This agreement should be read in conjunction with any Order Confirmation and Technical Specification documents which provide key contract details including; price and payment terms, contract start/renewal dates and site configuration.
By accepting this agreement you agree that:
You are authorised to accept it on behalf of the business entity which you represent;
This agreement governs the use by your business of Care Academy; and
You, and the business entity which you represent, will comply with all its terms.
If at any time you do not accept this Agreement, we do not permit you to use Care Academy. You may cancel your subscription within 7 days of the date of your Order Confirmation, so if you contact us within this time, we will arrange for your subscription to be cancelled, and for any relevant payments to be refunded minus any cost already incurred by us in configuring your site; please see clause 2.3 for further details.
Summary of what this Agreement says
This Agreement sets out your and our rights and obligations in relation to our provision of Care Academy and your use of it. The following is a summary of the more important clauses:
Clause 2 tells you how to purchase a subscription for Care Academy and related information and, together with clause 3, tells you how you can use it.
Clause 5 sets out your payment obligations, although more detailed information about prices and payment may be available from either Our Website or your Account Manager.
Clause 6 is important because it informs you how data will be used – because Care Academy is heavily reliant on data, the clause is quite long, but it is important you read it to understand what we will and will not do with your data. In summary it tells you how we collect your data and information, the purposes for which, and the manner in which we (and others) will use it.
Clause 7 includes an indemnity which will benefit you in the unlikely event Care Academy infringes third party intellectual property rights.
Clause 8 sets out our contractual promise (or “warranty”) about the quality of the service – this is important because it sets out your contractual rights if you are unsatisfied with Care Academy.
Clause 9 is also important because it sets out the extent of our liability to you if something goes wrong.
Clause 10 describes your liability if you breach your important obligations in clauses 2 and 3.
Finally, clause 11 describes how this Agreement can come to an end, and what happens if it does.

We will use contact details and other information which you provide to us, including your End Users’ Personal Data, for performing our rights and obligations in this Agreement and for performing our legal obligations. We may also use it to contact you, via your relevant or nominated personnel, about our other relevant products and services, and to conduct research about our customers. That contact may be made via our contractors. You acknowledge that there is certain information that we must use in order to be able to provide the Care Academy, including names, email addresses and passwords of your End Users. If for any reason we are not permitted to use such information, we may not be able to perform our obligations in this Agreement. You acknowledge that in such circumstances you will still be obliged to pay our charges, and you will only be able to terminate this Agreement in accordance with clauses 2.6 and 11.
6.2.2 The main ways in which we will contact you will be by telephone, email, via Our Website and by post. If at any time you do not want us to contact you in any of these ways, you should contact us so that we can update your communication preferences.

In addition if required, we will provide to you assurance in respect of the security of Your Data processed by us as may be reasonably required by you to comply with your obligations under the DPA.
6.2.5 Subject to clause 6.2.4, you agree that we may track and record the manner in which you, and your End Users, use Care Academy, for example to find out how much storage space you use, for how long each End User logs on, and other ways in which Care Academy are used. Examples of reasons we would do this include: to enable us to improve Care Academy, for the purposes described in clause 6.2.1. Under no circumstances will we provide Personal Data collected in this way (if any) to third parties unless required to do so by law.
6.2.6 The information which you submit and store via Care Academy may be stored on Edgeworks computer servers located in Maidstone, which servers are controlled and managed by our Affiliate. We comply with UK and EU legislation relating to our export of data from the European Economic Area, and have taken steps to ensure that our Affiliate provides the required level of protection for your Personal Data. Neither we nor our Affiliate shall under any circumstances transfer your Personal Data outside the European Economic Area unless authorised in writing to do so by you.

If that happens, you must take reasonable steps to mitigate any loss which you suffer or incur.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the warranty in this clause 8.1 is exclusive and instead of all other terms, warranties, representations and conditions, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, relating to our provision of Care Academy.
8.2 The warranty in clause 8.1 shall not apply to any warranty non-compliance which does not have a material effect on functionality and/or levels of service, nor shall it apply to the extent that any non-compliance arose or was exacerbated by any:
8.2.1 use of Care Academy other than in accordance with this Agreement; or 9.2.2 circumstances beyond our control, including any interruption to or failure of any website, computer and/or telecommunications services not provided by us, including the Internet. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly agreed that any such circumstances which a prudent and diligent party could have avoided with reasonable foresight shall not be deemed to be circumstances beyond that party’s control.
8.3 If you believe our provision of the Care Academy does not conform to the warranty in clause 8.1, you should notify us in accordance with clause 12.9. We will then attempt to verify such non-conformance, and if we successfully do so, we will use our reasonable endeavours to modify Care Academy to correct that non-conformance. If we are not able to do so, we will refund you the charges you paid for any future period of use of Care Academy. We will calculate such refund pro rata to the nearest day, from the date we receive your notice of non-conformance to the end of the period for which you have paid. This Agreement will terminate automatically when you receive such refund, when clauses 11.4 to 11.6 will apply.
These are your sole and exclusive remedies in the event of a breach of the warranty in clause 8.1.
8.4 We do not warrant that: (a) Care Academy will meet your requirements; (b) operation will be uninterrupted, or error or bug free; (c) their results of use will be correct, accurate or reliable; or (d) any defects in the Care Academy can or will be corrected.
8.5 You acknowledge that, subject to clause 9.1, no oral or written communications by or on our behalf shall create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of the above warranties.
9. To what extent is Edgeworks liable for providing Care Academy?
(You should ensure you understand this clause)
9.1 Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit our (or any Affiliate’s or licensor’s) liability for (a) fraud, (b) death or personal injury arising out of our (or any Affiliate’s or licensor’s) negligence or (c) any warranty about title or uninterrupted possession implied by statute (d) any indemnity claims made by you against us in accordance with clause 7.3; (e) any claims made by you against us as a result of our breach of clause 6.

9.4 The limitation of liability in this clause 9 has been calculated to be proportionate to the charges paid by you to use Care Academy and takes into account the fact that it is not within our control how and for what purposes you use Care Academy.

12.5 From time to time we may modify this Agreement by notifying you in accordance with clause 12.9 that it has been modified. You agree to immediately read such modified terms and, if you agree to them, you will indicate your acceptance of them by continuing to use Care Academy. If you do not accept such modified terms, you should contact us using the contact details given at the beginning of this Agreement to discuss the situation. If you do not accept such modified terms, you may terminate this Agreement, by giving us written notice. This will take effect at the next billing period. Until then, the unmodified terms shall apply to your use of Care Academy. Only one of our directors (or their nominee notified to you) is authorised to make any additional representations, commitments, or warranties binding on us.
12.6 We do not recommend or endorse any other entity, including any third parties who make Care Academy available to you – if you wish to engage with such an organisation, you should investigate its experience, skills and qualifications. No third party is appointed or authorised by us as our servant or agent, nor has any authority, either express or implied, to amend this Agreement, or to enter into any contract, provide any representation, warranty or guarantee with or to you on our behalf, or otherwise make commitments for us in any way whatsoever. Subject to clause 9.1, you agree that we will not be responsible for any act or omission of any third party, including any services provided by it in relation to Care Academy, including any administration of it.
12.7 Subject to clause 9.1, we shall not be liable for and shall be excused from any failure to perform our obligations in this Agreement due to causes beyond our reasonable control.
12.8 Nothing in this Agreement shall confer on any third party any right or benefit under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, except that the benefit of clause 9 may be exercised by the relevant third parties, provided that this Agreement may be terminated and varied without those third parties’ consent.
12.9 Your day to day communication with us must be via the contact details given in this Agreement and the Documentation (or any new details which we subsequently notify to you) and ours to you must be via those details given when you signed up to provide the Care Academy (or any new details which you subsequently notify to us). We will each use the appropriate communication medium including e-mail, and in the case of us communicating with you, by publishing notices on Our Website. All formal notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing including email. If sent by mail, formal notices shall be sent (if within the UK) by first class pre-paid post or (if within the UK or overseas) by courier of international repute and addressed: (a) if to Edgeworks to its registered office at Suite 3.03 Jactin House, 24 Hood Street, Ancoats Urban Village, Manchester M4 6WX, for the attention of the Managing Director (email: care-academy@edgeworks.co.uk); and (b) if to you, to the details you gave when you registered to use the Care Academy.
