5.12.     This paragraph 5 is subordinate to any applicable Payment Scheme Rules or rules of companies and financial institutions and to any applicable law.  You will be bound to the terms and conditions to which the Fraud Detection Party is bound in its relations with any payment schemes and companies and financial institutions, should those terms and conditions affect the Fraud Screening Services.  Accordingly, we reserve the right (at any time) to alter the terms and conditions of the Agreement to reflect any change(s) to the terms and conditions of the Payment Schemes and companies and financial institutions (to the extent they affect the provision of the Fraud Screening Services) upon providing you with written notice of such change(s).  In the event that such change(s) result in a material change to the Fraud Screening Services or otherwise adversely affect the contractual arrangements between us in a material manner then you will be entitled to terminate the Fraud Screening Services upon providing us with 90 days prior written notice at any time.

 

5.13.     Either party may terminate the Fraud Screening Services in accordance with any other provision of the Agreement or by giving to the other at least 90 days’ written notice, such notice not to expire before the last day of the Initial Term.

 

 

Token Service

 

5.14.     In consideration of payment of the applicable Fee, we will provide you with the Token Service.  You are responsible for obtaining the appropriate consent from your Customer for us to retain their payment card data to enable us to provide you with the Token Service.

 

5.15.     We will not retain sensitive authentication data and, subject to paragraph 5.16, we will not give you access to the payment card information (we will merely provide you with Token information).

 

5.16.     If you or we discontinue the Token Service for any reason at our sole discretion we may, following your reasonable request and subject to:

 

5.16.1.                  the written authorisation of your Merchant Acquirer and/or the applicable Payment Schemes as the case may be; and

 

5.16.2.                  you paying to us any outstanding Fees and any additional Fees we charge for this Service, transfer any payment card data to you or your new payment services provider that we have held on your behalf as part of the Token Service provided that you or your new payment services provider (as the case may be) hold applicable PCI DSS compliance validation from a PCI Security Standards Council certified Qualified Security Assessor and by making such a request you promise to us that you or your new payment services provider (as the case may be) holds the applicable PCI DSS compliance validation and you will provide us with that compliance validation certificate. You agree to fully indemnify us for any loss or damage that we may incur as a result of us transferring the payment card information to you under this paragraph 5.16.  In the absence of any request by you under paragraph 5.16 within 21 days of your discontinuance of the Token Service we will have no further obligation to you in this respect.

 

5.17.     If we agree to transfer data to you in accordance with paragraph 5.16, we will do so in a secure manner and in such format as we reasonably determine.  You also agree to sign any additional documentation that we might require to confirm that we have transferred the payment card information to you and that confirms that from the point of transfer you are solely responsible for that card payment information.

 

6.    Cardholder Present Solution

 

6.1. This paragraph 6 applies if we have agreed to supply you with the Cardholder Present Solution.  If you are a business to which Consumer Credit Laws apply, then the Regulated Terms apply to you in addition to the terms and conditions set out in this paragraph 6. 

 

6.2. In consideration of you paying to us the applicable Fees in accordance with paragraph 11, we will supply you with the Terminals for the Initial Hire Term (unless this Agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms) and thereafter until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, such termination to take effect no earlier than the expiry of the Initial Hire Term. 

 

6.3. Following the commencement of the Initial Hire Term, we will dispatch the Terminals to your address noted at the beginning of this Agreement or such other of your premises agreed by us using first class post or such other delivery method we approve from time to time.  If we quote any dates for the delivery of Terminals, you agree that they are for guidance only and whilst we will aim to meet those dates, we will not be liable if we do not achieve those dates.  On delivery of the Terminals, it is your responsibility to install the Terminals for use at the agreed premises in accordance with the installation guide and other documentation or instructions that we provide to you.  You are responsible for ensuring that installation takes place promptly following delivery so that you are able to receive the full benefit of the Cardholder Present Solution during the Hire Term.

 

6.4. You agree only to use and operate the Terminals in accordance with any user guide and any other documentation or written instructions that we provide you with in relation to those Terminals from time to time whilst you continue to hire the Terminals and you will only use and store the Terminals in those premises you have previously notified to us in writing and which we have consented to.

 

6.5. The risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction of each of the Terminals passes to you on delivery to your premises. The Terminals remain at your sole risk for the full period during which the Terminals are in your possession, custody or control until such time as the Terminal is returned to us.  During this period you must ensure that the Terminals are kept at all times safely and securely and maintained in good working order and that the Terminals, their components and component software are not altered, amended, disassembled, tampered or otherwise interfered with or otherwise accessed or used in any unauthorised way.

 

6.6. The Terminals at all times remain our or our licensors’ (as applicable) property and you have no right, title or interest in or to the Terminals (save the right to possession and use of the Terminals in accordance with this Agreement).

 

6.7. At your own expense, you will obtain and maintain comprehensive insurance for each of the Terminals to a value not less than their combined full replacement value against all usual risks of loss, damage or destruction by fire, theft or accident, and insurance against such other or further risks relating to the Terminals as may be required by law.

 

6.8. If any Terminal becomes stolen, lost, damaged or otherwise inoperable you will report it to us as soon as you become aware of it. Subject to paragraph 6.9, you will be responsible for paying to us our then current replacement or repair charges (as applicable) in respect of each Terminal which is stolen, lost, damaged or otherwise inoperable, and you will indemnify us from and against any loss, damage, costs and expenses and other liabilities we may incur as a consequence of us hiring the Terminals to you.

 

6.9. Where the Terminal fails as a result of any fault in its hardware or software and such failure is not as a result of your own or any third party’s (excluding the manufacturer’s) act or omission you should promptly return the faulty Terminal to us in accordance with our instructions and we will dispatch a replacement Terminal to you (new or refurbished).  If, after we have received the Terminal we find that its failure was due to your own or any third party’s (excluding the manufacturer’s) act or omission, we reserve the right (at our discretion) to charge you for any repair of that Terminal or for the then current replacement cost. If you do not return the Terminal to us as instructed we will not be responsible to you in relation to your inability to use that Terminal and we also reserve the right to charge you the full replacement value of that Terminal.

 

6.10.     It is your responsibility to have in place all necessary power and telecommunications devices, connections and third-party equipment and other requirements for the proper use and performance of the Terminals and the Cardholder Present Solution (including, for example, ensuring you have appropriate systems and Internet access and any other appropriate equipment as we advise you of from time to time) (“Service Infrastructure”). If you do not have in place and maintain the necessary Service Infrastructure, we will not be responsible to you for your inability to obtain the full benefit of the Cardholder Present Solution, or any part of it, whilst any part of the Service Infrastructure is unavailable. 

 

6.11.     You acknowledge that the Terminals are manufactured by a third-party and we do not warrant that the Terminals will be free from errors, faults or defects.  Subject to your right to a replacement Terminal in paragraph 6.9 and as far as applicable law allows, the Terminals are provided to you “as is” without any condition or warranty of any kind, express or implied, including, any implied warranties of satisfactory quality, fitness for any particular purpose, compliance with description or sample and non-infringement of third party rights, provided that this does not exclude any implied warranties or conditions that (a) we have the right to hire the Terminals to you on the terms of this Agreement; and (b) you will enjoy quiet possession of the Terminals during the Hire Period (subject to our rights under this Agreement or applicable law). 

 

6.12.     We do not warrant that the Terminals will be capable of uninterrupted use. You acknowledge and agree that use of the Terminals is dependent on a number of third party reliances that are outside of our control (for example, the Service Infrastructure).  You also acknowledge and agree that we will not actively notify you that your Terminal has lost connectivity to our payment processing system.  Accordingly, we will not be responsible to you for your inability to use the Cardholder Present Solution and/or the Terminals as a result of: (i) the act or omission of any third party; or (ii) the Service Infrastructure; or (iii) for any other reason outside of our control.

 

6.13.     You will permit us, or our authorised representatives, access to each of your premises where the Terminals are located to inspect, repair, maintain and/or remove those Terminals at all reasonable times. At our reasonable request you will promptly provide us with any assistance we require to benefit from this right.

 

6.14.     If at any time you materially breach the terms of this paragraph 6 and/or fail to pay any Fees due to us for the Cardholder Present Solution, or any part of it, in accordance with paragraph 11, in addition to our other rights under this Agreement, we may:

 

6.14.1.                  suspend provision of the Cardholder Present Solution, or any part of it, until such time as the breach is remedied to our satisfaction and we will be entitled to charge you a reconnection fee for re-commencing provision of the Cardholder Present Solution, or any part of it, which you will pay in accordance with paragraph 11; or

 

6.14.2.                  terminate this Agreement in relation to the Cardholder Present Solution, or any part of it, immediately on written notice.

 

6.15.     Where this Agreement expires or is terminated in relation to:        

 

6.15.1.                  the Cardholder Present Solution; or

 

6.15.2.                  the Terminal Hire; or

 

6.15.3.                  the hire of only a certain number of Terminals, you must deliver those Terminals (which are subject to the expiration or termination) to us in accordance with our instructions at such location as we notify to you within the UK.  You must ensure that all Terminals are delivered to us in good condition and repair.

 

6.16.     If you do not return the Terminals to us in accordance with paragraph 6.15, we will be entitled to enter any premises where the Terminals are located to recover them without incurring liability to you or any third party and to invoice you for any charges we incur as a result of such recovery, which you will pay in accordance with paragraph 11.

 

6.17.     In addition to your obligations under paragraph 6.15, if the agreement between us for the Cardholder Present Solution ends (or if the hiring of one or more of the Terminals ends) before the expiration of the Initial Hire Term then, without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, you will pay to us all sums that would have been due to us for the remainder of such Initial Hire Term and all costs incurred by us in recovering the Terminals from you.

 

6.18.     In addition to our other rights under this Agreement (and, in particular our rights under paragraphs 6.14 and 6.16 above), if:

 

6.18.1.                  we have not received from you the total number of Terminals due to be returned to us within 7 days of the date we stop providing the Cardholder Present Solution to you (or of the date the Hire Term ends in relation to each of those Terminals); or

 

6.18.2.                  we receive Terminals that are not in good repair or which are otherwise defective (otherwise due to the fault of the manufacturer), then we will be entitled to invoice you and you will pay to us an amount equal to the then current replacement value of each of the Terminals: 

 

                                 i.         we have not received within 7 days of the date we stop providing the Cardholder Present Solution to you; or 

 

                                ii.         we have not received within 7 days of the date the Hire Term ends for the applicable Terminals; or

 

                               iii.         you do return to us but which are not in good repair or which are otherwise defective.

 

6.19.     You acknowledge that discrepancies between payments taken via the Terminals and payments appearing in your Merchant Services Account may occur from time to time for a number of reasons, many of which are unrelated to the Cardholder Present Solution and/or the Terminals or are otherwise outside of our control.  You should contact your Merchant Acquirer with any Transaction queries.  It is also your responsibility to:

 

6.19.1.                  promptly verify that credit and debit card payments have appeared in your Merchant Services Account and to reconcile them with Transactions made via the Terminals; and

6.19.2.                  notify us of any potential discrepancy as soon as you become aware of it. 

 

6.20.     On notifying us of any potential discrepancy pursuant to paragraph 6.19.2, we will, where practicable, provide reasonable assistance to help you resolve the discrepancy in accordance with the standard support services we agree to provide to you under this Agreement.  If you fail to notify us of a potential discrepancy within two weeks of its occurrence or if significant reconciliation efforts and/or ad hoc reports are required, we reserve the right to charge you additional professional services costs at our then current charge rates, which will be payable by you in accordance with paragraph 11.

 

6.21.     Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we will transmit to your Merchant Acquirer for settlement  all eligible Transactions to your Merchant Acquirer on a nightly basis or otherwise in accordance with any specific rules you have set up using the functionality within the Terminals (for example, you may, in accordance with the Terminal user guide and other documentation we provide to you, set shift markers via the Terminals to set a time during the day up to which Transactions for that day will be settled and any Transactions after that time are transferred to the next trading day). You acknowledge that where you set-up your own specific rules in relation to the settlement of Transactions, we will transmit to your Merchant Acquirer for settlement  any eligible Transactions in accordance with those rules as soon as reasonably possible afterward. You understand that it is your Merchant Acquirer and not us that is responsible for settlement of Transactions.

 

6.22.     You will ensure that:

 

6.22.1.                  only authorised and trained personnel use the Terminals and the Cardholder Present Solution;

 

6.22.2.                  receipts and cardholder information are stored, and subsequently destroyed, in a secure manner.

 

6.23.     You are responsible for any unauthorised or fraudulent Transactions performed on the Terminals whilst the Terminals are in your possession or under your control.

 

6.24.     You are responsible for your own PCI DSS self-assessment and any applicable legal, regulatory or other compliance requirements relevant to your own business activities and use of the Cardholder Present Solution (or any part of it).

 

6.25.     We are responsible for ensuring the Terminals are compliant with applicable Merchant Acquirer standards and Payment Scheme Rules. 

 

6.26.     From time to time, we will remotely make available software updates for the Terminals to ensure continued compliance with such rules and standards. You must download any relevant updates to the Terminals as they become available or as we otherwise notify you. We will not be responsible for your delay or failure to download and install such updates.

 

6.27.     Subject to paragraphs 12.2 and 12.3 below, our maximum responsibility and liability to you in relation to the supply of the Terminals whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise will be limited to paying you an amount equal to the total amount of Fees you paid to us for Terminal Hire in the 12 months prior to the incident for which we are responsible.

 

6.28.     Each party acknowledges that the allocation of risk and responsibility in this paragraph 6 is reasonable because it reflects:

 

6.28.1.                  that it is not within our control how, and for what purposes, you use the Terminals;

 

6.28.2.                  that the Terminals have not been specifically developed for you;

 

6.28.3.                  that while we follow good industry practice, it is not economically possible for us to exhaustively test the Terminals;

 

 

6.28.4.                  the amount of the Fees paid by you for the Terminal Hire;

 

6.28.5.                  that there are a number of alternative payment methods available to you; and

 

6.28.6.                  that you had a choice to use one of any number of alternative payment suppliers that provide similar services.

 

7.    Opayo Introduced Merchant Services

 

7.1. This paragraph 7 applies only if we have agreed to supply you with Opayo Introduced Merchant Services.  Merchant Services Accounts are provided and administered by the Introduced Merchant Acquirer as an authorised payments institution and not by Opayo.  We do however offer Opayo Introduced Merchant Services where we assist you in applying for a Merchant Services Account with the Introduced Merchant Acquirer and liaise with the Introduced Merchant Acquirer on your behalf.

 

7.2. If you complete the Merchant Service Application Form and submit it to the Introduced Merchant Acquirer (or do so via us), you make a formal application for a Merchant Services Account. You agree to provide accurate information in your application for a Merchant Services Account and that we may rely on this information as being accurate when providing the Opayo Introduced Merchant Services or any related Services.  Any information that you submit on the Merchant Service Application Form will be used in accordance with paragraph 16 and in accordance with the Introduced Merchant Acquirer’s terms and conditions which you should read carefully.

 

7.3. By completing the Merchant Service Application Form, you acknowledge and agree that, should your application be successful, you will be entering into a direct contractual relationship with (and agreeing to pay applicable fees) to the Introduced Merchant Acquirer (or its agent) for your merchant services as well as a separate direct contractual relationship with us for our own Services. Accordingly, you agree to comply with this Agreement and all of the Introduced Merchant Acquirer’s terms and conditions.

 

7.4. You should ensure that your Merchant Service Application Form is fully completed before you submit it to the Introduced Merchant Acquirer. You must immediately inform the Introduced Merchant Acquirer directly if you wish to amend the details contained in your Merchant Service Application Form.

 

7.5. The Introduced Merchant Acquirer reserves the right to reject any applications and, if you subsequently enter into a merchant services agreement with the Introduced Merchant Acquirer, it may terminate your merchant services agreement at any time in accordance with its terms and conditions. You understand that the Introduced Merchant Acquirer (not us) decides whether or not to approve your application and may terminate your Merchant Services Account in accordance with its own terms and conditions. If your Merchant Services Account is terminated for any reason the Opayo Introduced Merchant Services will also terminate automatically and you must immediately pay to us all Fees due in relation to Opayo Introduced Merchant Services for the remainder of the Initial Term. Termination of any Opayo Introduced Merchant Services will not affect the delivery of any other Services under this Agreement (which will continue unaffected unless a party terminates those Services as otherwise provided under this Agreement).

 

7.6. Our ability to provide Opayo Introduced Merchant Services is conditional upon you obtaining a Merchant Services Account and retaining it throughout the duration of the Opayo Introduced Merchant Services.

 

7.7. If your application for a Merchant Services Account is successful, the Introduced Merchant Acquirer will, in accordance with its terms and conditions, provide you with a Merchant Services Account and settle all funds, manage all Chargebacks, risk, fraud and financial adjustments in accordance with its terms and conditions. The Introduced Merchant Acquirer will also administer your Merchant Services Account directly and invoice you for all fees associated with that Merchant Services Account. Accordingly, it will be necessary for you to complete a second direct debit mandate (available from the Introduced Merchant Acquirer) which will apply to the Introduced Merchant Acquirer’s own fees.

 

8.    Third party products or services

 

8.1. During the Term, we may from time to time introduce you to third party products or services which may be of interest to you, such as services allowing you to process Transactions with your Customers using additional payment methods.  If we do this you agree that:

 

8.1.1.   any third-party products or services are the responsibility of that third party;

 

8.1.2.   we do not endorse or recommend the third party’s products or services and you should check whether they are suitable for your needs;

 

8.1.3.   you will enter into a direct contractual relationship with the third party for the product or service subject to the third party’s terms and conditions and you may be liable to pay fees directly to them; and

 

8.1.4.   we are not liable for the third party’s products or services or for any delay in or non-performance of the Services which is caused by such the third party or their products or services.

 

8.2. We may also from time to time use other organisations to help us provide all or part of the Services, including by subcontracting the provision of the Services to other organisations.  Where we do this, we will take reasonable steps to ensure the suitability of those organisations.

 

9.    Confidentiality

 

9.1. Subject to the following, each party will keep confidential all Confidential Information and only use it for the purpose of exercising or performing its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

 

9.2. Each party may disclose Confidential Information to its Representatives, provided that:

 

9.2.1.   it makes such Representatives aware of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the terms of this paragraph 9; and

 

9.2.2.   the recipient establishes and maintains adequate security measures to safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorised access or use; and

 

9.2.3.   the recipient remains liable to the discloser for any breach of this Agreement by its Representatives.  

 

9.3. The provisions of paragraph 9.1 will not apply to information which:

9.3.1.   is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of its disclosure by the recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement; or

 

9.3.2.   was available to the recipient on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the other party; or

 

9.3.3.   was, is or becomes available to the recipient on a non-confidential basis from a person who, to the recipient's knowledge, is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the other party or otherwise prohibited from disclosing the Confidential Information to the recipient; or

 

9.3.4.   was lawfully in the possession of the recipient before the Confidential Information was disclosed to it by the other party; or

 

9.3.5.   is developed by or for the recipient independently of the Confidential Information disclosed by the discloser.

 

9.4. Nothing in this Agreement will restrict either party from disclosing any Confidential Information pursuant to a judicial or other lawful statutory or regulatory obligation, to the extent that such party is obliged to make such a disclosure.  Where possible, the recipient will inform the discloser in advance that it is making such a disclosure. 

 

9.5. All Confidential Information will remain the property of the discloser and no right or licence is granted in respect of the Confidential Information except as otherwise set out in this Agreement.

 

9.6. Each party will return to the other party and/or securely destroy all Confidential Information (including copies thereof) on written request from the other party subject to any legal or regulatory obligation to retain records and, if requested, will certify in writing (signed by a director of the party) that this has been done.

 

9.7. This paragraph 9 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

10. Copyright and related rights

 

10.1.     We or our licensors reserve all copyright, intellectual property rights and other rights throughout the world in the Services and to any information, idea, design, computer program, database, textual, graphical or other material comprised in the Services, or otherwise provided by us in relation to this Agreement or developed by us or on our behalf and to our Logo.

Where this Agreement terminates part way through any calendar month you acknowledge that you must pay the whole monthly fee for that calendar month.

 

11.3.     Some Services are limited to a Transaction threshold or other use limit.  You agree that if you exceed any Transaction threshold or other use limit for the pricing plan that you have signed up for, your account will automatically be upgraded to the next higher pricing plan and you must pay the Fees associated with that upgraded pricing plan as detailed on our website or otherwise notified to you from time to time.

 

11.4.     Unless agreed in writing with us, you agree to sign a direct debit mandate to allow the Fees and any amount owed by you to us to be debited directly from your bank account in accordance with the regulations imposed under the BACS scheme.  You agree to keep such mandate in place until termination of this Agreement and all monies due to us have been paid in full.

11.7.2.                  you are responsible for ensuring that your systems, processes and controls are VAT compliant to allow the receipt of electronic invoices in your member state; and

11.8.2.                   (except where the invoice or direct debit is incorrect) charge and recover interest from you on the sum of the outstanding invoice or direct debit calculated at a compound rate of two per cent per month from the due date until the date of full payment; and

12.1.     Subject to paragraphs 6.27, 12.2 and 12.3 below, our maximum responsibility and liability to you our maximum responsibility and liability to you in relation to this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, will be limited to paying you an amount equal to the total amount of Fees you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the incident for which we are responsible.

 

12.2.     Subject to paragraph 12.3, we will not be responsible for any of the following however caused and even if we knew or should have known there was a possibility you could experience the problem and in each case whether suffered by you directly or indirectly:

 

12.2.1.                  loss of profits, business, Customers, contracts, revenue, estimated savings, chargeable time or goodwill or wasted expenditure;

 

12.2.2.                  any interruption to your business (including interruption to Service) or loss of or damage to information or data, however that interruption, loss or damage is caused;

12.2.4.                  loss or damage you suffer as a result of using any third party products or services;

 

12.2.5.                  loss or damage you suffer as a result of our suspension or termination of the Services (or any part of them) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and

13. How long does this Agreement last and how can it be terminated?

 

13.1.     This Agreement will commence on the Commencement Date and will continue in force for the Initial Term and thereafter unless terminated in accordance with any other provision of this Agreement or by either party giving to the other at least 30 days’ written notice to terminate the Agreement, provided that the earliest that such notice will take effect is expiry of the Initial Term unless you have agreed with us to take any applicable Services for a longer period, in which case you may not terminate the Agreement in respect of those particular Services until after the expiry of the relevant period by providing us with 30 days’ written notice of termination.

 

13.2.     Except where an application is made to court, or an order is made, for the appointment of an administrator or an administrator is appointed over the other party (or something similar happens), this Agreement will automatically (i.e. without either party having to tell the other) and immediately end without refund if either party (i) becomes bankrupt (or something similar happens); or (ii) is not able to pay its debts; or (iii) becomes insolvent (or something similar happens). In those circumstances neither party will have any further obligation to the other under this Agreement except that any monies due from either party to the other shall become immediately due and payable. For the avoidance of doubt, any transfer by us of our business and therefore, this Agreement in accordance with paragraph 18.3, shall not trigger any automatic termination under this paragraph 13.2.

 

13.3.     Notwithstanding any other rights or remedies we may have, we may terminate this Agreement (or any part of it) or suspend the Services (or any part of them) with immediate effect following written notice to you if:

13.3.6.                  we reasonably suspect or have evidence that there might be fraudulent or illegal activity in connection with your use of the Services or your account with us; or

13.3.8.                  the Introduced Merchant Acquirer or any other bank, credit card acquirer or other third party with which you have a merchant agreement declines to offer or continue to provide merchant services for any reason or you are investigated by the Introduced Merchant Acquirer or any other bank, credit card issuer or other third party under its Payment Scheme Rules or you have failed to comply with those Payment Scheme Rules. 

 

13.4.     Notwithstanding any other rights or remedies you may have, you may terminate this Agreement (or any part of it) with immediate effect following written notice to us if we commit a material breach of this Agreement, which is capable of remedy, has not been remedied to your reasonable satisfaction within 14 days of your written notice to us to do so, or we persistently breach any of the terms of this Agreement.

 

13.5.     Where we have stopped providing the Services pursuant to paragraph 13.3 we may at our sole discretion agree to recommence the Services at any time following your request and subject to such terms and conditions that we may specify from time to time.

13.6.4.                  we will stop using your logo and no longer refer to you as an Opayo merchant and we will return to you all information, sales, marketing and other materials and documents that you have provided to us and that is in our possession; and

 

13.6.5.                  we may agree to provide reasonable assistance to you in any handover to a new service provider, subject to your payment of our then current charges for such assistance.

 

13.7.     Termination of this Agreement will not prejudice any of the parties' rights and remedies which have accrued as at termination and any provisions which expressly or by implication survive termination will continue in full force and effect.

 

14. Service adjustments

 

From time to time we may adjust the content and interfaces of the Services, make changes to the Services which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation or Payment Scheme Rule, or make changes which do not materially affect the nature and quality of the Services.  If such adjustments or changes lead to a change in the software, interfaces or operating procedures, we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable via our website or other notification method we consider appropriate given the nature of the changes.

 

15. Service availability

 

15.1.     Whilst we aim to provide continuous access to the Services unfortunately, given the nature of the Services, we cannot guarantee that they will be uninterrupted or error free.

 

15.2.     Wherever possible, we will provide advance warning (for example, on our website) of any known or planned interruptions and we will try to ensure any interruption is kept as brief as possible. 

 

15.3.     If circumstances happen beyond our reasonable control, we will not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations under this Agreement because of those circumstances, and we will be excused from that failure for so long as those circumstances continue. Interruptions caused by factors outside our control may include: failure of our or your internet service provider, a distributed denial of service attack (where hackers overload networks with data in an effort to disable them) or an issue with your Merchant Acquirer.
