If You do not agree to these Terms, You must not view (including during a demo), use or access the Service. If You are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, You represent that You have the authority to bind that company to these Terms. If You have purchased a license to use AODocs through an Altirnao reseller or through the Google Cloud Platform marketplace, You also agree to comply with the terms of any agreement between You and such reseller or Google. In the event of an inconsistency between these Terms and any such reseller agreements, these Terms shall control.

If you assist to a demo, register for a free trial or a proof of concept (POC) of the Service, these Terms will also govern that demo, free trial or POC, unless otherwise provided herein.

If you access to and/or use the AODocs API, the AODocs API Materials and/or the API Integrations (as defined in the API Agreement), you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in the AODocs API Services & Licenses Agreement available, in its most recent version, at the following link: https://www.aodocs.com/api/terms-of-service (the “API Agreement”).

Description of Service

AODocs is an online document management solution that comprises several modules, as may be purchased by You through an order form, such as a Web application located at https://aodocs.altirnao.com, a Chrome extension, migration tools, business connectors, a document retention module, tools to bulk upload or bulk update documents, and any such additional module(s) that Altirnao may release to its customers from time to time. The order form may also specify, to the extent applicable, optional modules developed by third party providers and made available to You separate from the Service (“Third Party Integrated Modules”).

Certain enhancements to the Service made generally available at no cost to all subscribing customers of the Service will be made available to Customer at no additional charge. However, the availability of some new enhancements to the Service (including additional module(s)) may require the payment of additional fees, and Altirnao will determine at its sole discretion whether access to any other such new enhancements will require an additional fee.

The Service is provided subject to these Terms and solely for Your internal business purposes. You may connect to the Service using any Internet browser supported by the Service.

The Service may be offered for Google Workspace customers (“AODocs for Google Workspace”) or independently from Google Workspace (“AODocs Multi-Cloud”). In the absence of express specification of “AODocs Multi-Cloud” in an Order Form, the Service provided is AODocs for Google Workspace (and in such case the applicable workspace domain shall be mentioned in the Order Form). For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly specified as applying to AODocs for Google Workspace or to AODocs Multi-Cloud, all the provisions of these Terms of Service apply to both cases.

In the case of AODocs for Google Workspace (i) the Service requires one or more Google Workspace account(s)with enough Google Drive storage quota to accommodate for the use of the Service, that will be the owner(s) of all files stored and managed by the Service (ii) the Service stores all the files that it stores and manages for You in the Google Drive account(s) that You will assign to AODocs when You deploy AODocs. 

 

You understand and acknowledge that You are solely responsible for obtaining the Internet access and all equipment necessary to use the Service, for appropriately (i) in the case of AODocs for Google Workspace, configuring Your Google Workspace account(s) and for allocating a sufficient number of accounts and sufficient Google Drive storage space to allow proper operation of the Service; and/or (ii) in the case of AODocs Multi-Cloud, appropriately configuring your own cloud file storage, allocating sufficient storage space to allow proper operation of the Service, should you decide not to store your Content in AOdocs’ own cloud file storage, in each case as per the recommendation of Altirnao’s technical support or product documentation. You understand and acknowledge that, in the case of AODocs Multi-Cloud, if Your Content is hosted on AODocs’ own cloud file storage, the Order Form may include limitations in particular in terms of storage space.

 

In the case of AODocs for Google Workspace, You also understand and agree that content you store through your use of the Service will be made available to Google as part of Google providing the Google Workspace service. All fees associated with the foregoing shall be paid by You.

 

In the case of AODocs Multi-Cloud, should you decide not to store your Content in AODocs’ own cloud file storage, You also understand and agree that all fees associated with such storage shall be paid by You and AODocs shall have no liability towards You or any third party should the Service be interrupted or disrupted due to non-payment of such fees or disruptions affecting your cloud file storage service.

Purchase Orders: The legal terms and conditions on any purchase order, confirmation, or similar document submitted by the Customer to Altirnao (including without limitation those which are in contradiction with this Agreement, or those added by the Customer on documents submitted by Altirnao to the Customer without written approval from Altirnao) will have no effect and are hereby rejected.

Use of the Service

Access to Service:  Access to and use of the Service is only available to the Customer and the end users (“Users”) to whom Customer has purchased individual user licenses and granted  access, and limited to the components that are included in the licenses Customer has purchased. 

Upon registration with Altirnao, Customer will specify the email address of an account (the "Account"), which will be granted access to the Service.  

In the case of AODocs for Google Workspace, Customer is solely responsible for granting the Service access to Customer’s Google Workspace files and revoking such access when Customer ceases use of the Service.

In the case of AODocs Multi-Cloud, Customer is solely responsible for granting the Service access to Customer’s own cloud file storage, should the Customer decide not to have its Content hosted on AODocs’ own cloud file storage.

Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Customer’s password and securing the Account and the Users’ accounts against unauthorized access.  Customer agrees not to share its password with anyone other than Users, let anyone else access its password or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of its password.  Customer agrees to notify Altirnao if Customer’s password is lost, stolen or disclosed to an unauthorized third party, if there is any unauthorized use of its password or Account or any User’s account, or if Customer learns of any other breach of security in relation to the Service.  Customer is solely responsible for any and all activities that occur through the use of Customer’s Account or Users’ accounts. Altirnao has no control over the administration operations carried out by Customer on Customer’s Google Workspacedomain or or Customer’s own cloud file storage. Such operations may negatively impact the Service’s performance, safety and efficacy and are carried out at Customer’s own risk. Customer must refer to the Service documentation before carrying out operations on Customer’s Google Workspace domain or on Customer’s own cloud file storage, and waives any and all claims it may have against Altirnao with respect to any such operations’ impact on the Service.

License to Customer:  Subject to Customer’s compliance with these Terms, the Google Cloud Platform Acceptable Use Policy (available at https://cloud.google.com/terms/aup) and the terms and conditions of any Third Party Offering or any Third Party Integrated Module, including, without limitation, Customer’s payment of all applicable fees, directly to Altirnao or indirectly to a reseller or Google (through the GCP Marketplace) or its own cloud storage service, as applicable, Altirnao hereby grants Customer a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service (and, if applicable, the Third Party Integrated Modules), solely for Customer’s own internal business use, and not for timesharing, application service provider or service bureau use.

Customer is at all times fully responsible and liable for all acts and omissions by Users to whom Customer has granted access to the Service (and, if applicable, Third Party Offerings and/or Third Party Integrated Modules) and Customer agrees to indemnify Altirnao for all claims and losses related to any such acts and/or omissions. 

Each user license ordered by Customer is specific to the email address of only one User. Once a User has accessed the Service, such User’s license shall be deemed utilized until expiration of the applicable license term. Customer acknowledges that if the number of User Licenses ordered by Customer is insufficient to provide access to the Service to all Users, Users without License might be denied access to the Service.  The Service shall be deemed accessed by User if and when (i) User accesses any functionality of the Service through any User interface or any add-on plug-in connected to the Service through the Service’s APIs, or (ii) User accesses a Google Drive file managed by the Service (in the case of AODocs for Google Workspace), or (iii) User accesses a document (regardless of where such document is located) held in any system that originates, directly or indirectly, from a document control process managed by the Service. 

Altirnao reserves the right to terminate unpaid AODocs accounts and AODocs accounts that are inactive for a continuous period of ninety (90) days. In case of AODocs account with more than one User, if at least one of the Users is active, the AODocs account will not be considered inactive. Altirnao will provide Customer with prior notice of such termination.

Altirnao will delete the hosted content controlled by Altirnao on Altirnao’s system promptly (with the understanding that certain backup copies of such content maintained by Altirnao’s cloud providers may require some additional time to be deleted) following Licensee's written request. Customer shall be responsible for revoking the Service’s (and, if applicable, Third Party Integrated Modules’) access to Customer's Google Workspace domain data and files or Customer’s own cloud file storage, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Altirnao may retain a copy of Customer metadata and audit log information stored in standard archival or computer back-up systems pursuant applicable law and regulations and/or Altirnao’s document retention policies. Moreover, some information like billing and subscription may remain with us for accounting and legal reasons.

Payment of recurring fees other than in advance on an annual basis (for example, payment through the GCP Marketplace) shall not be construed as providing Customer a right to terminate its subscription prior to the license term applicable to Customer. 

In case of non-payment for any reason (including, if applicable, Altirnao’s inability to charge your credit card or other payment method for any reason) or any violation of these Terms, Altirnao shall be entitled – without liability – to immediately suspend Customer’s and Users’ access to the Service.
