maintenance (whether planned or unplanned, and routine or not) from time to time on the Services; however, we shall use
our reasonable endeavours to minimise downtime of the Services. Subject to us having used such reasonable endeavours,
we do not warrant that the provision of the Services to you will be uninterrupted or error-free.

action that we deem appropriate including terminating this Agreement under Clause 15.2.1, or suspend access to the Services

illegal, offensive or otherwise harmful. Subject to Clause 14.2, we are not responsible, and have no Liability, for Event Data.
Availability of Event Data at an Event must not be interpreted as our approval or recommendation of Event Data or any
particular Event Exhibitor Company.
5.6 We do not take steps to verify Event Exhibitor Companies or their Sellers, or the credentials they provide when signing up to
receive the benefit of the Services, where that sign up is only for access to the Events section of the Services; an Event
Exhibitor Company’s sign up status in this regard will be made clear to you in the “My Company Suppliers” section of your
Account once you have connected with them during an Event. In the event that you choose to communicate or transact with
any such Event Exhibitor Company or its Sellers, it is your responsibility to perform such verification as is necessary to ensure
any such communication or transaction you undertake is appropriate for, and beneficial to, your business. Subject to Clause
14.2, we accept no Liability for the consequences that result from you relying on the information or actions communicated to
you by such Event Exhibitor Companies or their Sellers.
5.7 Subject to Clause 14.2 and without prejudice to the rest of Clause 14, we will not have any Liability for any loss or damage,
whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, even if foreseeable, arising under or in
connection with an Event or reliance on Event Data.

information and IPR of other participants in that Event (both on a corporate and an individual level). You undertake not to
misuse or otherwise infringe any such information or IPR, and you shall be entitled to use it only for the purpose of accessing
the Event and in the way that such information and IPR is intended to be used. You agree to indemnify, and keep indemnified
and defend at your own expense, us, against all costs, claims, damages or expenses incurred by us or for which we may
become liable, due to any failure by you or your employees or agents to comply with this Clause 5.8.

check third-party data directly with those third parties for certainty when required.

10.2.1 cannot downgrade from a higher Tier to a lower Tier;
10.2.2 on Confirmation, will automatically be on the free Tier with the lowest available functionality;

10.3.2 will have their Tier downgraded or upgraded automatically as a function of their aggregate Customer Activity in

10.4 We will invoice you for the Fees in advance and as per your billing cycle (defined by the date you upgrade Tier for
Demand-Side Companies, or the date on which your aggregate Customer Activity crosses the first paid Tier threshold for
Vendor-Side Companies), and you will pay the Fees to us either on demand (required for Demand-Side Companies) and, in
all other instances unless we agree otherwise with you in writing, within 30 days of the date of each relevant invoice, by such
payment method as we may reasonably require. We will not consider any payment to be paid until we have received it in
cleared funds in full. Unless you terminate under Clause 15.2 (in which case you may request a refund on a pro rata basis for
Fees paid in advance relating to the period after termination), all Fees are non-refundable.

Prices Index in the preceding 12-month period. Any such increase shall be based on the latest available figure for the
percentage increase in the Consumer Prices Index over the previous 12-month period. For such purposes, “Consumer
Prices Index” means the Consumer Prices Index (including owner occupier’s housing costs) as published by the Office for
National Statistics from time to time, or failing such publication, such other index as may replace it from time to time.
10.7 Unless otherwise agreed between us and you (or your relevant customer) in writing, we reserve the right to increase the Fees
at our absolute discretion from time to time; in the event that you object to such increase, Clause 19 shall apply.

seven days following us providing notice to you of such outstanding payment, we may (without prejudice to any other right
or remedy available to us whether under this Agreement or by any statute, regulation or bye-law) do any or all of the
following:
10.8.1 charge interest and other costs on the overdue amount due but unpaid at the annual rate of interest set under

payment (after as well as before judgment), such interest to run from day to day and to be compounded monthly;

be used.

information and media (including Customer Data, IPR and any bill of materials) that you make available through the Services
is available to third-party validated members of our network and users of our Services (who have been authorised by you
through the Services, once you have ensured that you have been appropriately trained in the use of the Services, to access
such information and media), who may use that information and media for such purposes as they consider appropriate, at
their absolute discretion, from time to time (subject to any restrictions defined by you in sharing the information and media
with us, any written contract between you and such third-party validated members, and compliance with applicable laws,
including in respect of registration and protection of IPR). You provide such information and media to us to make available
through the Services at your own risk, and, subject to Clause 14.2, we shall have no Liability for any use, misuse, action or
omission of any third party (whether a user of the Services or otherwise) in respect of such information and media.
