The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Supplier may engage third party sub Processors in connection with the Processing of such Personal Data and in order to meet its obligations under the Agreement from time to time. In such circumstances the Customer hereby authorizes the Supplier to engage with such third party sub Processors and in respect of the Supplier’s use of sub Processors the Supplier shall inform the Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other sub Processors, thereby giving the Customer the opportunity to object to such changes. The Supplier confirms that it has entered or (as the case may be) will enter with the sub Processor into a written agreement incorporating terms which are substantially similar to those set out in this Paragraph 5. As between the Supplier and the Customer, the Supplier shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any sub Processor appointed by it pursuant to this Paragraph 5b.If the Supplier appoints sub Processors who process Personal Data outside the EEA, the Supplier shall notify the Customer of such sub Processors and the jurisdiction in which Personal Data shall be processed and the paragraph above shall apply in respect of any objection by the Customer.
Where the Customer provides Personal Data to the Supplier, the Customer shall ensure that any disclosure of Personal Data made by it to the Supplier is made with the Data Subject’s consent or is otherwise lawful and any instructions given to the Supplier by the Customer are lawful.The Customer acknowledges that the Supplier is reliant on the Customer for direction as to the extent to which the Supplier is entitled to use and process the Personal Data. Consequently, the Supplier will not be liable for any claim brought by a Data Subject arising from any action or omission by the Supplier, to the extent that such action or omission resulted directly from the Customer’s instructions.

On or before the earlier of the Effective Date or the Service Start Date, Customer acknowledges and agrees that an Authorised representative of Customer has evaluated the features and functionality of the Services in a means satisfactory to Customer and accepts that the Services have been demonstrably shown to have all of the features and functionality that have been represented to Customer.

Customer shall pay Supplier all Charges confirmed in the Order Form (or as otherwise amended in accordance with these Terms) upon receipt of invoice (unless otherwise stated on the Order Form). The Supplier and the Customer may agree to more favourable payment terms, but the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Supplier shall be entitled to charge the Customer a premium in such circumstances.Except for as otherwise set out in this Agreement, all payments to Supplier are non-refundable and non-cancellable. Specifically, Customer’s loss of business, loss of Services due to non-payment, or Customer’s failure to use the Services will not be cause for any refund to Customer from Supplier. Customer shall reimburse Supplier for Supplier’s collection costs incurred in attempting to collect any overdue payments, including reasonable legal fees.

If Supplier has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this paragraph, Supplier will add such Taxes to the amount invoiced to Customer.
Pricing is determined by a number of factors, including User Count, Order Volume, SKU Count, Customizations, Support Services, and other similar factors. Supplier may, from time to time, audit Customer’s account (as specified on the Order Form) without any notice to Customer to ensure compliance with agreed-upon terms and pricing. Supplier will give Customer at least ten (10) days advance notice of any such audit that Supplier expects may interfere with Customer’s normal operations. Suppliers will take reasonable precautions to ensure that there is minimal interference with Customer’s daily business as a result of the audit. Such audit will be at Supplier’s expense; however, if any such audit should disclose any underpayment by Customer, Customer shall immediately pay Supplier such underpaid amount, together with interest thereon at the rate for the usage discovered by Supplier, and Customer shall also pay Supplier for Supplier’s expenses associated with such audit.
Charges under this Agreement are based on information shared by Customer to Supplier. The Supplier may be required to adjust the Charges as necessary in the event of any change in product, project scope, increase in User Count, Order Volume, SKU Count, or misrepresentation of facts by Customer. At its discretion, the Supplier reserves the right to adjust the basis and the rate of Charges, including by removing any discounts provided.In the event of a change to the Charges based on misrepresentation of facts by Customer, Supplier reserves the right to suspend Customer access to the Services until a remedy can be found between parties.

Interest under this clause will accrue each day at the statutory interest rate under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
The Customer acknowledges that the continued payment for Services and Software does not mean that the Supplier undertakes or promises to provide any future functionality or new features.
During the Term, Supplier shall indemnify Customer against a final award of damages resulting from a claim that the Services infringe any Intellectual Property Rights.

This paragraph states Supplier’s sole and exclusive liability and Customer’s sole remedies for any threatened or actual infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights.During the Term, Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Supplier and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, losses, costs, or expenses of any kind, including reasonable legal fees, costs and expert witness fees, suffered or incurred by the Supplier and arising out of or in connection with any breach by the Customer of Paragraph 4a; (b) Customer’s misuse of the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party; and (c) any Customer Content which violates the terms of this Agreement.In relation to the indemnities given within this Agreement, the applicable indemnified party shall:
