3. THE PLATFORM

• A Subscription entitles the Customer to the non-exclusive right to access and use the relevant Platform for its own business purposes during the term of the Subscription in accordance with these terms, and to allow Users to access it subject to clause 6.
• The Subscription includes access to the Documentation at no additional charge.
• The Platform is offered on a hosted basis and will be made available for the Customer to connect to via the internet in accordance with these terms. A Subscription does not give the Customer any right to a copy of the underlying software to install on its own systems or servers.
• To get the most of the Platform, Users will need to access it via a Compatible Browser or, where the Platform has an accompanying App, via the App. If the User wishes to access the Platform via the App the User will need to download the App from the appropriate app store and install it on a Compatible Device.
• The Platform may be accessible via web browsers other than Compatible Browsers, via earlier versions or differently configured versions of the Compatible Browsers, or (when using the App) using a device other than a Compatible Device, but in these cases functionality may be limited.
• MTG may from time to time make changes to the Platform, including to improve its functionality or usability, add new features, remove features it considers to be obsolete, fix errors or address feedback received from customers. MTG shall endeavour to minimise any disruption caused as a result of the implementation of such changes.
• It may be necessary from time to time for MTG to disable part or all of the Platform for maintenance purposes. Where such maintenance is likely to affect the functionality or accessibility of the Platform, MTG shall use reasonable endeavours to provide notice to the Customer of any such maintenance and to perform it outside of working hours.
• The Subscription does not include back-up services, but does include the right for the Customer to export its data at any time during the term of the Subscription. MTG strongly recommends that the Customer performs regular exports of the Customer Content during the term of the Subscription and retains them in a safe place and the Customer agrees to do so. MTG shall not be responsible for any losses caused as a result of the Customer’s failure to comply with this clause8.
• The Customer shall be fully responsible for any acts or omissions of any User or any other party accessing the Platform using any User’s access credentials (whether or not with the Customer’s permission), as if such acts or omissions were the acts or omissions of the Customer. The Customer shall ensure that all Users are aware of the User Policies and all applicable terms in respect of use of the Platform.
• The Customer shall use the Platform only in accordance with these terms (including the User Policies) and procure that all Users do the same.
• The Customer shall immediately notify MTG if it believes or suspects either that it may have breached these terms, that a User (or other person using a User's access credentials) may have failed to comply with the User Policies or that any User’s access credentials may have been compromised.
• MTG shall be entitled to suspend access to the Platform (or any part of it) for any or all Users without liability to the Customer immediately and without notice or to take such action as it may in its discretion think appropriate if it reasonably believes (a) not doing so may prejudice the security, integrity or operability of the Platform or part of it, cause harm to another customer or other third party or give rise to a claim against MTG, (b) the Customer or any of its Users have transmitted, uploaded or downloaded any content which contravenes the restrictions set out in the User Policies or (c) the Customer is otherwise in breach of these terms. Promptly following such suspension MTG shall notify the Customer of the suspension, the reason for the suspension and what steps the Customer can take so that the suspension can be brought to an end.

4. DOCUMENTATION AND SUPPORT

• The Customer shall be responsible for providing first-line support to its Users. If the Customer or any of its Users have any queries as to how to use the Platform the Customer should in the first instance consult the Documentation.
• Should the Customer be unable to resolve its issue by means of reading the Documentation, support requests may be escalated to MTG via the methods suggested in the Documentation. To ensure that support requests can be handled efficiently, all support requests made to MTG must be made via nominated individuals within the Customer's IT support team.
• If MTG considers that the issue reported is caused by a material error in the Platform, it will deal with such report in accordance with clause 2.

5. ADDITIONAL SERVICES

• Additional Services are not included within the Subscription but may be ordered separately.
• MTG shall be responsible for the provision of the consultants who provide the Additional Services. In the event that any individuals become unavailable due to (for example) accident, illness, termination of employment or reallocation to another task, MTG shall use reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable replacement.
• Timescales given for the performance of Additional Services are for indicative purposes only.
• The Additional Services shall be provided to substantially conform to the specification set out in the Statement of Works or otherwise agreed in writing. Where no specification is agreed MTG shall draft a specification that it considers appropriate and shall send it to the Customer for comments then make any revisions as it considers appropriate following receipt of any such comments.
• Where the Additional Services involve the production of any Developments then, once the Developments has been created, MTG shall make them available for the Customer to review and shall notify the Customer accordingly.
• On receipt of a notice from MTG in accordance with clause 5, the Customer shall promptly test the Developments in accordance with the procedure set out in the Statement of Works (or, if no testing procedure is set out, following a reasonable procedure) and shall within 14 days of such notice either confirm to MTG that the Developments are accepted or notify MTG of any deficiencies and request that they be remedied. If the Customer does not respond in accordance with this timescale it shall be deemed to accept the Developments.
• Where the Customer notifies any deficiencies in accordance with clause 6, MTG shall promptly remedy the deficiencies and make the revised Developments available for re-testing in accordance with clause 5.5.
• MTG shall be responsible for the provision of the consultants who provide the Additional Services. In the event that any individuals become unavailable due to (for example) accident, illness, termination of employment or redeployment, MTG shall use reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable replacement.

6. USERS

• A separate User account must be registered for every individual User.
• User accounts are strictly to be used by the User to whom they are originally allocated and must in no circumstances be shared between users, reallocated or transferred to another individual. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that User accounts are used only by the User to whom they are originally allocated and the Customer shall be strictly liable for any failure to comply with this clause2, whether or not the Customer’s consented to or was aware of such misuse.
• Save as otherwise authorised in writing, User accounts may only be issued to employees, consultants and/or agents of the Customer.
• Without prejudice to its other rights or remedies, MTG may suspend any User account at any time where it reasonably believes that the acts or omissions of such User has caused or is likely to cause Customer to breach these terms, that the User account has been used by multiple people or reallocated contrary to clause 1or that the User is not a person who is eligible to use the Platform as part of the Customer’s Subscription.
• The Customer shall, and shall procure that each User shall, keep all access credentials for the Platform confidential and secure.
• In no circumstances shall the Customer permit any party other than a User to access the Platform using its Subscription. Users shall be permitted access only to the extent that they are using the Platform for the Customer’s business purposes.

7. WARRANTIES

• MTG warrants that the functionality of the Platform will substantively conform to the Documentation. MTG will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Platform is available for the use of all Users during business hours.
• By the nature of the Platform, MTG cannot warrant that it will be entirely error free. In the event that the Customer does experience issues with the Platform it shall report the problem using the procedure set out in the Documentation. Where the Customer reports a material error MTG shall use its reasonable endeavours to respond by the end of the next business day and thereafter to remedy the error as soon as reasonably and commercially practicable. The Customer agrees that this clause 2shall be its sole and exclusive remedy for any problems or deficiencies with the Platform.
• MTG gives no warranty as to the accessibility or functionality of the Platform when it is being accessed other than via a Compatible Browser or the App (and, in the case of the App, the warranty will only apply if it is installed on a Compatible Device).
• MTG shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that any information made available to Users via the Platform is accurate and timely. However, the Customer acknowledges that no situation can be guaranteed to be entirely risk-free. Crime, natural disasters, terrorism and other adverse events can happen anywhere in the world, and it is not always possible to identify these risks in advance, despite reasonable efforts to do so. MTG cannot provide an absolute guarantee of safety, and advises that all Users should take reasonable care, taking any advice provided with MTG in the context of observed local conditions and following any advice, guidance or instructions given by local authorities.
• Access to the Platform requires internet connectivity, and the ability to establish a connection to the internet may be limited in certain areas due to the lack of availability of wi-fi, mobile data signal or other facilities for accessing the internet. Where this is likely to be an issue, the Customer is advised to take steps to mitigate the effect of such unavailability, including:
• where possible providing the User with accommodation with a reliable internet connection and/or otherwise ensuring that the User has regular opportunity to visit locations where the User can access the internet;
• reminding the User to access the Platform prior to entering an area with limited internet connectivity; and/or
• ensuring that it has in place alternative communication arrangements to enable it to exchange relevant information with the User if the User is unable to access the Platform.
• MTG warrants that all Additional Services will be provided with reasonable skill and care.
• The Customer warrants that all information and documentation provided by it in relation to the Subscription or any Additional Services it orders is true, complete and accurate.
• If as part of the Additional Services (or otherwise) MTG’s employees, consultants or agents are required to attend the Customer’s premises (or any other premises the Customer may request that they attend), the Customer shall take responsibility for the health and safety of any such individual, including ensuring that they are made aware of any relevant policies and procedures and that they are not placed in danger in any manner.

8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

• All rights, title and interest (including Intellectual Property Rights) in the Platform, the App and any Developments shall (as between MTG and the Customer) belong to the MTG, and nothing in these terms shall operate to transfer any such rights to the Customer.

• The Customer shall retain all rights in the Customer Branding and Customer Content. The Customer grants MTG a non-exclusive royalty free licence to use such Customer Branding and Customer Content for the purposes of providing the Platform, the App and the Additional Services and, in the case of the Customer Branding, in publicity material.
• MTG warrants that use of the Platform, the App, the Documentation and/or any Developments in accordance with these terms and/or receipt of any Additional Services will not infringe any Intellectual Property Rights subsisting in the UK belonging to a third party.
• Without prejudice to clause 4, where MTG becomes aware of any claim or potential claim that the Platform, the App, the Documentation or any Developments and/or receipt of any Additional Services infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party, MTG may at its option:
• suspend access to the Platform (or the affected part), withdraw the App, the Documentation or the Developments (or the affected part) and/or suspend the Additional Services (or the affected parts);
• modify the Platform, the App, the Documentation, the Developments and/or the Additional Services to remedy the infringement; and/or
• terminate the Customer’s Subscription.
• Where access to the Platform, the App or any Developments, or the provision of the Additional Services, is suspended or terminated pursuant to clause 5, MTG shall make a pro rata refund to the Customer calculated by MTG (acting reasonably) based on the proportion of the Platform, the App, the Developments or the Additional Services (as applicable) not received and the period over which it was not received.

9. FEES
