3.2 The Client shall provide the Supplier with access to, and use of, all Materials reasonably required by the Supplier for the performance of its obligations under this agreement.
3.3 The Client shall be responsible (at its own cost) for preparing the relevant premises for the supply of the Services (where applicable) and provide in a timely manner such access to the Client’s premises and data, and such office accommodation and other facilities, as is requested by the Supplier for the provision of the Services.
4. MANAGEMENT OF SERVICES
4.1 Each party shall appoint a manager who shall:
(a) provide professional and prompt liaison with the other party; and
(b) have the necessary expertise and authority to commit the relevant party.
5. CHARGES AND PAYMENT
5.1 The Charges for the Services shall be set out in the Service Terms and Conditions.
5.2 Unless otherwise agreed, the Supplier shall issue an invoice in respect of the Charges, and the Client shall pay in full, and in cleared funds, to the Supplier the Charges set out in such invoice within 30 days of the date of the invoice.
5.3 The Client hereby acknowledges and agrees upon entering into this agreement any Charges specified by the Supplier in the Schedule must be paid in a timely manner. It is acknowledged and agreed that payments shall be made in accordance with the agreed milestones as set out in the project plan, and such payments shall be in accordance with the necessary performance being carried out as per the plan.
5.4 The Supplier reserves the right to review its prices for services which are charged on a time and materials basis annually, with any pricing changes applied in September each year. Any increases in costs to the Supplier in delivering the Services may be passed on to the Client by way of a reasonable increase in the relevant Charges, provided the Client is given no less than one month’s written notice in advance. This annual increase applies only to ongoing monthly service charges and does not affect any one-off project build costs or fixed-scope deliverables previously agreed.
5.5 If the Client fails to pay any undisputed sum properly due and payable under this agreement, the Supplier may charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above the base rate for the time being of the Bank of England accruing on a daily basis from the due date up to the date of actual payment, whether before or after judgement.
5.6 The Client hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Supplier shall have the right to suspend the Services in the event that the Client fails to pay any undisputed sum properly due and payable under this agreement by giving written notice to the Client. Such suspension shall not be implemented in respect of any disputed amounts. Any such suspension shall only be implemented after the expiry of written notice to the Client, for the attention of the Director of Finance & Operations (or an alternate representative in the event that such director is not available), giving the Client notice of suspension should the applicable undisputed amount not be paid within a further 3 days of receipt of such notice.
5.7 All payments payable to the Supplier under this agreement shall become due immediately on termination of the agreement or any Schedule, despite any other provision. This condition is without prejudice to any right to claim for interest under the law, or any such right under the agreement.
5.8 All amounts due under this agreement shall be paid by the Client to the Supplier in full without any set-off, counter claim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law). The Supplier may, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, set off any liability of the Client to the Supplier against any liability of the Supplier to the Client.
5.9 The Supplier operates an automated billing system that calculates the additional disk space and bandwidth required each month to ensure the Client’s website receives the necessary resources for growth. The standard allocation is 3GB of disk space and 30GB of bandwidth, with overages billed based on the Supplier’s previous package levels. Disk space is billed in 0.5GB increments, and bandwidth is billed in 5GB blocks. The Supplier no longer permanently increases hosting packages, as such changes did not accurately reflect the Client’s usage, and charges for overages will be based on actual resource requirements.
6. CHANGE CONTROL

6.2 The Supplier and the Client shall discuss any change to this agreement, or the Schedule (Change) proposed by the other and such discussion shall result in either:

(ii) in subsequent years, exceed the amount of Charges paid or payable by the Client in such year.
