Hoffbrand Consulting Limited shall promptly notify the Client if it considers that the Client’s instructions breach Data Protection Laws;

  2. all Authorised Personnel are appropriately trained in the handling of personal data, are informed of the confidential nature of the Client Personal Data and are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations when accessing it.

11.1.2 Reasonable Steps

Hoffbrand Consulting Limited shall also take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of all Authorised Personnel and be responsible for their acts and omissions as if they were those of Hoffbrand Consulting Limited itself.

  1. If Hoffbrand Consulting Limited receives any complaint, notice or communication which relates directly or indirectly to the processing by Hoffbrand Consulting Limited of the Client Personal Data, it shall immediately notify the Client and it shall provide the Client with full co-operation and assistance in relation to any such complaint, notice or communication.

Hoffbrand Consulting Limited shall be the data controller in relation to any such retained Client Personal Data, shall process it solely as necessary to comply with its legal obligations and shall comply with all Applicable Data Protection Laws in relation to such data.

11.1.3 Client’s Responsibilities

  1. The Client agrees that it shall not disclose or transfer any personal data to Hoffbrand Consulting Limited that Hoffbrand Consulting Limited is not lawfully permitted to process. Each party agrees to notify the other party if it becomes aware of any accidental disclosure or transfer of such personal data by the Client to Hoffbrand Consulting Limited, and Hoffbrand Consulting Limited agrees that it shall, at the Client’s direction, delete or return such personal data to the Client and delete existing copies.
  2. The Client agrees that it shall give proper instructions to Hoffbrand Consulting Limited, in accordance with the Data Protection Laws, to enable Hoffbrand Consulting Limited to comply with its obligations set out in clause 11.1.

12  Data Migration

Data storage systems provided by different organisations use underlying systems that are different from that as provided by the NetDocuments service. This means that the time taken and the definition of the process to migrate the data cannot be defined and, for the avoidance of doubt, the effort taken to migrate the data is estimated.

The Client is responsible for the provision of the details (metadata) of the items to be imported. The definition of the metadata will be agreed by all parties prior to commencement of the migration. If the client is unable to provide the metadata, Hoffbrand Consulting Limited may be able to assist using the agreed daily fee rate. Third-party tools may be required and if so, the client will be charged the actual cost of the software or service.

Depending on the quantity of items to be imported, a physical, not virtual, Microsoft Windows based system will be required to perform the import processes. Access to the data either via a network drive or URL is required and the provision of this is the responsibility of the client.

The software used to import the data is provided by NetDocuments Software Inc. and as such, Hoffbrand Consulting Limited cannot take responsibility for the performance of the software either in terms of speed or accuracy of the imported data. All reasonable efforts will be used to ensure a successful migration.

12.1 Client Data Location

Hoffbrand Consulting Limited should be provided with unlimited, unattended and secure access to the data on the clients’ systems. This can be with the use of a client-controlled email account via a virtual private network (VPN) or other virtual desktop system. In any case, the provision of a Microsoft Windows desktop environment is required.

It is recognised that the system setup noted in the previous paragraph might not always be possible and as such, subject to the availability of enough storage disk capacity, it will be stored on Hoffbrand Consulting’s computers running properly updated Microsoft Windows operating system with an external hard disk drive.

Both the internal and external hard disk drives are encrypted using Microsoft BitLocker and when the need to access the data has passed, the external hard disk drive will be reformatted to remove such data. If data is required to be stored on the system disk, for example due to restrictions imposed by third party storage vendors, when the need to access the data has passed, it will be deleted from the disk and the Recycle Bin will be securely emptied.

13  Publication of material for Marketing Purposes

This Agreement provides for the publication of marketing material, the following specific conditions shall apply:

  1. the Client will retain the right to edit the final draft prior to publication subject, in the case of joint publications, to amendments proposed being agreed with the author(s).
  2. prior to publication, Hoffbrand Consulting Limited and/or others associated with the publication shall not disclose any material obtained or produced for the purposes of the project to any other party unless the Client has given prior approval in writing.
  3. Hoffbrand Consulting Limited will provide to the Client copies of all marketing material, data etc. collected specifically for the project and indicate the source of other marketing material used.
  4. The Client will, except where specifically agreed otherwise, hold copyright to the publication.

Other matters relating to the use of the material shall be covered as an Appendix to this Agreement. Where other uses are agreed, all marketing material and publications based on the project shall acknowledge the Client.

All Works created, developed, invented, carried out or produced during the engagement or arising out of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been made by or on behalf of the Client. The Works, together with the benefit of any such Works, belong exclusively to the Client.

Hoffbrand Consulting Limited warrants to the Client that it has obtained from each Relevant Person a written and valid assignment of all existing and future Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) in the Works and the Inventions and of all materials embodying such rights and a written irrevocable waiver of all the statutory moral rights of such Relevant Person in the Works, to the fullest extent permissible by law, and that such Relevant Person has agreed to hold on trust for Hoffbrand Consulting Limited any such rights in which the legal title has not passed (or will not pass) to Hoffbrand Consulting Limited. Hoffbrand Consulting Limited agrees to provide to the Client a copy of this assignment on or before the date of this Agreement, if so requested.

Hoffbrand Consulting Limited will provide the Client with full details of all and any Works and Inventions and shall keep the same confidential.

Hoffbrand Consulting Limited hereby assigns to the Client, with full title guarantee, absolutely and free from all encumbrances, all existing and future Intellectual Property Rights in the Works and the Inventions (as defined in this clause) and all materials embodying these rights, with the intention that all such rights shall vest in the Client upon their creation.

Hoffbrand Consulting Limited, at the Client’s request and cost both during the term of the Agreement and thereafter, if required, take all steps as may be necessary or desirable to vest the Intellectual Property Rights in, and register or obtain patents or registered designs in, the name of the Client and to defend the Client against claims that any Works embodying Intellectual Property Rights or Inventions infringe third party rights, and otherwise to protect and maintain the Intellectual Property Rights in the Works.

Hoffbrand Consulting Limited’s aggregate liability to the Client for any claims, losses, damages or expenses whatsoever and howsoever caused arising out of this Agreement, including liability for breach of contract, misrepresentation (whether tortious or statutory), tort (including but not limited to negligence), breach of statutory duty, shall not exceed the total value of any professional indemnity or public liability insurance cover acquired by, and at the cost of, Hoffbrand Consulting Limited.

Any rights of any person to enforce these terms pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 are excluded.

All other terms of this Agreement notwithstanding, Hoffbrand Consulting Limited shall not be liable for failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement if such failure is caused by the occurrence of any contingency beyond the reasonable control of Hoffbrand Consulting Limited (a “Force Majeure Event”), including fire, flood, strike, Internet outage, industrial disturbance, denial of service attack, war, riot, insurrection, acts of God, pandemic, acts of civil or military authority.
