Grofar Ltd, a company incorporated in England, company registration number 09505988 and having its registered office at Walden House, Foxcombe Road, Boars Hill, Oxford OX1 5DL, England ('the Provider')
You ('the Customer')
Subject to the Customer's payment of the Licence Fees, Grofar grants to you, and you accept a Licence to use the Grofar Software Platform SERVICE (collectively described as the "SERVICE") delivered with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the SERVICE includes, without limitation, any images, clipart, and fonts that may be provided on the Grofar Software Platform and website, or otherwise provided herewith.
This Licence permits you to use the SERVICE in accordance with the following conditions:
Use of the SERVICE is limited to the products specified in your invoice.
Use of the SERVICE is limited to the number of years from the date of purchase as indicated by the invoice provided by Grofar or its distributor, and may be automatically renewed upon payment for additional years of use.
THE PROVIDER'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS cover all copyrights, patents, utility models, trademarks, service marks, registered designs, moral rights, design rights (whether registered or unregistered), technical information, know-how, database rights, business names and logos, computer data, generic rights, proprietary information rights and all other similar proprietary rights (and all applications and rights to apply for registration or protection of any of the foregoing) as may exist anywhere in the world.
Service availability and support terms are set out in the Grofar Service Level Agreement, available on request.
Exceed the number of users as specified by the invoice, without first purchasing an additional Licence from Grofar.
Modify, sell or distribute any of the SERVICE, or use any of the content within the SERVICE other than to send and report on electronic communications transmitted solely through this SERVICE.
Distribute or publish any part of the SERVICE as part of an electronic document or web page other than for the promotion of the SERVICE within or on behalf of the establishment for which the product is licensed.
Rent, lease, time-share, sub-licence, or transfer the SERVICE.
Modify, translate, adapt, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, or in any way copy the source code from this web SERVICE.
Copy or emulate in any way the design, layout, or functionality of this SERVICE.
The Provider shall have no obligations under this Agreement during a given Licence Period until it, or its distributor, has received the Fee in full and in cleared funds from the Customer.
The Customer shall pay the Fee for the Licence Period in full within 30 days of the date of purchase as indicated on the invoice.
If the Customer fails to make a payment due to the Provider by the invoice due date, then the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause 4 will accrue in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 at 8% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.
We reserve the right to introduce or revise charges for any service provided at our sole discretion, but any changes will be notified at least 30 days prior to introduction unless enforced by a third party (e.g. a VAT rate change or similar).
The Licence Period is one calendar year from the date of purchase or as indicated on the invoice supplied by Grofar or its distributor at the time of purchase.
In order to maintain continuous service, the Licence for the SERVICE will automatically renew at the end of the term.
If you wish to cancel your Licence, this must be done in writing, giving no less than 30 days' notice in advance of the renewal date.
You may terminate the Licence without any refund at any time by giving 30 days' notice in writing.
If you don't provide the required notice, then you will be liable for the following year's Licence Fee in full.
Should the service not be used for whatever reason, the Provider or its distributor shall not be responsible for any lack of use and no refunds will therefore be payable.
We reserve the right to cancel this Agreement at any time if you are in breach of any of these Terms and Conditions.
On termination, personal data will be handled in accordance with the Data Protection and Sharing Policy.
40 days prior to the end of any Licence Period, the Provider will automatically submit an invoice for the Fee (at the Provider's then current rates) for a further 12 months (or such other period as the Provider may offer). If You do not inform the Provider more than 30 days prior to the end of the Licence Period, the Licence Period shall be deemed to be extended by a period of 12 months (or such other period as the Provider may offer) commencing from the expiry of the then current Licence Period.

The Provider may prevent You on a temporary or permanent basis from sending email messages or instant messages to email addresses or mobile phone numbers where the recipient or any third party involved in the transmission of messages has notified the Provider that messages from You are 'SPAM', or where the email address or phone number is no longer valid.

We may terminate this Licence at any time if you are found in breach of any of these terms. For the avoidance of doubt, if your Licence is terminated in accordance with this paragraph, you will not be entitled to a refund of your subscription fee.
