2. Your responsibilities

and inform us without
delay by email to support@kalends.com of any changes to your
details from
time to time;
iii. where you are provided with a password, keep your password

If 'you' are a company, business or other organisation, the
reference to 'you'
or 'your' in these Terms & Conditions are also, where
relevant, references to your Permitted Users (whether one
or all of them). It is your responsibility to ensure, and
you agree that you are liable for, your Permitted Users' compliance
with these Terms and Conditions. You agree that:
a. the Reuters Group and other information and software suppliers
have intellectual property rights in the Service or its contents,
including the Information and the Software;

from these
Terms and Conditions and may have the right to enjoy the protection
of and
enforce them; and
c. you will comply with any notices in the Service bringing
any intellectual
property rights in the Service to your attention and with
any restrictions or conditions we or other suppliers impose
from time to time on your access to and use of the Service
in order to protect our or those others' legitimate interests.
You agree that, if necessary, we may introduce such conditions
or restrictions without notice. You acknowledge that any infringement
by you of our, or another's, rights in any part of the Service

3. Use of the Service
You may not:
i. store or archive the Information, except on a temporary

require you to prove you are complying with this paragraph.
4. Changes by Reuters to the Service
or the Terms and Conditions
Reuters may change some or
all of these Terms and Conditions by telling you at
least 7 days in advance unless such advance notice is not
possible because, for example, we are required to make the
changes by law, a regulator or a supplier. The most up to
date version of the Terms and Conditions will be available
on the home page of the Web Site so that you can check them
from time to time when you wish. We may also make technical
or functional changes to the Service, changes to the format
or the style of the Service or changes to the amount or nature
of Information available through it. We will use reasonable
efforts to notify you in advance of such changes to the Service
unless they are minor in nature or unless such notice is not
possible because, for example, we are required to make the
changes by law, a regulator or a supplier.
5. Matters beyond Reuters control
You agree that the Reuters
Group is not liable for any failure to provide all or part
of the Service for any period of time because of matters beyond
its reasonable control. In particular, Reuters does not control
others' telecommunications networks, technology or the Internet
(which is publicly accessible and liable to delays and failures)
nor does it control the acts of some third parties. REUTERS
THEREFORE CANNOT GUARANTEE RECEIPT OF ALL THE INFORMATION
REQUESTED, NOR THE SPEED OF DELIVERY OR TIMING OF RECEIPT
OF IT. AT THE TIME OF RECEIPT BY YOU, INFORMATION MAY BE OUT
OF DATE.

AS
IS PERMITTED BY LAW, WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS
CONCERNING THE SERVICE AND NEITHER WE NOR OUR DATA OR SOFTWARE
PROVIDERS SHALL BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES,
COSTS, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE CONNECTED

TO YOU FOR YOUR REFERENCE AND CONVENIENCE ONLY, AND THEIR
INCLUSION BY US IN THE SERVICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN AUTHORISATION
BY US TO ACCESS, OR AN ENDORSEMENT BY US OF, ANY SUCH MATERIAL
NOR AN ENDORSEMENT BY US OF ANY SUCH PROMOTIONS. NEITHER OF
US IS LIABLE UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR OTHERWISE
FOR ANY INDIRECT LOSSES OR DAMAGE OR FOR LOSSES WHICH ARE
NOT TYPICALLY FORSEEABLE WHICH WE, YOU OR OTHERS SUFFER IN
RELATION TO THE SERVICE, SUCH AS LOSS OF PROFIT OR TRADING
LOSSES. THIS EXCLUSION SHALL ALSO APPLY (IF REUTERS AGREES)
TO THE BENEFITOF OTHERS INVOLVED IN THE SUPPLY OF THE SERVICE,
SUCH AS SUPPLIERS OF INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE CONTAINED IN
THE SERVICE;
You will compensate the Reuters Group for all claims, costs,
damages and losses (including reasonable legal fees) arising
out of your use of the Service in breach of any laws or these
Terms and Conditions or out of any other misuse by you of
the Service.
7. Data Protection/Privacy
You agree that:
i. the Reuters Group may use, in accordance with the Privacy
Notice displayed on the Web Site, any personal data of yours
that you supply to us when you register to use certain parts

individual, you may
only use that personal data for those purposes to which that
individual has
previously consented.
8. Suspension of the Service
Reuters may suspend or limit
access to the Service or part of it without penalty,
if and for so long as any of the following apply:
i. you are in breach of these Terms and Conditions, for example
you are misusing the Information or Software;
ii. this is necessary to carry out essential technical maintenance
in relation to the Service or the relevant network or to protect
networks and/or other users from interference, loss or damage.
We will seek to keep such interruptions to a minimum and will
give you as much advance notice as is practicable;
iii. the law, a supplier or a regulator requires this, or
we reasonably believe they
might require this, for example because certain Information
may be in use in breach of copyright law or may be defamatory
or misleading. As far as is practicable, we will tell you
why we have suspended the Service in each case.
9. Cancelling the Service
At any time, and in our sole
discretion, we may cancel, temporarily or permanently, your
password (if provided) and/or your use of all or part of the
Service as follows:
i. for any reason (including if we decide to discontinue all
or part of the Service) by giving you at least 7 days' notice;
ii. immediately if we believe you have breached these Terms
and Conditions in a
serious way and, if you are able, do not correct that breach
within 24 hours of us asking you to, or if we are unable to
provide the Service to you due to causes beyond our control;
You also agree that we will not be liable to you or any other
person for any cancellation of your access to the Service.

Privacy / Data protection
policy
General
Reuters and its affiliates ("the Reuters Group")
respect your privacy and seek to protect your personal data.
We hope that the following information will show you how we
gather, use and protect your personal data. More details about
the way we use data in a particular Reuters Group service
may be found in a notice which is provided to you as part
of that service or by contacting the web address below. We
aim to ensure that the processing of personal data by or on
behalf of the Reuters Group is fair and reasonable and that
your personal data is secure, accurate and up to date. Generally
speaking, this means that each time we want to collect personal
data we must tell you the purposes for which we use the data
and then ask for your consent to that usage. We only use your
data for the purposes for which you consent. We also tell
you if we transfer your data to anyone else. Because Reuters
services and the Reuters Group are international, personal
data may be made available internationally, including in countries
which do not have data protection laws or laws which provide
equivalent protection to the European rules. We seek to require
those to whom we transfer your data to protect it and your
privacy. This way Reuters works to protect personal data transferred
to countries which do not have data protection laws, including
data transfer outside the European Union.
Information Reuters collects
and why
The Reuters Group collects information about our users, suppliers
and other
individuals it deals with in its day to day business. This
information includes contact, registration and payment details,
information about the way registered users use our services
as well as details of individuals' interests. This information
is used for administration, to support, improve and obtain
feedback on Reuters Group services and to prevent and detect
breaches of Reuters network security, the law or our contract
terms.
We may also in the future, for the same purposes, update this
information and
collect similar information from any direct contact we have
with individuals and automatically via individuals' use of
Reuters Group services. Where allowed by law Reuters may collate
information we obtain directly from individuals with information
we receive about them from others. All the information described
above may be retained and used by the Reuters Group after
an individual ceases to use Reuters Group services or otherwise
ceases dealing with.
The Reuters Group will also use all this information to assess
what Reuters Group services may be of interest to individuals
and to personalise the
service we provide.
If you have registered to use one of our services, Reuters
may contact you to
obtain feedback on that service and any improvements we could
make to it.
Before you register you can browse our web sites anonymously.
Further information / marketing
If you agree, the Reuters Group may contact you from time
to time by mail, fax,
email and (in certain limited circumstances) by telephone
about those of its services it believes may interest you and,
in some circumstances, to invite you to client entertainment
or similar events. You have a right to ask us at any time
not to contact you by way of direct marketing and the law
often allows you to write and ask to see and correct the information
held about you, sometimes on payment of a fee.
Transfer of data to third
parties
Except where the law permits or unless you agree, the Reuters
Group does not
sell or rent your personal data to others outside the Reuters
Group. In some
instances, we may pass information to third parties involved
in the relevant
Reuters service (such as stock exchanges, which supply data
to us). You will generally know if such a transfer of your
information happens, except if the third parties are simply
working on our behalf as administrators (such as companies
that process credit card payments) or if the data is required
to be disclosed by law or to a regulator.
If we sell a business division to another company and your
personal data is used by that business then your data may
be transferred to the buyer along with the business for them
to use in the same way.
Material you post on interactive forums or chatrooms will
be available to others
using or considering using
the Service.
If your employer subscribed for the service on your behalf,
then we may pass
certain information to your employer about your use of the
service where your employer has a legitimate reason to receive
it.
Credit checks
If you are an individual user contracting in your own name
for a fee-paying
service, Reuters may in some instances for some fee paying
products carry
out credit checks on you with credit reference agencies or
we may follow up
references. The fact that Reuters has carried out such a credit
check, and in some instances the nature or results of the
credit check, will appear on the agency's register. In many
countries you can obtain a copy of your register entry by
writing to the relevant credit reference agency, sometimes
on
payment of a fee.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a piece of software, which may be
sent to your computer. Cookies
enable us to collect information about how our websites and
services are being
used and to manage them efficiently. If we send a cookie to
your computer, it
will not collect information
specifically about you unless we have told you what
personal information we are collecting and obtained your consent
to do so.
Until then, the cookie will only track general usage patterns
and will not be
used to identify you individually.
Calls to Help Desks
Calls to Reuters Group telephone help desks may be recorded
for quality control, regulatory and monitoring purposes.
Questions
If you have any questions about Reuters privacy/data protection
policy, you
should contact webmaster@reuters.com.
