contingencies (including but not limited to the prior payment of
any fees due to the Service Provider or such other charges
necessary), provide the Subscriber with a final extract of the
Subscriber Data in the format specified by the Subscriber. The

- Term:
- Force Majeure
- “Force Majeure”
shall mean any unforeseeable, insurmountable or exceptional
situation or event (such as floods, earthquakes, wars,
insurrections, pandemics, and other similar events) beyond the
control of the Parties which prevents either of them from totally
or partially performing any of their obligations under the
Agreement and which was not due to error or negligence on their
part or on the part of a subcontractor and could not have been
avoided by the exercise of due diligence. Labour disputes, strikes
or financial problems cannot be invoked as force majeure unless they stem directly from a relevant case of force majeure. - Without prejudice to the provisions above, if either Party is faced with
force majeure, it shall notify the other Party without delay stating the nature,
likely duration, and foreseeable effects of the force majeure event. - No Party shall be held in breach of its contractual obligations under
the Agreement if it has been prevented from performing such
obligations by reason of force majeure.
Where a party is unable to perform its contractual obligations owing to force majeure,
it shall have the right to remuneration only for tasks actually
executed, where applicable. - The Parties shall take the necessary measures to reduce the damage
arising from a force majeure event to the best possible minimum. - If the performance by either Party of any of its obligations under the
Agreement is prevented or delayed by force majeure for
a continuous period in excess of ninety (90) days, the other Party
shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement by giving written
notice to that effect to the Party affected by the force majeure. - The performance of the Agreement shall, unless terminated in accordance
with the Agreement, resume upon the immediate abatement of the
force majeure event.

representations to the contrary to a third party. The Agreement is
not intended to create any employer-employee or agency relationship

Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, the Agreement supersedes and
replaces any other prior agreement between the parties, whether oral or written or implied by them. - Severability:

Agreement shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or legality of the other provisions in the Agreement. - Modifications and Amendments:

Sheet shall be effective unless it is put into writing and agreed upon between
the parties. However, the Subscriber reserves the right to amend and modify the provisions of these Standard Terms and Conditions where necessary. - Delay in Enforcement:
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or
privilege provided in the Agreement shall operate as a waiver. A
single or partial exercise of such right, power, or privilege shall
not prevent the Party from further exercise of them or of any other
right, power, or privilege provided for in the Agreement. - Assignment:
The Service Provider may transfer or assign its rights and
obligations under the Agreement to another organisation, provided
such will not affect the rights of the Subscriber or the Service

only transfer its rights or its obligations under the Agreement to
another person or entity upon the prior written approval of the
Service Provider. - No Third-party Beneficiaries:
Except where the context admits, the Agreement is not intended to,
nor shall it create any rights, claims, or benefits enforceable by
any person who is not a party to the Agreement. No consent of
any person who is not a party to the Agreement shall be required to
amend any term of the Agreement or release, settle or compromise
any liability under it. - Counterparts:
The Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original but all which, when taken
together, shall constitute one and the same document. Signatures
provided by electronic means shall create a valid and binding

effect as if such signatures were an original thereof.
