By registering to, signing up, and using our Service you acknowledge that you read and accept the following Terms of Service.
This Service (“Service”) is provided by Otentico Limited (also “Otentico”, or “us”, or “we”) to you. Your use of this Service and any additional services introduced by us and contained within the Service constitutes acceptance by you of these Terms of Service.

Only approved clients of us are eligible to use our Service.
3.1) As part of the registration process of a new client and its affiliates, you will need to create an account, including a username and password. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is accurate, not misleading and relates to you. You cannot create an account or username and password using the names, email, and/or information of another person or organisation, or using words that are the trademarks or the property of another party (including ours), or vulgar, obscene or in any other way inappropriate. We reserve the right with or without notice to suspend or terminate any account in breach.
3.2) Where we provide a client (e.g. an organisation) with a number of user licenses for the Service these must be adhered to. User licenses cannot be shared between users. A breach of this clause will result in termination of the abused accounts and/or all accounts provided to the organisation.
3.3) If for any reason you suspect that your username and/or password has been disclosed to or obtained by another party you should contact us immediately. Please note that we never contact users requesting them to confirm their username and password or other details.
3.4) We cannot see or have access to your password. If you forget or lose your password, or need to recover it for whatever reason, including clause 3.3, we can send you an email to your registered and verified email address with instructions on how to reset and create a new password, but we cannot reset or recover it for you for security and privacy reasons.

The paragraphs, sub-paragraphs and clauses of these Terms of Service shall be read and construed independently of each other. Should any part of these Terms of Service or paragraphs, sub-paragraphs or clauses be found invalid it shall not affect the remaining paragraphs, sub-paragraphs and clauses.
Failure by us to enforce any accrued rights under these Terms of Service is not to be taken as or deemed to be a waiver of those rights unless we acknowledge the waiver in writing.
These Terms of Service set out the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. We reserve the right to change these Terms of Service at any time, on giving reasonable prior notice to you.
These Terms of Service are specifically written in accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Should these Terms of Service conflict with the Act, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 shall prevail and apply where you use the Service strictly as a consumer only, but not as a client.
These Terms of Service shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with English law and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. Where applicable your statutory rights are unaffected.
26.1) Definitions:
These additional terms apply where you are a client of Otentico and are operating as a “data controller” (as that term is defined in the GDPR) in your use of the Services.
The terms “personal data,” “data subject,” “processing,” and “processor” shall have the meanings given to those terms respectively in the GDPR.
26.2) Processing Instruction:
By registering to use the Services and agreeing to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, you are providing us with instructions to process any personal data collected by you through the Service, on your behalf.
26.3) Customer Obligations:
You shall ensure and hereby warrant and represent that you are entitled to transfer personal data to Otentico so that Otentico may lawfully process and transfer the personal data in accordance with these Terms of Service. You shall ensure that relevant data subjects (e.g., your employees) 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 Otentico in the provision of the Services.
26.4) Otentico Obligations:
Where Otentico 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 organisation, and the parties agree that these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy constitute such documented instructions;
(b) ensure that all Otentico 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 Otentico and is not otherwise available to you through your account and client areas or on Otentico websites, provided that you provide Otentico with at least 14 days’ written notice of such an information request;
(d) notify you of all requests received directly from a data subject in respect of that data subject’s personal data submitted through the Services;
(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 will also be deleted 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 Services.
26.5) Otentico sub-processors:
Otentico uses trusted partners in facilitating certain elements of our Services (“sub-processors”). By agreeing to these Terms, you provide a general authorisation to Otentico 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 Otentico please submit a support request. On completion of this request, 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 Services, your sole remedy will be to terminate your subscription relating to the Services 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.
26.6) Liability.
Otentico will be liable for the acts and omissions of its sub-processors to the same extent Otentico would be liable if performing the services of each of those sub-processors directly under these Terms of Service, except as otherwise set forth in these Terms of Service and Otentico ensures that all its sub-processors are bound by contractual terms that are in all material respects no less onerous than those contained in these Terms of Service.
26.7) Security Measures:
Otentico has, considering the state of the art, cost of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the Services and the level of risk, implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss of and/or damage to your personal data and as specified in these Terms of Service.
26.8) Security Incident:
If Otentico becomes aware of any unauthorised or unlawful access to, or acquisition, alteration, use, disclosure, or destruction of, personal data (“Security Incident”), Otentico will take reasonable steps to notify you without undue delay, but in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware of the Security Incident. Otentico 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 Otentico.
26.9) 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 EU2 shall be as set out in these terms, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
