(2) The entity whose name, registration number and registered office is as detailed on the Netcall order form, signed by an authorised officer of each party (“Customer”).
Customer agrees to purchase services as specified in the relevant Netcall order form agreed by the parties (“Order Form”) and which shall be subject to these terms and conditions (together the Order Form and these terms & conditions being the “Agreement”). This Agreement shall only come into force when an Order Form has been issued to Customer by Netcall, Customer has returned it signed to Netcall and Netcall has returned to Customer a countersigned copy of that Order Form. No other terms shall apply to the supply of any services by Netcall to Customer other than the terms expressly set out in this Agreement and the relevant Order Form. For the avoidance of doubt the terms of any Customer purchase order shall not be legally binding and may not act as a form of offer, counter-offer, modification, addition to and/or variation of this Agreement and/or any Order Form. In the event of any conflict, the order of precedence shall be firstly, the Order Form, these terms and conditions, then any schedule to this Agreement then any documents referred to in this Agreement.


1. SUPPLY OF SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
1.1 Netcall grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the software (and associated documentation (if any)) identified in the Order Form (“Software”) as a hosted service (“Hosted Service”) subject to: (a) the terms of this Agreement; and (b) any provisions and/or restrictions set out in the Order Form. Software includes any new versions and/or releases of such software and/or documentation made available to Customer by Netcall. For the avoidance of doubt the Software, and any updates or maintenance releases thereof, shall be made available only on a hosted basis and will not be delivered in object code or physical media to Customer.
1.2 The Order Form will specify the initial term of the provision of the Hosted Service. Unless a party serves notice of termination at least 90 days prior to expiry of the initial term specified in the Order Form (or any subsequent renewal term), the term shall automatically renew for one year periods on the same terms subject to any adjustment in the charges made by Netcall pursuant to clause 3.4. The Hosted Service shall be provided subject to Netcall’s standard service levels which are set out in the relevant Order Form and which Netcall may amend from time to time (provided it does not substantially decrease service levels without the prior written consent of Customer). Customer shall ensure that its use of the Hosted Service shall be in compliance with all applicable laws. Customer shall not use the Hosted Service to store or distribute illegal or infringing content and agrees that if Netcall receives notices from third parties alleging the presence of such content in the Hosted Service being hosted by Netcall, Netcall shall be entitled to take whatever action as Netcall deems fit, including deleting such content, without liability to Customer.
1.3 The Hosted Service is only for Customer’s internal use save as expressly provided otherwise in the Order Form. If Customer is noted on the Order Form as a reseller then Customer shall provide use of the Hosted Service to its customer subject to and consistent with the conditions stated in the Order Form and Customer shall not use the Hosted Service itself other than for the purposes of providing support to its customer. Any such resale by Customer to its customer shall on terms that are consistent with those set out in these terms and conditions.
1.4 The Hosted Service is provided only for the purpose for which it was designed and is for use only in connection with equipment that complies with Netcall’s minimum equipment and site requirements which are available on request (as updated from time to time) or as may be specified in the Order Form.
1.5 Customer is prohibited from decompiling, reverse engineering, disassembling, or otherwise reducing the Hosted Service and/or the Software to a human-perceivable form except as permitted by any applicable law. Where permitted by applicable law, the Customer shall agree to first make a written request to Netcall for it to supply the relevant information required specifying in reasonable detail the extent and objectives of the proposed decompilation, disassembly or unbundling exercise. Netcall shall be entitled to a reasonable fee for the provision of such information.
1.6 Except as expressly provided in this Agreement no licence is granted to translate, adapt, arrange, alter and/or modify the Hosted Service and/or the Software or any part of it and Customer shall not do or attempt any of such acts, whether for error correction or otherwise except in so far as Customer may lawfully do so without the authorisation of Netcall.
1.7 Customer will give prompt notice to Netcall as soon as it becomes aware that Customer has exceeded any restrictions and/or usage limits specified in the Order Form in relation to the Hosted Service.
1.8 Customer shall not, and shall not permit any third party to, use, rent, loan, “frame”, “mirror”, distribute or otherwise deal in the Hosted Service (or any component thereof) and in particular shall not use the same to process data for third parties or provide a bureau service or other outsourced service to third parties save as expressly provided otherwise in the relevant Order Form.


2 PROVISION OF SERVICES
2.1 Netcall will provide the services set out in the Order Form being either the Hosted Service, professional services and/or support & maintenance services (“Services”). Notwithstanding any provision of any Order Form to the contrary all dates for the provision of the Services shall be estimates only.
2.2 Customer shall provide or procure that Netcall is granted such access to Customer’s premises, equipment, personnel, data, systems and/or infrastructure as is reasonably required to perform the Services (including to allow Services to be delivered remotely at Netcall or other locations).
2.3 Customer shall comply with the reasonable instructions of Netcall as may be relevant to the Services and Customer shall provide all reasonable co-operation to Netcall in its provision of the Services. Netcall will comply with any reasonable health and safety requirements imposed by Customer on Netcall staff at Customer’s site provided that Netcall shall not be liable for any delay and/or non-performance caused by the time needed to review and/or reasonable inability to comply with such policies.
2.4 Netcall reserves the right to engage a sub-contractor to perform the Services provided that Netcall shall remain liable to Customer for any breach by Netcall’s subcontractor of Netcall’s obligations under this Agreement subject to the terms hereof.
2.5 If Netcall has been unable to complete professional services within 90 days of the estimated completion date due to any act or omission of Customer or its third party suppliers then Netcall shall be deemed to have completed such professional services and shall be entitled to charge for them in full.
2.6 Professional services shall be calculated and charged as set out in the relevant Order Form. If Customer purchases blocks of man days on an Order Form then Customer must instruct the use and permit the delivery of such man days within 6 months of the date of the relevant Order Form. If Customer does not do this, any unused man days purchased will be lost. Where a particular date is scheduled for Netcall to carry out professional services and Customer cancels or reschedules such within 5 Working Days (where a “Working Day” shall mean 9am – 5.30pm Monday-Friday excluding UK public holidays) of the relevant date then Customer shall pay for such professional services as if they were taken on the originally scheduled date.
2.7 For clarity, Netcall has no obligation to support Customer’s own technology, internal infrastructure, provide free training and/or provide consulting on Customer created content such as views, applications, reports, configurations and/or third party technologies and services unless expressly agreed to in writing in an Order Form.
2.8 Customer agrees to: (a) use and operate the Hosted Service in accordance with any relevant operating manuals and Netcall’s instructions and/or recommendations; (b) nominate and suitably train at least one dedicated support contact; and (c) ensure that only suitably trained and experienced individuals submit service requests. Netcall shall have no liability or obligation to provide support and maintenance services in relation to faults or service delays caused by Customer default, customisations, incorrect environments and/or Customer staff not being suitably trained/skilled.
2.9 Netcall may record telephone calls between representatives of Customer and representatives of Netcall for training and service improvement purposes.

Interest on late payments shall be charged by Netcall at the rate of 2% above the base lending rate from time to time of the Bank of England, accruing on a daily basis and being compounded quarterly until payment is made, whether before or after any judgement.
3.4 With effect from the expiry of the initial term specified in the Order Form Netcall reserves the right to increase the price charged for the Hosted Services by written notice to Customer prior to the expiry of that initial term and any subsequent annual anniversary thereof by an amount equal to the previous month’s 12 months’ rate for the retail prices index (“RPI”) plus 2%.

Netcall shall have no liability or obligations under the aforesaid warranties unless it has received written notice of the breach of warranty in question no later than 60 days after the date on which Netcall performed the act or omission which caused the breach of warranty. Customer hereby agrees that its sole remedy in respect of any breach of the said warranties is that Netcall will remedy such breach without charge to Customer and if in Netcall’s reasonable opinion, Netcall is unable to remedy any such breach then its liability for that failure is limited to refunding a reasonable portion of the fees paid for the relevant Services for 12 months prior to the date of the breach (where such portion shall be calculated by Netcall acting reasonably and having regard to the circumstances of the breach in question).
