CLIENT’S OBLIGATIONS
The Client will provide or assist us in obtaining whatever materials, text or information are required for the provision of the services.

The Client should not send original or unique materials to us and we accept no responsibility for loss or damage to Client material stored at our premises in any form.
The Client will review all specifications, drafts and proofs provided by us and provide feedback and/or approval in a timely manner.

Once written approval has been given the Client will have no further opportunity to make changes to the final product and we shall not be responsible for any error subsequently discovered in the final product. Nor will we be liable for any Client dissatisfaction with the product where the final product is produced in accordance with the signed-off specification. Any changes we do subsequently agree to make will be at our sole discretion and we reserve the right to charge for them. Any claims for damage or short supplied goods must be made in writing within seven days of goods being received.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Client represents and warrants to NDS that any elements of text, graphics, images, designs, trademarks or other material supplied or disclosed to NDS are the property of the Client or the Client has permission from the rightful owner to use each of those elements and that its use of such material shall not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. Any product produced by NDS for the Client using or containing anything supplied or disclosed by the Client which infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party will remain the liability of the Client and the Client will indemnify and keep indemnified NDS against any loss, damage claim or expense arising out of such infringement.
Where all sums owed to us under this agreement have been received, NDS will assign to the Client all intellectual property rights (including copyright) in the final product as are owned by us and capable of assignment.

All other warranties or representations whether express, implied or statutory, with respect to our service, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement are hereby excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law. No oral or written information or advice given by us shall create a warranty. In no event shall NDA be liable to the Client for any loss of business, loss of opportunity, profits or goodwill or for any other indirect or consequential loss or damage whatsoever. This shall apply even where such a loss was reasonably foreseeable or we had been made aware of the possibility of the Client incurring such a loss. The Client shall indemnify and keep indemnifying NDS from and against any and all damage, loss, costs, expenses (including legal costs and expenses) and liability whether civil or criminal which we may incur or suffer resulting from any act, neglect or default of the Client or its agents, employees or licensees, or the infringement of the intellectual property rights of any third party.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
The parties agree to treat as secret and confidential and not at any time for any reason during or after the termination of the agreement to disclose or permit to be disclosed or made use of any confidential information concerning the other’s business which they may acquire in the course of the agreement.
The above restrictions shall not prevent: (a) the disclosure of information if required by law; or (b) the disclosure of information which is already in the public domain otherwise than through unauthorized disclosure by the Consultancy.
GENERAL
Amendment: Any valid alteration to or variation of this agreement must be in writing and signed on behalf of each of the parties by a duly authorized representative.
No Waiver: No failure of either party to enforce at any time or for any period any term or condition of the agreement shall constitute a waiver of such term or of that party’s right later to enforce all terms and conditions of the agreement.
Severance: If any provision of the agreement is declared by any judicial or other competent authority to be illegal, void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable, or indication of the same is received by either of the parties from any relevant competent authority, such provision shall be deemed severed from the agreement and the remaining terms of the agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Force Majeure: Neither party shall be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform its obligations under the agreement to the extent that and for so long as the delay or failure results from any cause or circumstance whatsoever beyond its reasonable control (an “event of force majeure”) provided that the event of force majeure is not due to the fault or negligence of that party. Each party shall use its reasonable endeavors to minimize the effects of any event of force majeure. The Client’s obligation to pay all amounts due under this agreement is explicitly excluded from the provisions of this clause.
