Business Continuity Plan Statement
Business continuity and disaster recovery are high priorities for Daphne. Daphne’s goal is to minimize downtime, facilitate timely restoration of critical services, and mitigate risks that could impact the ability to serve our clients. Daphne has established and implemented a Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”) to provide a framework to prepare Daphne in the event of extended service outages caused by factors beyond its control (e.g., natural disasters, man-made events), and to restore services to the widest extent possible in a minimum time frame. The plan includes both business-as-usual activities related to Daphne’s business continuity (e.g., planning, testing, and training) as well as a Crisis Management Plan (“CMP”) to be used in the event of a crisis situation. The goal of Daphne’s CMP is to:
- Protect and preserve human life, health, and well-being;
- Prevent or minimize loss, damage, or disruption to facilities, resources and operations;
- Stabilize the situation and administer immediate response, assessment, and management of the crisis;
- Provide essential services and operations; and
- Communicate internally with employees and externally with company vendors and stakeholders.
No contingency plan can be failsafe or provide absolute assurance that an interruption in business will not occur or that negative consequences will not ensue from a crisis or event. Because natural disasters and other disruptions are unpredictable and can change over time, a disruption may not have been fully anticipated when the BCP was originally designed or later modified. For these reasons, Daphne is committed to ensuring that its BCP is up-to-date as new information, techniques, and technologies become available. Daphne may alter, add to or eliminate certain aspects of the BCP from time to time.
Other
If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and other posted policies on the Sites, together represent the entire agreement between Daphne, on the one hand, and you, on the other, relating to the subject matter hereof. We may assign the Sites and our rights and duties under these Terms, the Privacy Policy and other posted policies in connection with any reorganization, change of control or asset sale in our sole discretion. No course of conduct or trade practice will be deemed to modify these Terms in any respect.
