Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.

2.3              Once you have placed an order for the Software Service subscription and your order has been accepted by us, you will be sent a Confirmation Email detailing the basic terms of your subscription. Once this Confirmation Email has been sent, a binding contract will be formed between both parties.

Your administration account is strictly for your organisation’s use and you are not authorised to share or otherwise permit any other individual outside of your organisation to have access to or use your administration account, including members of the Subscriber’s Group (unless authorised by us in writing).

2.5              Notwithstanding the above, once the applicable Fees have been paid in full by you in accordance with the Agreement, we will provide you with the means to grant your Authorised End Users access to the Software Service.

Notwithstanding this, the Subscription Fees shall still be payable in full and you will not be entitled to any refund although you may with our prior consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) be permitted to transfer the Software Service licence to another Authorised End User for the remaining duration of the relevant Subscription Term (as the case may be).

2.9              We may offer differing levels of subscription with access to different levels of functionality or services.

You also acknowledge and agree payment may be taken at any time between you placing an order for the Software Service subscription and us accepting your order (by way of a Confirmation Email). In those instances where we are unable to accept your order but payment has already been taken and processed, we will refund you the full amount paid as soon as possible, using the original payment method used. Payments via debit/credit card will not be handled by us directly and will be collected and processed via our third-party payment processor.

14.              General

14.1           Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the whole agreement and understanding of the Parties and supersedes any previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, 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 Agreement, provided always that nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

14.2           No Waiver: The Parties agree that a failure by either Party to enforce the performance of any provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the right to subsequently enforce that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Such failure shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach and shall not constitute a continuing waiver.

14.3           Severance: If any provision of this Agreement (or part of a provision) is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall remain in force. If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision would be valid, enforceable or legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.

14.4           Variation: Unless otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement may be varied only in writing by both of the Parties. A reference to “writing” or “written” in this Agreement includes email.

14.5           Notices: All notices or communication given under this Agreement shall be in writing and by email. Notices shall be deemed to have been duly given at the time of transmission (provided an email delivery failure notification has not been received). If deemed receipt as set out above would occur outside business hours in the place of receipt, it shall be deferred until business hours resume.

Subject to the affected Party promptly notifying the other Party in writing of the cause and the likely duration of the delay or non-performance and provided that the affected Party shall use reasonable endeavours to limit the effect of such event on such other Party, such delay or failure, to the extent affected by the cause will not constitute a breach of the Agreement.

14.8           Rights & Remedies: Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all rights contained in this Agreement and all remedies available to either Party for breach of this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised separately or concurrently. The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed an election of such right or remedy to the exclusion of other rights and remedies. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy will prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

14.9           Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999: Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, a person who is not a Party to this Agreement or a permitted assignee has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Agreement, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists, or is available, apart from that Act.
