1.6     Customer Data
a. Atarix may need to disclose or transfer Customer data to Microsoft pursuant to the provision of the Microsoft Online Services and the Customer agrees that Microsoft’s use of any such data is governed under the Microsoft Agreement and not the Agreement.

b. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Microsoft may store, transfer and process any Customer data referred to in (a) above in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which Microsoft or its Affiliates or its or their contractors maintain facilities and such processing shall be governed by the Microsoft Agreement.

1.9     Fees
a. Where Atarix incurs additional or increased third party costs directly relating to the procurement and/or provision of Microsoft Online Services, Atarix shall be entitled to increase its Fees in proportion to such additional or increased costs.

1.11  Change, Suspension or Termination and Consequences
a. Microsoft may (without liability to the Customer) change the subscription SKUs available, description, features and/or functionality of the Microsoft Online Services and Microsoft may suspend, cancel or reject the renewal of, the provision of Microsoft Online Services to the Customer including as set out in the Microsoft Agreement.
b. Atarix may (without liability to the Customer) suspend, cancel or reject the renewal of, the provision of Microsoft Online Services to the Customer if:
(i) the Customer or Microsoft terminates the Microsoft Agreement;
(ii) Atarix is not authorised to resell the Microsoft Online Services; and
(iii) as otherwise set out in the General Terms.
c. If there is any such change, cancellation or suspension as referred to in (a) or (b) above:
(i) this will not affect Atarix’s right to invoice the Customer (and the Customer’s obligation to pay) for orders where Atarix continues to incur third party costs in respect of the Microsoft Online Services; and
(ii) the Customer will not have any claim against Microsoft, any third-party cloud solution provider or Atarix under the Agreement.
d. If a Customer wishes to terminate Microsoft Online Services during the Initial Term or a Renewal Period, the Customer shall pay the Fees for the remainder of the Term.
e. Termination of Support Services in respect of Microsoft Online Services shall automatically terminate the Customer’s subscription to such services.
f. In the event of service suspension all Customer data will be deleted by or on behalf of Microsoft at any time on or after 90 days (unless the Services are re-activated within that period).
g. Following termination,
(i) if the Customer is taking Microsoft Online Services through another provider it is the Customer’s responsibility to manage the transition of the Microsoft Online Services to its new provider; and
(ii) if the Customer is no longer using Microsoft Online Services in any manner, its data will remain within the Microsoft infrastructure for up to 90 days (but will not be accessible in this time unless the Microsoft Online Services have been procured through another provider) and then will no longer be available. Accordingly, if a Customer is not planning to procure the same Microsoft Online Services through another partner within 90 days of the termination or expiry date, then it must ensure that Customer data migration has been completed before expiry or termination.
