Common use of Technology failures Clause in Contracts

Technology failures. The success of e-ScienceTalk will depend in part on the new technologies used to deliver the online content, both the existing elements and the planned new features, such as increased user generated content and interactive online environments. If the wrong technologies are chosen, or advances in web use make these obsolete, there is a risk that the expected growth of the media outputs and the launch of the new products will not be achieved. This risk will be mitigated by using the partners’ expertise in new media and regularly reviewing the channels used. The probability of such failure is low (about 10%), given the expertise and experience available to the project. The impact of such technological failure should also be minimal, since the core communication efforts rely on more established technologies.
