(a) process that Client Personal Data only on the documented instructions of the Client, which shall be to process that Client Personal Data for the purposes set out in the applicable Order Form, unless the Supplier is required by applicable laws to otherwise process that Client Personal Data. Where the Supplier is relying on applicable laws as the basis for processing Client Personal Data, the Supplier shall notify the Client of this before performing the processing required by the applicable laws unless those applicable laws prohibit the Supplier from so notifying the Client on important grounds of public interest. The Supplier shall inform the Client if, in the opinion of the Supplier, the instructions of the Client infringe Data Protection Legislation;
(b) implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of Client Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Client Personal Data, which the Client has reviewed and confirms are 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;
(c) ensure that any personnel engaged and authorised by the Supplier to process Client Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory or common law obligation of confidentiality;
(d) assist the Client insofar as this is possible (taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to the Supplier), and at the Client's cost and written request, in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring the Client's compliance with its obligations under Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators;
(e) notify the Client without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach involving the Client Personal Data;
(f) at the written direction of the Client, delete or return Client Personal Data and copies thereof to the Client on termination of the Agreement unless the Supplier is required by applicable law to continue to process that Client Personal Data. For the purposes of this Clause 5.8(f) Client Personal Data shall be considered deleted where it is put beyond further use by the Supplier; and
(g) maintain records to demonstrate its compliance with this Clause 5 and allow for reasonable audits by the Client or the Client's designated auditor, for this purpose, on reasonable written notice.
5.9 The Client hereby provides its prior, general authorisation for the Supplier to:
(a) appoint processors to process the Client Personal Data, provided that the Supplier:
(i) shall ensure that the terms on which it appoints such processors comply with Data Protection Legislation, and are consistent with the obligations imposed on the Supplier in this Clause 5;
(ii) shall remain responsible for the acts and omission of any such processor as if they were the acts and omissions of the Supplier; and
(iii) shall inform the Client of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of the processors with at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice, where reasonably possible, thereby giving the Client the opportunity to object to such changes provided that if the Client objects to the changes and cannot demonstrate, to the Supplier's reasonable satisfaction, that the objection is due to an actual or likely breach of Data Protection Legislation, the Client shall indemnify the Supplier for any losses, damages, costs (including legal fees) and expenses suffered by the Supplier in accommodating the objection;
(b) process and host the Client Personal Data primarily in the Hosting Region applicable to the Client, and transfer Client Personal Data outside that Hosting Region only where reasonably required for the purpose of providing the Services (including the use of authorised sub-processors, the provision of Support Services, business continuity, or compliance with applicable law), in each case in accordance with Data Protection Legislation;
(c) where any transfer of Client Personal Data under clause 5.9(b) constitutes a "restricted transfer" or equivalent regulated cross-border transfer under any applicable Data Protection Legislation:
(i) where the EU GDPR applies to the transfer, Module Two (controller-to-processor) of the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 (the "EU SCCs") is hereby incorporated by reference and shall apply, with the Client as data exporter and the Supplier (or its relevant sub-processor) as data importer, the general written authorisation option being selected under Clause 9(a) with the notice period set out in clause 5.9(a)(iii), and Irish law and the courts of Ireland being selected for Clauses 17 and 18;
(ii) where the UK GDPR applies to the transfer, the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU SCCs issued by the UK Information Commissioner under section 119A of the Data Protection Act 2018 (the "UK IDTA Addendum") is hereby incorporated by reference and shall apply in conjunction with the EU SCCs at clause 5.9(b)(i), with the parties' details, the description of the transfer, and the technical and organisational measures populated by reference to the applicable Order Form and these terms; and
(iii) where any other applicable Data Protection Legislation requires a specific transfer mechanism that is not addressed in clauses 5.9(c)(i) or (ii) (which may include, where in force, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension thereto, or an equivalent mechanism recognised by the supervisory authorities in Australia, New Zealand, California or Canada), the Supplier may elect to apply such mechanism as it considers appropriate to give effect to the transfer, and the Client shall provide such reasonable assistance and execute such documents as the Supplier reasonably requests to give effect to it.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Supplier's hosting of Client Personal Data in the Hosting Region does not, of itself, constitute a transfer for the purposes of Data Protection Legislation, and the Client's selection (or acceptance of the default) of a Hosting Region constitutes the Client's documented instruction under clause 5.8(a).
5.10 To the extent that the Supplier cannot comply with a change to the Client’s instructions when processing Client Personal Data without incurring material additional costs:
(a) the Supplier shall: (i) immediately inform the Client, giving full details of the problem; and (ii) cease all processing of the affected data (other than securely storing those data) until revised instructions are received; and
(b) any changes in the Client’s instructions that affect the pricing structure or commercial relationship between the Parties shall be agreed in writing between the parties.
6. Third party providers
6.1 The Client 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 Client, with any such third party. Any contract entered into and any transaction completed via any third-party website is between the Client and the relevant third party, and not the Supplier. The Supplier recommends that the Client 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.
7. Supplier's obligations
7.1 The Supplier undertakes that the Services will be performed substantially in accordance with the Documentation and with reasonable skill and care.
7.2 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 foregoing undertaking, the Supplier will, at its expense, use reasonable commercial endeavours to correct any such non-conformance promptly, or provide the Client with an alternative means of accomplishing the desired performance. Such correction or substitution constitutes the Client's sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the undertaking set out in clause 7.1.
7.3 The Supplier:

9.9 In addition to clause 9.8, the Supplier shall annually after each anniversary of the Effective Date be entitled to increase the Fees upon 90 days' prior notice to the Client and the Order Form shall be deemed to have been amended accordingly. If the Client does not agree with this increase, then it may terminate the affected Order Forms at the end of the then current term of the applicable Order Form upon thirty (30) days written notice and before such price increase takes effect. If the Supplier does not receive written notice within thirty (30) days, the Client is deemed to have agreed to the amendment to the Fees

The Supplier may use and share such Aggregate Data freely, including to improve the Services, develop new products, understand product trends, and generally for any business purpose. The Supplier retains all Intellectual Property Rights in the Aggregate Data.
10.5 If the Client or any End User provides the Supplier with any suggestion, idea, comment, recommendation or other feedback relating to the Services, the Software, the Documentation or the Supplier’s business, whether written or oral (collectively, "Feedback"), the Supplier may, without restriction or obligation, use, reproduce, modify, license, distribute and incorporate that Feedback into the Services or any other product or service of the Supplier.

(b) the clauses in this Agreement.
17.2 The Order Form shall set out the specific Service SKU(s) purchased, applicable usage limits (including per-Tenant or per-End-User metrics), and associated Fees. In the event of conflict, the Order Form shall prevail.
18.1 Version Control and Updates to T&Cs
(a) Prior Version clients. A Client who is party to an Agreement governed by a Prior Version of these T&Cs shall continue to be governed by that Prior Version unless and until: (i) the Client executes a new Order Form that expressly references the Current Version; or (ii) the Client otherwise affirmatively accepts the Current Version in writing. The Supplier shall not unilaterally migrate a Prior Version client onto the Current Version without the Client’s express written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Supplier’s right to update the Prior Version in accordance with its own variation provisions remains unaffected by this clause.
(b) Current Version clients. For Clients on the Current Version, the Supplier may update or amend these T&Cs at any time. The effective date of any update will be stated at the top of the document. In the case of material changes, the Supplier will notify the Client by email to the contact provided in the applicable Order Form, giving no less than thirty (30) days’ notice of the proposed changes (the “Notice Period”).
(c) Objection and fall-back. If the Client objects in writing to a proposed update before the expiry of the Notice Period, the update shall not apply to that Client and the version of the T&Cs in effect immediately before the notified update (the “Fall-back Version”) shall continue to govern the parties’ relationship. If the Client does not object in writing before the expiry of the Notice Period, continued use of the Services after that date shall constitute the Client’s acceptance of the updated T&Cs.
(d) Fall-back Version governance. Where a Fall-back Version applies pursuant to clause 18.1(c): (i) the Supplier shall continue to provide the Services on the Fall-back Version terms for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term; (ii) on renewal, the Current Version (as updated) will apply to the Renewal Period, and the Client’s failure to provide a termination notice in accordance with clause 14.1 shall constitute acceptance of the Current Version for that Renewal Period; and (iii) the Supplier shall have no obligation to maintain or support features, pricing or functionality that are superseded by the Current Version solely to accommodate the Fall-back Version beyond the then-current Subscription Term.
18.2 Non-material Amendments of the Order Form Requested by the Client
For the purposes of non-material changes that do not affect the fundamental rights or obligations of either party under this Agreement and do not materially alter its scope, risk allocation or financial terms (such as operational, administrative or quantitative updates) requested by the Client (including changes to the number of User Subscriptions or the Initial Subscription Term), the parties agree that such variations may be made in writing, including by email or other electronic correspondence, without the need for signatures. Such informal amendments shall be valid and binding upon written acknowledgment by the Supplier.
18.3 Other Formal Amendments Requested by the Client
All other amendments to these T&Cs or the Order Form requested by the Client must be agreed upon in writing and signed by both parties (or their authorized representatives) and clearly stated in the “Additional Information” section of an Order Form. No other purported variation by the Client shall be effective unless made in accordance with this clause. In the event of a conflict, such amendments shall prevail only with respect to the specific sections they modify; all other provisions of these T&Cs shall remain in full force and effect.
19. Waiver
No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
20. Rights and remedies
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided under this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.
21. Severance
21.1 If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement.
21.2 If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is deemed deleted under clause 21.1 the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree a replacement provision that, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.
22. Entire agreement
22.1 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.
