These customer terms of service (the Terms of Service) describe the rights and responsibilities that apply when you engage us to provide training and career development programs (the Services) for your employees. The Services are provided via an online platform (the Platform). Please read these Terms of Service carefully.
1.1 We are Menon Labs Ltd (trading under the name “Hyphen”) (No. 12637769) (Hyphen, we and us), a company registered in England and Wales with our registered office at 1st Floor Gallery Court, 28 Arcadia Avenue, Finchley, London, N3 2FG, United Kingdom.
1.2 You can contact us by writing to us at 1st Floor Gallery Court, 28 Arcadia Avenue, Finchley, London, N3 2FG, United Kingdom or hey@joinhyphen.com.
1.3 When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails.
2.1 The Customer has the meaning given in the order form.
2.2 The Customer representative is specified in the order form. The Customer representative has ultimate authority for the use of the Services by the Customer. The Customer may replace its representative by written notice to us.
2.3 The Customer may authorise an agreed number of employees (each an Authorised User) to access the Services. The number of Authorised Users is specified in the order form.
3.1 The contract between the Customer and us (the Contract) is made up of: (1) the order form(s) in place between the Customer and the Supplier from time to time; and (2) the Terms of Service.
3.2 The Customer’s order is an offer to buy from us. Our acceptance of the Customer’s order will take place when we send the Customer an invoice, at which point a contract will come into existence between the Customer and us. These Terms of Service may be amended and updated from time to time. The Customer should review these terms periodically, and each use of the Service by the Customer and its employees is subject to the then-current form of the Terms of Service.
3.3 If the Customer renews the Contract or the Customer’s employees use the Services, after being notified of a change to these Terms of Service, the Customer shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to the updated Terms of Service.
4.1 The Contract shall commence on the Start Date and shall continue for the Term (each as specified in the relevant order form) unless terminated earlier in accordance with these Terms of Service.
4.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Contract shall renew automatically for successive periods of 12 months each (each such period, a Renewal Period) unless and until otherwise terminated by either party giving not less than two months written notice to hey@joinhyphen.com, such notice to expire at the end of the Term or the then current Renewal Period.
4.3 If the Customer notifies us of its intention to terminate the Services, the Contract will terminate at the end of Term or relevant Renewal Period (as applicable) and we will continue to provide the Services until the end of the Term or relevant Renewal Period (as applicable). In no event will any termination relieve the Customer of the obligation to pay any Fees payable to us for the remainder of the current Term or relevant Renewal Period (as applicable).
5.1 We or the Customer may terminate the Contract on notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches these Terms of Service and such breach is not cured within 30 days of the non-breaching party providing notice of the breach to the other party.
5.2 The Customer is responsible for its Authorised Users, including for any breaches of these Terms of Service caused by its Authorised Users.

8.1 In using the Services Authorised Users shall be able to upload information and files to the Platform (Content) and participate in Hyphen’s online community.
8.2 Hyphen is not responsible for the Content and will not supervise whether any Content is lawfully uploaded or distributed through the Platform.

The Customer acknowledges that Hyphen shall have:
9.1 The Customer must pay all fees applicable to the Services (Fees) as set out and described in the order form. The Fees are non-cancellable, non-refundable and are exclusive of all taxes, which shall be added to our invoices, as applicable, at the appropriate rate.

We will endeavour to make the Services available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, excluding planned downtime or issues related to force majeure.
11.1 We may leverage our employees, those of our corporate affiliates and third-party contractors (Third-Party Contributors) in exercising our rights and performing our obligations under the Terms of Service. We will be responsible for the Third-Party Contributor's compliance with our obligations under the Terms of Service.
11.2 Certain Services may be provided by third parties and the provision of such Services may be subject to further terms.
11.3 The Services may enable or assist Authorised Users to access the website content of, correspond with, and purchase products and services from, third parties via third-party websites and that Authorised Users do so solely at the Customer’s own risk. We make no representation or commitment and shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content or use of, or correspondence with, any such third-party website, or any transactions completed, and any contract entered into by the Customer or its Authorised Users, with any such third party. Any contract entered into and any transaction completed via any third-party website is between the Customer and the relevant third party, and not us. We recommend that the Customer or Authorised User (as applicable) refers to the third party's website terms and conditions and privacy policy prior to using the relevant third-party website. We do not endorse or approve any third-party website nor the content of any of the third-party website made available via the Services.
12.1 Authorised Users may submit Content or information to the Platform in connection with their use of the Services (Customer Data). The Customer will (a) inform Authorised Users of all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to their use of the Services and of any settings that may affect the processing of Customer Data, and (b) ensure that the transfer and processing of Customer Data under the Contract are lawful.
12.2 The protection of Customer Data is a top priority for us, so we will maintain appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards. Those safeguards will include measures for preventing unauthorised access, use, modification, deletion and disclosure of Customer Data by our personnel. Before sharing Customer Data with any of our third-party service providers, we will ensure that the third party maintains, at a minimum, reasonable data practices for maintaining the confidentiality and security of Customer Data and preventing unauthorised access. We shall not use or process Customer Data for any purpose without the Customer's prior written instructions; provided, however, that "prior written instructions" will be deemed to include use of the Services by Authorised Users and any processing related to such use or otherwise necessary for the performance of the Contract.
12.3 The Customer will own all Customer Data. The Customer bears sole responsibility for adequate security, protection and backup of Customer Data when it is in the Customer's or its representatives' or agents' possession or control. We are not responsible for what the Customer's Authorised Users do with Customer Data.
12.4 We will store all Customer Data on the Platform for the duration of the Contract. Upon the cancellation, expiration or termination of the Contract, we will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data and may thereafter, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data in our systems or otherwise in our possession or under our control.
12.5 Subject to these Terms of Service, the Customer (for itself and all of its Authorised Users) grants us and our Third-Party Contributors a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited-term licence to access, use, process, copy, distribute, perform, export and display Customer Data, only as reasonably necessary (a) to provide, maintain, develop and update the Services; (b) to prevent or address service, security, support or technical issues; and (c) as expressly permitted in writing by the Customer. The Customer represents and warrants that it has secured all rights in and to Customer Data from its Authorised Users as may be necessary to grant this licence.
