This client agreement (“CA”) is made up of these client terms (the “terms”) and the order form. The order form sets out further definitions and commercial terms for these terms and the identity and details for Highly Coded and of you.

1.  the project and timing
   1. Highly Coded will provide the following services subject to and conditional on the provisions of this CA:

1. A)   the initial services up to the launch date to design, develop and deliver your project and any related services or items agreed by you and Highly Coded;
2. B)   the ongoing services from the launch date, according to the package selected by you and any additional services agreed by you and Highly Coded.

1. 1. Highly Coded will commence the initial services from the start date after you have paid the relevant proportion of the setup cost in accordance with the payment terms.
   2. All services and any related correspondence, documents or materials will be provided only in English unless agreed otherwise.
   3. Highly Coded sent you in its proposal an indicative timeline for a typical project similar to the initial services. However, this does not indicate the specific timing for your initial services. You and Highly Coded will agree together (and adapt for changes and specific circumstances) indicative timing for the initial services.
   4. Timing for ongoing services and responses from Highly Coded under them is set out in the relevant package (or if no timing is set out, then within a reasonable time from your contact). Included hours within ongoing services are indicative (averaged over 3 calendar months as needs require) and are a limit not a minimum.
   5. For all services, Highly Coded will use reasonable endeavours to provide services within any agreed timescales, subject to delay caused by factors not controlled by Highly Coded. Time is not of the essence for the delivery of any services.
   6. Highly Coded may assume that instructions and decisions from your personnel about your project are binding and authorised without the requirement for further input.
2.  client responsibilities
   1. You acknowledge that Highly Coded’s ability to provide the services depends on your full and timely co-operation (which you will provide), as well as the accuracy and completeness of information and data you provide to Highly Coded. You will:

1. A)  provide Highly Coded with access to, and use of, all information, data and documentation reasonably required by Highly Coded for the performance of its obligations under this CA;
2. B)  provide timely decisions, instructions and approvals requested by Highly Coded, as examples including only in relation to images, themes, colours, design, functions, testing, acceptance or anything needed to produce or amend the specification, the services or future changes;
3. C)  provide your materials to Highly Coded to the extent and by the deadlines and in the formats agreed or specified by Highly Coded to enable Highly Coded to provide the services.

1. 1. You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of your materials in accordance with clause 5.
   2. For a project, you will open a developer account with the project store owners and comply with their legal terms and make payments directly to the project store owner for the developer account and for having your project published in their project store. Highly Coded will assist you with the registration and with the relationship with the project store owners, but you and not Highly Coded are responsible for compliance with the project store owners’ rules and terms and conditions.
   3. You are responsible for all business, legal, tax, accounting and other aspects of your business, your materials and any contents or anything offered or marketed through your project or through anywhere that your project links to or is associated with. Highly Coded’s services relate to design and technical services related to setting up your project and supporting or maintaining it to the extent agreed as part of the services, in each case as instructed by you. Highly Coded does not take any responsibility for the compliance of your project with any legislation or with any business requirements other than as set out explicitly in this CA.
   4. Highly Coded’s services relate to provision of your project but not its contents nor legal documents. You will provide and be responsible for your own contents, business and legal documents (including as examples only any terms of use for your project or data protection or privacy or cookies policies or copyright notices). If you instruct Highly Coded to include any of these, you must provide them to Highly Coded as part of your materials. All legal risk or non-compliance with legislation from any wording that you provide, or from failure to instruct Highly Coded to create pages for any such documents, or failure to provide the wording to Highly Coded, is yours alone.
   5. It is your responsibility, factoring in the limitations and exclusions of liability in this CA, to take out and maintain insurance to the extent appropriate to cover any potential liability arising from your project including as examples only any liability that may arise as a result of vulnerabilities, contents or your materials or with any products or services that you offer or sell from your project.
   6. You will comply at all times with all applicable international, national, regional or local legislation, laws and legal requirements including as examples only regulations, directives, laws, statutes, statutory regulations and byelaws, legal controls, legally applicable emergency or alarm measures in each case applying to your project, your materials or to any contents or anything that you offer or market on or through your project.
   7. You agree to and accept the terms of licence and use (if any) and any acceptable use policy or other policies in relation to the online tools as notified by Highly Coded or referred to in the online tools or any related website.
2.  development and approval of your project
   1. The procedures in this clause 3 will be repeated as needed following any edits or future changes.
   2. Once Highly Coded has completed the initial build of your project and of any other items (such as images) agreed in the specification, it will send to you files or a test version of your project for approval and testing. You are responsible for testing functionality, links and material compliance of the test project with the specification and approving the design, structure, colours and any other aspect of your project (the “approval tests”) and notifying Highly Coded of any issues or otherwise of your approval.
   3. After receiving the test version of your project as referred to in sub-clause 3.2, you may instruct any edits to the extent included in the specification and Highly Coded will repeat the submission to you for approval.
   4. If you do not send a response about any approval within 5 working days (or longer if you agree this with Highly Coded) then the approval tests are deemed to have been passed and you are deemed to have the compliance of the test project with the specification.
   5. If any failure to pass the approval tests results from a defect which is caused by your act or omission, or by any factor or person for whom Highly Coded has no responsibility (“non-Highly Coded defect”), your project will be deemed to have passed the approval tests despite the non-Highly Coded defect. Where able to do so, Highly Coded will provide assistance or services reasonably requested by you to help to remedy any non-Highly Coded defect as future changes at your cost.
   6. “acceptance” of your project or of any future changes will be deemed to take place at the earliest of the following:

1. A)  the approval tests are passed by you;
2. B)  the approval tests are deemed to have been passed in accordance with sub-clause 3.4 or 3.5;
3. C)  you publish or you use any part of your project (or your project with future changes if applicable) for any marketing or revenue-earning purposes or to provide any services or goods to third parties other than for test purposes.

1. 1. After acceptance in accordance with sub-clause 3.6, you authorise Highly Coded to proceed without further notice to submit your project to the project stores for approval (if needed) and publication by the project store owners and to the host for hosting. You will provide any access details needed by Highly Coded to assist you with this process as part of the services. These access details are subject to the confidentiality obligations on Highly Coded in this CA, but you give permission for the Highly Coded licensor or other members of the Highly Coded network to access and manage the approval and publication process centrally or on behalf of Highly Coded.
2.  launch date and ongoing services
   1. The “launch date” for your project is the date of the publication of your project on the project store or (if different) the date of acceptance under sub-clause 3.6.
   2. To the extent set out in your package for ongoing services, Highly Coded will during the term (in each case subject to you being in compliance with this CA including its payment terms):

1. A)  use commercially reasonable endeavours to arrange and maintain approval, publication and hosting of your project on the project store and the project and any related database with the host; you acknowledge however that any project store owner and host are third parties outside the control of Highly Coded. Therefore, Highly Coded cannot guarantee their initial or ongoing approval and may need to implement future changes required by any project store or other relevant third party. If your project is denied or subsequently rejected by project store or the host and no suitable replacements are found within a reasonable time, you may cancel the ongoing services but without refund for any costs or fees already incurred for ongoing services and initial services;
2. B)  organise access for you to the online tools for managing your project and its contents (with the third-party products tools and software available being at Highly Coded’s discretion and with Highly Coded having no liability or responsibility for the availability, uptime or reliability of any of these);
3. C)  suggest to you any updates, amendments, replacements or additions to your project or its functionality that are advisable or required (at Highly Coded’s discretion and without obligation to monitor or make any such suggestions) to address vulnerabilities or to comply with requirements of the project store, host or other relevant third party or to implement any edits or future changes requested by you (in each case, subject to clause 6); you will be fully responsible for any consequences and liability if you decide not to instruct Highly Coded to make future changes after any such suggestion by Highly Coded;
4. D)  make available to you (which may be by access to remote support and information including through online tools) reasonable amounts of support, help, guidance and consultation (or refer you to an appropriate adviser) in relation to your project.

1. 1. The ongoing services fee only covers the amount of support set out in the relevant package at the time, and only remote support. If Highly Coded (at its option) agrees to any request by you for help requiring extra time or assistance away from Highly Coded’s office, you will pay additional fees for that help as agreed with Highly Coded (or otherwise at the default rate). If applicable, you will also pay Highly Coded’s reasonable related expenses such as travel, food and accommodation.
2.  project contents and your materials
   1. Highly Coded will include or incorporate in your project any of your materials and Highly Coded materials as instructed by you but in each case only to the extent (if at all) included explicitly in the specification.
   2. To the extent not explicitly included in the services, you will populate, upload, control, monitor, update, add to, change or modify your materials and the contents of your project yourself using the online tools.
   3. Highly Coded’s services relate to design and technical services but not to operation or contents of your project. You, and not Highly Coded, are responsible for ensuring that your materials and the contents of your project do not contain vulnerabilities and do not infringe applicable laws, regulations or third party rights nor include material which is obscene, indecent, pornographic, seditious, offensive, defamatory, liable to incite racial hatred or terrorism, threatening, menacing, blasphemous or in breach of any third party intellectual property rights or in breach of any site use policy on the website of the online tools or referred to from their terms (“inappropriate content”).
   4. You will indemnify Highly Coded against all damages, losses and expenses arising as a result of any action or claim against Highly Coded or any of the Highly Coded network that your materials or the contents constitute inappropriate content.
   5. You will fully indemnify Highly Coded (except in respect of death or personal injury to the extent that it results from Highly Coded’s negligence) in respect of all Highly Coded’s losses, costs, liabilities, fees, expenses, and of damages awarded to any third party in contract or in tort (including negligence) arising directly or indirectly from any claims against Highly Coded (or any of its related companies or individuals or Highly Coded network) by third parties (including your clients, suppliers or personnel) that relate to your business or to use of your project or to your materials.
   6. Highly Coded may include the statement “designed by Have It Coded” on your project unless agreed otherwise.
3.  edits and future changes
   1. If you wish Highly Coded to change the specification, design, pages, structure, functionality, features or any other aspect of your project or related documentation or training or to add further services related to your project after the date of this CA, you will notify any such change (“future change”) to Highly Coded in writing. This clause also applies to any changes suggested by Highly Coded to you for any reason, which are always subject to your decision and instruction.
   2. Highly Coded will notify you if it cannot perform or deliver the future change (which may be for technical or business reasons).
   3. For any accepted future change that falls within the definition of being an edit, Highly Coded will confirm in writing if it is included within the specification or services at the time of request. If Highly Coded does not confirm this or for any future changes that do not fall within the definition of being an edit, you will pay additional fees to Highly Coded for the services to deliver the future change.
   4. At Highly Coded’s discretion, any future changes may be subject to a new contract for services, especially for extensive changes. If not, (and therefore included under this CA), the specification will be deemed to include the future changes from the date that Highly Coded accepts the request. All clauses of this CA that applied to the initial services (as examples only including in those relating to design, approvals, acceptance tests and payment) will also apply to future changes. The definition of ongoing services is also deemed to include any amended ongoing services.
   5. The additional fees for future changes and for any related changes to the ongoing services will be as agreed by you and Highly Coded. If you instruct Highly Coded to proceed with the future changes without having agreed explicit fees for them, then the fees will be at the default rate.
4.  fees and payment
   1. You will pay to Highly Coded the setup cost for the initial services and the ongoing service fees for the ongoing services and any other fees in the amounts and in compliance with the prices and payment terms referred to in this CA, in each case including those in the order form, but as amended from time to time in accordance with this CA.
   2. Unless stated otherwise, fees include fees for use of the online tools and for the host. Highly Coded will pay these on your behalf provided that you are in compliance with your own payment obligations under this CA.
   3. You will pay directly or reimburse to Highly Coded (if so agreed) the fees due to the project stores (including any fees due to project store owners for your developer account) and fees for any third-party products (other than as set out to in sub-clause 7.2) used in relation to your project functionality. This may include, as examples only, payments for payment service providers or cyber security services.
   4. All amounts, fees and charges referred to in this CA and in any prices or fees for supplies or services from time to time from Highly Coded are exclusive of sales tax unless stated otherwise. You must in addition pay any applicable sales tax at the then prevailing rate.
   5. All sums due to Highly Coded must be paid in the currency. All sums due must be paid in a quantity such that the net sum received by Highly Coded is equal to the sum receivable from a client in the Highly Coded location, even if in fact you have to deduct any withholding taxes or other sums.
   6. You will not withhold or make any deductions from or set off any sums against any amounts due to Highly Coded on any grounds other than any set off arising directly from Highly Coded’s intentional breach of this CA, fraud or undisputed liquidated sums owing from Highly Coded to you. You acknowledge that this restriction on deduction or set off is reasonable in the context of the parties’ commercial relationship.
   7. Without prejudice to any other rights of Highly Coded, if you do not pay any sum due to Highly Coded on time you will pay to Highly Coded compensation and interest on the overdue unpaid sums at the statutory rates set out at the relevant time in accordance with the late payment of commercial debts (interest) act 1998 in England, as amended and supplemented by subsequent regulations. These rates apply whether or not that law would otherwise apply to you or to the debt or to the Highly Coded location.
   8. Until Highly Coded receives any overdue payment from you, Highly Coded may also without notice at its sole discretion suspend its services under this CA and / or access to the online tools and / or provision or arrangement of services or supplies to you including (as an example) the publishing or hosting of your project. Any such suspension will be without any liability from Highly Coded to you or any third party (including your customers or users of your project). You will be solely liable for the consequences of any such suspension.
5.  training
   1. Training in relation to your project, the online tools or anything related to the services is only included to the extent set out (if at all) in the specification or package.
   2. All training by Highly Coded may, at its sole discretion, be provided remotely or by providing access to online training materials, websites or training via the online tools.
   3. For any training by Highly Coded not included in the specification or package, you will pay to Highly Coded or to Highly Coded’s nominated supplier for any training the fees agreed by you and Highly Coded, or if no fees are specifically agreed, fees at the default rate.
   4. You will yourself train your own relevant personnel in the management of your project and use of the online tools and compliance with this CA.
6.   confidentiality
   1. Each party shall protect the confidential information of the other party against unauthorised disclosure by using the same degree of care as it takes to preserve and safeguard its own confidential information of a similar nature, being at least a reasonable degree of care.
   2. You and Highly Coded will keep and maintain the other party’s confidential information in strict confidence, stored securely, and will not (other than as part of the services) make or allow access to or copies of any part of it without the other party’s prior written consent.
   3. You and Highly Coded will only use confidential information for purposes related to the services and will not disclose or copy (unless with the other party’s prior written consent) any confidential information to anyone other than (to the extent necessary) personnel, affiliates, professional advisers, funding providers or (for Highly Coded) members of the Highly Coded network. This includes you not disclosing log-in or access details for any part of the online tools to any third party nor permitting anyone to use them other than Highly Coded, you and your personnel in accordance with this clause 9.
   4. This clause 9 applies at all times (or, for any information, until it ceases to be confidential information). Despite this clause 9, you or Highly Coded may disclose the following if disclosure is limited to what is strictly necessary and the other party is given as much prior notice as legally possible:

1. A)  information that the party is legally required to disclose by applicable law or authority of competent jurisdiction or whose disclosure is protected by law;
2. B)  information properly in the party’s possession (with full right to disclose) prior to receipt from the other party;

Any change after that date will not apply until at least one month has passed since notification of the change, so that you have time to terminate in accordance with this CA if you do not agree with the change.
   2. Other than as referred to in the order form and in sub-clause 18.1, no variations or modifications to this CA are effective except by written agreement duly signed by persons authorised on behalf of all parties, which in the case of Highly Coded must include a director of Highly Coded.
   3. Either you or Highly Coded may in its sole discretion give a whole or partial release, waiver, compound, compromise, indulgence or time (a “waiver”) in respect of any of the other party’s obligations or liabilities, but no waiver is effective unless in writing and signed by an authorised signatory. No waiver affects the rights of the party giving the waiver in respect of other liabilities or obligations or other rights relating to that obligation or liability.
   4. Nothing in this CA makes you or Highly Coded an agent, partner, employee or representative of the other party. Neither you nor Highly Coded will represent or hold itself out as being any of these nor as having power or authority to incur obligations on behalf of or pledge the credit of the other party.
   5. If any provision or wording within any provision of this CA is illegal, invalid, void, voidable or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the affected wording will be deemed to be deleted in that jurisdiction but the enforceability of the CA in any other jurisdiction will not be affected and nor will the validity or enforceability of any other provision, wording or part of this CA.
   6. No party to this CA will be liable for any delay or failure to meet obligations (other than a payment obligation) due to any cause outside its reasonable control (for example terrorist action, government controls, flood, fire, riots, war, epidemics) (“force majeure”), which it must notify to the other party as soon as possible. This sub-clause also applies if there are reasonable grounds to believe that such a situation is imminent even if it has not yet occurred. If performance of this CA is substantially prevented for 6 continuous months because of such a situation, either party may terminate this CA by written notice.
   7. This CA does not create any benefit or rights enforceable by anyone not a party to it except that a transferee, assignee or successor under the terms of this CA is deemed to be a party.
