5. The Services

5.1 Upon provision by the Client of a Database for Screening (the input) the Company will compare the Database of numbers supplied by the Client against the appropriate suppression registers and provide back to the Client (the output) either the Clients list excluding those records that match the appropriate suppression register or the Clients full list with indicators where records match said register or some other format as agreed between the Company and the Client.

5.2 It is the Clients responsibility to supply the Database in the correct format prior to any Screening Services being performed. The Client acknowledges that failure to follow the guidelines may result in charges being levied and payable even though as a result the Screening process performed may not have successfully identified the records matching the appropriate suppression register.

5.3 If the Client submits records for Screening that have already been previously submitted, the Client acknowledges that there can still be a charge for the Screening process.

5.4 Data supplied for the purposes of Number Validation will be checked for connectivity and the results reported back to the Client.

The Company accepts no liability for circumstances beyond its reasonable control that may affect the performance of the Services.

The Company shall be entitled to set off any sums it may owe the Client under any contract against sums owed to it by the Client.

6.2 The Client acknowledges and agrees that even if it pays the Fee or any other amounts due to it under this Agreement via a director's or an employee's personal or corporate credit card (or if a personal guarantee is in force and invoked in respect of the Client), this will not render the transaction a consumer transaction.

6.3 Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to it, the Company shall be entitled to charge interest, compounded monthly, on any overdue payments at the rate of 3% above the base rate from time to time of Lloyds TSB Bank plc from the date that such payment became due until discharged in full (whether before or after any judgment).

6.4 The Client is responsible for the payment of VAT on any supply of goods or services by the Company pursuant to any Contract. Where any goods or services are supplied by the Company to the Client on the basis that they are exempt or zero rated of VAT, the Client agrees to indemnify and hold the Company (and its officers and employees) harmless from and against any liabilities, costs, expenses, fines, damages and other payments suffered or incurred as a result of any subsequent investigation by HM Revenue & Customs and/or any decision by HM Revenue & Customs that such supply (or any part of it) should in fact have been charged with VAT at the relevant time. The Client agrees that any such supply is made only under the proviso that the Client agrees to pay any request by the Company for the payment of VAT relating to such supplies within 7 days of receiving such demand from the Company.

a. Notify the Client promptly in writing of any claim or potential claim;

8.2 Subject to clause 8.1, in no event will the Company be liable for any damages resulting from loss of data or use, lost profits or loss of anticipated savings (in each case whether direct or indirect), nor for any damages that are an indirect or secondary consequence of any act or omission of the Company whether such damages were reasonably foreseeable or actually foreseen.

8.3 Subject to clause 8.1, the Company's maximum liability to the Client under any contract or otherwise for any cause whatsoever, including the Company's negligence, will be for direct costs and damages only and will not in any event exceed the Fees paid by the Client in the previous 12 months. If the Client requires the Company to agree a greater level of liability than that provided in this clause, it may request the Company to do so subject to the Company's right to increase the Fee prior to acceptance of the Order as it may deem appropriate to reflect the enhanced risk.

8.4 The parties acknowledge that the limitations contained in this clause 8 are reasonable in light of all the circumstances. The Client agrees that it is in a better position to foresee and evaluate any potential loss it may suffer in connection with any Contract and that the Fee has been agreed on the basis of the limitations and exclusions in these Conditions. The Client will affect such of its own insurance as it considers appropriate having regard to its particular circumstances and these Conditions.

8.5 The Client shall indemnify and hold harmless, and shall keep indemnified and held harmless, the Company from and against all loss (including legal expenses), damage or liability (whether criminal or civil) suffered or incurred by the Company arising from any breach by the Client of these Conditions. This provision shall survive termination or expiry of the applicable Contract.
