10.   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

10.1. The Client acknowledges that the Platform has not been developed to meet the Client’s individual requirements, and that it is therefore the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the Platform as described in the applicable documentation meet the Client’s requirements. Packetly only supplies the Platform for the Client’s internal business operations.

10.2. This clause 10 sets out the entire financial liability of Packetly (including any liability for the acts or omissions of its employees, agents and sub-contractors) to the Client: (i) arising under or in connection with this Agreement; (ii) in respect of any use made by the Client of the Platform, the Services, the Documentation, the Output or any part of them; and (iii) in respect of any representation, statement or tortious act or omission (including negligence) arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

10.3. Except as expressly and specifically provided in this Agreement:

(a)      the Client assumes sole responsibility for results obtained from the use of the Platform, the Services, the Documentation and the Output by the Client, and for conclusions drawn from such use. Packetly shall have no liability for any damage caused by errors or omissions in any information or instructions provided to Packetly by the Client in connection with the Services, or any actions taken by Packetly at the Client’s direction;

(b)      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 this Agreement; and

(c)      the Platform, the Services, the Output and the Documentation are provided to the Client on an ‘as is’ basis. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Services have an estimated 93% accuracy rate and consequently, the Output is not guaranteed to identify all potential risks with the Client Content and Packetly will not be liable or responsible if any Client Content does contain any malicious, unlawful, offensive, not safe for work or otherwise objectionable content, notwithstanding the findings in the Output.

10.4. Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes the liability of either party: (i) for death or personal injury resulting from negligence; (ii) for any damage or liability incurred by a party as a result of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by the other party; (iii) under any indemnity clause in this Agreement; or (iv) for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited by law.

10.5. The Company will indemnify and keep Packetly and its officers, employees, consultants, agents and sub-contractors indemnified, on demand, against all losses, costs and liabilities and all expenses, including reasonable legal or other professional expenses, suffered or incurred by Packetly arising out of or in connection with any breach of this Agreement by the Company or any End User, or by any third party acting on the Client’s behalf or an End User’s behalf.

10.6. Subject to clause 10.4:

(a)      Packetly will not be liable to the Client for loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goods, loss of contract, loss of use, loss or corruption of data or information or any special, unforeseeable loss (i.e. indirect and consequential loss) or pure economic loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, loss or damage is unforeseeable if either it is not obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both Packetly and the Client did not know that it might happen;

(b)      Packetly’s total liability to the Client in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise arising under or in connection with this Agreement will be limited to the lower of: £10,000; or (ii) the Fees relating to the relevant Subscription in the then current Subscription Term or the Fees for the affected Custom Services (as applicable); and

(c)      Packetly’s total liability to each End User in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise arising under or in connection with this Agreement will be limited to a sum of £100. Each End User acknowledges and agrees that this is reasonable due to the fact that the Company is the party paying the Fees and not the End User.

 

11.   TERMINATION

11.1. A Subscription (in relation to a specific End User use only) may be terminated by an End User by providing written notice of termination to Packetly (which may be submitted via the Platform), which will take effect at the end of the Subscription Term..
