13. Term and termination

1. For each Statement of Work, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, continue for an initial term of the duration set out on our website, quotation or invoice ("Initial Term") and thereafter renew automatically for successive terms of either 1 or 12 months each (each a "Renewal Term") unless and until terminated by either party giving the other not less than 90 days' written notice to that effect (such notice to expire at the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent Renewal Term only) or otherwise terminated under this Agreement.

2. Either party may terminate this Agreement in respect of an agreement, at any time, by giving the other written notice if the other: (a) materially breaches any term of this Agreement in respect of a Statement of Work and it is not possible to remedy that breach; (b) materially breaches any term of this Agreement in respect of a Statement of Work and it is possible to remedy that breach, but the other fails to do so within 30 days of being requested in writing to do so; or (c) becomes insolvent, makes composition with its creditors, has a receiver or administrator of its undertaking or the whole or a substantial part of its assets appointed, or an is order made, or an effective resolution is passed, for its administration, receivership, liquidation, winding-up or other similar process, or has any distress, execution or other process levied or enforced against the whole or a substantial part of its assets (which is not discharged, paid out, withdrawn or removed within 28 days), or is subject to any proceedings which are equivalent or substantially similar to any of the foregoing under any applicable jurisdiction, or ceases to trade or threatens to do so.

   For the avoidance of doubt, termination of the Agreement in respect of a Statement of Work does not affect any other statement of works incorporating these terms or the validity of these terms in such statement of works. For the purposes of this clause 13.2, in order for it to be possible to remedy a breach it must be possible to take steps so as to put the other party into the same position which (save as to the date) it would have been in if the breach had never occurred

3. Without prejudice to clause 13.1, We may, in addition, and without liability, terminate this Agreement, or alternatively, may suspend Your (or any or all Authorised Users') access to and use of any part of the SaaS or any Support, by giving You written notice, if:

   (a) any invoiced amount (not then-currently being disputed in good faith) is outstanding beyond the due date for payment;

   (b) You have (or any Authorised User has) misused any part of the SaaS;

   (c) We have a reasonable belief that continued access to or use of the SaaS by You (or any Authorised User) poses a security risk to Us, to other Authorised Users or Our other customers;

   (d) We have a reasonable belief that any registration data supplied by You is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete; (e) any provision of clause 3.3 or the Policies is breached; and/or (f) You are in persistent or repeated breach of any of Your obligations under this Agreement (whether or not it is the same obligation that is breached and whether or not such breaches are remedied).

4. 13.4 If We suspend Your right to access or use any portion or all of the SaaS: (a) Your remain responsible for all fees and charges you have incurred through the date of suspension; (b) Your obligation to pay the fees for the SaaS under this Agreement remains unaffected; and

   (c) you will not be entitled to any service credits or other remedies for any period of suspension.

14. Consequences of termination

1. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason: (a) You shall immediately cease to access, and discontinue all use of, the SaaS; (b) all amounts payable to Us by You shall become immediately due and owing. For the avoidance of doubt, no refund of fees paid in advance shall be due in respect of any unexpired portion of the then-current term; and (c) unless necessary in order that We may continue to perform Our obligations, We shall cease all access to Your systems and shall return all information, materials, documents and data in Our possession at the date of termination to You within 30 days of the effective date of termination.

2. The termination of this Agreement for any reason will not affect: (a) any accrued rights or liabilities which either party may have by the time termination takes effect; or (b) the coming into force or the continuation in force of any of its provisions that expressly or by implication are intended to come into force or continue in force on or after the termination. Without prejudice to the foregoing, clauses 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14 and 15 and Schedule 1 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

15. Disputes

1. This clause 15 shall not apply to any non-payment of fees (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall deemed to be a material breach).

2. If a dispute arises between You and Us in relation to any matter other than non-payment of fees, the appointed representatives for each party shall, in the first instance attempt to agree a resolution for such dispute. If after 20 days (or such other time as the parties may agree in writing) such representatives, each acting reasonably, are unable to resolve the dispute each You and We shall arrange for a senior representative to attend one or more meeting solely in order to resolve the matter in dispute. Such meetings shall be conducted in such manner and at such venue (including a meeting conducted over the telephone) as to promote a consensual resolution of the dispute in question.

3. If the senior representatives are unable to resolve the matter in question within 60 days (or such other time as the parties may agree in writing) then You and We will attempt to settle it by mediation in accordance with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution ("CEDR") Model Mediation Procedure or any other model mediation procedure as agreed between the parties. To initiate a mediation either of us may give notice in writing (a "Mediation Notice") to the other requesting mediation of the dispute and shall send a copy thereof to CEDR or agreed equivalent mediation organisation asking them to nominate a mediator. The mediation shall commence within 28 days of the Mediation Notice being served. Neither party will terminate such mediation until each party has made its opening presentation and the mediator has met each party separately for at least one hour. Thereafter paragraph 14 of the Model Mediation Procedure will apply (or the equivalent paragraph of the other agreed model mediation procedure). Neither of us will commence legal proceedings against the other until 30 days after such mediation of the dispute in question has failed to resolve the dispute. Each party will co- operate with any person appointed as mediator providing him with such information and other assistance as he shall require and will pay his costs, as he shall determine or, in the absence of such determination, such costs will be shared equally.

4. If any provision of this Agreement is held for any reason to be ineffective or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or this Agreement as a whole. If any provision of this Agreement is so found to be ineffective or unenforceable but would be effective or enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted, the provision in question shall apply with such modification(s) as may be necessary to make it effective and enforceable.

5. These Terms and Conditions may vary from time to time as published on our website.

6. Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides otherwise, nothing in this Agreement shall or is intended to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties, constitute one party as agent of the other or give either party authority to make or enter into commitments, assume liabilities or pledge credit on behalf of the other party.

9. This Agreement sets out all of the terms that have been agreed between the parties in relation to the subjects covered by it, and supersedes all previous agreements between the parties relating to such subjects. Provided always that nothing in this clause 16.9 will operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, no other representations or terms shall apply or form part of this Agreement and each party acknowledges that it has not been influenced to enter this Agreement by, and shall have no rights or remedies (other than for breach of contract) in respect of, anything the other party has said or done or committed to do, except as expressly recorded in this Agreement.

10. This Agreement is governed by English law. Subject to clause 15, both parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter, but We are also entitled to apply to any court worldwide for injunctive or other remedies in order to protect or enforce Our Intellectual Property Rights.
