paid by the Customer to the Supplier, the Supplier grants to the Customer a non-exclusive licence,
non-transferable and limited licence to use the Software during the Licence Term (unless earlier
terminated in accordance with the terms of this Licence).

3.2 In relation to scope of use:


(a) for the purposes of clause 3.1, use of the Software shall be restricted to use of the
Software in object code form in the manner specified in the Order Form for the purpose
of processing the Customer's data for the normal business purposes of the Customer
(which shall not include allowing the use of the Software by, or for the benefit of, any
person other than an employee of the Customer). For the avoidance of doubt, the
Customer shall not share or allow unauthorised use, or access to the licence key.
(b) the Customer may not use the Software other than as specified in clause 3.1 and clause

(c) except as expressly stated in this clause 3, the Customer has no right (and shall not permit
any third party) to copy, adapt, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, adapt
or make error corrections to the Software in whole or in part except to the extent that any
reduction of the Software to human readable form (whether by reverse engineering,
decompilation or disassembly) is necessary for the purposes of integrating the operation
of the Software with the operation of other software or systems used by the Customer,
unless the Supplier is prepared to carry out such action at a reasonable commercial fee
or has provided the information necessary to achieve such integration within a reasonable
period, and the Customer shall request the Supplier to carry out such action or to provide
such information (and shall meet the Supplier's reasonable costs in providing that
information) before undertaking any such reduction.

3.3 The Customer may not use any such information provided by the Supplier or obtained by the
Customer during any such reduction permitted under clause 3.2(c) to create any software whose
expression is substantially similar to that of the Software nor use such information in any manner

(a) sub-license, assign or novate the benefit or burden of this licence in whole or in part;
(b) allow the Software to become the subject of any charge, lien or encumbrance; and

any or all of its rights and obligations under this Licence, provided it gives written notice to the
Customer.

3.6 Notwithstanding clause 6, a party assigning any or all of its rights under this Licence may disclose
to a proposed assignee any information in its possession that relates to this Licence or its subject
matter, the negotiations relating to it and the other party which is reasonably necessary to disclose

Software and its users, and produce such record to the Supplier on request from time to
time;

subcontractors abide by the terms of this Licence. For the avoidance of any doubt, the
Customer shall fully indemnify the Supplier from the Customer’s employees, agents,
suppliers, third parties and subcontractors who fail to comply with the terms of this
Licence;
(d) notify the Supplier as soon as it becomes aware of any unauthorised use of the Software
by any person;
(e) pay, for broadening the scope of the licences granted under this licence to cover the
unauthorized use, an amount equal to the fees which the Supplier would have levied (in
accordance with its normal commercial terms then current) had it licensed any such
unauthorised use on the date when such use commenced together with interest at the
rate provided for in clause 5.3, from such date to the date of payment.

3.8 The Customer shall permit the Supplier to inspect and have access to any premises (and to the
computer equipment located there) at or on which the Software is being kept or used, and have
access to any records kept in connection with this licence, for the purposes of ensuring that the
Customer is complying with the terms of this licence, provided that the Supplier provides reasonable
advance notice to the Customer of such inspections, which shall take place at reasonable times.
This clause shall survive the termination of this License Agreement.

3.9 The Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that all its existing equipment used to access the
Software is safe and secure. The Supplier accepts no liability for interruption of supply of electricity
or telecommunications or interruption of business occasioned as a result of the supply of the

its data and ensure a regular backup arrangement is implemented prior to, during and after the
Supplier’s provision of the Software.

or delay to perform any of its obligations as set out in this Licence and the Order Form.

promptly after receipt. If the Customer fails to install a Maintenance Release, the Supplier shall not
be responsible for any liability arising out of or in connection with the Customer’s failure to install
such Maintenance Release.

for which the Customer shall be responsible if applicable. The Customer shall pay any stamp duties
or similar transfer taxes imposed on the supplies made under this Licence and shall reimburse the
Supplier for any such stamp duties or similar transfer taxes paid by the Supplier. If the Customer is
required to make any deduction for or on account of tax from any payment due under this Licence
(Tax Deduction):

(a) The Customer shall account to the relevant tax authority for such Tax Deduction and shall
provide evidence to the Supplier that it has so accounted.

(b) The amount of the payment due under this Licence shall be increased so that the Supplier
receives an amount equal to the amount that would have been received by it, had the
Customer not been required to make any Tax Deduction.

5.3 If the Customer fails to make any payment due to the Supplier under this Licence by the due date
for payment, unless the Customer has notified the Supplier in writing that such payment is in dispute
within ten (10) days of the receipt of the corresponding invoice then, without limiting the Supplier's
remedies under clause 12, the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 5%
per annum above Bank of England’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a
daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after
judgment. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

5.4 The Supplier reserves the right to increase the Fees as follows:
(a) any increase in the consumer price index which impacts the Supplier’s costs in performing
its obligations under this Licence whereby the Fees may be increased by the same
percentage as the increase in the consumer price index, such change shall be applied
annually on the anniversary of the Commencement Date;
(b) on giving the Customer thirty-five (35) days’ notice, on each anniversary of the
Commencement Date. If the Customer does not agree with the increase made pursuant
to this clause 5.4, then the Customer may terminate this Licence upon thirty (30) days
written notice and before such price increase takes effect. If the Supplier does not receive
written notice within thirty (30) days, the Customer is deemed to have agreed to the
amendment to the Fees.

professional advisers to examine them and to take copies (at the Supplier's expense) for
the purpose of assessing the Claim; and

satisfaction against any claim, liability, costs, expenses, damages or losses which may be
incurred, taking such action as the Supplier may reasonably request to avoid, dispute,
compromise or defend the Claim.

the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree a replacement provision that, to the greatest extent
possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.
