The Statement of Work may outline an estimated timetable which is provided for planning purposes. Supplier shall use its reasonable endeavours to perform the Services in accordance with the estimated timetable.

If the Customer requests additional Services from the Supplier ("Requested Services"), and the Supplier agrees to perform such Requested Services, the Requested Services shall form part of the Services to be provided under an Agreement. If the fees in relation to Requested Services are not otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, the Requested Services shall be charged at the Supplier's standard rate, and paid by the Customer in accordance with clause 11.

Where a Statement of Work sets out a Fixed Fee in relation to creative Services, the Supplier shall not be required to perform more than four (4) design iterations in relation to such portion of the Services.

Changes to the scope or nature of the Services shall only be made if confirmed in writing by the parties. Supplier will advise the Customer if such changes necessitate any increase in the Fees payable to it and/or the Fee Estimate.

Where the Statement of Work indicates an 'agile development model' or 'ADM' applies in relation to Services, the Statement of Work shall set out:

(a) a block of hours of effort towards the Services (the "Hours Block");

(b) an hourly rate in relation to the provision of the Services in the Hours Block (the "Block Rate"); and
(c) an expiry date upon which the relevant ADM shall expire (the "Block Expiry Date").

The fees for Services provided under an ADM ("ADM Fees") shall be classified, and invoiced, as Time & Materials Fees. TheADM Fees shall be calculated based on the time and materials of the Services performed.

Subject to clause 5.4, each hour of Services provided under an ADM shall be charged at the Block Rate

Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, upon the earlier of:
(a) the number of hours of Services provided under an ADM exceeding the Hours Block; or
(b) the Block Expiry Date occurring,
the ADM shall expire, and the Services shall be charged at the Time & Materials Fees (and not at the Block Rate).

For the avoidance of doubt:
(a) upon an ADM expiring because of the passing of the Block Expiry Date, the unused portion of the Hours Block shall have no redemption value, and future Services shall be charged at the Time & Materials Fees (and not the Block Rate); and
(b) the Hours Block multiplied by the Block Rate shall not operate as a Fee Estimate.

Where a Statement of Work sets out 'on-going services', the Statement of Work may specify a number of days per calendar month of Services which are to be provided to Customer. If such Services are not consumed within the relevant calendar month, each wholly unconsumed day may be rolled over to become available in the subsequent calendar month, subject always to a cap of one half of the days granted per calendar month being able to roll over. By way of example, if four (4) days of on-going services are available per calendar month, no more than two (2) calendar days may roll over into the subsequent month. If the number of days of Services in a calendar month is reached, Client may elect for up to ten (10) per-cent or less of the allocated effort for Services in the subsequent calendar month to be transferred and brought forward into the relevant calendar month. Additional hours, in excess of these amounts, requested and delivered, shall be charged at the overage fee rate, as set out in the Time & Materials Fee.

Where a Statement of Work sets out a 'full time equivalent' or 'FTE' for a staff member providing Services, each full time equivalent is intended to provide approximately forty (40) hours of the relevant Services per week (adjusted pro-rata where a week contains fewer than five (5) Business Days). In any case, if the number of hours of the relevant Services both requested and provided in a single week (adjusted pro-rata where a week contains fewer than five (5) Business Days) exceeds forty (40), the applicable fees shall be the number of hours of the relevant Services, multiplied by the 'FTE' rate as set out in the Time and Materials Fee.

Where a Statement of Work sets out 'hosting services' these will be partially sub-contracted to a third party supplier. In relation to any such Services, the Customer shall not, nor shall it permit, enable, or assist others (except as to endusers) to use the Services for:

(a) any breach of any applicable law or generally accepted transmission or application protocols applicable to the internet or any part of it or to anything connected to it or to any user of it;

(b) civil infringement of and/or criminal offences relating to copyright, trademarks or any other intellectual property right in any jurisdiction;

(c) commission of any criminal offence (including deliberate transmission ofcomputer viruses) under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (UK) or any similar legislation in any country;

(d) knowingly or recklessly transmitting, displaying or posting to a publicly accessible service any material which is unlawful or actionably defamatory or an invasion of privacy, breach of an intellectual property right or breach of a right of publicity in any jurisdiction with which any publicly accessible service reasonably appears to have any connection or from which it may reasonably be apprehended that a publicly accessible service is likely to be significantly accessed;

(e) transmitting, transferring, displaying or posting to a publicly accessible service any material in breach of the Data Protection legalisation or data protection laws in any other country or of any material which is confidential or is a trade secret or which affects the national security of the United Kingdom or the said territory or which may expose Supplier to any retribution or penalty under the laws and/or regulations and/or decrees of the United Kingdom or any other country relating to the export of or dealing with military or potentially military resources;

(f) use of the Services or the internet in any matter which is a violation or infringement of any rights of any kind of nature (whether like to any of the foregoing or otherwise) of any person, firm or company;

(h) forgery of Internet addresses or other fields in IP packets; or

(i) any sending of unsolicited email messages or any mass mailing of unsolicited advertising material; or

(j) any activity that potentially could harm the network used to provide the Services, its clients' networks or other networks, including but not limited to traffic flooding, malicious overflows; or

(k) any activity that Supplier decides at its absolute discretion is an unsuitable use of the Services.

Where a Statement of Work sets out 'dedicated hosting services' (whether virtual dedicated, or dedicated), Supplier offers a service level, subject to clauses 7.3and 7.4, to the Customer of 100% website availability each calendar month in relation to such dedicated hosting services.

The calculation of 100% website availability shall exclude any downtime where no fault is observed or confirmed by Supplier, or which arises from, or is otherwise indirectly caused by:

(a) any cause other than a fault by Supplier, including faults or negligence of the Customer or problems associated with equipment connected on the Customer's side of any delivery point;

(b) a disconnection of the Customer's connection where the Customer's connection or equipment is causing disproportional negative effects on the performance, quality and/or operation of (i) the Supplier's general network connection or (ii) a third party supplier's general network connection;

(c) the suspension of the Service as permitted under a provision of this Agreement;

(d) requested upgrades;

(e) scheduled maintenance;

(f) a force majeure event; or

(g) any malicious external attacks such as a DoS attack.

In respect of any failure to achieve the service level set out in clause 7.2, the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be a service credit as set out in this clause 7.4. Supplier shall credit the Customer with 0.5 days service credit for each hour when the service is not available, subject to:

(a) a maximum credit in any one calendar month of 50% of the monthly fee for the relevant hosting service;

(b) Customer shall not be entitled to any credit if any payment of Fees is overdue;

(c) the credit shall be made for the element of the hosting service that was not available, it will not be made for the whole Fees (e.g. if a dedicated server and backup service are ordered, but the backup service is not available for a period of time, the credit will be calculated based on the price of the backup service, not the combined price of the dedicated server and backup service).

Unless set out otherwise in a Statement of Work, the fees in relation to hosting services shall start to accrue when the production environment in relation to the Deliverables or Services is created (which is typically in advance of the Customer being able to enter content into a staging website, and before the website can launch).

Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, where the Services are to be provided in stages Supplier will not proceed to the next stage unless there is acceptance of the agreed Specified Deliverables from the then current stage in accordance with Clause 8.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Specified Deliverables shall be submitted to the Customer for acceptance in accordance with the procedure set out in this Clause 8.

Unless a different time period or acceptance process is provided for in a Statement of Work or otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, the Customer shall notify Supplier in writing within 10 Business Days following receipt of any Specified Deliverable by the Customer if the relevant Deliverable fails to meet the Acceptance Criteria or Specification (as applicable). This notice shall state in reasonable detail the reasons for the Specified Deliverable failing to meet the Acceptance Criteria, or Specification (as applicable). Acceptance by the Customer shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be deemed to be given by the Customer:

(a) after the passage of 10 Business Days without notice of non-acceptance following delivery of the relevant Specified Deliverables to the Customer;

(b) if the Customer uses the relevant Specified Deliverables for any purpose whatsoever (other than acceptance testing); or

(c) where the relevant Specified Deliverables materially conform to the terms and conditions of an Agreement, including the relevant Specification.

Supplier will use its reasonable endeavours to correct any problems with the Specified Deliverables within 20 Business Days from receipt of notice from the Customer under Clause 8.2, or present the Customer with a plan to correct such problems within a period of time that is reasonable under the circumstances. Supplier will, for the avoidance of doubt, carry out such activity free of additional charge, save that where the relevant failure to pass the Acceptance Criteria or materially conform to the Specification (as applicable) has been due to some fault of the Customer (including any of the circumstances described in Clause 22) such activity shall be carried out at the Customer's expense on a time and materials basis. Following correction or amendment, all Specified Deliverables will be resubmitted to the Customer in accordance with the procedure set out in Clause 8.2.

Where Specified Deliverables which have been resubmitted in accordance with Clause 8.3 still do not confirm with the Acceptance Criteria and/or the Agreement, the Customer shall be entitled to:

(a) accept such part of the re-submitted Specified Deliverables (or any part thereof)as Customer may decide and, if applicable, pay a pro-rated reduction in the Fees inrespect of such part; or

(b) require Supplier to correct the defects identified at no extra cost to the Customer by such date as agreed by the parties, in which case the revised Specified Deliverables shall be subject to all the provisions of the Agreement (including this Clause 8).

The Customer shall indemnify the Supplier and keep the Supplier indemnified from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, taxation, additional taxation or reduced R&D tax credit, losses, damages, costs, fines, penalties and expenses (including without limitation legal expenses) suffered or incurred by the Supplier which arises out of or in connection with, directly or indirectly, a breach of Clause 10.2together with any tax payable by the Supplier in respect of any payment made under this indemnity.

The Customer shall pay any withholding tax or other similar taxes applicable to the Services or the Deliverables or otherwise required by law to be deducted from any payment by the Customer to Supplier pursuant to an Agreement. Should the Customer be required to pay any such withholding tax of other similar taxes, the relevant fees and charges shall be increased such that Supplier shall receive the same amount after payment of any withholding tax or other similar taxes as it would otherwise have received had no withholding tax or other similar taxes been incurred. The Customer and Supplier shall cooperate in good faith to respond to any query from the applicable tax authorities in connection with withholding tax or other similar taxes and shall each make available to the other any information or documents and all relevant approvals or authorisations which the applicable tax authorities may reasonably require.

Supplier shall notify the Customer of any commercial Third Party Materials made available on a paid-for basis that Supplier intends to incorporate into the Deliverables prior to the use of such paid-for Third Party Materials and shall provide details of their licences to the Customer. Customer acknowledges that ownership of all Third Party Materials shall remain vested in Supplier's licensors. Supplier shall use reasonable endeavours to procure a licence of the Third Party Materials for the Customer, but the Customer acknowledges that it will be responsible for obtaining such licence (at its own cost).

Supplier acknowledges that ownership in and to any Customer Materials shall remain vested in Customer or its licensors. Customer grants the Supplier a non- exclusive, non-transferable, licence to use the Customer Materials solely to the extent necessary for the purposes of providing the Services for the duration of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding Clause 17.8 and subject to Clause 17.10, if at any time (whether on termination of an Agreement or otherwise) the Customer requests Supplier to provide:

(a) in respect of Project Services a copy of the Customer Materials and/or Source Code Materials, or

(b) in respect of Managed Platform Services a copy of the Customer Materials

Supplier may charge Customer on a time and materials basis at Supplier's standard rates for the time taken by Supplier to action Customer's request, including time taken to prepare such Customer Materials and/or Source Code Materials for delivery.

Supplier reserves the right to withhold the release of any Customer Materials and/or Source Code Materials under this Agreement:

(a) if Customer has failed in any way to comply with the terms and conditions of each Agreement; and/or

(b) if any amounts due under a Statement of Work remain outstanding, until Supplier has received payment in full of such amounts.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Supplier may display a creation credit link on any website it develops for Customer for the purpose of crediting Supplier as the developer of the website. Such link shall be at Supplier's discretion and displayed in a discrete manner on the website homepage and such other pages of the website as the Supplier reasonably determines. Nothing in this clause 17.11 shall in any way prejudice Customer's ownership rights in respect of Project Services in any Deliverables under clause 17.2.

Subject to Clause 18.2, Supplier shall indemnify the Customer against all claims, expenses, losses, damages, proceedings and costs that the Customer may sustain or incur as a result of a claim that the use, possession or receipt by the Customer in accordance with the terms and conditions of an Agreement of any of the Deliverables (excluding any Third Party Materials or Customer Materials embedded in the Deliverables) (an "Infringing Deliverable") infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party (an "IPR Claim").

Supplier shall have no liability if an IPR Claim is based on:

(a) the Customer's products and/or or services, whether in whole or in part;

(b) the Customers' use of the Deliverables in a manner not contemplated by the relevant Statement of Work;

(c) use or combination of the Deliverables with the Customer's or any third party's products and/or services in a manner not contemplated by the relevant Statement of Work;

(d) a modification of the Deliverables by anyone other than Supplier; or

(e) the Customer's use of the Deliverables after notice of an IPR Claim from Supplier or any appropriate authority

If any person makes an IPR Claim, Supplier may, at its option, do one of the following:

(a) modify the Infringing Deliverable so that the Customer's use, possession or receipt of the Infringing Deliverable ceases to infringe the rights of the relevant third party;

(b) procure promptly for the Customer the right to use, possess or receive the Infringing Deliverable free of any claim or liability for infringement; or

(c) replace the Infringing Deliverable promptly with a non-infringing substitute work product.

The Customer shall indemnify the Supplier against all claims, expenses, losses, damages, proceedings and costs that the Supplier may sustain or incur as a result of a claim that the use, possession or receipt by the Supplier of the Customer Materials infringes the Intellectual Property Rights or other rights of any third party (also an "IPR Claim").

On a party (the "Indemnified Party") becoming aware of any facts that could give rise to an IPR Claim, the Indemnified Party shall:

(a) promptly notify the other party (the "Indemnifying Party" ) in writing of the IPR Claim or potential IPR Claim together with all relevant facts;

(b) not make any admissions or settlement in respect of any IPR Claim or potential IPR Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party;

(c) immediately allow the Indemnifying Party to defend and have full conduct of any negotiations and settlement of any IPR Claim;

(d) promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with all information and assistance reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party in respect of its defence of any IPR Claim; and

(e) do all things reasonable to mitigate all losses arising from the IPR Claim.

Each Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continues indefinitely (the "Term"), unless terminated earlier by either party in accordance with its terms.

Either party may terminate each Agreement (or the relevant part of it) at any time for convenience and without cause by providing:

(a) where the Statement of Work specifies a Fixed Fee for Deliverables, subject to clause 19.4, written notice to the other party which can apply immediately, or at a set time in the future;

(b) where the Statement of Work specifies a fixed number of days per month of Services, written notice to the other party which takes effect at the end of the calendar month after the month in which the notice was served; and

(c) where the Statement of Work specifies a 'full time equivalent' or 'FTE', three months' written notice to the other party which shall take effect as set out in clause 19.5; and

(d) in all other cases, at least three (3) months written notice to the other party.

Upon a termination of an Agreement under clause 19.2 by either party:

(a) subject to clause 19.4, all Services and all Statements of Work shall cease and terminate;

and

(b) the provisions of clauses 17.2, 17.3, 17.4, and 17.5 shall continue in effect.

Upon termination under clause 19.2(a), where the relevant Deliverable has not been completed as at the date of termination, the Supplier shall invoice the Customer pro rata in relation to the portion of the estimated total effort which was actually applied towards completing the relevant Statement of Work, for the avoidance of doubt capped at the Fixed Fee.

Upon a termination under clause 19.2(c) by the Customer, any Statement of Work that provides (in whole or in part) for the provision of a 'full time equivalent' or 'FTE' shall be wound down as follows:

(a) the Statement of Work shall initially continue for a three (3) month notice period;

(b) the Supplier shall give notice of each full time equivalent to be reduced and removed from the Services;

(c) a maximum of one (1) full time equivalent may be reduced and removed from the Services in any three month period (excluding the initial notice period); and

(d) when the number of remaining full time equivalent's providing the Services in relation to the relevant Statement of Work would be zero (or negative), then the relevant Statement of Work shall terminate.

By way of example, if a Statement of Work included the provision of Services which required four full time equivalent workers, then a notice of termination provided on January 1 would allow for the Supplier to reduce the number of full time equivalent staff to three on April 1, to two on July 1, and to one on October 1. On January 1 the subsequent year, the final full time equivalent could be removed, and the Statement of Work would terminate.

Either party may terminate an Agreement with immediate effect by written notice to the other party if

(a) the other party:

(i) ceases to trade (either in whole, or as to any part or division involved in the performance of an Agreement); or

(ii) becomes insolvent or unable to pay its debts within the meaning of the insolvency legislation applicable to that party; or

(iii) a person (including the holder of a charge or other security interest) is appointed to manage or take control of the whole or part of the business or assets of that party, or notice of an intention to appoint such a person is given or documents relating to such an appointment are filed with any court; or

(iv) the ability of that party's creditors to take any action to enforce their debts is suspended, restricted or prevented or some or all of that party's creditors accept, by agreement or pursuant to a court order, an amount of less than the sums owing to them in satisfaction of those sums; or

(v) any process is instituted which could lead to that party being dissolved and its assets being distributed to its creditors, shareholders or other contributors (other than for the purposes of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction); or

(b) it is entitled to do so in accordance with Clause 23.2.

On termination of an Agreement for whatever reason:

(a) the Customer shall pay Supplier in full for all Services provided up to the date of termination and, in respect of Services supplied but for which no invoice has been submitted, the Supplier shall submit an invoice, which shall be payable by the Customer immediately on receipt;

(b) each party shall promptly return to the other party all of the other party's Confidential Information (including any copies thereof) within its possession or control, provided always that Supplier may retain one copy of the Customer's Confidential Information for professional and audit purposes;

(c) the obligations of confidentiality (but not the rights to use or disclose) under Clause 12 will continue to apply to the parties; and

(d) the licence granted under Clause 17.7 shall cease.

Termination of an Agreement for whatever reason shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties which have accrued prior to the date of termination, including the right to claim damages as a result of a breach of the Agreement.

Any provision of an Agreement which expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination of the Agreement will remain in effect.

No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under an Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

Except as expressly provided in an Agreement, the rights and remedies provided under an Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.

Supplier shall not be deemed to be in breach of an Agreement or otherwise liable to the Customer as a result of any delay or other failure in the performance of its obligations under an Agreement if and to the extent that such delay or other failure is caused by or arises from:

(a) the Customer's non-performance, delayed performance or other breach of its obligations under the Agreement;

(b) Customer Materials supplied by the Customer being faulty, damaged or incorrectly prepared;

(c) the delayed arrival or non-arrival of Customer Materials from the Customer;

(d) errors in programs, coding information or operating instructions supplied by the Customer, including any failure of or defects in the Customer's systems;

(e) any failure by the Customer to obtain all necessary rights and licences in relation to the Intellectual Property Rights of third parties;

(f) any act or omission of the Customer that has a material adverse effect upon the performance by Supplier of its obligations under the Agreement; or

(g) without limiting the application of Clause 23, any Force Majeure Event.

Notwithstanding any other provision of an Agreement, neither party to an Agreement shall be in breach of an Agreement or otherwise liable to the other as a result of any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under an Agreement (other than an obligation to pay money ) if and to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by any event or circumstance not within the reasonable control of the party concerned ("ForceMajeureEvent"), and the time for performance of the relevant obligation(s) shall be extended accordingly.

If any ForceMajeureEvent delays or prevents the performance of the obligations of either party for a continuous period in excess of one (1) month, then either party shall then be entitled to give notice to the other party to terminate an Agreement, specifying the date (which shall not be less than seven (7) days after the date on which the notice is given) on which termination will take effect.

Each Agreement, and any schedules or documents annexed to it, or otherwise referred to here in, contain the whole agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter here of and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings between the parties relating to that subject matter.

Each party acknowledges that, in entering into an Agreement, it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether it was made negligently or innocently) of any person (whether a party to the Agreement or not)("Representation") other than as expressly set out in the Agreement.

Each party agrees that the only rights and remedies available to it arising out of or in connection with a Representation shall be for breach of contract as expressly provided in an Agreement.

No variation of an Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the parties (or their authorised representatives).

If any court or competent authority finds that any provision of an Agreement (or part of any provision) is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part- provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed to be deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement shall not be affected.

If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision of an agreement would be valid, enforceable and legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.

Each Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall constitute an original of the agreement, but all the counter parts shall together constitute the same agreement.

The Customer and any of its Affiliates may enforce the terms of an Agreement subject to and in accordance with this clause 28, the Agreement and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

It is agreed that an Agreement is intended to confer a benefit on the Customer and its Affiliates by making the Software available to them in accordance with the Agreement, provided that the rights of such Affiliates under the Agreement shall only be enforceable by the Customer on their behalf. The Customer will owe no duty to them to enforce such rights and it may conduct or compromise any relevant proceedings as it sees fit.

Except as provided in clause 28.1, a person who is not a party to an Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of an Agreement, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists, or is available, apart from that Act.

The rights of the parties to terminate (if any), rescind or agree any variation, waiver or settlement under an Agreement is not subject to the consent of any person that is not a party to the Agreement.

Nothing in an Agreement is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture between any of the parties, constitute any party the agent of another party, nor authorise any party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of any other party.

Neither party shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, at any time from the date on which any Services commence to the expiry of 18 months after the completion of such Services, solicit or entice away from the other party or employ or attempt to employ any person who is, or has been, engaged as an employee, consultant, subcontractor, Staff or part of the Development Team of the other party in the provision of such Services.

We amend these Terms from time to time. Upon, either: (a) a new Statement of Work being entered into; or (b) an existing Statement of Work being amended or changed in any way, the version of these terms and conditions which are set out at https://d3r.com/terms-of-business at such time shall apply to the relevant Statement of Work and all other Statements of Work in place between Customer and Supplier.

Subject to Clause 31.2, neither party shall assign, novate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any or all of its rights and/or obligations under an Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (which may be withheld in that party's absolute discretion).

The Supplier may enter into any sub-contract with any third party for the performance of its obligations under an Agreement without the prior written consent of the Customer. Any such sub-contract shall not excuse Supplier from performing its obligations under an Agreement.

Any notice of termination required to be given under an Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by recorded delivery to the relevant party at its address given above or as otherwise specified by notice from time to time. Any other notice or other communication required to be given under an Agreement shall be validly given if sent by e-mail without receipt of failure message.

Each Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England.

The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with an Agreement or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).
