2.5. In relation to the Authorised End Users, you undertake that:

(a) the maximum number of Authorised End Users you will authorise to access and use the Software Service shall not exceed the number of permitted user licences as agreed by us from time to time. Generally this will be on a “Pay per Licence basis”, i.e. one licence per one Authorised End User;

On registration we will collect certain personal data belonging to each Authorised End User and we will process the relevant data in accordance with our Privacy Notice and/or our data processing terms with the Subscriber (as the case may be).

3.3. You shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to prevent any unauthorised access to, or use of, the Software Service and, in the event of any such unauthorised access or use, promptly notify us.

4. Fees & Payment

4.1. You agree to pay all applicable Fees (including the Subscription Fee) in accordance with the Confirmation Email (e.g. monthly or annually). The Subscription Fee shall be payable in advance of the Start Date. All fees unless otherwise stated do not include VAT.

4.2. For details on current Fees payable by Subscribers for the Software Service please see app.senprofessional.com/pricing. For professional sports teams, academies and organisations, we will have communicated the prices payable for our services separately via email as determined by your requirements. 

4.3. A valid debit/credit card will be required from you in order to register an account that incurs a monetary subscription fee. Fees will be collected from the card holder’s account generally on a monthly or annual basis for the Subscription Term. SENPRO does not handle any payments itself and accordingly payments will be collected via our payment processor using Third Party Software.  You may therefore be required to register an account with such third party payment processor and are responsible for reading and complying with their terms and conditions. You are also responsible for ensuring that your contact information, billing information and debit/credit card information is accurate and kept up to date. We will have no liability or responsibility with respect to this.

4.4. We reserve the right to charge you interest in respect of the late payment of any sum due under this Agreement (after as well as before judgment) at the rate of 4 per cent per annum above the base rate from time to time of the Bank of England from the due date until payment.

4.5. We may at our discretion suspend access to the Software Service immediately in the event that any Fees due from you are outstanding and, we may delete your account with SENPRO including any Subscription Materials uploaded or otherwise inputted into the Software Service where sums are outstanding for 14 days or more from the payment due date.

4.6. In the event this Agreement is terminated by you under clause 10.4, we will refund a pro rata proportion of any Subscription Fees paid in advance by you. In the event we terminate this Agreement under clause 10.4 or you terminate other than under clause 10.4 then no Subscription Fees paid in advance by you will be refundable to you. However other than as set out in this clause or elsewhere in this Agreement, Fees will only be refundable at our sole discretion and we are unlikely to refund or provide credits for partial use of our Services within a given month, in the event that our Software Service is unused, or in the event that you terminate, or downgrade your account.

4.7. Discount codes (where applicable) cannot be used in conjunction with any other discount or offer. SENPRO reserves the right to withdraw or cancel any discount codes without notice. To activate a discount code, you must enter the code during the purchasing process. Discount codes cannot be exchanged for cash or other payment and cannot be re-sold. By using a discount code, we may restrict access to certain features of the Software Service. 

4.8. We may at our sole discretion offer a free fourteen (14) day trial to help you determine whether our Software Service is right for you and your business. A valid debit/credit card is required to commence your free trial and the debit/credit card provider will automatically be billed the agreed amount at the end of the free trial. If you do not wish to continue using our Software Service, we recommend that you terminate your account before the completion of the free trial period. Please contact senpro@theiopn.com should you require assistance terminating your account. SENPRO reserves the right to restrict you to one free trial per person.

4.9. We reserve the right to change or amend our Subscription Fees at any time. You will receive notice of these changes at least thirty (30) days before any changes take effect. If you do not wish to continue your subscription at the new service cost, you must terminate your account prior to these changes taking effect. Failure to do so will result in you being billed in full for the relevant subscription you signed up to, in agreement with these terms and such Fees will be non-refundable.

5. Data Protection

5.1. SEN Professional Software LTD agrees to process the personal data for which it is a controller in accordance with its Privacy Notice (https://senprofessional.com/privacy).

5.2. If and to the extent that SENPRO processes personal data on behalf of the Subscriber for which the Subscriber is the controller, SEN Professional Software LTD’s standard Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) will need to be entered into between the Parties and this DPA will govern the terms under which we collect and process the relevant Subscriber personal data. SENPRO will provide such DPA to the Subscriber as necessary. To the extent the Subscriber refuses or otherwise fails to enter into such DPA, SENPRO will be entitled to cease providing the Software Service to the Subscriber and terminate the subscription and Agreement without any further liability to the Subscriber or other party.

6. Intellectual Property and Third Party Licence

12.2           The customisation features shall be implemented by us, within the parameters as defined by us, and may be subject to change from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the core functionalities of the Software Service will not be affected by such customisation features.

13. General

13.1           Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the whole agreement and understanding of the Parties and supersedes any previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, it has not relied on, and shall have no right or remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement, provided always that nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

13.2           No Waiver: The Parties agree that a failure by either Party to enforce the performance of any provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the right to subsequently enforce that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Such failure shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach and shall not constitute a continuing waiver.

13.3           Severance: If any provision of this Agreement (or part of a provision) is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall remain in force. If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision would be valid, enforceable or legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.

13.4           Variation: Unless otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement may be varied only in writing by both of the Parties. A reference to “writing” or “written” in this Agreement includes email.

13.5           Notices: All notices or communication given under this Agreement shall be in writing (a reference to writing or written includes email). Notices shall be deemed to have been duly given:

o   when delivered, if delivered by courier or other messenger (including registered mail) during normal business hours of the recipient;

o   when sent, if transmitted e-mail and a successful transmission report or return receipt is generated;

o   on the fifth business day following mailing, if mailed by national ordinary mail, postage prepaid;

13.7           Force Majeure: Neither Party will be liable to the other for any delay in performing or failure to perform any of its obligations (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement as a result of any cause outside its reasonable control. Subject to the affected Party promptly notifying the other Party in writing of the cause and the likely duration of the delay or non-performance and provided that the affected Party shall use reasonable endeavours to limit the effect of such event on such other Party, such delay or failure, to the extent affected by the cause will not constitute a breach of the Agreement.

13.8           Rights & Remedies: except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all rights contained in this Agreement and all remedies available to either Party for breach of this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised separately or concurrently. The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed an election of such right or remedy to the exclusion of other rights and remedies.
