2. SaaS Service
2.1 General: Subject to payment of the Fees by the Client the Supplier must use reasonable
efforts to provide the SaaS Service:
(a) in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law;
(b) exercising reasonable care, skill and diligence; and
(c) using suitably skilled, experienced and qualified personnel.
2.2 Non-exclusive: The Supplier’s provision of the SaaS Service to the Client is non-exclusive.
Nothing in this Agreement prevents the Supplier from providing the SaaS Service to any other person.
2.3 Availability:
(a) Subject to clauses 2.3(b) and (c), the Supplier will use reasonable efforts to ensure the SaaS Service is available on a 24/7 basis however the Supplier cannot guarantee this availability. If the SaaS Service becomes unavailable the Supplier will work as quickly as
reasonably possible to restore availability.
(b) On occasion the SaaS Service may be unavailable to permit maintenance or other development activity to take place, or in the event of Force Majeure. The Supplier will use reasonable efforts to publish on the Website and/or notify the Client by email advance
details of any unavailability.
(c) Through the use of web services and APIs, the SaaS Service interoperates with a range of third party service features. The Client’s use of any third party service features is subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the applicable third party provider. The Supplier does not make any warranty or representation on the availability of those features. Without limiting the previous sentence, if a third party feature provider ceases to provide thatfeature or ceases to make that feature available on reasonable terms, the Supplier may cease to make available that feature to the Client. If the Supplier ceases the availability of a feature that is a material feature of the SaaS Service then the Client may terminate the Agreement by notice to the Supplier and receive a pro-rata refund for the remaining unused portion of any pre-paid monthly subscription fees. To exercise this right, the Client must give the Supplier notice of its termination within 30 days of the Supplier ceasing the availability of the material feature.
If the Client does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with this clause, it is deemed to have accepted the SaaS Service without the material feature. To avoid doubt, if the Supplier exercises its right to cease the availability of a third party feature, the Client is not entitled to any refund, discount or other compensation other than where it is entitled to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this paragraph and exercises that right in accordance with this paragraph.
2.4 Mobile App:
The Supplier may make one or more Mobile Apps available for use by the Client from time to time. As at the date of publishing these Terms the Supplier has published the ‘Conqa Site’ application on ‘Google Play’ for the ‘Android’ operating system and the ‘Apple App Store’ for the ‘Apple iOS’ operating system. Use of a Mobile App is subject to the terms of this Agreement together with any end user licence terms and usage rules for the Mobile App published on the applicable app store by the Supplier or by the third party provider of the app store (to the extent that any such third party provider’s terms and rules do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement) (Application Terms). A reference to accessing or using the SaaS Service in this Agreement includes using a Mobile App and accessing or using the SaaSService via a Mobile App.
2.5 Changes to the SaaS Service and Mobile App:
The Client acknowledges that as a hosted software-as-a-service solution, the Supplier may make improvements or other changes to the scope and functionality of the SaaS Service or a Mobile App from time to time and update the associated documentation. While the Supplier would not typically make changes that would intentionally cause the Client to lose access to material Data or fundamentally decrease the utility of the SaaS Service or Mobile
App to the Client (“Detrimental Change”), if a Detrimental Change is made during the term of the Client’s Agreement then the Client may terminate the Agreement by notice to the Supplier. To exercise this right, the Client must give the Supplier notice of its termination
within 30 days of the Supplier making the Detrimental Change. If the Client does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with this clause, it is deemed to have accepted the Detrimental Change. For all other changes, the Client is deemed to have accepted the change by continuing to access and use the SaaS Service or Mobile App (as applicable) from the date it is changed.
2.6 New Features:
The Supplier may introduce new features or functionality within the SaaS Service or a Mobile App with corresponding additional fees (“Optional New Features”) by giving the Client written notice of their availability and applicability. Use of any such Optional New Feature by the Client will be optional and subject to payment of the corresponding additional fee as notified by the Supplier to the Client. The Client acknowledges that the Supplier provides no commitment to introduce Optional New Features or any other features or functionality not already included within the SaaS Service or Mobile App as at the Start Date, and the Client agrees that its acceptance of this Agreement, and obligation to pay the Fees, is not contingent on any future features or functionality or any oral or written comments in public promotional material in relation to future features or functionality.

2.7 Support:
The Client may access the support articles published on the Help Centre pages of the Website for information on how to set up and use the SaaS Service and troubleshoot any issues the Client experiences in using the SaaS Service or a Mobile App. Where the Client requires technical support for the SaaS Service for issues that are not covered by the Help Centre the Client may contact the Supplier by the support email address or phone number
listed on the Website. The Supplier will endeavour to respond to any requests for technical support as soon as reasonably practicable during Business Hours. The Client may also provide the Supplier with Feedback, such as feature requests or suggestions for
enhancements or improvements to the SaaS Service, in the same manner as it requests support, however the Supplier may not respond to the Client in relation to this Feedback or act upon all such requests or suggestions.
2.8 Additional services:
The Supplier may, from time to time, make available to the Client additional services to supplement the SaaS Service upon the Client’s request, on terms to be agreed between the Supplier and the Client.

otherwise stated in a notice associated with the variation, all variations to the Terms and Policies will take effect for the Client the next time one of the Client’s users access the SaaS Service or fourteen days after the Client is first notified of the variation (whichever occurs
earlier). If the Client objects to the variation (acting reasonably) then the Client must discontinue its use of the SaaS Service and, as its sole and exclusive remedy, the Client may terminate this Agreement by notice to the Supplier. To exercise this termination right, the
Client must give the Supplier notice of the objection and termination within 30 days of the Supplier providing notice of the variation.
