Iress, in its sole discretion, may alter this format (for example, by adding, updating or removing data fields) in response to changes made by a Third Party Service Provider or otherwise to improve the Feed Product, and, where possible Iress shall provide the Customer with prior notice of any changes.
5. External dissemination or redistribution of the Feed Products by the Customer to third parties, including but not limited to (i) members of the Customer’s Group that are not approved in a Service Order, and / or (ii) an External User that is not specifically referred to in a Service Order, will require specific prior authorisation and new contractual terms from the Third Party Service Provider (Re-Distributor Contracts) and Iress.
6. The Customer acknowledges that Iress has no control over or responsibility for the scope, timing, content, method of delivery or any other aspect of any Third Party Service provided by a Third Party Service Provider and that Third Party Service Providers may, at any time and without prior notice, amend or limit the scope, timing, content and method of delivery of such Third Party Service.
7. In the event that the Customer breaches any Third Party Terms, Iress may, without liability, immediately suspend or permanently discontinue providing the Customer with Third Party Service(s) from such Third Party Service Provider.
8. 8. Third Party Fees associated with the Feed Products that are reported on behalf of the Customer are calculated based on the Customer’s reporting and the fee schedules of the Third Party Service Provider (which may be set out in a Service Order), and/or any other Third Party Fees identified in a Service Order. Third Party Fees associated with the Feed Products shall either be paid directly to the Third Party Service Provider by the Customer or by Iress on behalf of the Customer. If paid by Iress, Iress will invoice the Customer for the Third Party Fees associated with the Feed Products monthly in advance, or as otherwise stated in the relevant Service Order.
9. In some circumstances, the Customer may benefit from a waiver of, or exemption from, Third Party Fees associated with the Feed Products. The Customer shall direct the relevant Third Party Service Provider to provide Iress with written confirmation (which may be provided by email) of such waiver or exemption. In the absence of satisfactory evidence of a waiver or exemption, Iress shall apply standard Third Party Fees associated with the Feed Products.
10. The Customer may be required to report its usage of the Third Party Service directly to certain Third Party Service Providers. The Customer shall maintain complete and accurate records of its use of the Feed Products (including all display or non-display use) including, where required, such records as are necessary to establish the accuracy of the reports.
11. Mandatory Reporting: Certain Third Party Service Providers require Iress to report the Customer’s Third Party Service usage associated with the Feed Products. In order for Iress to report such Third Party Service usage, the Customer must submit to Iress quarterly (or such other frequency required by the relevant Third Party Service Provider) reports (a “Usage Report”), either using its own reporting tool or through a reporting tool provided by Iress (the Feed Product Reporting Tool). Where required quarterly, the Customer shall submit the Usage Report within the first month of each calendar quarter (being January, April, July and October) and shall cover usage by the Customer for that quarter. The report must comply with requirements of the Third Party Service Provider and include the exact scope of usage of the Third Party Service and, where required, the number of devices (depending on the Third Party Service Provider’s rules, this could be the number of displays, user IDs, machines, number of algorithms, etc.) that access the relevant Third Party Service. The Customer agrees that it shall use the Feed Product Reporting Tool solely for reporting purposes. Iress agrees to provide Customer, upon request, reasonable assistance with the Feed Product Reporting Tool.
    (a) Upon a Third Party Service Provider’s request, Iress may be required to identify all customers who have been supplied with the Third Party Service according to the Third Party Service Provider’s classifications as customers of “Real-Time Data‟, “Delayed Data‟, “End of Day Data‟, “Historical Data” or any other classification, and the Customer authorizes Iress to supply such information to a Third Party Service Provider.
    (b) Should the Customer fail to report for a quarterly period, Iress shall determine the applicable Third Party Fees based on the previous quarterly reporting period, plus such additional amount that Quanthouse in its sole discretion considers reasonable. Invoices based on Iress’ determination may not be contested by the Customer (unless the Customer is able to provide an appropriate report or documentary evidencing its actual usage within 10 Business Days of the date of the invoice, in which case, Iress may issue a revised invoice), and must be paid by the Customer in accordance with the invoice and the Agreement. However, any proven under or over invoicing will be applied (and corrected) by Iress in the next quarterly reporting period.
    (c) In the event that the Customer incorrectly reports its usage of a Third Party Service and as a result of such incorrect reporting, Iress is issued with a fine or other penalty by the Third Party Service Provider, Iress may include the amount of such fine or other penalty in the Customer’s invoice for the next quarterly reporting period, and the Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is liable to pay such amount to Iress.
    
12. Feed Product Reporting Tool: Iress will provide the Customer with the Feed Product Reporting Tool (being the tool made available to the Customer via the following website https://quad.quanthouse.com//) to enable the Customer to fulfill its mandatory reporting requirements hereunder. The Feed Product Reporting Tool is provided on an as-is basis at no charge to the Customer. The Customer acknowledges that it will use the Feed Product Reporting Tool at its own risk and that the Feed Product Reporting Tool comes with no warranties, express or implied. The Customer is solely responsible for any errors, discrepancies or mismanagement of reports generated by the Feed Product Reporting Tool. Iress reserves the right to modify the format of the Feed Product Reporting Tool any time at its sole discretion.
13. The Customer is authorised to access a Third Party Service for up to the number of instruments included in the pack of instruments subscribed to, as set forth in a Service Order (where applicable) (Instrument Cap). For the purposes of these Supplemental Terms, an “instrument” shall mean any financial instrument that has a unique Third Party Service Provider code. By way of example, a single security traded and quoted on two different Third Party Service Providers that have been subscribed for by the Customer will be counted as two (2) instruments. Iress has the ability and right to monitor the Customer’s Third Party Service usage to ensure that such use has not exceeded the Instrument Cap. In the event that the Customer exceeds the Instrument Cap, Iress may (without prejudice to any other available legal or equitable remedies), charge the Customer additional fees for such use and / or modify the annual fees upon automatic extension of the term then in effect.
