If the Services are delayed or Defective, Supplier will incur penalties in accordance with
Appendix 10.
30. DEFAULTS AND REMEDY

12
30.2 Supplier shall without undue delay carry out repairs and correct Defects, if notice is
given during the Term of this Agreement.
30.3 If the Services do not meet agreed service levels, Supplier shall immediately make all

for non-fulfilment of agreed services levels.
30.4 Any use of data or results by the Supplier in contravention with the terms of this
Agreement and any non-compliance with the Data Protection Acts by Supplier, is
regarded material breach of this Agreement, which entitles DMR to terminate with
immediately effect.
31. REDUCTION OF CHARGES
DMR shall in accordance with the ordinary rules of Danish law be entitled to a
proportionate reduction of the Charges, if the requirements for such reduction are

the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, damages due to data loss or data
damage/data distortion, losses suffered as a result of cover purchases are deemed
direct damages.
32.3 If one of the Service Recipients suffers a loss or damage, which would have been a
direct damage for DMR and comprised by Clause 32.1, if the loss or damage had been
suffered by DMR, the Parties agree that such loss or damage is considered a direct
damage for DMR comprised by Clause 32.1, despite it is suffered by another person
than DMR.
32.4 A Party shall not be liable for any amount (excluding service credits, penalties and any
indemnifications as a result of breach of Clause 23.1), that in total exceeds all
payments made and to be made by DMR under this Agreement.
33. TERM
33.1 The term of this Agreement is 4 years from signing of this Agreement ("Term"), ie. 1
year of Transitional Services and 3 years of delivery of Base Services. DMR is, however,
entitled to extend the Term by another year, subject to 6 months’ written notice to
Supplier before expiry of the Term. DMR is entitled to apply this right of extension of
the Term three times.
13

period that it is not possible to transfer the Services to another service provider during
the remaining termination notice period, DMR is entitled to extend the termination
notice period with up to 12 months upon a prior written notice of 3 months. Supplier is,
however, entitled to increase the Charges for the Services in the extended termination
notice period in accordance with the percentages stipulated in the Price Catalogue.
34. TERMINATION
34.1 Expiry
Expiry of this Agreement will not terminate any Call-off Agreement. Such Call-off
Agreement expires according to its own terms and conditions, and any provisions in this
Agreement which are by nature to continue during the term of the Call-off Agreement
will apply until expiry of the Call-off Agreement.
34.2 Termination for Convenience
34.2.1 DMR shall have the right, without prejudice to its other rights or remedies, to terminate
this Agreement and/or individual Call-off Agreements for convenience by giving at least

APPENDIX 1 – REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION, DESCRIPTION OF
SERVICE AND DOCUMENTATION (INCL. OPTIONS)
This specification describes the Requirements for the requested Services. The Supplier should
make Proposals based on the given technical Requirements specified in this document.
Important: Words starting with a capital letter are defined in Appendix 1a: Definition List.
Types of Requirements
MR = Minimum Requirement
R = Requirement
O = Optional Service
MO = Minimum Option
All Requirements for products and Services, that are described as Minimum Requirement (MR) or
Requirement (R) are seen as “Base Services” and, shall be included in the given price for the
Agreement.
All Requirements that are described as optional (O) or Minimum Option (MO) are seen as “Op-
tional Services” and shall not be included in the given price for the Agreement, but must be priced
individually.
All points of the Proposals, and how they match all four types of Requirements, will be evaluated
separately and as a whole, in a ranking of ability to meet specific requirements, and to form a to-
tal ranking.

Minimum Option yes separately optional from DMR yes low
*) Requirements are not strictly mandatory - but hard to imagine that we choose a pro-
posal without these features.
Minimum Requirement (MR)
Minimum Requirements are parts of the Base Services and must be part of the Proposal. If a MR
point is not fulfilled, or if a MR point is offered with caveats, the Proposal will not match the speci-
fication, and will be rejected. Each point will be given a score, used for the comparison and evalu-
ation of the Proposals. A high degree of fulfilment of a point gives a full score, partial fulfilment
gives lower score and non-fulfilment disqualifies the Proposal.
Requirement (R)
Requirements are parts of the Base Services and should be fulfilled and are central in evaluation
of the Proposals. Each point will be given a score, used for the comparison and evaluation of the
Proposals. A high degree of fulfilment of a point gives a full score, non-fulfilment and partial fulfil-
ment gives lower scores.
Optional Service (O)
Suppliers are free to choose whether to offer none or more of the requested Optional Services.
But Suppliers should aim to include the Optional Services in their Proposal, as the Optional Ser-
vices will count in the evaluation of the highest scoring Proposal. DMR can choose whether or not
to accept delivery of Optional Services at any point within the t imeframe of the Agreement. Op-
tional Services must be offered with a given minimum duration period, implementation time, and
must be priced individually if offered.
Suppliers are welcome to offer any other Optional Services to DMR themselves.
Minimum Option (MO)
Minimum Option, like other Optional Services, are products and services where DMR can choose
whether or not to accept delivery at any point within the timeframe of the Agreement. Minimum
Options are however considered as products and services which the Supplier must fulfil. If a Mini-
mum Option point is not fulfilled or is offered with caveats, the Proposal will not match the specifi-
cation, and will be rejected. Minimum Options must be offered with a given minimum duration pe-
riod, implementation time, and must be priced individually.
3
Important: For each Requirement (ID) mentioned below, the Proposal must provide a thorough de-scription of how the Requirements are met.
General Requirement
The Supplier must give a clear description of his overall capacity to maintain and develop an au-
dience measurement. This includes description of experience with and approach to technical de-
velopment in the field of audience measurement. It is important to DMR that the Supplier shows
capability of continuously staying at pace with technological development in this field, to ensure
that the Service is of the highest standard possible for the duration of the Agreement. Equally,
the Supplier must describe its ability to handle all aspects of legal compliance related to the Ser-
vices.
ID Description Type

Describe your development competency and ability to deliver, by dating and sum-
marizing in bullet point form, historical milestones in the development of the Ser-
vices in other markets including specific challenges addressed by these milestones.
MR
1.2 The Supplier must guarantee that all data are securely stored and backed up and
describe how this is done. MR
1.3
All parts of the Services must at all times comply with all related EU and national
Danish legislation – especially but not exclusively concerning privacy, data protec-
tion, and data handling. Describe how compliance with all EU and national Danish
legislation will be ensured during the Term of the Agreement.
MR
1.4
Describe the technology used in the different phases of the data processing leading
up to data delivery to the Service Recipients. This includes the description of all
software and hardware systems.
MR
1.5 It must be possible to hide and/or anonymize all registered IP-addresses in all data
available to DMR and Service Recipients. MR
Technical specification of Requirements for the Services
Scope of Services, Methodology and data collection Requirements
The measurement technology is of great importance for the quality of the Services. DMR asks for
a thorough description of all aspects of the proposed solutions. Descriptions of technical and
methodological character are welcome and should be accompanied by non-technical descriptions.
It is a Requirement that the Services measure coverage figures for the use of Danish Digital Me-
dia in a way that is both credible and comparable with other media.
4
DMR wants to have a high quality technical measurement. DMR is open to different types of
measurement technologies and recognize that different technologies have different strengths and
weaknesses. The Supplier may propose different technologies i.e. Site Centric, Panel, Software
based Panel etc. or any combinations of these for measuring the Digital Media usage.
In case of offering several solutions, please make different complete Proposals, with separate
price descriptions for each solution offered.
