The Customer wishes to access and use the Subscription Services and provide its Authorised Users with access to and use of the Subscription Services. The following terms and conditions (“Terms“), are between Atticus and the Customer stated in the relevant Order Form regarding the Customer’s access to and use of the Subscription Services. Any person who executes the Order Form on behalf of the Customer warrants to Atticus that they are authorised on behalf of the Customer to accept and to bind the Customer to the Agreement.

1. The Services

1.1 Provision of Subscription Services
During the Subscription Term, Atticus will provide the Customer with non-exclusive access to the Subscription Services in accordance with the relevant Plan and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.2 Plan
The Plan that the Customer purchases from Atticus will determine the specific benefits and features available to the Customer and Authorised Users in relation to the Subscription Services and any limitations or restrictions regarding the Customer’s access to and use of the Subscription Services which the Customer agrees it must comply with. If the Customer breaches any of the restrictions or limits for the Customer’s Plan then the Customer must immediately: (a) ensure its access and use of the Subscription Services is reduced or limited so that it complies with the relevant restrictions or limits; or (b) upgrade the Subscription Services to a Plan which would enable the Customer’s continued use of the Subscription Services to comply with this Agreement.

Without limiting any rights Atticus has pursuant to the Acceptable Use Policy, if Atticus reasonably believes that any unacceptable content in breach of the Acceptable Use Policy has been uploaded in connection with the Subscription Services or is otherwise being stored on the Atticus Systems, Atticus may request that the Customer either remove such content or Atticus may disable access to the relevant content. Atticus will have the right (but not the obligation) to remove such content from the Subscription Services or Atticus Systems or disable access where the Customer has not complied with an Atticus request under this clause within five (5) days of the date of the request.

The Customer indemnifies Atticus against losses, damages, expenses and costs (including without limitation court costs and reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with any Third Party claim relating to use of the Services by the Customer or its Authorised Users (including any claim in connection with any document verified using the Subscription Services).

8.1 Changes to the Subscription Services
The Customer acknowledges that the Subscription Services are on-line and subscription-based in nature, and that in order to provide improved customer experience Atticus may vary the features, functions and other benefits available to customers in respect of the Subscription Services from time to time. Where possible, Atticus will seek to provide reasonable prior notice to the Customer of any material deprecation of any substantial feature or functionality or discontinuance of all or a substantial part of the Subscription Services (“Material Deprecation“). For the avoidance of doubt, the removal or discontinuance of a part of the Subscription Services where similar functionality is moved to or otherwise implemented within another part of the Subscription Services will not constitute a Material Deprecation. In the event of a notified Material Deprecation, the Customer may either cancel auto-renewal by terminating the Agreement at the end of the then-current Initial Term or Further Term (as applicable) or elect to terminate the Agreement earlier by providing Atticus with written notice. Where the Customer elects to terminate the Agreement earlier than the end of the then-current Initial Term or Further Term (as applicable) pursuant to this clause, the Customer will be entitled to a pro-rata refund of its pre-paid Fees in respect of that part of the remaining term to which such Material Deprecation would otherwise apply. The Customer’s right to terminate pursuant to this clause will cease at the end of the then-current Initial Term or Further Term (as applicable).

8.2 Changes to these Terms
Atticus may modify these Terms from time to time by providing notice to the Customer. Except as otherwise indicated below, changes to these Terms will take effect in respect of this Agreement on and from commencement of the next Further Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to address new legal requirements or new features of our Subscriptions Services Atticus may specify that such changes become effective during the Customer’s then-current Subscription Term. If the effective date of such changes occurs during the Customer’s then-current Subscription Term and the Customer objects to the changes, then (as sole remedy) the Customer may terminate the Agreement by written notice to Atticus will be entitled to a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid Fees in respect of that part of the then-current Subscription Term during which the relevant changes would otherwise be effective. The Customer’s limited right to terminate pursuant to this clause will cease at the end of the then-current Subscription Term.
