Customer agrees that its purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments (e.g., on any website or publication) made by Ontra regarding future functionality or features.
- Service Updates. From time to time on an as-available basis, Ontra may make upgrades, updates, modifications, patches, fixes or similar additions to the Services for use by Customer without additional charge (“Updates”).

- Each Party reserves all rights not expressly granted to the other Party in these General Terms.
- Proof of Value. To the extent Ontra, in its sole discretion and subject to the terms set forth in the applicable Order Form, offers to make certain Services available free of charge, Ontra will grant to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (except solely to Authorized Users), revocable, non-transferable right to access and use the Services during the POV Term set forth in the applicable Order Form, solely to evaluate whether to purchase a paid license for such Services (the “POV License”). Such POV License shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) either Party’s cancellation, (ii) the expiry of the POV Term, or (iii) Customer’s purchase of a paid license for the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, Ontra does not guarantee that the Services will be available for Customer’s continued use after the POV Term unless and until Customer purchases a paid license for such Services.
- Authorized Users.
- The Services may only be used or accessed by the Authorized Users, and such use or access may require the creation of an online account with Ontra, in accordance with Ontra’s Terms of Service (available at https://www.ontra.ai/terms-and-conditions/), as may be amended and updated from time to time (the “End User Terms”) and these General Terms. Ontra may assign a unique user account (a “User Account”) and accompanying account credentials (the “User Credentials”), which will allow each Authorized User to access and use the Services, including to display, list, remove, modify or edit certain data related to the Customer Documents and/or corporate information in accordance with the relevant Documentation.

- Customer will not permit sharing of User Accounts or User Credentials, or otherwise permit any Authorized User to access or use the Services without having agreed to the End User Terms. Ontra shall have no obligation to make the Services accessible to any person who does not agree to the End-User Terms or is not an Authorized User; provided, that Ontra shall be responsible for making available to each Authorized User Ontra’s then-effective End-User Terms.
- Customer shall use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of the relevant provisions of these General Terms as applicable to such Authorized User’s use of the Services. Customer shall be fully responsible for all acts and omissions of any Authorized Users that is an employee of Customer (each, a “Personnel User”) that would constitute a breach of these General Terms if performed by Customer as if such act or omission was performed by Customer. Customer shall not, and shall ensure that its Authorized Users do not, upload any Customer Data in violation of this Agreement (including with respect to Section 3(d)below). In addition, Customer shall immediately notify Ontra in writing in the event it reasonably suspects or becomes aware of any unauthorized access or use of any User Account, the Platform, or the Services, or the loss or compromise of any User Credentials, and Ontra may in its sole discretion and without liability, suspend access to the affected User Account until any suspected or actual unauthorized access is resolved.

- Restricted Data. Customer shall not, or permit any Authorized User to upload, provide or otherwise post to the Platform information or materials outside the scope of the Services, including any protected health information, personal and consumer financial information, or any “sensitive” or “special categories” of Personal Data (as defined under applicable Data Protection Laws) (“Restricted Data”). In the event Customer or its Authorized Users upload any Restricted Data to the Platform, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Ontra shall not be responsible and will have no liability to Customer or any Authorized User for such Restricted Data. For the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Data shall not be considered “Personal Data” as defined in the DPA.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, solely to the extent the Derivative Data is aggregated and anonymized (collectively, “Aggregated Data”), Ontra owns and retains all rights, title and interest in and to such Aggregated Data. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) in no event will Aggregated Data identify Customer, its Affiliates, or any other individual person or entity (including a counterparty) identified in the Customer Data or be identifiable as having originated from Customer or its Affiliates and (ii) nothing in this Section 3(f) shall or is intended to limit or modify the obligations of Ontra with respect to confidentiality as set forth in Section 7 below or its obligations in the DPA.
- Platform Suspension Event. All or a portion of the Platform may be temporarily unavailable, impaired, or suspended by Ontra due to any of the following: (i) scheduled maintenance that Customer has been notified of in advance, (ii) unscheduled emergency maintenance, (iii) if Ontra determines that Customer or an Authorized User’s use of or access to the Platform (A) is being used in breach of these General Terms or (B) is causing, or may cause, immediate, material or ongoing harm to Ontra, the Platform, Ontra’s Affiliate, another customer of Ontra or its Affiliate or any of their respective vendors; (iv) Customer’s failure to pay any Fees within thirty (30) days of such Fees becoming due and payable; (v) one or more third party vendors suspending or terminating Ontra’s access to or use of its products or services that are required to enable Customer or an Authorized User to access or use the Platform; or (vi) as a result of any governing legal or regulatory decree, guidance or opinion (the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) a “Platform Suspension Event”).
- Result of a Platform Suspension Event. If a Platform Suspension Event occurs, Ontra shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the Platform as soon as reasonably practicable following Ontra’s determination (in its sole discretion) that such Platform Suspension Event has been resolved. Ontra will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, or losses of any kind that may result from a Platform Suspension Event. All rights in this Section 4(b) are intended to be cumulative of and in addition to, and nothing herein shall be considered a waiver of Ontra’s rights under Section 3(d) hereof.
- Fees. Customer shall pay Ontra the Fees without offset or deduction in accordance with this Section 5.

All other Fees shall be invoiced monthly, in each case, unless otherwise specified on the Order Form. All Fees shall be due and payable by Customer within thirty (30) days after the date of Customer’s receipt of the applicable invoice. In the event Customer requires Ontra to incur any costs in order to invoice Customer for the Fees, including by requiring Ontra to use a third-party billing product or service that requires Ontra to obtain a paid license for such use or payment processor costs, Customer shall reimburse Ontra for all such costs. In the event that Customer disputes the amount set forth in any invoice, Customer will notify Ontra promptly following Customer’s receipt of such invoice, and the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, that Customer shall not be entitled to withhold any portion of the Fees that remains undisputed.
- Late Fee. If Customer fails to pay any undisputed Fees within fifteen (15) days after the time when such Fees become due and payable, Ontra may, without limiting its other rights and remedies hereunder, charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month calculated daily and compounded monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law until such amount is fully paid. Customer shall reimburse Ontra for all reasonable and documented costs incurred by Ontra in collecting any late payments and/or interest amounts, including lawyers’ fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.

All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer set forth on the Order Form are exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature however designated, including, without limitation, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer shall be solely responsible for payment of all Taxes on any amounts payable by Customer arising from its use of or access to the Services, excluding Taxes based solely on Ontra’s net income. If Ontra is deemed to have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides Ontra with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
