For the purposes of this clause 3.2 "data controller", "data subject", "personal data" and "processing" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Data Protection Act 1998.

(b) contains provisions relating to confidentiality and to the ownership and protection of the Data and Intellectual Property Rights subsisting in and/or relating to the Data, which are no less onerous than and which do not grant more extensive rights than those contained in this Licence Agreement, including (without limitation) clauses 2 (Licence), 3 (Limitations on Use of the Data by End-Users), 6 (Liability) and 7 (Property Rights in the Data); and

(c) enables Royal Mail to directly enforce all terms relating to the Data by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the End-User shall at all times ensure that the Maximum Data Return is not exceeded in any single Transaction.

5.4 Where the End-User has elected to pay any fees for any of the Data calculated on per User basis the applicable fee shall be payable in respect of each User which has the ability to access any of the Data from time to time. The End-User shall not allow any Users in excess of the number that it has notified to the Solutions Provider to access or have the ability to access any of Data.

5.6 Where the End-User purchases a block or blocks of Transactions by the Solutions provider, each such block of Transactions shall remain valid for a period of twelve months from the date of supply or the making available of that block. At the end of each such twelve month period any unused Transactions in such block shall be deemed to be expired and, as directed by the Solutions Provider, shall either not be used or shall be charged for as if they were a further block.

6. LIABILITY

6.1 Royal Mail does not in any way warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Data and shall not be liable for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect or consequential) howsoever arising out of or in connection with this Licence Agreement or its termination, except to the extent that such liability may not be lawfully excluded.

6.2 Royal Mail is not liable in any way in respect of any Data or Solutions provided by the Solutions Provider to the End-User.
