These terms and conditions cover the supply of consultancy, software design, graphical design, and related services.

1. General Terms

1.1. “We” and “us” means 10 Digital ltd. trading at 1 Innovation Village, Cheetah Road, Coventry CV1 2TL.

1.2. “You” means the person (which includes a company or other business) contracting to obtain goods, software licences or services from us.

1.3. Where “you” means more than one person, each one of you is responsible, individually, for each of the obligations of all of you under this agreement.

1.4. We agree to supply you with the goods, software licences or services (as appropriate) set out in the quotation for the price set out on the quotation and subject to the terms set out in it, in this agreement and in the other documents referred to in this agreement and the quotation (as appropriate).

1.5. In this agreement, “staff” includes employees and subcontractors.

2. The Agreement

2.1. These terms and conditions (including documents specifically referred to in it) are the whole of the terms and conditions governing the agreement between us, unless we both agree to any amendments in writing.

2.2. “this agreement” means (in reverse order of precedence):

2.2.1. these terms and conditions;

2.2.2. terms and conditions referred to in this agreement;

2.2.3. documents explicitly referred to in the quotation;

2.2.4. the quotation; and

2.2.5. amendments to the agreement agreed in writing.

2.3. Where there is any conflict between different parts of the agreement, the item having the higher order of precedence referred to in clause

2.2 above shall prevail.

2.4. You confirm that you have told us everything you know or suspect which may make the goods or services significantly more difficult for us to make or carry out.

2.5. You confirm that you have checked the specifications set out in and attached to the quotation and that they are correct.

2.6. We cannot be held responsible for any statements we have not expressly confirmed in writing. (Customers who have been given quotations by sales staff from different companies have become mistaken as to which sales person from which company said what. If in doubt, ask us and we will respond in writing). If the quotation contains that statement, or explicitly refers to the document containing it, then it becomes part of the contract and we will accept responsibility for it (subject to these terms and conditions).

3. Definitions

3.1. Any rule of interpretation that is contrary to common sense does not apply to this agreement. Any part of these terms and conditions, or any terms and conditions referred to in it which is in italics (like this) is not part of it, but is simply a comment.

3.2. Paragraph headings are merely a guide and are not intended to be a part of this agreement.

4. Quotations

4.1. A quotation does not amount to a contractual offer and is an indication that we may be willing to supply at a particular price.

4.2. In any event, no quotation is valid after 30 days of its issue.

4.3. No price specified in the quotation or elsewhere includes VAT or other applicable taxes or duties unless specifically stated.

5. Amendments to Specifications and Cancellation

5.1. We may alter the specifications of goods, software or services from time to time so long as the alteration does not make the goods, software or services substantially any worse. If you ask us to alter the specification after the order has been placed we may consider doing so (at our discretion) but you are warned that this may entail an increase in the price. A variation to the specification (including the price) (as opposed to a variation to the contract) is only valid where signed by one of our authorised sales staff.

5.2. If, after you have placed an order, you wish to cancel it, we may consider doing so (at our discretion) if we agree, subject to you paying us our anticipated loss on cancellation (including loss of reasonable profit).

6. Rights of others and Permissions

6.1. If we have agreed that we are to do anything under this agreement on your instructions, and as a result we are in breach of any rights of anyone else (or anyone else threatens us with proceedings for breach of their rights) you agree to indemnify us against any loss we may suffer, including legal costs, in defending or resisting the proceedings or claim, or settling the proceedings or claim on legal advice. Your obligations under this clause will remain after the rest of this agreement has terminated whatever the reason for termination.

6.2. If you come across any circumstances which may lead to a claim under clause 6.1 above, you agree to tell us about them as soon as possible.

6.3. If, as a result of such a claim or threat, we decide that it is no longer commercially sensible to proceed with your order, we may cancel the order in accordance with the provision set out below.

6.4. We will use reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that nothing we do under this agreement will infringe the rights of others. If we do anything under this agreement which results in an actual or threatened infringement of the rights of anyone else (provided that it was something which was not done at your explicit direction or with your specific consent) (“a claim”) we may at our option:

6.4.1. obtain a licence or settlement of the claim (at no cost to you);

6.4.2. perform our obligation in a different way to avoid the claim;

6.4.3. cancel the agreement under clause 10.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1. You acknowledge that material of any nature which we provide you with, either under this agreement or otherwise (for example, quotations or other pre-contractual material) may contain intellectual property which is either our property or licensed to us (including copyright, trade marks, registered and unregistered designs and patents). Nothing in this agreement is intended either

7.1.1. as a licence for you to use such intellectual property

7.1.2. or as a transfer of such intellectual property unless explicitly stated in writing.

8. Sub Contracting

8.1. We may sub-contract any of the services we have agreed to provide under this contract at our discretion.

8.2. Where we have sub-contracted any services to a third party specified by you, we shall not be liable for any nonperformance of that third party’s obligations, and for the purposes of this agreement, any delay or hindrance caused by or attributable to that third party shall be considered to have been caused by you.

9. Third Party Recommendations and Statements

9.1 As part of carrying out our obligations under this agreement we may recommend or suggest that someone else carry out work, or supplies goods, software or services. By making this recommendation or suggestion, we do not guarantee that work or those goods, software or services. However, we accept responsibility for the recommendation or suggestion if, at the time we made it, a professional with our knowledge of the circumstances could not reasonably have made that recommendation or suggestion. In that case, we will accept liability as if we did the work or supplied the goods, software or services ourselves, and subject to these terms and conditions, provided that you let us have full conduct of any claim against the third party in question.

9.2 Where we provide goods or software originally manufactured or developed by others, we may pass on to you statements or representations about such software or goods. We pass this information on to you in good faith but we do not undertake to verify them or guarantee their accuracy, and exclude liability except to the extent that we may have been negligent in passing on such information to you.

10. Unusual Circumstances

10.1. If circumstances arise which are largely beyond our control, and which make it no longer commercially sensible for us to continue your order, we may cancel it on the terms set out below:

10.2. If we decide to cancel it

10.2.1. we shall give you notice, and we shall not be responsible for any loss to you which arises because of that decision (although any other rights which you may have arising before we made that decision will still stand); and

10.2.2. you will pay us a reasonable sum in relation to the proportion of your order which we have fulfilled.

11. Consequential Loss and Our Liability

11.1. Unless explicitly stated in the quotation in writing, we do not accept liability for any loss of any kind. Including but not limited to consequential loss. UNLESS STATED EXPLICITLY IN THE QUOTATION WE HAVE PRICED THIS CONTRACT ON THE BASIS THAT CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS AND ALL OTHER LOSSES OR LIABILITIES OF ANY NATURE HAS BEEN EXCLUDED: IF YOU WISH US TO BEAR LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR ANY OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGE OR LIABILITY WE MAY CONSIDER DOING SO BUT ON THE BASIS THAT THE CONTRACT PRICE WILL HAVE TO BE INCREASED TO COVER THE INCREASED RISK, WHETHER OR NOT WE CHOOSE TO BEAR IT THROUGH OUR INSURANCE. Consequential loss includes (but is not limited to) loss of profits, loss of anticipated savings and costs of loss of staff time.

11.2. If we have not accepted a different level of liability or deemed to have liability under the contract then our entire liability under this Contract shall be limited to the value of the goods, software licences or services provided under it (or, in the case of a breach of any of the terms referred to in clause 16 below, the appropriate level of liability contained within those terms).

11.3. Nothing at all in this agreement (which includes all documentation referred to in it) is designed or intended to reduce or restrict our liability for the death of or personal injury to anyone caused by our negligence or the negligence of anyone for whom we are responsible (which may include, for example, our employees, sub-contractors or agents)

11.4. Where third party licence(s) are required as part of this agreement, we will act as an agent to purchase and accept these on your behalf (e.g. you shall be the licensee). We will make available upon request the terms and conditions relating to such licence(s). In all instances, we will provide information relating to any third party licence(s) required and any future expected costs.

12.2. If you fail to pay the whole or part of any sum you owe to us (whether because of this agreement or not) by the time it comes due for payment, all sums which you owe us (whether under this agreement or not) will become due for payment immediately, and we may issue court proceedings against you to recover them without giving you any further notice. Time is of the essence in respect of payments due to us.

12.3. You must pay us the whole of the amount due, and may not set off or deduct anything from this amount without our written permission.

You agree that you will use confidential information solely for the purposes of this agreement and for evaluating future products or services supplied by us, and that you shall not disclose, whether directly or indirectly, to any person any confidential information unless the disclosure is required to carry out this agreement. Before you make any disclosure to another person, you must obtain from them a binding commitment to keep that information confidential. That commitment must be at least as effective as this obligation is on you.

20. Termination on Insolvency

20.1. If, in our reasonable opinion, it appears that you will be unable to meet the payment terms we have agreed we may terminate this agreement immediately without notice, in which case we shall no longer be under any obligation to do any work for you under it, and you immediately become liable to pay us all sums which you owe us (whether or not under this agreement and whether or not they have become due). In addition, you will be liable to pay us a reasonable sum representing the work we have done up to the date of termination, which shall be calculated to include the loss of anticipated profit for the whole of the contract.

21. Law

Law 22.

Waiver 22.1. If we fail to rely on our strict legal rights under this agreement, that shall not prevent us from relying on those rights at any time in the future.

22.3 The headings contained within this Agreement are for information purposes only and do not form part of the Agreement.

22.5 These Terms and any documents specifically annexed thereto constitute the whole and binding agreement to the exclusion of any other document statement, warranty or representation.

23. Disputes

23.1. If any dispute or grievance arises between us out of this agreement, before taking any further action (such as requiring us to remedy an alleged fault within a specific time), we each agree that it will be discussed by staff members of each of us who are most closely involved with the running of the contract. If that does not produce a resolution, the problem will be escalated to the respective superiors of each staff member respectively, until the problem is dealt with. Only if the respective CEOs of each party cannot reach agreement on the dispute will the matter be taken to the next stage as set out below.

23.2. Should the escalation mechanism set out in 23.1 above fail to be effective, before taking any other action we each agree to submit in good faith to a mediation procedure administered by ADR Group of Bristol, or, failing that, such other similar organisation as the President for the time being of the Law Society of England and Wales shall nominate. Unless we agree otherwise, the costs of the mediation shall be borne equally by each of us.

24. FORCE MAJEURE

24.1 Neither party shall be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement, or otherwise be liable to the other, by reason of any delay in performance or non-performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such delay or non-performance is due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of that party including, without limitation, acts of God, acts or regulations of any government or supra-national authority, war or national emergency, accident, fire, riot, strikes, lockouts, industrial disputes or epidemics (an 'Event of Force Majeure') 10 Digital ltd., 1 Innovation Village, Cheetah Road, Coventry CV1 2TL tel +44 (0) 2476 853 222  www.10digital.co.uk : enquiries@10digital.co.uk.net Page 5 of 5 provided that the party affected by an Event of Force Majeure shall immediately take reasonable steps to mitigate any losses and/or effects of an Event of Force Majeure and immediately give the other party written notification of the nature and extent of such losses and/or effects and the parties shall enter into bona fide discussions with a view to agreeing upon alternative arrangements as may be fair and reasonable.

5.2.2. We warrant that it complies substantially with its description and functions substantially in accordance with the documentation (if any) supplied with it.

5.2.3. We undertake to correct by patch or new release (at our option) that part of it which does not comply, so long as you notify us (with details) of the non-compliance within 30 days, PROVIDED THAT the non-compliance has not been caused by any modification, variation or addition to the Software not performed by or authorised by us, or is caused by the incorrect use, abuse or corruption of the Software or by use of the Software on equipment other than the Equipment specified in the Specification.

5.2.4. Except as otherwise provided in this clause, we make no other representations or warranties and expressly exclude them whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise especially as to quality or fitness of the Software for any particular purpose.

5.3. If we supply you with upgrades, or patches those upgrades or patches become incorporated into the Software and are covered by this agreement and the core software licence. New releases are also covered by this agreement and the core software licence. Your licence to use or transfer any of Our Software ceases as soon as we have supplied you with an upgrade or new release.

5.4. You agree that you will comply in all respects with the terms of the core software licence and that if you fail to comply with those terms, or any term of this agreement then we may terminate the licence.

Upon valid assignment of the software you agree to destroy all copies of the Software which remain in your possession or under your control. You should note that any assignment of the software only assigns a bare licence to it to the assignee. The assignee, if it wishes any further rights in relation to the software (for example, the right to bug-fixes, maintenance or support) will have to reregister the software with us, for which an administration fee (set at our discretion) will be required.

5.7. You agree to ensure that our copyright notice is faithfully reproduced on all copies you make of all or any part of the Software.

5.8. You acknowledge that the Software is not (unless specified specifically in the quotation) designed for mission-critical or safety-related purposes and should not be used in any such context.

5.10. We confirm that we have used commercially reasonable efforts to scan Our Software for viruses prior to delivery to you but that you are ultimately responsible for implementing virus checking on your own equipment.

6. Software Licensed by Third Parties

6.1. Where we supply software (“third party software”) that is not Our Software, we have taken reasonable steps to ensure that it does not infringe the rights of third parties. Other than a failure to comply with that obligation, we are not responsible for any infringement, except that if the infringement relates to the whole (as opposed to the part) of any software supplied under this agreement, we shall (at our option):

6.1.1. replace that software with non-infringing software;

6.1.2. obtain at no cost to you a valid licence to continue to use the software on terms that are no less beneficial to you than the terms on which you were granted the licence; or

6.1.3. refund the licence fee applicable to that software.

6.2. In any of those cases, we shall be under no further liability to you in respect of that software.

6.3. If we decide that it is not practical to obtain replacement software or a valid licence, this constitutes “unusual circumstances” referred to in clause 10 of the General Terms.

We make no representation or warranty relating to the terms and effect of such third party licence or licence agreement.

1. Who we are and the key terms for the domain services we provide 10 Digital is a full service digital agency providing domain registration and management amongst our other services. Our registered and main office is located at 1 Innovation Village, Cheetah Road, Coventry, CV1 2TL.

All domains will be registered in two yearly blocks in line with Nominet processes and will be renewed automatically unless we are advised otherwise in writing at least three months prior to your renewal date. We will send out invoices 30 days prior to your domain name renewing. We will send the invoice to the email address on the account, and it is the registrants responsibility to make sure their contact details are up to date. Our renewal and registration fees for UK and US based domains are £40.00 per domain for each two year period. Other domain registry prices (e.g. “.ie” or “.eu”) are available on request.

This fee is non-refundable should you decide to lapse your domain registration or transfer to another provider within the registration period and is payable in advance upon receipt of invoice. We can also arrange to host your domain name; this service is charged at £20.00 per domain per annum although in practice we will invoice you for two yearly blocks in line with your domain registration period. Requested changes to your hosting record on our servers will be charged at £35.00 per change and will be processed within 2 working days.

If you no longer wish to carry on with your contract with 10 Digital, please email us no less than 30 days before your services are due to be renewed. Instructions to transfer your domain to another provider will only be accepted in writing and will incur a fee of £25.00 which must be paid prior to your domain being released along with any other outstanding domain or hosting related fees. The customer acknowledges that, termination of the agreement for any reason will result in 10 Digital ceasing to provide the applicable services, with the consequences that flow from such cessation, including (but not limited to), deletion of data .e.g. hosting account(s) and mail boxes.

If you request by email that you no longer wish to have your domain name renewed, we will leave it to expire and all services that 10 Digital provides regarding that domain name will be suspended. Your domain name will then go into a 30 day protected period, after 30 days your domain will be suspended by Nominet and it will go into a 60 day grace period. If you change your mind and decide you want to retain your domain name, you still can and at the original renewal price. This request must be made, by emailing your account manager or enquiries@10digital.co.uk, before the 80th day after your domain has expired. After 90 days your domain will be cancelled and deleted from the register.

It will then be made available for resale through a third party registrar by Nominet. At this point 10 Digital can not guarantee the renewal of a domain name. All prices quoted are subject to VAT at the prevailing standard rate. These prices are current and correct at the time of publication of this Code, however may be subject to change.

Expectations and obligations When we receive your request for a new domain registration we will endeavour to action your request within 2 working days, this is subject to us having all of the information we need to be able to carry out this action on your behalf. We will ask you to put your request in writing so that there is no doubt over the spelling of the name you are hoping to register. We will confirm the actual date of your domain registration / renewal on your invoice and by doing so provide you with the expiry date for the registration period. You should be aware that when entering into a registration for a “.uk” domain name 10 Digital. will be acting as your agent and your contract will be with Nominet UK.It is important that you provide us with accurate information and let us know of any changes (e.g. change of address or phone number) so that we can keep your records up to date.

The Policy's objective is to protect 10 Digital from security problems that might have an adverse impact on its operations and that of its clients. Security problems include, but are not necessarily confined to, confidentiality (the wrong people obtaining information), integrity (information being altered without permission, whether deliberate or accidental) and availability (information not being available when it is required). The widest possible definition of security will be used to include all types of incident that impact the effective use of information. This includes the performance, consistency, reliability, accuracy and timeliness of equipment, systems, and data.

3. Principles

3.1 Approach • Use all reasonable, appropriate, practical and effective security measures to protect important processes and assets in order to achieve the security objective. • Use ISO 27001: Code of Practice for Information Security Management as a framework for guiding the approach to managing security. • Continually examine ways in which security measures to protect and enhance our business can be improved. • As a responsible organisation 10 Digital shall protect and manage its information assets to enable it to meet its contractual, legislative, privacy and ethical responsibilities. 10 Digital IT Security Policy

All members of 10 Digital shall be responsible for reporting shortfalls in existing security practices and/or improvements that could be made to Information Services.

3.3 Practices

• Risk analysis techniques will be used to identify security risks and their relative priorities. Identified risks will be responded to promptly, implementing safeguards that are appropriate, effective, culturally acceptable and practical.

• Information shall be shared as appropriate within and outside 10 Digital in order to facilitate business in an efficient and effective manner. Information may be designated as, or otherwise considered to be, confidential, and 10 Digital has obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 to that effect.

• Where practicable all actions shall be attributable to an identified individual.

• All use of computer and information systems and information (including third party information) shall be attributable, protected by safeguards and handling rules in accordance with current legislation requirements. • Subject to the requirements of current legislation 10 Digital's hosting provider, NetPlan shall monitor routinely network traffic to assure the continued integrity and security of 10 Digital and client systems. 10 Digital shall ensure that its activities can continue with minimal disruption, or other adverse impact, should it suffer any security incident to it as an organisation or to any of its locations or services.

• Actual or suspected security incidents will be reported promptly to the CEO, who will manage the incident to closure, and analyse it for lessons to be learnt.

• Documented Regulations, Procedures and Standards, education and training, will supplement these Principles. The CEO will monitor compliance with, and the effectiveness of the Policy on a regular basis. The CEO will review and bring forward for approval revisions to the Policy as appropriate. 10 Digital IT Security Policy
