Each party shall, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, keep confidential, and shall not use for any purpose other than the proper exercise of its rights under this Agreement nor disclose to any third party (except as may be required by any law or any legal or regulatory authority) any information of a confidential nature (including, without limitation, trade secrets, technical information, know-how, and information of commercial value) which may become known to it and which relates to the other party or to the other party’s business unless (i) that information is public knowledge or already known to that party at the time of disclosure or subsequently becomes public knowledge in each case other than by a breach of this Agreement, or (ii) subsequently comes lawfully into its possession from a third party. For the avoidance of doubt, any database or similar compilation which is compiled from publicly available data shall constitute information of a confidential nature notwithstanding that any or all of the data within that database is public knowledge.
15.2. Each party shall use all reasonable endeavours to prevent the unauthorised disclosure of the other party’s confidential information and You shall restrict disclosure of Our confidential information to such of your employees as need to know the same for the purpose of using the Services and You shall be responsible for ensuring that any such persons accept and adhere to equivalent obligations of confidentiality to those contained in this clause 16.
15.3. Nothing in this clause 16 shall prevent either party from disclosing any information which it is compelled by law to disclose to a court of competent jurisdiction or other body having similar authority or pursuant to any government, stock exchange or other regulations including the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
16. FORCE MAJEURE
We shall not in any circumstances be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of Our obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure results from events, circumstances or causes beyond our reasonable control. The Party whose obligations cannot be performed on time or at all as a direct result of force majeure shall use all reasonable endeavours to minimise the effect of the force majeure on the fulfilment of this Agreement. If the force majeure or the non-performance or late performance resulting from force majeure continues for a period exceeding 30 (thirty) days, the innocent Party may terminate this Agreement on giving not less than 7 (seven) days’ written notice to the other Party.
17. NOTICES
17.1. If either party gives notice in writing under this Agreement, it will do so by email or by a recorded delivery postal service to the address of the other party set out in the Agreement.
17.2. Any notice given by You to us, or by us to You, will be deemed received and properly served immediately 24 hours after an e-mail is sent, or upon signed receipt in the case of recorded delivery service. In proving the service of any notice sent by email, it will be sufficient to prove that such email was sent to the specified email address of the addressee and a delivery receipt was obtained.
17.3. The provisions of this clause 16 shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.

18.1. We may assign, transfer, novate, charge, subcontract or deal in any other manner with our rights and obligations under this Agreement to another person, but this will not affect Your rights or our obligations under this Agreement.
18.2. You may not assign, transfer, sub-license or otherwise dispose of or deal with Your rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other person unless We expressly agree in writing.
18.3. A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of it, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists, or is available, apart from that Act.
