (whether any of the foregoing are direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage); or 13.3.2 loss of use or value of any data or equipment including software, wasted management, operation or other time (whether any of the foregoing are direct, indirect or consequential); or 13.3.3 any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage; or 13.3.4 the poor performance, or lack of connectivity, or lack of availability of the Internet or telecommunications or hardware; 13.3.5 loss or damage to the other party's or any third party’s data or records. 13.4 Except where liability arises under Clauses 13.1 or 13.2 and subject to Clause 13.3 Civica’s total aggregate liability in or for breach of contract, negligence (as defined in Section 1(1) Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), misrepresentation (excluding fraudulent misrepresentation), tortious claim (including breach of statutory duty), restitution or any other cause of action whatsoever relating to or arising under or in connection with this Contract (including performance, non-performance or partial performance), and including liability expressly provided for under this Contract shall not exceed 125% of the price paid or payable for the Services during the 12 months preceding the date on which the claim arose. 13.5 Except as expressly provided otherwise by these terms and conditions or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the parties, all other representations, conditions, warranties and other terms are excluded (including any statutory implied terms as to satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose and conformance with description) save to the extent that the same are not capable of exclusion at law. 13.6 Notwithstanding Clause 4.2.5 Civica shall have no liability or obligations to Customer’s outsource provider (if any). 14. Corruption 14.1 Civica shall not: 14.1.1 offer, give or agree to give to any person working for or engaged by Customer any fee, gift, reward or other consideration of any kind, which could act as an inducement or a reward for any act or failure to act connected to this Contract, or any other agreement between Civica and Customer including its award to Civica and any of the rights and obligations contained within it; nor 14.1.2 offer, give or agree to give any fee, gift, reward or other consideration to any person the receipt of which is an offence under Sub-section (3) of Section 117 of the Local Government Act 1972; nor 14.1.3 enter into this Contract if it has knowledge that, in connection with it, any money has been, or will be, paid to any person working for or engaged by Customer by or for Civica, or that an agreement has been reached to that effect, unless details of any such arrangement have been disclosed in writing to Customer before signing this Contract. 14.2 If Civica (including any Civica employee or agent, in all cases whether or not acting with Civica's knowledge) breaches Clause 14.1, or the Prevention of Corruption Acts 1889 to 1916, or the Bribery Act 2010 in relation to this Contract or any other contract with Customer, Customer may terminate this Contract by written notice with immediate effect and to recover from Civica the amount of any loss resulting from such cancellation. 14.3 Any termination under Clause 14.2 shall be without prejudice to any right or remedy that has already accrued, or subsequently accrues, to Customer. 15.

Notices 20.1 Any notice or other communication required to be given to a party under or in connection with this Contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the other party personally or sent by prepaid first-class post or by commercial courier, at its registered office (if a company) or (in any other case) its principal place of business.

General 21.1 This Contract constitutes the whole agreement between the parties and supersedes all previous agreements between the parties relating to its subject matter. Each party acknowledges that, in entering into this Contract, it has not relied on, and shall have no right or remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently) other than as expressly set out in this Contract. Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud or for fraudulent misrepresentation. 21.2 Schedule 3 includes a change control procedure. Either party may at any time request a change to this Contract and the Services. No variation of this Contract, including any additional terms and conditions, shall be binding unless it is in writing and signed by each of the parties (or their duly authorised representatives). 21.3 No failure or delay in exercising any remedy or right under this Contract will operate as a waiver of it, nor will any single or partial exercise of it preclude any further exercise or the exercise of any remedy or right under this Contract or otherwise. 21.4 Neither party may assign the benefit of this Contract nor any interest except with the prior written consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), save that Civica may assign this Contract at any time to any member of the Civica group of companies. 21.5 The provisions of this Contract shall be severable in the event that any of its provisions are held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other applicable authority to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, if the severed provision is essential and material to the rights or benefits received by either party, the parties shall use their best efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement which most nearly effects their intent in entering into this Contract. 21.6 The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 is excluded, by the agreement of all the parties to this Contract, from applying to this Contract to the maximum extent permitted by law. No term of this Contract is enforceable by any person who is not a party to it, whether in accordance with such Act or otherwise. This clause shall prevail in the event of any conflict between it and anything else in this Contract. 21.7 Nothing in this Contract is intended to, or shall be deemed to, constitute a partnership or joint venture of any kind between any of the parties, nor constitute any party the agent of another party for any purpose. No party shall have authority to act as agent for, or to bind, the other party in any way. 21.8 Neither party will be liable to the other for any failure or delay or for the consequences of any failure or delay in performance of this Contract, excluding Customer’s obligation to pay the Charges, if it is due to Force Majeure. The party subject to such event shall, as soon as practicable, give notice of the event to the other party, such notice to include a reasonable forecast of the duration of the Force Majeure. If such delay or failure continues for at least 30 days, either party shall be entitled to terminate this Contract in accordance with Clause 16.2.3. 21.9 Until six months after termination of this Contract, neither party will solicit the employment nor services of any senior personnel of the other party who has been engaged in connection with this Contract; solicitation in this context shall not include any personnel responding to open advertisements published. Liquidated damages for breach of this provision will be equal to the gross salary or fees of that person for the first six months of his/her new employment or contract. The parties agree that such sum is a genuine pre-estimate of the costs which the party previously employing or contracting with the individual will incur in finding and training a replacement for that person. 21.10 This Contract and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.
