If a Party gives notice under this clause ‎14.2, this Supplier Agreement will terminate at the end of the Initial Term or the relevant Renewal Period.
  • Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, either party may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other party (the “Defaulting Party”) if:
    • the Defaulting Party is in material breach of the Agreement and either that breach cannot be remedied or has not been remedied 30 calendar days after the Defaulting Party has received a notice specifying the breach and requiring it be remedied;
    • if the Defaulting Party becomes insolvent or has a receivership or administration order made against it in any applicable jurisdiction; or
    • the Defaulting Party suspends or ceases, or threatens to suspend or cease, carrying on all or a substantial part of its business.
  • The Supplier may terminate the Agreement (or, where appropriate, a part of the Agreement) with immediate effect without prior notice and without costs or compensation payable to the Customer, where:
    • the Customer fails to pay all or any part of the Charges due under the Agreement on the due date for payment and remains in default not less than 30 calendar days after being notified to make such payment; or

  • On expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason:
    • all licences granted under the Agreement will immediately terminate and the Customer will immediately cease all use of the Services and/or the Documentation;
    • each party will return and make no further use of any equipment, property, Documentation and other items (and all copies of them) belonging to the other party;
    • the Supplier may destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the Customer Data in its possession, unless the Supplier receives, no later than ten days after the effective date of the termination of the Agreement, a written request for the delivery to the Customer of the Customer Data inputted during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of termination. The Supplier will use reasonable commercial endeavours to deliver that Customer Data to the Customer within 30 days of its receipt of such a written request, provided that the Customer has, at that time, paid all fees and charges outstanding at and resulting from termination (whether or not due at the date of termination). The Customer will pay all reasonable expenses incurred by the Supplier in returning or disposing of Customer Data; and
    • any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the agreement which existed at or before the date of termination, will not be affected or prejudiced.
  • For the avoidance of doubt, a court order will not be required to give effect to any termination of the Agreement under this clause.
