Terms of Service

1. Definitions

In these Terms, the following capitalised terms shall have the meanings set out below. Where a defined term is used in the singular, it shall include the plural and vice versa, unless the context requires otherwise.

"Account"

means the registered user account created by the Customer to access and administer the Service, including all associated credentials, configuration settings, and team member sub-accounts.

"AI Classification"

means the automated categorisation of cookies and similar tracking technologies detected on a Customer Domain, performed by the Service's machine-learning models to assign each technology to a consent category (e.g., strictly necessary, functional, analytics, or marketing).

"Beacon Script"

means the JavaScript snippet provided by the Service that the Customer embeds on their Customer Domains to display the consent banner, collect Visitor Consent Data, and manage cookie behaviour in the Visitor's browser.

"Confidential Information"

means any non-public information disclosed by one party to the other in connection with these Terms, whether disclosed orally, in writing, or electronically, that is designated as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, business plans, technical data, product roadmaps, pricing information, customer lists, and source code.

"Consent Record"

means the tamper-evident, timestamped log entry generated by the Service each time a Visitor grants, withdraws, or modifies consent preferences on a Customer Domain, including the Visitor's anonymised identifier, the consent choices made, the version of the banner presented, and the applicable jurisdiction.

"Customer Data"

means all data that the Customer or its authorised users upload, submit, or otherwise transmit to the Service, including but not limited to Account configuration data, cookie declaration data, banner customisation settings, and domain lists, but excluding Visitor Consent Data.

"Customer Domain"

means any website domain or subdomain registered by the Customer within the Service on which the Beacon Script is deployed.

"DSR"

means a Data Subject Request (including access, erasure, portability, correction, and restriction requests) as defined under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation), or any equivalent right under applicable data protection legislation.

"Documentation"

means the user guides, API references, integration instructions, and other technical or operational documentation made available by WLC in connection with the Service, whether published on the Service's website, within the dashboard, or provided separately.

"Fees"

means the subscription charges, usage-based charges, and any other amounts payable by the Customer to WLC for access to and use of the Service, as set out on the pricing page or in an applicable order form.

"Malicious Code"

"Plan"

means the specific tier of Service selected by the Customer (Starter, Growth, Business, or Enterprise), each of which provides different feature sets, usage limits, and support levels as described on the pricing page or in an applicable order form.

"Visitor"

means any natural person who accesses a Customer Domain on which the Beacon Script is deployed and who is presented with a consent banner or whose consent preferences are managed by the Service.

"Visitor Consent Data"

means all data collected by the Service from or about Visitors in connection with the operation of the Beacon Script, including Consent Records, anonymised browser identifiers, consent preferences, geolocation data used for jurisdiction detection, and aggregated analytics derived therefrom.

2. The Service

Pritect Beacon is a cloud-based consent management platform ("CMP") that enables website operators to detect cookies and similar tracking technologies on their domains, present configurable consent banners to Visitors, record and store Consent Records, and generate compliance reports. The Service includes a web-based dashboard, the Beacon Script, APIs, AI Classification capabilities, a regulation database, and related Documentation.

Not Legal Advice. The Service is a technical compliance tool and does not constitute legal advice. WLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance consulting services. The information presented through the Service, including regulation summaries, AI Classification outputs, and suggested banner configurations, is provided for informational purposes only. You are solely responsible for determining the legal requirements applicable to your business and ensuring that your use of the Service meets those requirements. WLC strongly recommends that you consult with qualified legal counsel regarding your specific compliance obligations.

AI Classification Disclaimers. The AI Classification feature uses machine-learning models to automatically categorise cookies and tracking technologies detected on Customer Domains. While WLC endeavours to maintain high classification accuracy, AI Classification results are probabilistic and may contain errors. The Customer is solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and, where necessary, correcting AI Classification outputs before publishing any consent banner. WLC makes no representation or warranty that AI Classification results are accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular regulatory purpose.

Regulation Database. The Service includes a database of privacy regulations and regional compliance requirements. This database is maintained by WLC on a reasonable-efforts basis and is updated periodically. WLC does not warrant that the regulation database is exhaustive, current, or error-free. Changes in law, regulatory guidance, or enforcement practice may not be reflected in the database immediately or at all.

Beacon Script Performance. The Beacon Script is designed to load asynchronously and to minimise impact on Customer Domain page-load performance. WLC optimises the Beacon Script for speed and efficiency, but cannot guarantee specific performance metrics on any given Customer Domain due to factors outside WLC's control, including the Customer's hosting environment, third-party scripts, and Visitor device capabilities.

Availability. WLC targets 99.9% uptime for the Service's core infrastructure (the consent collection endpoint and Beacon Script delivery). This target is a commercial objective and does not constitute a service-level agreement ("SLA") or give rise to any right to credits, refunds, or damages. Scheduled maintenance windows, force majeure events, and actions or omissions of the Customer or third parties are excluded from any availability calculation. Enterprise Plan customers may negotiate a separate SLA as part of a custom order form.

3. Account Registration and Security

Account Creation. To use the Service, you must create an Account by providing accurate and complete registration information, including a valid business email address and your organisation's name. You agree to keep your Account information current and accurate at all times. WLC reserves the right to refuse registration or cancel Accounts at its discretion if it reasonably believes that registration information is inaccurate, incomplete, or fraudulent.

Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials, including passwords, API keys, and access tokens. You must implement reasonable security measures, including the use of strong passwords and, where available, multi-factor authentication. You must notify WLC immediately at legal@pritect.ai upon becoming aware of any unauthorised access to or use of your Account. WLC shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your Account credentials.

Team Members. The Account owner may invite additional users ("Team Members") to access the Account in accordance with the permissions and role-based access controls provided by the Service and the limits of the applicable Plan. The Account owner is responsible for the actions of all Team Members and for ensuring that each Team Member complies with these Terms.

Eligibility. The Service is intended for use by businesses, organisations, and professionals. By creating an Account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are creating an Account on behalf of an organisation, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

Business Use. The Service is designed for business and professional use. Accounts are intended to be created and managed by legal entities or individuals acting in a professional capacity. WLC does not offer the Service for personal, family, or household use.

4. Plans, Fees, and Payment

Plans. The Service is offered across multiple Plans: Starter, Growth, Business, and Enterprise. Each Plan provides a defined set of features, usage limits (including the number of Customer Domains, monthly Visitor consent events, and Team Member seats), and support levels as described on the pricing page. WLC reserves the right to modify the features and limits associated with each Plan, subject to Section 14 (Modifications).

Free Tier. The Starter Plan may be offered at no charge with limited features and usage allowances. WLC reserves the right to modify, restrict, or discontinue the free tier at any time without liability. Free-tier Accounts are subject to these Terms in full, except where specific provisions expressly apply only to paid Plans.

Paid Plans. Paid Plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, as selected by the Customer at the time of subscription. Annual Plans are billed as a single upfront payment for the full subscription year.

Payment Processing. All payments are processed through Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe") or such other payment processor as WLC may designate from time to time. By subscribing to a paid Plan, you authorise WLC and its payment processor to charge your designated payment method for all applicable Fees. You agree to comply with the payment processor's terms of service. WLC does not store your full payment card details on its own servers.

Auto-Renewal. Paid Plans automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually) unless you cancel before the renewal date through the Service's billing settings. Upon renewal, the then-current Fees for your Plan will apply.

Price Changes. WLC may increase Fees for any Plan by providing at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Customer via email or in-dashboard notification. Price increases shall take effect at the start of the next billing period following the notice period. If you do not agree to a price increase, you may cancel your subscription before the increase takes effect.

Usage Limits. Each Plan includes defined usage limits. If the Customer exceeds the usage limits of their Plan during a billing period, WLC may, at its discretion: (a) notify the Customer and request an upgrade to a higher Plan; (b) apply overage charges as published on the pricing page; or (c) throttle or restrict Service functionality until the Customer upgrades or the next billing period begins. WLC will use reasonable efforts to notify the Customer before imposing restrictions.

Non-Refundability. All Fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in these Terms or as required by applicable law. This includes, without limitation, partial-period Fees following cancellation, Fees for unused features, and Fees for periods during which the Customer did not actively use the Service.

Taxes. All Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, levies, and duties, including value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), and sales tax. The Customer is responsible for paying all such taxes, except for taxes based on WLC's net income. If WLC is required to collect or remit taxes on the Customer's behalf, such taxes will be invoiced to the Customer and added to the applicable Fees.

Late Payment. If any amount owed by the Customer is overdue, WLC may charge interest on the outstanding balance at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. WLC may also suspend access to the Service until all outstanding amounts, including accrued interest, have been paid in full. The Customer shall reimburse WLC for all reasonable costs incurred in collecting overdue amounts, including legal fees.

5. Customer Responsibilities

Lawful Use. The Customer shall use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC, the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados ("LGPD"), and any other applicable privacy or data protection legislation.

Banner Configuration. The Customer is solely responsible for configuring consent banners in a manner that is compliant with applicable laws and regulations. This includes, without limitation, ensuring that the banner text is accurate, that consent categories are correctly defined, that the banner is presented before non-essential cookies are set, and that Visitors are provided with a genuine and informed choice. WLC provides tools and templates to assist with configuration, but the Customer bears full responsibility for the final banner content and behaviour.

Cookie Declarations. The Customer is responsible for reviewing and maintaining accurate cookie declarations within the Service. While AI Classification may assist with initial categorisation, the Customer must verify that all cookies and tracking technologies on their Customer Domains are correctly identified, described, and categorised before publishing consent banners.

Customer Domains. The Customer shall only register Customer Domains that they own or are legally authorised to operate. The Customer is responsible for correctly implementing the Beacon Script on their Customer Domains in accordance with the Documentation.

Visitor Data. Where the Customer processes personal data of Visitors using the Service, the Customer acknowledges that it acts as a data controller (or the equivalent under applicable law) with respect to such data. The Customer shall maintain appropriate privacy notices, honour Visitor consent preferences, and respond to DSRs in accordance with applicable law.

Acceptable Use. The Customer shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

• use dark patterns, deceptive design, or misleading user interfaces in connection with the Service, including pre-checked consent boxes, confusing button labelling, or asymmetric choice architecture designed to steer Visitors towards accepting non-essential cookies;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or underlying algorithms of the Service or any part thereof;
• copy, modify, create derivative works of, or distribute the Beacon Script, the Service's dashboard, or any other component of the Service, except as expressly permitted in these Terms;
• use the Service to transmit Malicious Code or any material that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party;
• access or attempt to access accounts, data, or systems belonging to other customers of the Service;
• use the Service to process personal data of children in violation of applicable child-protection laws;
• sell, resell, sublicence, or otherwise make the Service available to third parties on a service-bureau, time-sharing, or similar basis without the prior written consent of WLC;
• use automated means (including bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to access or interact with the Service in a manner that exceeds reasonable use or circumvents usage limits;
• interfere with, disrupt, or impose an unreasonable burden on the Service's infrastructure.

Compliance Responsibility. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that WLC provides a technical platform to facilitate consent management and that the Customer retains full and sole responsibility for achieving and maintaining compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. WLC shall not be liable for any regulatory non-compliance, fines, penalties, or enforcement actions arising from the Customer's configuration, use, or misuse of the Service.

6. Intellectual Property

WLC Ownership. The Service, including all software, code, algorithms, user interfaces, designs, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, Documentation, and all intellectual property rights therein, is and shall remain the exclusive property of WLC and its licensors. These Terms do not grant the Customer any ownership interest in the Service. The Customer receives only a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service in accordance with these Terms and the applicable Plan during the subscription term.

Customer Data Ownership. As between the parties, the Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Customer Data. The Customer grants WLC a limited, non-exclusive licence to use, process, and store the Customer Data solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service.

Usage Data. WLC may collect and use aggregated, anonymised, and de-identified data derived from the Customer's use of the Service ("Usage Data") for purposes including service improvement, analytics, benchmarking, and the development of new features. Usage Data shall not identify the Customer, any Team Member, or any Visitor. WLC owns all rights in and to Usage Data.

Feedback. If the Customer provides WLC with any suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback regarding the Service ("Feedback"), the Customer hereby grants WLC an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, modify, and incorporate such Feedback into the Service without restriction or obligation to the Customer.

Licence Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, the Customer shall not: (a) sublicence, sell, lease, or otherwise transfer rights in the Service; (b) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on the Service; (c) use WLC's trademarks, trade names, or logos without prior written consent; or (d) frame, mirror, or create links to any part of the Service in a manner that suggests an association with or endorsement by WLC.

7. Data Processing and Privacy

Roles. With respect to Visitor Consent Data and any personal data processed through the Service on behalf of the Customer, the Customer acts as the data controller (or the equivalent role under applicable law) and WLC acts as the data processor. WLC shall process such personal data only on the documented instructions of the Customer and in accordance with these Terms and any applicable Data Processing Agreement ("DPA"). Enterprise Plan customers may request a separate DPA.

Consent Record Integrity. WLC takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to ensure the integrity and tamper-evidence of Consent Records. Consent Records are immutable once created and are retained for the duration specified in the Customer's Plan or as otherwise required by applicable law. WLC does not modify, delete, or alter Consent Records except at the Customer's documented instruction or as required by law.

Data Location. Visitor Consent Data and Customer Data are stored and processed within the European Economic Area ("EEA"). WLC shall not transfer such data outside the EEA unless: (a) the Customer has given prior written consent; (b) appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR, such as Standard Contractual Clauses; or (c) a derogation under Article 49 of the GDPR applies.

Sub-Processors. WLC may engage third-party sub-processors to assist in providing the Service. A current list of sub-processors is available in the Documentation or upon request. WLC shall notify the Customer of any intended changes to its sub-processors at least fourteen (14) days in advance. The Customer may object to a new sub-processor on reasonable grounds related to data protection. If WLC cannot reasonably accommodate the objection, either party may terminate the affected Service component. WLC shall ensure that each sub-processor is bound by data protection obligations no less protective than those set out in these Terms.

Security. WLC implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect Customer Data and Visitor Consent Data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include, but are not limited to, encryption of data at rest and in transit, access controls, regular security assessments, and incident response procedures. WLC shall notify the Customer without undue delay upon becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting the Customer's data.

CDN Delivery. The Beacon Script is delivered to Visitors via a content delivery network ("CDN") to optimise load times and availability. CDN edge nodes may be located outside the EEA. The Beacon Script itself does not contain personal data; however, the script's requests to the consent collection endpoint are routed to servers within the EEA for processing and storage.

8. Third-Party Integrations

The Service may integrate with or support interoperability with third-party products and services, including but not limited to Google Tag Manager ("GTM"), Google Analytics 4 ("GA4"), and Google Consent Mode v2. These integrations are provided as a convenience to the Customer and are subject to the following conditions:

• Google Tag Manager. The Service provides templates and instructions for integrating the Beacon Script with GTM. The Customer is responsible for correctly configuring GTM tags, triggers, and variables to respect Visitor consent preferences as communicated by the Beacon Script.
• Google Analytics 4. Where the Customer uses GA4, the Service can communicate Visitor consent signals to GA4 to enable or restrict data collection in accordance with consent preferences. The Customer remains solely responsible for its GA4 configuration and compliance with Google's terms of service.
• Google Consent Mode v2. The Service supports Google Consent Mode v2, which allows the Beacon Script to signal consent states to Google tags. Implementation of Consent Mode v2 is the Customer's responsibility, and the Customer should verify that consent signals are correctly received by Google services.
• No Responsibility for Third-Party Behaviour. WLC does not control, endorse, or assume any responsibility for the availability, accuracy, security, or behaviour of third-party products or services. Third-party integrations are governed by the respective third party's terms and policies. WLC shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or non-compliance arising from the Customer's use of or reliance on third-party integrations.

9. Warranty Disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement;
• any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;
• any warranty that the results obtained from the use of the Service will be accurate, reliable, or complete;
• any warranty that the Service will meet the Customer's requirements or expectations;
• any warranty that AI Classification results are accurate, complete, or free from error, or that they are suitable for determining compliance with any particular law, regulation, or standard;
• any warranty that the Service will ensure or guarantee the Customer's compliance with any applicable law, regulation, directive, or industry standard, including but not limited to the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA, or any other privacy or data protection legislation;
• any warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or currentness of the regulation database or any legal or regulatory information provided through the Service.

The Customer acknowledges that it uses the Service at its own risk and that WLC's liability is limited as set out in Section 10 below. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by the Customer from WLC or through the Service shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

10. Limitation of Liability

Exclusion of Indirect Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WLC, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WLC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Liability Cap. WLC's total aggregate liability to the Customer for all claims arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total Fees paid by the Customer to WLC during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) one hundred euros (EUR 100). This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise.

Excluded Claims. The limitations in this Section 10 shall not apply to: (a) either party's indemnification obligations under Section 11; (b) the Customer's obligation to pay Fees; (c) either party's liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or gross negligence; or (d) any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

Regulatory Fines Disclaimer. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that WLC shall have no liability for any fines, penalties, sanctions, or enforcement costs imposed on the Customer by any regulatory authority, supervisory authority, or court of law in connection with the Customer's use of the Service or the Customer's compliance or non-compliance with applicable laws. The Customer is solely responsible for its own regulatory compliance.

11. Indemnification

By WLC. WLC shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Customer and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from allegations that the Service, as provided by WLC and used in accordance with these Terms, infringes any third party's intellectual property rights. WLC's obligations under this paragraph shall not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (a) modification of the Service by the Customer or any third party; (b) use of the Service in combination with products, services, or technologies not provided or approved by WLC; (c) use of the Service in a manner not authorised by these Terms or the Documentation; or (d) the Customer's continued use of a version of the Service after WLC has provided a non-infringing replacement or modification.

By Customer. The Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or relating to: (a) the Customer's Customer Data or any content displayed through the consent banner; (b) the Customer's violation of applicable laws or regulations, including data protection and privacy laws; (c) the Customer's configuration of consent banners, cookie declarations, or other aspects of the Service; (d) any dispute between the Customer and a Visitor or data subject; or (e) the Customer's breach of these Terms.

The indemnified party shall: (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any claim; (ii) grant the indemnifying party sole control of the defence and settlement of the claim; and (iii) provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party's expense. The indemnifying party shall not settle any claim in a manner that imposes obligations on the indemnified party or admits fault on behalf of the indemnified party without the indemnified party's prior written consent.

12. Confidentiality

Definition. "Confidential Information" means any information disclosed by one party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party") in connection with these Terms that is designated as confidential or that, given the nature of the information or the circumstances of disclosure, a reasonable person would understand to be confidential. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available without breach of these Terms; (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to disclosure without any obligation of confidentiality; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information; or (d) is lawfully received from a third party without restriction on disclosure.

Obligations. The Receiving Party shall: (a) use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information solely for the purpose of exercising its rights and performing its obligations under these Terms; (b) protect the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care; (c) not disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to any third party, except to its employees, contractors, and advisers who have a need to know and who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those in these Terms; and (d) promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon becoming aware of any unauthorised disclosure or use of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.

Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, regulation, or court order, provided that the Receiving Party: (a) gives the Disclosing Party prompt written notice of such requirement (to the extent legally permitted); (b) cooperates with the Disclosing Party's reasonable efforts to seek protective treatment of the information; and (c) discloses only the minimum amount of Confidential Information necessary to comply with the requirement.

Duration. The obligations of confidentiality set out in this Section 12 shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms for a period of three (3) years, except with respect to trade secrets, which shall be protected for as long as they retain their status as trade secrets under applicable law.

13. Term and Termination

Term. These Terms commence on the date the Customer creates an Account and continue for the duration of the applicable subscription period. For paid Plans, the initial term corresponds to the billing period selected (monthly or annual) and automatically renews in accordance with Section 4 unless terminated as set out below. For free-tier Accounts, the term continues indefinitely until terminated by either party.

Cancellation. The Customer may cancel a paid Plan at any time through the Service's billing settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and the Customer will retain access to paid features until that date. No refunds or credits will be issued for partial billing periods.

Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate these Terms immediately upon written notice if the other party: (a) materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof; (b) becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, or is the subject of any proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (c) ceases to operate in the ordinary course of business.

Suspension. WLC may suspend the Customer's access to the Service, in whole or in part, immediately and without prior notice if: (a) WLC reasonably believes that the Customer's use of the Service poses a security risk to the Service or to other customers; (b) the Customer's Account is overdue for payment; (c) the Customer's use of the Service may subject WLC to liability; or (d) WLC is required to do so by law or by a regulatory or judicial authority. WLC shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Customer promptly after any suspension and to restore access as soon as the underlying cause is resolved.

Free Account Termination. WLC may terminate a free-tier Account that has been inactive for twelve (12) or more consecutive months, with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the email address associated with the Account. Inactivity is defined as no logins to the Service dashboard and no Beacon Script activity on any registered Customer Domain during the relevant period.

Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms: (a) the Customer's right to access and use the Service shall immediately cease; (b) the Beacon Script shall cease to function on all Customer Domains; (c) the Customer shall have thirty (30) days from the effective date of termination to retrieve or export its Customer Data and Consent Records through the Service's export functionality or by written request to WLC; and (d) after the thirty (30)-day retrieval period, WLC may delete all Customer Data and Consent Records in its possession, unless retention is required by applicable law.

Survival. The following Sections shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms: Section 1 (Definitions), Section 6 (Intellectual Property), Section 9 (Warranty Disclaimer), Section 10 (Limitation of Liability), Section 11 (Indemnification), Section 12 (Confidentiality), and Section 15 (General Provisions).

14. Modifications

WLC reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. For material changes, WLC shall provide the Customer with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice via email to the address associated with the Customer's Account, an in-dashboard notification, or a prominent notice on the Service's website. Non-material changes (such as typographical corrections, formatting adjustments, or clarifications that do not alter the parties' rights or obligations) may be made without prior notice.

The Customer's continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modification constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If the Customer does not agree to a material modification, the Customer must stop using the Service and may terminate its Account in accordance with Section 13. For paid Plans, if the Customer terminates within the thirty (30)-day notice period due to a material modification that materially and adversely affects the Customer's rights, WLC shall, upon written request, provide a pro-rata refund of any prepaid Fees for the unused portion of the then-current billing period.

The "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms indicates when the most recent revision was published.

15. General Provisions

Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Norway, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Jurisdiction. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Oslo, Norway. Each party irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

Independent Contractors. The relationship between WLC and the Customer is that of independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between the parties.

Assignment. The Customer may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of WLC. WLC may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganisation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets without the Customer's consent, provided that the assignee assumes all of WLC's obligations under these Terms.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with any applicable order forms, Data Processing Agreements, and policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms (other than payment obligations) to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond the party's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, epidemics, pandemics, government actions, power failures, internet or telecommunications failures, or cyberattacks. The affected party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of the force majeure event and shall resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in these Terms, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any third party any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms.

Notices. All notices required or permitted under these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given when: (a) delivered personally; (b) sent by email with confirmation of receipt; or (c) sent by registered mail with return receipt requested. Notices to WLC shall be directed to:

Notices to the Customer shall be sent to the email address associated with the Customer's Account or as otherwise specified by the Customer in writing.

Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the waiving party.
