General Terms and Conditions
Last updated February 6 2024
1. The Agreement
These General Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to each order form (“Order Form”) entered into by the intelliflo entity (“Supplier”) and the customer entity (“Customer”) named in the Order Form under which Customer has subscribed to certain software offerings, which may include cloud-based services or on-premises applications (“Subscribed Services”) and associated support services (“Support Services”) or other ordered services (“Additional Services”, together with the Subscribed Services and Support Services, “Services”).
Each Order Form will form a separate agreement that is governed by and incorporates the following (collectively, the “Agreement”):
- Order Form
- These Terms
- Service Level and Support Terms
- Information Security Terms
- Acceptable Use Terms
- Any applicable Third Party Terms
Each of the above will include any separate document, policy or provision referred to within. If there is a conflict between any of the above, the order of precedence will be the order in which they are listed above with the Order Form having the highest precedence.
2. Term and Termination
The Agreement will commence on the date of the Order Form (“Effective Date”) and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement, continue for the initial subscription term stated in the Order Form (“Initial Subscription Term”) and any renewal terms (“Renewal Terms,” together with the Initial Subscription Term, “Term”).
The Initial Subscription Term will commence on the earlier of: (a) the “Forecast Go Live Date” stated in the Order Form; and (b) the date that at least one Subscribed Service is first made available to Customer (“Go Live Date”). Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide access to the Subscribed Services on or before such Forecast Go Live Date; provided that Customer timely performs the dependencies set forth in the Order Form (“Dependencies”).
Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, at the end of the Initial Subscription Term and thereafter at the end of each Renewal Term, the Term and all then-current user subscriptions purchased by Customer for the Subscribed Services will be automatically renewed for successive periods equal to the Initial Subscription Term, unless either party gives the other party written notice of non-renewal at least three (3) months before the end of the Initial Subscription Term or then-current Renewal Term.
The Agreement may be immediately terminated upon written notice by a party in the event the other party commits a material breach of the Agreement that remains uncured for sixty (60) days following receipt of written notice thereof or is subject to an Insolvency Event.
Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, all rights granted by Supplier under the Agreement, including all rights to use the Services or any other Supplier Resources, will terminate, and Customer will stop using the Services and all Supplier Resources and return or destroy any copies of Supplier Resources in its possession or control. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, if the Agreement is terminated other than by Customer for cause pursuant to the previous paragraph, Customer will pay all unpaid Charges in full covering the remainder of the Term. Termination or expiration of the Agreement will not affect either of the party’s accrued rights or liabilities. Any provision which is expressly or by implication intended to survive termination or expiration of the Agreement, including this paragraph, Sections 1, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14, will survive termination or expiration of the Agreement in accordance with their terms.
3. Services
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Supplier grants to Customer, exercisable by Authorized Users, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to access and use during the Term each Subscribed Service solely for Customer’s internal business operations and any Deliverables solely in connection with use of the Services authorized under the Agreement.
Support Services will be available for each Subscribed Service for the duration of the Term, to the extent and in the manner specified in the Service Level and Support Terms and an Order Form, as applicable.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Additional Services and Additional User Subscriptions will, in each case, be provided as specified in an Order Form.
4. Charges and Payment
Customer will pay to Supplier all charges, fees and other amounts set out in the Order Form or the Agreement (“Charges”) without deductions, withholdings, or setoff and, unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, by established direct debit. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, all Charges are non-cancellable, non-creditable and non-refundable.
Supplier will invoice Customer for the Charges as described in the Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, all such invoices will be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date in the currency of the jurisdiction in which the Supplier is organized (“Due Date”).
Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, Charges, other than basis point pricing Recurring Charges, will be subject to an increase each year during the Term equal to the greater of three percent (3%) or the annual increase in the Price Index.
Any Charges that are not subject to a good faith dispute and not paid by the Due Date will accrue interest at a rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month until payment is received by Supplier. In addition, Customer shall be liable for any costs incurred by Supplier in the collection of any overdue Charges that are not subject to a good faith dispute. If Customer fails to pay any such Charges by the Due Date, Supplier may, in addition to its other available remedies, suspend the provision of the Services until all past due Charges have been fully paid, or terminate the Agreement if any such Charges are overdue by thirty (30) or more days.
To dispute any invoiced Charges, Customer will notify Supplier in writing of its good faith basis for disputing such Charges within thirty (30) days of that invoice date. Any Charges not subject to a good faith dispute raised within such thirty (30) day period are deemed correct and binding on Customer and, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, Customer waives any claims it may have to dispute such Charges.
The Charges do not include, and Customer will pay to Supplier, all sales, service use, goods and services, value added, excise or other tax, assessment or duty related to the Services, Charges, or the Agreement (other than taxes based Supplier’s net income). If Applicable Laws require that any Charges are subject to tax withholding by Customer, Customer will provide prior written notice of such withholding to and reasonably cooperate with Supplier in seeking any appropriate reduction.
5. Customer Responsibilities
Customer will ensure that only Authorized Users use or access the Services via the access methods provided or approved by Supplier and that such access and use is at all times in accordance with the Acceptable Use Terms and the other terms of the Agreement. In the event Customer or any Authorized Users breach the Acceptable Use Terms or use the Services in a manner that poses an imminent and material security risk to Supplier or other customers, Supplier may immediately suspend access to the applicable Services or delete, or require Customer to delete, any Service Use Inputs contained in the Services associated with such breach or risk; provided that, Supplier will promptly restore access to the Services once the breach or risk has been resolved. Customer will be responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of all Authorized Users and any person using an Authorized User’s access credentials or account for any Subscribed Service.
Customer will ensure that the number of Authorized Users who use the Subscribed Services does not exceed the number of user subscriptions that Customer has purchased for the relevant Subscribed Service at any time and that the Authorized Users do not share their access credentials or accounts for any Subscribed Service.
Customer will be solely responsible for ensuring its hardware, software, systems, networks, internet connections, and other information technology infrastructure (“Customer Systems”) are up-to-date and compatible with the Services. Customer will provide Supplier with reasonable access to Customer Systems and data as may be reasonably required by Supplier to provide the Services.
The Services may bundle, offer access to, or otherwise include certain Third Party Services, as may be further specified in the Order Form, including Third Party Services that may be purchased via a store within the Subscribed Services. Customer agrees to and will ensure Authorized Users comply with applicable third party terms and conditions applicable to the Third Party Services (“Third Party Terms”). Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, Customer will be solely responsible for its and its Authorized Users’ use of the Third Party Services, obtaining and maintaining all necessary licenses, permissions, and consents to use any Third Party Services, and ensuring that Customer Systems are compatible and interoperable with all Third Party Services. Customer and its Authorized Users’ use of Third Party Services will be subject to the Acceptable Use Terms as if the Third Party Services were Supplier Resources.
Customer will notify Supplier in writing within two (2) days of becoming aware that the Services have been or are likely to be used or accessed by someone other than an Authorized User or in a manner not authorized by the Agreement.
Customer will ensure that all Dependencies are timely satisfied. Customer agrees that Supplier may not be able to provide the Services until after the Dependencies are satisfied and that, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Supplier, Supplier will not be obligated to expend additional resources in order to mitigate any such failure by Customer to timely satisfy the Dependencies.
If Customer provides any express written instructions to Supplier with respect to the Agreement, Customer will be solely responsible for all acts and omissions to the extent acting pursuant to such instructions.
Customer will be solely responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws in relation to its use of the Services, Third Party Services, and the Agreement. Customer will take no action in violation of, or that would cause Supplier or any of its Affiliates to be in violation of, any Applicable Laws, including any anti-corruption laws, and Customer will maintain policies, procedures and controls that are reasonably designed to prevent and detect violations of anti-money laundering laws.
Customer will have sole authority and responsibility for all legal, tax, financial, investment, regulatory or other professional advice, opinions, or recommendations delivered by or on behalf of Customer through the Services. Supplier will in no way be liable or responsible for any such advice, opinions, or recommendations rendered by or on behalf of Customer.

If any Service Use Inputs are alleged to infringe, misappropriate, or violate any Intellectual Property Rights of any person, create, or enable any Virus, or not comply with Applicable Laws or the Agreement, Supplier may permanently delete, remove, or suspend access to such Service Use Inputs without prior notice to Customer; provided that Supplier will promptly notify Customer following any such deletion, removal, or suspension.
If Customer submits a written request to Supplier for extraction of specified Service Use Inputs indicating the associated Authorized User in accordance with any form provided by Supplier (“Extraction Request”) during the Term or within sixty (60) days thereafter, Supplier will within thirty (30) days following receipt of all applicable extraction charges agreed by the parties (“Extraction Charge”) extract and provide a copy of such Service Use Inputs identified in the Extraction Request to the extent reasonably extractable from the Subscribed Services.

14. General Terms
If either party is prevented, hindered, or delayed from or in performing any of its obligations under the Agreement by a Force Majeure Event, it will notify the other party in writing as soon as reasonably possible. Neither party will be deemed to be in breach of the Agreement or otherwise be liable for any prevented, hindered, or delayed performance to the extent due to a Force Majeure Event. If such Force Majeure Event continues for more than three (3) months, the unaffected party may terminate the Agreement by giving thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other party.
Without the written consent of the other party, neither party may assign or transfer the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under the Agreement other than to its Affiliates or successors in interest; provided that, any enterprise, unlimited or other non-user/use-based licenses granted to Customer will only extend to the Customer’s business existing as of the time of such assignment or transfer and not to such Affiliate’s or successor’s broader businesses unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Supplier. Either party may, without prior consent from the other Party, engage subcontractors to assist in performing its obligations under the Agreement; provided that, each Party will remain responsible for the performance of its obligations under the Agreement notwithstanding the use of any subcontractors.

Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, Customer agrees that Supplier and its Affiliates will be entitled to, following initial delivery of the Services, publicize that Customer is a customer of Supplier and has subscribed to the Services and Supplier may from time to time reasonably request, with the prior consent of Customer (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), for Customer to serve as a reference to prospective customers of Supplier and its Affiliates and provide quotes for use in promotional materials issued by Supplier or its Affiliates. Customer hereby grants to Supplier (exercisable by Supplier and its Affiliates and marketing partners or representatives) a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid-up right and license to use, publish and reproduce Customer Marks for the promotional purposes specified in this paragraph.
The Services may be updated in connection with new releases, bug fixes, or patches (e.g., to enhance security controls or streamline user experience). Supplier reserves the right to update the Agreement (other than the Order Form) (“Updates”) by providing notice to Customer or by posting the Updated version of the Agreement to the Website. Customer’s continued use of the Services following an Update will constitute Customer’s agreement to be bound by such Update. No amendment or change to the Agreement will be binding on either party unless it is made in writing and signed by (or on behalf of) both parties, or it is an Update that is made in accordance with this paragraph.
The Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes any prior agreements, representations, or understandings between them whether in writing or oral. Supplier will not be bound by any term, condition, or other provision howsoever related or submitted which is different from or in addition to the provisions of the Agreement, including in any purchase order or other documentation provided by or behalf of Customer. Each party acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied on and will have no remedy in respect of any representation made but not expressly set out in the Agreement.
Except with respect to Affiliates entitled to an indemnity under Section 10, the Agreement is not intended to and does not give any person who is not a party to it any right to enforce any of its provisions (including for the purposes of the United Kingdom Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999).
