4.2.2 the VAR maintains a sufficiently fast and reliable internet connection and uses a browser environment which complies with Thomas guidelines published from time to time on the Thomas Website and which may require the downloading of additional browser plug-ins to enable access and whereby Thomas is not responsible for such third party plug-ins and the VAR is responsible for complying with any licence agreements and other terms and conditions which may apply to them.

4.3 During the Term and following the termination or expiry of these Service Module Terms, the VAR shall grant to Thomas and/or its employees, auditors, representatives or agents (the "Inspection Parties") at all reasonable times during normal business hours and on reasonable notice in the circumstances (which may be a very short period where the request is urgent), effective access to all information relating to:

4.3.1 the use of the Thomas Platform (including any VAR Licence that has been granted); and

4.4.5 the VAR shall pay to Thomas an amount equal to any identified underpayment of the Fees pursuant to clause 4.4.3 within two (2) weeks of the request for payment.

5. VAR LICENCE PERIOD AND RENEWALS

5.1 The term of a VAR Licence shall:

5.1.1 continue for an Initial VAR Licence Period; and

5.1.2 subject to clause 5.2, automatically renew for further twelve (12) month periods ("Renewed VAR Licence Period"), at the end of the Initial VAR Licence Period or a Renewed VAR Licence Period, as the case may be.

5.2 The VAR must notify Thomas of its intention not to renew a VAR Licence no later than sixty (60) days before the end of the Initial VAR Licence Period or the Renewed VAR Licence Period, as the case may be and in which case:

5.2.1 the VAR Licence; and

will automatically expire as at the end of the relevant VAR Licence Period or Renewed VAR Licence Period (as applicable).

5.3 Unless otherwise agreed by Thomas, if the VAR notifies Thomas of its intention not to renew its VAR Licence in accordance with clause 5.2 but subsequently places an Order with Thomas for another VAR Licence ("New VAR Licence"):

5.3.1 if such Order is placed within three (3) months of the end of the VAR’s last VAR Licence Period, the VAR Licence Period of such New VAR Licence shall be effective from the end of the previous VAR Licence Period and be classed as a Renewed VAR Licence Period; or

5.3.2 if such Order is placed more than three (3) months but less than twelve (12) months from the end of the VAR’s last VAR Licence Period, the VAR Licence Period of such New VAR Licence shall be effective as if the VAR were an entirely new customer but will still grant the VAR access to historic Documentation, Content and/or Deliverables (including Assessment Responses) relating to the previous VAR Licence until the expiry of twelve (12) months from the end of the VAR’s last VAR Licence Period; or

5.3.3 if such Order is placed more than twelve (12) months from the end of the VAR’s last VAR Licence Period, the VAR Licence Period of the New VAR Licence shall be effective from the date set out in the Order, provided always that the VAR agrees and acknowledges that the New VAR Licence will be set up as if the VAR were an entirely new customer and therefore will not grant the VAR access to any reconstituted or historic Documentation, Content and/or Deliverables (including any Assessment Responses or related data).

5.4 The VAR Services provided as part of a VAR Licence will expire at the end of the relevant VAR Licence Period. Any unused portion of the VAR Services cannot be rolled over into any subsequent VAR Licence Period or be refunded or exchanged.

5.5 The VAR Services cannot be exchanged for replacement VAR Services or any other Solutions, Documentation or Deliverables at any time, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Thomas.

6. VAR LICENCE SUSPENSION, TERMINATION AND EXPIRY

6.1 If the Account Holder or VAR is either:

6.1.1 in breach of any of these Service Module Terms; or

6.1.2 holding itself out to be, or in any other way acting as a Value Added Reseller without having first signed up to the VAR Portal (if available) and otherwise being fully compliant with these Service Module Terms,

any such circumstances shall permit Thomas at any time to suspend the Account Holder or VAR's access to and use of the Thomas Platform, the VAR Services and/or any Solution, Deliverable or any part of them, provided that Thomas shall use its reasonable endeavours to notify the Account Holder or VAR (as applicable) of the suspension and, where practicable, of the reason for the suspension.

6.2 Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies Thomas may have under or in accordance with the Master Agreement and/or these Service Module Terms, Thomas may terminate the Master Agreement (in whole or in part), these Service Module Terms and/or any or all Orders at any time during the Term with immediate effect by written notice to the Account Holder or VAR (as applicable) in the event that any circumstances arise which permit Thomas to suspend access to and use of the VAR Services and/or any of the Solutions and/or Deliverables pursuant to clause 6.1.

6.3 If the VAR has its access to the Thomas Platform disabled or suspended by Thomas pursuant to these Service Module Terms and/or the Master Agreement, any VAR Licence which the VAR has purchased under these Service Module Terms will automatically be disabled or suspended for the same amount of time of disablement or suspension relating to the Thomas Platform. Once a period of disablement or suspension is over and access to the Thomas Platform is resumed by the VAR, the VAR Licence will continue to be effective for the remainder of the relevant VAR Licence Period.

6.4 If:

6.4.1 these Service Module Terms are terminated for any reason, any VAR Licence which the VAR has purchased in respect of these Service Module Terms will automatically expire at the date of such Service Module termination; and

6.4.2 the VAR Licence is terminated for any reason other than as set out in clause 5.2 (including pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement), the VAR Licence and any VAR Services shall automatically expire as at the date of such termination.

7. VAR PROGRAMME

7.1 Prior to the commencement of a VAR Licence Period, Thomas will calculate (in its sole discretion and acting reasonably) the anticipated VAR Service usage amount by the VAR during that upcoming twelve (12) month period, on the following basis:

7.1.1 for the Initial VAR Licence Period, an estimate of the expected VAR Service usage amount; and

7.1.2 for any Renewed VAR Licence Period, an estimate of the expected VAR Service usage amount which shall be based upon the actual VAR Service usage amount for the previous VAR Licence Period,

provided that the VAR shall be entitled to make representations to Thomas to adjust the allocated VAR Service usage amount for a particular VAR Licence Period and which shall be considered by Thomas in order to make the final decision as to the allocated VAR Service usage amount for the relevant VAR Licence Period.

7.2 For each VAR Licence Period and based on the VAR Service usage amount as calculated in accordance with the VAR Service Usage Guide, Thomas shall categorise the VAR within the VAR programme levels which shall entitle the VAR to:

7.2.1 the applicable discounted Fee percentage for the relevant VAR programme level; and

7.2.2 the other stated benefits for the relevant VAR programme level,

each as further set out in the VAR Service Usage Guide.

8. FEES

8.2 In respect of these Service Module Terms, clause 7.3 (Fees and Payment) of the Master Agreement shall not apply. Instead, Fees payable under and in accordance with these Service Module Terms shall be payable at least fourteen (14) days in advance of each VAR Licence Period.

8.3 In addition to, and without prejudice to, the terms set out in clause 7 (Fees and Payment) of the Master Agreement, if the VAR Licence Fee or any other amount payable in connection with these Service Module Terms are not paid in full when due, Thomas reserves the right to suspend the:

10. LIABILITY

10.1 Subject to clauses 15.1 and 15.2 (Limitation of Liability) of the Master Agreement, in the event of any loss or damage to the VAR’s Content which is inputted into the Thomas Platform, the VAR’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be for Thomas to use reasonable endeavours to restore the lost or damaged Content from the latest back-up of such Content maintained by Thomas, provided that Thomas shall not be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of Content caused:

10.1.1 by any third party (except those third parties sub-contracted by Thomas to perform services related to Content maintenance and back-up); or
