Interest under this clause will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England’s base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%; 4.3.2        we may suspend all Services until payment has been made in full.

4.4      All amounts due from you to us shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

6.3      The purpose of processing of personal data of the Individuals of the Client is the execution, maintenance, development and control of the terms of this agreement, which constitutes the legal basis to process the personal data.

6.6      If at any time during the term of this agreement, you provide us with personal data, and this is not considered as Individuals of the Client, but rather, requires processing by us as part of the Services, then in such a scenario for the purposes of Data Protection Legislation, you are the data controller and we are the data processor. 

6.7      Where 6.6 applies:

6.7.1        you will ensure that you have all necessary consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the personal data to us for the duration and purpose of this agreement; 6.7.2        we and/or our subcontractors will only process this personal data in accordance with your reasonable written instruction.
