    • (b) the Customer shall have no right to cancel any upgrade that it has made to its Subscription pursuant to clause 4.11.

    7.2 Where the Customer is a Consumer, under the 2013 Regulations, the Customer has a period of 14 days beginning on the Commencement Date in order to change its mind and bring the Agreement to an end.

    7.5 Where the Customer is a Consumer, under the 2013 Regulations, Viddyoze cannot provide the Services for 14 days following the Commencement Date unless the Customer has expressly requested that the Services are provided. In raising an Order, unless otherwise stated within that Order, such is deemed to include the express request that Viddyoze provides the Services immediately following the Commencement Date.

    7.6 The 2013 Regulations set out that where services are performed or digital content is supplied within the typical 14-day cancellation period following an express request to do so, the supplier is entitled to receive payment for such services or digital content, making appropriate deductions to any refund.

    • (b) as a consequence of clause 7.6(a), any licence granted under the Agreement immediately ceases; and

    7.7 For the avoidance of doubt, where the Customer exercises its right to cancel under this clause 7, the Customer warrants that it has not exercised any of the rights that would have otherwise been granted to it under clause 4 of this Agreement.

    7.8 Where Viddyoze becomes aware of any breach of clause 7.6 or clause 7.7, Viddyoze reserves its right to make an appropriate deduction to any refund that is due to the Customer or, if a refund has already been provided, invoice the Customer to reflect the Customer’s use of the Services. An invoice raised under this clause 7.8 shall be paid within 30 days of its date to the bank account nominated in writing by Viddyoze.

    7.9 Where the Customer is a Business, it shall indemnify Viddyoze, keep Viddyoze indemnified and hold Viddyoze harmless against any losses suffered by Viddyoze as a result of the Customer’s breach of this clause 7.
