This Master Subscription Agreement ("Agreement") governs the use of the relyd business software platform. It is concluded between the relyd company named in section 2 ("relyd", "we", "us") and the organisation that registers for or orders the Service ("Customer", "you"). By creating a workspace, accepting an Order Form or using the Service, you confirm that you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a business and that you are authorised to bind it.
1. Definitions
- Service – the relyd cloud platform, including its modules (such as CRM, Finance, HR, Inventory, Files, Work, Support and Quality), web and mobile applications, application programming interfaces (APIs) and related documentation, as made available by relyd from time to time.
- Workspace – the Customer's separate environment on the Service, reached through its own sub-domain.
- Customer Data – all data, including personal data, that the Customer or its Users enter into, upload to, or generate within the Workspace.

4. The Service
4.1 Provision. During the Subscription Term relyd makes the Service available to the Customer as software-as-a-service over the internet, in accordance with the Documentation and the plan ordered. relyd hosts, operates, maintains and updates the Service. The Customer does not receive a copy of the software.
4.2 Changes. relyd continuously develops the Service and may change it, provided that the overall functionality of the plan ordered is not materially reduced during the Subscription Term. relyd will give at least thirty (30) days' notice of any change that materially reduces functionality the Customer uses. If such a change is to the Customer's material detriment, the Customer may terminate the affected subscription with effect from the date of the change and will receive a pro-rata refund of prepaid fees for the remaining term.
4.3 Beta features. Features marked "beta", "preview" or similar are provided for evaluation, may change or be withdrawn at any time, and are excluded from the Service Level Agreement.
4.4 Third-party services. The Service can connect to services that the Customer chooses and contracts for itself (for example its own e-mail accounts, Google or Microsoft accounts, online shops, carriers, payment providers or its own AI provider keys). These services are not provided by relyd and are not relyd subprocessors. Their use is governed by the terms between the Customer and the provider concerned. relyd is not responsible for their availability or for how they process data.
5. Users and accounts
5.1 The Customer may allow as many Users as its plan permits. User accounts are personal and must not be shared.
5.2 The Customer is responsible for all activity in its Workspace, for the permissions it assigns, and for keeping login credentials confidential. relyd recommends, and for administrators strongly advises, the use of two-factor authentication.
5.3 The Customer shall notify relyd without undue delay at privacy@relyd.co if it becomes aware of any unauthorised access to its Workspace.
6. Customer obligations
6.1 The Customer shall use the Service only for its own internal business purposes and in accordance with this Agreement, the Documentation, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Sensitive Data Terms and applicable law.
6.2 The Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality and legality of Customer Data. This includes having a legal basis to process it and informing data subjects, including its own employees.
6.3 The Customer remains responsible for its legal duties, including tax, accounting, payroll, record-keeping and archiving obligations. The Service supports these tasks but does not replace professional advice or the Customer's own review of results, such as tax returns, payslips or bank reconciliations.
7. Customer Data and data protection
7.1 Ownership. As between the parties, the Customer owns all Customer Data. relyd receives only the rights needed to provide, secure and support the Service.
7.2 Processing. relyd processes personal data contained in Customer Data as a processor on behalf of the Customer. The Data Processing Agreement governs this processing.
7.3 No other use. relyd does not sell Customer Data, does not use it for advertising, and does not use it to train artificial-intelligence models.
7.4 Aggregated information. relyd may collect technical and usage information about the operation of the Service, such as performance, error and feature-usage statistics. relyd may use this information in aggregated form that does not identify the Customer, Users or other individuals, to operate, secure and improve the Service.
7.5 Export. During the Subscription Term the Customer can export its Customer Data through the functions of the Service. On request, relyd will reasonably assist with an export in a common machine-readable format. Assistance beyond the standard functions may be charged under the Terms of Service (Professional Services).
8. Fees and payment
Fees, invoicing, payment terms, taxes and consequences of late payment are governed by the Order Form and the Terms of Sale.
9. Term and termination
9.1 Term. This Agreement starts when the Customer first creates a Workspace or accepts an Order Form. It continues for as long as a subscription is active.
9.2 Renewal. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, each subscription renews automatically for a further period equal to the previous Subscription Term.

- (b) if the Customer materially breaches the Acceptable Use Policy or the Sensitive Data Terms; or

Where possible, relyd will give prior notice and will limit the suspension in scope and duration. Suspension does not delete Customer Data.
