4.2 We will invoice you for and you will pay the Fees applicable to the Software chosen in the Agreement in accordance with the Payment Terms.

5. Design Services

5.1 You will consider the draft Statement of Work, produced as part of the Design Services, and advise us of any changes you wish to make. We will liaise with you in good faith in order to achieve the configuration that you desire for a Fee and within a timescale that you consider acceptable. Once you indicate you are happy with the content of the Statement of Work by signing, it’s content will be incorporated into the Agreement.

5.2 We retain full legal ownership of the Statement of Work and you may not reuse this elsewhere.

6. Build Services

6.1 On receipt of:

(a) your written confirmation that you wish to proceed; and

(b) your payment of the Fees (or such part of them as stated in the Agreement relating to the Software);

we will commence the Build Services.

6.2 Where the Software is to be developed in Iterations, we will make available each Iteration to you so that you may carry out the Acceptance Tests. We will not be obliged to start work on the next Iteration until you have accepted the previous Iteration, though we may, at our discretion, choose to do so.

6.3 Once the Software or that Iteration of them (if not the whole) has passed the Acceptance Tests, it shall be deemed to have been accepted by you as Delivered. Should we not receive from you any indication of any failure of the Software (or Iteration) to achieve the Statement of Work within seven days of our notifying you that the Software (or Iteration) was ready for Acceptance Tests, we shall be entitled to regard the Acceptance Tests as satisfied and you will be deemed to have accepted Delivery of the Software (or the Iteration in question). Any further work that you ask us to carry out on the Software following Delivery will be subject to Additional Fees unless that work is required to correct a fault that has resulted in a breach of the Warranty.

6.4 You accept that any timescales provided in the Statement of Work are estimates only. We will try to complete the Build Services and Deliver the Software within any timescales provided in the Statement of Work but we will not be liable for our failure to do so nor will we be in breach of this Agreement solely by reason of our failure to meet those timescales, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, time shall not be of the essence for the purpose of this clause or any part of this Agreement save where expressly stated to the contrary.

6.5 If necessary we may agree with you to reprioritise other elements of the Build Services that have, following Delivery of one of more previous Iterations, gained a greater degree of importance. You acknowledge that rearranging the provision of the Build Services may create additional technical demands upon us and if those demands require additional work from us, Additional Fees may apply. However, in discussing the rearrangement of the provision of the Build Services with you, we shall advise you of any applicable Additional Fees and we shall not make changes to the provision of the Build Services until you have consented in writing to those changes and the Additional Fees applicable.

6.6 If you fail to take Delivery of any Iteration or part, module or the whole of the Software in accordance with these Conditions or if either Party terminates this Agreement for whatever reason, whether before or after the Delivery Date, you will be liable to pay to us all sums due for the time we have spent and the materials used to that point in time, in addition to any and all costs and expenses that we incur as a result of your default, termination or rescheduling of Delivery to a later date.

6.7 We will invoice you for and you will pay the Fees applicable for the Build Services in accordance with the Payment Terms. Should you fail to pay the Fees when they are due then, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that may be available to us, we may suspend the provision of all further Build Services and any other Services of any description until payment has been made. Should we exercise our right to suspend provision, we will notify you immediately.

6.8 Should you require us to modify and/or enhance the Software after we have agreed the Statement of Work with you, we will carry out those modifications and enhancements only once you have accepted in writing any Additional Fees and/or changes to timescales that might be warranted as a result. The acceptance of further Build Services and additional requirements for the Software will be at our general discretion and in exercising that discretion, we will consider issues such as workloads and technical demands but we will not withhold our acceptance unreasonably. The detail of any further Build Services that you ask us to perform will be agreed between us using the Change Control Procedure in accordance with clause 7 below.

6.9 In the event that new inventions, designs or processes evolve in the provision of the Build Services or otherwise as a result of this Agreement, you acknowledge that these inventions, designs and processes will be our property unless we have agreed with you to the contrary in writing.

7. Change Control Procedures

7.1 This clause details the processes to be used to generate a change to the Statement of Work. The procedure laid out below shall be referred to as “Change Control”or “Change Control Procedure”.

7.2 The Account Manager and the Project Manager shall conduct discussions relating to proposed changes to the Statement of Work in good faith. Until such time as both have signed an addendum to this Agreement, we will continue to provide the Services and both Parties shall perform their obligations in accordance with this Agreement. On the completion of the addendum, the Parties shall comply with the Agreement as varied.

7.3 Any work undertaken by us (or on our behalf) in connection with any proposed change to the Statement of Work shall be undertaken entirely at our expense and liability unless you agree with us in writing the nature of the work and the Additional Fees or other payment due in respect thereof.

7.4 Any discussions, negotiations or other communications that may take place between the Parties in connection with any proposed change to this Agreement, including but not limited to the submission of any written communications, prior to the signing by both the Account Manager and the Project Manager of the relevant addendum, shall be without prejudice to the rights of either Party.

7.5 Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold or delay their agreement to any proposed change to the Statement of Work.

7.6 Should either Party wish to amend the Statement of Work, that Party shall submit details of the proposed variation (a “Change Request”) to the other Party addressing, as far as possible, the following points:

7.6.1 the originator and date of the proposal for the proposed change;

7.6.2 the reason for the proposed change;

7.6.3 full details of the proposed change;

7.6.4 a proposed timetable for implementation of the change, if any;

7.6.5 proposals for acceptance of the change;

7.6.6 the price, if any, of the proposed change; and

7.6.7 details of the likely impact, if any, of the proposed change on other aspects of this Agreement.

7.7 Within one week of the submission of the Change Request (or such other period as may be agreed between the Parties) the receiving Party shall respond to the Change Request in writing and, if appropriate, we will meet with you to discuss the proposed change.

7.8 The discussions that we have with you following the submission of a Change Request will result in either:

7.8.1 agreement on the changes to be made to this Agreement, including agreement on the date upon which the changes are to take effect, such agreement to be expressed in the form of a revised Statement of Work; or

7.8.2 no further action being taken on that proposed Change Request.

7.9 A copy of any proposed changes to this Agreement that we agree with you in accordance with clause 7.8.1 above, which we have both signed in accordance with clause 7.10, shall constitute an addendum to this Agreement. We will uniquely identify each addendum with a unique sequential number.

7.10 No amendment to these Conditions or to the Agreement will be valid unless confirmed in writing by a director on our behalf together with a duly authorised person signing on your behalf.

7.11 Requests for new features that involve updates to the Software will not usually be treated as Change Requests but instead we shall consider such requests for inclusion in our product roadmap. We choose and prioritise feature requests based on what, in our discretion, we perceive to be the overall need for the feature requested and the value that it would add to our clients and their customers and we balance these factors against technical and design issues arising from the inclusion of those features.

15. Limitation And Liability

15.1 The following provisions set out our entire liability (including any liability for the acts and omissions of its employees, agents and sub-contractors) to you in respect of:

15.1.1 any breach of our contractual obligations arising under this Agreement (other than a breach the warranty we give at clause 16.1); and

15.1.2 any representation statement or tortious act or omission including negligence arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

15.2 Our liability to you for death or injury resulting from our own negligence or that of our employees, agents or sub-contractors shall not be limited. Nothing in these Conditions shall be interpreted so as to exclude or limit any such liability.

15.3 Any act or omission on our part or by our employees, agents or sub-contractors falling within clause 15.1 above shall for the purposes of this clause 15 be known as an “Event of Default”. If a number of Events of Default give rise to substantially the same loss then they shall be regarded as giving rise to only one claim under this Agreement.

15.4 Our liability to you in respect of damage to physical property resulting from an Event of Default shall be limited to £500,000. For the avoidance of doubt, physical property does not include software, computer code or data.

15.5 Save for our liability to you for damage to physical property, our entire liability in respect of any Event of Default shall be limited to damages of an amount equal to the Fees paid or payable in accordance with these Conditions in the calendar year ending on the date of the Event of Default (or the first thereof, if more than one give rise to substantially the same claim, loss or damage).

15.6 Leaving aside the limitations on our liability set out in clauses 15.4 and 15.5, should a court decide that following an Event of Default you are justified in terminating this Agreement for total failure of consideration, we will refund to you all Fees that you have paid to us.

15.7 Under no circumstances shall we be liable to you for loss of data or software restoration, or for loss of profits, goodwill, opportunity or for any type of special indirect or consequential loss (including loss or damage suffered by you as a result of an action brought by a third party) even if such loss was reasonably foreseeable or you had previously advised us of the possibility of you incurring the same.

15.8 You will give us not less than twenty-eight days in which to remedy any Event of Default, starting with the day upon which you notify us of that Event of Default.

15.9 We will have no liability to you in respect of any Event of Default unless you give us written notice of it within three months of the date you became aware of the circumstances giving rise to the Event of Default (or the date when you ought reasonably to have become so aware, if earlier).

15.10 We will indemnify you against any loss or damage that you sustain or incur as a result of our breach of clause 12.4.

15.11 Nothing in this clause shall confer upon you any right or remedy to which you would not otherwise be legally entitled.
