“Barbuck Customer Interface”
Where agreed, Barbuck shall make the Barbuck Customer Interface available to the Client which shall be used in the provision of the Services to the Client by Barbuck.
Barbuck shall request the services of its Associated Providers as required in order to enable Barbuck to provide the Services.

The Client is responsible for the security and safety of any user identification and password supplied to it by Barbuck, and the Client shall be responsible for all use made of the same. If the Client believes that there has been any unauthorised use of its user identification or password, it must notify Barbuck immediately. If Barbuck reasonably believes that the Client’s user identification and password are being used by an unauthorised user or in a manner breaching these Conditions, Barbuck reserves the right to suspend the Client’s access to Reports and the provision of the Services until the matter is resolved to Barbuck’ reasonable satisfaction.
Barbuck may alter any Access Number allocated to the Client and / or how the Barbuck Customer Interface is integrated into the Client’s System(s) immediately in order to comply with any applicable numbering plan or to avoid a breach of licence, law, applicable regulation or order of a competent authority or for any other reason that Barbuck deems necessary in its sole discretion.
Barbuck shall have no liability in respect of: the acts or omissions of an Associated Provider or for the effects of such acts or omissions on the Services; any part of the Telecoms infrastructure not directly controlled by Barbuck; hosting of servers, or telecoms equipment; interconnects; incorrect or incomplete implementation of number ranges by external Telecom Providers (DMA issues); website or phone call abnormal load increases without prior express agreement; misuse of data provided by Barbuck to the Client; any impact to the Client as a result of Barbuck validly exercising any right to withdraw or alter services under the Agreement.

Reports: Any Report constitutes general guidance only and the Client remains wholly responsible for any reliance it places on a Report. Any decisions the Client makes having received any of the Services are its own and the Client will remain wholly responsible for any decisions and actions it takes.
The Client acknowledges that, from time to time, delivery of the Services may be delayed due to scheduled or unscheduled maintenance or other factors which may arise and Barbuck shall not be in breach of any Clause of the Agreement.

Dynamic Number Services, under Barbuck’ control, come with no NRA guarantee or protection as to withdrawal of specific numbers or ranges, changes to the actual and amount of numbers in use, compliance with any regulatory requirements, ineffective/ inefficient use and any unexpected severe load increases not previously agreed with the Client. At Barbuck’ discretion, it will use proportionate endeavours to make number porting available with respect to Dynamic Number Services where possible.
