Terms of Service
The Services
Criipto offers identification, authentication, and authorization services (“Services”) on a subscription basis (“Subscription”).
Criipto collects and processes authentication and authorization data (including any personal data) for Customer’s end users (“End User Data”) on behalf of the Customer. Criipto has no contractual relationship with Customer’s end users whose data it processes.
The Customer owns its End User Data. The Customer hereby grants Criipto a, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable, transferable license to use the End User Data as strictly necessary for Criipto to provide the Services.
The features and functionality of the Services available to the Customer will be based on the Subscription packages chosen by the Customer. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Services including the Application Programming Interfaces (“API”) and/or the Subscription packages, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service (“Terms”).
Criipto will, from time to time, introduce changes to its API’s and Services. This may require the Customer and/or end users to modify their use of Criipto provided APIs and/or install software updates provided by Criipto or by third parties to continue accessing the Services (such changes hereafter referred to as “Breaking Changes”). In the case of Breaking Changes, Criipto will give at least twelve (12) months prior written notice to the Customer to allow Customer of the requirement to update API usage and/or install software updates.
Registration
To use the Services, Customer will need to register as a user (a “Registered User”) by creating an account. During the registration process Customer will have to provide either a valid email address and password, alternatively credentials to authenticate with a third party federated identity provider with whom Customer has an established account (e.g. GitHub, Google, Microsoft). The third party federated identity provider will with the Customer’s permission provide Criipto with a verified email address associated with Customer’s account.
Customer will provide a unique identifier for its account domain. Customer may invite individuals, authorized and permitted by Customer, to use the Services (“Authorized Users”) through the dashboard after login to the Customer’s account at the designated URL.
Customer will be responsible towards Criipto for any and all acts or omissions of the Authorized Users and will indemnify Criipto for all resulting loses within the limitation of liability. Customer represents and warrants that all registration information provided by Customer and by Authorized Users is truthful and accurate and that the Customer shall maintain and preserve the accuracy of such information.
