7.9 Where the Customer migrates to another provider, autoMEE shall provide reasonable assistance, act with due care to maintain business continuity, provide clear information about known continuity risks on the part of the outgoing provider, and maintain a high level of security throughout the migration process, in each case to the extent reasonably practicable and subject to the Customer paying applicable fees.

By ordering or using the Services, the Customer represents and warrants that autoMEE’s access to and processing of Customer Data for the purposes of providing the Services do not infringe applicable law or the rights of any third party.
