3 Fees and Payment

3.1 In respect of each calendar month (save for the first calendar month) during which for any part of that calendar month each w3shop is enabled on the Platform for use by the Licensee the Licensee agrees and undertakes to pay to the Licensor the w3shop Fee for each w3shop made available to it, excluding in respect of the Included w3shops, which the Licensor shall invoice monthly in advance and which shall be paid on the payment dates and by such method as is set out in the Quotation under the headings Payment Terms and Payment Method respectively.

4 Use of w3shop

4.1 In addition to any other provision of the Subscription Agreement regarding use of the Platform the Licensee agrees and undertakes that it shall at all times use each w3shop as a conventional website, shall at all times comply, and cause users to comply, with such policies (including acceptable use and privacy policies) applicable to the w3shop (which the Licensor may notify the Licensee of from time to time) and in respect of each w3shop it will not:

4.1.4 permit anything to appear on the w3shop that is or could be considered defamatory, politically extreme, immoral, obscene, blasphemous, or which could otherwise offend public decency.
4.2 The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that if the Licensor reasonably considers that a w3shop is being used for any purpose other than as a conventional website or in breach of any of the above provisions or otherwise, in the common sense of the word, improper, then it may without prior notice take down the w3shop in question without incurring any liability whatsoever to the Licensee;
4.3 The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it is not envisaged that any w3shop will exceed such bandwidth as the Licensor acting reasonably (having regard to the size of the customer and the intended purpose of the w3shop and the fact that it is envisaged that only low volumes of traffic will be driven through the w3shop) considers appropriate, to the extent that such bandwidth is materially exceeded and/or is regularly exceeded the Licensor may charge the Licensee for each gigabyte of data (in and out) at a rate equivalent to the per gigabyte data charge of Licensor’s internet service provider or, without prior notice suspend or otherwise take down the w3shop in question, without incurring any liability whatsoever to the Licensee.

5 Acknowledgments by the Licensee

5.1 The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any other provision of the Subscription Agreement the total aggregate liability of the Licensor in respect of any and all causes of action arising out of or in connection with this Addendum (whether for breach of contract, strict liability, tort (including, without limitation, negligence), misrepresentation or otherwise) shall be limited to the aggregate w3shop fees paid by the Licensee in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim;
5.2 The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that w3shop functionality is a framework within the Platform that enables the Licensee to develop a website by selecting and populating functions within the Platform and that beyond those made universally available to all other licensees as standard the Licensor may offer add-on services and functions in respect of which there may be Additional Charges and terms and conditions;
5.3 The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that as regards the provision of any w3shop pursuant to this Addendum any words and phrases which have a customarily accepted meaning within the IT industry shall have that meaning unless stated otherwise;
