1. Preamble

This SaaS Subscription Agreement (”the Agreement”) between you and ClearVoyage ApS. (“ClearVoyage”) sets out the terms and conditions on which ClearVoyage licenses its services (“the Service”), whether free or chargeable, to you. Your use of the Service is subject to your acceptance of this Agreement and the commercial agreement setting out the details of the license granted to you by ClearVoyage (collectively “the Agreements”). Unless you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreements you do not have authority to access and use the Service. ClearVoyage reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to amend, change, add to or delete any parts of this Agreement at its convenience. Your continued use of the Service after such changes signifies your acceptance of the new Agreement. Being a binding legal contract between you and ClearVoyage it is recommended that you save a copy for your records.

  1. License

ClearVoyage will grant you a license to the Service for which you have contracted under the terms and conditions of the Agreements. You acknowledge that the Service may be offered at various separately priced license levels (the “Licenses”) and you will be granted License only to the Services for which you have contracted and are paying all agreed license and other fees. The Service is described in detail in the Agreements.

You may upgrade to higher level of Services, as and if available, at any time during the term of this Agreement by request to ClearVoyage. Upon confirmation of any such upgrade by ClearVoyage, your previous License Agreement will be terminated, and a new set of Agreements will be drawn up, detailing the Services and the corresponding license fee, which you agree to pay. Access to the new License will be granted upon your payment of the difference in license fee for the remainder of the License period. The new license fee will be invoiced in full as from the next License renewal date.

ClearVoyage reserves the right to modify, enhance, extend, or supplement the Service at any time at its sole discretion and shall notify you about any material changes no later than 30 days prior to such changes being released.

  1. Contracting

Such registration data shall include, but not be limited to, your company name, registered number, office address, VAT registration number (EU countries), name of authorized officer, email address, invoicing details and other contractual information. ClearVoyage reserves the right to refuse, at its sole discretion, the granting of License or activation of Service for any reason and shall not be obliged to divulge its reasons for such refusal. Access to the Service shall be granted by ClearVoyage upon receipt of payment for the License as invoiced.

ClearVoyage recommends that you protect your password and access to the devices that you use to access the Service in order to prevent fraudulent access to the Service.
