Period, in which case &nbsp;</p> <p>the Agreement shall terminate upon the expiry of the &nbsp;</p> <p>applicable Initial Subscription Term or Renewal Period. or </p> <p>▪ (b) otherwise terminated in accordance with the &nbsp;</p> <p>provisions of these Conditions. </p> <p>and the Initial Subscription Term together with any subsequent Renewal Periods &nbsp;shall constitute the Subscription Term.

Agreement and/or these Conditions in such a &nbsp;manner as to reasonably justify the opinion that its &nbsp;conduct is inconsistent with it having the intention or &nbsp;ability to give effect to the Agreement and/or these &nbsp;Conditions. </p> <p>▪ (d) the other party suspends, or threatens to suspend, &nbsp;payment of its debts or is unable to pay its debts as they &nbsp;fall due or admits

court, or an order is made, &nbsp;for the appointment of an administrator, or if a notice of &nbsp;intention to appoint an administrator is given or if an &nbsp;administrator is appointed, over the other party. </p> <p>▪ (h) the holder of a qualifying floating charge over the &nbsp;assets of that other party has become entitled to appoint &nbsp;or has appointed an administrative receiver. </p> <p>▪ (i) a person becomes entitled to appoint a receiver over &nbsp;the assets of the other party or a receiver is appointed &nbsp;over the assets of the other party. </p> <p>▪ (j) a creditor or encumbrancer of the other party attaches &nbsp;or takes possession of, or a distress, execution, &nbsp;sequestration or other such process is levied or enforced &nbsp;on or sued against, the whole or any part of the other &nbsp;party's assets and such attachment or process is not &nbsp;discharged within 14 days. </p> <p>▪ (k) any event occurs, or proceeding is taken, with respect &nbsp;to the other party in any jurisdiction to which it is subject </p> <p>that has an effect equivalent or similar to any of the &nbsp;</p> <p>events mentioned above (inclusive). </p> <p>▪ (l) the other party suspends or ceases, or threatens to &nbsp;</p> <p>suspend or cease, carrying on all or a substantial part of &nbsp;</p> <p>its business. </p> <p>On termination of the Agreement for any reason: </p> <p>▪ (a) all licences granted to the Customer (and, if &nbsp;</p> <p>applicable, any Authorised User) shall immediately &nbsp;</p> <p>terminate. </p> <p>▪ (b) the Customer shall cease to use the Software and the &nbsp;</p> <p>Services (if applicable). </p> <p>▪ (c) each party shall return and make no further use of any &nbsp;</p> <p>equipment, property, Documentation and other items &nbsp;</p> <p>(and all copies of them) belonging to the other party. </p> <p>▪ (d) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the &nbsp;</p> <p>parties that have accrued up to the date of termination, &nbsp;</p> <p>including the right to claim damages in respect of any &nbsp;</p> <p>breach of the Agreement which existed at or before the &nbsp;</p> <p>date of termination shall not be affected or prejudiced. </p> <p>▪ (e) for the avoidance of doubt, save in the case provided &nbsp;</p> <p>under the limitation of liability clause, Texthelp Ltd.&nbsp;shall not be &nbsp;</p> <p>required to repay, refund or otherwise compensate the &nbsp;</p> <p>Customer for any Subscription Fees in the event that the &nbsp;</p> <p>Agreement is terminated part way through the Initial
