- with immediate effect, if the other party breaches its obligations under the GTCs, an Order Form, and/or a Statement of Work, and such default or breach (if capable of remedy) is not fully remedied within a period of 30 (thirty) calendar days (or such longer period as the notifying Party may authorize in writing) after the receipt of a written notice demanding cure in observance of Clause 15 of these GTCs;
- with immediate effect, if the other Party terminates its business; or
- with immediate effect, if either Party is unable to fulfill its obligations under the GTCs, an Order Form, and/or a Statement of Work due to a Force Majeure event within 60 (sixty) calendar days from the receipt of a written notice in observance of Clause 15 of these GTCs informing about such Force Majeure event.
- The termination or expiration of an Order Form and/or a Statement of Work shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of a Party under these GTCs, such Order Form, and/or such Statement of Work nor shall it affect the coming into force or the continuance in force of any provision thereof which are expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination or expiration.

- Following termination or expiration of the Order Form and/or Statement of Work, each Party (i) shall continue to maintain strict confidentiality of the other Party’s Confidential Information and (ii) shall within thirty (30) calendar days, return to the other Party or destroy (at the other Party’s election) all tangible embodiments of the same and any other materials belonging to the other Party.
- Obligations of the Client
- Client shall supply all information, including but not limited to data, documents, designs, specifications, and assistance required for 24i to execute an Order Form and/or a Statement of Work (e.g. development input such as video streams, APIs, etcetera) (jointly, "Client Information")in a timely and proficient manner. The Client shall be responsible for and guarantees that all Client Information provided by it to 24i is accurate and complete. 24i is not obliged to independently verify any of the Client Information provided by the Client and is not liable for any damage and/or delay resulting from errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in any of the Client Information provided by it to 24i.
- If Client fails to supply any Client information in time which 24i requires to execute an Order Form and/or a Statement of Work, 24i’s related obligations under these GTCs, such Order Form and/or such Statement of Work (including but not limited to the estimated Handover Date and Service Start Date and the provision of Products, Services, and/or Deliverables by 24i) will be suspended until the moment the Client supplies the missing Client Information to 24i. Any suspension in this respect will not affect the Client’s obligation to timely pay all the applicable Fees as agreed upon with 24i in the applicable Order Form and/or Statement of Work as such failure by the Client has not happened. In such event and upon receipt of the outstanding Client Information, 24i will communicate to the Client a new Handover Date and a new Service Start Date for the impacted Products, Services, and/or Deliverables in writing.
- Invoicing, Payment
- 24i shall invoice the Client as set forth in the applicable Order Form and/or Statement of Work.

- Except if agreed otherwise in an Order Form and/or in a Statement of Work, the Client shall pay all Fees due by it to 24i within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the Invoice. The moment of payment shall be the moment at which the amount due corresponding to the applicable Fees has been fully and irrevocably credited to 24i's banking account. The Client is not entitled to set off, deduct, or suspend the payment of any Fees payable by it to 24i as agreed in any Order Form and/or Statement of Work. Any and all Fees paid by Client to 24i are outlined in the applicable Order Form and/or Statement of Work and are not refundable.
- If the Client fails to pay any of the Fees due in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 6 it shall be in default without prior notice of default from 24i being required. From the day on which the Client is in default until the date of the payment in full, overdue payment interest shall be due at a rate of 12% (twelve percent) per year (for the avoidance of doubt, at a rate of 1% (one percent) per month) on the aggregate amount of the outstanding Fees, which interest will accrue daily until the date of actual payment and be compounded at the end of each calendar month. All judicial and extrajudicial costs incurred by 24i as a result of the Client’s default shall be paid by the Client.
- Subscription Fees and License Fees shall be subject to annual adjustments based on United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) but limited to 5%, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties.

- Title to all Client Information made available by the Client to 24i shall remain in the Client.

Client hereby grants to 24i a free, non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, revocable license/right to use the Client Information to fulfill its obligations under these GTCs, the applicable Order Form, and/or a Statement of Work.
- Enablement Services, Handover Date, Defects
- 24i shall provide Enablement Services to the Client subject to the payment of the corresponding Fees as outlined in an Order Form. The relevant Order Form must also indicate the estimated Handover Date and the Service Start Date concerning the Subscription Services, the Platform Services, and/or the Licensed Software.
- The Client acknowledges and agrees that any delay in performing its obligations under these GTCs, an Order Form, and/or a Statement of Work, especially but not limited to the timely provision of the Client Information to 24i, may result in a delay in the performance of the Enablement Services, the Handover Date, the Service Start Date and/or the provision of Products, Services, and/or Deliverables by 24i to Client. In such a situation, 24i will not be liable towards the Client in respect of any delay in meeting any of its commitments resulting from the Client's failure to perform any of its obligations under these GTCs, an Order Form, and/or a Statement of Work.
- If Defects in the Products, Services, and/or Deliverables are detected by the Client following the Handover Date, such Defects will be resolved by 24i within a reasonable timeframe depending upon the severity of the Defects. In the case of a critical Defect (i.e. a Defect that completely prevents the Service Start Date, a Defect that renders the Products, Services, and/or Deliverables inoperable or causes a system crash), 24i will correct the Defects as soon as possible and the interval of time referred to in Clause 8.4 of these GTCs will be suspended until 24i provides a temporary fix or resolves the Defect. In the case of a non-critical Defect (i.e. a Defect that does not prevent the access and use of the Products, Services, and/or Deliverables by the Client), 24i will correct the Defect within a reasonable timeframe that corresponds to the severity of the non-critical Defect without prejudice to the interval of time referred to in Clause 8.4 of these GTCs; and If no critical Defect in respect of the Software is detected by the Client, the Client shall confirm at its earliest convenience to 24i its irrevocable acceptance of the Products, Services, and/or Deliverables in writing (being email valid for this purpose).
- If the Client does not report any critical Defect within 7 (seven) calendar days after the Handover Date or if at any time the Client commences live running of the whole or any part of the Products, Services, and/or Deliverables, the Products, Services, and/or Deliverables shall be deemed irrevocably accepted by the Client.
