These Terms, together with the order confirmation executed between the parties (if

(including all persons authorised by the Customer, each referred to as a “User”) of
the Services, Website and the Application.
You must, on behalf of the Customer, read, agree with, and accept all of the terms
and conditions contained or expressly referenced in these Terms before you, or any

the Third-Party Services access to the Data as required for the interoperation of
that Third-Party Service with the Application, which may include making changes or
additions to the Data. Customer acknowledges that Ledgy is not responsible for any
