8.1 Togetherall retains all Intellectual Property Rights in the Services and grants the Customer a licence to use such Intellectual Property Rights to the extent required to receive the Services directly provided to the Customer under this Agreement and promote the Support Network and other Togetherall services to its Users. Each of the Users will receive a separate licence to access Togetherall Services when they register with Togetherall and accept Togetherall end users terms and conditions.

8.2 All Intellectual Property Rights in any documentation and Materials arising in connection with the performance of the Services by Togetherall shall be the property of Togetherall, and Togetherall hereby grants to the Customer a non-exclusive licence to use such Intellectual Property Rights to receive the Services and use the Materials for the purpose of this Agreement.

10. Data Protection

10.1 Each of Togetherall and the Customer shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. This Section 10 is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.

10.2 This Section 10 sets out the framework for the processing of Personal Data under the Agreement including but not limited to any Shared Personal Data between the parties as Controllers.

10.3 For the purposes of this Section 10:

Controller – means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data;

Personal Data – means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

Personal Data Breach – means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed;

Processing – means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;

Processor – means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the Controller;

10.4 Togetherall and the Customer acknowledge and agree that, in most scenarios under this Agreement, they will be both sole and separate Controllers in relation to any Personal Data that they process under the Agreement. This is because the Support Services are directly provided by Togetherall to the Users and Togetherall needs to comply with its own obligations when processing the User’s Personal Data. In particular:

(a) In relation to the Support Network Services:

(i) the Customer will typically not share with Togetherall any personal data of its Users (the Customer will only facilitate registration instructions and details about Togetherall landing page to its Users) although Togetherall may agree to a database from the Customer with User email addresses to allow Togetherall to send certain Users a link to the Togetherall landing page;

(ii) the Users will onboard the Support Network directly by registering with Togetherall through the Togetherall landing page;

(iii) The Customer and Togetherall shall agree general identifiers in advance (e.g. the customer corporate email domain) to allow Togetherall to verify that the end users trying to register through Togetherall landing page are Users of the Customer authorised to access the Services; and

(iv) The Users will need to accept Togetherall end user terms and conditions and acknowledge the Togetherall privacy notice to access the Support Network Services.

10.5 Togetherall will act as a sole Controller when it:

(a) processes the Personal Data of the Customer’s representatives and contractors for the purpose of providing the Management Services.

(b) keeps:

(i) Records of emails and calls from the Customer’s members of staff or subcontractors when providing the Management Services; or

(ii) records of the Support Services provided to the Users (including emails and calls of Users to Togetherall Customer support team as applicable).

(c) processes any Personal Data through Togetherall sites for the purpose of providing the Support Services.

(d) processes any Personal Data to comply with its own professional and regulatory obligations, including but not limited when Togetherall considers that any individual User needs to be referred to the emergency services or to any health care professional or institution to protect their welfare.

10.6 Togetherall will provide aggregated (anonymized) data to the Customer about the access and usage of the Support Network by the relevant Users in the context of the Management Services, but Togetherall will not share any Personal Data of any User with the Customer unless this is for the purpose of the Agreement, or as required by applicable law.

11.3 If an Insolvency Event (as defined below) occurs in respect of a party, the other party may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect on written notice to the Party to whom the Insolvency Event relates. An “Insolvency Event” means, in relation to the relevant party (a “Relevant Entity”):

(e) anything equivalent to any of the events or circumstances stated in this Section 11.3 inclusive occurs in any applicable jurisdiction.

11.4 Togetherall reserves the right to, acting reasonably and in good faith, disconnect or block access to the Services to any User that commits any illegal or fraudulent act or that breaches any Togetherall policy or procedure, without previous notice or liability to the Customer.

 

12. Consequences of Termination

12.1 If the Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason, the Customer shall pay Togetherall all Charges and expenses due to Togetherall under the Agreement.
