These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Allocentra (Pty) Ltd ("Allocentra","we", "us", or "our"), a company registered in South Africa.

Allocentra is a cloud-based Managed Service Provider (MSP) platform providing IT asset management, remote monitoring, PSA ticketing, patch management, and related services ("the Service").

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time with reasonable notice.

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.

Plan prices, the technicians and endpoints each plan includes, and the annual billing terms are published on our pricing page. The prices on the pricing page at the time you subscribe apply. Prices exclude VAT. Custom Enterprise terms are agreed in writing with sales.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. Cancellation, refunds, chargebacks, and related processes are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

[Placeholder: endpoints above your plan allowance are billed at the per-endpoint rate on the pricing page, based on the billable count defined in the Fair Use Policy. Invoicing timing and any first-month grace to be confirmed.]

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Fair Use Policy, which defines active, billable and stale endpoints. [Placeholder: incorporation wording.]

[Placeholder: how to cancel monthly and annual subscriptions, when cancellation takes effect, and access to your data after cancellation. See also the Refund & Cancellation Policy.]

[Placeholder: the conditions that apply to any money-back or service guarantee we offer.]

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Where we process personal information on your behalf, our Data Processing Agreement also applies. Service levels for Enterprise plans are agreed in your contract.

You retain ownership of all data you upload to the Service ("Customer Data"). You grant Allocentra a limited licence to process Customer Data solely to provide the Service.

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential. This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Allocentra shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Service.
