5.1. Service Provision: Chatsignals shall provide the Service to the Customer during the Term in accordance with this Agreement.

If the Service does not conform with the foregoing undertaking, Chatsignals will, at its expense, use reasonable commercial endeavours to correct any such non-conformance promptly, or provide the Customer with an alternative means of accomplishing the desired performance.

12. General
12.1. Confidentiality:
- "Confidential Information" means all confidential information disclosed by a party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. It includes the terms of this Agreement, Customer Data, business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes. It does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
- The Receiving Party agrees to: (i) use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care), (ii) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (iii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its affiliates' employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein.
- The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
- This Clause 12.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
12.2. Assignment & Sub-contracting:
- Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety, without the other party's consent, to its affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
- Notwithstanding the foregoing, Chatsignals may sub-contract its hosting, infrastructure, AI processing, and other obligations under this Agreement to third parties (sub-processors), as specified in Clause 11.5 and the Privacy Policy.
12.3. Force Majeure: Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure is caused by an event or circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, epidemics, pandemics, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labour or materials, or failure of public telecommunications networks ("Force Majeure Event"). The affected party shall notify the other party as soon as practicable and use reasonable endeavours to mitigate the effect of the Force Majeure Event. If the Force Majeure Event continues for more than 30 days, the unaffected party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice.
12.4. Entire Agreement: This Agreement (including the Privacy Policy and any documents incorporated by reference) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.
