Club Technology manages these integrations on the Client’s behalf.

Club Technology shall not be liable for service interruptions caused by third-party providers beyond Club Technology’s reasonable control.
3.4 Changes to Services
Club Technology may update or modify the Services from time to time to reflect improvements, changes in third-party platforms, or security requirements. Material changes to the scope of Services will be communicated to the Client with reasonable notice and, where applicable, reflected in a revised SOW.
4. Client Responsibilities
To enable Club Technology to deliver the Services effectively, the Client agrees to:
- Provide Club Technology with timely access to systems, credentials, and information reasonably required to deliver the Services.
- Designate a named contact person with authority to instruct Club Technology on day-to-day service matters.
- Notify Club Technology promptly of any changes to the Client’s IT environment that may affect the delivery of Services (e.g. new software deployments, office moves, headcount changes).
- Ensure Authorised Users comply with The Clubhouse Terms of Service and acceptable use policies.
- Not knowingly introduce malware, unauthorised software, or unlicensed technology into the managed environment.
- Maintain appropriate third-party software licences (e.g. Microsoft 365 subscriptions) as required for Club Technology to deliver the Services.
- Ensure that the Client has the necessary authority and consents to allow Club Technology to access and process data on its behalf, as described in the DPA.
5. Fees and Payment

Fees for the Services are set out in the applicable SOW or MSA. Unless otherwise agreed, fees are invoiced monthly in advance and are due within 30 days of the invoice date.
5.2 Expenses
Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Club Technology in delivering the Services (including travel and hardware procurement) will be invoiced at cost, provided that any expenses exceeding £250 per item are pre-approved by the Client in writing.
5.3 Late Payment
Without prejudice to any other right or remedy, Club Technology reserves the right to charge interest on overdue invoices at 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

The Client retains ownership of all data, content, and materials that it provides to Club Technology or that Club Technology accesses in the course of delivering the Services. Club Technology is granted a limited, non-exclusive licence to use such materials solely for the purpose of providing the Services.
Club Technology may reference the Client as a customer for marketing or case study purposes unless the Client objects in writing.
7. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep the other’s Confidential Information strictly confidential and not to disclose it to any third party without prior written consent, except:
- To employees or sub-contractors who need to know it for the purposes of the Agreement and who are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations.
- As required by law, regulation, or court order.
This obligation shall survive termination of the Agreement for a period of five years. It does not apply to information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, or that was already in the receiving party’s possession without restriction.
8. Data Protection
Each party shall comply with its respective obligations under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Where Club Technology processes personal data on behalf of the Client in the course of delivering the Services, Club Technology acts as a data processor and the Client acts as the data controller. The terms of such processing are set out in the Data Processing Agreement (201cDPA201d), which forms a schedule to these Terms / the MSA and is incorporated by reference herein.
The Client warrants that it has a lawful basis for providing personal data to Club Technology and that it has obtained all necessary consents or has another valid legal basis for Club Technology to process that data on its behalf.

9.1 Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Club Technology’s total aggregate liability to the Client for all claims arising out of or related to the Agreement — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise — shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client to Club Technology in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
9.2 Exclusion of Consequential Loss
Neither party shall be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, or punitive loss, including loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such loss.
9.3 Exceptions
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for: death or personal injury caused by negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
9.4 Third-Party Services
Club Technology shall not be liable for losses arising from the unavailability, inaccuracy, or breach of third-party services (including Microsoft 365, NinjaRMM, or Freshservice) that are outside Club Technology’s reasonable control.
