SECTION 2: LICENSE GRANT & PLAN SCOPE
2.1 What This Plan Covers
2.1.1 The Multi-Company SaaS Standalone
Server Plan combines a dedicated isolated server environment within the
Licensor's infrastructure with a multi-company SaaS license. This plan is
specifically designed for Licensees who: (a) operate the CRM across multiple internal
branches or departments; (b) offer CRM access to external SaaS Tenants as a
managed service; and (c) require moderate to major customizations beyond the
standard shared hosted plan.
2.1.2 Subject to timely payment of the
Annual Combined 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 dedicated standalone server
for the purposes described in clause 2.1.1.
2.1.3 This Agreement constitutes a
license to use the Software. It does not constitute a sale. No ownership of the
Software, server infrastructure, or any customization source code is
transferred to the Licensee.

2.3 Internal Branch Use
2.3.1 The Licensee may add multiple
internal branches, divisions, or departments of its own organization as
separate entities within the SaaS Instance. Internal branch use is fully
covered under the Annual Combined Fee at the agreed tier.
2.4 SaaS Tenant Sublicensing —
Rights & Boundaries
2.4.1 The Licensee is expressly
permitted to offer CRM access to external SaaS Tenants as a managed service.
The Licensee acts as the service provider to its Tenants and is solely
responsible for managing, billing, supporting, and training those Tenants. The
Licensor's responsibilities extend only to the Licensee — not to any Tenant.
2.4.2 The Licensee's right to offer CRM
to SaaS Tenants is contingent on this Agreement remaining active and all fees
being current. If this Agreement lapses, expires, or is terminated, the
sublicensing right ceases immediately.
2.4.3 The number of SaaS Tenants
permitted is as specified on the cover page. Expansion beyond this limit
requires written approval from the Licensor and may attract additional fees.
2.5 Prohibited Use
The Licensee shall not:
•
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
server infrastructure;
•
Attempt to self-modify the server
environment or install unauthorized software on the standalone server;
•
Operate the SaaS Instance on any
domain other than the single Primary Domain specified on the cover page;
•
Share or transfer any
customization developed under this Agreement to any third party without the
Licensor's prior written consent;
•
Use the platform in a manner that
violates applicable UAE or international laws.
SECTION 3: FEES, PAYMENT &
NON-REFUNDABLE POLICY
3.1 Annual Combined Fee — Single
Renewal
3.1.1 Under this plan, the standalone
server cost and the Multi-Company SaaS subscription are combined into a single
Annual Combined Fee, renewed together each year as one payment. Both components
— the dedicated server environment and the SaaS license — are not independently
renewable. Both must be renewed simultaneously on or before the subscription
expiry date.
3.1.2 The Annual Combined Fee covers:
the provisioning, maintenance, and operation of the Licensee's dedicated
standalone server; the Multi-Company SaaS license for the agreed Tenant limit;
platform maintenance and security; and the warranty period as described in
Section 11.
3.1.3 The Licensor draws the Licensee's
attention to the fact that the Annual Combined Fee represents a growing yearly
commitment — covering both the server environment and the SaaS license
simultaneously. The Licensor encourages the Licensee to consider the Lifetime
Self-Hosted Plan as a long-term alternative that eliminates recurring fees.
Details are available on request.
3.1.4 The Licensor reserves the right to
revise the Annual Combined Fee for any Renewal Term with a minimum of thirty
(30) days written notice prior to the renewal date.
3.2 Customization Fee
3.2.1 Moderate and Major customizations
are available under this plan and are charged separately from the Annual
Combined Fee. Each Customization Fee is determined solely by the Licensor's
development team following a formal technical assessment. Development will not
commence under any circumstances until the full Customization Fee has been
received and confirmed by the Licensor.
3.2.2 Customization Fees are
non-refundable once development has commenced. Scope changes after development
commences will be assessed and priced as new requests.
3.3 Non-Refundable Policy — All Fees
3.3.1 All fees paid under this Agreement
— including the Annual Combined Fee, Customization Fees, AMC fees, training
fees, migration fees, and any other charges — are strictly non-refundable once
the respective service has been activated or development has commenced,
regardless of the circumstances.
3.3.2 No previously paid fee shall be
credited, offset, or deducted against any future plan, upgrade, or new
agreement. This applies without exception to all upgrade scenarios including
transition to a Lifetime Self-Hosted Plan.
3.4 Storage Allocation
3.4.1 This plan includes one hundred
(100) gigabytes (GB) of combined storage for all data within the SaaS Instance,
shared across the Licensee's own use and all SaaS Tenant data. Additional
storage is available at AED 500 per additional 100 GB block per year.
3.4.2 The Licensee is advised that
persistent storage expansion requirements, combined with the recurring Annual
Combined Fee, may make an upgrade to a Lifetime Self-Hosted Plan a more
cost-effective long-term solution.

including VAT.
3.5.2 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 4: STANDALONE SERVER ENVIRONMENT
& HOSTING
4.1 Dedicated Server Provisioning
4.1.1 Upon receipt of the full Annual
Combined Fee, the Licensor shall provision a dedicated standalone server
environment within its hosting infrastructure exclusively for the Licensee.
This server will host an isolated instance of the Multi-Company Risper CRM,
configured for the Licensee's domain, Unique License ID, and agreed Tenant
capacity.
4.1.2 The standalone server environment
is provisioned solely for the purpose of running the Licensee's Risper CRM SaaS
instance. The Licensee shall not use the server environment for any other
application, website, or service.
4.1.3 Server specifications, resources,
and configuration are determined by the Licensor based on the Licensee's
operational requirements, anticipated Tenant count, and the scope of planned
customizations. Significant growth in Tenant numbers or customization complexity
may necessitate a server resource upgrade, which will be separately quoted.
4.2 Service Availability &
Uptime
4.2.1 The Licensor targets platform
availability of ninety-nine percent (99%) for the dedicated server environment,
measured monthly, excluding scheduled maintenance and Force Majeure Events.
4.2.2 Scheduled maintenance will be
communicated at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance and scheduled outside
Business Hours where possible. Emergency maintenance may be performed without
advance notice to protect the server's security or integrity.
4.2.3 The dedicated server environment
significantly reduces — but does not eliminate — the risk of one Tenant's
actions affecting another. However, the Licensee acknowledges that some
platform-wide events (such as server-level maintenance, security patches, or
hardware issues) may still affect all Tenants simultaneously.
4.3 Domain Binding &
Configuration
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 Where the Licensee elects to use a
branded custom domain, that domain must be exclusively reserved for the CRM and
must not be connected to any other service, website, or application. Domain
purchase, renewal, and maintenance are the Licensee's sole responsibility.
4.3.3 Domain migration to a new primary
domain 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 Backups
4.4.1 The Licensor maintains
system-level backups of the standalone server for disaster recovery purposes.
These are not intended as a substitute for the Licensee's own data export
practice. The Licensee is strongly advised to regularly export all data — both its
own and its Tenants' — using the CRM's built-in export features.
4.4.2 The Licensee is responsible for
communicating backup practices and data export options to its SaaS Tenants and
for ensuring Tenant data is appropriately exported before any planned service
disruption.
SECTION 5: MULTI-TENANCY — DEDICATED SERVER
ENVIRONMENT & RISK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
IMPORTANT: While this plan provides a dedicated
standalone server — offering greater isolation than the standard shared plan —
SaaS Tenants are still hosted on the Licensor's infrastructure. Server-level
events including maintenance, security patches, and hardware interventions may
affect all Tenants simultaneously. The Licensee must inform all SaaS Tenants of
this in their own service agreements.
5.1 Dedicated Server — Improved But
Not Absolute Isolation
5.1.1 The dedicated standalone server
provides the Licensee and its SaaS Tenants with a private, isolated server
environment separate from other Risper CRM clients. This means that
configuration changes, customizations, and routine operations for one Tenant will
not affect other Tenants within the same instance. However, server-level events
— such as scheduled maintenance, security patching, hardware interventions, or
Force Majeure Events — may still cause temporary unavailability for all users
of the instance simultaneously.
5.1.2 The Licensor shall not be liable
for any business disruption, data loss, or revenue impact suffered by the
Licensee or any SaaS Tenant arising from server-level events, provided the
Licensor has taken commercially reasonable steps to minimize disruption.
5.2 Licensee's Obligation to Inform
Tenants
5.2.1 The Licensee must clearly disclose
the hosting arrangement to all SaaS Tenants in their service agreements.
Tenants must be informed in writing, before commencing use of the CRM, that:
(a) their data is hosted on a dedicated server managed by the Licensor on the
Licensee's behalf; (b) server-level events may cause temporary service
unavailability; (c) the Licensee — not the Licensor — is their service provider
for all matters; and (d) they do not have any right to demand independent
server hosting of their data under this plan.
5.2.2 The Licensee shall not attribute
any platform or server event to the Licensor in any communication with its
Tenants without prior written approval from the Licensor.
5.3 Business Continuity
5.3.1 The Licensee is responsible for
maintaining its own business continuity measures including up-to-date data
exports, advance communication of maintenance windows to Tenants, and
contingency planning for service disruptions.
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 any SaaS
Tenant and bears no obligations toward them. All Tenant-facing responsibilities
— support, training, billing, onboarding, and contractual terms — rest entirely
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. The Licensee must independently manage all
aspects of its Tenant relationships including commercial agreements and
billing; service activation and deactivation; user access management; data management
and privacy compliance; and all service-level commitments made to Tenants.
6.1.2 SaaS Tenants have no right to
contact the Licensor directly for any matter. Any direct communication received
from a Tenant will be redirected to the Licensee without further engagement
from the Licensor.
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 deploy this knowledge to train and support its own Tenants
independently.
6.2.2 The Licensor will not provide
training, onboarding, or user-level support to any SaaS Tenant, directly or
indirectly, as part of this Agreement. Any Licensor engagement with Tenants for
training, advanced support, or customization guidance will be separately quoted
and billed, arranged exclusively through the Licensee.
6.2.3 The Licensee shall not direct SaaS
Tenants to the Licensor's support portal or any Licensor communication channel
without the Licensor's prior written consent.
6.3 Escalation to Licensor
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 SPOC through the
official support portal at https://connect.raimsdigital.com/
6.3.2 Where the issue originates from
the core CRM platform, resolution will be provided under active Warranty or AMC
coverage at no additional charge. Where the issue originates from the
Licensee's configurations, Tenant data, or custom workflows, resolution will be
separately quoted.
6.4 Mandatory Tenant Agreement
Requirements
6.4.1 The Licensee must have a formal
written service agreement with each SaaS Tenant before granting CRM access.
These Tenant agreements must explicitly state:
•
The CRM service is provided by the
Licensee, not by RAIMS Digital Technologies or Risper CRM directly;
•
The service runs on a dedicated
server hosted within the Licensor's infrastructure on the Licensee's behalf —
server-level events may temporarily affect the service;
•
The Licensor bears no liability
toward the Tenant for any service disruption, data loss, or platform event;
•
SaaS Tenants do not own the server
environment and cannot demand independent hosting of their data under this
plan;
•
All Tenant data is stored on the
Licensor's infrastructure for the duration of the Licensee's active
subscription and will be permanently deleted if the 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, as described in Section 7.
6.4.2 The Licensor bears no
responsibility for the adequacy or legal compliance of the Licensee's
agreements with its 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. All data resides on the Licensor's dedicated
server environment for the duration of the Licensee's subscription. This is a
fundamental characteristic of the SaaS model.
7.1 Under this Multi-Company SaaS
Standalone Server Plan, all SaaS Tenant data is stored on the Licensor's
dedicated server infrastructure. SaaS Tenants have no entitlement to demand
that their individual data be migrated to, or maintained on, an independent
server as part of this plan. The Licensee must clearly communicate this
limitation to all Tenants in writing before they commence use of the CRM
service.
7.2 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 license from
RAIMS Digital Technologies. The Licensee must direct any such request to the
Licensor's team for independent commercial evaluation. Available direct license
options are:
|
License Type |
Suitable For |
|

One company on
Risper-hosted shared infrastructure |

7.3 The Licensor will not facilitate
migration of a Tenant's data to an independent server without a direct commercial
agreement with that Tenant. The Licensee must not represent to its Tenants that
independent data hosting is available under this plan. Any such
misrepresentation is the Licensee's liability.
SECTION 8: CUSTOMIZATION — SCOPE, PRICING,
TIMELINE & CONDITIONS
The Multi-Company SaaS Standalone Server
Plan is the only multi-company subscription plan under which Moderate and Major
customizations are available. This section governs the full lifecycle of
customization requests.

8.2 Customization Request Process
8.2.1 All customization requests — whether
for the Licensee's own use or on behalf of a SaaS Tenant — must be submitted in
writing by the Licensee's SPOC through the official support portal. The
Licensee consolidates all Tenant requests and submits them on behalf of
Tenants. Tenants have no direct access to the Licensor's development team.
8.2.2 The Licensor's development team
will assess the request and respond with: (a) the formal classification; (b)
the Customization Fee for Moderate and Major requests; (c) the estimated
Development Timeline; and (d) any technical prerequisites. This response is
typically provided within five (5) to seven (7) Business Days of receiving the
request.
8.2.3 The Licensee's written acceptance
of the quoted fee and timeline is required before any development commences.
Verbal agreements or informal approvals are not accepted.
8.3 Customization Fee — Authority
& Determination
8.3.1 The Customization Fee for each
Moderate or Major request is determined solely and exclusively by the
Licensor's development team. This determination is based on technical
complexity, effort, technology, and resources required. It is final and not
subject to negotiation based on the Licensee's or any Tenant's budget
preferences.
8.3.2 No other representative of the
Licensor has authority to quote, commit to, or modify Customization Fees
outside the formal written quotation process.
8.3.3 Scope changes requested after a
quotation has been accepted will be treated as a new or amended request and
separately assessed and priced.
8.4 Full Payment Before Development
Commences — Absolute Condition
8.4.1 Development work on any Moderate
or Major customization shall not commence under any circumstances until the
full Customization Fee has been received and confirmed by the Licensor. This
applies regardless of urgency, relationship history, or prior verbal
understanding. The Licensor will issue a formal payment confirmation, after
which development will be scheduled.
8.4.2 Where the Licensee is requesting a
customization on behalf of a Tenant, the Licensee is responsible for collecting
payment from the Tenant (or funding it independently) before remitting the
Customization Fee to the Licensor. The Licensor does not engage directly with
Tenants for payment.
8.4.3 Customization Fees are
non-refundable once development has commenced. Cancellations after payment but
before development commencement may, at the Licensor's sole discretion, be
credited toward a different customization request within the same Subscription
Term.
8.5 Development Timeline —
Determination & Management
8.5.1 The Development Timeline is
determined solely by the Licensor's development team. The Licensor does not
accept externally imposed deadlines — whether from the Licensee or from any
SaaS Tenant — as a basis for timeline commitments.
8.5.2 Timelines may be adjusted where:
the Licensee requests scope changes during development; the Licensee or Tenant
fails to provide required information or approvals in a timely manner; or
unforeseen technical complexity is discovered. The Licensor will communicate
any significant timeline adjustment promptly. Timeline delays do not entitle
the Licensee to a refund of paid fees.
8.6 Tenant Customization
Restrictions
8.6.1 SaaS Tenants may not request
direct modifications to the core CRM platform or server environment. All Tenant
customization requests must be channelled through the Licensee, evaluated for
feasibility, and submitted to the Licensor by the Licensee's SPOC. Tenants have
no direct access to the Licensor's development team.
8.6.2 If a Tenant requires features
exclusive to their instance — not deployable within the shared server
environment — or wishes for fully isolated dedicated hosting, this cannot be
accommodated under this plan. Such Tenants must be directed to purchase a direct
license from RAIMS Digital Technologies as outlined in Section 7.2.
8.7 Intellectual Property of
Customizations
8.7.1 All customizations developed by
the Licensor — regardless of whether requested for the Licensee or on behalf of
a Tenant — remain the sole intellectual property of RAIMS Digital Technologies.
Payment of the Customization Fee grants the right to use the developed feature
within the agreed environment. It does not constitute a purchase or transfer of
the underlying code or design.
SECTION 9: UPGRADE POLICY &
NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF PAID FEES
9.1 Right to Upgrade — Recommended
Path
9.1.1 The Licensee may request an
upgrade from this plan to a Lifetime Self-Hosted Plan or any other plan offered
by the Licensor at any time during the Subscription Term. The Licensor welcomes
upgrades and will facilitate the transition in a structured manner. The
dedicated standalone server architecture makes migration to a Lifetime
Self-Hosted Plan more efficient compared to migrating from a shared
environment.
9.1.2 The Licensor notes that the
recurring Annual Combined Fee covering both the server environment and the SaaS
license — combined with growing storage and customization costs — represents an
increasing yearly commitment. The Lifetime Self-Hosted Plan replaces this with
a one-time license fee, providing permanent ownership on the Licensee's own
infrastructure. The Licensor encourages the Licensee to evaluate this option as
a long-term investment.
9.1.3 Upgrade requests must be submitted
in writing. The Licensor will respond with the applicable fees, migration
process, and timeline within five (5) to seven (7) Business Days.
9.2 All Previously Paid Fees Are
Non-Creditable on Upgrade
9.2.1 The Licensee expressly
acknowledges that all amounts previously paid under this Agreement — including
Annual Combined Fees, Customization Fees, storage charges, AMC fees, migration
fees, and any other amounts — are strictly non-creditable, non-refundable, and
non-deductible against the cost of any upgrade or new agreement, without
exception.
9.2.2 Upgrade fees are assessed and
quoted at the time of the upgrade request based on then-current pricing. All
upgrade fees are payable in full before migration work commences.
SECTION 10: LIFETIME PLAN MIGRATION —
GENERAL REFERENCE
10.1 The Multi-Company SaaS Standalone
Server Plan is architecturally designed to facilitate a smooth and efficient
transition to a Lifetime Self-Hosted Plan should the Licensee choose to
upgrade. The dedicated server environment within the Licensor's infrastructure
makes this migration more structured compared to migrating from a shared
environment.
10.2 The Licensee may initiate a
migration to a Lifetime Self-Hosted Plan at any time during an active
Subscription Term by submitting a written request through the support portal.
All applicable migration and Lifetime Plan fees must be settled in full before
migration work commences.
10.3 The full terms, conditions,
process, timeline, SaaS Tenant transition arrangements, and responsibilities
governing the migration and the Lifetime Self-Hosted Plan will be set out in a
separate Lifetime Plan Agreement to be signed by both parties at the time of
the upgrade. This Agreement does not govern or form part of that process.
SECTION 11: WARRANTY, AMC & CONTINUED
OPERATION
11.1 Twelve-Month Warranty
11.1.1 A twelve (12) month warranty from
the Subscription Start Date covers defects and errors in the original Risper
CRM functionality as delivered. Confirmed software defects in standard
functionality will be investigated and resolved at no additional charge,
subject to the warranty not having been voided by unauthorized modifications.
11.1.2 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 12.
11.1.3 Customizations delivered under
this Agreement carry a ninety (90) day post-delivery warranty covering defects
that directly deviate from the agreed scope. Issues arising from subsequent
server changes, Tenant configurations, or scope modifications are not covered.
11.2 Annual Maintenance Contract
(AMC) — Optional
11.2.1 Following the expiry of the
Warranty Period, the Licensee may enter into an optional AMC. The AMC is priced
at fifteen percent (15%) of the Annual Combined Fee and covers: free software
updates and patches released by the Licensor (installation only upon Licensee's
request and permission); minor configuration assistance; functional query
support; ticket-based priority support with a twenty-four (24) business hour
response target during Business Hours (09:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday,
UAE time); and periodic security oversight of the server environment.
11.2.2 AMC coverage is provided to the
Licensee's SaaS Instance — not to individual Tenants. Tenants benefit from
updates as they are applied to the platform. The Licensor does not provide AMC
services directly to any SaaS Tenant.
11.2.3 AMC Lapse: If the AMC is not
renewed within thirty (30) days of its 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 year. Both must be paid before
reinstatement is processed.
11.2.4 Non-renewal of the AMC does not
affect the Licensee's active subscription right under this Agreement. The AMC
governs post-warranty maintenance — it does not affect the core SaaS
subscription.
SECTION 12: SUPPORT COMMUNICATION POLICY
12.1 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 sole authorized point of contact for all such
communications. Support will not be provided through informal channels except
in declared emergencies at the Licensor's discretion.
12.2 Online meeting requests require
twenty-four (24) hours advance notice. In-person meetings require three (3)
working days advance notice.

12.3 The Licensee is responsible for
providing first-level support triage to all SaaS Tenants before escalating to
the Licensor. Tenant issues should be diagnosed at the Licensee's level —
including browser cache checks, basic connectivity verification, and access
management — before a formal escalation ticket is raised.
SECTION 13: DATA PROTECTION, CONFIDENTIALITY
& SECURITY
13.1 Data Ownership
13.1.1 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 stored on the dedicated server.
13.1.2 The Licensor processes Licensee
and Tenant data solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and securing
the dedicated server environment. The Licensor will not sell, disclose, or use
such data for any unauthorized purpose.
13.2 Licensee's Data
Responsibilities
13.2.1 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: obtaining
Tenant consent to data storage on the Licensor's infrastructure; compliance
with UAE PDPL, GDPR, and any other applicable data protection laws; and
managing Tenant data access, retention, and deletion requests.
13.2.2 The Licensor does not accept data
subject requests from SaaS Tenants directly. All such requests must be managed
by the Licensee.
13.3 Sub-Processors &
Third-Party Data Handling
13.3.1 The Licensee provides a general
authorization for the Licensor to engage UAE-based infrastructure providers as
Sub-Processors for the dedicated standalone server environment. The Licensor
shall maintain an up-to-date list of all Sub-Processors and shall notify the
Licensee of any intended changes 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.
13.3.2 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.
13.4 Data Subject Rights & Right
to Erasure
13.4.1 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.
13.4.2 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 Tenants or their
users, but will provide technical assistance to the Licensee where the
cooperation of the Licensor's technical team is necessary.
13.5 UAE Data Office Oversight &
Regulatory Compliance
13.5.1 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 as they apply to the
Licensor's operations.
13.5.2 Data Protection Impact Assessment
(DPIA): If the Licensee is required by applicable UAE law to conduct a Data
Protection Impact Assessment in connection with 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
accurately and in a timely manner.
13.5.3 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 to ensure continued compliance.
13.6 Security
13.6.1 The Licensor implements
commercially reasonable security measures on the dedicated server including TLS
encryption in transit, encryption at rest, firewall protection, and role-based
access controls.
13.6.2 The Licensee is responsible for
managing all Authorized User and Tenant access credentials securely and
reporting any suspected security incident promptly through the support portal.
SECTION 14: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
14.1 The Software — including all
source code, modules, interfaces, algorithms, designs, updates, and
customizations — is and shall remain the sole and exclusive intellectual
property of RAIMS Digital Technologies. No intellectual property rights are
transferred to the Licensee or to any SaaS Tenant under this Agreement.
14.2 No source code is provided to the
Licensee under this plan. Customizations developed by the Licensor remain the
Licensor's intellectual property regardless of who funded the development.
14.3 Hosting the CRM on a dedicated
server within the Licensor's infrastructure does not grant the Licensee, any
Tenant, or any third party any right to access, modify, or claim ownership of
the Software's underlying code.
SECTION 15: BROWSER ENVIRONMENT MAINTENANCE
& CLIENT-SIDE PERFORMANCE
Risper CRM is accessed through the browser.
Browser cache accumulated from daily business use — across all websites and
applications — can affect how the CRM loads and displays on any user's device.
This applies equally to the Licensee's own team and to all SaaS Tenants.
15.1 The Licensor recommends that all
Authorized Users — including the Licensee's staff and all SaaS Tenants —
maintain good browser hygiene: clearing cache and cookies at least once per
week, keeping browsers updated, and avoiding excessive extensions that may
interfere with web application performance.
15.2 The Licensee is responsible for
incorporating browser maintenance guidance into its own Tenant onboarding and
support materials. Browser-related issues reported by Tenants — such as
outdated interface elements, slow loading, or login errors — should be triaged
by the Licensee by confirming cache has been cleared before raising an
escalation to the Licensor.
15.3 The Licensor's support team will
request confirmation that browser cache has been cleared as a standard first
step in diagnosing any performance or display issue. Where the issue is
confirmed as browser-side, the ticket will be resolved as a client-environment
resolution at the Licensee or Tenant level.
SECTION 16: SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL &
TERMINATION
16.1 Renewal
16.1.1 The Annual Combined Fee must be
renewed on or before the subscription expiry date. A thirty (30) day grace
period applies, after which the standalone server environment will be suspended
and all data — including all SaaS Tenant data — permanently deleted from the
Licensor's servers without possibility of recovery.
16.1.2 The Licensee is solely responsible
for notifying all SaaS Tenants of any impending subscription expiry and for
ensuring Tenant data is exported before the expiry date. The Licensor bears no
obligation toward SaaS Tenants for data loss arising from the Licensee's
failure to renew.
16.2 Termination for Cause
The Licensor may suspend or terminate this Agreement where the
Licensee:
•
Fails to pay the Annual Combined
Fee within the thirty (30) day grace period;
•
Commits a material breach and
fails to remedy within fifteen (15) calendar days of written notice;
•
Attempts unauthorized access to or
modification of the server environment;
•
Provides the CRM service to
Tenants in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement;
•
Uses the platform for illegal
purposes or in violation of applicable law.
16.3 Effect of Termination
16.3.1 Upon termination or expiry: all
Licensee and Tenant access ceases; all data is permanently deleted from the
server following the grace period; no refunds are provided for any unused
subscription period or paid fees.
16.3.2 The Licensee must notify all SaaS
Tenants of the service termination with sufficient advance notice and
facilitate data export before the termination date. The Licensor bears no
obligation toward SaaS Tenants following termination.
SECTION 17: REFUND ELIGIBILITY, ADOPTION
RESPONSIBILITY & DISPUTE CONDUCT
The Licensor is committed to the Licensee's
success and provides training, ongoing support, a dedicated development team,
and a dedicated server environment to ensure a positive experience.
17.1 Refund Eligibility: All fees are non-refundable
once the server has been activated or development has commenced. 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. Internal staff or Tenant non-adoption, low
platform usage, or business decisions to discontinue the service do not qualify
as refund grounds.
17.2 Adoption Responsibility: The
Licensor provides initial onboarding training and documentation to the
Licensee. All Tenant training, adoption support, and engagement are the
Licensee's responsibility. Business outcomes — including Tenant retention and
adoption rates — are within the Licensee's operational scope and do not affect
the finality of fees paid.
17.3 Dispute Conduct: All concerns
should be raised through the official support portal. Where a dispute cannot be
resolved through support, both parties agree to follow the formal dispute
resolution process in Section 19. All communications must remain professional
and respectful. The Licensor maintains server-side logs as an objective
reference in any dispute.
SECTION 18: GENERAL PROVISIONS
18.1 Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for failure or delay caused by
a Force Majeure Event. If it 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.
18.2 Branding Rights The Licensor may use the
Licensee's company name and project description in marketing materials. The

the Licensee's use of the Software, Tenant count, and server environment
compliance, with fifteen (15) Business Days advance notice.

Any changes to this Agreement require written consent from
both parties.
18.5 Entire Agreement This Agreement constitutes the
complete and exclusive agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior
discussions.
18.6 Severability

remaining provisions continue in full force.

The Licensee may not assign this Agreement without the
Licensor's prior written consent.
