Bubbl is not responsible for any usage, transmission, disclosure, loss, modification or deletion of Customer Data or any other content sent to, provided by or accessed by a Third Party Application that Customer links to the Service including but not limited to, analytics data or push notifications. Customer is solely responsible for obtaining and securing from the Third Party Application provider all rights and permissions necessary for Customer to link such Third Party Application to the Service, and Bubbl shall have no liability in connection therewith. Customer’s access to and use of any Third Party Application (including the linking of the Third Party Application to the Service) is subject to such Third Party Application provider’s terms and conditions that govern the access and use of the Third Party Application, or any separate agreement or transaction that Customer enters into with the Third Party Application provider, and Bubbl shall have no liability in connection therewith. Bubbl makes no representations or warranties as to the suitability of such Third Party Applications or for the acts of omissions of such Third Party Application providers.
4. FEES AND PAYMENT.
4.1 Fees. Customer shall pay all Fees specified in all applicable Order Forms. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form (a) payment obligations are non-cancellable and Fees paid are non-refundable, other than pursuant to Clause 10.4; and (b) the purchased Service cannot be decreased during the relevant Term.
4.2 Invoicing and payment. Unless an Order Form specifies otherwise, Fees for the Services are invoiced electronically as follows (a) licensing and subscription Fees are invoiced up front at the beginning of each month and are due in full upon issuance of the invoice; and (b) usage-base Fees are pre-billed on the estimated usage and reconciled at the end of each month based on actual usage. Customer is responsible for maintaining complete and accurate billing, payment method, and contact information with Bubbl. All amounts payable shall be in the currency stated in the applicable Order Form. If Customer issues a purchase order upon entering into an Order Form, then (a) any such purchase order submitted by Customer is for its internal purposes only, and Bubbl rejects, and in the future is deemed to have rejected, any purchase order terms to the extent they add to or conflict in any way with this Agreement or the applicable Order Form and such additional or conflicting terms will have no effect; (b) it shall be without limitation to Bubbl’s right to collect Fees owing hereunder; (c) it shall be for the total Fees owing under the applicable Order Form; and (d) on request, Bubbl will reference the purchase order number on its invoices (solely for administrative convenience), so long as Customer provides the purchase order at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the invoice date. Except as otherwise provided in Clause 10.4, neither party will have the right to set off, discount or otherwise reduce or refuse to pay any amounts due to the other party under this Agreement. If Bubbl cannot charge Customer’s selected payment method for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts and all costs incurred by Bubbl, and Bubbl will attempt to charge the payment method again. Bubbl shall have the right to suspend Customer’s access and use of the Service as provided in Clause 4.3 where Customer’s selected payment method does not issue payment after three (3) attempts. In accordance with Applicable Laws, Bubbl may update information regarding Customer’s selected payment method if provided such information by Customer’s financial institution.
4.3 Late payments. Customer’s failure to pay any undisputed amounts due under this Agreement (including any Order Form or failure to update payment information upon Bubbl’s request), on a timely basis will be deemed material breach of this Agreement. If any amount owing by Customer under this Agreement including any Order Form is overdue, Bubbl may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend applicable Service and/or Professional Services until all overdue amounts are paid in full. Bubbl shall provide at least seven (7) Calendar Days’ prior notice that Customer’s account is overdue to Customer’s account administrator or as otherwise provided in accordance with Clause 12.1, before any suspension. Customer will continue to be charged Fees during any period of suspension. Bubbl shall not exercise such suspension rights specified above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith, and is working with Bubbl to resolve the dispute. If Bubbl takes action to collect overdue Fees under this Agreement or any Order Form, Customer agrees to pay (a) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Bubbl for collecting such overdue Fees, including but not limited to, collection fees, reasonable legal fees and court costs; and (b) interest accruing on a daily basis on such overdue amounts at an annual rate equal to three percent (3%) over the then current base lending rate of Barclays Bank PLC from time to time, commencing on the due date and continuing until fully paid, whether before or after judgment.
4.4 Taxes. Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, Value Added Tax, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If any withholding tax applies, Bubbl’s prices will be adjusted to account for such withholding tax so that the amount received by Bubbl after the withholding tax is deducted is the full amount Bubbl would have received if no withholding or deduction had been made of the Fees. If Bubbl has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Clause 4.4, Bubbl will invoice Customer and Customer shall pay that amount unless Customer provides Bubbl with a valid tax exemption certificate authorised by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Bubbl is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.
4.5 Future functionality. Customer agrees that its purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Bubbl regarding future functionality or features.
4.6 Annual fee increase. Bubbl shall be entitled to notify Customer of an increase of the Fees each anniversary of this Agreement upon ninety (90) Calendar Days’ prior written notice to Customer.

Customer has all the rights or permissions (including, but not limited to, permissions from any Third Party Application providers) necessary to grant Bubbl the rights in Customer Data under this Agreement.
5.4 Data protection. Both parties shall comply with Data Protection Laws. Clause 5.4 and Clause 5.5 are in addition to, and do not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations or rights under Data Protection Laws. The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Services, Customer is the data controller and Bubbl is the data processor (as defined in Data Protection Laws). Schedule 1 sets out the scope, nature and purpose of processing by Bubbl, the duration of the processing and the types of personal data being processed.
5.5 Data processor obligations. Bubbl shall, in relation to any personal data processed in delivering the Services (a) process that personal data only on the documented instructions of Customer which are set-out in Schedule 1; (b) use reasonable endeavours to keep Customer Data secure and shall put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data; (c) ensure that all of Bubbl’s employees who process personal data are obliged to keep the personal data confidential; (d) not transfer any personal data outside of the United Kingdom and European Economic Area unless the prior written consent of Customer has been obtained or appropriate transfer mechanisms have been put in place to enable the lawful transfer of personal data across borders; (e) not authorise any sub-contractors to process personal data without notifying Customer in writing and if Customer does not raise any objections within seven (7) Calendar Days, Bubbl will consider that Customer has consented to the use of the sub-contractor; any objections raised by Customer must be based on reasonable data protection objections; (f) ensure it enters into a written agreement with its sub-contractors that contain terms substantially the same as those set out in this Clause 5.5; (g) assist Customer in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under Data Protection Law with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities; (h) notify Customer without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach; (i) at the written direction of Customer, delete or return personal data to Customer on termination or expiry of the Agreement unless required by Applicable Laws to retain the personal data; (j) maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this Clause 5.5; (k) in the event that a personal data breach has occurred and upon written request from Customer, allow Customer’s auditors to conduct a data protection compliance audit of Bubbl; and (l) immediately inform Customer if, in the opinion of Bubbl, an instruction provided by Customer infringes Data Protection Laws.
5.6 Aggregated data. Bubbl may aggregate data including statistical and demographic data, for various purposes including research and analysis. Aggregated data may be generated from personal data but is not classified as personal data under Data Protection Laws as it does not directly or indirectly disclose the identity of Authorised Users and End Users. In the event that aggregated data is merged with personal data in a manner in which Authorised Users and End Users are identified, then it will be processed in accordance with Clause 5.5.
5.7 Anonymised data. Bubbl may anonymise personal data so that it does not directly or indirectly disclose the identity of Authorised Users and End Users. Bubbl may anonymise personal data for various purposes including research and analysis. Bubbl may utilise anonymised data without further notification to Customer.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY.
6.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including, without limitation business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by the Disclosing Party. Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Data, other than Notifications (to the extent such Notifications have been sent to an End User and are no longer within Bubbl’s control). Bubbl’s Confidential Information includes the Service and all non-public information relating to the Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, in confidence, to a potential purchaser or successor to any portion of such party’s business resulting from the reorganisation, spin-off, or sale or all or a portion of all of the assets of any business division, or group of such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without breach of any obligations owned to the Disclosing Party.
6.2 Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care to protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care). The Receiving Party may disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its Affiliates or its investors, and their respective officers, directors, principals, employees, attorneys and accountants only to the limited extent necessary to carry out the purpose of this Agreement. To the extent that the Receiving Party desires to make a disclosure to any persons other than its officers, directors, principals, employees, attorneys and accountants, as condition precedent to disclosure, such recipient must execute a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Clause 6 before disclosure is made.
6.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by Applicable Laws or any competent judicial, supervisory or regulatory authority to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure or obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If, however in the opinion of the counsel of the Receiving Party, the Receiving Party or its representatives are nonetheless, in the absence of such order or remedy, compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, then the Receiving Party may disclose only such portion of the Confidential Information which, in the opinion of its counsel, the Receiving Party is compelled to disclose. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
6.4 Survival. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth in this Clause 6 shall extend for a period of three (3) years after such expiration or termination; except that such time limitation shall not apply to trade secrets disclosed under this Agreement.
6.5 Destruction of Confidential Information. On the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly destroy all physical copies of Confidential Information in its and its representatives’ possession, and in the case of electronic data, use commercially reasonable efforts to delete or render practically inaccessible by the Receiving Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain copies of the Confidential Information to the extent required by Applicable Laws or for auditing purposes, or to the extent such copies are electronically stored in accordance with the Receiving Party’s record retention or backup policies, so long as the Confidential Information is kept confidential in accordance with this Agreement.
7. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS.
7.1 Mutual warranties. Each party represents and warrants that (a) such party has the legal right and authority to enter into this Agreement, (b) such party has the legal right and authority to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to grant the rights and licenses described in this Agreement, (c) this Agreement will constitute such party’s legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, and (d) no consent, approval or authorisation of, or exemption by, or filing with, any governmental authority or third party is required to be obtained by such party in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement or the taking of any other action contemplated hereby, which has not been obtained. To the extent Customer requires Bubbl to obtain additional registrations or licenses specific to Customer’s industry and requirements outside of Bubbl’s standard scope of operating its organisation, Customer shall reimburse Bubbl for any costs incurred for such registration or licensing fees.
7.2 Disclaimers. Except as expressly provided in this Clause 7, the Service is provided “as is” to the fullest extent permitted by law, and neither party makes any warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, and each party specifically disclaims all implied warranties, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws. Bubbl does not warrant that the operation of the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure. Each party disclaims all liability and indemnification obligations for any harm or damages caused by any third-party hosting providers or applications.
8. INDEMNIFICATION.
8.1 Bubbl indemnification. Bubbl shall defend, indemnify and hold Customer harmless from and against any third party claim, demand, suit or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) made or brought against Customer by a third party and any direct damages, liabilities, losses, settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) (collectively, “Losses”) related thereto alleging that Bubbl’s intellectual property rights infringes a third party’s copyrights, trademarks or trade secret rights under the laws of a country to which the Service is made available by Bubbl to Customer. If Bubbl receives information about such an infringement Claim, Bubbl may in its discretion and at no cost to Customer (a) modify the Service so that it no longer infringes or misappropriates, (b) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of that Service in accordance with this Agreement, or (c) terminate Customer’s subscriptions for that Service upon thirty (30) Calendar Days’ written notice and refund Customer any prepaid Fees covering the remainder of the Term of the terminated subscriptions. The above defence and indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent a Claim arises from or relates to (a) Customer Data, (b) a Third Party Application, (c) the Notifications, (d) Customer’s or any Authorised User’s breach of this Agreement, (e) any modifications of the Service by or for Customer and/or (f) failure to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements or enhancements made available by Bubbl to Customer.
8.2 Customer indemnification. Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold Bubbl and licensors (“Bubbl Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any third party claim, demand, suit or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) by a third party and any direct damages, liabilities, losses, settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) (collectively, “Losses”) made or brought against a Bubbl Indemnified Party in connection with or arising from (a) Customer’s or any Authorised User’s access and/or use of the Service, (b) Notifications, (c) Customer Data, including but not limited to any imagery, text, information, representations or other content provided by Customer or any Authorised User for use in the Service; (d) Customer’s or any Authorised User’s infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights, violation of its obligation to a third party or violation of Applicable Laws, or (e) Customer’s or any Authorised User’s breach of Clause 3.2, Clause 3.3, Clause 3.4 and Clause 3.5.
8.3 Indemnification process. The indemnifying party’s obligations are conditioned upon the indemnified party (a) giving the indemnifying party prompt written notice of the Claim (provided however, the failure to give timely notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure materially impairs the ability of the indemnifying party to defend), (b) granting full control of the defence and settlement to the indemnifying party (provided however that the indemnified party may participate with counsel of its choosing at its own expense), (c) reasonably cooperating with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense with regard to out-of-pocket expenses, in defence and settlement of any such Claim, and (d) not admitting any fault or liability of the indemnifying party or itself.
8.4 Exclusive remedy. This Clause 8 states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of third party claim described in this Clause 8.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
9.1 No exclusion. Nothing in this Agreement excludes the liability of any party for (a) death or personal injury caused by either party’s negligence; or (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) wilful breach; or (d) a breach of confidentiality; (e) a breach of statutory obligations under the Data Protection Laws; (f) the indemnification obligations set out in Clause 8 ; and (g) anything else in respect of which it is not legally permissible to limit liability.
9.2 Limitation of liability. Other than a party’s indemnification obligations in Clause 8, neither party’s aggregate liability arising out of or related to this agreement will exceed the amount paid by Customer hereunder in the twelve (12) months preceding the incident. The above limitations will apply whether an action is in contract or tort and regardless of the theory of liability. However, the above limitations will not limit Customer’s payment obligations.

Other than a party’s indemnification obligations in Clause 8, each party agrees that the consideration Bubbl is charging hereunder does not include consideration for assumption by a party of the other party’s incidental or consequential damages. In no event will either party have any liability to the other party for any lost profits or revenue, or indirect, special, incidental, consequential, cover or punitive damages, whether an action is in contract or tort and regardless of the theory of liability, even if a party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing limitation of liability will not apply to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law.
9.4 Other exclusions. Bubbl will not be liable, and will have no obligation to indemnify Customer or Authorised User for (a) Prohibited Data sent to Bubbl; (b) violation of any Applicable Laws by Bubbl when acting at Customer’s or any Authorised User’s (as applicable) instructions; and (c) the sending by Bubbl of Customer’s or any Authorised User’s Notifications. The provisions of this Clause 9 allocate the risks pursuant to this Agreement between the parties, and the parties have relied on the limitations set forth herein in determining whether to enter into this Agreement.
