The Agreement contains the legal terms

Services are subject to additional terms that include without limitation the
Supplemental Terms. Supplemental Terms may be presented or made available to

responsible for your Account, all activities conducted in connection with your
Account, and the accuracy of all information provided by or to you relating
thereto, including without limitation, contact, technical, campaign and payment
information, the Credentials if appropriate, and for protecting and
safeguarding the foregoing. You will promptly update any Account Information if

Credentials, and any related security breach. You will only connect to the
Services through your Account and using only the Credentials.
(b) Content and Monitoring. You are
solely responsible for all Content, and the storage and transmission of the
Content must comply with the Agreement. We may (but have no obligation to)
monitor your use of the Services at any time, with or without notice.
(c) Data Protection and Privacy. You
grant us a royalty-free, worldwide, irrevocable and perpetual license to
retain, store, use, and disclose the Data solely: (i) in connection with our
provision of the Services, (ii) for our internal purposes, (iii) to protect the
operation of the Services, (iv) to create aggregated, anonymous data, including
for usage statistics, and (v) to satisfy applicable legal, billing, accounting
or regulatory requirements. Each party shall comply with its obligations under
applicable Data Protection Laws in respect of any Personal Data processed under
the Agreement. You warrant, represent and undertake to us that you have all
necessary rights, licenses and consents to provide us with Data for these
purposes. You and we acknowledge that in relation to your processing activities
on our platform, you are the Data Controller and we are the Data Processor.
Where you are the Data Controller and we are the Data Processor, we will
process such Personal Data in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and
our duties as a Data Processor under applicable Data Protection Laws. In
parallel and in accordance with Recital 47 of the European Data Protection
Directive 95/46/EC, you acknowledge that we shall act as an independent Data
Controller with respect to the processing of Personal Data which is necessary
for the operation of the Services which shall include any information processed
for the purpose of the conveyance of a communication on an electronic
communications network or for the billing thereof.
(d) Service Users. You shall remain
fully liable to us for any use of the Services by Service Users (whose acts and
omissions shall be considered to be your acts and omissions). We will provide
support, when and if provided, only to you and not to Service Users.
(e) Records & Consents. You will
maintain accurate and complete records of your performance under the Agreement
during the term and as required under the Compliance Rules and Relevant Laws.
Upon reasonable written notice, you shall provide copies of any such records to
Icetrak. Icetrak or its representatives shall be entitled to disclose any such
records (and to carry out audits of your premises and systems, upon reasonable
written notice) where required by any Service Provider, Regulator or other
competent authority. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of
the Agreement, prior to using the Services to send Content to any third party,
you shall obtain verifiable informed consent in accordance with Relevant Laws,
and shall maintain a record of each such consent. You shall provide a
reasonable and readily accessible method for third parties to revoke this
consent and, at our request, shall provide us with verifiable evidence to
establish informed consent from such third party (to our satisfaction).
4. Payments and Pricing
(a) Post-pay Customers. Where you have
signed a Registration Form for a Service, you shall be a post-pay Customer
(unless stated otherwise in that Service Order). You will pay us the Fees and
Taxes and all other invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days
of invoice date (or such alternative period specified in the applicable Service
Order or determined and confirmed in writing by us). Unless stated otherwise in
a Service Order, the Fees shall be calculated in accordance with rates and pricing which we make available to you (by means determined
by us) from time to time. Unless stated otherwise in a Service Order, all
Non-Recurring Fees may be invoiced monthly in arrears, and all Recurring Fees
and One-Time Fees may be billed in advance. All Fees, Taxes and other sums
shall be billed in the applicable currency stated in the Service Order. All
sums will be paid by one of the methods detailed on the invoice. Time is of the
essence in relation to your payment obligations.
(b) Pre-pay Customers. Unless you have
signed a Service Order for a Service, you will be a pre-pay Customer. You will
pay us the Fees and Taxes and all other amounts payable to us through
prepayments made by you on your Account. The Fees shall be calculated in
accordance with the rates and pricing which we make
available to you (by means determined by us) from time to time. You will not
earn interest on any Credit Balance held by us. You shall not be entitled to a
refund of an unused Credit Balance under any circumstances. We may deduct or
offset from your Credit Balance, any sums you owe to us, which may include but
are not limited to Fees and Taxes. All Recurring Fees and One-Time Fees may be
deducted in advance of the applicable Service being provided and all
Non-Recurring Fees may be deducted after the applicable Service is provided.
Payments received from you will be deposited in the currency selected during
Account creation. We support GBP and EUR on special request. All Fees, Taxes
and other sums due will be deducted from this Credit Balance in the same
currency (subject to Section 4(e) below). Every Service on an Account will
deduct Fees, Taxes and other sums due from the same Credit Balance.
(c) Set-Off. You will not have a right
of any type of deduction or setoff unless required by Relevant Laws. If any
such set-off is required by Relevant Laws, you shall, when making the payment
to which the withholding or deduction relates, pay to us such additional amount
as will ensure that we receive the same total amount that we would have received
if no such withholding or deduction had been required.
(d) No Waiver. No omission or delay by
us in invoicing any sums and/or deducting them from a Credit Balance shall
prohibit us from raising an invoice and/or deducting them from a Credit Balance
at a later date nor shall it relieve you of your liability to pay.
(e) Currency. If the pricing for the
Services in a Service Order (or otherwise) is expressed in a currency other
than GBP (UK Sterling) then we reserve the right, with respect to the applicable
Services and at the time when a payment obligation arises, to convert those
sums expressed in non-GBP into GBP at our then-current conversion rate.
Currency exchange fluctuations may result in changes to the final amount
charged. We are not responsible for any currency exchange rate fluctuations or
charges.
(f) Credit Limit. Your Credit Limit
shall be as notified by us to you from time to time. If we determine that the
Accrued Liability exceeds the Credit Limit, you shall pay, within twenty-four
(24) hours of notice from us, such amount as we determine is necessary to (i)
reduce the Accrued Liability to the same or less than the Credit Limit and,
(ii) ensure the Credit Limit shall not be exceeded prior to the next invoice
due date. You consent to and shall procure that your owners, directors,
officers and assigns consent to, Icetrak carrying out searches with credit
reference agencies relating to your creditworthiness and financial status.
(g) Fee Changes. Unless expressly stated
otherwise in the Service Order, we reserve the right to change the pricing used
to calculate the Fees with no less than 30 days notice.
(h) General. Fees and Taxes are
non-refundable. Fees exclude, and you will pay, all Taxes, but neither party
will pay income taxes of the other party. For any invoice you fail to pay by
its due date, we may charge you a late penalty on the amount overdue each day
as calculated by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 from
when it is overdue until it is paid whether before or after judgment. The Fees
payable shall be calculated by reference to data recorded or logged by us and
not by reference to any data recorded or logged by you. Any invoices issued by
us shall, save in the case of manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding
on you. You may dispute an invoice in good faith, but must do so within seven
(7) days of the invoice date, otherwise you will be deemed to have irrevocably
waived all rights and claims concerning such invoice. Icetrak may setoff
amounts owed by you under the Agreement or any other agreement you have with Icetrak.
Each party shall bear the costs imposed by their own bank when making and
receiving payments under the Agreement.
5. Term and Termination,
Suspension, Survival

any period of free, no obligation trial being in place, The Agreement takes
effect as of the earlier of: (i) your use of any Services, (ii) your electronic

no less than seven (7) days notice. We may also terminate a Service for
convenience on less than sixty (60) daysÕ notice where for operational reasons

that we reserve the right to temporarily disable access to the Services (or any
portion thereof) for maintenance purposes. Suspension under this section does
not waive the obligation of any payment obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Early Termination Charge (ETC).
Where a Service terminates on a date other than the date of expiration of an
Initial Term or a Renewal Term, we reserve the right to charge an ETC, which
you shall be liable to pay within seven (7) days of an invoice from us. This
Section shall not apply where we have terminated for convenience or you have
terminated for cause.

the date which you are entitled to terminate under Relevant Law).

causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, in respect
of the provision of the Services, failures or delays caused by Service
Providers, any act of God, terrorist attacks, inclement weather, accidental
damage, vandalism, failure or shortage or power supplies, flood, drought,
lightning or fire, strike, lock-out, trade dispute or labor
disturbance, compliance with Relevant Laws, any act or omission of Government
or other competent authorities. The parties are independent contractors, and
there is no partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise
or agency relationship created by the Agreement. Neither party will have the
power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other partyÕs behalf
without the other partyÕs prior written consent. You shall not, without our
prior written consent, assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any
other manner with all or any of your rights or obligations under the Agreement.
We may at any time assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other
manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Agreement without
your consent however, you shall, if we require, execute such deeds and/or
documents as may be necessary or required by us to give effect to any such
dealing in such rights and/or obligations. A waiver of any provision of the
Agreement must be made in writing to be effective, and our waiver of a breach
of any provision or right contained in the Agreement will not constitute a
continuing waiver or waive any subsequent breach or right. You shall, in
relation to this Agreement, comply with all Relevant Laws which are applicable
to you, including but not limited to export control laws and regulations,
economic, trade and financial sanctions laws, regulations, embargoes,
restricted state lists or restrictive measures administered. If any provision
of the Agreement is unenforceable, that provision will be modified to render it
enforceable to the extent possible to affect the partiesÕ intention, and the
remaining provisions will not be affected. The Supplemental Terms will prevail
in the event of a conflict with the Terms of Service, but only to the extent
such conflicting term relates to the Services governed by those Supplemental Terms.
In all other cases, the Terms of Service will prevail in the event of a
conflict with another part of the Agreement, unless such other part of the
Agreement intends and expressly states that the specific term supersedes.
Further, the fact that a part of the Agreement does not contain a provision
relating to particular matter, which another part of the Agreement does have a
provision for, shall not be deemed to give rise to a conflict.
There are no other third party
beneficiaries to the Agreement and any Relevant Law, which may grant third
party rights, is expressly excluded. The Agreement is the partiesÕ entire
agreement relating to its subject, and supersedes any and all prior oral and
written proposals, agreements, understandings and contemporaneous discussions
between the parties as to the subject matter. Neither party has entered into
the Agreement (or any part thereof) in reliance upon and nor shall they have
any remedy in respect of, any representation or statement (whether made by the
other party or any other person) which is not expressly set out in the
Agreement. The only remedies available for breach of any representation or
statement which was made prior to entry into the Agreement (or any part
thereof) and which is expressly set out in the Agreement shall be for breach of
contract (although nothing in this Section shall be interpreted or construed as
limiting or excluding the liability of either party for any type of fraud). The
terms contained in any purchase order, order form or similar document, will
have no force or effect, and will not be binding upon us. The parties may sign
the Agreement (or any part thereof) electronically and in counterparts, each of
which is deemed an original and, together, comprise a single document. Each
party to this Agreement agrees to use electronic signatures; and be subject to
the provisions of the applicable national laws governing electronic signatures.
