TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR USE OF DIRECT ACCESS CRM SOFTWARE
Overview
This is an Agreement for the licence of the Direct Access Customer Engagement Platform (the software) to You by The Company.
The Schedule also contains a list of the rights We are granting You in the Software (“the Rights”) and any restrictions on the Rights. We agree that You can grant the Rights to other people (“Third Parties”) and You agree to make sure they comply with the terms of this Agreement.
In some places, this Agreement talks about both You and Us being “reasonable”. Where that expression is used it means that each of us must behave in the way that an ordinary person unconnected with our businesses would agree was reasonable.
