By continuing to use the Services the Customer acknowledges that such material is protected by applicable United Kingdom and International intellectual property and other laws.
- Adstream hereby grants to the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, licence to access and use the Services and One Social Platform in accordance with these Conditions and the End User Agreement (the “Licence”).

- The Customer and Users are expressly prohibited from using or exploiting any information provided by Adstream (including, but not limited to, training materials, technical documentation, high level and low level designs, service specifications and user guides) for any purpose other than for the effective use and management and/or security of the Services.
- Notwithstanding clauses 9.1 to 9.4, content comprising the Services may be re-used without written permission where any of the exceptions detailed in Chapter III of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 apply.
- The Customer, the relevant third party licensor or, where applicable, Users, own all intellectual property rights in and to the Customer Data.

- Term And Termination
- These Conditions will come into effect on the date that the Customer starts using the Services and shall remain in effect until terminated in accordance with these Conditions.
- Notwithstanding anything else contained in these Conditions, Adstream may terminate (or at its option suspend) the Agreement or part thereof:
- immediately on giving notice in writing to the Customer if the Customer fails to pay any sum due under the Agreement (otherwise than as a consequence of any default on Adstream’s part) and such sum remains unpaid for five (5) days after written notice from Adstream requiring such sum to be paid;
- immediately on giving notice in writing to the Customer if the Customer is in material breach of any term of the Agreement (other than any failure by the Customer to make any payment hereunder, in which event the provisions of clause 10.3.1 shall apply) and, in the case of a breach capable of being remedied, shall have failed to have remedied, within 30 days of receiving notice requiring the Customer to do so.
- If the Customer chooses to cancel its Corporate Subscription pursuant to the terms of clause 10.3 the Customer is not entitled to a refund in respect of the remainder of any period in respect of which the Corporate Subscription or other fee was paid in advance (if applicable). If Adstream cancel without cause (which Adstream may do on ninety (90) days’ written notice), then Adstream will refund to the Customer (to the extent the Customer has already paid it to Adstream), on a pro-rata basis, the amount of unused Corporate Subscription remaining right before the cancellation.
- Notwithstanding the above, Adstream may suspend access to any part of the One Social Platform and/or the Services immediately without notice if: (a) the Customer is in breach of this Agreement; (b) the Customer’s use of the Services has or is likely to have an adverse impact on Adstream, its clients, or any other third party. Suspension in accordance with the foregoing shall not relieve the Customer of any of its liabilities or obligations under this Agreement.
- Either Party may terminate these Conditions with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other if the other commits a material breach of any obligation under these Conditions and if:
- the breaching Party has not remedied the material breach within thirty (30) Working Days (or such other longer period as may be specified by the Customer) of written notice to the breaching Party specifying the material breach and requiring its remedy;
- the material breach is not, in the opinion of the non-breaching Party capable of remedy; or
- a Party is the subject of a bankruptcy order, or becomes insolvent, or makes any arrangement or composition with or assignment for the benefit of its creditors or goes into voluntary or compulsory liquidation (other than for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction) or a receiver or administrator is appointed over the Party’s assets.
- For the purposes of Clause 10.4, material breach means a breach (including an anticipatory breach) that is serious in the widest sense of having a serious effect on the benefit which the terminating party would otherwise derive from:
- a substantial portion of the Agreement; or
- any of the obligations set out in clause 4, clause 5, clause 6.1 or clause 6.7
- over the term of the Agreement. In deciding whether any breach is material no regard shall be had to whether it occurs by some accident, mishap, mistake or misunderstanding.
- If, thirty (30) Working Days after service of a formal warning notice as described in clause 1.4, the Party has failed to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the non-breaching Party that the breach specified has not continued or recurred and that the breaching Party has put in place measures to ensure that such breach does not recur, then the non-breaching Party may deem such failure to be a material breach not capable of remedy for the purposes of clause 10.5.2.
- Consequences Of Termination And Expiry

- the Licence shall automatically terminate; and
