Educa undertakes to use commercially reasonable efforts to inform the Customer of such suspensions in advance, where possible. The (temporary) suspension or restriction of the Service or any part thereof shall not give rise to any right on the part of the Customer to compensation or a refund of the Fee(s) from Educa.
6.5 Educa will respond to duly justified support requests within a reasonable timeframe, depending on their severity and impact. Educa cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of responses in relation to the support provided.

9. DATA PROTECTION
9.1 For the purpose of maintaining the Service and providing support or additional services, Educa may have access to personal data – within the meaning of the GDPR – relating to the Customer, its employees and/or the Customer’s clients.

- 9.2.7 In the event of a data breach by Educa or any sub-processor, Educa shall notify the Client of the data breach without delay upon becoming aware of it, including all relevant details relating to the breach. The Client shall at all times be responsible for notifying the relevant data protection authority and/or the data subject(s) of any data breach.
- 9.2.8 The Client shall be entitled, no more than once per calendar year and subject to prior notification to Educa, to have an audit carried out – at its own expense – by an independent IT auditor who shall be bound by a duty of confidentiality, in order to verify Educa’s compliance with this clause, specifically with regard to the security measures. The Customer shall ensure that such an audit is carried out in a manner that causes the least possible disruption to Educa’s normal business operations.
10. TERM AND TERMINATION
10.1 A paid Subscription Type (other than the Freemium Subscription) is entered into for an initial term of twelve (12) months, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

10.2 The initial term of a Freemium Subscription is thirty (30) days. Once the initial term has expired, the Freemium Subscription will automatically convert to a paid Subscription Type (as detailed on the Educa website), unless the Customer notifies Educa in good time of their wish to cancel the Subscription Type or to change the Subscription Type. Before the Freemium Subscription expires, the Customer will receive a notification regarding the switch to a paid Subscription Type. If the Customer chooses not to switch to a paid Subscription Type, the Service will be terminated upon expiry of the Freemium Subscription and all the Customer’s Data will be irrevocably deleted and erased.
10.3 Each Subscription Type (except the Freemium Subscription) may be terminated at the convenience of either the Customer or Educa in writing, subject to the payment of a notice period of at least one (1) month prior to the end of the initial term or the twelve (12)-month renewal term applicable at that time.
10.4 The Customer may, at any time during the Subscription, request an «upgrade» to their Subscription Type by notifying Educa. An upgrade to the Subscription Type may result in access to more educational and learning materials and resources, additional features or further services, as detailed on the Educa website. In the event of a Subscription Tier upgrade, the term of the relevant Subscription Tier will not change; only the Fee payable by the Customer under, and applicable to, the upgraded Subscription Tier as at the date of the upgrade will change.

11.1 Educa’s total liability for any attributable failure in the provision of the Service or for any other reason, including, without limitation, any obligation to pay compensation, shall be limited solely to compensation for direct losses and shall not exceed the total Fees (excluding VAT) received by Educa from the Client in the six (6) months prior to the occurrence of the loss. Furthermore, Educa’s liability shall in all cases be limited to the amount actually paid out by the third-party liability insurance policy as a result of the claim in question.

11.3 The exclusions and limitations referred to in clauses 11.1 to 11.2 shall not apply if, and to the extent that, the damage or loss results from a deliberate act or gross negligence on the part of Educa’s management.
11.4 Educa shall not be obliged to fulfil any obligation arising from these Terms and Conditions if Educa is prevented from doing so by force majeure. Educa shall at no time be liable for any damages or costs incurred by the Customer or by third parties as a result of force majeure.
11.5 Unless performance by Educa is permanently impossible, Educa shall only be deemed to be in breach of a breach attributable to it after it has been notified in writing of the breach, thereby granting Educa a reasonable period of at least thirty (30) days to remedy the breach. The notice of breach must contain a full and detailed description of the breach, in order to ensure that Educa has the opportunity to respond appropriately.
11.6 The condition for bringing any claim for damages is that the Customer must notify Educa of the damage in writing as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 10 (ten) days after the damage occurred. Claims for damages against Educa shall in all cases be time-barred upon the expiry of six (6) months from the date on which the damage occurred, unless the Customer has filed a statement of claim for such damages with the competent court before the last day of that six (6)-month period.
11.7 The Customer shall indemnify Educa against all claims, suits, damages, losses and costs (including legal costs (solicitors’ fees)) brought by third parties arising out of or in any way relating to:
- 11.7.1 a breach of these Terms by an end user within the Client’s organisation;
- 11.7.2 misuse of the Service by an end user within the Client’s organisation;
