TrustSafe will use reasonable efforts to re-establish the Services promptly after TrustSafe                          determine that the issue causing the suspension has been resolved. During any suspension period, TrustSafe            will make the Customer Content (as it existed on the suspension date) available to the Customer. Any                          suspension under this Section shall not excuse the Customer from the Customer’s obligation to make                          payments under this Agreement.

 

11.3. Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies (whether under the Agreement or at law), either party may              terminate the Agreement immediately by serving written notice on the other if:

  • The other party commits a breach of any material obligation under the Agreement and, in the case of a remediable breach, fails to remedy the breach after receiving 14 days written notice to do so.

11.5. At the end of the Services Period, TrustSafe will make the Customer’s Content (as it existed at the end of the              Services Period) available for retrieval by the Customer during a one-month retrieval period.

12) FORCE MAJEURE

 

Neither the Customer nor TrustSafe shall be responsible for failure or delay of performance if caused by: an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; act of God; pandemic; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage that is not caused by the obligated party; government restrictions (including the denial or cancelation of any export, import or other license); or other event outside the reasonable control of the obligated party. Both the Customer and TrustSafe will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event. If such event continues for more than 30 days, either of the Customer or TrustSafe may cancel unperformed Services and affected orders upon written notice.

13.1. Any notice, invoice or other document which may be given by either party under the Agreement will be                      deemed to have been duly given if left at or sent by prepaid post, facsimile transmission or electronic mail to            the other party's registered office or any other address (including an electronic mail address) notified in writing          in accordance with this Clause as an address to which notices, invoices and other documents may be sent.

14) WAIVER

 

Failure or delay by TrustSafe to enforce any of its rights under the Agreement or the giving of additional time for performance or other indulgence is not a waiver of such right unless TrustSafe acknowledges the waiver in writing, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any further exercise of the same or the exercise of any other right. No waiver of any particular breach of the provisions of the Agreement will operate as a waiver of any repetition of such breach.

 

 

15) SEVERABILITY

 

If any provision of the Agreement which is not of a fundamental nature is found to be unenforceable or illegal, it shall be severed from the Agreement and will not affect the enforceability of the remainder of the Agreement.
