Without affecting the general position set out above, you will, in relation to any Personal Data processed in connection with the performance by you of your obligations under this Agreement:

We will notify you in writing as soon as possible after becoming aware of the claim. This clause will survive termination or expiry of these Conditions however they come to an end.
27. Marketing and campaigns
We may run promotions on the Site from time to time, in addition to any promotions you run in your Storefront. These promotions may include free delivery, discounts, or other promotional activities for some or all products on the Site. We will inform you of the nature and terms of any promotion, and you can choose whether or not to participate if you are required to bear the costs.
You need to cooperate with all the activities we undertake to promote, sell or market your products, whether directly through the Site, offline publications produced by us, or other websites or publications not produced, owned or operated by us.
We may provide other opportunities for you to market or distribute your products, such as through pop-up stores or specific marketing campaigns. We will give you more information about these opportunities when they arise, and the terms and conditions for each campaign will be shared with any participating Vendor.
28. Charges
You are responsible for paying all charges as notified to you by us in accordance with the agreement. Charges are subject to taxes and levies, which you will also be responsible for paying. If you do not pay any amount due to us by the due date, all sums owing to us will become due immediately. We may suspend our performance of obligations under the agreement until satisfactory payment arrangements are made. We may also charge you the cost of obtaining payment or judgment, including legal fees. If you have multiple Storefronts with us, we may offset the sums you owe us against payments due to you.
29. Charges explained
The Charges comprise, as relevant and applicable:
• The Subscription Fee;
• The Commission Fee;
• Transaction Fee
The Subscription fee:
We reserve the right to charge you a monthly or annual Subscription Fee inferior, equal or superior to the value stated upon signing up to use our services, depending on your current subscription plan. If we make any amendments to the cost of your subscription plan, we will give you a 30-day notice prior to implementing it. You can choose to close your account and terminate our agreement during this time if you wish to do so.
The Commission fee:
We reserve the right to charge you a Commission Fee equal or superior to the value stated upon signing up to use our services and every time you sell a product (on Commission Based plans). You will be able to see the cost of this fee, on a per product basis, upon creation of a new product on your storefront. This fee currently stands at 18%. If we make any amendments to the fee percentage, we will give you a 30-day notice prior to implementing it. You can choose to close your account and terminate our agreement during this time or to move to a subscription plan.
The Transaction fee:
We use Stripe as our payments processor. Stripe charges a 1.4% fee plus £0.20 on every transaction. This fee will be charged from the total price of your product, every time you sell a product. This fee is charged on all subscription plans.
30. How we pay you
As part of your appointing us as your commercial agent (as set out in Clause 6.A of these Conditions), you agree that we also act as your exclusive agent for the purpose of accepting, refunding and/or otherwise processing payment(s) related to the sale of Product(s) by you via the Site (or any other sales channel which we may offer to you from time to time).
Both you and we acknowledge and agree that except as otherwise provided in these Conditions (and in acknowledgement that both parties are businesses), that the duties of an agent implied under the common law are expressly excluded. For the avoidance of doubt, we, acting as your commercial agent, are neither the buyer nor the Vendor of the Product(s) and are not a party to the contract of sale of Product(s) between you and the Customer.
Payment for Product(s) by Customers through the Site will be through payment methods made available from time to time, using our current online payment processing system (Stripe).
You can opt between two payment models:
Bank Transfer:
• If you opt to be paid via bank transfer please provide your bank account details under your bakery manager > Settings > Payment tab.
• Due Payments via Bank Transfer will be made every 1st and every 15th of each calendar month. In order to make payments cleared and available to you, you, the Vendor, will have to fulfil pending order and mark them as delivered.
Stripe Connect:
• You can opt to create a Stripe Account and connect it to your storefront. You can do this under your bakery manager > Settings > Payment tab.
• Payments made this way will automatically be credited in your Stripe Account upon sale of one or more of your products. You are still obliged to fulfil your order and to treat your customer(s) with fairness as per your own terms & conditions, stated on your storefront.
From time to time we may retain a portion of the payment due to you in order to provide for refunds due or expected to be due to a Customer in the ensuing period. If refunds exceed your sales in a particular period, any future payments will be used to clear your negative balance and the difference leftover will be paid when the next payment is due.
You agree to ensure the banking details on your account are kept up-to-date, and you agree to notify us of any changes on the next Working Day. You agree to be responsible for paying any banking charges or other administrative expenses incurred by us as a result of any inaccuracies in any such information.
