SCHEDULE 15
MICROSOFT AZURE TERMS SCHEDULE
The terms of this Schedule apply only in respect of the Microsoft Azure Services and their use by Fujitsu
Services in providing the Operational Services.
1. Post Office accepts that the provision of the Microsoft Azure Services is subject to the Post Office
accepting and agreeing to the Customer Agreement which is a binding legal contract between Post
Office and Microsoft (or its Affiliate). The Customer Agreement includes the Online Services Terms
(as defined therein) and the SLA (as defined therein).
2. Post Office confirms and agrees that:
a. by the date of commencement of Operational Services using the Microsoft Azure Services, it
will have made all notifications to and/or secured all consents of third parties required (i) for
Fujitsu Services to be authorised to disclose Post Office Data to Microsoft and (ii) for Fujitsu
Services to process such Post Office Data, in each case solely to the extent: (a) required by
applicable privacy and data protection laws; and (b) necessary for the purposes of making use
of the Microsoft Azure Services to provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement;
b. it consents to Fujitsu Services performing the activities of Reseller set out or referred to in
Clause 4 of the Customer Agreement; and
c. Microsoft may send direct communications to Post Office related to the terms of the Customer
Agreement or the operation or delivery of the Microsoft Azure Services.
3. Fujitsu Services shall have no liability to Post Office to provide the Operational Services using the
Microsoft Azure Services to the extent that it is unable to do so as a direct result of the failure by
Post Office to comply with paragraph 2.a. of this Schedule, provided that Fujitsu Services has taken
all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of such failure.
4. Fujitsu Services shall have no liability to Post Office for any interruptions or failures of the Microsoft
Azure Services (and any associated interruptions or failures of the Operational Services provided
by Fujitsu Services under the Agreement) resulting from Microsoft exercising its right to terminate
or suspend the Microsoft Azure Services pursuant to and in accordance with the Customer
Agreement (other than where such right to terminate or suspend arises due to the acts or omissions
of Fujitsu Services), provided always that Fujitsu Services has taken all commercially reasonable
steps to mitigate such interruptions or failures.
5. Fujitsu Services shall have no liability to Post Office for any interruptions or failures of the
Operational Services provided by Fujitsu Services under the Agreement, resulting from: (a)
Microsoft materially altering the Microsoft Azure Services which in turn requires material changes
to Fujitsu Services’ configuration of the Microsoft Azure Services used in the provision of the
Operational Services; or (b) Microsoft exercising any of its rights under the Customer Agreement
which would result in Fujitsu Services being unable, or in breach of the terms of this Agreement
were it to continue, to provide the Operational Services, provided always that in each case Fujitsu
Services has taken all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate such interruptions or failures.
6. Post Office agrees and understands:
a. that in the event that any one or more of the Microsoft Availability Zones are wholly unavailable,
there may be limited Microsoft Azure Services capacity within the remaining Microsoft
Availability Zones and there could be some resulting degradation of the Operational Services;
and
b. that should any such degradation of the Operational Services occur, then Fujitsu Services shall
have no liability to Post Office for such degradation, provided always that Fujitsu Services has
taken all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate such degradation.

7. Save in the circumstances described in paragraphs 3 to 6 above or in Clause 43.10.9, Fujitsu
Services shall not be relieved of liability for any failure to provide the Services in accordance with
this Agreement caused by any unavailability, interruption or failure of the Microsoft Azure Services.
8. Software Licences: Post Office accepts that any obligations of Fujitsu Services within the
Agreement relating to the grant or procurement of a licence of third party software shall not (save
to the extent otherwise agreed in writing between Post Office and Fujitsu Services) apply to any
software made available by Microsoft as part of the Microsoft Azure Services pursuant to the
Customer Agreement.
9. No Post Office Access
a.
The parties agree that Post Office shall be provided with read-only access for five named Post
Office employees or named representatives (such named employees or representatives shall
be as specified in writing by Post Office to Fujitsu Services from time to time and such
instruction promptly acted on by Fujitsu Services) only through the Microsoft provided Azure
Portal to the Azure Subscriptions that are used to deliver the Horizon Application for the period
ending 31st May 2021 but shall not otherwise (save to the extent otherwise agreed via the
Change Control Procedure between Post Office and Fujitsu Services) have the right to directly
access the technology environment operated by Microsoft for the purpose of providing the
Microsoft Azure Services and will not be provided with any administration rights to do so.
Should Post Office request any such direct access above that detailed herein, Fujitsu Services
shall deny such request and escalate the same to the Post Office's Group ClO.
Fujitsu Services shall not be liable for any failure to provide the Operational Services in
accordance with this Agreement to the extent that such failure is caused by Post Office directly
accessing the above-referred technology environment in breach of paragraph 7a above, and
Fujitsu Services shall have the right to claim any reasonable and demonstrable incremental
costs incurred by it in taking any action necessary to remediate any damage or impact to the
Operational Services caused by such breach.
