15.4 You acknowledge that any breach of Section 10 by you or your end-users shall constitute a material breach of the Terms, with all consequences arising therefrom.
16. Content license and permission tokens from you
16.1 You retain copyright and any other intellectual property rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through the Services. In case you use Services features that allow you to submit, post or display the Content on or through the Services, you give Mandala a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, adapt, modify, and publish (on your behalf and pursuant to your instructions) such Content on social networks. For avoidance of doubt, the licence granted in this Section 16.1 is for the sole purpose of enabling Mandala to display, distribute and promote the Content to your clients and/or social networks users.
16.2 If you provide, as part of your use of Mandala’ Services or as part of the Content which you submit, post or display on or through the Services, any photograph or other materials protected by personality or privacy rights, you specifically agree that Mandala may use such photograph or other materials for the sole purpose of providing the Services.
16.3 You understand that Mandala, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to you, may (A) transmit or distribute your Content over various public networks and in various media; and (B) make such changes to your Content as are necessary to conform and adapt that Content to the technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, services or media. You agree that this licence shall permit Mandala to take these actions.
16.4 You acknowledge that provision of Mandala’ Services (or particular features within the Services) may be conditioned upon and subject to (A) you giving Mandala appropriate access level to your social media content by providing respective social media platform access permissions; and (B) you having appropriate user permissions or roles within the respective social media platform. As a result, when using Mandala’ Services, you may be required to grant Mandala certain permissions (through a dedicated permission token or a similar permission mechanism) to allow the Services access specific information and perform the requested actions.
16.5 You confirm and warrant to Mandala that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above licence, access and permissions to Mandala.
16.6 If any permission granted by you results in Mandala obtaining access to a private layer of data available through the respective social media platform, Mandala will keep such information confidential at all times, except where legally compelled to disclose the relevant information. Such obligation will not, however, apply to any information that (i) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to grating the permission to Mandala; (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after granting the permission to Mandala other than as a result of a violation of this Section 11.6 by Mandala; (iii) is already in the possession of Mandala at the time of granting the permission; (iv) is obtained by Mandala from a third party without a breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (v) is independently developed by Mandala without the use of your confidential information. If a separate non-disclosure agreement stipulating similar confidentiality obligations is in place between you and Mandala, the stricter of the confidentiality obligations shall apply.
17. Ending your relationship with Mandala
17.1 The Terms will continue to apply during the term of your original online subscription specified within the Services and during any renewed (extended) term as specified in Section 12.5 below, or until terminated by either you or Mandala as set out in Section 12.2 and 12. 3 below.
17.2 If you purchase the Services continuously on a monthly “pay as you go” basis online, you may stop using the Services and so terminate your legal agreement with Mandala at any time, without the need to notify Mandala.
17.3 Mandala may at any time, by sending a notice, terminate its legal agreement with you embodied in the Terms if (A) you have breached any provision of the Terms and failed to cure the breach (where such breach is capable of being cured) within a reasonable cure period provided by the other party, or have acted in a manner which clearly shows that you do not intend to, or are unable to comply with the provisions of the Terms; or (B) Mandala is required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of the Services to you is or becomes unlawful); or (C) the partner with whom Mandala offered the Services to you, or whom Mandala uses or whose cooperation Mandala needs in order to offer the Services to you (such as the social media platforms), has terminated its relationship with Mandala or ceased to offer its APIs, data, programs, application or services that are essential for the Services; or (D) Mandala is transitioning to no longer providing the Services to users in the country in which you reside or from which you use the Services; or (E) the provision of the Services to you by Mandala is, in Mandala’ opinion, no longer commercially viable. In the event you terminate the agreement for a material breach by Mandala as described in (A) above, or if Mandala ceases to provide any part or all of the Services during the agreement term for reasons stipulated in (C), (D) or (E) above, you shall not be required to make any payments for Services beyond the date of when you terminated the agreement or when Mandala ceased to provide the Services (as applicable). In the event you prepaid the Services, Mandala shall in such cases refund the pro-rata proportion of the pre-paid monthly fee.
17.4 Nothing in this Section 12 shall affect Mandala’ rights regarding provision of Services under Section 4 of the Terms. Nothing in this Section 12 shall affect your early termination rights granted to you under the applicable law.
17.5 If you do not purchase the Services continuously on a monthly “pay as you go” basis, and provided the agreement has not been terminated early either by Mandala or you as stipulated in the previous sections, then the following will apply: Your legal agreement with Mandala embodied in the Terms shall automatically renew (i.e. be extended, repeatedly) for another term corresponding to your original (preceding) subscription term, unless you or Mandala provide notice to the other of (y)our intent to terminate the agreement within the last thirty (30) days before the end of the then current term. You will be notified of the upcoming renewal and may notify Mandala of your intention not to renew by unsubscribing from the automatic renewal within the user interface for the Services.
17.6 When your legal agreement with Mandala comes to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations and liabilities that you and Mandala have benefited from, been subject to (or which have accrued over time whilst your legal agreement with Mandala has been in force) and/or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of Section 18.7 shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations and liabilities indefinitely.
17.7 Further, you understand and agree that the terms and conditions contained in the Terms (including the Payment Terms) will continue to apply to any renewed (extended) term pursuant to Section 12.5 above, as well as to any other continued use of the Services beyond the pre-paid subscription term, as they applied to the original subscription term, and you undertake to pay for the use of the Services by you or your end-users of the Services in accordance with the Payment Terms. You expressly and irrevocably authorise Mandala to debit your credit card for the settlement of such Mandala’ consideration.
18. Exclusion of Warranties
18.1 The Services are provided “as is” and Mandala, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its licensors give you no warranty with respect to them. Services features that interoperate with social media networks depend on the continuing availability of those social media network’s APIs, data, application, programs and services for use with the Service. If any social media network ceases to make its APIs, data, application, programs or services available on reasonable terms for the Service, Mandala may cease providing such Service features upon reasonable prior written notice to you pursuant to Section 12.3 (C). Mandala is not liable or responsible for the quality, accuracy or truthfulness of services or information obtained from social media networks and used within the Services or for interruption of access to such information caused by downtime or unavailability of the social media networks. Social media network content is not created or edited by Mandala. Mandala expressly disclaims and has no responsibility or liability for any social media network content that may be collected, received or created by you or your end-users in use of the Service.
18.2 In particular, Mandala, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its licensors do not represent or warrant to you that (A) your use of the Services will meet your requirements; (B) your use of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or free from error; (C) any information obtained by you as a result of your use of the Services will be accurate or reliable; and (D) that defects in the operation or functionality of any Software used to provide the Services will be corrected.
18.3 No conditions, warranties or other terms (including any implied terms as to satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose or conformance with description) apply to the Services except to the extent that they are expressly set out in the Terms.
18.4 Nothing in the Terms shall affect those statutory rights which you are always entitled to as a consumer and that you cannot contractually agree to alter or waive.
19. Limitation of liability
19.1 Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit Mandala’ liability for losses which may not be lawfully excluded or limited by applicable law.
19.2 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, whatever the legal basis for the claim, mandala will not be liable for any indirect damages (including, without limitation, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), damages for lost profits or revenues, business interruption, or loss of business information) due to, resulting from, or arising in connection with the terms, the services, materials, or the failure to perform our obligations.
19.3 Subject to overall provision in Section 19.1 above, Mandala, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its licensors shall not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential losses which may be incurred by you. Indirect and consequential losses shall include (A) any loss of profit (whether incurred directly or indirectly), loss of goodwill or business reputation, or any loss of data suffered by you; (B) loss or damage which may be incurred by you as a result of (i) any reliance placed by you on the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, or as a result of any relationship or transaction between you and any advertiser or sponsor whose advertising appears on the Services; (ii) any changes which Mandala may make to the Services, or for any permanent or temporary cessation in the provision of the Services (or any features within the Services); (iii) the deletion of, corruption of, or failure to store, any Content and other communications data maintained or transmitted by or through your use of the Services; (iii) your failure to provide Mandala with accurate account information; (iv) your failure to keep your password or account details secure and confidential.
19.4 The limitations of Mandala’ liability to you in Section 19.3 above shall apply whether or not Mandala has been advised of or should have been aware of the possibility of any such losses arising.
19.5 Mandala’ liability for damage incurred by you as a result of or in connection with the Services shall be limited to direct damages up to the amount you paid to Mandala for the Services giving rise to that liability during the last three months before the occurrence of Mandala’ liability (or amount corresponding to a three-month Service fee, as applicable). Mandala and you agree that this limitation reflects the damage that can be foreseen at the time of conclusion of this legal agreement between you and Mandala, taking into account all circumstances the parties know or should know while exercising due care and that can arise from a breach of Mandala’ obligations under the Terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mandala accepts no liability in relation to your use of any Services provided free of charge.

Your use of these other services, software or goods may be subject to separate terms between you and the company or person concerned. If so, the Terms do not affect your legal relationship with these other companies or individuals and you remain responsible for complying with the terms of use of such third party’ services, software or goods. If you use third parties’ services, software or goods while using the Services, you declare that you act in compliance with their terms of use. In particular, if you use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube or Google while using the Services, you must comply with the applicable Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/terms.php), Instagram (https://help.instagram.com/581066165581870/?helpref=uf_share), Twitter (https://twitter.com/en/tos), YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms), Google (https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en) rules in versions effective as of the date of use of such services.

23.4 You agree that Mandala may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Services website.
23.5 The parties agree that if one of them does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which such party has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of such party’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to it.
23.6 If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of the Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.
23.7 The Terms, and your relationship with Mandala under the Terms, shall be governed by Thai law. You and Mandala agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Kingdom of Thailand to resolve any legal matters arising from the Terms and the venue of the court of first instance shall be Thailand or the Municipal Court in Thailand, as applicable. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Mandala shall still be allowed to apply (A) for payment orders (or otherwise enforce payment for Services provided under the Terms) in the jurisdiction in which you have your registered seat or principal place of business, and (B) for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
