(a) suspend, close down or restrict the whole or any part of the Services in order to carry out emergency or other repairs, maintenance and/or improvements or to prevent overload of the network or to preserve the safety, security or integrity of the Services and any Internet traffic conveyed; and/or

(b) give the Recipient instructions on how to use the Services. The Recipient agrees to comply with any instructions provided in accordance with this clause.

2.4         Verifone will notify the Recipient as soon as possible if either Verifone or its supplier, contractors, agents, employees, representatives or anyone else involved in providing the Services and/or the Equipment, require access to the Recipient’s premises, to install the Services and/or the Equipment or to carry out repairs, maintenance or upgrades. Where such notice is received by the Recipient, the Recipient agrees to grant Verifone, and/or such other persons acting on behalf of or in the name of Verifone, access to the Recipient’s premises. Verifone will meet the reasonable requirements of the Recipient, and the end user agrees to meet our reasonable requirements, concerning the safety of people on the Recipient’s premises.

2.5         The Recipient is responsible for Verifone’s or its Supplier’s Equipment and must not add to, modify or in any way interfere with, nor allow anyone else (other than someone authorized by Verifone or the Supplier) to do so. The Recipient will be liable to Verifone for any loss of or damage to the Verifone or Supplier’s Equipment whilst it is in the Recipient’s possession, custody or control, except where such loss or damage is due to fair wear and tear or is caused by Verifone or anyone acting on Verifone’s behalf.

Where such software is owned by or licenced to Verifone, Verifone will grant the Recipient a revocable, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive licence to use it for the duration of the Agreement (or, if shorter the duration of any licence of the software to Verifone).

Verifone prohibits the use of Internet usage on the SIMs in connection with any of the Services provided to the Customer and/or the Recipient. Verifone and its Supplier have no responsibility for any goods, services, information, software, or other materials which the Recipient may obtain from a third party when using the Internet.

Neither Verifone, nor any of its agents, suppliers, contractors, licensees, employees and information providers, involved in providing the Services, are able to control the content of the Internet. The Recipient, therefore, agrees that Verifone shall not be held responsible for the publication, transmission or reception of any defamatory material or information of any kind, other than information which is inserted by Verifone. The Recipient specifically acknowledges that Verifone has given no warranties as to the quality, content or accuracy of information received through, or as a result of the use of, the Services.

(c) that the sums payable by the Recipient under the Agreement have been calculated on the basis that Verifone shall exclude liability in accordance with the Agreement.

5.15       In no circumstances whatsoever will Verifone be liable to the Recipient (whether in contract, or for breach of duty, or negligence or otherwise) for any indirect, incidental or special loss or damage or any loss of business or of contracts, profit, opportunity, goodwill, reputation, or anticipated savings, or for any loss or corruption of data which arises out of or in connection with any use of, or inability to use, the Services and/or the Equipment.

7.1         The Recipient agrees that Verifone may suspend or terminate the Service and/or the Recipient account and/or terminate the Agreement at any time, without prior notice or refund to the Recipient, and without affecting any of Verifone’s accrued rights or claims, either:

(a) where Verifone reasonably believes that the Services are being used in breach of clauses 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7 of this Exhibit D;

(b) for non-payment (when due) of the Charges or any other sum due from the Recipient under the Agreement or any other agreement with Verifone;

(c) for any other material breach of the Agreement by the Recipient;

(d) where the Recipient has breached the Agreement in any other way on three or more occasions; or

(e) where the Recipient is or becomes insolvent or suffers any distress or execution or other legal process to be levied or enforced or sued upon or against any part of its property, assets or revenue and which is not discharged or stayed within seven (7) days, or the Recipient ceases or threatens to cease to carry on business. The Recipient also agrees that where this Agreement or the Recipient account is terminated for any reason the Services will automatically terminate.

7.2         The Recipient agrees that Verifone’s resources, used in providing the Services, are limited and that any reckless or wasteful use of the Services by the Recipient may affect those resources and the services provided to other the Customers. The Recipient agrees that Verifone may suspend or terminate the Recipient’s access to the Services where Verifone decides, acting reasonably, that the Recipient is using the Services in a reckless or wasteful manner.

7.3         The Recipient agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clauses 3 and 7.1 of this Exhibit D (but without affecting Verifone’s other rights to terminate under this Agreement), Verifone may terminate all or any of the Services at any time, on thirty (30) days’ notice, and on repayment to the Recipient of a proportion of the Charges which reflects the period agreed for provision of the Services which has yet to expire at the point of termination. Any refund that is due to the Recipient, will be made by Verifone following the cancellation of the Services, and will be made direct to the Recipient’s credit card or bank account (notified to Verifone for this purpose) by BACS transfer. Should the Recipient fail to provide suitable bank or credit card details to allow a refund to be made, the Recipient will lose the right to such refund.

7.4         Any suspension of the Services by Verifone under the provisions of clause 7.1 of this Exhibit D will not constitute a termination of the Agreement and Verifone may require the Recipient to pay a reconnection fee to recommence the Services together with the relevant Charges.

7.5         The Recipient may terminate all or any of the Services, at any time after the Minimum Term, subject to the Minimum Cancellation Notice Period. Should the Recipient wish to terminate a Service in accordance with this clause, it must give written notice to Verifone. Where the Recipient terminates within the Minimum Term it will be liable to pay the Charges due in respect of that Minimum Term.

7.6         Verifone may terminate all or any of the Services by notice equal to the Minimum Cancellation Notice Period (to expire at any time on or after the Minimum Period) without Verifone incurring any liability.

7.7         Unless otherwise stated in the Terms and Conditions specified in this Exhibit and the Recipient Agreement, the Minimum Cancellation Notice Period is thirty (30) days (to expire at any time on or after the Minimum Period or Minimum Term, as the case may be).

7.8         The Recipient agrees to compensate Verifone for any costs incurred by it due to the cessation of any Service (either when cancelling the service or as a result of a premises move where a cessation and new provision of service is required) or cessation of the telephone line over which the Service is provided.

1. Assignments and Transfer of Rights and Obligations
