Contracted Enterprise Customers - Terms & Conditions
Update date: 7th November 2023
General
These Terms and Conditions are for customers that have a valid signed Enterprise Customer Order Form signed with Desygner. The Company has the right to withhold Services until full payment is received. All applicable terms and conditions for Enterprise Customers are outlined here. Any differing terms from related purchase orders or similar forms will not apply.
Please note that the user bands mentioned in the Limitations to License section are solely for internal use by the Customer. Any modules not explicitly listed in the Order Form contract are excluded from usage. A list of all available modules is provided in the Proposal or upon request by emailing Your salesperson.
If the Customer uses any Guest Action buckets and exceeds the usage, they will be billed in arrears. To allow external users access to the platform who are not Admin Users, the Customer must purchase a Guest Action module in the Order Form. If the total number of Users or Guest Actions exceeds the Order Form limit and the usage is excessive, Customers will be billed in arrears or prior to the contract anniversary.
