11.2 The Customer will ensure that copyright, proprietary and trade secret notices of the Supplier will remain on Licensed Program in machine-readable form, and on all Licensed Materials. The use of a copyright notice on the Licensed Program and Materials shall not be taken to indicate that they have been published.
11.3 The Customer acknowledges that the Licensed Program and Materials contain proprietary and confidential information of the Supplier. The Customer will take the same care to safeguard the Licensed Program and Materials as it takes to safeguard its own confidential information and this care shall not be any less than would be taken by a reasonable company to safeguard its information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Licensed Program shall be accessible only to those employees with a need for access to perform their duties, and Licensed Materials other than operator’s manuals shall be stored in a locked place and shall be accessible only to those employees with a need for access in order to perform their duties. Employees having this access shall be specifically advised in writing of the confidentiality of Licensed Program and Materials. Operator’s manuals shall prominently display a legend stating that they are the property of the Supplier and that they contain confidential information, and operators shall not be permitted to take them from their workstations. 11.4 No copies of any portions of Licensed Program or Licensed Materials shall be made by the Customer or the Customer’s employees, save that the Customer may make one copy of Licensed Program and updates or enhancements (if any) in machine-readable form for archival and back-up purposes.

| 12. | Default |
| 12.1 | Subject to paragraphs 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4, failure by the Customer to comply with any term or condition of this agreement shall |
entitle the Supplier to give the Customer written notice requiring it to make good the default. If the default complained of has not been cured within thirty days following receipt of this notice, the Supplier shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights it may have under this agreement or otherwise under law, to terminate this agreement and the licence granted under this agreement by giving notice to take effect immediately. The right of either party to terminate this agreement under this agreement shall not be affected by its failure to take action with respect to any previous default.
12.2 It is recognised by the parties that the confidentiality of Licensed Program and Materials is of great and central importance to the business of the Supplier. The parties therefore agree that if the Customer shall breach any term of Section 11 of this agreement, then the Supplier shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this agreement forthwith without notice.
12.3 In the event that the Licensed Program becomes the subject of a claim for alleged patent, copyright, trade ▇▇▇▇ or other intellectual property right infringement or breach of a trade secret, the Supplier may terminate this agreement forthwith upon notice to the Customer and the Customer shall cease use of and return to the Supplier all copies of the Licensed Program.

| 13. | Procedure on termination |
| 13.1 | Upon termination of this agreement, whether by expiration of its term or by reason of default of a party, the Customer shall return |
the Licensed Program and Materials and any copies of them to the Supplier and shall certify, under the hand of a duly authorised officer of the Customer, that the original and all copies of the Licensed Program and Materials have been given to the Supplier, all records or copies of the Licensed Program or Materials in computer memory have been destroyed, and that no copies of any part of the Licensed Program and Materials, in any form, remain in the possession or control of the Customer.
13.2 Termination of this agreement shall not affect any right of action of either party arising from anything which was done or not done, as the case may be, prior to the termination taking effect.
14. Supervening events
Neither party shall be liable for delay or failure in performance resulting from acts beyond the control of that party, including, but not limited to acts of God, acts of war, riot, fire, flood, or other disaster, acts of government, strike, lock-out, communication line or power failures, failure, inoperability or destruction of the Designated System (unless by reason of the negligence of a party to this agreement) or failure or inoperability of any software other than the Licensed Program.
