These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern the provision of services by Northbridge Email Marketing Ltd (“Northbridge Email Marketing Ltd”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) to clients, customers, and users (“you” or “your”).

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Northbridge Email Marketing Ltd in relation to our email-marketing services. By engaging us, signing a proposal, purchasing services, or otherwise confirming your acceptance, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.
Where a separate written agreement, proposal, statement of work, or order form exists between you and Northbridge Email Marketing Ltd, that document shall apply in addition to these Terms.

We may adjust recurring fees upon reasonable notice, subject to any written agreement to the contrary.

All intellectual property rights in our pre-existing materials, templates, workflows, methodologies, know-how, tools, and software remain the property of Northbridge Email Marketing Ltd or our licensors.
Upon full payment of all undisputed fees, and unless otherwise agreed in writing, you will own the final deliverables specifically created for you under the engagement, excluding our pre-existing materials and third-party components. To the extent our pre-existing materials are incorporated into deliverables, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use those materials solely as necessary to use the deliverables for your internal business purposes.
You warrant that any content, data, or materials you supply to us do not infringe the rights of any third party and that you have all necessary permissions to authorise our use of them for the purposes of providing the services.

Where required, the parties may enter into a separate data processing agreement. In the event of inconsistency between these Terms and a data processing agreement, the data processing agreement shall prevail with respect to data processing matters.
9. Force Majeure

If a force majeure event continues for an extended period, either party may terminate the affected services by giving written notice, without liability for termination, save for amounts due for services already performed and non-cancellable costs incurred.
10. Changes to Terms
We may update or modify these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, business practices, or legal requirements. Where appropriate, we will provide reasonable notice of material changes.
