2.4 You acknowledge and agree that:
- the accuracy and usefulness of Platform Outputs depends on the accuracy and completeness of the Customer Data you upload;
- Platform Outputs are generated automatically and do not constitute professional advice. We are not a regulated provider of accounting, audit, tax, legal, financial or investment advice and nothing in these Terms or in any Platform Output is intended to be relied on as such advice;
- you are solely responsible for any decisions you take on the basis of Platform Outputs, and we recommend that you seek independent professional advice on any material matter before acting; and
- nothing in these Terms creates any professional, fiduciary or advisory relationship between us and you.

3. Your Warranties and Data Security
3.1 As a condition of your access to the Chasq Platform, you warrant and represent that:
- you have full capacity and authority to enter into and perform these Terms;
- all Customer Data is accurate, complete and lawfully obtained, and you hold all necessary consents, licences and rights to permit our processing of it under these Terms;
- your use of the Chasq Platform complies with all Applicable Laws, including the Data Protection Legislation; and
- you will notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any unauthorised access to or use of the Chasq Platform, or any other compromise of your account.
Our Data Security
3.2 We will maintain commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect Customer Data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. We will notify you without undue delay of any actual security breach affecting Customer Data of which we become aware.
4. Fees and Payment
4.1 You will pay all Fees as agreed between us at the time of acceptance. The Implementation Fee (if any) is payable in full on the Effective Date and is non-refundable.

4.2 Fees are payable immediately on the due date by credit or debit card, direct debit or bank transfer (or such other payment method as we may agree). You shall pay all amounts due in full without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except as required by law).
4.3 All Fees are exclusive of VAT, which will be added where chargeable.

5.2 As between you and us, you retain all right, title and interest in and to Customer Data, including any Platform Outputs generated from your Customer Data, for use within your internal business.
