Nactivate Terms of Service

Updated January 26, 2023

Our Terms of Service is a contract between you and Nactivate. It describes the services we will provide to you, how we will work together, and other aspects of our business relationship. It is a legal document so some of the language is necessarily “legalese”, but we have tried to make it as readable as possible. These terms are so important that we cannot provide our products and services to you unless you agree to them. By using the Subscription Service or receiving the Consulting Services, you are agreeing to these terms.

We periodically update these terms. If you have an active Nactivate subscription, we will let you know when we do via an email or an in-app notification.

Finally, we know legal terms can sometimes be difficult to navigate, so we wanted to give you a roadmap of the Agreement:

DEFINITIONS.  This is where we provide the detail on what the key defined terms in the Agreement mean. You can think of this kind of like a contractual dictionary.

GENERAL COMMERCIAL TERMS.  Here’s where you can find the basics about how our Subscription Service and Consulting Services are provided. For example, you can find information on access and acceptable use. These terms apply to all of our products and service offerings.

SUBSCRIPTION TERMS.  Customers of ours subscribe to use our software (yep, it’s SaaS), and there are some fundamental terms that apply to each subscription. There are some differences between the different types of subscriptions, and here’s where you can find that detail.

PRODUCT DISCLOSURES. We offer several different products and there are some important things to know before you use them. We’ve collected these important things to know and you can find them here.

GENERAL LEGAL TERMS.  As we mention above, this is a contract, and contracts are filled with legal terms. In this section, we’ve collected many of the remaining legal terms that make up our Customer Terms of Service.

EU 1. GDPR TERMS FOR CUSTOMERS IN EUROPE

EU 1.1 Effective Date and Definitions.

These additional terms will apply to you from January 1, 2021, where you are a Customer of Nactivate and are operating as a “data controller” (as that term is defined in the GDPR) in your use of the Subscription Service.

The terms “personal data,” “data subject,” “processing,” and “processor” shall have the meanings given to those terms respectively in the GDPR.

 

EU 1.2 Processing Instruction.

By requesting the Subscription Service and agreeing to these Terms and the Nactivate Privacy Policy, you are providing us with instructions to process any personal data collected by you through the Subscription Service, on your behalf.

 

EU 1.3 Customer Obligations.

You shall ensure and hereby warrant and represent that you are entitled to transfer personal data to Nactivate so that Nactivate may lawfully process and transfer the personal data in accordance with these Terms. You shall ensure that relevant data subjects have been informed of, and have given their consent to, such use, processing, and transfer as required by all applicable data protection laws and have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality and legality of personal data processed by Nactivate in the provision of the Subscription Service.

 

EU 1.4 Nactivate Obligations.

Where Nactivate is processing personal data on your behalf, it will:

(a) only do so on your documented instructions and in accordance with applicable law, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization, and the parties agree that these terms and the Nactivate Privacy Policy constitute such documented instructions;

(b) ensure that all Nactivate personnel involved in the processing of personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality;

(c) where applicable to you and where it is technically feasible, make available information necessary for you to demonstrate compliance with your obligations under Article 28 of the GDPR, where such information is held by Nactivate and is not otherwise available to you through your account and user areas or on Nactivate websites, provided that you provide Nactivate with at least 14 days’ written notice of such an information request;

(d) promptly notify you of all requests received directly from a data subject in respect of that data subject’s personal data submitted through the Subscription Service;

(e) upon deletion by you, not retain personal data from within your account other than in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations and as may otherwise be kept in routine backup copies made for disaster recovery and business continuity purposes (which are also deleted no later than 9-12 months after data is deleted from an account); and

(f) to the extent reasonably able, assist you as reasonably required (at your expense) where you wish to conduct a data protection impact assessment involving the Subscription Service.

 

EU 1.5 Nactivate sub-processors.

Nactivate may use trusted partners in facilitating certain elements of our Subscription Service (“sub-processors”). By agreeing to these Terms, you provide a general authorization to Nactivate to engage onward sub-processors, subject to compliance with the requirements set out here. If you wish to receive a list of sub-processors who handle personal data for Nactivate please submit your request to legal@nactivate.com. Upon completion of your request and entry of your details through our system, you will receive updates when we add any new sub-processors to this list and you will have 15 days to object to any additions to the list before the change is implemented by us. If you object to a particular sub-processor, who we cannot disassociate from your Subscription Service, your sole remedy will be to terminate your subscription relating to the Subscription Service that cannot be reasonably provided without the objected-to new sub-processor. Such termination will be without a right of refund for any fees prepaid by you for the period following termination.

EU 1.6 Liability.

Nactivate will be liable for the acts and omissions of its sub-processors to the same extent Nactivate would be liable if performing the services of each of those sub-processors directly under these Terms, except as otherwise set forth in these Terms and Nactivate ensures that all sub-processors on the sub-processor list are bound by contractual terms that are in all material respects no less onerous than those contained in these Terms.

EU 1.7 Security Measures.

Nactivate has, taking into account the state of the art, cost of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the Subscription Service and the level of risk, implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss of and/or damage to your personal data. At reasonable intervals, Nactivate tests and evaluates the effectiveness of these technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.

EU 1.8 Security Incident.

If Nactivate becomes aware of any unauthorized or unlawful access to, or acquisition, alteration, use, disclosure, or destruction of, personal data (“Security Incident”), Nactivate will take reasonable steps to notify you without undue delay, but in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware of the Security Incident. Nactivate will also reasonably cooperate with you with respect to any investigations relating to a Security Incident with preparing any required notices, and provide any other information reasonably requested by you in relation to any Security Incident, where such information is not already available to you in your account or online through updates provided by Nactivate.

EU 1.9 Audits.

You will allow one month for Nactivate to respond to any audit request which you make. No person/party conducting an audit on your behalf (“Auditor”), shall be, or shall act on behalf of, a competitor of Nactivate. You will only be entitled to conduct an audit once per year (during the course of a 12 month subscription) unless otherwise legally compelled or required by a regulator with established authority over you to perform or facilitate the performance of more than one (1) audit in that same year (in which circumstances you and Nactivate will, in advance of any such audits, agree upon a reasonable reimbursement rate for Nactivate’s audit expenses). The scope of an audit will be as follows (unless you are compelled by a regulator with authority over the processing activities involving the Subscription Service to vary this format for audit):

(a) Nactivate agrees, subject to any appropriate and reasonable confidentiality restrictions, to provide evidence of any certifications and compliance standards it maintains and will, on request, make available to you an executive summary of Nactivate’s (or Nactivate affiliate’s) most recent penetration tests, which summary shall include remedial actions taken by Nactivate resulting from such penetration tests.

(b) The scope of the certifications and penetration tests provided will be limited to Nactivate systems, processes, and documentation relevant to the processing and protection of personal data undertaken for the Subscription Service obtained by you, and Auditor will conduct audits subject to any appropriate and reasonable confidentiality restrictions requested by Nactivate.

(c) You will promptly notify and provide Nactivate with full details regarding any perceived non-compliance or security concerns discovered during the course of an audit.

The parties agree that, except as otherwise required by order or other binding decree of a regulator with authority over you, this section sets out the entire scope of your audit rights as against Nactivate.

EU 1.10 International Transfer.

To the extent applicable, Nactivate relies upon standard contractual clauses, for data transfer to the United States. Nactivate also relies on standard contractual clauses for data transfers to other third parties based in countries outside the European Economic Area, the United States, or countries that do not have adequate levels of data protection as determined by the European Commission. To the extent applicable, you appoint Nactivate as your agent for purposes of entering into any standard contractual clauses for such purposes on your behalf under these Terms.

EU 1.11 Liability for Data Processing.

The parties’ respective aggregate liability whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise for any and all claims arising out of or in connection with this Section EU 1 shall be as set out in these terms, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
