A Subscriber who has entered into an annual subscription for the Services, may request to terminate the Agreement prior to the conclusion of the annual term by emailing shan@esgagent.ai.

APPENDIX A - DATA MIGRATION TERMS

If Your Proposal includes a data migration, the following terms apply to the migration of Your data into the Services:

A.1 Supply of information to Klean

Within 30 days of execution of the Agreement, and payment of necessary Fees, You must provide Klean with:

  1. a copy of Your existing database that is to be migrated into the test environment in a "zip" encrypted file;
  2. a "project lead" from Your business who is responsible for leading the migration on behalf of Your business; and
  3. a full list of active users to be migrated from Your existing database and into the Services.

A.2 Payment for one user

Klean will commence charging You for one user on Your account from the date that the Proposal is signed.

A.3 Go-live date forecast

Following receipt of the information set out in clause A.1 above, Klean will consult with You to identify the date when Your data is likely to be migrated into the Services (the "Forecasted Go Live Date").

A.4 Delays to Go-Live Date

Klean's ability to meet the Forecasted Go-Live Date referred to in clause A.3 is contingent on a number of factors, including whether You meet all of the timeframes set out in this Appendix A. Failure to provide the information set out in this Appendix within the specified time periods will affect Your place in Klean's data migration queue, potentially significantly, and will result in delays to Your Forecasted Go-Live Date. If You fail to meet the timeframes specified in this Appendix, Klean will assign Your new place in the data migration queue at its absolute discretion.

A.5 Project lead

Your project lead will be Klean's primary point of contact in respect of the migration. Klean will direct all of its queries and feedback regarding the migration to Your project lead and will only act on instruction of Your project lead in respect of the migration. Changes to Your project lead mid-project may result in delays to Your migration and Forecasted Go-Live Date.

A.6 Standard ESGAgent.ai fields

We will migrate Your legacy data into the standard ESGAgent.ai fields. Custom fields are standalone fields and do not relate to any ESGAgent.ai functionality, triggers, lookups or links to other records except for the record it is created for. If your legacy data to be migrated doesn't come within the standard ESGAgent.ai fields, you may require additional custom fields. Klean will map up to 10 custom fields per record type as part of Your data migration. You will be charged for additional custom fields per record that exceed this limit. Any new custom fields that do not require data mapping from Your legacy system can be added without charge during the migration project and post-Go-Live Date. Maximum of 10 custom fields per record type.

A.7 Compliance framework mapping

Compliance framework mapping will be imported based on the structure of your legacy database. For example, Klean will not remap a 2-level compliance structure to a 3-level structure available in ESGAgent.ai without additional customization.

A.8 Third party integrations

Klean may provide high level guidance on third party integrations available in the Services. You remain responsible for the setup, or transfer where applicable, of all third party integrations.

A.9 User acceptance testing

Following the migration of Your data into the test environment, Klean will provide You with an issue log and facilitate a "testing day" where you will conduct user acceptance testing within the test environment. Your project lead must notify any migration errors to Your Klean consultant by the end of Your designated testing day.

  1. If no errors are notified to Your Klean consultant within testing day, You will be deemed to have signed-off on Your user acceptance testing and the user acceptance testing phase of the migration will be deemed complete.
  2. If Your project lead does notify errors to Your Klean consultant within the user acceptance phase, Klean will work to rectify all notified errors and then facilitate a second guided "testing day" to ensure that the notified errors have been resolved. After this second round of testing, You will be deemed to have signed-off on Your user acceptance testing and the user acceptance testing phase of the migration will be deemed complete.

A.10 Final backup

Following user acceptance testing sign-off, You will need to provide Klean with a final and complete backup of Your data within the timeframe specified by Your Klean consultant. This backup will be uploaded into Klean's production environment. The date that this backup is uploaded into Klean's production environment is the go-live date of Your account (Go-Live Date).

A.11 Transition to the Services

There may be a brief period of downtime between the disconnection of Your legacy system and Your Go-Live Date. The timing and duration of any downtime will be agreed between You and Your Klean Consultant as part of the timeline to Your Go-Live Date.

A.12 Errors post Go-Live Date

Following Your Go-Live Date, You have a four week grace period in which to raise any error with the implementation directly with Your Klean consultant. After this period, any issues You raise with Klean regarding Your data or configuration in the Services will be considered a change request. Klean will decide whether to undertake the change request work, and the timing for completion of a change request, at its absolute discretion. If Klean agrees to undertake the change request work, You may be charged a fee for the additional work undertaken by Klean. Klean will advise you of the fee, and seek your written approval to commence, prior to commencing the additional work.

A.13 Subcontracting

You agree that Klean may subcontract Your data migration to a third party, where you have provided Your written consent to Klean doing so.

A.14 Exports of data from Your ESGAgent.ai account

You may make a written request for Your data to be migrated from one ESGAgent.ai account to another, duplicated, or otherwise exported from Your ESGAgent.ai account. If You make such a request, prior to commencing the migration, Klean will advise you of:

  1. any fees associated with the migration or export;
  2. the proposed timing of the migration or export;
  3. necessary approvals that Klean requires to undertake the migration or export.

A.15 Limitations with Data Migrations

There may be situations where functionality or fields that are in Your legacy system don't exist in ESGAgent.ai, which may impact how Your data is imported and displayed in ESGAgent.ai. We use reasonable endeavours to mitigate these issues but cannot guarantee that they will all be addressed. Klean does not warrant that Your migrated data will be displayed in the same format or field as it is displayed in Your legacy system.

A.16 Liability

You acknowledge and agree that it is Your responsibility to maintain a complete backup of the data that You are migrating into the Services at all times. You accept the following terms with respect to the migration of Your data into the Services:

  1. You indemnify Klean against:
    • Any claims that arise in connection with the damage or destruction of data in the course of providing the migration service; and
    • Any third party claims which arise in respect of data that has been uploaded into the Services in breach of applicable privacy or intellectual property laws;
  2. Excluded Liability: Klean is not liable to You for any indirect or consequential loss of any kind arising in connection with the migration of Your data into the Services, including loss or corruption of information or data; any loss of profits; any loss of sales; any loss of contracts or any loss or damage of goodwill.
  3. Limited Liability: Subject to clause A.16.2, Klean's aggregate liability to You, or any third party, for any claim connected to the migration of Your data to the Services, howsoever arising, is limited to (at Klean's election) to either the re-supply of the data migration service, or a refund of the fees paid by you for the data migration service.

A.17 Interpretation

Capitalised terms used in this Appendix that are not defined herein are as defined in the Terms of Use. These terms will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency between them and any other terms of the Agreement.

By using ESGAgent.ai, You acknowledge that You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use.
