8.1.3. carry out all other Customer responsibilities set out in these Terms in a timely and efficient manner

8.2. If the Supplier's ability to perform the Services is prevented or delayed by any failure by the
Customer to fulfil any obligation listed in these Terms ("Customer Default"):
8.2.1. the Supplier shall be entitled to suspend performance of the Services until the Customer remedies the
Customer Default, and to rely on the Customer Default to relieve the Supplier from the performance of the

directly or indirectly from the Supplier's failure or delay to perform the Services; and
8.2.3. it will be the Customer's responsibility to reimburse the Supplier on written demand for any costs or
losses the Supplier sustains or incurs arising directly or indirectly from the Customer Default
9. FEES AND PAYMENT
9.1. In consideration of the Supplier providing the Services, the Customer shall pay the Supplier's Fees in
accordance with this clause 9. The Supplier introduced a new premium payment plan (Premium) as offered on
the Website and as explained in clause 9.11. The Customer shall have the option to opt in the Premium, or
continue with the pre-existing payment plan. It is in the Supplier's discretion to offer the Premium to some
or all of its Customers and to provide free credits or not as per clause 9.11.
9.2. Before the Customer can use a part of the Services for which a fee is charged (the Customer not being
charged for simply creating a user account on the Website), the Customer shall purchase credits, in advance,
at one of the pre-determined amount options as offered on the Website or as agreed in writing between the
Supplier and the Customer.
9.3. The Customer can purchase credits using the online payment facility offered on the Website by following
the on-screen prompts. The terms of that payment shall be those of the payment provider, as applicable.
9.4. The Customer acknowledges that on each occasion that it makes a manual (i.e. non-automatic) payment to
purchase credits, the auto-renew option will be automatically enabled. The auto-renew option means that when
the Customer's credit balance falls to 10% (or lower) of the Customer's selected plan (e.g. 100 credits in
relation to the 1,000 credit plan), the Supplier will automatically take payment for further credits at the
pre-determined amount option of the Customer's then selected plan. The auto-renew option can be disabled at
any time by following the link in the Customer's account settings. For the avoidance of doubt, even if the
auto-renew option has been disabled, it will be automatically re-enabled each time that a manual payment is
made and would have to be disabled again if the Customer so wishes.
9.5. Once credits have been purchased and the corresponding payment has been received, those credits will be
applied to the Customer's user account on the Website. Once credits have been applied to the Customer's user
account, under no circumstances shall the Customer be entitled to a refund for unused credits (even where
credits have been purchased under the auto-renew option), other than in the event of a breach of these Terms
by the Supplier.
9.6. Credits can be used as set out in the Documentation and/or on the Website, including as follows:
9.6.1. Where the Customer or one of its employees carries out a LEMverify check itself. Once the LEMverify
check is requested and then successfully delivered to the Customer's user account as either a
"PASS" or a "REFER", then the appropriate amount of credits for that LEMverify check
shall be debited and the used credits shall not be refunded under any circumstances (save for under clause
9.7 below).
9.6.2. Where the Customer sends a link to one of its own customers to enable them to carry out a LEMverify
check (or checks). The end-customer will receive a link from the Customer. The end-customer will click on
that link and follow the instructions. Once the LEMverify check is requested and then successfully delivered
to the Customer's user account as either a "PASS" or a "REFER", then the appropriate
amount of credits for that LEMverify check shall be debited and the used credits shall not be refunded under
any circumstances (save for under clause 9.7 below).
9.6.3. LEMverify checks can be carried out as described at 9.6.1 and 9.6.2 above even where the Customer has
no credits (including because a payment has been unsuccessful), but the results of that check or checks will
not be made available to the Customer until it purchases a sufficient number of credits (at one of the
pre-determined amount options) as required for that check or checks.
9.7. If the LEMverify check cannot be completed and results in an “error” (including in the event that the
Services is temporarily unavailable), the Customer's user account will be recredited with any corresponding
credit for that LEMverify check that had been debited.
9.8. The Supplier takes all reasonable care to ensure that the Fees are correct at the time when the
relevant information was entered into the system.
9.9. The Supplier's Fees may change from time to time on reasonable notice to the Customer.
9.10. All amounts and fees stated or referred to in these Terms:
9.10.1. shall be payable in pounds sterling;
9.10.2. are, subject to clause 13.3.2, non-cancellable and non-refundable;
9.10.3. are exclusive of value added tax.
9.11. The Customer shall have the option to opt in the Premium subject to clause 9.1. The Customer shall
have an initial contact with the Supplier to discuss the terms of the new plan and the Customer shall be
granted free credits to try it. The credits shall be used within two weeks otherwise they shall expire and
the Supplier shall have to option to deactivate the Customer's account
9.12. Once the free credits have been used or expired the Customer shall provide written confirmation to the
Supplier that it will change its plan or not to the Premium.
9.13. The payment of the Fees shall be made in arrears, and only for completed verifications and consumed
credits. For the initial 4 weeks the Supplier will invoice the Customer every two weeks and the Customer
shall have 3 working days to pay the Fees. After expiry of the initial 4 weeks, payment of the Fees shall be
made monthly, upon the Supplier issuing an invoice and within 3 days of issue of the invoice.
9.14. In case of significant delay in payment or non-payment of the Fees, the Supplier shall consider
shifting the payment terms to payment upfront instead of payment in arrears or deactivating the Customer's
account. The Customer shall be liable to cover the Supplier's professional fees for recovery and shall pay
interest on the Fees due at 8% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from when the Fees became due
until they are paid.
9.15. If the Customer's account is deactivated subject to clause 9.14, it can only be reactivated when the
Customer pays the outstanding balance and at the Supplier's discretion.
10. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
