2. SERVICE PROVISION AND ORGANIZATION WORKSPACE
2.1 Grant of Access Rights
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and your payment of applicable fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Platform solely for your internal business purposes during the term of this Agreement.
This right includes the ability to create and maintain an Organization Workspace, invite and manage Authorized Users, configure workspace settings, and use the Platform's document creation, editing, review, and collaboration features in accordance with your Subscription Plan.
2.2 Organization Workspace Provisioning
Upon your acceptance of this Agreement and, if applicable, completion of payment setup, we will provision your Organization Workspace.
- Your Workspace will be identified by a unique workspace name or subdomain that you specify during setup. You are responsible for ensuring that your chosen workspace identifier does not infringe any third-party trademark rights or violate our Acceptable Use Policy.
- You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information about your organization, including organization name, billing contact information, and payment details. You must keep this information up to date throughout the term of this Agreement.
- You will designate at least one Administrator who will have the authority to manage user access, permissions, and workspace configuration.
- You acknowledge that creating an Organization Workspace establishes a direct contractual relationship between your organization and us, separate from your individual user account relationship governed by the User Terms.
2.3 Subscription Plans and Features
The features and functionality available in your Organization Workspace depend on the Subscription Plan you select. Our current Subscription Plans and their respective features are described at https://www.oxygenxml.com/content_fusion.html or in your Order Form.
We reserve the right to modify, add, or remove features from Subscription Plans, provided that we will not materially reduce features included in your current plan during a prepaid subscription period without offering you a suitable alternative or adjustment to your fees.
2.4 User Seat Allocation
Your Subscription Plan includes a specified number of Authorized User seats. You may invite up to the maximum number of Authorized Users permitted by your plan. If you need additional user seats, you may purchase them through your account settings, and fees for additional seats will be charged as described in Section 5.
An Authorized User seat is considered "active" when assigned to a specific individual with access to your Workspace. You may reassign user seats (for example, when an employee leaves and is replaced by a new employee), but you may not share user seats among multiple individuals or allow multiple individuals to use the same user account.
2.5 Service Levels and Availability
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Platform available to you and your Authorized Users. The Platform is generally designed to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for scheduled maintenance, upgrades, and circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
If your Subscription Plan includes a Service Level Agreement, specific uptime commitments and remedies for service interruptions are set forth in Appendix A. If no SLA applies to your plan, the Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis with respect to uptime and availability, subject to the general warranties in Section 9 (Warranties).
2.6 Platform Updates and Modifications
We may update, modify, enhance, or change features and functionality of the Platform from time to time at our discretion. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes that significantly affect functionality you rely on, typically with at least 30 days' advance notice for major changes.
We may also perform scheduled maintenance on the Platform, during which the Platform may be temporarily unavailable. We will attempt to schedule maintenance during off-peak hours (generally defined as 00:00-06:00 UTC) when reasonably possible and will provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance when practicable, typically at least 24 hours in advance.
2.7 Support Services
We will provide technical support services to you in accordance with the support terms applicable to your Subscription Plan. Support terms, including available support channels, support hours, and target response times, are described in Appendix B.
Generally, our support services include assistance with technical issues, guidance on using Platform features, and troubleshooting of problems you encounter. Support does not include custom development, data migration services, or training, unless separately agreed in an Order Form or statement of work.
3. AUTHORIZED USERS AND USER MANAGEMENT
3.1 Your Responsibility for User Management.
You are solely responsible for inviting, managing, configuring permissions for, and removing Authorized Users from your Organization Workspace. This includes:
- Determining which individuals should have access to your Workspace
- Assigning appropriate roles and permissions to each Authorized User
- Promptly removing access for individuals who should no longer have access (such as departed employees or completed contractors)
You may add or remove Authorized Users at any time through the Platform's user management interface.
3.2 Administrator Designation and Responsibilities
- You must designate at least one individual as an Administrator for your Organization Workspace. You should designate multiple Administrators to ensure continuity of access and management capability if an Administrator is unavailable.
- You are responsible for ensuring that only trustworthy individuals with appropriate authority within your organization are designated as Administrators. Administrators have elevated privileges, including the ability to invite and remove users, assign and modify user permissions, configure workspace settings, manage billing information, and access administrative reports and logs.
- You are responsible for ensuring that Administrator contact information is current and that Administrators check their email and Platform notifications regularly. We may communicate important notices and information about your Organization Workspace to your designated Administrators.
3.3 User Authorization and Consent
You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary rights, consents, and authorizations required to:
- Invite each Authorized User to access your Organization Workspace
- Process Personal Data of Authorized Users in connection with their use of the Platform
- Monitor and access Authorized User activity within your Workspace as described in Section 4.4
3.4 Compliance with User Terms
Each Authorized User must create an individual user account on the Platform and accept the User Terms before accessing your Organization Workspace.
If an Authorized User violates the User Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy, we may suspend or terminate that user's access to the Platform. In cases of serious or repeated violations, we may suspend or terminate access to your entire Organization Workspace as described in Section 10.4.
You acknowledge that while Authorized Users must accept the User Terms, those terms are between us and the individual user, and you have no right to enforce those terms on our behalf. However, you may enforce your own policies and agreements with your Authorized Users through your separate employment, contractor, or other relationships with them.
3.5 Unauthorized Access
You must immediately notify us if you become aware of any unauthorized access to your Organization Workspace, any security breach involving Authorized User credentials, or any other security incident that may affect the Platform or other customers. You should send such notifications to security@oxygenxml.com
You are responsible for all activities that occur within your Organization Workspace through Authorized User accounts that you have created or approved, unless such activities result from a security breach caused by our failure to implement reasonable security measures.
4. ORGANIZATION CONTENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
4.1 Ownership of Organization Content
As between you and us, you retain all right, title, and interest in and to your Organization Content. We claim no ownership rights in Organization Content.
However, by uploading or creating Organization Content within your Workspace, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, license to host, store, process, cache, reproduce, display, transmit, and distribute your Organization Content solely to the extent necessary to provide the Platform services to you and your Authorized Users in accordance with this Agreement.

Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
- We will not use your Organization Content to train machine learning models or artificial intelligence systems.
- We will not share your Organization Content with third parties except as necessary to provide the Platform services (such as with our cloud hosting provider) or as required by law.

4.4 Content Backup and Data Loss
While we implement backup procedures for disaster recovery purposes, you are responsible for maintaining your own independent backups of Organization Content. We recommend that you regularly export important content and store copies outside the Platform.
We are not responsible for loss of Organization Content except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct, or as expressly provided in the SLA if applicable to your Subscription Plan. Our liability for data loss, if any, is limited as described in Section 9.
You can export Organization Content at any time using the Platform's export features. The specific export formats available depend on your Subscription Plan. We do not guarantee that exported content will be identical in formatting or appearance to how it appears within the Platform.
4.5 Platform Intellectual Property
The Platform and its underlying technology, including all software, algorithms, user interfaces, designs, graphics, compilations, magnetic translations, digital conversions, and other elements of the Platform, are and shall remain our exclusive property and that of our licensors.
This Agreement does not grant you any rights to our intellectual property except the limited right to use the Platform as expressly provided in Section 2.1. Specifically:
- You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Platform or any component thereof, or attempt to discover or recreate the source code of the Platform.
- You may not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notices, trademarks, or other proprietary rights notices displayed on or generated by the Platform.

- You may not create derivative works based on the Platform or incorporate any portion of the Platform into other software or services.
4.6 Feedback and Suggestions
If you provide us with any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, or recommendations regarding the Platform ("Feedback"), we may use such Feedback without any obligation to you. You hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and otherwise exploit Feedback for any purpose, including incorporating it into the Platform or other products and services.
This means that if you suggest a new feature or improvement, we are free to implement it and make it available to all customers without compensating you or crediting you for the suggestion. If you have Feedback you wish to keep confidential or proprietary, you should not share it with us.
5. FEES, PAYMENT, AND BILLING
5.1 Subscription Fees
You agree to pay the subscription fees for your Organization Workspace as specified in your selected Subscription Plan or as set forth in an Order Form.
5.2 Billing and Payment
Subscription fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis, according to the applicable subscription term. Your initial billing will occur on the Billing Date (the date you complete Organization Workspace setup and payment configuration), and subsequent billings will occur on each renewal date corresponding to that subscription term (your Billing Date).
You must provide a valid payment method (credit or debit card) and authorize us to charge all fees to that payment method on the applicable Billing Date. If your subscription plan permits wire transfer, payment terms will be specified on the invoice (typically net 30 days).
If payment cannot be processed for any reason (such as card expiration, insufficient funds, or card decline), we will notify you and may suspend access to your Organization Workspace as described in Section 5.7. You are responsible for ensuring that your payment method information is current and that you have sufficient funds or credit available to cover subscription fees.
5.3 Automatic Renewal
Your subscription automatically renews for successive periods of the same duration as your initial term unless you cancel before the renewal date or we terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10. You may cancel through your account settings, and cancellation will take effect at the end of your then-current billing period.
You will be charged the then-current subscription fee for your Subscription Plan at each renewal, which may be different from the fee you paid previously if we have changed our pricing in accordance with Section 5.4.
5.4 Fee Changes and Price Increases
We reserve the right to change our subscription fees at any time, upon at least 30 days' written notice to you. Notice may be provided by email to your Administrator(s), by posting a notice in the Platform, or by other reasonable means.
Fee changes will take effect at the start of your next billing period following the notice period (your next term renewal date).
If you do not agree to a fee increase, you may cancel your automatic subscription before the fee increase takes effect. We will not increase fees during a prepaid term except for increases resulting from your addition of Authorized User seats or upgrade to a higher-tier Subscription Plan. If you continue using the Platform after the fee increase takes effect without canceling, you will be deemed to have accepted the new fees.
5.5 Adjustments for User Seat Changes
If you add Authorized User seats during a billing period, you will be charged for the additional seats as follows: Additional seats will be charged immediately on a prorated basis for the remainder of the current subscription term, calculated from the date of addition through the end of that term. Upon renewal, all seats will be charged at the full rate applicable to the subscription term.
5.6 Taxes and Withholding
All fees stated in this Agreement or on our pricing page are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, withholdings, and levies imposed by any government authority (including but not limited to VAT, sales tax, GST, and withholding tax) (collectively "Taxes"). You are responsible for payment of all Taxes except for taxes based on our net income.
5.7 Late Payment and Suspension/TerminationIf you fail to pay any fees when due, we may charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, if lower) from the due date until payment is received in full.
If payment is more than 15 days overdue, we may provide you with notice of the overdue amount and intent to suspend service. If payment is not received within 10 days of such notice (25 days total from original due date), we may suspend your access to the Organization Workspace and the access of all your Authorized Users. During any suspension for non-payment, your Organization Content will remain available to you once payment is received, but you and your Authorized Users will not be able to access or use the Platform.
If payment remains outstanding for more than 60 days from the original due date, we may terminate this Agreement and your Organization Workspace in accordance with Section 10.4(1). Upon such termination, the data retention provisions of Section 10.7 will apply.
5.8 Refunds and Cancellations
Fees paid are non-refundable except as expressly provided in this Section or as required by applicable law.
- Cancellation by You: If you cancel your subscription by providing notice in accordance with Section 10.2, you will not receive a refund for the remaining portion of your then-current billing period. You will retain access to your Organization Workspace through the end of the billing period for which you have paid.
- Termination by Us for Convenience: If we terminate this Agreement for our convenience in accordance with Section 10.3, we will provide you with a prorated refund of any prepaid fees for the unused portion of your subscription term following the termination date.
- Service Credits: If your Subscription Plan includes an SLA and we fail to meet the uptime commitments specified in the SLA, you may be eligible for service credits as described in Appendix A. Service credits are your sole remedy for failure to meet SLA commitments and are credited to your account for use against future invoices, not refunded in cash.
- Mandatory Legal Refunds: In jurisdictions where consumer protection laws or other mandatory laws require refund rights (such as EU cooling-off periods), we will provide refunds as required by applicable law. Such refunds do not waive any other terms of this Agreement.
5.9 Disputed Charges
If you believe that you have been incorrectly charged, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date of the invoice or charge you dispute. Your notice must include:
- Your organization name and account identifier
- The specific charge(s) you dispute
- The amount you believe is incorrect
- The reason you believe the charge is incorrect
- Any supporting documentation
We will investigate your dispute promptly and will respond within 15 business days. If we determine that the charge was incorrect, we will credit your account or refund the incorrect amount as appropriate. If we determine that the charge was correct, we will provide you with an explanation.
You remain obligated to pay all undisputed charges by their due date. You may not withhold payment of undisputed charges pending resolution of a dispute over other charges.
6. SERVICE LEVELS AND SUPPORT
6.1 Service Availability
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Platform available to you and your Authorized Users. However, the Platform is subject to occasional downtime for maintenance, updates, and unforeseen technical issues.
If your subscription plan includes a Service Level Agreement (SLA), specific uptime commitments and remedies for service interruptions are set forth in Appendix A or in your Order Form. If no SLA applies to your plan, the Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis with respect to uptime and availability.
6.2 Support Services
The level of support available to you depends on your subscription plan. Standard support typically includes email-based support during business hours.

Support terms and service level commitments for support response times, if applicable to your plan, are set forth in Appendix B or in your Order Form.
6.3 Updates and Modifications
We may update, modify, enhance, or change features of the Platform from time to time. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes that significantly impact the functionality available to your Organization Workspace.

We will attempt to schedule maintenance during off-peak hours when reasonably possible and will provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance when practicable.

If we are compelled by law, regulation, or court order to disclose Organization Content, we will promptly notify you (unless legally prohibited from doing so) to enable you to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. We will disclose only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with the legal requirement.
8.3 Confidentiality Obligations Upon Termination
Upon termination of this Agreement, we will return or destroy Organization Content in accordance with Section 10.7, subject to any retention obligations imposed by law or our legitimate business needs (such as for billing records or defending legal claims).

- Retention for Legal Compliance: Notwithstanding the deletion provisions above, we may retain Organization Content to the extent and for the period required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process, or to the extent necessary to resolve disputes, enforce this Agreement, or comply with our legitimate business needs (such as maintaining billing records or defending against legal claims). We will delete such retained data once the legal, regulatory, or business need for retention no longer exists, unless we are required to retain it for a longer period. Any Organization Content we retain after the Retrieval Period will be retained in accordance with our data retention policies and will continue to be treated as Confidential Information subject to the confidentiality obligations in Section 8.
- No Obligation to Restore Deleted Content: Once Organization Content has been deleted from our systems (whether at your request, upon expiration of the Retrieval Period, or otherwise), we have no obligation and may have no ability to recover or restore such content. Deletion is permanent and irreversible.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement:
- We will cease providing Platform services to you, except for the limited access necessary for data retrieval during the Retrieval Period.
- We will return or destroy your Confidential Information as described in Section 8.4, except for Organization Content which is governed by Section 10.7 and except as necessary for our legal compliance or legitimate business needs.
- We will cease processing personal data in Organization Content on your behalf, except for the limited processing necessary to provide access during the Retrieval Period or as required by law.

However, upon termination, all Authorized Users will immediately lose access to your Organization Workspace and all Organization Content. Authorized Users will not have independent rights to retrieve Organization Content; data retrieval rights belong to you as the organization.
If you wish to ensure that specific Authorized Users no longer have access to the Platform at all, you should remove them from your Organization Workspace.
