You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Software For Small Businesses Ltd (and our officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) that arise out of or relate to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your misuse of our Site; or (c) your submissions of User-Generated Content (including any claim that your content infringes the rights of a third party or violates applicable law). This indemnification obligation will survive termination of your use of the Site and these Terms.

16. Termination and Enforcement

Suspension or Termination: If you breach these Terms, or if we reasonably suspect that you have breached these Terms, we may, at our sole discretion, take any and all actions we deem appropriate. This may include:

Immediately and temporarily or permanently withdrawing your right to use our Site (for example, by blocking your IP address or denying you access in other ways).

Removing or disabling access to any User-Generated Content you have uploaded to the Site.

Issuing a warning to you.

Initiating legal proceedings against you (for example, seeking injunctive relief or recovery of any costs and losses on an indemnity basis resulting from your breach).

Disclosing such information to law enforcement authorities as we reasonably feel is necessary or as required by law.

We exclude liability for actions taken in response to breaches of these Terms. The responses described above are not limited, and we may take any other action we reasonably deem appropriate.

Account Termination: (As a reminder, generally browsing our Site does not require an account. If you have registered an account on any part of our Site or related service and we terminate or suspend that account due to your breach of these Terms or any service terms, you must not attempt to re-register without our permission.) If you wish to terminate any account you hold with us, you may do so by following the account cancellation procedure (if applicable) or by simply ceasing to use the Site.

Even after termination of your right to use our Site, provisions of these Terms intended to survive termination will continue in effect. This includes, for example, provisions regarding intellectual property rights, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and governing law.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms (together with any documents expressly referred to within them, such as our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to your use of this Site, and supersede any prior agreements, understandings, or arrangements relating to such use. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any representation, warranty, or statement not set out in these Terms when using the Site.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other competent authority to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision (or the offending part of it) shall be deemed modified or, if necessary, severed to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

19. No Waiver

No failure or delay by us in exercising any right or remedy provided under these Terms or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict our further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. In other words, if we do not immediately act on a breach of these Terms by you, we are not giving up our right to take action in the future or in any similar situations.

20. No Third-Party Rights

These Terms are between you and Software For Small Businesses Ltd. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of these Terms, and we do not require the consent of any third party to vary or rescind these Terms. The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 shall not apply to these Terms, meaning that no third party can claim any benefit or enforce any provision of these Terms except as expressly provided.

21. Assignment

We may transfer, assign, or sub-contract our rights and obligations under these Terms to another party or affiliate (for example, if our website or business is transferred to a new owner), without notice or obtaining your consent. This will not affect your rights under these Terms. You may not transfer, assign, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms to any other person without our prior written consent.

22. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you reside. Nothing in this Governing Law section affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory local law. For consumers resident in the United Kingdom: if you reside in England or Wales, you and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes (meaning you may also bring proceedings in your country of residence). If you reside in Scotland, you may bring legal proceedings in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you reside in Northern Ireland, you may bring proceedings in Northern Irish or English courts.

If you are a business user, you and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales in relation to any dispute or claim (although we retain the right to bring proceedings against you for breach of these Terms in your country of residence or any other relevant country).
