The Customer will forward any invoices to the principal within seven days of receipt.
6.1 Prices offered are subject to fluctuations in the availability, quality and cost of raw materials. Prices charged will be those ruling at the date of manufacture, and will reflect any such fluctuation.

The Customer shall permit all such alleged defective Printed Material and/or Goods to be inspected by Clone Media. Failing such notice, the Printed Material and/or Goods shall be deemed to be in accordance with the contract and the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Printed Material and/or Goods and to be liable to pay therefore.
14.4 The time for Delivery shall be the time agreed in writing between Clone Media and the Customer or (if none) a reasonable time after the date of the despatch of the Acceptance provided that the Customer shall not be entitled to reject by reason of late Delivery any Printed Material and/or Goods delivered after the time for Delivery unless he has given to Clone Media twenty one days’ written notice of his intention to do so and the Printed Material and/or Goods are not delivered within such time.

Clone Media will inform the Customer of any significant delays to the delivery of the Printing Services and/or Goods, within reasonably practicable period.
14.6 Clone Media may charge or give credit pro rata for work delivered in excess of or less than the quantity ordered up to a maximum of ten percent over or under and such work shall constitute due performance of the obligation by Clone Media.

23.2 This clause 23.2 is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations or rights under Data Protection Legislation. Depending on the roles of each party in relation to the processing of Agreement Personal Data (as set out in more detail in clause 23.3 below), the parties agree in each case to comply with the terms of these Conditions.
23.3 The parties acknowledge and agree that the allocation of the role of Controller, joint Controller or Processor is a question of fact rather than being determined by contractual agreement. The parties agree and acknowledge that Clone Media and the Customer will both be Controllers when processing Agreement Personal Data, except where Clone Media provides services to the Customer in relation to fulfilling direct mail projects for the Customer or in relation to Clone Media’s ‘SwagPack’ brand, where Customer will be a Controller and Clone Media will be a Processor, processing Agreement Personal Data on the instructions of the Customer.
23.4 Notwithstanding its obligations under clause 23.1, where Clone Media (as a Processor) processes Agreement Personal Data on behalf of the Customer (as a Controller), Clone Media in each case shall at all times in relation to Agreement Personal Data:

d) process Personal Data other than in accordance with clause 23.4b) only if required to do so by applicable law, in which case Clone Media shall inform the Customer of the relevant legal requirement before processing (unless making such disclosure to the Customer would breach applicable law);
e) ensure that access to the Agreement Personal Data is strictly limited to persons (including any employee or sub-processor) who need access to it as necessary to perform Clone Media’s obligations under these Conditions and that all such persons are subject to contractual or statutory obligations of confidentiality and given appropriate training in the care and handling of Personal Data;
f) keep complete and accurate records of processing activity carried out by Clone Media in accordance with these Conditions as required by the Data Protection Legislation;
g) ensure that Agreement Personal Data is kept secure and shall implement and at all times maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the Agreement Personal Data (ensuring in each case a level of security appropriate to the risk) to prevent, and take prompt and proper remedial action against, unauthorised or unlawful processing (including access, copying, modification, storage, reproduction, display, disclosure or distribution) accidental loss of or damage to the Agreement Personal Data;
h) provide to the Customer on reasonable written request a written description of the technical and organisational measures in place to protect the Agreement Personal Data as required under clause 23.4g) above;

a. from within the UK to a territory that is outside the UK and the EEA that is not otherwise subject to an Adequacy Decision; and
b. from within the EEA to a territory that is outside of the EEA that is not otherwise subject to an Adequacy Decision,
such a transfer being in each case an “International Transfer”. Clone Media shall provide the Customer with notification of the intended International Transfer and, unless the Customer notifies Clone Media in writing of the Customer’s objection to the intended International Transfer within 14 calendar days of receiving such notice (such objection to be based on reasonable data protection grounds), the Customer shall be deemed to have authorised the International Transfer. Subject to Clone Media’s compliance with clauses 23.4j) and 23.4k) below, the Customer hereby authorises those International Transfers in place at the Commencement Date, a summary of which shall be made available by Clone Media to the Customer on reasonable written request;
j) where the Customer gives its authorisation to an International Transfer under clause 23.4i), subject to clause 23.4k), Clone Media shall ensure that there are appropriate safeguards in place to protect the Agreement Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Legislation (which may include entering into European Commission or UK Government (as applicable) approved Standard Contractual Clauses or such other safeguards agreed by the European Commission and the UK Government). Each party agrees to use all reasonable endeavours to procure that it shall, and where applicable any necessary third party (including any sub-processor) shall, promptly execute and deliver such documents and perform such acts as may be required to ensure that any International Transfer (as defined below) is compliant with Data Protection Legislation, including but not limited to where European Commission or UK Government (as applicable) approved Standard Contractual Clauses are deemed invalid, replaced or updated by the European Commission and/or UK Government;
k) where an International Transfer takes place and the data recipient is based in an operating territory of the Customer providing local services in that territory and is therefore not subject to the Data Protection Legislation, Clone Media’s obligations in relation to that International Transfer is limited to including in its contract with that data recipient such provisions as are reasonably requested by the Customer to enable the Customer comply with its obligations under applicable data protection law in relation to the International Transfer;
l) promptly notify the Customer in writing of any notices received by Clone Media (or any sub-processor) relating to the processing of any Agreement Personal Data, including requests from individual Data Subjects in relation to the exercise of their rights (including subject access requests), complaints and/or correspondence from any regulatory body including any competent data protection supervisory authority and provide such reasonable information and assistance as the Customer may reasonably require in relation to any such notice;
m) provide reasonable assistance to the Customer in meeting the Customer’s obligations regarding the exercise of Data Subjects’ rights in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation (including assisting the Customer to meet any applicable statutory deadlines in relation to the exercise of such rights);
n) provide reasonable assistance to the Customer in meeting its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to data security, breach notification (including notifications to competent supervisory authorities and/or Data Subjects), data protection impact assessments and prior consultation with or notification to a competent data protection supervisory authority;
o) in the event of a breach of the security of Agreement Personal Data (including any Personal Data Breach), Clone Media shall (without prejudice to clause 23.4n) above);

b. promptly initiate a full investigation and take appropriate steps to remedy the breach or prevent the potential breach or remove the threat;
c. promptly implement measures to ensure there is no repetition of the incident in the future;
d. promptly implement measures and take steps to mitigate risks of harm or distress to individual Data Subjects;
e. promptly (and in any event within three (3) calendar days of becoming aware of the breach) provide the Customer with details in writing of the steps and measures taken to investigate the breach and mitigate associated risks to Data Subjects; and
f. comply with all reasonable requests made by the Customer in respect of the same;
p) on termination or expiry of the Contract or these Conditions, at the Customer’s option, return or securely delete all Agreement Personal Data and copies of it at any time, unless Clone Media is required by applicable law to continue to process that Agreement Personal Data, in which case Clone Media shall promptly notify the Customer, in writing, of what that applicable law is and all other requirements set out in this clause 23.4 shall continue to apply to such Agreement Personal Data for as long as such Agreement Personal Data is processed by Clone Media;
q) not permit any processing of the Agreement Personal Data by any agent, sub-contractor, company or other third party (“sub-processor”) without the prior authorisation of the Customer in each case. Clone Media shall provide the Customer with at least 14 calendar days’ written notice of any new or replacement sub-processor and, unless the Customer notifies Clone Media in writing of the Customer’s objection to the appointment of the sub-processor within 14 calendar days of receiving such notice (such objection to be based on reasonable data protection grounds), the Customer shall be deemed to have authorised the appointment of the sub-processor. When appointing a sub-processor in accordance with these Conditions, Clone Media shall ensure in each case that prior to the sub-processor processing any Agreement Personal Data the sub-processor shall enter a written contract with Clone Media which is on terms substantially similar to those set out in this clause 23.4.

Notwithstanding the engagement of any sub-processors, Clone Media shall remain liable to the Customer for the acts and omissions of such third parties as if they were acts and omissions of Clone Media;
r) at the reasonable request of the Customer, make available to the Customer all information necessary to demonstrate Clone Media’s compliance with its obligations under this clause 23.4; and
s) subject to the Customer providing at least 30 calendar day’s advance written notice (unless in the event of a Personal Data Breach or a request from a competent supervisory authority, in which case the parties shall agree to a reasonable notice period) permit the Customer and the Customer’s representatives to inspect and audit Clone Media’s premises and data processing activities and comply with all reasonable requests to enable the Customer to verify and/or procure that Clone Media (and any sub-processor) is complying with the provisions of this clause 23.4.Such access shall be limited to two calendar days and shall be within Clone Media’s standard hours of business.
24.1 Each party undertakes that is shall not at any time disclose to any person any confidential information concerning the business, affairs, customers, clients or suppliers of the other party, except as permitted by clause 24.2.
24.2 Each party may disclose the other party’s confidential information:

Clone Media shall be entitled to legal costs on an indemnity basis. This clause 25.1 shall survive termination of the Contract.
26.1 The Customer hereby covenants to indemnify and keep indemnified Clone Media from and against any claims, costs, damages and expenses whatsoever and any reduction in value of the assets or increase in the liabilities of any of them arising from or in consequence of or in connection with any failure by the Customer or any member of the customer’s group to duly and punctually perform all their obligations pursuant to the Contract or any other contract, agreement, lease, right or arrangement whatsoever (a “Relevant Transaction”).
26.2 Clone Media shall not be obliged to pay any sum to the Customer (or any member of the Customer’s Group) pursuant to the Contract or any Relevant Transaction if and for so long as, the Customer (or any member of the Customer’s Group) is in default of making payment to Clone Media under the Contract or under a Relevant Transaction.
26.3 Without prejudice to clause 26.2 above, Clone Media may set-off any amount owned by it to the Customer or any member of the Customer’s Group against any liability owed to it by the Customer or any member of the Customer’s Group (whether such liability be actual or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, ascertained or unascertained).
26.4 If an obligation to make payment is unliquidated or unascertained Clone Media may in good faith set-off the amount it estimates (in good faith) will be the amount of such obligation once it becomes liquidated or ascertained. “Customer’s Group” shall include all subsidiaries (as defined in the Companies Act 2006) of the Customer’s ultimate parent undertaking.
26.5 Nothing in this clause shall be effective to create a charge or security interest. This clause shall be without prejudice and in addition to any, right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
27.1 Neither party shall be in breach of the Contract if there is any total or partial failure of performance by it of its duties and obligations under the Contract occasioned by any act of God, fire, flood, power failure, reduction of power supplied, mechanical failure, lack or shortage of materials (not being due to the wilful default of the party) act of Government or State, war, civil commotion, insurrection, embargo, strike, lockout, industrial dispute or action taken by the party or any other person, firm or company in connection therewith, and any other reason beyond the control of either party.

The operation of the Contract shall be suspended during the period (and only during the period) in which the reason continues. Forthwith upon the reason ceasing to exist the party relying upon it shall give written advice to the other of this fact. If the reason continues for a period of more than 90 days, the party not claiming relief under this clause 27.1 shall have the right to terminate the Contract upon giving 30 days written notice of such termination to the other party.
28.1 If the Customer shall be in default under the Contract or any other contract with Clone Media, or any subsidiary thereof or if Clone Media has reason to believe that the Customer will be unable or unwilling discharge its obligations to Clone Media as they arise then Clone Media may: a) Cease work without any liability for any default thereby caused, and b) Give notice thereof to the Customer whereupon the Customer shall pay forthwith for all Printing Services and/or Goods under this or any other contract with the Customer (whether or not payment would otherwise be due) and a proper charge for all Goods used or Printing Services provided and work carried out prior to cessation of work as aforesaid.
29.1 Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, either party may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other party if:

b) the other party takes any step or action in connection with its entering administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with its creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), obtaining a moratorium, being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of its assets or ceasing to carry on business or, if the step or action is taken in another jurisdiction, in connection with any analogous procedure in the relevant jurisdiction;
