Orbitr reserves the right to modify its processing policy where required by Data Protection Legislation from time to time.
4.2 Both parties shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. This clause is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.
4.3 The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, for any Personal Data within: I. the Account Data, Orbitr is the data controller; and II. the Client Data, the Client is the data controller and Orbitr is the data processor; (where data controller and data processor have the meanings as defined in the GDPR).

For the avoidance of doubt, following such anonymisation, the derivative data shall not be considered to be Personal Data for which Orbitr is the data processor on behalf of the Client.
4.8 The Client consents to Orbitr appointing the following classes of third-party processors of Personal Data under this Agreement: I. service providers acting as processors based in the EEA who provide IT, hosting development and system administration services; II. professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the UK who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services; III.

4.9 Orbitr confirms that it has entered or (as the case may be) will enter into a written agreement incorporating terms which are substantially similar to those set out in this clause with any third-party processor who has access to Personal Data within Client Data. As between the Client and Orbitr, Orbitr shall remain fully liable for any failure of such third-party processor to fulfil such substantially similar data protection obligations as if such actions were the actions of Orbitr.

18.1 Orbitr will keep all Client Data confidential, providing that Client Data may be disclosed to Orbitr’s employees, representatives, consultants, contractors, agents and other subcontractors who may be appointed as described in clause 5 (who in turn will be legally bound to keep the Client Data confidential).
18.2 The obligation to keep the Client Data confidential will not apply to any information that:
- is already known to the public; or II. is required to be disclosed by law, by any governmental or other regulatory authority, or by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, providing that Orbitr will give the Client notice of the requirement to disclose of that disclosure as soon as practicable.
18.3 This clause shall survive termination of this Agreement, however arising.
19 MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION
19.1 The Client shall indemnify and hold Orbitr harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with: (i) a claim alleging that use of the Client Data infringes the rights of, or has caused harm to, a third party; (ii) a claim, which if true, would constitute a violation by the Client of their representations and warranties; or (iii) a claim arising from the breach by the Client or their Users of this Agreement, provided in any such case that Orbitr;
(a) gives written notice of the claim promptly to the Client;
(b) gives the Client sole control of the defence and settlement of the claim (provided that the Client may not settle or defend any claim unless they unconditionally release Orbitr of all liability and such settlement does not affect Orbitr’s business or Service);
(c) provides to the Client all available information and assistance; and (d) has not compromised or settled such claim.
19.2 Orbitr shall indemnify and hold the Client harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including all reasonable legal and professional fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with: (i) a proven claim that the Service directly infringes the copyright, or a trademark of a third party; (ii) a claim, which if true, would constitute a substantial and actual violation by Orbitr of its representations or warranties; or (iii) a claim arising from Orbitr’s wilful and knowing disclosure of your Client Data to any unauthorised parties unless required by law; provided that the Client;
(a) promptly gives written notice of the claim to Orbitr;
(b) gives Orbitr sole control of the defence and settlement of the claim;
(c) provides to Orbitr all available information and assistance; and (d) has not compromised or settled such claim. Orbitr shall have no indemnification obligation, and the Client shall indemnify Orbitr pursuant to this Agreement, for claims arising from any infringement arising from the combination of the Service with any of the Client’s products, service, hardware or business process(es). The indemnity provided by Orbitr in this clause shall not apply where the Client has used the Service in a manner that is not authorised by this Agreement or is otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
20 DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES
20.1 Orbitr and its licensors do not warrant: I. the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any of the content or data derived from any Product or the Services or that the Products or Services will operate error free, virus free, without interruption or securely; II. that all program defects in relation to the Services will be corrected; and III. that the Products or Services will operate with any hardware, software, system or data not identified in the ordering process.
20.2 The Products and Services are provided “as is” and, except as expressly set out in this Agreement, all conditions, representations and warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including, without limitation, any implied warranty of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of third party rights, are hereby disclaimed to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law by Orbitr and its licensors.
21 INTERNET DELAYS
Orbitr, the Products or Services may be subject to limitations, delays, and other problems inherent in the use of the internet and electronic communications. Orbitr is not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or other damage resulting from such problems.
22 FORCE MAJEURE
22.1 In this Agreement, “force majeure” shall mean any cause preventing Orbitr from performing any or all of Orbitr’s obligations which arise from or are attributable to acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond Orbitr’s reasonable control including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes, acts of God, pandemic, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, interruption or failure of utility service, including but not limited to electric power, gas or water or default of suppliers or sub-contractors.
22.2 Orbitr shall not be in breach of this Agreement if it is subject to a force majeure event if it uses reasonable endeavours to notify you in writing of the nature and extent of the force majeure event causing Orbitr’s failure or delay in performance.
22.3 If the force majeure event prevails for a continuous period of more than 2 months, the Client may terminate this Agreement by giving 14 days’ written notice to Orbitr. On the expiry of this notice period, this Agreement will terminate. Such termination shall be without prejudice to Orbitr’s rights in respect of any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.
23 LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
23.1 Nothing in this Agreement will exclude or limit either party’s liability for: I. death or personal injury caused by a party’s own negligence; or II. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
23.2 Orbitr shall not be liable for: I. any loss of profits or other economic advantage; II. any loss of data; III. any loss of goodwill; IV. any loss of anticipated savings; V. any indirect or consequential losses; VI. any loss of administration costs or management time; VII. any damages or losses as a result of a force majeure event; and/or VIII. any exemplary or punitive losses, arising in respect of any representation, statement, act or omission in connection with this Agreement, whether the claim arises under contract, tort, misrepresentation, breach of statutory duty or otherwise. The parties agree that the above heads of loss are reasonable to exclude.
23.3 Subject to clause 23.1, in no event shall Orbitr’s aggregate liability to the Client under or in relation to this Agreement, in each year, exceed the Fees actually paid by the Client in that Year. For the avoidance of doubt, Orbitr does not have a contract with any User and accordingly, the Client undertakes that it shall indemnify Orbitr against any claims which Orbitr receives from any Users in relation to the Products or Services.
23.4 The parties acknowledge that this clause 23 reflects a fair allocation of risk between the parties, considering the nature of the Services and that therefore the exclusions and limitation in this clause 23 are fair and reasonable.
