The Customer recognizes, however, that all software (on which the Services are based) contains errors; and

The Customer however recognizes, and therefore agrees not to hold Drawy responsible on whatever ground, that this availability is subject to a variety of interdependent factors (such as the availability of telecommunication links, the interaction between software of various parties, network congestion on the Internet, etc.), which are substantially out of the control of Drawy.

11.2          If the Services do not perform as warranted, Drawy shall undertake to correct the Errors.

11.5          Drawy’s warranties do not cover interventions not assignable to Drawy such as, but not limited to: (a) Errors resulting from erroneous, improper, non-authorized or unsupported use of the Services; (b) Errors resulting from a fault of the Customer (including its Users); (c) Errors resulting from the interfacing of the Services with other software from third parties, unless approved in writing by Drawy.

12. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

12.1          Each Party shall comply with its respective obligations under Data Protection Legislation, and shall not undertake any action that would cause the other Party to breach any of the Data Protection Legislation obligations. In particular, the Customer shall ensure that: (i) all instructions given by it to Drawy in respect of the Hosted Data will be in compliance with applicable Data Protection Legislation; (ii) it has obtained all rights and permissions to process the Hosted Data outside the European Union and (iii) it has all required consents, licenses and approvals to use, disclose and/or transfer the personal data included in the Hosted Data.
