8. USE OF THE SERVICES
8.1 The Services. Subject to you purchasing the User Subscriptions (as defined in Clause 8.2) in accordance with these Terms, we hereby grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right, without the right to grant sublicences, to permit the Authorised Users (as defined in Clause 8.2) to use the Services during the Subscription Term (as defined in Clause 8.3) solely for your internal business operations. We shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to make the Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for emergency unplanned outages and in which case we shall use all reasonable endeavours to give you advance warning although this will not always be possible.
8.2 Fees. Fees are stated at the time you subscribe for the Services and are on a per user basis (each a User Subscription) and must be allocated by you to those employees, agents and independent contractors who are authorised by you to use the Services (each an Authorised User).
8.3 Duration of the contract. The duration of your contract with you us depends on the type of your subscription plan (Subscription Term).
(a) If you choose our annual subscription plan with one up-front-fee per User Subscription, our contract with you will remain in place for 12 months from the date of our confirmation email. You must give us at least 30 days’ notice before the end of the respective 12 month term to terminate the contract. If you do not give us such termination notice, the contract between you and us will automatically roll-over at the end of that 12 months’ term for an additional 12 months’ term. If you want to end this contract before the end of its respective 12 months’ term when we are not at fault and you do not have the right to cancel it, you can still do so by letting us know in writing. If sufficient notice is given, the contract will end 1 calendar month after the day on which you ask us to end it, but you will have to pay us compensation for the loss we incur as a result of your ending the contract early. By way of compensation, we will retain all subscription fees already paid to us for such annual subscription plan.
(b) If you choose our subscription plan with monthly instalments per User Subscription, our contract with you will remain in place for the minimum term of 1 month from the date of our confirmation email, and thereafter shall automatically renew on a month-to-month fixed term basis until you give us at least 7 days’ notice before the end of each 1 month term to terminate the contract. If sufficient notice is given, the contract will end at the end of such month and your subscription shall not be renewed. You will not incur any early termination liability and you will receive no refund of any subscription fees paid.
8.4 Authorised Users. In relation to the Authorised Users, you warrant and represent to us:
(a) that the maximum number of Authorised Users that you authorise to access and use the Services shall not exceed the number of User Subscriptions you have purchased from time to time;
(b) that you will not allow or suffer any User Subscription to be used by more than one individual Authorised User unless it has been reassigned in its entirety to another individual Authorised User, in which case the prior Authorised User shall no longer have any right to access or use the Services; and
(c) that if in the event that you have underpaid fees to us, then without prejudice to our other rights, you shall as soon as practicable pay to us an amount equal to such underpayment as calculated in accordance with the prices set out in our App.
8.5 You may end a contract if we break it. You may end any contract with us at any time by contacting us if we break these Terms materially or repeatedly, and, if what we have done can be put right, we fail to put it right after you have notified us of that breach and given us a reasonable opportunity to do so. If you end any contract because we break it, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss you incur because of us breaking such contract.
8.6 Third party websites. Our App or the Services may contain links to other independent websites which are not provided by us. Such independent sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for and have not checked and approved their content or their privacy policies (if any). You will need to make your own independent judgement about whether to use any such independent sites, including whether to buy any products or services offered by them.
8.7 Circumstances beyond the control of us or you. If the event of any failure by either of us due to something outside of the respective party’s reasonable control, then that party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable, and the party’s obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid.

14.4 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of these Terms.
14.5 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
14.6 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
14.7 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in the English courts. If you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
14.8 Alternative dispute resolution. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. You can submit a complaint to CEDR (or the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) via their website at https://www.cedr.com/. CEDR will not charge you for making a complaint and if you are not satisfied with the outcome you can still bring legal proceedings.
