Sample SubmissionIn order to ensure the best possible service may we request that, when submitting samples to the laboratory for analysis, the following advice is followed:

• Pleasefillinallapplicablefieldsonsubmissionform e.g. Animal I.D Number, to enable results to attach to your PMS.• Please write clearly. It is important that we can read names in order to relate current to previous submission.• Ensure that names and dates are entered on all specimen containers.• Ensure that the relevant site information is on all specimens where site location would affect interpretation or potential treatment.• Ensure that method of urine collection is noted.• Ensure that practice details are entered on the submission forms.• Check that lids are secure on tubes and that slides are sent in slide holders.• Use our compliant P650 FOC packaging or, ensure thatabsorbentmaterialissufficientforpotentialspillof volume of sample being sent.• If posting refer to our packing instructions before dispatch (available from Diagnostic Support on Tel: 01626 355655).

Please telephone for advice if unsure about requirements.

THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE NOTED: • Please alert us to submissions that you think might be high-risk for zoonotic transmission.• Please check that your sample tubes are in date.• Labelling specimens allows us to check details against the submission form.• PleaseuselabfilmNOTsellotapetowraptubelids.• Pleaseensureblood/fluidisdecantedintosample tubes, not sent in syringes with needles.• Please use the appropriate packaging materials, which will be provided FOC, as it is the sender’s responsibility to ensure that pathological specimens are sent in accordance with Royal Mail regulations.

Occasionally a sample is received which is unsuitable for the requested test; this may involve incorrect sample type or clotted, lipaemic or haemolysed samples.

ADDITIONAL REQUESTED TESTS Separated serum/plasma samples, EDTAs and microbiology samples are kept under controlled conditions for six days; thus ensuring any further investigation required can be actioned; simply contact our Diagnostic Support Officetodiscussyourrequirementson01626355655.

SUPPLIES Supplies are FOC (unless otherwise stated on the supplies form) on the basis that they are used for our own laboratory services. Delivery charge is £11.05.

Order online at: www.axiomvetlab.eu Alternatively, call our supplies line on 01626 357765 or fax 01626 357754

Sample Tube IdentificationPlease refer to our guide below as well as checking the sample requirements stated by the test in the price list. If you require any help please contact our Diagnostic Support team on 01626 355655

SERUM 1.3ml (white top) Allow the sample to clot, then centrifuge and separate serum from the clot and decant into a new plain tube prior to sending. RED CELLS are NOT needed for biochemical tests and presence may artefactually alter results.

GEL BARRIER 1.3ml (brown top) Allow the sample to clot, then centrifuge. The gel sits between the cells and serum protecting the serum from any haemolysis. The gel may interfere through possible absorption with the concentration of certain hormones. Some therapeutic drug concentrations are reduced when a sample is stored in a gel tube for greater than 2 hours.

EDTA 1.3ml (pink top) Mix by inversion before centrifuging to avoid clots For haematology EDTA is best for preservation of cell morphology. EDTA is the sample tube of choice for cytology (with a plain tube if culture is required). Please note: EDTA tube samples are not recommended for microbiology submissions as EDTA can inhibit bacterial growth.

LITHIUM HEPARIN 1.3ml (orange top) Mix by inversion before centrifuging to avoid clots Heparin is an anticoagulant which prevents clotting. RED CELLS are NOT needed for biochemical tests and presence may artefactually alter results. Whole heparin is the preferred sample for short samples, e.g. exotics and fractious cats, as it can be used for cell counts withafreshfilm.HeparinisnotasgoodasEDTAfor preservation of cell morphology.

SODIUM CITRATE 1.3ml (lilac top) Mix by inversion before centrifuging to avoid clots Used for coagulation testing. It is essential that thistubeiscorrectlyfilledastheanticoagulantto blood ratio is crucial. The sample may be centrifuged and separated citrated plasma placed in a plain tube. This must then be clearly stated on the form and tube. May also be used for D-Dimer. Separated and frozen citrated plasma must be used for vWF testing.

FLUORIDE OXALATE 1.3ml (yellow top) Mix by inversion before centrifuging to avoid clots A spun gel/separated serum sample is the preferred sample for glucose measurement. Spun gel/serum separation should be performed within half an hour of taking the sample. However if using Fluoride Oxalate the tube MUST be filled to the line.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Samples should be sent in appropriate packaging to ensure best quality of result and the wellbeing of those handling these packages. If you are unsure on how best to package your sample, please do not hesitate to contact the team. Please be aware that making inappropriately packaged samples safe to handle adds extra time and cost to the process and persistent receipt of such packages may incur a Safe Handling charge. We will always consult you in such instances.

THERAPEUTIC DRUG MONITORINGTHERAPEUTIC DRUG MONITORING (PHENOBARBITONE) Advisory Note: Some therapeutic drug concentrations are reduced when a sample is stored in a serum gel barrier tube for greater than 2 hours. Therefore we do not recommend serum gel barrier tubes for therapeutic drug monitoring. Please submit serum in a plain tube. Phenobarbitone: in dogs receiving less than 5mg/kg BID phenobarbitone, serum concentrations can be checked at any time in the dosing cycle as the change in phenobarbitone concentrations through a daily dosing interval is not therapeutically relevant once steady-state has been achieved.

Samples from at least two different sites are preferable as many drugs leave the blood relatively quickly. Samples may be frozen. Formalin fixed tissue or faeces is unsuitable. If insufficient sample is received, it may not be possible to complete all the requested tests and the sensitivity of toxin/drug detection could be reduced.

THYROID FUNCTION TESTING (CANINE) First line testing for the diagnosis of hypothyroidism in canines includes TT4 and cTSH measurement. In equivocal cases measurement of Free T4 and thyroglobulin antibodies may be beneficial. Standard Profile (TT4 and cTSH): • Serum separated from clotted blood sample. • Used to confirm hypothyroidism. For monitoring during thyroid hormone supplementation - recommended sampling time varies according to thyroxine preparation administered: • Soloxine®, Leventa®, Thyroxyl®: collect sample 4-6 hours post-pill. • Thyforon®: collect peak sample 3 hours post-pill. • Depending on details of individual cases, additional assessment of trough TT4 (immediately pre-pill) can be useful. Premium profile (TT4, cTSH & FT4d): • Serum separated from clotted blood sample. • Used to confirm hypothyroidism. • Free T4 is less affected by non-thyroidal illness and certain drug therapies than TT4. Comprehensive profile (TT4, cTSH, FT4d & TgAb): • Serum separated from clotted blood sample. • Used to confirm hypothyroidism. • The presence of TgAbs strongly suggests the presence of immune-mediated lymphocytic thyroiditis.

sTESTING FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE MAY BE DONE WHEN:

• Making a diagnosis in a clinically unwell animal • Screening for infection • Certifying an animal is ‘free’ from infection.

With all diagnostic tests, false negative (FN) and false positive (FP) results are possible. By choosing the best test to answer the question being asked, interpretation can be improved. This will be affected by many factors, including pre-test probability of infection vs. exposure (carrier status vs. disease), the presence of subclinical infection vs disease, sample type, sample handling, analytical and interpretive factors.

Broadly all tests will look for antibody, antigen or the organism being tested (DNA, RNA, virus isolation). Each test provides different information.

1. Antibody tests – a positive antibody test confirms previous exposure, carrier status or disease

This provides indirect evidence for the presence of an organism (or historical presence). They can be qualitative, semi quantitative or quantitative. Antibody titres, the type of immunoglobulins present and reviewing the results in conjunction with other tests, can be useful in determining the importance of a positive result. Examples of test type include:

• ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) • IFA/IFAT (Immunofluorescent Antibody (Test)) • VNT (Virus neutralisation Test)

• HAI (Haemagglutination Inhibition) • MAT (Modified Agglutination Test) • LA (Latex Agglutination)

2. Antigen Tests – a positive antigen test should confirm the organism is/was recently present

• ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) - Detects specific proteins in a sample using antibody directed against the protein to be measured.

3. Organism detection – a positive test should confirm the organism is present

• VI (Virus Isolation) - Demonstrates the virus in the specimen by culture. • PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) - Detects DNA or RNA (via reverse transcriptase-PCR) from the actual pathogen - Highly sensitive in the correct circumstances, however false negative results are possible if;

Small amounts of organism are present DNA/RNA is not present in the sample submitted (not always circulating in blood) Suboptimal sample handling, faecal samples & aged samples are subject to biologic degradation. Submit fresh, uncontaminated samples (avoid cat litter). There are inhibitors present that prevent DNA amplification.

DOGS & CATS PRESENTING WITH PYREXIA OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN (PUO)Some of the following tests may be appropriate; full haematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, urine and blood culture (perform before antimicrobial therapy and during fever). Travel history and the potential for exotic infectious diseases should be considered if the animal was imported or has travelled outside Great Britain (GB). As exotic infectious diseases have been reported in animals with no travel history, other groups at risk include; puppies/kittens born to bitches/queens with a travel history, animals that have lived in the south/south-east of England and those with direct/prolonged contact with imported animals. The following website http://www.cvbd.org has useful information on the prevalence of canine vector borne diseases. Other non-exotic infectious agents to consider include:

DOGS & CATS PRESENTING WITH RESPIRATORY SIGNS Choosing appropriate tests for animals with respiratory signs is dependant upon the location (URT or LRT) of those signs. For example FHV and C. felis would be considered in a cat with conjunctivitis, while in a coughing dog with signs of haemorrhage, A.vasorum or potentially Leptospirosis may be considered. A thorough history (inc. travel history) and physical examination is required. Primary bacterial pathology is uncommon in the URT (exception ocular), while viral pneumonia is rare in the lower respiratory tract. Extra-cardiac lower airway investigation should include fluid (BAL/TWW) cytology, routine culture and infectious disease screening.

URT VIRAL AND BACTERIAL DISEASE IN THE CAT URT disease can be per-acute, acute or chronic and can result from a combination of viral, bacterial (often secondary) and in rare cases fungal (Aspergillus/Cryptococcus) or parasitic causes. FHV-1 frequently causes corneal ulceration, conjunctivitis and severe destruction of the nasal turbinates (predisposing to secondary bacterial/fungal infection). Many exposed (FHV) cats become lifelong carriers. FCV can vary from subclinical or mild acute (lingual ulceration and acute respiratory signs) to per-acute systemic disease (frequently fatal) or chronic pathology (e.g. chronic stomatitis/gingivitis). C. felis most commonly affects young cats, resulting in unilateral or bilateral conjunctivitis and transient fever. Cytology (brush is preferable to flush techniques), bacterial culture and PCR or virus isolation may be required. PCR is highly sensitive, however positive results do not prove causation (can occur with low level shedders/viral latency/healthy animals) nor can they distinguish between wild-type virus and vaccinal virus (avoid testing recently vaccinated cats). However positive PCR results indicate exposure and in the presence of appropriate clinical signs and a low cycle threshold number, are strongly supportive of infection.

FELINE CORONAVIRUS (FCoV) FCoV is common and easily transmitted, >90% of positive cats are healthy and will not develop FIP. Combined host, environmental and viral factors result in FIP in 5-10% of cases. Fever, vague malaise, hyperbilirubinaemia and hyperglobulinaemia are common. Ascites, pleural and/or pericardial effusion, CNS disease, ocular involvement and synovitis are reported with wet form. Ocular/CNS disease and pyogranulomatous infiltration of LNs, organs, SI, ileocolic junction, cecum, colon are more common with dry form. Positive FCoV antibody does not prove FIP (most are healthy). Negative results are reported in some FIP cases (due to immunosuppression or antigen binding available antibody). Effusion analysis is preferred over serum. Consider FCoV antibody, DNA or antigen, haematology and biochemistry. Imaging, ocular examination and AGP-1 can also be helpful.

PANLEUKOPENIA (INFECTIOUS ENTERITIS/PARVOVIRUS) A single antibody test will not distinguish between previous exposure and active infection. If using this method, sample as soon as possible after onset of clinical signs and again in 2 weeks time to look for a rising titre. False positive faecal tests can occur for up to 2 weeks post modified live vaccination. Shedding is brief in infection, only for 24-48 hours post exposure and may have ceased by the time clinical signs are present.

RETROVIRAL DISEASE IN THE CAT Retroviral status should be assessed prior to vaccination. FIV/FeLV serology should be performed in blood donors, followed by proviral DNA, if FeLV serology is negative. Screening tests have very good sensitivity and specificity, however false negative (FN) and false positive (FP) results are possible. Second-line tests are always advisable, in particular if the result was unexpected. Recent FeLV vaccination can result in transient FP results. Kittens (< 6 months old) should not be FIV Ab tested, as FP results can occur due to maternal antibodies. FIV PCR of the queen and kittens is advised instead.

BABESIA Babesia is rare in the UK, it can be seen in imported animals. Thrombocytopenia and anaemia are the most common findings. PCR is the best method for testing as false negatives are more likely on blood smear exam, even from capillary blood. A screening PCR is done to detect all species. If positive, additional PCR testing is required to determine the species as different species have different treatment protocols and prognosis.

LEISHMANIA DIAGNOSIS Animals with clinical signs of disease and supportive findings on haematology, biochemistry (including SPE p17) and urinalysis (including assessment for proteinuria). Antibody testing is usually first line. If negative consider other diagnosis or if still highly suspicious suggest cytology or histopathology of affected tissue. For low antibody results, PCR testing and cytology/histopathology will help confirm the diagnosis.

MONITORING OF SICK TREATED DOGS SPE (EP p17) may start to improve after 1 month and may normalise in 2-3 months. Antibody testing 6 months after starting therapy and thereafter every 6-12 months. PCR is optional at the same time as serology. Haematology, biochemistry (+/-SPE), urinalysis: After 1st month treatment and every 3-4 months during the first year.

MANAGEMENT OF WELL DOGS Antibody positive dogs (low positive) or antibody negative PCR positive dogs: routine lab tests and antibody testing every 3-6 months.

Infectious Diseases




LEPTOSPIROSIS IN THE DOG (& CAT) Leptospirosis can involve a number of organs, including GI signs (most common), hepatic, renal and pulmonary. Prompt diagnosis is essential, mortality rate is 11- 48% and it is zoonotic. False positive MAT and IgG serology are noted post vaccination (up to 6 months). PCR results are unaffected. PCR blood and urine should be collected before antibiotic therapy. Urine samples must be fresh to avoid false negative results. Lab samples submitted should be labelled “zoonotic”. In confirmed cases, in-contact dogs should also be treated. Cats can shed leptospira and may act as reservoir hosts. It is unclear whether cats can become infected, however PCR on blood and urine is reasonable in any cat with compatible but unexplained clinical signs.

LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT BACTERIAL, VIRAL AND PARASITIC DISEASE IN THE DOG AND CAT Lower respiratory tract infection may be the result of bacterial, viral, parasitic and in rare cases fungal pathology, many of which are species specific. Samples acquired from the lower airways should always be complimented with fluid for cytology (BAL cytology Code WASME). Take care to avoid contamination from the URT; pathogens such as Mycoplasma spp. are URT commensals but pathogens in the LRT. Viral pneumonias are rare, however some pathogens (e.g. FHV) have been implicated.

PULMONARY PARASITOLOGY OF THE DOG AND CAT Angiostrongylus vasorum is a common canine parasite in the UK and should be considered in all cardiorespiratory, neurological and coagulopathic presentations, for which the cause is unclear. Geographical location alone should not prevent consideration as the pathogen has been reported throughout GB, albeit more commonly in the southern half of England and east coast of Ireland. Diagnostic tests include; faecal testing (Code: LUNG), antigen detection (Code: VASOR) and in rare cases PCR/BAL cytology. False negative results are possible with all tests, however positive results are usually reliable. If cardio-respiratory signs are solely present, consider other lung parasites including; Canine - Crenosoma vulpis, Filaroides osleri, Filaroides hirthi, Eucoleus spp., Toxocara canis. Feline - Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, Eucoleus aerophilus, Troglostrongylus brevior (cats that have travelled).

Lungworm Examination (Baermann)

CANINE VACCINE SEROLOGY Serum antibody titres for canine Distemper virus, Parvovirus and Adenovirus correlate well with protective immunity. Pre vaccinal serology is not recommended for leptospires as durable immunity beyond one year has been shown not to occur and annual revaccination is required to maintain immunity. The Immunocomb is a semi quantitive test which is adequate in most cases. The VNT and HAI are gold standard tests that provide an actual titre value, after the animal’s blood is incubated with live virus.

Hints and Tips to Improve the Quality of your Cytology Submissions

Labelling and Identification of sample sites • If more than one site, ensure that all slides are clearly labelled to denote which site. It is often useful to use a number key and explain the key on the submission form (i.e. 1 = chest x 2 slides 2 = thigh x 2 slides)

• Include the location, size, duration & patient information on the submission form.

• Please provide a recent history pertinent to the cytology. Providing the pathologist with a concise and relevant patient history will provide you with more accurate and diagnostically useful report.

Smear Preparation• A push smear is the most commonly used method for fluid aspirates. The same method used when preparing a blood smear.

• Stop smear BEFORE end of slide, otherwise important cells disappear over the edge.

• Don’t use the droplet technique.

• Thicker material can be spread evenly with a second overlaying slide. Gently pull the slides apart to smoothly spread the material.

• Impression smears and swabs often only represent the surface process therefore a fine needle aspirate (FNA) is the sample of choice.

• If you have a swab, gently ROLL material, don’t smear

Submission of slides • NEVER submit only 1 slide. 2 – 4 slides is generally a good submission size.

• Leave all slides unstained but 1.

• Check the stained slide in-house to ensure that a diagnostic sample has been taken before submission to the external lab is always recommended.

• Ensure all slides are completely dry before placing in the slide mailer and store at room temperature (Storage of slides in refrigerator causes condensation and lysis)

• Send all slides in to the lab (including the stained slide).

• Package the slides in a separate bag to any formalin fixed histology samples that are being submitted at the same time. (Formalin fumes can cause a fixation artefact on the cytology slides making them non-diagnostic).

Fluid SubmissionsBody Cavity Effusions • Always submit fluid with pre-prepared slides as direct smears are often not helpful.

• Refrigerate the fluid sample if there is a delay in sending to the laboratory.

• Please submit a succinct relevant history.

Mass Fluids/Synovial Fluids & Washes • Always submit fluid with pre-prepared slides & provide a succinct relevant history.

Prostatic Wash • Have a low diagnostic accuracy. Neoplastic cells are often not recovered in specimens obtained by prostatic massage and wash. Prostatic massage may produce septicaemia in dogs with acute bacterial prostatitis or a prostatic abscess.

• An open direct FNA is best with a biopsy for histopathology if possible.

CSF & Urine • Submit in an EDTA tube (and a plain tube if culture is also required).

• Please submit a succinct relevant history.

Fluid samples that require cytological evaluation and culture should be submitted in an EDTA tube (cytology) & a plain tube (for culture). If only a small volume of fluid is available submit just the plain tube.

Plain tubes suitable are microcentrifuge/Eppendorf or universal tubes. Plain blood tubes are unsuitable.

CYTOLOGY & HISTOPATHOLOGYAny slides being submitted for cytology should be packaged and sent separately from samples being submitted for histology as any exposure to formalin fumes can severely damage the morphology of the cells. Likewise, please do NOT add formalin to any fluids being submitted for cytology. Please state site of samples, and provide relevant clinical history.

Cytology charging structure: Up to 6 slides in total, from up to 3 sites, will be charged as a single FNA at £48.65 (FNAME). Up to 12 slides and up to 6 sites will be charged at £86.35 (single FNAME + FNA2). Standard charging is for domestic cat, dog, rabbit, guinea pig, ferret & small rodents. Please refer to page 47 for exotic pricing structure.

Second Opinions on cases that have been reported by another laboratory are charged at list price. If you would like a second opinion on a case we have reported please call to discuss with the reporting pathologist in the first instance. There is no charge for discussing a report with a pathologist or for a brief written adendum. However, if a full written report is required, this will be charged at list price.

SUBMISSION OF WHOLE ORGANS, LARGE AND CHALLENGING SAMPLES FOR HISTOPATHOLOGY Question 1: Does the sample fit comfortably within one of our routine biopsy pots? Please do not squeeze large samples into too small a pot. If yes, please follow our normal packaging guidelines. If no, see below for question 2: Question 2: Can the sample be cut in half and submitted in two pots? Or in quarters and into four pots? Please do not section into smaller proportions than this, as it becomes impractical to re-orient and process Question 3: Does the whole sample really need to be submitted? If no, then submit one (or more) relevant sections in one or more of our biopsy pots. Retain the remainder of the sample in fixative within the practice until the histopathology report is received – if the pathologist requires further tissues, further tissues can then be submitted. *Some samples are best submitted whole, for example hearts, brains and sometimes spleens* If yes, the whole sample does need to be submitted, then the sample will require fixation at the practice first prior to submission: - First fix the sample in a large container with a lid at the practice - 10% neutral buffered formalin should be replaced with fresh solution after 24 hours if the specimen requires longer fixation - A ratio of less than 5:1 is considered inadequate, optimal is 10:1 formalin:tissue - Consider slicing the sample, removing unnecessary muscle, fascia etc. to allow for penetration of formalin into the tissues - a series of partial incisions 1cm apart into the centre of the tissue will aid tissue permeation and fixation (see Fact sheet 6 for further details) - Consider de-bulking limbs of muscle and skin that will not be required for assessment - The length of time the samples should be left to fix at the surgery will depend on the size/type of tissue and method of transportation to the laboratory; formalin penetrates very slowly at approximately 1mm per hour, so specimens need to be left to fix for an adequate length of time. - Specimens should be fixed for approximately 6-72 hours, preferably for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight, especially for larger specimens, at room temperature - Anatomical barriers to fixation should be removed or incised where possible (e.g. fascia, bone, faeces, thick tissues); large samples should be sectioned or opened and gently cleaned (e.g. gastrointestinal tract) to allow penetration of fixative. Do not scrape mucosal surfaces. - Adequate fixation should not be compromised in the interests of minimalizing turnaround times - Once fixed, package as follows: - Wrap the sample in formalin soaked gauze/tissue to keep the sample moist in transit - Place inside two sealed leak-proof bags (clinical waste/cadaver bags recommended) - Wrap in absorbent material (newspaper/tissue) - Place inside a rigid container or box (please note a sharps bin is not a suitable container for this purpose) We also have fact sheets available for your guidance. Please contact us for further information.

4.2 If Axiom’s performance of any of its obligations under the Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by the Customer or failure by the Customer to perform any relevant obligation (“Customer Default”):

4.2.1 without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to it, Axiom shall have the right to suspend performance of the Services until the Customer remedies the Customer Default, and to rely on the Customer Default to relieve it from the performance of any of its obligations in eachcase to the extent the Customer Default prevents or delays Axiom’s performance of any of its obligations;

4.2.2 Axiom shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Customer arising directly or indirectly from Axiom’s failure or delay to perform any of its obligations as set out in this clause 4.2; and

4.2.3 the Customer shall reimburse Axiom on written demand for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by Axiom arising directly or indirectly from the Customer Default.

5.1 The Charges for the Services shall be calculated in accordance with Axiom’s then price list.

5.2 Axiom may update or alter its price lists, catalogues, sales literature or other documentation relating to the Services (in whatever form and on whatever media) at any time without given notice to the Customer. Any typing, clerical or other error or omission in any catalogue, sales literature, price list, dispatch note, invoice or other documentation or any information issued by Axiom shall be subject to correction without liability on the part of Axiom.

5.3 Unless the Customer has paid for the Services at the point at which their Order is submitted, Axiom shall invoice the Customer on at the end of the month that the submission was recieved.

5.5 All amounts payable by the Customer under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax chargeable from time to time (“VAT”). Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made under the Contract by Axiom to the Customer, the Customer shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from Axiom, pay to Axiom such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Services at the same time as payment is due for the supply of the Services.

5.6 If the Customer fails to make a payment due to Axiom under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting Axiom’s remedies under clause 9, the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause 5.6 will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England’s base rate from time to time.

5.7 All amounts due under the Contract shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

6.2 Axiom may authorise a third party (subcontractor) to process the Personal Data provided that the subcontractor’s contract:

the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.

8. Termination

8.1 Axiom may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the Customer if:

8.1.1 the Customer commits a material breach (other than one in respect of payment pursuant to clause 8.1.5 below) of any term of the Contract and (if such a breach is remediable) fails to remedy that breach within 30 days of the Customer being notified in writing to do so;

8.1.2 the Customer takes any step or action in connection with its entering administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with its creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of its assets or ceasing to carry on business or, if the step or action is taken in another jurisdiction, in connection with any analogous procedure in the relevant jurisdiction;

8.1.3 the Customer suspends, or threatens to suspend, or ceases or threatens to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of its business;

8.1.6 there is a change of control of the Customer.

9. Consequences of termination

9.1 Termination of the Contract shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Contract which existed at or before the date of termination.

9.2 Any provision of the Contract that expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination of the Contract shall remain in full force and effect.

10. General

10.1 Force majeure. Neither party shall be in breach of the Contract nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under the Contract if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control.

10.2 Assignment and other dealings.

10.2.1 Axiom may at any time assign, mortgage, charge, subcontract, delegate, declare a trust over or deal in any other manner with any or all of its rights and obligations under the Contract.

10.5 Waiver. A waiver of any right or remedy under the Contract or by law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any otherright or remedy.

10.6 Severance. If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.
