Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice if the other party materially breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of the breach.
Immediate termination of this Agreement is permissible by Isometric through written notice if we become insolvent, file for bankruptcy, enter into an arrangement with our creditors, or undergo the appointment of a receiver or administrator over our assets.
Following termination of this Agreement, the User is required to cease all use of the Platform Information and, as directed by Isometric, return or destroy all materials embodying the Platform Information.
Specific provisions, including those pertaining to intellectual property rights, and indemnification, will persist beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement, as their nature necessitates continued effectiveness.

Both parties agree to comply with all applicable data protection laws in the processing of any personal data under this Agreement. “Personal data” shall be understood as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and any other relevant data protection legislation.
The User agrees that any personal data accessed or processed through the Isometric Platform will be used solely in accordance with the purposes outlined in this Agreement and in line with Isometric’s Privacy Policy.
Isometric will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Requests for information can be submitted to contact@isometric.com. Our standard process is to respond to all requests within 3-5 working days. Where such information is not subject to confidentiality or other restrictions, we will share this with the requester and, for full transparency, publish this information separately on our platform. Where the request will require a significant amount of work to prepare a response, we will inform the requester of an estimated timeline towards publication and clarify whether there is a subset of the information that can be more readily prepared and still meets the requirements of the requester.
This same process may also be used where a third party requests that Isometric reviews and/or updates one of its existing Protocols. In that case, Isometric will review the information provided by the requester to determine whether it may be an appropriate trigger for a Protocol review to take place. In this instance, a preliminary response will be provided within 3-5 working days, but generally, more time (approximately 30-60 days) may be required to determine whether a review is, in fact, required and for that confirmation to then be provided as well as further detail of the review.
Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure is due to a Force Majeure event.
For purposes of this Agreement, a “Force Majeure” event means an event beyond the control of a party, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
The affected party will notify the other party of such Force Majeure event and shall use its best efforts to resume performance as soon as possible.
This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written.
For questions or notifications under this Agreement, please contact compliance@isometric.com.
