A. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, these terms and conditions including any schedules and annexes attached hereto (“Ts&Cs”) shall apply to each order form entered into between the customer entity identified therein (“Client”, “you”, “your”) and &Open Gifts Limited, an Irish Corporation with registered number 599378 with its registered office at 13 St. Clare’s Avenue, Harold’s Cross, Dublin 6W, Ireland (“&Open”, “we”, “us”, “our”) (each an “Order Form”).
B. These Ts&Cs and the Order Form (together, the “Agreement”) come into effect on the Effective Date (as identified in the Order Form) and set out the terms on which we will provide you with: (i) access to the &Open Enterprise gifting platform (the “Platform”); and (ii) the related Enterprise gifting products and services specified herein, (together, the “Services”).
C. This Agreement may be supplemented, amended or replaced from time to time, by mutual written agreement. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in the relevant Order Form, if there is any inconsistency between these Ts&Cs and an Order Form, these Ts&Cs shall prevail.
1.1 Subject to your continuing compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the payment of the Fees, we hereby grant to you (and your employees and contractors) a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access and use the Services in the Region (as defined in the Order Form) from the Effective Date until the termination or expiry of this Agreement (the “Term”), solely for the purpose of enabling you to provide gifts (as agreed with you and ordered under Clause 2.2 (“Gifts”)) to recipients in the Region.
1.2 You shall ensure that the number of persons using the Platform does not exceed the Authorised Users (as noted in the Order Form). You agree to use the Services solely in accordance with all applicable laws and to not do, or omit to do, anything that would put us in breach of applicable law. Save to the extent that such restrictions are not enforceable under applicable law, you agree not to (and not to attempt to): (a) sell, copy, duplicate, rent, lend, distribute, transfer or assign all or any part of the use of the Services; (b) decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify or otherwise try to discover any source code used in the performance of the Services; or (c) obtain unauthorised access to our computer systems or take part in any action interfering with the performance of the Services.
1.3 If you request changes (including customisations or integrations) to the Platform, implementation of such shall be at our sole discretion, subject to the payment by you of any relevant Implementation Fees described in Clause 3.1(e) and subject to Clause 4.1. You agree to provide us (and our subcontractors) with such assistance and access to information systems or tools (including via APIs) as required to perform the Services (including implementation services) and to otherwise meet our obligations hereunder. You acknowledge that we make no warranties and shall have no liability or obligation in relation to the use of any third party service for integrations or customisations that we have implemented at your request.
1.4 We reserve the right to monitor your use of the Services in order to ensure your compliance with this Agreement, and for the purposes of improving the operation and functionality of the Services and your use of them. We reserve the right at our discretion, without prejudice to our other rights and remedies to suspend, limit or withdraw your access to the Services, including: (a) for technical reasons relating to the performance and/or security of the Services; (b) where we are entitled to exercise a right of termination pursuant to this Agreement; or (c) if continuing to provide the Services would or is likely to infringe upon the intellectual property rights (“IPR”) or other rights of any third party.
1.5 We will take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate availability and performance of the Platform and to fix Platform related issues you report to us via email to: support@andopen.co, however, to the extent permissible under applicable laws we provide the Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis; and do not warrant, represent nor undertake that the Services shall: (a) be uninterrupted, secure, free of errors, omissions, defects, software viruses or other bugs; (b) be compatible with your IT environment; (c) not be subject to hacking or other attacks and/or failures of, software, data and/or transmission networks; or (d) that the Services will meet your requirements.
2.1 During the Term, we shall use reasonable efforts to supply such quantities of Gifts as you may order for delivery in the Region under Gift Orders accepted by us in accordance with this Clause 2.
2.2 You may order Gifts via completing a written “gift order confirmation” specifying the type and quantity of Gifts required (each a “Gift Order”). Each Gift Order shall be deemed to be a separate offer by you to purchase the Gifts on the terms of this Agreement, including any Initial Minimum Order Quantities (as set out in the Order Form) specified by us, which we shall be free to accept or decline in our absolute discretion. No Gift Order shall be deemed to be accepted by us until we have issued either written notice of acceptance or an invoice in respect of the relevant Gift Order. While we will use reasonable efforts to meet any Gift Order properly submitted, we cannot guarantee the availability of Gifts and reserve the right to offer substitute gifts where the chosen Gifts are not available subject to prior consultation with you. We shall only deliver Gifts to recipients in the Region, unless otherwise agreed in writing. We will provide up to the maximum number of Gift curation iterations identified in the Order Form (“Gift Curation Iterations”) per Gift Order, above which we reserve the right to charge you an additional “Gift Curation Fee” which we will communicate to you prior to creating any further Gift Curation Iterations.
2.3 We will invoice you for each Gift Order upon the same being accepted by us in accordance with Clause 2.2 and you shall pay for each Gift Order prior to any Gift in such Gift Order being made available for distribution. Save with respect to Gifts that we are inbounding only for you (where title remains with you at all times), title to the Gifts shall pass to you on the later of our receipt of payment for the relevant Gift and delivery of the Gift to our Storage Facility. Risk in the Gifts passes to you when the Gift is delivered (as evidenced by our third party carrier’s delivery records) to the relevant Gift recipient.
2.4 We will notify you once the relevant Gifts (in respect of which we have received payment in full under a Gift Order) are ready for gifting. We will store the Gifts specified in each accepted Gift Order in our storage facilities (as may change from time to time) (“Storage Facility”) on your behalf until you instruct us to arrange for the delivery of the relevant Gift(s) to a recipient.
2.5 We reserve the right to charge long-term storage fees in respect of any Gifts that remain in the Storage Facility for 6 months or longer (“LT Storage Fees”) which we will communicate to you in writing prior to invoicing. In the event that you do not pay the relevant LT Storage Fees within 30 days of our invoice, we reserve the right, on at least 30 days’ prior written notice, to dispose, destroy or otherwise deal with the Gifts as we may determine in our sole discretion.
3.1 You agree to pay the amounts identified in the Order Form (“Fees”) in accordance with this Clause 3, which may include any combination of the following. Unless otherwise stated below, Fees shall be based on our rate card provided to you from time to time and invoiced in accordance with the below for each relevant service:
(a) “Platform Fees” in respect of our ongoing support and maintenance of the Platform, invoiced on the Effective Date, and thereafter either: (i) monthly in advance on the 1st of each month; or (ii) annually in advance on the anniversary of the Effective Date, as agreed in the Order Form.
(b) “Gift Fees”, in respect of the price for Gifts purchased by you as identified in an accepted Gift Order, invoiced upon our acceptance of the relevant Gift Order.
(c) “Fulfilment Fees” in respect of us arranging the fulfilment and shipping of Gift(s) to a recipient, invoiced monthly in arrears on the last business day of the relevant month in which we provide the relevant service.
(d) “Inbounding Fees” in respect of us arranging for the delivery of Client-procured Gifts (if any) to the Storage Facility, invoiced monthly in arrears on the last business day of the relevant month in which we provide the relevant service.
(e) “Implementation Fees” in respect of us providing Platform implementation services, which shall be a fixed fee communicated to you prior to us providing such services, invoiced on the Effective Date and thereafter in advance of the services commencing.
(f) “LT Storage Fees”, as described in Clause 2.5, which shall be first invoiced on the 6 month anniversary of the relevant Gifts first being delivered to our Storage Facility and thereafter until the relevant Gifts no longer remain in our Storage Facility.
(g) “Gift Curation Fees" as described in Clause 2.2, invoiced upon our acceptance of the relevant Gift curation request.
3.2 During the Term, &Open may increase or decrease the Fees in its sole discretion. Any change to the Platform Fees will only become effective upon commencement of a Renewal Term. We will give you reasonable prior notice of any change in Platform Fees to give you an opportunity to terminate before such change becomes effective. For the avoidance of doubt, any discount only applies for the Initial Term as set out in a particular Order Form and does not roll over to any Renewal Term.
3.3 All payments made under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or deduction, in the currency stated on the relevant Order Form by wire transfer to our nominated bank account (save with respect to Platform Fees which shall be made via Direct Debit or automated card payment as agreed), within 30 days of the date of invoice. Except where the contrary is stated in an Order Form, all Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes and we may charge applicable taxes at the prevailing rate on any Fees. All Fees are stated exclusive of any additional taxes, levies or fees that may apply to the Services, which will be borne by you. If you do not make payment of any Fees as and when due, then: (a) interest shall accrue on the full amount outstanding at the rate of 4% above the base lending rate of Euribor from time to time, from the due date until the date of actual payment; and (b) we may suspend your access to the Services (or any of them).
4.1 We own full right, title and interest in and to all IPR in the Services (including the Platform). Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to transfer ownership of any IPR: (a) belonging to you or us prior to the Effective Date; or (b) in any items which are independently developed by you or us otherwise than under this Agreement. Any IPR that we develop in connection with this Agreement (including any updates, upgrades, enhancements, modifications or customisations made to the Services) will be owned by us.

You represent and warrant that such use of the Client IPR will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party.
4.3 You hereby indemnify, keep indemnified and hold harmless us from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses and other liability (including any legal costs) suffered or incurred by &Open, its directors, employees, representatives, contractors or subcontractors as a result of any third party dispute, claim, demand or action against &Open arising from: (a) your use of the Services; and/or (b) &Open’s use of the Client IPR under this Agreement.
4.4 You acknowledge that the Services incorporate certain third party IPR and information and that you will comply with any terms and conditions that are imposed from time to time on &Open and its licencees in relation to the same, as such terms and conditions will be notified by us to you in writing.
4.5 Neither party shall publish or use the name or logo of the other party without obtaining prior written approval from the other party, except as permitted by this Agreement or required to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.2 You represent, warrant and undertake that: (a) you have all such authorisations, consents, notifications and approvals required to provide the Platform to gift recipients; (b) you will not (and will not suffer or permit any third party to) use the Platform in a manner that would cause any party to be party to any unlawful act or transaction; and (c) you will procure that only your authorised employees, contractors and gift recipients will access and use the Platform.
5.3 Except as stated in this Clause 5, we exclude to the fullest extent permitted by law, all express, implied, statutory and customary warranties, terms and conditions including as to the merchantability, fitness for any particular purpose or otherwise with respect to the Services or any Gifts.
6.1 Subject to Clause 6.2 & 6.3, &Open’s maximum aggregate liability, whether based on an action or claim in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement shall in no circumstance exceed the total Fees paid under this Agreement in respect of the 12 month period prior to the event giving rise to the first claim.

6.4 Any claim under this Agreement by you must be brought within 120 days of the relevant cause of action arising. Failure to do so will render the claim null and void.
7.1 Each party agrees to hold all information of a confidential nature (whether or not marked as such and including written and oral information) of the other party (“Confidential Information”) in strict confidence and shall not, without the prior written consent of the other party, disclose to any third party such Confidential Information or use it in any way, commercially or otherwise, except in connection with the performance of this Agreement and only to those persons who have a need to know and are bound by obligations of confidentiality no less protective in all material respects than those set forth in this Agreement
