The client/subscriber has purchased a non-transferable, non-exclusive, license to access specific CAI products, which will be subject to the following terms and conditions. Detailed description of goods and/or services CAI is a business in the research and intelligence industry that markets Africa-related research and analysis primarily focusing on Africa’s economic, financial, political and social affairs. In addition to producing tailored research and/or analytical reports as per clients’ specific requirements, CAI produces three monthly reports available via subscription, the Africa Monthly Monitors (AMMs). These three reports include the: Africa Asia Monthly Monitor (AAMM), Africa Conflict Monthly Monitor (ACMM) and Africa Insight Monthly Monitor (AIMM). Subscriptions to the AMM reports are available via 1, 3, 6 and 12 month subscriptions. Delivery policy Subject to confirmation of payment, new AMM subscriptions will be processed within 48 hours. At that time, new AMM Subscribers will receive access to the latest edition of the report/s to which they have subscribed. Access to future AMM reports to which the Subscriber has subscribed will be provided to the subscriber on a monthly basis throughout the subscription period. CAI reserves the right to suspend the subscription services temporarily in the event of technical difficulties or other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of CAI. In the event of any such temporary suspension of subscription services, CAI will use all reasonable endeavours to resume these services as soon as practicable but shall not be liable for any loss, damage or claim caused by such temporary suspension. AMM Premium Subscriptions Premium subscriptions to CAI's AMM reports grant the premium subscriber a 5-10 page tailored report on a topic relevant to the AMM report to which the premium subscriber subscribes. The topic for the aforementioned report must be discussed and agreed upon between the premium subscriber and CAI's Director. CAI's Director has the right to decline topics which he deems beyond the scope of a complimentary 5-10 page tailored report. In such as circumstance, CAI's Director and the AMM team will propose alternative topics for consideration by the premium subscriber. Payment & refund policy Payment for tailored research projects and AMM subscriptions is to be paid in full. With regard to AMM subscriptions, this refers to payment in full for the full subscription period. The client/subscriber undertakes to settle invoices issued by CAI in respect of the services within 30 days of receipt, unless otherwise specifically agreed. Failure to settle in full on these terms may lead to the imposition of interest charges upon the client/subscriber at 6.5% per annum. CAI will not provide a pro rata refund once an AMM subscription has been made available to the subscriber (except in the case of failure of service, as is outlined below in 'Limitation of liability"), as all subscriptions will run their full term. CAI may terminate this Agreement, with immediate effect and without notice, in the event that the Subscriber has defaulted in the performance of any material provision contained in this agreement and (where capable of remedy) such default has not been remedied within 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the defaulting party. Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not affect CAI's right to recover any moneys due at the time of termination or to recover damages for any breach of contract before termination. Limitation on liability In the event of an established failure of the services, CAI's obligation shall be limited to (a) using its reasonable efforts to remedy any deficiencies in the relevant services, and if these deficiencies can not be remedied, to (b) refunding all payments from the client/subscriber in respect of any period for which the services have failed to be delivered. The obligation to correct defects or refund a proportionate part of the payments described above shall constitute the full extent of CAI's liability in respect of any loss or damage sustained by the client/subscriber whether caused by breach of this Agreement, misrepresentation, negligence of CAI (or its employees or agents) or from any other cause, and in particular, CAI shall not be liable for any consequential, economic or other direct or indirect loss (including but not limited to any damages payable to a third party, loss of profits or wasted resources) suffered by the client/subscriber. The foregoing exclusions and limitations of liability shall not apply in the case of death or personal injury. Ownership of Intellectual Property CAI's clients and subscribers acknowledge that:

Nor to any subsidiary, associated or holding company (whether direct or indirect) of the subscriber, whether trading or non-trading, or to any entity trading under the same umbrella trading name where the direct equity interest is different in any way to that of the subscriber.

Where the client/subscriber effectively copies, or has effectively copied, the intellectual property onto a hard disk, file server or equivalent at its own premises for ease of use, reference or any other reason, it is hereby agreeing to limit access to the agreed-upon number of users unless otherwise agreed in writing, and upon payment of additional fees to CAI.
