10.2. The User is required to pay the Supplier the fee indicated in the written quote for the use of FireServiceRota.co.uk. The User will be invoiced per year at the start of the calendar year or at the start of the contract for the remainder of the calendar year.

The User is also required to pay interest over the collection costs.

11.2. The Supplier will never be liable for any damage as a result of the death or injury of the User and/or third parties. 
11.3. The User hereby indemnifies the Supplier against any claims lodged by third parties on any grounds whatsoever in connection with the compensation of damage, costs or interest connected with the present Agreement and/or FireServiceRota.co.uk, unless the facts on which a claim is based are directly and reasonable attributable to the Supplier.
