Services

The Supplier shall, during the Subscription Term, provide the Services and make available the Documentation to the Customer on and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

The Supplier shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to make the Services available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except for:

The Supplier may amend the Support Services Policy in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time. The Customer may purchase enhanced support services separately at the Supplier's then current rates.

Customer Data and Data Protection

The Customer shall own all right, title and interest in and to all of the Customer Data and shall have sole responsibility for the legality, reliability, integrity, accuracy and quality of the Customer Data.

The Supplier shall follow its archiving procedures for Customer Data as set out in its Back-Up Policy available at Schedule 4, as such document may be amended by the Supplier in its sole discretion from time to time. In the event of any loss or damage to Customer Data, the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be for the Supplier to use reasonable commercial endeavours to restore the lost or damaged Customer Data from the latest back-up of such Customer Data maintained by the Supplier in accordance with the archiving procedure described in its Back-Up Policy.

Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. This clause 5 is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party's obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.

The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, the Customer is the data controller and the Supplier is the data processor (where Data Controller and Data Processor have the meanings as defined in the Data Protection Legislation). Schedule 3 sets out the scope, nature and purpose of processing by the Supplier, the duration of the processing and the types of personal data (as defined by Data Protection Legislation) and categories of data subject (as defined by Data Protection Legislation).

Without prejudice to the generality of clause 5.5, the Customer will ensure that it has all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the Customer Data to the Supplier for the duration and purposes of this agreement.

Without prejudice to the generality of clause 5.5, the Supplier shall, in relation to any Customer Data processed in connection with the performance by the Supplier of its obligations under this agreement:

process that Customer Data only on the written instructions of the Customer unless the Supplier is required by the laws of any member of the European Union or by the laws of the European Union applicable to the Supplier to process Customer Data ( Applicable Laws). Where the Supplier is relying on laws of a member of the European Union or European Union law as the basis for processing Customer Data, the Supplier shall promptly notify the Customer of this before performing the processing required by the Applicable Laws unless those Applicable Laws prohibit the Supplier from so notifying the Customer;

ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures, reviewed and approved by the Customer, to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of Customer Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Customer Data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting Customer Data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to Customer Data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it);

ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process Customer Data are obliged to keep the Customer Data confidential; and

not transfer any Customer Data outside of the European Economic Area unless the prior written consent of the Customer has been obtained and the following conditions are fulfilled:

  1. the Customer or the Supplier has provided appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer;
  2. the data subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies;
  3. the Supplier complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation by providing an adequate level of protection to any Customer Data that is transferred; and
  4. the Supplier complies with reasonable instructions notified to it in advance by the Customer with respect to the processing of the Customer Data;

assist the Customer, at the Customer's cost, in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators;

notify the Customer without undue delay on becoming aware of a Customer Data breach;

at the written direction of the Customer, delete or return Customer Data and copies thereof to the Customer on termination of the agreement unless required by Applicable Law to store the Customer Data; and

maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this clause 5.

The Customer consents to the Supplier appointing the third party processors as detailed at paragraph 4 of Schedule 3 as third party processors of Customer Data under this agreement. The Supplier confirms that it has entered or (as the case may be) will enter with the third-party processor into a written agreement substantially on that third party's standard terms of business. As between the Customer and the Supplier, the Supplier shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third-party processor appointed by it pursuant to this clause 5.8.

Either party may, at any time on not less than 30 days’ notice, revise this clause 5 by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms forming party of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this agreement).

Third Party Providers

The Customer acknowledges that the Services may enable or assist it to access the website content of, correspond with, and purchase products and services from, third parties via third-party websites and that it does so solely at its own risk. The Supplier makes no representation, warranty or commitment and shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content or use of, or correspondence with, any such third-party website, or any transactions completed, and any contract entered into by the Customer, with any such third party. Any contract entered into and any transaction completed via any third-party website is between the Customer and the relevant third party, and not the Supplier. The Supplier recommends that the Customer refers to the third party's website terms and conditions and privacy policy prior to using the relevant third-party website. The Supplier does not endorse or approve any third-party website nor the content of any of the third-party website made available via the Services.

Supplier's Obligations

The Supplier undertakes that the Services will be performed substantially in accordance with the Documentation and with reasonable skill and care.

The undertaking at clause 7.1 shall not apply to the extent of any non-conformance which is caused by use of the Services contrary to the Supplier's instructions, or modification or alteration of the Services by any party other than the Supplier or the Supplier's duly authorised contractors or agents.

If the Services do not conform with the undertaking at clause 7.1, the Supplier will, at its expense, use all reasonable commercial endeavours to correct any such non-conformance promptly, or provide the Customer with an alternative means of accomplishing the desired performance.

does not warrant that the Customer's use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free; or that the Services, Documentation and/or the information obtained by the Customer through the Services will meet the Customer's requirements; and
