2.2 The Services provided to you under this Agreement are on a non-exclusive basis. This Agreement shall not prevent us from entering into similar agreements with, or granting the ability to create step/exercise challenges to, third parties (including clients similar to you), or from independently developing, using, selling or licensing documentation, software, products and/or services which are similar to those provided under this Agreement.
2.3 Whilst we provide you with the infrastructure from which to set up, launch and manage Challenges, you and the Account Holder are ultimately responsible for the general management of your Challenge and ensuring that Users are appropriately informed about the Challenge and are given sufficient time to register, organise their teams (where applicable) and participate in the Challenge prior to its commencement.

3.2 You acknowledge that you are responsible for the legality, reliability, integrity, accuracy and quality of all Client Data and warrant that inputting the Client Data into Big Team Challenge, and our use of the Client Data pursuant to this Agreement, shall not infringe a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights. All Client Data inputted must adhere to our Terms of Use (link above).
4.1 We warrant to you that we shall, during the Term, provide the Services to you on and subject to the terms of this Agreement and with reasonable skill and care and we shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to make Big Team Challenge available 24/7, except for planned or emergency maintenance (and we will try to give you as much reasonable notice in advance as we can of such maintenance) except that:
4.2 If the Services do not conform with the warranty in clause 4.1, we will use commercially reasonable endeavours to correct any such non-conformance as soon as reasonably practicable. Such correction or substitution constitutes your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of that warranty.

7.1 You acknowledge that the Services will from time to time enable or assist you and your Users to connect to services from third parties (for example, Google Maps or Fitbit) and that such connection is carried out solely at your own risk. We make no representation, warranty or commitment and shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content or use of, or correspondence with, any such third-party provider, or any transactions completed, and any contract or terms of use entered into by you or your User, with any such third-party provider. Any contract entered into and any transaction completed via any third-party provider, which may be required in order for you to receive the Services, is between you (or the relevant User as the case may be) and the relevant third-party, and not us. We recommend that you refer to the third-party's terms and conditions (including any terms around acceptable use) and privacy policy prior to using their services. For further information about what personal data we may collect via such third-party providers, please visit our privacy policies (link in clause 6).
8.1 In consideration of the Services provided to you under this Agreement, you agree to pay the Fees to us in accordance with clause 8. For the avoidance of doubt, you, the Client, are responsible for payment of the Fees, not your Users.
8.2 To publish a Challenge, and make it available for your Participants, you will be required to complete the Challenge order within Big Team Challenge (the “Challenge Order”). You are required to pay us a fee for each Challenge that you publish. Immediately prior to publishing a Challenge, we will prompt you to pay an upfront fee (the “Base Fee”) as stated in the Challenge Order. The Base Fee covers a specified number of Participants in respect of that Challenge (the “Base Participant Number”) and such number is set out in the Challenge Order. A Challenge will not be able to go live, and Participants will not be able to participate in that Challenge, until you have paid to us the Base Fee in full. When paid, the Base Fee shall be non-refundable irrespective of whether the Challenge continues or completes or the number of Participants who end up participating in it.
8.3 You may, from time to time during a Challenge, add Participants to that Challenge in excess of the Base Participant Number. If that is the case:
8.4 You may have opted to pay Additional Fees at the time of paying the Base Fee or prior to completion of the Challenge. You acknowledge, however, that any Fees paid to us shall be non-refundable.
8.5 Whenever we send you an invoice for the Fees, or a proportion of the Fees where applicable, you shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing, pay to us the full amount set out in each invoice no later than 14 days from the date of issue of such invoice. All amounts due under this Agreement shall be paid by you to us in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding. Unless otherwise stated, sums payable under this Agreement are exclusive of VAT or any relevant local sales taxes.
8.6 If we do not receive any payment from you after the date such payment has become due, without prejudice to any of our other rights and remedies, interest shall accrue on a daily basis on such due amounts at an annual rate equal to 4% over the then-current base lending rate of NatWest Group plc from time to time, commencing on the due date and continuing until fully paid, whether before or after judgement.
8.7 We shall be entitled, from time to time during the Term, to revise the rates used to calculate our fees going forward. If we do, such revised rates will become applicable, and communicated, to you in respect of any subsequent Challenge you opt to launch, and any subsequent Challenge Order you opt to pay for, under this Agreement. Current rates can be found on our website.
8.8 Under no circumstance shall your failure to use the Services, or go ahead with the Challenge, affect the start or duration of the Term or Challenge, or any of your payment obligations set forth under this agreement.
8.9 Any discount granted by us in relation to a Challenge does not guarantee that any such or similar discounts will be available for any subsequent Challenges.
9.1 You acknowledge and agree that all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Services and Big Team Challenge belong, and shall continue to belong, to Team Challenge Apps Ltd and/or its licensors.
9.2 We acknowledge that all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Client Data belong, and shall continue to belong to, you and/or your licensors. You grant to us the following rights in relation to the Client Data:
9.3 Other than the licences expressly granted under this Agreement, neither party grants any licence of, right in or makes any assignment of any of its Intellectual Property Rights. In particular, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you shall have no rights in respect of Big Team Challenge, the Services or their associated goodwill, and you acknowledge that all such rights and goodwill shall inure for the benefit of and are (and shall remain) vested in us.

10.2 Each party shall keep the other party's Confidential Information confidential and shall not: (a) use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than to perform its obligations under the Agreement; or (b) disclose any Confidential Information in whole or in part to any third party, except as expressly permitted by this clause 10.
10.3 A party may disclose the other party's Confidential Information:
10.4 Provided we do not use Confidential Information other than in accordance with the aforementioned provisions in this clause, unless otherwise agreed, we can mention you in our marketing materials in order to demonstrate our relationship with you. Otherwise, no party shall make, or permit any person to make, any public announcement concerning this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as required by applicable law.
10.5 The provisions of this clause 10 shall continue to apply after termination of this Agreement.
11.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither party excludes or limits liability to the other party for: (a) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (b) death or personal injury caused by its negligence; or (c) any matter for which it would be unlawful for the parties to exclude liability.

12.1 Without effecting any other right or remedy available to us, we have the right, at any time, to suspend provision of the Services or availability of Big Team Challenge to you and/or your Users (including the right to disable your and/or your Users’ passwords and accounts) without liability if:
and a suspension may continue until such time as the relevant issue is remedied to our reasonable satisfaction.
