Guidance Notes definition

Guidance Notes. This clause means what it says – provisions in the ITT and post-tender correspondence will all fall away and the completed contract document with Schedules comprises the entire agreement. It is therefore incumbent on buyers to copy the relevant provisions of the ITT and incorporate the relevant provisions of post-tender correspondence in the Schedules (see the guidance notes to each Schedule). The entire agreement approach avoids the need to refer back to the ITT and other extraneous documents and also has the advantage of allowing all relevant material to be incorporated together in one agreement signed under the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Xxx 0000. When advisers come to look at the contract in future they can be certain that they are seeing the full picture in one document. The entire agreement document should be complete and ready to be signed before commencing the standstill period – if it cannot be pulled together then it is difficult to see how the contract is ready to be awarded.
Guidance Notes. This clause gives the Purchaser licences to use Service Provider and third party IPR (including Third Party Software) as may be required to enjoy the benefit of the Services. Third party software may be made available on different licence terms in which case this clause may require to be amended. If there is a need to amend these terms or a need for more detailed IPR provisions e.g. where multiple different types of IPR or software are involved, appropriate legal advice should be taken. Licences Granted by the Purchaser The Purchaser hereby grants to the Service Provider a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence during the Term to use the Purchaser Software, the Purchaser Background IPRs, [the Specially Written Software, the Project Specific IPRs and all other Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Purchaser pursuant to clause 36 (Specially Created Intellectual Property Rights) Delete the highlighted text if the Service Provider will own the specially created intellectual property rights] and the Purchaser Data solely to the extent necessary for performing the Services in accordance with this Contract, including the right to grant sub-licences to Sub-Contractors provided that the Service Provider shall not, without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, use the licensed materials for any other purpose or for the benefit of any person other than the Purchaser. In the event of the termination or expiry of this Contract, the licence granted pursuant to clause 37.5 and any sub-licence granted by the Service Provider in accordance with clause 37.5 shall terminate automatically on the date of such termination or expiry and the Service Provider shall: immediately cease all use of the Purchaser Software, the Purchaser Background IPRs, [the Specially Written Software, the Project Specific IPRs and all other Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Purchaser pursuant to clause 36 (Specially Created Intellectual Property Rights) Delete the highlighted text if the Service Provider will own the specially created intellectual property rights] and the Purchaser Data (as the case may be); at the discretion of the Purchaser, return or destroy documents and other tangible materials that contain any of the Purchaser Software, the Purchaser Background IPRs, [the Specially Written Software, the Project Specific IPRs and all other Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Purchaser pursuant to clause 36 (Specially Created Intellectual Property Rights) Delete t...
Guidance Notes. Informal dispute resolution mechanisms – discussions, management escalation – should be included in the Management Arrangements. This clause proceeds on the basis that any contractual disputes that cannot be resolved informally are generally referred to arbitration under the Arbitration (Scotland) Xxx 0000. The statutory object of arbitration under the 2010 Act is to resolve disputes fairly, impartially and without unnecessary delay or expense – arbitration is therefore likely to be considerably quicker and cheaper than going to court. The courts will however have jurisdiction to intervene in the limited circumstances contemplated by the 2010 Act. Please note however that there will be circumstances where other forms of alternative dispute resolution may be appropriate such as mediation as referred to in the Management Arrangements. Purchasers should amend this clause to ensure that it meets their specific requirements on how disputes are to be resolved Severability If any provision of this Contract is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision is severed and the remainder of the provisions of this Contract continue in full force and effect as if this Contract had been executed with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision eliminated.

However, express requirements should be included if the Service Provider is asked to go further than the general law. In terms of the minimum insurance sums to be inserted at clauses 59.1.1 and 59.1.2, these should be calculated in accordance with a number of factors relevant to the nature of the contract. In calculating these figures, the Purchaser should seek appropriate legal advice and take into account the likely nature and extent of the risks involved in the Services and the value of the contract.
