Legal

The master agreement governing your use of PrivIQ – covering subscription, fees, data processing (Data Processing Agreement / DPA), warranties, liability, term and termination. This document also serves as the controller-processor DPA required under Article 28 GDPR.

1. Definitions

Sets out the defined terms used throughout the agreement, including Affiliate, Authorized User, Customer Data, Documentation, Services, Subscription Term and similar.

2. The PrivIQ Services

PrivIQ grants the Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Services during the Subscription Term, in accordance with the Documentation and the Order Form.

3. Customer Data and Security

Customer retains all rights, title and interest in Customer Data. PrivIQ implements technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk – including AWS Well-Architected infrastructure, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls and audit logging.

4. Fees and Payment

Subscription fees are payable in advance per the Order Form. PrivIQ reserves the right to adjust fees on renewal with prior written notice.

5. Term and Termination

The agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues for the Subscription Term unless terminated earlier in accordance with these Terms. Either party may terminate for material breach not cured within 30 days of notice.

6. Confidentiality

Each party will protect the Confidential Information of the other with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, and will not disclose it to third parties except as permitted under this agreement.

7. Warranties and Disclaimers

PrivIQ warrants that the Services will materially conform to the Documentation. Except as expressly stated, the Services are provided “as is” to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. Limitation of Liability

Neither party will be liable to the other for indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages. Aggregate liability is capped at the fees paid in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9. Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

When PrivIQ processes personal data on behalf of Customer, it acts as a Processor. The DPA addresses subject-matter and duration, nature and purpose of processing, types of personal data and categories of data subjects, sub-processor arrangements (with advance notice and right to object), data subject rights assistance, security measures, breach notification, audit rights, and return or deletion of data at end.

10. Sub-processors

PrivIQ may engage sub-processors to support service delivery. A current list of sub-processors is maintained and available on request. PrivIQ provides advance notice of material sub-processor changes.

11. International Transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA or UK to a non-adequate destination, PrivIQ relies on Standard Contractual Clauses with supplementary measures as appropriate.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Disputes will be resolved in the competent courts of Amsterdam, subject to applicable mandatory consumer-protection laws.

Supplementary terms applicable to professional and consulting services delivered by PrivIQ – including onboarding, configuration, training, and “Build a Risk Solution” engagements.

1. Scope

These Additional Services Terms apply where PrivIQ provides professional services in addition to the standard subscription – onboarding, configuration, training, ongoing support, framework development or consultant-branded delivery.

2. Statement of Work

Each engagement is governed by a Statement of Work (SOW) describing the scope, deliverables, timeline, fees and acceptance criteria. The SOW is incorporated by reference into the master agreement.

3. Customer Responsibilities

Customer will provide reasonable cooperation, timely access to relevant stakeholders, and the information PrivIQ requires to deliver the engagement. Delays in customer cooperation may extend timelines accordingly.

4. Acceptance

Deliverables are deemed accepted on the earlier of (a) written acceptance, (b) productive use, or (c) the lapse of any acceptance window specified in the SOW.

5. Change Control

Material changes to scope, deliverables or timeline are documented through a written change request signed by both parties.

6. Intellectual Property

PrivIQ retains all rights in its pre-existing IP and any general-purpose tools, methods or know-how. Customer receives a non-exclusive licence to use deliverables specifically prepared for the engagement.

7. Fees

Professional services fees are billed per the SOW – typically on a fixed-fee, time-and-materials or milestone basis.

8. Travel and Expenses

Reasonable, pre-approved travel and expenses are reimbursed at cost, subject to the SOW.

9. Subcontractors

PrivIQ may engage qualified subcontractors to deliver the engagement, subject to equivalent confidentiality and data-protection obligations.

10. Termination of an SOW

Either party may terminate an SOW for material breach not cured within 30 days. On termination, Customer pays for services rendered up to the effective date.
