use of the Insights Service or the
Website or accessing Data will be deemed to constitute acceptance of amendments to this Agreement.
3. PROVISION (AND LIMITATIONS) OF THE INSIGHTS SERVICE
3.1 Use of the Insights Service and the Website and access to Data are
each subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement (and any Contract).
3.2 To use the Website and/or the
Insights Service and/or to access Data, Client must not be a consumer and Client
warrants and represents that, for the purposes of this Agreement (and any Contract), it is not a consumer.
3.3 The Insights Service is available only through a Package (whether that Package
is a Free Functionality or a Subscription).
3.4 Much of the functionality of the Insights Service and the Website relates
to the making of comparisons, and the display of different information, relating
to aspects of goods and services offered by the Supermarkets. Such comparisons may
be achieved and information displayed in a variety of different ways depending on:
(i) the comparison functionality available from time to time on or through the
Insights Service generally; and (ii) any particular Package applicable to Client.
3.5 mySupermarket Insights uses proprietary algorithms and datasets which match different
goods and services together and against each other, as well as grouping them in different ways. mySupermarket Insights has,
of necessity, made assumptions as part of those algorithms and datasets; and Client may agree
or disagree with such assumptions. Nevertheless, Client represents and warrants
that it uses the Insights Service, the Website and the Data on the basis that:
3.5.1 it has no objections to the assumptions made with respect to such algorithms
(which may include assumptions as to matching rules, averaging rules and availability rules)
and it has no objection to the limitations of any algorithms, assumptions or datasets; and
3.5.2 it has reviewed and accepts the FAQ document on the Website. (Certain details of algorithms,
assumptions or datasets may be available through the FAQ document on the Website and Client
is assumed to have reviewed that FAQ document. For example, 'Market Share' data is stated in
the FAQ document to be based on the trolleys sent to a limit set of specific Supermarkets via
the mySupermarket.co.uk website and not on any other dataset. There are numerous other examples;
a review of the FAQ document by the Client is therefore essential for the Client to understand
the specifications and limitations of a Package and Package Attributes.)
3.6 The Website and the Insights Service and Data are directed solely at
those who access the Website, and otherwise use the Insights Service, from and for
the United Kingdom. mySupermarket Insights makes
no representation that the Insights Service (or any goods or services referred
to in it or the Website or the Data) are available or otherwise suitable for use
outside of the United Kingdom. If Client chooses to access the Website (or to
use the Insights Service) from locations outside the United Kingdom, or to use
Data in respect of any location outside the United Kingdom, Client
does so on Client's own initiative and Client is responsible for the consequences
and for compliance with all applicable laws.
3.7 The Insights Service and use of the Website does not include the provision
of a computer or other necessary equipment or software to access the Website. To use the Website,
Client will require Internet connectivity and appropriate telecommunication links and software.
mySupermarket Insights shall not be liable for any telephone or other costs that
Client may incur.
4. PACKAGES AND PAYMENT
4.1 Free Functionality: The Package Attributes for Free
Functionality are set out on the Website and/or otherwise made
available by mySupermarket Insights. As the name implies, Free
Functionality is free of charge. Client may elect to use Free
Functionality by just using that Free Functionality. However, some Free
Functionality may require registration by a Client (and/or may require
use of a username and/or a password supplied by mySupermarket Insights)
before use of that Free Functionality is allowed. (Please see further
Clause 8.) A legal contract comprised of this Agreement in respect of
any Free Functionality is formed when the Client starts using or
accessing that Free Functionality.
4.2 'Subscription Packages': The prices and Package
Attributes for Subscriptions are available on request from
mySupermarket Insights. Client may contact mySupermarket Insights
by phone or email for details on insights@mySupermarket.co.uk
or on 020 7258 7487. Client may also be contacted by mySupermarket
Insights by phone or email to discuss such details, if Client has
registered on the Website (as to which please see Clause 8). Once
a Subscription is applicable to a Client, any functionality that
would normally be provided as part of Free Functionality, is deemed
also to form part of, and is deemed also to be provided pursuant to,
that Subscription. In respect of a Subscription, Client must enter
into a Contract for that Subscription before use of that Subscription
will be permitted. A contract is formed when mySupermarket Insights and
Client have each executed a Subscription Order in respect of the
relevant Subscription.
4.3 Changes to Package Attributes: Package Attributes may be changed at any time by
mySupermarket Insights. However, in respect of Subscriptions which have already been
purchased and paid for (and which are therefore subject to a Subscription Order), Package
Attributes will only be altered via a new Subscription Order, provided always that
mySupermarket Insights can always (without a new Subscription Order) add new
features to a Subscription (by way of trial or otherwise) by way of
expanded Package Attributes (or otherwise) at no extra cost to Client, for
whatever period mySupermarket Insights see fit.
4.4 Renewing or upgrading a Subscription: The term
of a Contract for a Subscription shall be 12 months unless specified
otherwise in the relevant Subscription Order (but whatever that term is,
mySupermarket Insights call it the "Subscription Fixed Term"). In
respect of any Clients who wish to renew a Subscription mid-term, such
renewal shall take effect at the end of the Subscription Fixed Term. A
Subscription Order may contain provision for automatic renewal of the a
Contract at the end of its term. However, in respect of any upgrading
(or other alteration) of a Subscription, unless specified otherwise in
the any subsequent Subscription Order, such upgrade (or other alteration)
shall take place within the Subscription Fixed Term
(which Subscription Fixed Term shall remain unchanged,
unless with the prior written agreement of both the Client and
mySupermarket Insights through a new Subscription Order).
4.5 Invoicing: Unless specified otherwise in a relevant Subscription Order:
4.5.1 mySupermarket Insights shall invoice Client annually in
advance in respect of Fees; and
4.5.2 Fees shall be paid in full by Client within 14 days of
the invoice date.
4.6 Payment: Payment shall be by such method as mySupermarket Insights
indicates it is prepared to accept.
In any event, payment shall be in the currency of England from time to time.
Fees shall always be paid and payable without set-off, reduction or withholding on any account whatsoever.
4.7 Variation of Fees: mySupermarket Insights may vary the Fees from time
to time provided that it does not vary such Fees in respect of any Subscription
during the term of the Contract applicable to that Subscription (but may do so in respect of that Subscription
in respect of any renewal of that Subscription).
4.8 Late Payment: If Client is overdue with any payment due (including
Fees) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to mySupermarket
Insights, mySupermarket Insights may:
4.8.1 charge interest on the amount due but unpaid at the annual rate of interest
set under Section 6 of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998
from time to time from the due date until payment (after as well as before judgment),
such interest to run from day to day and to be compounded monthly;
4.8.2 mySupermarket Insights reserves the right to suspend the provision of
the Insights Service to Client until Client has rectified matters; and/or
4.8.3 terminate the affected Contract (or this Agreement) forthwith by notice
in writing to Client.
4.9 Cost increase: If the cost to mySupermarket Insights in providing
the Insights Service under any Contract increases as a result of any breach of
the Agreement (or any Contract) by Client, or the supply of incorrect or inadequate information
by Client, or any change to the law or any other reason beyond mySupermarket Insights'
reasonable control, such increase shall be added to the Fees payable in respect
of, and under, the relevant Contract. mySupermarket Insights shall notify Client
as soon as reasonably practicable in advance of any such increase.
5. WARRANTIES AND SERVICE LEVELS
5.1 Main warranty: mySupermarket Insights warrants that it shall use
reasonable care and skill in the provision of the Insights Service, the Website
and the provision of the Data (whether in respect of a Contract or not).
5.2 Non-responsibility for data source: When mySupermarket Insights compares
goods and services or displays business intelligence on any other matters including Data (whether in respect of different Supermarkets or
within the same Supermarket; or otherwise), although mySupermarket Insights uses its
reasonable endeavours to make such comparisons honestly and fairly, mySupermarket
Insights is dependent on raw data underlying the Data, which underlying raw data is
sourced from outside mySupermarket Insights. Some of this underlying raw data might,
for example, come from "back of pack" information, the National Health Service, information
obtained from the Supermarkets themselves, information obtained from other professional data providers or
from sources generally taken to be available
and reliable for the public. Subject to Clause 5.1, mySupermarket Insights does not warrant and
mySupermarket Insights expressly excludes all liability in respect of the accuracy, completeness,
fitness for purpose or legality of any Data or other information accessed using the Insights
Service or accessed via the Website or otherwise communicated to Client (by email, by hard copy
printout from the Website or otherwise). Client agrees that sole responsibility for the accuracy,
completeness, fitness for purpose or legality of information relating to a Supermarket, Data or
information as to goods or services or other data from a Supermarket shall rest with the relevant
Supermarket (or manufacturer, if that information is sourced from a manufacturer, such as that on
'back of pack') or other person from whom such information or data is sourced; save to the extent that mySupermarket Insights may not have complied with Clause 5.1.
5.3 Free Functionality: Subject to Clause 5.1, in respect of use of the Insights Service
and/or the Website and/or the Data which is subject to a Free Functionality, Client expressly agrees
that use of the Insights Service and the Website and Data is at Client's sole risk and that
the Insights Service and the Website and the Data are provided on an "as is" and "as available"
and "with all faults" basis and without warranties or representations of any kind either express or
implied.
5.4 Subscriptions: Subject to Clause 5.1, in respect of use of the
Insights Service and/or the Website and/or the Data which is in respect of a
Subscription, Client expressly agrees that use of the Insights Service and
the Website and Data is at Client's risk. However, mySupermarket Insights shall
use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Data is updated regularly
as further detailed below in Clauses 5.4.1 and 5.4.2
5.4.1 Service Levels in general: Client acknowledges that the Data is not updated
continually and ceaselessly but: (i) in respect of Online Supermarkets is updated at least daily
(subject to the remainder of this Clause 5.4.1 and to Clause 5.4.2); and (ii)
in respect of Offline Supermarkets is updated at least twice per week (subject to the remainder
of this Clause 5.4.1 and to Clause 5.4.2). Hoever in any event, it is Client's responsibility to
verify actual prices and other details from independent sources (such as with each Supermarket itself).
5.4.2 Service Levels in detail: The following service level is offered:
5.4.2.1 In respect of:
(a) Online Supermarkets, price and price promotions which appear within the Data are updated
daily except in the case of:
(i) technical glitches at a relevant Supermarket's online store; and/or
(ii) maintenance down-time at a relevant Supermarket's online store; and
(iii) Offline Supermarkets, price and price promotions which appear within the Data
are updated twice in each week except in the case of a failure by the person providing the
relevant data underpinning the Data in respect of the relevant Offline Supermarket (such as
details of those prices and promotions in respect of that Offline Supermarket) to so provide
that data to mySupermarket Insights for whatever reason.
5.4.2.2 Technical errors affecting the Website and the availability of the
Insights Service and Data may happen but, in respect of Subscriptions only, will
not usually occur on more than 5 occasions in a year (each such occasion lasting
for maximum 24 hours).
5.4.2.3 Data in respect of local goods or services available within Supermarkets
which local goods or services have a limited distribution, may take up to three
days to update within the Data; although mySupermarket Insights only warrants this
service level for Subscriptions.
5.4.2.4 The price of a good or service within a particular Supermarket will
continue to be displayed as part of the Data for several days, even if mySupermarket
Insights notices a temporary shortage of that good or service. However, if such
good or service is not restocked by a Supermarket after several more days (as to
which, the precise time period varies according to tweaking of the mySupermarket
Insights' relevant proprietary algorithms) then such good or service will be removed
from current Data (but may continue to appear in historical Data); although mySupermarket
Insights only warrants this service level for Subscriptions.
5.4.2.5 The Data will display (and support) the vast majority of the common
offer types, 'special promotion' types and 'bundling types' used by the Supermarkets.
However, there may be non-standard offers or non-standard promotions or complex
bundling deals, which are, or will be, offered by the Supermarkets that may not
appear in the Data (or may appear inaccurately in the Data). The Insights
Service is used on this basis. mySupermarket Insights continues to develop new algorithms
on an ongoing basis to bring more offer types, 'special promotion' types and 'bundling
types' into the ambit of the Insights Service so as to continually attempt to
improve the accuracy of the Data.
5.4.2.6 New goods or services offered by the Supermarkets or new goods or services
from particular manufacturers and suppliers may take several days to be appear and/or
to be updated within any current Data.
5.5 mySupermarket Insights will use reasonable endeavours to correct any errors
or omissions as soon as practicable after being notified of them in writing. However,
subject to Clause 5.1:
5.5.1 mySupermarket Insights does not guarantee that the Insights Service
or the Website will be free of faults; and
5.5.2 mySupermarket Insights does not accept liability for any errors or omissions.
In the event of a fault in the Insights Service, Client should report it by
email to: insights@mysupermarket.co.uk.
5.6 Subject to Clause 5.1, mySupermarket Insights does not warrant that use
of the MS Insights Service or the Website or the use of, or access to, Data will
be uninterrupted and mySupermarket Insights does not warrant that any information
(or messages) transmitted via the Insights Service or the Website will be transmitted
accurately, reliably, in a timely manner or at all.
5.7 mySupermarket Insights warrants that mySupermarket Insights has taken
reasonable steps (using industry-standard virus-checking software) with respect
to the Insights Service and the Website to check for viruses and anything else
which may have a harmful effect on any technology; but subject to that, mySupermarket
Insights does not warrant that the Insights Service or the Website is free from
viruses or anything else which may have a harmful effect on any technology.
5.8 Subject to Clause 5.1, mySupermarket Insights does not warrant and mySupermarket
Insights excludes all Liability (as defined in Clause 10.9.2) in respect of the
accuracy, completeness, fitness for purpose or legality of any information or Data
accessed using the Insights Service or Website; and mySupermarket Insights exclude
all Liability (as defined in Clause 10.9.2) of any kind for the transmission or
the reception of or the failure to transmit or to receive any material of whatever
nature.
5.9 mySupermarket Insights assumes no responsibility for the content or services
of any other websites or services to or from which the Website or the Insights
Service has links.
5.10 Subject to Clause 5.1, Client acknowledges that mySupermarket Insights shall
not have any responsibility for any business decisions taken by Client as a result of the
Insights Services (or the Data) or any use of the Insights Services (or the Data) by
Client or any other person.
6. CHANGES TO, AND MAINTENANCE OF, THE INSIGHTS SERVICE AND WEBSITE
6.1 Although, subject to Clause 5, mySupermarket Insights will try to allow
uninterrupted access to the Insights Service and the Website, access to the
Insights Service and the Website and Data may be suspended, restricted or terminated
at any time. This is true generally save that in respect of a Subscription, this
will only be the case for maintenance reasons or for reasons set out elsewhere in
this Agreement (or any Contract).
6.2 mySupermarket Insights reserves the right to change, modify, substitute,
suspend or remove without notice any information or Data or service on the Website
or forming part of the MS Insights Service from time to time. Client's access
to the Website and/or the MS Insights Service and/or Data may also be occasionally
restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities
or services. In the case of Subscriptions, mySupermarket Insights will attempt
to restore such access as soon as mySupermarket Insights reasonably can.
6.3 Subject to Clause 4.3, mySupermarket Insights may at any time withdraw any Supermarket (or any
goods or services of a Supermarket) or data source from (or add a new supermarket or other data source to) the Insights Service.
7. RULES FOR USE OF THE INSIGHTS SERVICE, THE WEBSITE AND DATA
Data
7.1 Limited Use of Data and Insights Service: Subject to timely
and proper payment to mySupermarket Insights of all Fees due and payable, mySupermarket
Insights hereby grants to Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable
revocable licence to use Data and the Insights Service for Client's legitimate
internal business purposes in the UK only provided the same is in compliance with
Clause 7.2.
7.2 Confidentiality: Data shall be confidential to the Client and
Client may not make the same available to any other person without the prior written
consent of mySupermarket Insights. Furthermore, any publication of, or reference
to, Data outside of the Client is expressly prohibited without the prior written
consent of mySupermarket Insights, whom Client hereby acknowledges would need
to grant a separate licence in respect of the same (and which will, in any event,
always be subject to the condition that "Source: mySupermarket" shall be appended to
such publication or reference). Furthermore, Client shall
keep and procure to be kept secret and confidential the Data and shall not use nor
disclose the same save:
7.2.1 for the purposes of the proper performance of this Agreement (or any Contract); or
7.2.2 as otherwise permitted by this Agreement (or any Contract); or
7.2.3 with the prior written consent of mySupermarket Insights;
provided that Client may disclose (but not permit access to it via the Insights
Service or Website unless such persons are Authorised Users) the Data to its
employees, agents, clients, consultants and
contractors who reasonably need to receive the Data for the purposes of exercising
Client's rights or performing Client's obligations under this Agreement (or any Contract). Where
Client discloses Data to its employee, agent, client, consultant or contractor,
it shall do so subject to obligations equivalent to those set out in this Clause
7.2 and shall use its best endeavours to ensure that any employee, agent, client,
consultant or contractor complies with such obligations.
Software
7.3 mySupermarket Insights (or its licensors) grants to Client a non-exclusive,
revocable, non-transferable licence to use the Software through the Website for
the purpose of using the Insights Service. Using the Insights Service and
Software allows Client to obtain information held on the Website or from the websites
of third party providers to mySupermarket Insights. When Client uses the Insights
Service, Client may cause the Software to send a request to the third party providers
for information regarding goods and/or services. Client acknowledges and agree
that when Client accesses and collects information from the third party sites
using mySupermarket Insights Software, Client does so on Client's own behalf and that Client
has not appointed mySupermarket Insights to act as Client's agent. mySupermarket
Insights simply makes the Insights Service and Software available to Client
by which Client may access such third party sites.
General behavioural rules
7.4 Without limitation to other general prohibitions in this Agreement,
the following uses of the Insights Service, the Website and Data are expressly

may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it. If a recipient asks
to stop receiving email of this nature, Client may not send that person any further
e-mail;
7.4.7 create or forward "chain letters" or other "pyramid schemes"
of any type, whether or not the recipient wishes to receive such mailings;

of particular persons) of the Insights Service and/or Website and/or access to

or access to Data, mySupermarket Insights may refuse to restore the Insights
Service or Website or access to Data until mySupermarket Insights receives an assurance
from Client, in a form that mySupermarket Insights, acting reasonably, deems acceptable
that there will be no further breach of the provisions of this Agreement (or any Contract).
7.9 Client hereby indemnifies and holds mySupermarket Insights harmless
from and against all claims, liabilities, proceedings, costs, damages, losses, costs
or expenses incurred by mySupermarket Insights caused by, or in any way connected
with any claims or legal proceedings arising from: (i) Client's use of the
Insights Service or Website or Data; or (ii) use of the Insights Service or Website
or Data through any of Client's password; which (in either preceding case) are brought
or threatened against mySupermarket Insights by any person; (iii) any breach
of this Agreement (or any Contract) by Client.
7.10 If Client breaks (or anyone other than Client, with Client's connivance
breaks) any of the rules in this Clause 7, there may be a degradation in the quality
and accuracy of Data for which mySupermarket Insights is not responsible to Client.
8. REGISTRATION AND SECURITY
8.1 At any one time, many (if not all) Packages are only available to Client:
8.1.1 if Client registers on the Website for the Insights Service (or part of it); and
8.1.2 in most cases, that registration is accepted by mySupermarket Insights (which acceptance is indicated by the grant of a username and/or password) to Client.
8.2 To register for the Insights Service, Client needs to supply mySupermarket
Insights with the email address of a User; possibly (depending on the Package) the names of
authorised Users of the Package, relevant postcodes, relevant email addresses; and
possibly some other personal information. (Please see mySupermarket Insights' Privacy
Policy here for exactly what information is collected,
how this information is treated and what is done with it.)
8.3 If mySupermarket Insights accepts that registration (and a
decision to accept or otherwise is at the exclusive absolute discretion
of mySupermarket Insights) mySupermarket Insights may allocate a password
to Client (and possibly a separate password for each Authorised User) to
enable Client to better use the Insights Service. Client shall keep any
such passwords strictly confidential (and shall procure that Authorised
Users and keep any such passwords strictly confidential) and shall
immediately notify mySupermarket Insights if any unauthorised User
becomes aware of any such password or if there is any unauthorised use
of Client's (or a User's) email address or any breach of security known
to Client. Client agrees that any person to whom its (or one of its
Authorised Users') user name or password is disclosed is authorised to
act as Client's agent for the purposes of using the Insights Service and
Website and Data. Client is therefore entirely responsible if Client (or
an Authorised User) does not maintain the confidentiality of such
passwords.
8.4 As part of accessibility requirements and restrictions, in order for Client (or a User)
to have access to the Insights Service, mySupermarket Insights may write small text files (such as cookies)
or flash cookies (any such type of file or cookie being "Licence Files") onto a User's particular
computer, so as to police the number of computer's from which a User or Client can access the
Insights Service (always in accordance with Package Attributes). Client shall not delete Licence Files;
deletion of such Licence Files may prevent or delay access to the Insights Service and is the responsibility
of Client. Furthermore, Client shall not (and shall procure that no person shall) attempt to copy or circumvent
Licence Files. (Please see mySupermarket Insights' Privacy Policy
here for more on Licence Files.)
8.5 Client warrants, undertakes and guarantees that all information provided
to mySupermarket Insights is full and accurate.
