Customer, however, grants Unicontrol a non-exclusive, non-revocable and indefinite license to use Customer’s data in an anonymized format.

If data are stored by one of Unicontrol’s sub-contractors, Unicontrol will be subject to the restrictions applicable to the sub-contractor’s access to and copying and deletion of data.
  1. LIMITED LIABILITY
    • Unicontrol is not liable for any indirect losses, including any loss of profit, loss of goodwill, any failure to obtain or reach economic benefits and objectives, any loss of production, loss or distortion of data, any loss suffered because Unicontrol’s deliveries cannot be used as erroneously assumed by the Customer, any loss relating to unauthorised persons’ access to data and systems attributable solely to the Customer, or any loss suffered due to the lapse or breach of a third party agreement.

    • Customer is responsible for ensuring that the use of the Deliverables does not violate any current legislation in the country where Customer uses the Deliverables. The Customer must indemnify Unicontrol in every respect if claims are raised by third parties as a result of the Customer’s unlawful or infringing activities. Unicontrol exercises no control whatsoever of the Customer’s use of the Deliverables.
    • Unicontrol shall not be liable for any damages that the Customer’s naming, sorting and use of stored data might cause, neither virtually nor physically. It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to name, sort and use the data accordingly.

In case of any disclosure of Customer Data to a third party, Unicontrol will inform the Customer immediately, sending a copy of the third party’s request for disclosure, unless Unicontrol is prevented by law from doing so.

  1. USE OF SUB-CONTRACTORS
    • Unicontrol is entitled to use sub-contractors for the delivery of the Deliverables and, for example, disclose Customer Data to such sub-contractors to the effect that the sub-contractor in question becomes the sub-contracting data processor.

    • At the Customer’s request, Unicontrol must disclose the identity of the sub-contractors used in connection with the delivery of the Deliverables. Unicontrol must ensure that the persons being authorised to access the Customer’s confidential information are subject to the same duty of confidentiality as Unicontrol under these Software License Terms and Conditions. This applies regardless of whether such persons are employed by Unicontrol or a sub-contractor.
