5. Fees, Expenses and Payment

5.1 In consideration for the Services to be provided by KDVI hereunder, the Client shall pay to KDVI the Fees and any agreed Expenses, in accordance with the relevant Order or LoA.

5.3 If the Client fails to make a payment due to KDVI under these Terms by the due date, then, without limiting KDVI’s remedies under these Terms, the Client 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 5.3 will accrue each day at 4% 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%.

6. Confidentiality

6.1 The parties shall treat as strictly confidential and shall not disclose or permit to be disclosed, at any time during the Term and for a period of five years after termination or expiry of these Terms, to any person, the Confidential Information, except as permitted by these Terms or otherwise specifically permitted in writing by the disclosing party.

6.2 Each party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to its employees, officers and directors contractors who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of carrying out the party’s obligations under these Terms, provided that each party shall: (i) inform such persons of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information before disclosure; (ii) procure that such persons shall, in relation to any Confidential Information disclosed to them, comply with the obligations set out in these Terms; and (iii) at all times be liable for the failure of any such persons to comply with the obligations set out in these Terms.

If any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by law, the recipient party shall promptly notify the disclosing party prior to disclosing such Confidential Information unless prohibited by the terms of such legal requirement.

6.5 Subject to any materials or Intellectual Property Rights licensed under these Terms, on the termination or expiration of these Terms, the recipient party shall promptly upon the disclosing party’s request return to the disclosing party all documents and materials containing, reflecting, incorporating or based on the other party’s Confidential Information.

6.6 If either KDVI or the Client is required by law, by any governmental or other regulatory authority or by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to disclose Confidential Information, that party shall (to the extent it is legally permitted to do so) provide the other with prompt notice of such disclosure.

13.4 KDVI shall ensure that all of its employees performing the Services have the necessary professional liability insurance cover (to include liability cover and cover for the costs of any postponement or cancellation).

Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, KDVI may terminate these Terms by giving the Client 3 months’ written notice.

    15. Consequences of Termination

    15.1 The termination of any individual Order or LoA under these Terms shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Order or LoA. Each Order or LoA shall be considered independent and separate, and the termination of one shall not lead to the termination of others, unless explicitly stated in the terminated Order or LoA.

    15.2 On termination or expiry of these Terms, the Client shall immediately pay to KDVI all of KDVI’s outstanding unpaid invoices and interest and, in respect of Services supplied but for which no invoice has been submitted, KDVI shall submit an invoice, which shall be payable by the Client immediately on receipt.

    15.3 Termination or expiry of these Terms shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination or expiry, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Terms which existed at or before the date of termination or expiry.

    15.4 Any provision of the Terms that expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination or expiry of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect.

    16. Dispute Resolution

    a. either party shall give to the other written notice of the Dispute, setting out its nature and full particulars (“Dispute Notice”), together with relevant supporting documents. On service of the Dispute Notice, an appropriate representative of each of the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute;

    b. if such representatives of the parties are for any reason unable to resolve the Dispute within 14 days of service of the Dispute Notice, the Dispute shall be referred to the executive officer of each of the parties who shall attempt in good faith to resolve it; and

    c. if such executive officers of the parties are for any reason unable to resolve the Dispute within 14 days of it being referred to them, the parties will attempt to settle it by mediation in accordance with the CEDR Model Mediation Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the mediator shall be nominated by CEDR Solve. To initiate the mediation, a party must serve notice in writing (“ADR notice”) to the other party to the Dispute, requesting a mediation. A copy of the ADR notice should be sent to CEDR Solve. The mediation will start not later than 30 days after the date of the ADR notice.

    16.2 This clause is without prejudice to each party’s right to seek interim relief against the other party through any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its rights and interests, or to enforce the obligations of the other party.

    a. it is free to enter into these Terms;
