Definitions and Interpretation

The definitions and rules of Interpretation that apply to these Terms are set out in clause 13.

Basis of contract

The Order constitutes an offer by You to purchase the Services in accordance with these Terms.

The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when We issue a written acceptance of the Order at which point and on which date the Contract shall come into existence (Commencement Date).

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

The Quotation shall not constitute an offer, and is only valid for a period of 30 days from its date of issue after which it is deemed withdrawn unless agreed otherwise by Us in writing.

Supply of Services

We shall supply the Services to You in accordance with the description and on the additional terms set out in the Quotation (as amended under the change control provisions in clause 6) and any terms in the Quotation shall form part of these Terms.

We shall use reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates specified in the Quotation, but any such dates shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for performance of the Services.

We reserve the right to amend the scope of the Services if necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or if the amendment will not materially affect the nature or quality of the Services, and We shall notify You of any such amendment.

We warrant to You that the Services will be provided using reasonable care and skill.

Your obligations

You shall:

  • ensure that the description of the Services in the Quotation are complete and accurate as at the date of the Contract;
  • promptly co-operate with Us in all matters relating to the Services;
  • promptly provide Us with such information and materials as We may reasonably require in order to supply the Services, and ensure that
    • such information is complete and accurate and any materials are sufficient in all material respects; and
  • comply with any additional obligations as set out in the

If Our performance of any of Our obligations under the Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by You or failure by You to perform any relevant obligation (Customer Default):

  • without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to Us, We shall have the right to suspend performance of the Services until You remedy the Customer Default, and to rely on the Customer Default to relieve Us from the performance of any of Our obligations in each case to the extent the Customer Default prevents or delays Our performance of any of Our obligations under the Contract;
  • We shall not be liable for any costs, expenses or losses sustained or incurred by You arising directly or indirectly from Our failure or delay to perform any of Our obligations as set out in this clause 2; and
  • You shall reimburse Us, on written demand, for any costs, expenses or losses sustained or incurred by Us arising directly or indirectly from the Customer Default.

Charges, payment and cancellation

We shall invoice You for the Charges in the manner set out in the Quotation.

Unless otherwise stated in the Quotation, You shall pay each invoice submitted by Us:

  • within 14 days of the date of the invoice; and
  • in full and in cleared funds to a bank account nominated in writing by Us, and

time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.

All amounts payable by You under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax chargeable from time to time (VAT). Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made under the Contract by Us to You, You shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from Us, pay to Us such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Services at the same time as payment is due for the supply of the Services.

If You fail to make a payment due to Us under the Contract by the due date then, without limiting Our remedies under clause 10, You shall pay interest on the overdue sum at the rate of 4% above the National Westminster Bank plc base rate from time to time, and at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.

All amounts due under the Contract shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

If You need to cancel the Contract before We have begun to collect relevant data as part of the Services then You must notify Us of this in writing.

If You provide Us with notice under clause 5.6 then You are still liable to pay Us the Charges in full unless We otherwise agree this with You but in any event the minimum that We shall always charge You in such circumstances shall be the full costs and expenses of any and all preparatory work.

Change control

Either party may propose changes to the scope or execution of the Services, but no proposed changes shall come into effect until a relevant Change Order has been signed by both parties. A Change Order shall be a document setting out the proposed changes and the effect those changes will have on:

  • the Services;
  • the Charges;
  • the timetable for the Services; and
  • any terms of this agreement.

If You wish to make a change to the Services:

  • You shall notify Us, providing as much detail as is reasonably necessary to enable Us to prepare the draft Change Order; and
  • We shall, within 10 Business Days of receiving Your request at clause 2(a), provide a draft Change Order to You.
  • If We wish to make a change to the Services, We shall provide a draft Change Order to You.
  • If We submit a draft Change Order in order to comply with any applicable safety or regulatory requirements and such changes do not affect the nature, scope of, or charges for the Services, You shall not unreasonably withhold or delay consent to it.

If the parties:

  • agree to a Change Order, they shall sign it and that Change Order shall amend this agreement; or
  • are unable to agree a Change Order then the change shall not be effective.

Intellectual property rights

All Intellectual Property Rights in or arising out of or in connection with the Services (other than Intellectual Property Rights in any materials provided by You) shall be owned by Us unless We otherwise agree this with You and this is set out in the Quotation.

You grant to Us a fully paid-up, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable licence to copy and modify any materials provided by You to Us for the term of the Contract for the purpose of providing the Services to You.

Data protection

  • Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. This clause 8 is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party's obligations or rights under the Data Protection Legislation. In this clause 8, Applicable Laws means (for so long as and to the extent that they apply to the Supplier) the law of the European Union, the law of any member state of the European Union and/or Domestic UK Law; and Domestic UK Law means the Data Protection Legislation from time to time in force in the UK and any other law that applies in the UK.
  • The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, we are the data processor and the client is the data controller unless stated otherwise.
  • Without prejudice to the generality of clause 2, We shall, in relation to any personal data processed in connection with the performance by Us of Our obligations under the Contract:
  • process that personal data only as required by Applicable Laws;
  • ensure that We have in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal 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 personal data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to personal 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 personal data are obliged to keep the personal data confidential; and
  • have a discretion to transfer any personal data outside of the European Economic Area provided that the following conditions are fulfilled:
  • We have provided appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer;
  • the data subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies; and
  • We have complied with Our obligations under the Data Protection Legislation by providing an adequate level of protection to any personal data that is transferred,
  • notify You without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach; and
  • delete personal data and copies of it within a period of 3 months from the end of the Contract unless required by Applicable Law to store the personal data for a longer period.
  • You consent to Us appointing any third-party Sub-Contractor as a third-party processor of personal data under the Contract. We confirm that We have entered or (as the case may be) will enter with the third-party processor into a written agreement to reflect and will continue to reflect the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. As between You and Us, We shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third party processor appointed by it pursuant to this clause 8.

Limitation of liability: YOUR ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THIS CLAUSE.

We have obtained insurance cover in respect of Our legal liability for individual claims not exceeding £10,000,000 per claim.

  • Unless You notify Us that You intend to make a claim in respect of an event within the notice period, We shall have no liability for that event. The notice period for an event shall start on the day on which You became, or ought reasonably to have become, aware of the event having occurred and shall expire three (3) months from that date.
