  1. DataSafe Sign use and access

    We grant you a licence to access and use DataSafe Sign for your business purposes on the basis of the Terms and Conditions. This is a non-exclusive licence and you cannot transfer it.

  2. e-Signing Service

    DataSafe Sign includes a paid service (the “e-Signing Service”) that enables the electronic signing of an electronic document (“Electronic Document”) and messages relating to the electronic signing (“e-Signing Messages”).

    The e-Signing Service may not be available in all jurisdictions. You must not use the e-Signing Service if it would be unlawful in the jurisdiction where you use it.

    The e-Signing Service does not make us a party to any Electronic Document.

    You are solely responsible for the content of an Electronic Document and any e-Signing Messages (collectively, “User Content”). We do not have access to, or control of, User Content unless you specifically request us.

    You grant us a licence to use the User Content solely to provide the e-Signing Service and to comply with laws.

    We do not verify or endorse any User Content but may reject, move, edit, or remove User Content at our discretion, if it does not comply with these Terms and Conditions or laws or we find it objectionable.

    We do not represent or warrant that the e-Signing Service will be legally effective for the execution of Electronic Documents.

    We are not responsible for deciding how long Electronic Documents should be retained, and we do not have any obligation to produce User Content to third parties (except as required by law).

    Some consumer protection laws have special rules for electronic transactions with consumers, including getting their consent and providing paper records. We are not responsible for identifying whether a transaction involves a consumer, getting or tracking consumer consent, providing information about consent, reviewing or updating legal disclosures, providing paper copies, or following any special consumer protection requirements. You must comply with those rules and requirements.

    If you are a business then you agree that the person who is nominated to us as the administrator for the business has the authority to instruct us on the use of the e-Signing Service.

  3. Plans and fees

    The features and options available for the e-Signing Service may depend on the plan that you have chosen. Our website publishes the features and options for standard plans. For other plans (“Enterprise Plans”), the features and options will be notified to you in writing when you subscribe to the plan.

    The price and features of plans may change. We aim to give advance notice of significant changes where practicable.

    You must pay all fees as required for your plan. All payments are non-refundable unless specifically stated in these Terms and Conditions. We will bill you in advance for subscription plans, while per-use charges will be billed when you use the e-Signing Service.
