4 CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS
4.1 To enable the Supplier to perform its obligations under this Agreement the Customer shall:
4.1.1 Co-operate with the Supplier;
4.1.2 Provide the Supplier with any information reasonably required by the Supplier;
4.1.3 Obtain all necessary permissions and consents which may be required before the
commencement of the services; and

otherwise agreed between the parties.
4.2 The Customer shall be liable to compensate the Supplier for any expenses incurred by the
Supplier as a result of the Customer’s failure to comply with Clause 4.1.

Customer shall be required to pay to the Supplier as agreed damages and not as a penalty the full
amount of any third party costs to which the Supplier has committed and in respect of cancellations
on less than five working days’ written notice the full amount of the services contracted for as set out
in the Service Specification, and the Customer agrees this is a genuine pre-estimate of the Supplier’s
losses in such a case. For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer’s failure to comply with any
obligations under Clause 4.1 shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the services and subject to the
payment of the damages set out in this Clause. 4.4. In the event that the Customer or any third party,
