  3. Suspension of services
    1. Visibly may suspend Services without liability if:

  1. Visibly's obligations
    1. Visibly shall perform the Services, in all material respects, in accordance with the Documentation and with reasonable skill and care.
    2. Visibly's obligations at clause 9.1 shall not apply to the extent of any non-conformance which is caused by use of the Services contrary to Visibly's instructions, or modification or alteration of the Services by any party other than Visibly or Visibly's duly authorised contractors or agents. If the Services do not conform with the terms of clause 9.1, Visibly will, at its expense, use reasonable commercial endeavours to correct any such non-conformance promptly. Such correction constitutes the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the undertaking set out in clause 9.1.

    4.

      3. the Services will be free from Vulnerabilities or Viruses; or
      4. the Software, Documentation or Services will comply with any Heightened Cybersecurity Requirements.

    7. Visibly warrants that it has and will maintain all necessary licences, consents, and permissions necessary for the performance of its obligations under the Contract.
    8. In the event of any loss or damage to Customer Data, the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy against Visibly shall be for Visibly to use reasonable commercial endeavours to restore the lost or damaged Customer Data from the latest back-up of such Customer Data maintained by Visibly in accordance with the archiving procedure described in its Back-Up Policy. Visibly shall not be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of Customer Data caused by any third party (except those third parties sub-contracted by Visibly to perform services related to Customer Data maintenance and back-up for which it shall remain fully liable).
    9. The Customer acknowledges that Visibly may change or modify the Services from time to time. Visibly shall only be required to provide the Customer with reasonable notice of a change or modification to the Services in advance if the change or modification is material (and does not extend or enhance the functionality or architecture of the Services) or may substantially adversely affect the Customer’s use of the Services.  In such circumstances, “reasonable notice” shall be considered not less than 30 days.  Following receipt of such notice (the “Change Notice”), the Customer shall have 14 days within which it can elect (by written notice) not to accept such change or modification.  If the Customer gives notice within the prescribed window that it does not accept the change or modification, then the Contract shall terminate at the end of the 30-day notice period given in the Change Notice.
  2. Customer's obligations
