15.5 QED does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that all Outputs will be accurate, complete or suitable for a particular purpose.
16. Indemnities
16.1 QED will defend Customer against any third-party claim that the paid Services, when used by Customer in accordance with this Agreement, infringe that third party's intellectual property rights in the United Kingdom, and will indemnify Customer against damages, costs and expenses finally awarded by a court or agreed in settlement by QED, provided that Customer: (a) promptly notifies QED in writing of the claim; (b) gives QED sole control of the defence and settlement; and (c) provides reasonable cooperation at QED's expense.
16.2 QED has no obligation under clause 16.1 to the extent a claim arises from: (a) Customer Data; (b) Customer's instructions; (c) any Third-Party Platform; (d) any modification not made by QED; (e) use of the Services other than in accordance with the Documentation or this Agreement; or (f) use of the Services in combination with anything not supplied or approved by QED where the claim would not have arisen otherwise.
16.3 If QED reasonably believes a claim under clause 16.1 is likely, QED may, at its option, modify or replace the affected Services so they are non-infringing, or terminate the affected Services and refund any prepaid fees for the terminated remainder of the then-current Subscription Term.

17.1 Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) Customer's obligation to pay fees properly due under this Agreement; or (d) any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

17.3 Subject to clauses 17.1 and 17.2, each party's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement in any rolling 12-month period will not exceed 100% of the fees paid or payable by Customer under this Agreement in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. For any claim arising before fees have been paid, or in respect of no-charge Services, each party's aggregate liability will not exceed £10,000.

QED may also make changes during a current Subscription Term where reasonably necessary for legal, regulatory, security or service-integrity reasons, or to reflect new or additional features.
19.3 If QED makes a material change during a current paid Subscription Term that materially reduces Customer's rights or materially increases Customer's obligations, and the change is not required by law or to address a security risk, Customer may terminate the affected Services on written notice given within 30 days after the change takes effect and receive a refund of prepaid fees for the terminated remainder of the then-current Subscription Term.
20. General
20.1 Nothing in this Agreement creates any exclusivity obligation. Each party remains free to enter into similar arrangements with third parties.
20.2 A notice under this Agreement must be in writing and sent by email to the notice address set out in the relevant Order Form (or any updated notice address notified in writing) or, if no such address is specified, to the recipient's registered office or principal place of business.

20.6 This Agreement, together with each Order Form and Schedule 1, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties in relation to its subject matter and supersedes all prior discussions, proposals and agreements relating to that subject matter. Each party acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation other than those expressly set out in this Agreement, except that nothing limits liability for fraud.
20.7 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. A failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy does not waive that right or remedy.
20.8 A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement.
20.9 This Agreement and any non-contractual disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with it are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
