Basis of Contract

An Order constitutes an offer by You to purchase the Services in accordance with these Conditions.

An Order shall be deemed to be accepted when We issue written acceptance of the Order to You or begin to provide the Services to You.

The Conditions apply to the exclusion of any other terms that You seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, these Conditions shall apply to all future Orders.

We may amend the Conditions from time to time and We shall provide You with notice of such amendments via the Website not less than 7 days prior to such change coming into effect.

Term

Subject to clause 4.2, the Contract will commence on the Commencement Date and continue for the Subscription Term.

Unless terminated by us or You in accordance with clause 13, the Contract will automatically renew on the basis of the terms of the Initial Order and for the same Subscription Term as the Initial Order.

Supply of Services

Subject to compliance with these Conditions, We shall supply the Services to You via the Website and/or API in accordance with the Specification.

The Services will be made available to You as detailed in the Specification and must be used only by You and the Authorised Users.

Subject to clause 5.4, We do not guarantee that the Website or API, or any content on them, will always be available or uninterrupted. We may suspend, withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of the Website or API for business or operational reasons and We will try to provide You with reasonable notice of such suspension, withdrawal or restriction.

We will always do all that we reasonably can to make sure that the Services are continuously available to You without interruption and to conduct maintenance outside of Usual Business Hours but, on occasions, it may be beneficial or necessary to conduct maintenance during Usual Business Hours. We will always try to minimise any disruption to You and to notify You of any planned maintenance that might cause disruption.

Changes to the Services

You are permitted to request a change to the scope of the Services at any point after the first calendar month of the Subscription Term. Any request must be made to us via the Website or in writing.

We will consider any such request to a change to the Services and will confirm to You in writing the outcome of our consideration. If We, in our absolute discretion, accept the request, We will confirm the updated Specification in writing.

We reserves the right to amend the Specification if necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulatory requirement, make business efficiencies, improve (in our opinion) the Services and/or the Website, or if the amendment will not materially affect the nature or quality of the Services, and We shall notify You in any such event.

In the event that We amend the Specification which materially affects the nature and quality of the Services, You will have the option of accepting the amendments to the Specification by continuing to use the Services or to terminate the Contract on notice of our amendments and terminate before expiry of notice in accordance with clause 13.

Price

The price of the Services will be as quoted on the Website at the time You submit the Order or otherwise confirmed in writing in a quote prior to you submitting an Order. The price payable by You under the Contract is plus the variable value added tax (VAT) chargeable from time to time.

In the event that You request an amendment to the scope of the Services in accordance with clause 6.1 and We accept such request, the new price payable for the Services will be confirmed in the updated Specification and such changes in billing will be applied pro-rata and charged at the time the change takes place.

The prices for the Services may change from time to time and We shall provide You with 10 Business Days’ notice in advance of any change. In the event of such change, You will have the option to accept the change in price or terminate the Contract in accordance with clause 13.

In the event that We deem providing the Services to no longer be commercially viable, We may terminate the Contract immediately on notice to You.

Payment

Payment from You to us for the Services is required in advance of You receiving access to the Services via the Website and/or API.

In respect of payment for any Order which will automatically renew under clause 4.3, We shall invoice You in advance of any renewed Order unless stated otherwise in the Specification.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, all invoices are payable on delivery and You shall pay each invoice submitted by us in full and in cleared funds within 30 days of the date of the invoice, time being of the essence.

If You have access to the Services via the Website and/or API and payment for the Services is outstanding, We may suspend access to the Services until You have paid all amounts outstanding.

In addition to a suspension of access to the Services, We may charge You interest on any amount outstanding at the rate of 5% a year above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank plc from time to time. The interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the amount outstanding, whether before or after judgement. You must pay to us the interest together with any amount outstanding.

Due to the fact that the prices for the Services can vary depending on the length of the Subscription Term if the Contract is terminated or access to the Services is suspended for any reason:

  • a) the full payment for the Subscription Term remains due and payable by you; and
  • b) you will not be entitled to a refund of any sums paid in respect of the remaining Subscription Term after termination or suspension.

Use of the Services

You shall:

  • a) cooperate with us in all matters relating to the Services;
  • b) provide us with such information as We may reasonably require in order to supply the Services, and ensure that such information is complete and accurate in all material respects;
  • c) develop, implement and enforce policies and procedures for managing the allocation and use of individual accounts for Authorised Users to access the Services via the Website and/or API;
  • d) use best endeavours to prevent any unauthorised access to, or use of, the Services; and
  • e) promptly notify us, in accordance with clause 15, on becoming aware of any login and/or password to access the Services via the Website or API being known and/or available to a third party and its best efforts (including taking any steps stipulated by us at our sole discretion) to change the password associated with any login which has been compromised.

If We suspect that any unauthorised access to or use of the Services has occurred, or may occur, We will promptly notify You and may take steps to suspend and/or terminate Your access to or use of the Services.

Any abuse or unreasonably frequent requests, as determined by us in our sole discretion, made by You or an Authorised User via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your or Authorised User’s access to the API.

If We at any time suspect that You are not complying with any Conditions, including but not limited to access to or use of the Services, We may suspend and/or terminate the Services and will notify You of such suspension or termination.

Intellectual Property

All Intellectual Property Rights in or arising out of or in connection with the Services shall belong to us.

We grant to You a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence during the term of the Contract to use the Intellectual Property Rights in the Services for the purpose of receiving and using the Services in your business as detailed in the Order. You may not sub-license, assign or otherwise transfer the rights granted in this 10.2 or use the Intellectual Property Rights for any other purpose.

You grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable licence to copy and modify any Intellectual Property Rights provided by You to us for the term of the Contract for the purpose of providing the Services you.

You acknowledge that, in respect of any third party Intellectual Property Rights in the Services, your use of any such Intellectual Property Rights is conditional on us obtaining a written licence from the licensor on such terms as will entitle us to licence such rights to You.

You shall use best endeavours to ensure only You and Authorised Users have access to the Services and the Intellectual Property Rights in the Services by way of password protected login in accounts to the Web Address and API.

For the purposes of clause 11.5.2 You acknowledge and confirm that, at the date of the Contract, You have been provided with sufficient information to consider and have approved our systems and processes for the processing of Personal Data.

You consent to us appointing a number of third party processors of Personal Data under the Contract. A list of the third party processors is available on request.

  • are informed of the confidential nature of the Personal Data and are bound by confidentiality obligations and use restrictions in respect of the Personal Data;
  • have undertaken training on the Data Protection Legislation relating to handling Personal Data and how it applies to their particular duties; and
  • are aware of both our duties and their personal duties and obligations under the Data Protection Legislation and this clause 11.

We will, without undue delay, notify You if We become aware of:

  • the loss, unintended destruction or damage, corruption, or un-usability of part or all of the Personal Data;
  • any accidental, unauthorised or unlawful processing of the Personal Data; or
  • any Personal Data Breach.

We agree that You have the sole right to determine:

  • whether to provide notice of the accidental, unauthorised or unlawful processing and/or the Personal Data Breach to any Authorised User, the Commissioner, other in-scope regulators, law enforcement agencies or others, as required by law or regulation or in Authorised User’s including the contents and delivery method of the notice; and

If a change in any Data Protection Legislation prevents either party from fulfilling all or part of its obligations, the parties may agree to suspend the processing of the Personal Data until that processing complies with the new requirements. If the parties are unable to bring the Personal Data processing into compliance with the Data Protection Legislation within 60 days, either party may terminate their engagement on not less than 20 Business Days on written notice to the other party.

At Your request, We will give You, or a third party nominated in writing, a copy of or access to all or part of the Personal Data in its possession or control in the format and on the media reasonably specified by You.

On termination of their engagement for any reason, We may securely delete or destroy or, if directed in writing by You, return and not retain, all or any of the Personal Data related to Your engagement in our possession or control.

If any law, regulation, or government or regulatory body requires us to retain any documents or materials or Personal Data that We would otherwise be required to return or destroy, We will notify You in writing of that retention requirement, giving details of the documents, materials or Personal Data that it must retain, the legal basis for retention, and establishing a specific timeline for deletion or destruction once the retention requirement ends.

We will certify in writing to You that We have destroyed the Personal Data within 10 Business Days after We complete the deletion or destruction.
