Privacy And Data Protection

Each Party shall comply with the Data Protection Laws with respect to the processing of the Client Personal Data. The Client warrants to BMI Leisure that it has the legal right to disclose all Personal Data that it does in fact disclose to BMI Leisure under or in connection with this Agreement and that the Client has obtained suffi­cient consent from all data subjects concerned (if appli­cable).
The Client shall only supply to BMI Leisure, and the BMI Leisure shall only process, in each case under or in relation to this Agreement, the Personal Data of data subjects falling within the categories specified in the Data Processing Agreement as concluded between the Parties and as attached hereto.
If any changes or prospective changes to the Data Protection Laws result or will result in one or both Parties not complying with the Data Protection Laws in relation to processing of Personal Data carried out under this Agreement, then the Parties shall use their best endea­vours promptly to agree such varia­tions to this Agreement as may be necessary to remedy such non-compliance.

Infrin­gement Claims by Third Parties

BMI Leisure shall indemnify and defend the Client against any claims brought by Third Parties to the extent such claim is based on an infrin­gement of the Intel­lectual Property Rights of such Third Party by the Software in the Territory.
Claims resulting out any of the following are excluded from clause 23.1 : (i) the Client’s unautho­rized use of the Software; (ii) the Client’s or any Third Party’s modifi­cation of the Software; (iii) the Client’s failure to use the most recent version of the Software made available to the Client; (iv) the Client’s failure to integrate or install any correc­tions to the Software issued by BMI Leisure, if BMI Leisure indicated that such update or correction was required to prevent a potential infrin­gement, or (v) Client’s use of the Software in combi­nation with any non-BMI Leisure Software or services.
The indemnity obligation under this section shall be condi­tional upon the following: (i) the Client promptly notifies BMI Leisure in writing of any such claims; (ii) the Client grants BMI Leisure sole control of the defense and settlement of such claim; (iii) the Client fully coope­rates with BMI Leisure upon request; (iv) the Client makes no admission as to BMI Leisure’s liability in respect of such claim, nor does the Client agree to any settlement in respect of such a claim without BMI Leisure’s prior written consent.
If, in BMI Leisure’s reaso­nable opinion, the Software is likely to become the subject of a Third Party claim, BMI Leisure shall, at its sole discretion, have the right to: (i) modify parts of the Software so that they become non-infringing, provided equivalent functi­o­nality is preserved; (ii) obtain for the Client a license to continue using the Software in accor­dance with the Agreement; or (iii) terminate the relevant license and pay to the Client an amount equal to a pro-rata portion of the License and Support Fee.
The Client acknow­ledges and agrees that the foregoing states the entire liability and obligation of BMI Leisure and the sole remedy of the Client with respect to any infrin­gement or alleged infrin­gement of any Intel­lectual Property Rights caused by the Software or any part thereof.

Confi­dential Infor­mation

Parties shall treat all Confi­dential Infor­mation received from the other Party as confi­dential, keep it secret and shall not disclose it to any Third Party, other than its agents, employees, advisors or consul­tants where such disclosure is necessary for the perfor­mance of the Agreement and only in case such agents, employees, advisors or consul­tants are bound by a confi­den­ti­ality obligation at least as strict as included in the Agreement.
Confi­dential infor­mation disclosed in the execution of this Agreement shall not be used for any purpose other than as required for the perfor­mance of either Parties’ obliga­tions under the Agreement.
Both Parties shall take suffi­cient measures to maintain the confi­den­ti­ality of all Confi­dential Infor­mation. Parties in parti­cular agree that they: (i) shall not copy or otherwise exploit any component of the Confi­dential Infor­mation other than as herein provided, nor make any disclo­sures with reference thereto to any Third Party; (ii) shall promptly notify the other Party if it becomes aware of any breach of confi­den­ti­ality and give the other Party all reaso­nable assis­tance in connection with the same.
For the purposes of this section, shall not be consi­dered Confi­dential Infor­mation, infor­mation that: (i) is published or comes into the public domain other than by a breach of the Agreement, (ii) can be proven to have been known by the receiving Party before disclosure by the disclosing Party; (iii) is lawfully obtained from a Third Party other than by a confi­den­ti­ality breach of such Third Party; or (iv) can be shown to have been created by the receiving Party indepen­dently of the disclosure.
If and to the extent required in accor­dance with a judicial or other govern­mental order, the receiving Party may disclose Confi­dential Infor­mation, provided that the receiving Party (i) gives the disclosing Party reaso­nable notice prior to seek a protective order or equivalent, unless the receiving Party is legally prohi­bited from doing so; (ii) reaso­nably coope­rates with the disclosing Party in its reaso­nable efforts to obtain a protective order or other approp­riate remedy; (iii) discloses only that portion of the Confi­dential Infor­mation that it is legally required to disclose; and (iv) uses reaso­nable efforts to obtain reliable written assurances from the appli­cable judicial or govern­mental entity that it will afford the Confi­dential Infor­mation the highest level of protection available under appli­cable law or regulation.
The obliga­tions set out in this clause shall enter into force as from the start of negoti­a­tions between the Parties and shall survive during five (5) years after the termi­nation or expiration of the Agreement. The confi­den­ti­ality obliga­tions in the Agreement replace any prior non-disclosure agreement signed between the Parties.

Limitation of Liability

BMI Leisure shall have no obligation to indemnify the Client in respect of any claim arising from the Agreement unless such claim exceeds two thousand five hundred (2,500) euro.
Subject to the maximum extent permitted under appli­cable law, BMI Leisure’s liability under the Agreement shall: (i) per event (or series of connected events) not exceed the Fees paid by the Client to BMI Leisure under the Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months prior to the date of the event (or last of the series of connected events) giving rise to the claim.
BMI Leisure shall under no circum­stances be liable to the Client for any indirect, punitive, special conse­quential or similar damages (including damages for loss of profit, lost revenue, loss of business, loss or corruption of data, loss of customers and contracts, loss of goodwill, the cost of procuring repla­cement goods or services, and reputa­tional damage) whether arising from negli­gence, breach of contract or of statutory duty or otherwise howsoever, and third parties’ claims. Each Party shall have the duty to mitigate damages. The exclu­sions and limita­tions of liability under this clause shall operate to the benefit of BMI Leisure’s affiliates and subcon­tractors to the same extent such provi­sions operate to the benefit of BMI Leisure.
BMI Leisure cannot be held liable in any way, neither contrac­tually nor extra-contrac­tually, for discon­ti­nuing an older release of the Software or for damages caused by the wrongful (or out of scope) use of the Software.
