      sufficient remedy for any breach of confidentiality and
      non-disclosure obligations under the Agreement and that a
      disclosing Party may be entitled to the granting of equitable
      relief, including, without limitation, injunction and specific
      performance, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all

        document retention policies and procedures or with the

        or government obligations applicable to the Service Provider,
        provided that to the extent that any Confidential Information is
        so retained, the Service Provider shall continue to be bound by
        the confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations contained in
        the Agreement.
    7. The provisions of this Clause shall survive the termination of the

    claims, provided that:

    1. the Service Provider is given prompt notice of any such claim;
    2. the Subscriber provides reasonable co-operation to the Service Provider
      in the defence and settlement of such claim, at the Service
      Provider’s expense; and
    3. where requested, the Service Provider is given sole authority to defend
      or settle the claim.
  3. In the defence or settlement of any claim, the Service Provider may
    procure the right for the Subscriber 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 this
    Agreement as soon as possible or, in any event, by providing three
    (3) Working Days’ notice to the Subscriber without any additional
    liability or obligation to pay liquidated damages or other
    additional costs to the Subscriber.
  4. In no event shall the Service Provider, its employees, agents, and
    sub-contractors be liable to the Subscriber to the extent that the
    alleged infringement is based on:

    1. a modification of the Services or the Application by anyone other
      than the Service Provider;
    2. the Subscriber’s use of the Services or the Application in a manner
      contrary to the instructions given to the Subscriber by the Service
      Provider; or
    3. the Subscriber’s use of the Services or the Application after notice
      of the alleged or actual infringement from the Service Provider or
      any appropriate authority.
  5. The foregoing states the Subscriber’s sole and exclusive rights and
    remedies, and the Service Provider’s entire obligations and
    liability (including that of the Service Provider’s employees and
    sub-contractors) for infringement of any patent, copyright,
    trademark, database right or right of confidentiality.

        grant the rights granted under the Agreement to the Subscriber;
      2. The Services provided by the Service Provider under the Agreement,
        including the Application and all intellectual property provided
        hereunder, are original to the Service Provider or its

        unauthorised persons on Service Provider’s end, the Service
        Provider shall inform the Subscriber within three (3) Working Days
        of becoming aware of such misuse. Where the Service Provider
        transfers a Virus to Subscriber through the Services, it shall
        review and agree to reimburse Subscriber on the actual cost which
        the Subscriber can support with evidence as having been incurred
        by the Subscriber to remove or recover from the Virus, including
        the costs of persons employed by Subscriber;
      5. The Application will be maintained to ensure that, where possible, it
        is free of any mechanism which may disable the Application and
        that the Service Provider shall use reasonable efforts to ensure
        that no loss of Subscriber Data will result from such items if
        present in the Application;
      6. The Services will be performed in a professional manner by qualified
        representatives of the Service Provider who are fluent in written

        warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or of
        merchantability.
      2. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that because of the nature of
        Application, information technology systems, telecommunications

        error-free or will run without interruption, or that every bug,
        virus or deficiency can or will be rectified;
    3. The Service Provider’s warranties and representations are subject to
      the limitations of liability set out in the Agreement and shall not
      apply to the extent that any error in the Services arises as a
      result of:

      1. incorrect operation or use of the Services by the Subscriber, or any the
        Subscriber’s authorised affiliates or authorised users
        (including any failure to follow the User Guide or failure to meet
        minimum specifications);
      2. use of any of the Services other than for the purposes for which it is

        software or services or on equipment with which it is
        incompatible;

        any virus or malicious code);
      5. any modification of the Services (other than that undertaken by the
        Service Provider or at its direction); or
      6. any breach of the Agreement by the Subscriber (or by any of its
        officers, employees, authorised affiliates or authorised users).
    4. The Subscriber acknowledges that no liability or obligation is accepted
      by the Service Provider (howsoever arising whether under contract,
      tort, in negligence or otherwise) to the effect that:

      1. the Services shall meet the Subscriber’s individual needs, whether
        or not such needs have been communicated to the Service Provider;
      2. the operation of the Services shall not be subject to minor errors or
        defects; or
      3. the
        Services shall be compatible with any other software or service or
        with any hardware or equipment except to the extent expressly
        referred to as compatible in the description.
    5. By The Subscriber:
      The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Service
      Provider that:

      1. The Subscriber shall provide the Service Provider with all necessary
        cooperation and access to all necessary information required for
        the performance of the Services.
      2. The Subscriber shall ensure that its authorised affiliates or
        authorised users use the Application or the Services in accordance
        with the terms of the Agreement and shall be responsible for any
        breach of the Agreement by such authorised affiliates or users.
      3. The Subscriber shall carry out all Subscriber obligations under the
        Agreement.
      4. The Subscriber shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations

  1. Limitation of Liability
  1. This Clause sets out the entire financial liability of the Service
    Provider (including any liability for the acts or omissions of its
    employees and sub-contractors) to the Subscriber in respect of:

    1. any breach of the Agreement;
    2. any use made by the Subscriber of the Services or the Application or
      any part of them; and
    3. any representation, statement or tortious act or omission (including
      negligence) arising under or in connection with the Agreement.
  2. Except
    as otherwise expressly stated in the Agreement:

    1. the Subscriber assumes sole responsibility for results obtained from
      the use of the Application or the Services by the Subscriber, and
      for conclusions drawn from such use. The Service Provider shall
      have no liability for any damage caused by errors or omissions in
      any information, instructions or scripts provided to the Service
      Provider by the Subscriber in connection with the Services, or any
      actions taken by the Service Provider at the Subscriber’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 Application and the Services are provided to the Subscriber on an
      “as is” basis.
  3. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in the Agreement excludes either Party’s
    liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
  4. The limitations of liability in this Clause shall not apply in the case
    of liability of the Subscriber, to liability for:

    1. damages for any breach by the Subscriber of its payment obligations; and
    2. any breach by the Subscriber of its confidentiality and non-disclosure
      obligations or its data protection, privacy, and information security obligations under the Agreement.
  5. The limitations of liability in this Clause shall not apply in the case of liability of the Service Provider, to liability for:
    1. any breach of any applicable regulatory requirement by the Service
      Provider which directly or indirectly results in the imposition of
      any fine or sanction on the Subscriber or the Subscriber otherwise
      incurring any liability; or
    2. any breach by the Service Provider or any of its subcontractors of its
      confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations or its data
      protection, privacy, and information security obligations under the
      Agreement.
  6. Subject to Clauses 11.2, 11.3 and 11.5 above:
    1. the Service Provider shall not in any circumstances be liable, whether
      in contract, tort (including without limitation for breach of
      statutory duty howsoever arising), misrepresentation (whether
      innocent or negligent) or otherwise for any special, indirect,
      consequential loss, costs, damages, charges, or expenses suffered
      by the other Party; and
    2. the total aggregate liability of the Service Provider, whether in tort,
      contract or otherwise, shall not exceed the annual subscription
      fees paid or payable to the Service Provider within the 12-month
      period immediately preceding the date on which such liability
      arose.
  7. The provisions of this Clause shall survive termination or expiry of the
    Agreement.
  1. Term and Termination
    1. Term:
      The initial term of the Agreement shall be twelve (12) months, or
      such other period agreed by the Parties in the Term Sheet,
      commencing from the date the Parties sign the Term Sheet.
    2. Automatic Renewal:
      Upon the expiration of the initial term, the Agreement shall
      automatically renew for further periods of twelve (12) months until
      terminated by either Party in accordance with the Agreement.
    3. Termination for Cause:
      Where a party breaches the Agreement, the innocent Party may write
      to the defaulting Party specifying such breach and requesting the
      breach to be cured. Where the breach remains uncured or there are
      no diligent steps towards curing the breach within thirty (30) days
      of the notice to cure, the innocent Party may terminate the
      Agreement.
    4. Termination without Cause:
      Either Party may terminate the Agreement by giving thirty (30)
      days’ written notice to the other Party of such intent to
      terminate.
    5. Accrued Rights and Obligations upon Termination:
      Upon the termination of the Agreement whether with or without
      cause, the Parties shall have the right to enforce all rights or
      obligations that might have accrued prior to the termination. To
      this end, the Subscriber shall pay to the Service Provider all
      amounts due and payable under the Agreement, if any.
      and the Service Provider shall pay to the Subscriber all amounts
      due and payable, including but not limited to, any unused prepaid
      Subscription Fees for the Service that was to be provided after the
      effective date of termination.
    6. Return of Subscriber Data:
      Upon the termination of the Agreement, the Service Provider shall,
      where requested by the Subscriber, within three (3) Working Days of
      receipt of such request and subject to reasonable conditions or
      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
      Service Provider shall certify to the Subscriber the destruction of
      any Subscriber Data within the possession or control of the Service
      Provider. Such destruction shall occur only after the Subscriber
      Data has been returned to the Subscriber. This Section shall
      survive the termination of the Agreement.
  1. Force Majeure
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. The Parties shall take the necessary measures to reduce the damage
      arising from a force majeure event to the best possible minimum.
    5. 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.
    6. The performance of the Agreement shall, unless terminated in accordance
      with the Agreement, resume upon the immediate abatement of the
      force majeure event.
  1. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
    1. The Agreement shall be governed by and shall operate and be construed
      under the laws of the Republic of Ghana.
    2. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Agreement shall
      first be amicably settled by the Parties through negotiations.
      Where such attempts at amicable settlement fail, the aggrieved
      Party reserves the right to have the dispute resolved by a court of
      competent jurisdiction.
  1. General Provisions
    1. No Agency:
      Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed to make the Parties
      representatives or agents of each other whether before, during, or
      after execution of the Agreement. No party shall make any
      representations to the contrary to a third party. The Agreement is
      not intended to create any employer-employee or agency relationship
      between the Parties. The Parties are independent of each other and,
      for the purposes of the financing arrangement under the Agreement,
      shall operate as independent contractors.
    2. Entirety of Agreement:
      Except where the context admits, the Agreement contains the entire
      understanding between the Parties hereto and the Parties shall not
      rely on any condition, warranty, or representation other than as
      expressly stated in the Agreement.
    3. Superseding Agreement:
      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.
    4. Severability:
      The invalidity, unenforceability, or illegality of a provision in the
      Agreement shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or legality of the other provisions in the Agreement.
    5. Modifications and Amendments:
      No modification or amendment of the Term
      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.
    6. 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.
    7. 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
      Provider’s obligations under the Agreement. The Subscriber may
      only transfer its rights or its obligations under the Agreement to
      another person or entity upon the prior written approval of the
      Service Provider.
    8. 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.
    9. 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
      obligation on the part of the signing Party with the same force and
      effect as if such signatures were an original thereof.
