The Customer shall report any alleged non-conformance of the warranty contained in this clause 4.1 to InteleXVision in writing during the Product Warranty Period.

- Where the Order relates to the performance of Professional Services, InteleXVision hereby grants to the Customer a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use any Work Product for the sole purpose of receiving the benefit of the Product (including, where applicable, any product purchased under an associated order between InteleXVision and the Customer) and/or the Professional Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
- The Customer hereby grants to InteleXVision a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use or incorporate into the Product and Documentation any enhancement requests or feedback provided by the Customer, so long as the Customer is not identified in any way as the source of such feedback. For the avoidance of doubt, InteleXVision shall not be obliged to implement any such enhancement request or feedback.
11. Fees and Payment
- The Customer shall pay the Fees to InteleXVision in accordance with this clause 11 and the terms of the Order.

- The Customer shall pay all sums due to InteleXVision in cleared funds (in the currency specified in the Order) into the bank account nominated by InteleXVision.
- All sums due to InteleXVision under or in relation to this Agreement are exclusive of any Sales Tax which shall be charged in addition in accordance with the relevant regulations in force at the time of making the relevant taxable supply and shall be paid by the Customer in full at the same time as payment is due under the relevant invoice.
- If the Customer is or may be required under any law or regulation of any governmental entity or authority, domestic or foreign, to withhold or deduct any portion of any payment due to InteleXVision pursuant to this Agreement and InteleXVision is unable to reclaim or recover that deduction through the exercise of reasonable efforts, then the sum payable to InteleXVision shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to InteleXVision an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no withholdings or deductions been made.
- If the Customer fails to make any payment in accordance with this Agreement, then InteleXVision shall (without prejudice to its other rights and remedies) be entitled to charge interest on the overdue amount at the lesser of the maximum rate allowed by law or a rate of 4% per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time in force, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.

- The Receiving Party may disclose any Confidential Information to any regulator, law enforcement agency or other third party if it is required to do so by law, regulation, or similar authority.

- All Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party and the Disclosing Party reserves all rights in its Confidential Information. Nothing in this Agreement or the disclosures envisaged by this Agreement shall (except as expressly agreed otherwise in this Agreement) operate to transfer, or operate as a grant of any licences or right to use, any Intellectual Property Rights in the Confidential Information.
- Each party acknowledges that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy in the event of a breach by the other party of the provisions of this clause 12. Accordingly, it is agreed that either party shall be entitled, without proof of special damages, to seek an injunction or other interim remedy for any threatened or actual breach of this clause 12 by the other party, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies which that first party may have.

- The Customer shall provide InteleXVision prompt notice of any actual or threatened IPR Claim;
- The Customer shall not admit any liability or agree to any settlement or compromise of an IPR Claim without the prior written consent of InteleXVision;

- The Customer takes all reasonable steps to mitigate any liabilities which are the subject of the indemnity in this clause 1.

- Modify or replace the infringing part of the Product, Documentation and/or Work Product (as applicable) so as to avoid the infringement or alleged infringement, but in such a way that does not materially adversely affect the functionality of the Product and/or Work Product (as applicable); and/or
- Terminate this Agreement and refund Fees paid in advance by the Customer in respect of any period following such termination. For the purposes of this clause 2.3, where the Order relates to the licensing of a Product and the Licence Term is perpetual, Licence Fees paid in advance shall be refunded on a Five Year Straight-line Basis.
- Under no circumstances shall InteleXVision be liable to the Customer under clause 1 or 13.2 (or otherwise) to the extent that the infringement (whether actual or threatened) is based on:

- Any use of the Product, Documentation and/or Work Product (as applicable) in combination with any software or hardware not supplied by InteleXVision and/or not supported in the Documentation (including any End Customer Systems); and/or

14. Limitation of Liability

- For death or personal injury caused by negligence;
- For fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by it or its employees;
- Under the indemnities in clause 13;
- In respect of the Customer, for the Customer’s obligation to pay any Fees; or

- For liability arising out of or in connection with the Product: (i) where the Licence Term is perpetual, 25% of the total aggregate value of the Licence Fees; or (ii) where the Licence Term is not perpetual, in respect of any and all causes of action arising in the relevant Year, 100% of the Licence Fees paid or payable by the Customer to InteleXVision in relation to that Year (or, for causes of action that first arise after expiry or termination of this Agreement, the value of the Licence Fees paid or payable by the Customer to InteleXVision in the final Year), in each case the “Product Cap”;

- For the purposes of calculating liability pursuant to clauses 2.1(ii) and 14.2.2, where a cause of action arises in a Year and continues across subsequent Years and/or continues after the expiry or termination of this Agreement, then the cause of action shall be deemed to have arisen only in the Year in which such cause of action first arose.
- Subject to clause 1, neither party shall be liable whether in tort (including for negligence), breach of statutory duty, contract, misrepresentation (whether innocent or negligent), restitution or otherwise for:
- Any loss of profits, loss of business, loss of savings, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses, or pure economic loss or any loss or corruption of data or information (regardless of whether these types of loss or damage are direct, indirect or consequential); or

in each case however arising under or in connection with this Agreement and even if the first party was aware of the possibility that such loss or damage might be incurred by the other party.
- Subject to clause 1, InteleXVision shall not be liable whether in tort (including for negligence), breach of statutory duty, contract, misrepresentation (whether innocent or negligent), restitution or otherwise for any interruptions to, and/or errors in, End Customer Systems (including where such interruptions or errors are caused by incompatibility with the Product).
15. Terms and Termination

- Any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of this Agreement which existed at or before the date of termination shall not be affected or prejudiced; and

19. Miscellaneous
- Force Majeure. InteleXVision shall not be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure results from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving the workforce of InteleXVision or any other party), failure of a utility service or transport or telecommunications network or the internet, act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm or default of InteleXVision or sub-contractors.

- No Waiver. The failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that right, power or remedy. If a party waives a right, power or remedy arising as a result of a breach of any provision of this Agreement, this shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy arising as a result of any subsequent breach of that provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
- Cumulative 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.
- Severance. If any provision, or part of a provision, of this Agreement is found by any court or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall be deemed not to form part of this Agreement, and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected, unless otherwise required by operation of applicable law. If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision would be valid, enforceable or legal if some part of it were modified, the provision shall apply with whatever modification is necessary to give effect to the commercial intention of the parties.
- Assignment. Customer shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, charge, declare a trust over or deal in any other manner with this Agreement, or with any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of InteleXVision.

- Subcontracting. InteleXVision may sub-contract the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement without the Customer’s prior written consent. InteleXVision shall be responsible for any acts and omissions of its sub-contractors as if they were InteleXVision’s acts or omissions.
- Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish or constitute any partnership or joint venture between any of the parties, create a relationship of principal and agent for any purpose between the parties, or authorise either party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other party.
- Variation.

- Third Party Rights. A person who is not a party to this Agreement may not enforce any of its provisions under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
- Interpretation. Clause, schedule and paragraph headings shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. A person includes a natural person, corporate or unincorporated body (whether or not having separate legal personality).
