Clav will use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any interruption and, whenever possible, will communicate scheduled maintenance in advance.

9. Intellectual Property

The Platform and all software, frameworks, methodologies, control libraries, templates, documentation, and other related materials, together with all intellectual property rights contained therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Clav and/or its licensors, and are protected by Law No. 9.609/98, Law No. 9.610/98, and other applicable rules. No rights are granted to the Client beyond the limited license expressly set forth in Section 5.

The Client Data remains the exclusive property of the Client. Clav acquires no right over such Data beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the Services. The Client grants Clav a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, and use the Client Data exclusively to provide and support the Platform during the term of the Agreement.

The Client authorizes Clav to reference its trade name for portfolio purposes, with any other form of use prohibited without express written authorization.

10. Confidentiality

Each party shall maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information disclosed by the other party under these Terms and the Agreement, using it only for the purposes set forth herein and protecting it with at least the same degree of care it applies to its own confidential information.

The confidentiality obligation does not apply to information that:

  • a) is or becomes public without violation of these Terms or the Agreement;
  • b) was lawfully known to the receiving party before receipt;
  • c) must be disclosed by legal, judicial, or competent regulatory authority determination — in which case the party shall notify the other as far in advance as possible.

The confidentiality obligation survives for 5 (five) years after the end of the contractual relationship.

11. Personal Data and Privacy

The processing of personal data in the context of the Platform is governed by the LGPD and conducted in accordance with Clav's Privacy Notice, available on the website, the terms of which the User declares to have read and accepted upon accessing the Platform.

With respect to the personal data entered by the Client into the Platform, the Client acts as controller and Clav as processor, pursuant to Article 39 of the LGPD. When necessary, the parties shall enter into a specific personal data processing addendum.

12. Payment and Price Adjustment

The payment conditions, charges, taxes, and price adjustment applicable to the Platform subscription are fully described in the Agreement entered into between Clav and the Client.

13. Suspension and Termination

Clav may suspend or terminate the User's access to the Platform, upon written notice and a 30 (thirty) day period to cure the violation, in the following cases:

  • a) use of the Platform in violation of these Terms or applicable law;
  • b) default not cured after notice;
  • c) determination by a competent authority;
  • d) risk to the security, integrity, or availability of the Platform.

The Client may cancel the subscription at any time, subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement. After termination, Clav will make the Client Data available for export for a period of 30 (thirty) days, after which it may be permanently deleted in accordance with applicable law. Termination does not release the Client from the obligation to pay amounts already due.

14. Warranties and Absence of Advisory

Clav warrants that it will provide the Platform with reasonable skill and care and substantially in accordance with the description in the Agreement. Except as expressly provided otherwise, the Platform is provided "as available" and Clav does not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

The Platform provides software tools, frameworks, and methodologies to help the User organize and prepare documentation and evidence for regulatory compliance purposes. The Platform does not constitute legal, regulatory, accounting, or audit advice, and the Agreement does not create any fiduciary or advisory relationship between the parties.

Clav does not warrant, nor shall it be responsible for, the Client's or its User's obtaining of any regulatory authorization, technical certification, or result before the BCB or other competent authority. Such results depend on factors beyond Clav's control, including the Client's own compliance posture and the assessment of the competent bodies.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to the Agreement or the use of the Platform.

Clav's total liability arising out of or related to the Agreement shall not exceed the total amount of fees actually paid by the Client in the 12 (twelve) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, Clav shall in no event be liable for: (i) damages to third parties caused by the improper use of the Platform by the Client or its Authorized Users; (ii) third-party services or systems used by the Client in connection with the Platform, including certifiers, identity providers, and financial institutions; (iii) damages arising from failures in the internet connection, equipment, or systems of the Client itself; (iv) viruses, malware, or cyberattacks affecting the Client's systems as a result of accessing or browsing the internet, except where originating directly from a proven vulnerability of the Platform; or (v) any damage resulting from the illegal or negligent conduct of the Client or third parties not under Clav's control.

The above limitations do not apply to liability arising from willful misconduct, fraud, or breach of the confidentiality or data protection obligations, nor to any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

16. Changes to These Terms

Clav reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated to the User with at least 30 (thirty) days' prior notice, by email or by notice on the Platform itself.

Continued use of the Platform after the communicated changes take effect shall constitute tacit acceptance of the new Terms. Should the User disagree with the changes, it must stop using the Platform and request the Client to terminate the Agreement.

17. General Provisions

These Terms, together with the Agreement and its annexes, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to their subject matter. Any amendment must be made in writing.

Neither party may assign these Terms without the prior written consent of the other, except to an affiliate or in the context of a corporate reorganization, merger, or sale of substantially all of its assets.

The parties agree that the Agreement and any amendments may be signed by means of an electronic signature platform (DocuSign, ClickSign, or equivalent), and signatures thus affixed are valid and legally effective pursuant to Provisional Measure No. 2.200-2/2001 and Law No. 14.063/2020.

Independent Parties. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between them.

Neither party shall be liable for delay or non-performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, provided it takes reasonable measures to mitigate the effects.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

A party's tolerance of any breach shall not imply novation or waiver of the right to demand performance of the obligation.
