The Customer shall, within five (5) Business Days of the Supplier’s response, confirm its acceptance or rejection of the Additional Terms. Where the Customer approves the Additional Terms, the parties shall execute a variation to this Agreement incorporating the Additional Terms in accordance with clause 17 and the Supplier shall commence providing the Additional Services in accordance with such variation and the provisions of the Agreement.
    4. If the Supplier approves the Customer’s request to purchase additional Subscriptions or the Customer agrees to the Additional Terms for the provision of Additional Services by the Supplier, the Customer shall, on receipt of the Supplier’s invoice, pay to the Supplier the relevant fees for such additional Subscriptions as set out in the Order Form or in the Additional Terms respectively. Alternatively, if the Customer is paying their Subscription Fees by credit card pursuant to clause 9.2.1, the Supplier shall be entitled to bill that credit card for the relevant amount on the date that the additional Subscriptions are activated or the date on which the Customer accepts the Supplier’s Additional Terms. If such additional Subscriptions or Additional Services are purchased by the Customer part way through the Initial Subscription Term or any Renewal Period (as applicable), such fees shall be pro-rated from the date of activation by the Supplier for the remainder of the Initial Subscription Term or then current Renewal Period (as applicable).

    12. The above provisions of this clause 11 shall survive termination of the Agreement, however arising.
  12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
    1. Except as expressly and specifically provided in the Agreement:
      1. the Customer assumes sole responsibility for results obtained from the use of the Services by the Customer and for conclusions drawn from such use. No information, advice or services obtained by the Customer from the Supplier or through the Software shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these terms. The Supplier shall have no liability for any damage caused by errors or omissions in any information, instructions or scripts provided to the Supplier by the Customer in connection with the Services, or any actions taken by the Supplier at the Customer’s direction;
      2. all warranties, representations, conditions and all other terms of any kind whatsoever implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, excluded from the Agreement; and
      3. the Services are provided to the Customer on an “as is” basis.
    2. Nothing in the Agreement excludes the liability of the Supplier, for death or personal injury caused by the Supplier’s negligence; or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
    3. Subject to clause 12.1 and clause 12.2:
      1. the Supplier shall not be liable whether in tort (including for negligence or breach of statutory duty), contract, misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise for any loss of profits, sales, business or revenue, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business opportunity or reputation, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses, loss or corruption of data or information, or pure economic loss, or for any special, indirect or consequential loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses however arising under the Agreement, whether or not such loss or damage is foreseeable, foreseen or known; and
      2. the Supplier’s total aggregate liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise, arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of the Agreement shall be limited to the total Subscription Fees paid for the Subscriptions during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the date on which the claim arose.
    4. In the defence or settlement of any claim brought against the Supplier, the Supplier may procure the right for the Customer to continue using the Services, replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate the Agreement on two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Customer without any additional liability or obligation to pay liquidated damages or other additional costs to the Customer beyond that provided at clause 13.5.
    5. The Software interacts with social media websites and depends on the availability of those websites and the features and functionality they make available to the Supplier, which the Supplier does not control and may change without notice. If at any time a social media website ceases making some or all of its features or functionality available to the Supplier, or available to the Supplier on reasonable terms as determined by the Supplier in its sole discretion, the Software may no longer interact with those features or functionality and the Supplier will not be liable to the Customer or any third party for any resulting changes to the Software and/or Services. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall include circumstances where a social media website modifies its terms and conditions such that the interaction of the Software with some or all of its features and functionality becomes in breach of those terms and conditions. In the event of any such developments as envisaged by this clause the Supplier may also elect, at its sole discretion, to terminate the Agreement on two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Customer without any additional liability or obligation to pay liquidated damages or other additional costs to the Customer beyond that provided at clause 13.5.
    6. In no event shall the Supplier, its employees, agents and sub-contractors be liable to the Customer for any claims, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, expenses or costs (including without limitation court costs and legal fees) to the extent that they arise out of or in connection with:
      1. a modification of the Services by anyone other than the Supplier; or
      2. the Customer’s use of the Services in a manner contrary to the instructions given to the Customer by the Supplier; or
      3. the Customer’s use of the Services after notice of an alleged or actual infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights or the Data Protection Legislation, whether from the Supplier or any appropriate authority.
