Data Solutions 2016 Ltd shall not be liable to the Customer for any claim brought by a data subject arising from any action or omission by Data Solutions Ltd to the extent that such action or omission resulted directly from the Customer’s instructions nor for any failure to carry out an instruction of the Customer if Data Solutions 2016 Ltd has notified the Customer that to do so would be in breach of Data Protection Legislation.

  1. SERVICE OF NOTICES

16.1 Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been validly given if served personally upon that party or if sent by first class prepaid post or sent by e-mail to the address of that party as stated at the head of this Agreement, its last known address or its registered office or such address or email address as notified by the party for this purpose.

16.2 Any notice or other information sent by e-mail shall be deemed to have been received by the other party at the time that it was transmitted.

The Customer agrees that both the Customer and Data Solutions 2016 Ltd may communicate with each other by electronic means in connection with this Agreement.

  1. GENERAL

18.1 The persons who sign this Agreement on behalf of the Customer warrant that they have the appropriate and necessary authority to do so and to bind the Customer to the terms set out in it. Where two or more persons are stated on the Order Form to be the Customer, each of those persons shall be jointly and severally liable for performance of the Customer’s obligations under this Agreement.

18.2 All amounts due under this Agreement are (unless otherwise specified) subject to the addition of VAT at the prevailing rate, which shall be additionally payable by the Customer in full.

18.3 Data Solutions 2016 Ltd (but not the Customer) shall be free to sub-contract, assign, mortgage, charge, delegate, novate, declare a trust over or deal in any other manner with all or any or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) to any other party without the consent of the Customer.

18.4 * This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. *

18.5 This Agreement may only be modified in writing. If any part of it shall, for any reason, be found or held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remainder of its terms, which shall survive and the affected provision or part-provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable.

18.6 A person who is not party to this Agreement has no right to enforce any term of this Agreement.

18.7 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. The failure of Data Solutions 2016 Ltd to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon breach of any such provision shall not constitute a waiver of any such breach or any subsequent breach of such provision or prejudice in any way any right of Data Solutions 2016 Ltd under this Agreement and it will not prevent Data Solutions 2016 Ltd taking steps against the Customer at a later date.

18.8 The parties agree that it is not practical to obtain signatures for all services performed and so the Customer accepts that Data Solutions 2016 Ltd’s computerised records of the services provided will be adequate proof of the fact that those services have been delivered.
