from a data subject and in ensuring compliance with your obligations
under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach
notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory
authorities or regulators;

Personal Data Breach;

WARRANTY MADE BY US, AND THE LIMITED REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION
7 STATE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AGAINST US OR OUR SUPPLIERS FOR
BREACH OF WARRANTY. WE AND OUR SUPPLIERS DO NOT AND CANNOT WARRANT THE

=============================================================================
8. Indemnities
=============================================================================
8.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in section 7.1, we
undertake at our own expense to defend you or, at our option and in our
absolute discretion, settle any claim or action brought against you by a
third party alleging that your possession or use of the Software (or any
part thereof) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement infringes
the third party's intellectual property rights (CLAIM) and we shall be
responsible for any reasonable direct losses, damages, costs (including
reasonable legal fees) and expenses incurred by or awarded against you
as a result of or in connection with any such Claim. This section shall
not apply where the Claim in question is attributable to your possession
or use of the Software (or any part thereof) other than in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, use of the Software in combination
with any hardware or software not supplied or specified by us if the
infringement would have been avoided by the use of the Software not so
combined, or use of an unsupported version of the Software.
8.2 If any third party makes a Claim, or notifies an intention to
make a Claim against you, our obligations under section 8.1 are conditional
on you:
(a) as soon as reasonably practicable, giving written notice
of the Claim to us, specifying the nature of the Claim in reasonable
detail;
(b) not making any admission of liability, agreement or
compromise in relation to the Claim without our prior written consent;
(c) not incurring any legal expenses in respect of the Claim
without our prior written approval;
(d) allowing us to, in our absolute discretion, assume
conduct and control of any proceedings related to the Claim and to
defend, avoid or compromise the Claim in whatever way we see fit with
our own choice of legal advisers. You may, at your sole expense, appoint
additional legal advisers but we shall have no obligation to indemnify
you in respect of any fees or expenses incurred by such legal advisers;
(e) giving us and our professional advisers access at
reasonable times (on reasonable prior notice) to your premises, officers,
directors, employees, agents, representatives or advisers, and to any
relevant assets, accounts, documents and records within your custody or
control of the Customer, so as to enable us and our professional
advisers to examine them and to take copies (at our expense) for the
purpose of assessing and/or defending the Claim; and
(f) taking such action we may reasonably request to avoid,
dispute, compromise or defend the Claim.
8.3 If any Claim is made, or in our opinion is likely to be made,
against you, we may at our sole option (in so far as is permitted under
applicable law) and expense:
(a) procure for you the right to continue to use the
Software (or any part thereof) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and your applicable Licence Edition;
(b) modify, repair or replace the Software with software of
equivalent functionality. If we determine in our discretion that it is
not feasible to modify, repair or replace the Software with a functionally-equivalent
non-infringing version, then either we or you may terminate this
Agreement by providing written notice to the other, in which case we
shall refund to you the remaining unused whole months of the Licence Fee
paid by you for the applicable Licence Period. Insofar as the applicable
law permits, we shall have no other liability to you except as otherwise
expressly provided in this section 8; or
(c) terminate this licence immediately by written notice to
you and refund any remaining unused whole months of the Licence Fee paid
by you for the applicable Licence Period,
provided that if we modify, repair or replace the Software, the modification,
repair or replacement must comply with the warranties contained in this
section 8 and you shall have the same rights in respect thereof as you
would have had under that section had the references to the date of this
Agreement been references to the date on which such modification or
replacement was made.
8.4 Without prejudice to any legal warranties and/or liabilities
that are binding under applicable law, this section 8 constitutes your
exclusive remedy and our only liability in respect of Claims and, for
the avoidance of doubt, is subject to sections 9.3 and 9.5.
8.5 Any indemnities we provide, and any obligation on us to modify,
repair or replace the Software, shall not apply if the claim results, in
whole or in part, from your conduct or the conduct of someone acting on
your behalf or the conduct of an Outsource Customer, an OEM Customer, an
Outsource Provider or an OEM Provider or someone acting on their behalf.
In particular, but without limitation, we shall have no obligation or
liability to you or to your Outsource Customer, OEM Customer, Outsource
Provider or OEM Provider, if you or they have altered, modified or
amended the Software in any way or used it outside the terms of this
Agreement or in combination with any other software not provided by us,
or it has not been loaded onto equipment specified by us or suitably
configured equipment.
8.6 You shall indemnify us in respect of any damages, loss or costs
of any nature that we suffer as a result of any claim brought against us
by any third party in respect of or related to our processing of
Customer Data in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

breach of warranty, guarantee, condition, strict liability, negligence
and any tort to the extent permitted by applicable law. It applies
whether or not we know about or should have known about the possibility
of any particular type of damage.
9.5 TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY OTHER
DAMAGES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF
STATUTORY DUTY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR MISUSE OF THE SOFTWARE. SUCH

OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT YOU MIGHT INCUR THAT LOSS OR TYPE OF LOSS, OR IF
REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR A REFUND FOR THE SOFTWARE DOES NOT FULLY COMPENSATE
YOU FOR ANY LOSSES.
9.6 Unless such limitation or exclusion is permitted by the applicable
law, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude either party's
liability for:
(a) wilful or grossly negligent conduct;
(b) breach of any primary obligations set out in this
Agreement;
(c) death, bodily harm or personal injury resulting from
either party's negligence;
(d) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
(e) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited
by applicable mandatory law.

liabilities in respect of this Agreement. Except as expressly stated in
this Agreement, there are no conditions, warranties, representations or
other terms, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, that are
binding on us. Any condition, warranty, representation or other term
concerning the supply of the Software which might otherwise be implied
in, or incorporated in, this Agreement whether by statute, common law or
otherwise, is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

online support systems.
Premium Technical Support Services include electronic access as for
Standard Technical Support Services above, plus the option to use
telephone for issues classified as SEVERITY 1. A dedicated telephone
number is therefore available to you if you have purchased Premium
Technical Support Services. All requests for technical support must
first be raised electronically, including full details of the issue,
before using the telephone.
When using the telephone for technical service you shall remain available
to communicate with the same level of response time associated with the
issue being handled until it is mutually agreed that the response time
for the individual issue can be changed.
