SECTION 2: LICENSE GRANT & SCOPE
2.1 What This License Covers
2.1.1 Subject to the Licensee's timely
payment of the Annual License Fee and compliance with all terms of this
Agreement, the Licensor grants the Licensee a limited, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, yearly license to access and operate the Software on the
Licensor's hosted infrastructure for the following purposes: (a) use of the CRM
across the Licensee's own organization, including multiple internal branches
and departments; and (b) offering CRM access to external SaaS Tenants as a
managed software service under the Licensee's own commercial arrangements.
2.1.2 This license is granted to the
single legal entity identified as the Licensee. It does not constitute a sale
of the Software or any transfer of intellectual property. Hosting the Software
on the Licensor's infrastructure under this agreement does not grant the
Licensee any ownership rights in the Software.
2.1.3 The number of SaaS Tenants
permitted under this license is as specified on the cover page. Any requirement
to expand beyond the agreed tenant limit must be discussed with and approved by
the Licensor and may attract additional fees.
2.2 Internal Branch Use
2.2.1 The Licensee may add multiple
internal branches, divisions, or departments of its own organization as
separate entities within the SaaS Instance. This internal multi-company use is
fully covered under the Annual License Fee at the agreed tier.
2.2.2 Internal branches are considered
extensions of the Licensee's own organization and do not require separate
license purchases, provided they are operating as part of the same legal entity
or group as declared on the cover page.
2.3 SaaS Tenant Sublicensing —
Rights & Boundaries
2.3.1 The Licensee is expressly
permitted to offer CRM access to external SaaS Tenants as a managed service.
Under this arrangement, the Licensee acts as the service provider to its
Tenants and is solely responsible for managing, billing, supporting, and training
those Tenants in relation to the CRM service.
2.3.2 The Licensee's right to offer the
CRM to SaaS Tenants is a sublicensing right granted by the Licensor for the
duration of this Agreement only. This right is contingent on the Licensee
maintaining an active, paid subscription under this Agreement. If this
Agreement lapses, expires, or is terminated, the Licensee's right to offer the
Software to SaaS Tenants automatically and immediately ceases.
2.3.3 The Licensor does not have a
direct contractual relationship with any SaaS Tenant. All obligations toward
SaaS Tenants — including service delivery, support, billing, and contractual
terms — rest entirely with the Licensee. The Licensor's responsibilities extend
only to the Licensee.
2.4 Prohibited Use
The Licensee shall not:
•
Resell, redistribute, or transfer
the Software or this license independently of the managed SaaS service;
•
Reverse-engineer, decompile, or
attempt to access the source code of the Software;
•
Allow SaaS Tenants to
independently modify, configure at source level, or access the underlying CRM
infrastructure;
•
Operate the SaaS Instance on any
domain other than the single Primary Domain specified on the cover page;
•
Use the Software in a manner that
violates applicable UAE or international laws and regulations.
SECTION 3: SUBSCRIPTION FEES, PAYMENT &
NON-REFUNDABLE POLICY
3.1 Annual License Fee
3.1.1 The Annual License Fee covers the
Licensor's hosted infrastructure, the Risper CRM software license, platform
maintenance, and the right to operate the Multi-Company SaaS Instance for the
Subscription Term. This fee is due and payable in full before the Subscription
Start Date.
3.1.2 The Annual License Fee is
renewable on or before the subscription expiry date. The Licensor reserves the
right to revise the fee for any Renewal Term with a minimum of thirty (30) days
written notice.
3.2 Non-Refundable Policy
3.2.1 All fees paid under this Agreement
— including the Annual License Fee, AMC fees, migration fees, training fees,
and any other charges — are strictly non-refundable once the subscription has
been activated and the SaaS Instance has been configured. This policy applies
regardless of usage levels, Tenant count, or any internal business
circumstances of the Licensee.
3.2.2 No fee shall be credited, offset,
or deducted against any future plan, upgrade, or new agreement.
3.3 Subscription Lapse & Data
Deletion
3.3.1 If the Annual License Fee is not
received within thirty (30) days of the subscription expiry date, the Licensor
shall automatically suspend the SaaS Instance. All data — including the
Licensee's own data and all SaaS Tenant data — will be permanently deleted from
the Licensor's servers upon expiry of this grace period, without possibility of
recovery.
3.3.2 The Licensee is solely responsible
for notifying its SaaS Tenants of any impending subscription expiry and for
ensuring that Tenant data is exported before expiry where applicable. The
Licensor bears no responsibility toward SaaS Tenants for data loss arising from
the Licensee's failure to renew.

written request, formal quotation, and full payment before work commences.
3.4.2 All fees are payable in UAE
Dirhams (AED) and are exclusive of applicable taxes including VAT, which remain
the sole responsibility of the Licensee.
SECTION 4: HOSTING, INFRASTRUCTURE &
DATA STORAGE
4.1 Licensor-Hosted SaaS Environment
4.1.1 The Software is hosted entirely on
the Licensor's cloud infrastructure. The Licensee and all SaaS Tenants access
the CRM through a web browser via the designated Primary Domain. No software
installation on the Licensee's own servers is required or permitted under this
plan.
4.1.2 The Licensor shall maintain and
operate the hosting infrastructure with commercially reasonable care, including
encryption in transit (TLS), data-at-rest encryption, firewall protection, and
role-based access controls.
4.1.3 All data belonging to the Licensee
and to SaaS Tenants is stored on the Licensor's servers in a shared
infrastructure environment. The Licensee acknowledges and accepts this shared
hosting model as an inherent characteristic of the Multi-Company SaaS plan.
4.1.4 Data Residency Compliance: The
Licensor guarantees that all Confidential Data and Personal Data belonging to
the Licensee and its SaaS Tenants shall be hosted exclusively on servers
physically located within the United Arab Emirates (AWS UAE Region). The
Licensor shall not transfer or store such data outside the UAE without the
express written consent of the Licensee and in full compliance with Article 22
of the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data
(PDPL).
4.2 Storage Allocation
4.2.1 This plan includes one hundred
(100) gigabytes (GB) of combined storage for all data within the SaaS Instance,
including the Licensee's own records and all SaaS Tenant data. This is a shared
pool across the entire instance.
4.2.2 Additional storage may be
purchased in 10 GB blocks at AED 100 per block. The Licensee is responsible for
managing storage allocation across its own use and its SaaS Tenants' use.
4.3 Domain Binding
4.3.1 This license is permanently bound
to one Unique License ID and one Primary Domain. The Licensee may not operate
the SaaS Instance on multiple domains simultaneously under a single license.
4.3.2 Domain migration is permitted
subject to written request, Licensor approval, and payment of applicable
migration fees. The old domain must be decommissioned within forty-eight (48)
hours of successful migration.
4.4 Service Availability
4.4.1 The Licensor targets platform
availability of ninety-nine percent (99%) measured monthly, excluding scheduled
maintenance and Force Majeure Events. Scheduled maintenance will be
communicated at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance.
4.4.2 The Licensor shall not be liable
for downtime caused by the Licensee's or Tenants' internet connectivity, domain
expiry, browser issues, or third-party integrations.
4.5 Backups
4.5.1 The Licensor maintains
system-level backups for disaster recovery. These are not intended as a
substitute for the Licensee's own data export routine. The Licensee is strongly
advised to regularly export critical data — both its own and its Tenants' — using
the CRM's built-in export features.
4.5.2 The Licensor's backup systems
serve the entire infrastructure and do not guarantee individual Tenant-level
data recovery in all circumstances.
SECTION 5: MULTI-TENANCY SYSTEM — SHARED
INFRASTRUCTURE & RISK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
IMPORTANT: This plan operates on a shared SaaS
infrastructure. A single technical issue, security event, or platform update
may affect all Tenants simultaneously. The Licensee must inform all SaaS
Tenants of this shared-risk model within their own service agreements.
5.1 Shared Infrastructure
Acknowledgement
5.1.1 The Licensee acknowledges and
accepts that the Multi-Company SaaS Instance operates on a shared
infrastructure where the Licensor's platform serves the Licensee and all its
SaaS Tenants from a common environment. As a consequence of this architecture,
events including but not limited to: system-wide platform updates; security
incidents on the shared infrastructure; performance constraints; and scheduled
maintenance windows — may affect the Licensee and all SaaS Tenants
simultaneously.
5.1.2 The Licensor shall not be liable
for any business disruption, data loss, revenue impact, or financial damages
suffered by the Licensee or any of its SaaS Tenants arising from shared
infrastructure events, unless such events are directly and solely caused by the
Licensor's gross negligence.
5.2 Licensee's Obligation to Inform
Tenants
5.2.1 The Licensee must include clear
disclosure of the shared-infrastructure model in all agreements, contracts, and
terms of service presented to its SaaS Tenants. SaaS Tenants must be made aware
— in writing and before commencing use of the CRM service — that: (a) their
data is hosted on a shared infrastructure managed by the Licensor; (b)
system-wide events may affect their service simultaneously with other users;
(c) the Licensee — not the Licensor — is their service provider and point of
contact for all support, complaints, and service matters.
5.2.2 The Licensee shall not attribute
any system-wide failure, outage, or incident to the Licensor in any
communication with its SaaS Tenants, without prior written approval from the
Licensor. Unauthorized attribution of Licensor-caused issues may damage the Licensor's
reputation and may expose the Licensee to liability under this Agreement.
5.3 Business Continuity
5.3.1 The Licensee is responsible for
maintaining its own business continuity measures in relation to the CRM service
it provides to SaaS Tenants. This includes maintaining an up-to-date export of
all Tenant data, communicating planned maintenance windows to Tenants in
advance, and having a contingency plan for service disruptions.
5.3.2 The Licensor will provide advance
notice of planned maintenance. Unplanned outages will be communicated to the
Licensee's SPOC as promptly as circumstances permit.
SECTION 6: SAAS TENANT MANAGEMENT —
LICENSEE'S FULL RESPONSIBILITY
The Licensor provides Risper CRM as a platform to the
Licensee only. The Licensor has no contractual relationship with, and bears no
obligations toward, any SaaS Tenant. All Tenant-facing responsibilities —
support, training, billing, onboarding, and contractual terms — rest entirely
and exclusively with the Licensee.
6.1 Licensee as Sole Service
Provider to Tenants
6.1.1 The Licensee is the sole service
provider to its SaaS Tenants in respect of the CRM service. The Licensee must
manage all aspects of its Tenant relationships independently, including but not
limited to: commercial agreements and billing; service activation and
deactivation; user access management; data management and privacy compliance;
and service-level commitments made to Tenants.
6.1.2 SaaS Tenants have no right to
contact the Licensor directly for support, training, feature requests, or any
other matter. Any direct communication from a Tenant to the Licensor will be
redirected to the Licensee without further engagement.
6.2 Training & Support —
Licensee's Responsibility
6.2.1 All training, onboarding, user
guidance, functional support, and troubleshooting for SaaS Tenants are entirely
the Licensee's responsibility. The Licensor provides initial admin-level
training and documentation to the Licensee at onboarding. The Licensee is
expected to use this knowledge to train and support its own Tenants.
6.2.2 The Licensor will not provide
training, onboarding support, or user-level assistance to any SaaS Tenant,
directly or indirectly, as part of this Agreement. Any engagement by the
Licensor's team with Tenants — for training, advanced support, or customization
— will be treated as a separately quoted, billable service arranged through the
Licensee.
6.2.3 The Licensee shall not direct its
SaaS Tenants to contact the Licensor's support portal or any Licensor
communication channel for any purpose without the Licensor's prior written
consent.
6.3 Escalation to Licensor — When
& How
6.3.1 The Licensor's support team is
available to the Licensee — not to Tenants — for escalation of complex
technical issues that cannot be resolved at the Licensee's level. All
escalation requests must be submitted by the Licensee's designated SPOC through
the official support portal at https://connect.raimsdigital.com/
6.3.2 Where the Licensor's investigation
confirms that the escalated issue originates from the core CRM platform,
resolution will be provided under the active Warranty or AMC coverage at no
additional charge.
6.3.3 Where the issue originates from
the Licensee's own configurations, Tenant data, custom workflows, or actions
outside the standard platform, resolution will be quoted and billed separately.
6.4 Tenant Agreements — Mandatory
Requirements
6.4.1 The Licensee must have a formal
written service agreement in place with each SaaS Tenant before granting CRM
access. These Tenant agreements must clearly state:
•
The CRM service is provided by the
Licensee, not by RAIMS Digital Technologies or Risper CRM directly;
•
The service operates on a shared
hosting infrastructure and is subject to the shared-risk conditions described
in Section 5 of this Agreement;
•
The Licensor bears no liability
toward the Tenant for any service disruption, data loss, or platform issue;
•
SaaS Tenants do not own the data
infrastructure and cannot demand independent server hosting of their data under
this plan;
•
The Tenant's CRM data is hosted on
the Licensor's servers for the duration of the Licensee's active subscription,
and will be deleted if the Licensee's subscription lapses or is terminated;
•
Any Tenant wishing to
independently host their CRM data on their own server must purchase a direct
license from RAIMS Digital Technologies — either a Single Company or
Multi-Company plan — based on their requirements.
6.4.2 The Licensee acknowledges that the
Licensor bears no responsibility for the content, adequacy, or legal compliance
of the Licensee's agreements with its SaaS Tenants. The Licensee assumes full
liability for any claims made by Tenants against the Licensee's service.
SECTION 7: TENANT DATA HOSTING — NO
INDEPENDENT SERVER RIGHTS
SaaS Tenants using the CRM through the Licensee's
platform do not have any right to demand that their data be independently
hosted on a separate server. Their data resides on the Licensor's shared
infrastructure for the duration of the Licensee's subscription. This is a
fundamental characteristic of the SaaS model.
7.1 Under this Multi-Company SaaS
plan, all SaaS Tenant data is stored on the Licensor's shared hosting
infrastructure. SaaS Tenants do not have any entitlement to demand that their
individual data be migrated to, or maintained on, a dedicated or independent
server as part of this plan. This is not a feature or option available under
the Licensee's SaaS offering.
7.2 The Licensee must clearly
communicate this limitation to all SaaS Tenants prior to their commencement of
service. This must be stated explicitly in the Licensee's own Tenant service
agreements — that data portability to an independent server is not available
under the SaaS arrangement.
7.3 If a SaaS Tenant wishes to
independently own and host their CRM data on their own server infrastructure,
the only available path is for that Tenant to purchase a direct CRM license
from RAIMS Digital Technologies. The available options are:
|
License Type |
Suitable For |
|
Single Company —
Yearly Hosted Plan |
One company
using CRM on Risper-hosted infrastructure |
|
Single Company —
Standalone Server Plan |
One company with
customization needs on dedicated server |
|
Single Company —
Lifetime Plan |
One company
wanting perpetual ownership on their own server |
|
Multi-Company —
Yearly SaaS Plan |
Company wanting
to use CRM for multiple branches and offer to their own clients |
7.4 The Licensor will not facilitate
any migration of Tenant data from the Licensee's SaaS Instance to an
independent server on behalf of a SaaS Tenant without a direct commercial
agreement between the Licensor and that Tenant. The Licensee must direct any such
Tenant request to the Licensor's sales team for independent evaluation.
7.5 The Licensee shall not make any
representation to its SaaS Tenants that data portability or server migration is
available as part of the CRM service offered under this Agreement. Any such
representation constitutes a misrepresentation to the Tenant and may expose the
Licensee to liability.
SECTION 8: TENANT CUSTOMIZATIONS, FEATURES
& RESTRICTIONS
8.1 What Tenants Can and Cannot
Request
8.1.1 SaaS Tenants may use the CRM as
provided within the standard feature set available on the Licensee's platform.
Tenants may not request direct modifications to the core CRM platform, access
to the underlying system settings, or any feature that affects the shared SaaS
infrastructure.
8.1.2 All customization requests from
Tenants must be channelled through the Licensee. The Licensee will evaluate the
request and, where appropriate, submit a formal customization request to the
Licensor through the official support portal. Tenants have no direct access to
the Licensor's development team.
8.2 Customization Assessment &
Pricing
8.2.1 Customizations requested on behalf
of or for the benefit of a specific Tenant are assessed and priced by the
Licensor's development team based on the scope, complexity, and effort
involved. The Licensee will be issued a formal quotation and must obtain full
payment from the Tenant (or fund it independently) before submitting payment to
the Licensor.
8.2.2 Development will commence only
after the full Customization Fee has been received by the Licensor from the
Licensee. The Licensor does not engage directly with Tenants for payment or
project management.
8.2.3 The Development Timeline is
determined solely by the Licensor's development team. No external deadlines
imposed by the Licensee or its Tenants shall be accepted as a basis for
timeline commitments.
8.3 Tenant-Exclusive Features &
Isolated Hosting
8.3.1 If a Tenant requires features
exclusive to their instance — i.e., not deployable within the shared SaaS
environment — or wishes for an isolated, dedicated server deployment, this
cannot be accommodated under the Licensee's SaaS plan. Such a Tenant must be
directed to purchase an appropriate direct license from RAIMS Digital
Technologies, as outlined in Section 7.3.
8.3.2 The Licensor reserves the right to
reject customization requests that: (a) require architectural changes
incompatible with the shared SaaS environment; (b) introduce security
vulnerabilities to the shared infrastructure; (c) would adversely affect other Tenants
on the same instance; or (d) cannot be technically delivered within the
constraints of the Licensee's current plan.
8.4 Tenant Data Migration
Limitations
8.4.1 Migration of a specific Tenant's
data from the Licensee's SaaS Instance to a new environment — whether a new
SaaS plan or a standalone/lifetime license — is technically complex and subject
to: pre-assessment by the Licensor's development team; data structure
compatibility verification; and custom pricing based on the scope of work
involved.
8.4.2 There is no guarantee of automatic
data portability for SaaS Tenants. Custom reports, integrations, workflows, or
configurations specific to the original SaaS instance may not transfer and
could be lost during migration. Tenants must be made aware of this limitation
by the Licensee in their service agreements.
8.4.3 The Licensor reserves the right to
decline migration requests for legacy software versions, non-compliant data, or
security-compromised environments.
SECTION 9: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
9.1 The Software — including all
source code, modules, interfaces, algorithms, designs, updates, and
documentation — is and shall remain the sole and exclusive intellectual
property of RAIMS Digital Technologies. This Agreement does not transfer any
intellectual property rights to the Licensee or to any SaaS Tenant.
9.2 No source code is provided to the
Licensee under this plan. The Licensor's SaaS platform delivers the Software as
a hosted service. The Licensee receives the right to access and operate the
Software — not to own, modify, or distribute it.
9.3 Any customizations developed by
the Licensor — whether for the Licensee or on behalf of a Tenant — remain the
intellectual property of RAIMS Digital Technologies. Payment of a Customization
Fee grants the right to use the feature within the agreed environment, not
ownership of the underlying code.
9.4 The Licensor's trade names,
trademarks, logos, and the Risper CRM brand identity remain the exclusive
property of the Licensor and may not be used, altered, or removed by the
Licensee or any Tenant.
SECTION 10: DATA PROTECTION &
CONFIDENTIALITY
10.1 Data Ownership
10.1.1 All data entered into the CRM by
the Licensee and its SaaS Tenants remains the property of the respective
parties who entered it. The Licensor does not claim ownership of any Licensee
or Tenant data.
10.1.2 The Licensor processes Licensee
and Tenant data solely for the purpose of operating and maintaining the SaaS
platform. The Licensor will not sell, disclose, or use such data for any
purpose outside its contractual obligations.
10.2 Licensee's Data
Responsibilities
10.2.1 The Licensee, as the service
provider to its SaaS Tenants, is the data controller in respect of Tenant data
processed through the CRM. The Licensee is solely responsible for: ensuring
Tenants' consent to data storage on the Licensor's infrastructure; compliance
with applicable data protection laws including UAE PDPL and GDPR; and managing
Tenant data access, retention, and deletion requests.
10.2.2 The Licensor's data protection
obligations are owed to the Licensee. The Licensor does not have a direct data
processing relationship with SaaS Tenants and does not accept data subject
requests from Tenants directly.
10.3 Sub-Processors &
Third-Party Data Handling
10.3.1 The Licensee provides a general
authorization for the Licensor to engage AWS UAE Region as the primary
Sub-Processor for hosting and data storage services. The Licensor shall
maintain an up-to-date list of all Sub-Processors engaged in connection with the
processing of Licensee and Tenant data. The Licensor shall notify the Licensee
of any intended changes to the Sub-Processor list with a minimum of thirty (30)
days advance notice. The Licensor remains fully liable for the data protection
performance of any Sub-Processor it engages.
10.3.2 All Sub-Processors engaged by the
Licensor are bound by data protection obligations no less stringent than those
applicable to the Licensor under this Agreement and under UAE PDPL.
10.4 Data Subject Rights & Right
to Erasure
10.4.1 The Software shall provide
functional tools to enable the Licensee, as Data Controller, to fulfil requests
from individuals exercising their data subject rights, including the right to
access, correct, and erase their personal data (the "Right to be
Forgotten") as mandated by the UAE PDPL. The Licensor agrees to facilitate
such requests through the CRM's technical features and through direct support
where technically required.
10.4.2 All data subject requests from
SaaS Tenants' end-users must be managed by the Licensee as data controller. The
Licensor does not accept data subject requests directly from SaaS Tenants or
their users, but will provide technical assistance to the Licensee as required
to fulfil such requests where the cooperation of the Licensor's technical team
is necessary.
10.5 UAE Data Office Oversight &
Regulatory Compliance
10.5.1 Both parties acknowledge that the
processing of personal data under this Agreement is subject to the oversight
and regulations of the UAE Data Office, the federal regulator appointed under
UAE PDPL. The Licensor agrees to comply with all circulars, guidance, and
executive regulations issued by the UAE Data Office from time to time as they
apply to the Licensor's operations and data processing activities.
10.5.2 Data Protection Impact Assessment
(DPIA): If the Licensee is required by applicable UAE law or regulation to
conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment in connection with the processing
activities carried out through the CRM, the Licensor agrees to provide the
Licensee with all necessary technical information, security architecture
documentation, and cooperation required to enable the Licensee to complete that
assessment in a timely and accurate manner.
10.5.3 In the event of any change to UAE
data protection regulations that materially affects either party's obligations
under this Agreement, both parties agree to negotiate in good faith to amend
the relevant provisions of this Agreement to ensure continued compliance.
10.6 Security
10.6.1 The Licensor implements and
maintains commercially reasonable security measures on its hosted
infrastructure. However, the Licensee acknowledges that no system is entirely
immune to security threats, and the Licensor cannot guarantee absolute data
security in all circumstances.
10.6.2 The Licensee is responsible for:
managing all Authorized User and Tenant access credentials; ensuring strong
password practices across its platform; and promptly reporting any suspected
security incident to the Licensor's support portal.
SECTION 11: SUPPORT COMMUNICATION POLICY
11.1 All technical support, escalation,
and customization requests from the Licensee must be submitted through the
official support portal at https://connect.raimsdigital.com/ The Licensee's
designated SPOC is the authorized point of contact for all such communications.
11.2 Support will not be provided
through informal channels including WhatsApp, personal email, or phone calls,
except in declared emergency situations at the Licensor's discretion.
11.3 Business Hours: 09:00 AM to 6:00
PM, Monday to Friday (UAE time). Online meeting requests require twenty-four
(24) hours advance notice. In-person meetings require three (3) working days
advance notice.

SECTION 12: WARRANTY, AMC & CONTINUED
OPERATION
12.1 Warranty
12.1.1 A twelve (12) month warranty from
the Subscription Start Date covers defects and errors in the original Risper
CRM functionality. During this period, confirmed software defects will be
investigated and resolved at no additional charge.
12.1.2 The warranty covers the Licensee's
SaaS Instance as a whole. It does not create individual warranty entitlements
for each SaaS Tenant. Tenant-reported issues must be escalated through the
Licensee's SPOC as described in Section 11.
12.2 Annual Maintenance Contract
(AMC)
12.2.1 Following the expiry of the
Warranty Period, the Licensee may enter into an optional Annual Maintenance
Contract. The AMC is priced at fifteen percent (15%) of the Annual License Fee
and covers: free software updates and patches released by the Licensor (for the
Licensee's instance only — not for individual Tenants); minor configuration
assistance; functional query support; and ticket-based priority support with a
twenty-four (24) business hour response target.
12.2.2 AMC updates and patches are
provided to the Licensee's SaaS Instance, not to individual Tenant
environments. Tenants benefit from updates as they are applied to the shared
platform.
12.2.3 AMC Lapse: If the AMC is not
renewed within thirty (30) days of expiry, it is treated as a service
discontinuation. Reinstatement after a lapse of more than thirty (30) days
requires payment of: (a) fifty percent (50%) of the annual AMC fee as a
reinstatement charge; plus (b) the full AMC fee for the new AMC year.
12.2.4 Non-renewal of the AMC does not
affect the Licensee's active subscription right to operate the CRM during the
Subscription Term. The AMC relates to post-warranty ongoing maintenance — it
does not affect the core subscription.
SECTION 13: BROWSER ENVIRONMENT MAINTENANCE
& CLIENT-SIDE PERFORMANCE
Risper CRM is a web-based platform accessed
through the browser. Like all web applications, its performance is influenced
by the condition of the browser environment on each user's device. This applies
equally to the Licensee's own team and to all SaaS Tenants.
13.1 The Licensor recommends that all
Authorized Users — including the Licensee's staff and all SaaS Tenants —
maintain good browser hygiene practices. This includes regular clearing of
browser cache and cookies, keeping browsers updated to the latest stable version,
and avoiding excessive browser extensions that may interfere with web
application performance.
13.2 A browser accumulates cached data
from all websites and applications visited during daily use. Over time, this
accumulated cache can affect how web applications — including the CRM — load
and display on that device. Symptoms such as outdated interface elements, slow
loading, or login errors are commonly browser-side conditions resolved by
clearing the cache, and are not indicative of platform defects.
13.3 The Licensee is responsible for
communicating this guidance to its SaaS Tenants and for incorporating browser
maintenance best practices into its own user onboarding and support materials.
Browser-related issues reported by Tenants should be triaged by the Licensee
before escalation to the Licensor.
13.4 Before escalating any display or
performance concern to the Licensor's support team, the Licensee should confirm
that the reporting user has completed a full browser cache clear. This step
resolves the majority of browser-side issues and avoids unnecessary support
ticket cycles.
SECTION 14: REFUND ELIGIBILITY, ADOPTION
RESPONSIBILITY & DISPUTE CONDUCT
The Licensor is fully committed to the
Licensee's success and provides platform support, training for the Licensee's
team, and ongoing technical assistance. This section clarifies the
responsibilities of both parties in maintaining a fair and professional working
relationship.
14.1 Refund Eligibility
14.1.1 As stated in Section 3.2, all fees
are non-refundable once the subscription has been activated. A refund request
will be considered only where a reproducible, documented software defect has
been formally reported and the Licensor has been unable to resolve it within a
reasonable timeframe. Where a refund request is received, the Licensor will
review access logs and support history as part of a standard objective
assessment.
14.1.2 The following do not qualify as
grounds for a refund: low or no usage of the platform by the Licensee or its
Tenants; internal staff or Tenant resistance to adoption; dissatisfaction where
no technical defect exists; or the Licensee's decision to discontinue the
service mid-subscription.
14.2 Adoption Responsibility
14.2.1 The Licensor provides initial
onboarding training and documentation to the Licensee. The Licensee is
responsible for all training, adoption, and support delivery to its SaaS
Tenants. Business outcomes — including Tenant retention, satisfaction, and CRM
adoption rates — are within the Licensee's operational responsibility and are
not grounds for service credits or refunds.
14.3 Dispute Conduct
14.3.1 All concerns and disputes should
be raised through the official support portal. Where a concern cannot be
resolved through support, both parties agree to follow the formal dispute
resolution process in Section 16, beginning with a good-faith negotiation period.
All communications are expected to remain professional and respectful
throughout. The Licensor maintains server-side logs that serve as an objective
reference in any dispute.
SECTION 15: GENERAL PROVISIONS
15.1 Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for failure or delay caused by
a Force Majeure Event, provided prompt notice is given and reasonable
mitigation is taken. If a Force Majeure Event persists beyond sixty (60) days,
either party may terminate with thirty (30) days written notice without
liability, save that no fees paid shall be refundable.
15.2 Branding Rights The Licensor may use the
Licensee's company name and project description in marketing materials. The
Licensee may opt out via written request within thirty (30) days of signing.
15.3 Audit Rights
The Licensor reserves the right to conduct an annual audit of
the Licensee's use of the Software and Tenant count to verify compliance.
Fifteen (15) Business Days advance written notice will be provided.
15.4 Amendments
Any changes to this Agreement require written consent from
both parties signed by authorized representatives.
15.5 Entire Agreement This Agreement constitutes the
complete and exclusive agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior
discussions and understandings.
15.6 Severability
If any provision is found invalid, it shall be severed, and
the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.
15.7 Electronic Execution Digitally signed or scanned PDF
copies shall have the same legal effect as originals. Electronic delivery to
admin@raimsdigital.com constitutes valid service.
15.8 Post-Signature Process The Licensor will email a fully
executed copy within three (3) Business Days of signing. The Licensee must
return a countersigned copy within seven (7) calendar days or the offer is
void.
SECTION 16: GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE
RESOLUTION
16.1 This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates,
specifically the laws of Abu Dhabi, UAE.
16.2 In the event of any dispute, the
parties shall first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation within
fifteen (15) calendar days of written notice of the dispute.
16.3 If unresolved through negotiation,
the dispute shall be referred to binding arbitration in Abu Dhabi, UAE, under
the rules of the Abu Dhabi Commercial Conciliation and Arbitration Centre
(ADCCAC). The language of arbitration shall be English.
16.4 The Licensee assumes full
responsibility for ensuring that its SaaS Tenants comply with UAE and
international laws in relation to their use of the CRM service. The Licensor
bears no liability for any Tenant's non-compliance with applicable law.
SECTION 17: TERMINATION & SERVICE
DISCONTINUATION
17.1 Licensor's Right to Terminate
or Suspend

Agreement: all Licensee and Tenant access to the SaaS Instance ceases; all data
is permanently deleted from the Licensor's servers following the grace period;
no refunds are provided for any unused portion of the subscription.
17.2.2 The Licensee is solely responsible
for notifying all SaaS Tenants of the service termination with sufficient
advance notice and for facilitating data export before the termination date.
The Licensor bears no obligation toward SaaS Tenants following termination.

entirely, the Licensor may request written confirmation of Tenant data deletion
from the Licensee.
