MISSION LOGIX LIMITED – CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
The Customer’s attention is particularly drawn to the provisions to the provisions of Condition 4 (Insurance), Condition 12 (Limitation of liability) and the right of the Company to hold and dispose of the Customer’s pieces in Condition 9. The Customer is responsible for insuring the Customer’s goods, and the Company’s limit of liability is set out in Condition 12. In particular, Condition 12.3 specifies different liability limits in respect of loss, theft or damage to goods (depending on whether it occurs during the course of any courier services provided on behalf of the Company), and Condition 12.8 requires the Customer to first seek recovery of any such losses from its insurer. The limitation of liability in Condition 12 minimises the amount that the Company would otherwise need to charge to recover its insurance costs (or an additional amount to reflect risk).
The Company may update these Conditions from time to time and will notify the Customer of any changes by email – see Condition 22.4.

The Company shall use reasonable endeavours to operate and maintain the Integrations. The Company provides only an Integration and not the service or product which is subject to Integration (Third Party Service). By way of example, in the event that the Customer uses Zedonk or any other ERP platform, the Company provides only the means for the WMS to integrate with the customer’s ERP platform, not the ERP platform itself. In the event that the Customer uses DHL, Fedex, UPS, Royal Mail or DPD (or any other courier service) for delivery, the Company provides only the means for the WMS to integrate with the Customer’s courier account, not the courier service itself. The scope of each Integration from time to time is available at the following URL: https://www.mintsoft.com/integrations/. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) The Company does not operate nor has any control over the Third Party Service, and is not responsible for the features or content of the Third Party Service;

(i) The Company will not be responsible for any act or omission of the Third Party Service(including removal of access to, or failure or defect of, any API used to enable an Integration), nor for any failure of the Services caused by any non-standard configuration of the Customer’s Third Party Service account, nor any effects on Customer’s use of the Third Party Service due to its being used in connection with the Services.
11.2 The Customer acknowledges that the Services may involve the Company corresponding and co-operating with other service providers acting on behalf of Customer or Customer’s Client. The Company makes no representation, warranty or commitment and shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever in relation to the services or use of, or correspondence with, any such third-party service provider, or any transactions completed, and any contract entered into by the Customer, with any such third party, including in relation to any Integration. Any contract entered into and any transaction completed via any third-party service provider or Customer’s Client is between the Customer and the relevant third party, and not the Company. The Company recommends that the Customer refers to the third party’s terms and conditions and privacy policy prior to using the relevant third-party.

To the extent permitted by law: (i) the Customer shall not make any claim, demand or bring any legal action against any the Company Provider in connection with or arising out of the provision or failure to provide the Services; and (ii) the Company Providers shall not have any liability to the Customer in in connection with or arising out of the provision or failure to provide the Services.

- Customer’s compliance with data protection laws
The parties agree that the Customer is a Controller and that the Company is a Processor for the purposes of processing Protected Data pursuant to the Contract. The Customer shall at all times comply with all Data Protection Laws in connection with the processing of Protected Data. The Customer shall ensure all instructions given by it to the Company in respect of Protected Data (including the terms of this Agreement) shall at all times be in accordance with Data Protection Laws. To the extent the Customer is not sole Controller of any Protected Data it warrants that it has full authority and authorisation of all relevant Controllers to instruct the Company to process the Protected Data in accordance with the Contract. The Customer shall be responsible for ensuring all users of the Web Tools read and understand the Company’s Privacy Policy available on request and as may be updated from time to time.
- The Company’s compliance with data protection laws
The Company shall process Protected Data in compliance with the obligations placed on it under Data Protection Laws and the terms of the Contract.
- Instructions
- The Company shall only process the Protected Data in accordance with Part B of this Addendum and the Contract (and not otherwise unless alternative processing instructions are agreed between the parties in writing) (Processing Instructions) except where otherwise required by applicable law (and shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless applicable law prevents it doing so on important grounds of public interest).
- Without prejudice to paragraph 2 above, if the Company believes that any instruction received by it from the Customer is likely to infringe the Data Protection Laws it shall promptly inform the Customer and be entitled to cease to provide the relevant Services until the parties have agreed appropriate amended instructions which are not infringing.
- The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the execution by any Authorised User of any computer command to process (including deletion of) any Protected Data made in the use of the Web Tools will be a Processing Instruction (other than to the extent such command is not fulfilled due to technical, operational or other reasons).

For the avoidance of doubt, Royal Mail is not a Sub-Processor, but an independent data controller to which Protected Data is passed by the Company on the instructions of the Customer.

- The Company shall refer all Data Subject Requests it receives to the Customer without undue delay. The Customer shall pay the Company for all work, time, costs and expenses incurred by the Company or any Sub-Processor(s) in connection with such activity, calculated on a time and materials basis at the Company’s then-current rates, available on request.

The provisions of the Contract (including this Data Protection Addendum) shall constitute the Customer’s instructions with respect to Transfers in accordance with paragraph 1.
- The Customer acknowledges that due to the nature of cloud services, the Protected Data may be Transferred to other geographical locations in connection with use of the Services further to access and/or computerised instructions initiated by Authorised Users. The Customer acknowledges that the Company does not control such processing and the Customer shall ensure that Authorised Users (and all others acting on its behalf) only initiate the Transfer of Protected Data to other geographical locations if Lawful Safeguards are in place and that such Transfer is in compliance with all applicable laws.
- Audits and processing
The Company shall, in accordance with Data Protection Laws, make available to the Customer such information that is in its possession or control as is necessary to demonstrate the Company’s compliance with the obligations placed on it under this Addendum and to demonstrate compliance with the obligations on each party imposed by Article 28 of the GDPR (and under any equivalent Data Protection Laws equivalent to that Article 28), and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by the Customer (or another auditor mandated by the Customer) for this purpose (subject to a maximum of one audit request in any 12 month period under this paragraph 11).
- Breach
The Company shall notify the Customer without undue delay and in writing on becoming aware of any Personal Data Breach in respect of any Protected Data.
