In the event of any loss or damage to End User Materials, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be for Studious to use reasonable commercial endeavours to restore the lost or damaged End User Materials from the latest back-up of such End User Materials maintained by us in accordance with our archiving procedure in effect from time to time.

6.3. You hereby grant to Studious a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use the End User Materials in relation to any Studious services from time to time.

in relation to the End User Materials infringing a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights;

7.2 Please read our Privacy Notice carefully as it is binding on you in relation to the processing of your Personal Data pursuant to your use of the App. Please note that we may send users of the App service related information by email from time to time.

7.3. A party (“Receiving Party”) will keep in strict confidence all technical or commercial know-how, specifications, inventions, processes or initiatives which are of a confidential nature and have been disclosed (either orally, in writing or by demonstration) to the Receiving Party by the other party (“Disclosing Party”) or its employees, agents or sub-contractors and any other confidential information concerning the Disclosing Party’s business, its products and services which the Receiving Party may obtain (“Confidential Information”).
7.4. In relation to any Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party or from a third party on behalf of the Disclosing Party, the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party agree:
to treat the Confidential Information in confidence and to use it only for the purpose of discharging the Receiving Party’s obligations under this EULA;
not to disclose the Confidential Information to any third party without the express written permission of the Disclosing Party (except that the Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information to its officers, employees, consultants, agents and sub-contractors who need access to the Confidential Information in connection with discharging the Receiving Party’s obligations under this EULA and provided that such officers, employees, consultants, agents and sub-contractors are made aware of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as onerous as those set out in this EULA); and
to treat the Confidential Information with the same degree of care and with sufficient protection from unauthorised disclosure as the Receiving Party uses to maintain its own confidential or proprietary information.
7.5. Nothing in this EULA will prevent the Receiving Party from using or disclosing any Confidential Information which:
is in or comes into the public domain in any way without breach of this EULA by the Receiving Party or any person or entity to whom it makes disclosure;
the Receiving Party can show was: (i) in its possession or known to it by being in its use or being recorded in its files prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party and was not acquired by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party under an obligation of confidence; or (ii) to have been independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to the Confidential Information;
the Receiving Party obtains or has available from a source other than the Disclosing Party without breach by the Receiving Party or such source of any obligation of confidentiality or non-use;
is disclosed by the Receiving Party with the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party; or
is required by law to be released (e.g. by a court order), provided that, when permitted by the applicable law, the Disclosing Party is given as much prior written notice as possible of such request.
7.6. This clause 7 shall survive termination of this EULA, however arising.
8.1. You acknowledge that the App has not been developed to meet your individual requirements, and that it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the App as described in the applicable documentation meet your requirements. This clause 8 sets out the entire financial liability of Studious (including any liability for the acts or omissions of its employees, agents and sub-contractors) to you:
arising under or in connection with this EULA;
in respect of any use made by you of the App, the Services, the Documentation, the Content or any part of them; and
in respect of any representation, statement or tortious act or omission (including negligence) arising under or in connection with this EULA. Except as expressly and specifically provided in this EULA: you assume sole responsibility for results obtained from the use of the App, the Services, the
8.2. Documentation and the Content by you, and for conclusions drawn from such use. Studious shall have
no liability for any damage caused by errors or omissions in any information, instructions or scripts provided to Studious by you in connection with the Services, or any actions taken by Studious at your direction;
all warranties, representations, conditions and all other terms of any kind whatsoever implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, excluded from this EULA; and
the App, the Services, the Documentation and the Content are provided to you on an “as is” basis.
8.3. Nothing in this EULA limits or excludes the liability of either party for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for any damage or liability incurred by a party as a result of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by the other party.
8.4. You will indemnify and keep Studious and its officers, employees, consultants, agents and sub-contractors indemnified, on demand, against all losses, costs and liabilities and all expenses, including reasonable legal or other professional expenses, suffered or incurred by Studious arising out of or in connection with any breach of this EULA by the End User, or by any third party acting on the End User’s behalf.
8.5. Subject to clause 8.4 and excluding any provisions in this EULA where an indemnity is provided by either party: - neither party will be liable to the other party for loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goods, loss of contract, loss of use, loss or corruption of data or information or any special, unforeseeable loss (i.e. indirect and consequential loss) or pure economic loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, loss or damage is unforeseeable if either it is not obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you did not know that it might happen; and - each party’s total liability to each other party in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise arising under or in connection with this EULA will be limited to a sum of £1,000 per claim.
9.1. Your rights to use the App will immediately terminate upon the termination or expiry of a Head Agreement for any reason (where applicable) and provided that no other Head Agreement(s) apply.

9.3. We may terminate or suspend (at our sole discretion) this EULA immediately without any liability by providing notice to you if you breach any of the Licence Restrictions or the Acceptable Use Restrictions.
9.4. Without limiting any other rights or remedies, either party (“Terminating Party”) may terminate this EULA with immediate effect by providing written notice to the other party (“Defaulting Party”) on or at any time after the occurrence of a breach by the Defaulting Party of its obligations under this EULA which (if the breach is capable of remedy) the Defaulting Party has failed to remedy within 14 days after receipt of notice in writing from the Terminating Party requiring the Defaulting Party to do so; or
9.5. On termination for any reason: - all rights granted to you under this EULA shall cease; - you must immediately cease all activities authorised by this EULA; and - any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the EULA which existed at or before the date of termination shall not be affected or prejudiced.
9.6. If, for whatever reason, our relationship with a third party service or data provider is restricted, suspended or terminated which affects our ability to provide the App, the Services or the Content, we will notify you in writing and use reasonable endeavours to re-commence the App, the Services and the provision of the Content as soon as possible. However, we will have no liability to you for any interruptions or termination of the App or the Services hereunder.
9.7. The suspension or cancellation of your account and your right to use the App shall not affect either party’s rights or liabilities.
9.8. Any provision of this EULA that expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination or expiry of this EULA shall remain in full force and effect.
10.1. If you wish to contact us in writing, or if any condition in this EULA requires you to give us notice in writing, you can send this to us by e-mail to info@studious.org.uk. We will confirm receipt of this by return e-mail.

If the force majeure event continues for a period of four weeks or more, the unaffected party may terminate this EULA with immediate effect by providing the other party with written notice.
12.1. You hereby acknowledge that the Services may enable or assist you to access the website content of, correspond with, and purchase products and services from, third parties via third-party websites and that if you do so, this is solely at your own risk.
12.2. Studious makes no representation, warranty or commitment and shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content or use of, or correspondence with, any such third-party website, or any transactions completed, and any contract entered into by you with any such third party. Any contract entered into and any transaction completed via any third-party website is between you and the relevant third party, and not Studious.
12.3. Studious recommends that you refer to the third party’s website terms and conditions and privacy policy prior to using the relevant third-party website. Studious does not endorse or approve any third-party website nor the content of any of the third party website made available through the App.

Subject to the terms of any applicable Head Agreement, this EULA constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. Each party acknowledges that in entering into this EULA it does not rely on, and shall have no remedies in respect of, any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that are not set out in this EULA. Each party agrees that it shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this EULA.
13.2. We reserve the right to make changes to this EULA at any time upon providing you with notice. If you continue to use the App then you will be deemed to have accepted the updated EULA.
13.3. Subject to clause 13.2, no variation of this EULA will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the authorised representatives of the parties.
13.4. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this EULA 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. The rights and remedies provided under this EULA are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.
13.5. You shall not, without the prior written consent of Studious, assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under this EULA. Studious may at any time assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under this EULA.
13.6. Nothing in this EULA is intended to or shall operate to create a partnership between the parties, or to authorise either party to act as agent for the other, and neither party shall have authority to act in the name or on behalf of or otherwise to bind the other in any way (including without limitation the making of any representation or warranty, the assumption of any obligation or liability and the exercise of any right or power).
13.7. No one other than a party to this EULA, their successors and permitted assignees, shall have any right to enforce any of its terms.

If any provision or part-provision of this EULA is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this EULA.
13.9. All notices must be in writing and are deemed given when mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the other party’s registered address (for the End User, this will be the Institution’s registered address) (or such other address notified to the other party in writing from time to time). It is agreed that serving notice by email or fax will not be an effective method of providing notice of a claim under this EULA.
14.1. This EULA and any disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including without limitation non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by English law and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
