Confirmation in relation to Services not yet performed by SAE. SAE will give the Customer written notice of any such increase 30 days before the proposed date of the increase.

Customer’s responsibility to check such surcharges prior to ordering any Services.
7.7 SAE shall be entitled to charge the Customer for any expenses reasonably incurred by the
individuals whom SAE engages in connection with the Services including, but not limited to, travelling expenses, hotel costs, subsistence and any associated expenses, and for the cost of services provided by third parties and required by SAE for the performance of the Services, and for the cost of any materials.
7.8 In the event that SAE incurs increases in operating costs as a result of expenses incurred during transit, including as a result of:
(a) legislation that may be in place in a particular country through which transit or collection/ delivery takes place, or changes or revisions to legislation in such countries; or
(b) (b) the introduction or variation of taxes that affect the transit;
SAE will be entitled to invite the Customer to agree new rates, and if an agreement on new rates cannot be reached within 14 days of an invitation in writing to agree new rates, SAE will be entitled to terminate the Contract with the Customer immediately.
7.9 The Customer shall be liable to pay demurrage for unreasonable detention of any vehicle or other equipment of SAE at SAE’s current rates of demurrage but the rights of SAE against any other person on respect thereof shall remain unaffected.

7.11 Any queries in respect of invoices should be brought to SAE’s attention within seven (7) days of the date of the invoice. Where any dispute arises as to the contents of any invoice, the parties shall enter into good faith discussions to resolve such dispute but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Customer shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay the disputed invoice in full and on time.
7.12 Without prejudice to any other right or remedy that SAE may have, if the Customer becomes insolvent or fails to pay SAE any amount due under this Contract on the due date, SAE may:
(a) Charge interest on any overdue sums from the due date for payment at the annual rate of 4%
above the base lending rate from time to time of the Bank of England, accruing on a daily basis and being compounded quarterly until payment is made, whether before or after any judgment and the Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount immediately on demand; and
(b) Suspend all Services until payment has been made in full (which for the avoidance of doubt,
in the case of Services which include storage of the Customer’s goods, entitles SAE to refuse the
Customer access to its Goods whilst stored on SAE’s premises); and

all sums due to SAE shall immediately become due and owing.
7.13 Time for payment by the Customer shall be of the essence of the Contract.

interest in delivery in the event of physical loss, mis-delivery or damage or of an agreed time limit

(b) Ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures, reviewed
and approved by the Customer, to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal
data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, appropriate to the
harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of
technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting personal data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to personal data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and
evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it);
(c) Ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process personal data are obliged to keep the personal data confidential; and

consent of the Customer has been obtained and the following conditions are fulfilled:
(i) The Customer or SAE has provided appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer;
(ii) The data subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies;
(iii) SAE complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation by providing an adequate level of protection to any personal data that is transferred; and
(iv) SAE complies with reasonable instructions notified to it in advance by the Customer with respect to the processing of the personal data;

(g) At the written direction of the Customer, delete or return personal data and copies thereof to the Customer on termination of the agreement unless required by Applicable Law to store the personal data;
and
(h) Maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this Clause 11 and immediately inform the Customer if, in the opinion of SAE, an instruction infringes the Data Protection Legislation.
11.5 Either party may, at any time on not less than 30 days’ notice, revise this Clause 11 by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms forming part of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to the Contract).
11.6 Any data obtained by SAE is used purely for contractual and or operational reasons. Please refer to our Data Privacy Statement which can be viewed on our website at www.saelogistics.com/privacy-statement.
