14.5	The Supplier (and its Affiliates):

14.5.1

shall not have any liability (in contract, tort (including negligence), in relation to Data and Content Services (including in respect of any IPRs in the Data and Content Services from time to time;

To the extent a Data and Content Provider materially breaches its agreement with the Supplier in respect of that Data and Content Provider’s Data and Content Services and the Client suffers a loss as a result of such breach (and notifies the Supplier in writing within thirty (30) days of such occurrence), then the Supplier shall pass on to the Client any amount recovered (if any) by the Supplier in relation to such breach, provided that any such amount shall first be equitably pro-rated by the Supplier (using its reasonable discretion) amongst the Client, the Supplier (and its Affiliates) and the Supplier’s (and its Affiliates’) other customers impacted by such breach.

14.7

Any breach of the Client’s obligations under this Agreement that is caused in whole or in part by the act or omission of a Client Contractor or an Affiliate of the Client will be deemed to be the act or omission of the Client and the Supplier and its Affiliates shall not be in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement where such breach is caused in whole or in part by an act or omission of a Client Contractor, an API User or an Affiliate of the Client.

14.8

Without limiting either Party’s liability under this Agreement, during the Term each Party shall maintain, at its expense, appropriate insurance in respect of this Agreement. During the Term the Supplier agrees that it shall not materially decrease the limits on any insurance policy that is relevant to the provision of the Services under this Agreement which the Supplier has in place as of the Effective Date.

15.	OPERATIONAL ISSUES

15.1

Both Parties accept that Operational Issues do occur from time to time, however the Supplier shall use commercially reasonable measures to minimise Operational Issues. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to ensure a prompt detection of Operational Issues and the Client shall promptly undertake all reasonable action in order to cooperate with and support the measures that the Supplier shall implement to limit and/or manage the associated risks.

15.2

Operational Issues shall be resolved via standard practice system functionality such as voiding, resettlement. Unless required otherwise by Applicable Law in which the Parties shall comply with such requirement of Applicable Law or relevant Gaming Authority, if an Operational Issue cannot be resolved in by voiding, resettlement or other standard practice system functionality, the Parties shall jointly decide whether to either:

15.2.1

make the Payout to which that Operational Issue relates notwithstanding the occurrence of that Operational Issue; or

15.2.2

pay an amount to the relevant Customer(s) in connection with that Operational Issue (being a “Premium”), in which case the Supplier’s liability in respect of such Premium be limited to the amount calculated using the following formula:

A MULTIPLIED by B, where:

A = an amount expressed as a decimal which is the percentage of NGR payable to the Supplier in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 in respect of the month in which the Premium is paid to the Customer; and

B = the amount of the Premium.

15.3

If an Operational Issue results in a Mandated Operational Issue Payment, then, within such time period as prescribed by the Gaming Authority or if no time period is prescribed by the Gaming Authority, within a reasonable time period, of the Operational Issue occurring, the Client, in writing (including email):

	15.3.1	notifies the relevant Gaming Authority of the Operational Issue that resulted in a Mandated Operational Issue Payment and (where legally possible) requests that such Gaming Authority permit the relevant wager to be voided, and

	15.3.2	demonstrates, that despite such request, the relevant Gaming Authority has required the Mandated Operational Issue Payment to be paid to the relevant Customer,

then the Supplier shall pay to the Client a share of the Mandated Operational Issue Payment in connection with that Operational Issue, which share shall, subject to Clauses ‎‎14, 15.1, 15.8, ‎ 15.9 and ‎ 15.10, be limited to the amount calculated using the following formula:

A MULTIPLIED by B, where:

A = an amount expressed as a decimal which is the percentage of NGR payable to the Supplier as the Business Fee in the calendar month in which the Mandated Operational Issue Payment is paid to the Customer; and

B = an amount that is equal to the relevant Mandated Operational Issue Payment.

15.4	If the Client does not satisfy all of the criteria in Clause ‎ 15.3 then any resulting Mandated Operational Issue Payment shall be a Payout, and Clause ‎ 15.3 shall not otherwise apply. Where a Mandated Operational Issue Payment is a Payout, then that sum shall be taken into account in the calculation of the NGR in the calendar month immediately following the calendar month when the relevant Operational Issue occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, if the relevant Gaming Authority permits the relevant wager to be voided pursuant to the Client’s request as described in Clause ‎ 15.3 then, since no payment to the relevant Customer is required in respect of the relevant wager, neither the mechanism in Clause ‎ 15.3 for sharing liability for the Mandated Operational Issue Payment nor the treatment of the Mandated Operational Issue Payment as a Payout as per this Clause ‎ 15.4 shall apply.

15.5	Reconciliation of any payments with respect to Premiums shall be conducted on a retrospective, monthly basis, provided that there shall be no such reconciliation in any month until the total amount paid out in connection with Operational Issues is at least USD 2,000, and in such event the next invoice issued by the Supplier for the Fees shall be adjusted to reflect the sum that the Supplier is liable for under Clause ‎15.3, otherwise it shall be deferred until the next invoice issued by the Supplier after the total of Premiums to be paid out for Operational Issues exceeds such amount.

15.6	If all or part of a Premium or Mandated Operational Issue Payment in either case of USD 50,000 or above, is subsequently used by the relevant Customer(s) within six (6) months of the relevant Operational Issue occurring for the further placement of bets or otherwise recovered through the Client Gaming Platform, the Client shall report such amounts to the Supplier and shall reimburse the Supplier the amount paid by the Supplier in respect of that Mandated Operational Issue Payment or Premium (or, if only part of the Mandated Operational Issue Payment or Premium is reinvested by the relevant Customer(s), the amount reimbursed to the Supplier by the Client shall be pro-rated accordingly). The next invoice issued by the Supplier for the Fees shall be adjusted to reflect the sum reinvested by the Customer. If all or part of such Premium or Mandated Operational Issue Payment is withdrawn by the relevant Customer but an amount(s) up to the value of such Premium or Mandated Operational Issue Payment is subsequently redeposited by such Customer and has been retained by the Client within such six (6) month period, then this Clause shall apply equally to such redeposited amount(s).

15.7	Subject to Clause ‎ 14.1, the Supplier shall not be liable for any compensation or payment which the Client unilaterally decides to pay to a Customer other than in accordance with Clauses ‎ 15.2 to ‎ 15.6 and therefore any such amounts shall, in particular, not be a Premium or a Payout.

15.8	To the extent that an Operational Issue is caused by any errors arising (whether directly, indirectly, partly or solely) from an act or omission of the Client, its Affiliates, a Client Contractor and/or a Data and Content Provider and/or any error in the Data and Content Services then the Supplier shall have no liability to the Client for that Operational Issue.

15.9	The remedies set out in Clause ‎ 15.2 and Clauses ‎ 15.3 and ‎ 15.4 are, subject to Clause ‎ 14.1, the Client’s sole and exclusive remedy with regard to the Supplier’s liability in respect of Clause 15.1 and for any Operational Issues.

15.10	Any Losses and other claims, amounts, costs and liability of the Supplier arising out of or in connection with this Clause ‎ 15 will be subject to and count towards the limitations of liability in Clause ‎ 14.3.

16.	INDEMNITIES

16.1	The Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Supplier Indemnified Party from and against all Losses arising out of or in connection with:

	16.1.1	any breach by the Client and/or its Affiliates of Clauses ‎ 2.2, 2.3 and/or 8;

	16.1.2	any breach of Clause 10.15 (Restricted Territories).

16.2	Subject to Clauses ‎ 14.2, ‎ 14.3, ‎ 14.5 and ‎ 14.7 and the Indemnified Party’s compliance with Clause ‎ 16.4:

	16.2.1	the Supplier shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Client Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses that arise out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim brought against or suffered by the Client, solely to the extent that such Third Party Claim arises out of or in connection with the Supplier’s provision of the Service infringing the IPR of any Third Party (but at all times excluding where the Client is responsible for Bet Offers and content under this Agreement, including pursuant to Clause 2.3); and

	16.2.2	the Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Supplier Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses that arise out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim brought against or suffered by the Supplier, solely to the extent that such Third Party Claim arises out of or in connection with the Supplier’s use of any Client Assets infringing the IPR of any Third Party.

16.3	The Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Supplier Indemnified Party against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with any claims, allegations or proceedings made or initiated by a Market Access Partner or its Affiliates or associated entities against the Supplier.

16.4	If a Party, (the “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of a Third Party Claim (or any matter that might give rise to a Third Party Claim) to which Clause ‎ 16.2 applies:

	16.4.1	it will immediately give written notice to the Party which has given the relevant indemnity (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) stating in reasonable detail the nature of such Third Party Claim or matter and, if practicable, the amount claimed and shall consult with the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim or matter;

	16.4.2	the Indemnified Party will not settle or compromise or make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in relation to such Third Party Claim or matter without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party;

	16.4.3	the Indemnified Party will at all times promptly disclose in writing to the Indemnifying Party all information and documents relating to such Third Party Claim or matter;

	16.4.4	the Indemnified Party will take all such actions as the Indemnifying Party may request to dispute, resist, defend, appeal, settle, compromise, remedy or mitigate such Third Party Claim or matter, including using professional advisers nominated by the Indemnifying Party (with all reasonable professional costs properly incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of such a request to be borne by the Indemnifying Party);

	16.4.5	if so requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will allow the Indemnifying Party exclusive conduct of all proceedings in relation to the Third Party Claim in the name of and on behalf of the Indemnified Party, at the cost of the Indemnifying Party; and

	16.4.6	if the Indemnifying Party takes conduct of a Third Party Claim then the Indemnifying Party will give reasonable information on a reasonably regular basis to the Indemnified Party as to the progress of that Third Party Claim.

16.5	The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim that requires the Indemnified Party to pay un-indemnified amounts or limits its rights without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

16.6	Provided that the Indemnified Party gives written notice in accordance with Clause 16.4.1 and if the Indemnifying Party then fails or refuses to assume control of the defence of a relevant Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but no obligation to defend against such Third Party Claim, including settling such Third Party Claim after giving notice to the Indemnifying Party, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate. The Indemnifying Party’s delay or failure to perform any obligations under this clause 16.4 will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice as a result of such delay or failure.

17.	TERM AND TERMINATION

17.1	This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for the duration of the Initial Period. For the avoidance of doubt, after the expiration of the Initial Period, this Agreement shall continue in a rolling basis until it is terminated pursuant to its terms.

27.5	A waiver of any right, remedy, breach, or default will only be valid if it is in writing, and only in the circumstances and for the purpose for which the waiver was given and will not constitute a waiver of any other right, remedy, breach, or default.

The Parties may vary or rescind this Agreement without the consent of their respective Affiliates.

2.4	Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Supplier may, at its sole discretion, refrain from offering, or alter the number of Bet Offers, for a particular event, if the Supplier reasonably demonstrates that: (i) an event is considered suspicious (ii) information about an event is uncertain; (iii) the result of an event has no bearing on the outcome of a particular tournament/league (a so-called “dead rubber” event); or (iv) the estimated odds are below 1.01.

3.1	Event Risk Management

Decisions with regard to risk exposure per event group, per event and per Bet Offer may be taken by the Supplier in its sole discretion. Any instance where the total risk per Bet Offer, treating all bets as if they were singles (where multiple bets each leg of the multiple is treated as a single) has exceeded EUR 500,000 (the “Risk Amount”) shall be notified to the Client for information purposes. The Parties may amend the Risk Amount by agreement in writing.

3.2	Customer Risk Management

The categories of Customer Risk Management Data may need to be modified on agreement between the Parties from time to time for the purpose of improving Customer Risk Management. Customer Risk Management Data will be used by the Supplier to conduct Customer Risk Management and to create and enhance Customer risk profiles and from time to time the Supplier may match elements of the Customer Risk Management Data across the Supplier’s platform in order to do so.

Other than the limited Agreement Personal Data provided to the Supplier for the purpose of providing the Service, the Client shall ensure that the Supplier will have no access to any other data that the Client holds on its Customers, and the Client will be the sole party communicating with Customers. In order for the Client to communicate professionally with Customers, the Supplier shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the Client’s written request, provide to the Client all relevant information in the Supplier’s possession or control in connection with the Service concerning Customers who are affected by Supplier’s Customer Risk Management decisions.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Supplier may use Performance Data and pseudonymised Agreement Personal Data to enhance its services and service offerings to its clients from time to time.

3.3	Partial Bet Approval

Risk Management includes the monitoring and management of risk exposure, including the partial acceptance of bets (“PBA”), the refusal to accept a particular bet due to enhanced customer due diligence and management of suspicious bets.

The majority of bets sent for manual approval via the Supplier’s Partial Bet Approval tool, the so called “PBA,” will be handled within five (5) minutes.

3.4	Theoretical Payback

The theoretical payback and related parameters to be employed by Supplier for all sports, events and bet types are set forth in Appendix A, provided that the Supplier may make changes to such payback and related parameters at its sole discretion. The Supplier may from time to time provide access to a tool or functionality that enables the Client to adjust theoretical payback for some Bet Offers.

3.5	Risk Monitoring

The Client will have access to a book status report via the Supplier’s back office tool where the aggregated risks by Bet Offer can be monitored in real-time.

The Client shall indemnify the Supplier for any and all Losses incurred by the Supplier and/or the Supplier’s Affiliates that arises out of or in connection with or that otherwise related to the employment (including the termination of employment) of any Dedicated Trader.

2.3	If Client, acting reasonably, considers the Dedicated Trader to be unsatisfactory and have created a material adverse impact on the Client’s operations the Parties shall discuss this in good faith, including whether it would be appropriate to replace or remove the Dedicated Trader prior to the end of the twelve (12) month period referred to in paragraph 2.1. If during the Term the Client considers, acting reasonably, that more than two (2) Dedicated Traders are unsatisfactory and have created a material adverse impact on the Client’s operations, the Client shall have the right to terminate the Dedicated Trader element of the Service on immediate written notice.

2.4	Notwithstanding the above and subject to the Trader Fee (as defined in paragraph 6 of Schedule 1) being paid by the Client, the Client shall be entitled to an extended Bespoke Manual Bet (PR Bets), entitling the Client to request five (5) additional PR Bets per Dedicated Trader per day or thirty-five (35) additional PR Bets per Dedicated Trader per week (e.g. if the Client is paying for three (3) Dedicated Traders then the Client is entitled to fifteen (15) additional PR Bets per day or one hundred five (105) additional PR Bets per week) (the “Additional PR Bets”), provided that the Client uses commercially reasonable endeavours to submit a duly completed PR Bet request form to the Supplier in respect of an Additional PR Bet no later than twenty-four (24) hours before the relevant event or match (the “PR Bet Request”).
