   4.8. Where Pressburst is acting as processor in connection with the provision of the Services to the Customer, it shall:

   4.9. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Pressburst is permitted to make use of certain sub-processors in its performance of the Services but that Pressburst shall notify the Customer of any changes to the identities of its sub-processors and provide the Customer with the opportunity to object to such changes. Pressburst's current sub-processors can be found in the Privacy Policy and will also include any Channel Partner.

   4.10. The Personal Data is any personal data inputted or uploaded by the Customer (such as Customer Data), Authorised Users or Pressburst on the Customer's behalf for the purpose of using or facilitating the Customer's use of the Services or collected by Pressburst through the monitoring of each Authorised Users' use of the Services or as otherwise provided by the Customer in the course of this Agreement. Personal Data may include name, address, contact details and media (such as photographs, audio or video). The categories of data subjects are employees of and contractors engaged by the Customer, and where applicable the staff and pupils at the school run by the Customer (and/or, where the Customer is acting as a Channel Partner, the organisation run by the Content-Providing Customer).

   4.11. Without prejudice to Pressburst's obligations under Data Protections Laws (as further described in the Privacy Policy), in the event of any loss or damage to Customer Data the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be for Pressburst to use reasonable commercial endeavours to restore the lost or damaged Customer Data from the latest back-up of such Customer Data maintained by Pressburst and Pressburst shall not be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of Customer Data caused by any third party, including any ISP. The Customer shall maintain full and regular back-ups of all Customer Data.

   (b) as such, the terms of clauses 4.5 and 4.6 shall apply as between Pressburst and the Channel in respect of the Content-Providing Customer Data;

   (c) the terms of clauses 4.7 and 4.8 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Channel Partner in relation to the Content-Providing Customer Data, as though the Channel Partner were “Pressburst”, and Pressburst were “the Customer”; and

   (d) the Channel Partner shall notify Pressburst of any sub-sub-processors it appoints in relation to the Content-Providing Customer Data.

    15.1. Interpretation. Clause, schedule and paragraph headings shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. A person includes an individual, corporate or unincorporated body (whether or not having separate legal personality) and that person's legal and personal representatives, successors or permitted assigns. References to clauses and schedules are to the clauses and schedules of this Agreement. The words "include" and "including" are deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation".

    15.2. Force majeure. Pressburst shall have no liability to the Customer under this Agreement if it is prevented from or delayed in performing its obligations under this Agreement, by acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond its reasonable control, including strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving the workforce of Pressburst or any other Party), failure of a utility service or transport or telecommunications network, war, riot, civil commotion, pandemic or other public health emergency, malicious damage, hacking, denial-of-service attacks, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm or default of suppliers or subcontractors, provided that the Customer is notified of such an event and its expected duration.

    15.3. Variation and waiver. Pressburst may make changes from time to time to Pressburst, the Services, the Documentation, the Privacy Policy and/or these Terms and Conditions and these shall be listed in the Change Log accessible in Pressburst. Any such change shall take effect from the date on which Pressburst gives notice to the Customer of the change by adding it to the Change Log ("Change Notification"). Where the Customer believes that such change is materially detrimental to the Customer's use of the Services, it shall notify Pressburst within 30 days of the Change Notification. If the Customer can demonstrate to Pressburst' reasonable satisfaction that a change notified in a Change Notification is materially detrimental to the Customer's use of the Services, the Customer shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement from the last day of the month following service of the Customer's notice objecting to the change and receive a refund of Subscription Fees paid in advance for the period following the date of termination. Continued use of the Services beyond such date and/or failure to raise any objection to the change within 30 days of the Change Notification, shall in either case constitute deemed acceptance by the Customer of such change. Otherwise, no variation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Parties (or their authorised representatives). No failure or delay by a Party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

    15.4. Rights and remedies; severance. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided under this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. If any provision (or part of a provision) of this Agreement 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 whatever modification is necessary to give effect to the commercial intention of the Parties.

    15.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and any documents referred to in it, constitute the whole Agreement between the Parties and supersede any previous arrangement, understanding or Agreement between them relating to the subject matter they cover. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement it does not rely on any undertaking, promise, assurance, statement, representation, warranty or understanding (whether in writing or not) of any person (whether party to this Agreement or not) relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, other than as expressly set out in this Agreement.

    15.6. Assignment. The Customer shall not, without the prior written consent of Pressburst, assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
