2.2 We may on written notice amend the prices we charge for our Services to reflect any variation in the cost of supplying the Services.

2.3 You may increase or decrease your number of Users (any person with a current staff record in Tempora) at any time by email notice to ‘support@temporasoftware.com’. Amended charges will apply from the beginning of the month in which we receive such notice. If you reduce the number of Users, any discount previously applied to your charges may become void. User number changes must be by a minimum of three.

2.4 Regardless of clause 2.3, you may not reduce your number of Users below a number that represents fifty percent of the highest number of Users that you had in the previous Contract Year or, where you are in the first Contract Year, below a number that represents fifty percent of the highest number of Users that you had in the previous Contract Month. (In this agreement “Contract Year” means each initial and successive period of twelve consecutive months starting from the date you started using the Tempora Services (and “Contract Month” shall have an equivalent meaning in relation to a period of 30 consecutive days.)

6.1 This agreement shall commence on the date you started using the Tempora Services and shall continue thereafter (unless otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms) until either party provides no less than one full calendar months’ notice of termination in writing, provided that immediate notice of termination shall be sufficient during any agreed free trial period.

6.3 If either party is the subject of a bankruptcy order (or the equivalent in any other jurisdiction), becomes insolvent or makes any arrangement or composition with, or an assignment for the benefit of, its creditors, or if any of its assets are the subject of any form of seizure. If either party goes into liquidation, either voluntary or compulsory, or if a receiver or administrative receiver or administrator is appointed, this agreement can also be terminated immediately by the other party.

8. Data
8.1 Both parties agree as follows:

Each party shall be responsible for its own compliance, and shall at all times comply, with all applicable data protection and privacy laws, rules and regulations, as may be updated from time to time, including, whilst they apply to Tempora or its Affiliates, the law of the EU (including the GDPR), the law of any EU member state and/or UK data protection laws (“Data Protection Laws”). This clause 6 is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace a party’s obligations under Data Protection Laws. Personal data, data subject, controller, processor or processing have the meanings given in Data Processing Laws.

Tempora will comply with the obligations of its Data Processing Policy (from time to time). The Data Processing Policy is available at [ https://www.temporasoftware.com/data-processing-policy/ ].

Where Tempora is a data processor, the Customer gives general written authorisation for the appointment by Tempora of any third party processor of personal data under the Agreement. Tempora shall inform the customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of any other processors, giving the Customer the opportunity to object to such changes. The Customer shall act reasonably in making any objection and the parties shall work in good faith to resolve the reasonable concerns of the Customer. Tempora shall enter into an agreement with the third-party processor incorporating those terms that are required to be included by Data Protection Laws. As between the parties, Tempora shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third-party processor appointed by it under this clause.

The Customer agrees, and shall procure that its Users and other representatives consent (in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws), to the processing of personal data by Tempora (and its Affiliates, suppliers and subcontractors) and to the processing (including transfer) of personal data to and within the Data Hub Countries, in both cases only to the extent necessary to receive the benefit of the Services in accordance with the activity of its Users. Tempora will not process, transfer, export, use or disclose any personal data of the Users or obtained from the Customer outside the Data Hub Countries without the prior consent of the Customer.

(See www.cedr.co.uk). Unless otherwise agreed, the mediator shall be appointed by CEDR. If the parties fail to agree terms of settlement within 42 days of the start of the first meeting held under such procedure, the dispute may be referred to litigation by either party.

11.2 A person who is not a party to these terms may not enforce any of them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
