SECTION 4: HOSTING, INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICE LEVELS
4.1 Hosted Service Delivery
4.1.1 Under the Yearly Hosted Plan, the
Software is hosted exclusively on the Licensor's cloud infrastructure. The
Licensee shall not install, copy, or host the Software on its own servers or
any third-party infrastructure.
4.1.2 The Licensor shall maintain and
operate the hosting infrastructure with commercially reasonable care,
implementing industry-standard practices including firewalls, encryption (data
in transit via TLS and data at rest), and access controls.
4.1.3 The Licensor reserves the right to
modify, update, or change the underlying hosting infrastructure, server
providers, or technical architecture at any time, provided that such changes do
not materially degrade the service levels described herein.
4.1.4 Data Residency Compliance:
The Licensor guarantees that all Confidential Data and Personal Data belonging
to the Licensee shall be hosted exclusively on servers 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 PDPL.
4.2 Service Availability &
Uptime
4.2.1 The Licensor targets a platform
availability of ninety-nine percent (99%) measured on a monthly basis,
excluding scheduled maintenance windows and events outside the Licensor's
reasonable control.
4.2.2 Scheduled maintenance shall be
communicated to the Licensee's designated contact via email at least
forty-eight (48) hours in advance. Maintenance is preferably scheduled outside
Business Hours.
4.2.3 Emergency maintenance may be
performed without advance notice where necessary to protect the security or
integrity of the platform.
4.2.4 The Licensor shall not be liable
for any downtime, service interruption, or data unavailability caused by: (a)
internet service provider failures; (b) the Licensee's local network, hardware,
or browser issues; (c) third-party integration failures; (d) Force Majeure
Events; or (e) the Licensee's own actions or omissions.
4.3 Domain Configuration &
License Binding
4.3.1 Each Yearly Hosted Plan license is
permanently bound to one Unique License ID and one Primary Domain specified on
the cover page of this Agreement.
4.3.2 If the Licensee elects to use a
branded/custom CRM domain URL, the Licensee must supply a unique domain name
that is: (a) exclusively reserved for CRM use; and (b) not currently connected
to any other service including websites, email servers, DNS records pointing to
other applications, or any other web application.
4.3.3 The purchase, renewal,
configuration, and ongoing maintenance of the Primary Domain are the sole
responsibility of the Licensee. If the domain registration lapses or expires,
the CRM will go offline. The Licensor shall not be responsible for any downtime,
data loss, or service interruption arising from domain expiry or
misconfiguration.
4.3.4 If the Licensee connects the CRM
domain to a domain already hosting other services (contrary to clause 4.3.2),
the Licensor shall not be responsible for any resulting losses, downtime, data
conflicts, service disruption, or any other negative consequences.
4.3.5 Operating the Software
concurrently on multiple domains under a single license is strictly prohibited.
Each additional domain requires the purchase of a separate license.
4.3.6 Domain migration to a new primary
domain is permitted subject to advance written request and payment of
applicable migration fees (see Section 11).
4.4 Storage Allocation
4.4.1 Each Yearly Plan subscription
includes one hundred (100) gigabytes (GB) of storage for CRM data, including
but not limited to proposals, invoices, documents, client records, and system
files.
4.4.2 Storage usage will be monitored by
the Licensor. If the Licensee's usage approaches or exceeds the included
allocation, the Licensor will notify the Licensee and additional storage may be
purchased at the rate of AED 100 per 10 GB block.
4.4.3 The Licensor is not responsible
for data loss arising from exceeding storage limits where the Licensee has
failed to purchase additional storage or reduce usage after notification.
4.5 Backups
4.5.1 The Licensor maintains routine
system-level backups of the hosted environment for disaster recovery purposes.
These backups are intended to support platform restoration, not individual
client data recovery.
4.5.2 The Licensor does not guarantee
the availability of backups for restoration in all circumstances. Backups may
not be available in cases of large-scale infrastructure failures, cyberattacks,
or Force Majeure Events.
4.5.3 The Licensee is solely responsible
for maintaining its own independent backups of all critical business data using
the Software's built-in export features (e.g., Export to Excel). The Licensor
strongly recommends regular exports as part of the Licensee's business
continuity plan.
SECTION 5: DATA PROTECTION, CONFIDENTIALITY & SECURITY
5.1 Data Ownership

property of the Licensee at all times. This Agreement does not transfer any
ownership of such data to the Licensor.

liable for breaches arising from zero-day exploits, nation-state attacks, or
other unforeseen and sophisticated cyber threats beyond the Licensor's
reasonable control.

by weak or compromised passwords, phishing attacks, insider threats, or any
negligence by the Licensee or its Authorized Users.

Compliance
5.5.1 The Licensor shall process
personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including
GDPR (where applicable) and UAE PDPL.

is responsible for ensuring that its collection, use, and processing of
personal data through the Software complies with all applicable laws,
regulations, and any required consents from data subjects.

the Software any data that is illegal, defamatory, violates third-party
intellectual property rights, or is otherwise prohibited under applicable law.
5.5.4 Use of Sub-Processors:
The Licensee provides a general authorization for the Licensor to use AWS UAE
as a sub-processor. The Licensor shall maintain a list of all sub-processors
and shall notify the Licensee of any intended changes or additions. The
Licensor remains fully liable for the data protection performance of any
sub-processor.
5.5.5 Data Subject Rights:
The Software shall provide functional tools to enable the Licensee (as Data
Controller) to fulfil requests from individuals for data access, correction,
and the "Right to be Forgotten" (Erasure) as mandated by the
UAE PDPL.

& Impact Assessments:
- UAE Data Office Oversight: 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). The Licensor (RAIMS) agrees to comply with all
circulars and executive regulations issued by the UAE Data Office.
- Assistance with DPIA: If the Licensee (the
Client) is required by UAE law to conduct a Data Protection Impact
Assessment (DPIA)—which is a formal report on how data is
protected—the Licensor agrees to provide the Client with all necessary
technical information and documentation regarding the CRM’s security
architecture to help them complete that report.
5.6 Data Portability & Deletion
on Termination
5.6.1 Upon written request from the
Licensee prior to the expiry or termination of this Agreement, the Licensor
shall provide the Licensee with a reasonable data export of its Confidential
Data in a standard machine-readable format within ten (10) Business Days of the
request.
5.6.2 Upon termination or expiry of this
Agreement (including where data is deleted following the Grace Period under
Section 3.4), the Licensor shall permanently delete the Licensee's Confidential
Data from active systems within a commercially reasonable timeframe, subject to
any mandatory regulatory retention obligations.

backup copies for a limited period post-deletion as required by its internal
backup retention policy and applicable law, after which such copies will also
be deleted.

SECTION 19: BROWSER ENVIRONMENT MAINTENANCE & CLIENT-SIDE PERFORMANCE
Risper CRM is a web-based platform accessed
through the Licensee's internet browser. Like all web applications, its
performance on any given device is influenced by the condition of the browser
environment. To ensure a consistently smooth CRM experience, the Licensor and
Licensee share a mutual interest in maintaining good browser health practices.
This section provides guidance on the Licensee's role in that process.
19.1 Understanding Browser Cache
& Its Effect on Web Applications
19.1.1 Browsers are designed to store
temporary data — including website files, cookies, session information, and
browsing history — from all web activity conducted on a device. This process,
known as caching, is a standard browser function intended to improve general browsing
speed. Over time, however, this stored data accumulates across all websites and
applications visited during the course of normal daily business use.
19.1.2 When cached data becomes outdated
or excessive, it can affect how web-based applications load and display on that
device. In the context of Risper CRM, this may present as: pages not displaying
correctly; interface elements appearing outdated following a system update;
buttons or navigation not responding as expected; login sessions expiring
earlier than usual; or data not reflecting the latest entries. These are
recognised browser-side conditions commonly experienced across web-based
business platforms and are not indicative of a defect in the CRM software
itself.
19.1.3 The Licensor wishes to highlight,
in the interest of transparency, that the volume of cached data in a browser is
influenced by the totality of that browser's use — not solely CRM activity. A
browser used actively for day-to-day business tasks will naturally accumulate
cache more rapidly, and periodic clearing of that cache is considered standard
maintenance practice for any professional using web-based tools.
19.2 Browser Storage & Saved
Data Considerations
19.2.1 The Licensor recognises that the
Licensee's staff use their browsers for a broad range of daily business
functions, which may include saving passwords, accessing multiple web portals,
and managing various online accounts. The Licensor does not seek to restrict or
interfere with these general working practices.
19.2.2 It is, however, important for the
Licensee to be aware that browser-stored data from all sources — including
passwords, autofill entries, and site-specific preferences — contributes to the
overall data load managed by the browser. When this load is not periodically
cleared, it may affect the browser's ability to correctly load and interact
with any web application, including the CRM. This is a technical characteristic
of how browsers operate across all web platforms, and is not specific to Risper
CRM.
19.2.3 On occasions where a browser
carries a significant volume of stored data, the Licensee may observe that the
CRM login page loads an older cached version, previously saved credentials are
incorrectly applied to the login form, or certain interface updates do not
appear as expected. Clearing the browser's cache and stored data is the
standard resolution for these conditions and typically restores normal CRM
behaviour immediately.
19.3 Recommended Browser Maintenance
Practices
19.3.1 In the interest of maintaining
consistent CRM performance, the Licensor strongly recommends that all
Authorized Users incorporate regular browser cache clearing into their routine
device maintenance. This practice benefits not only CRM usage but the overall
performance of all web-based tools and platforms accessed from the same
browser.
19.3.2 The Licensor recommends cache
clearing at a minimum frequency of once per week for users who access the CRM
regularly, and promptly following any CRM update communication issued by the
Licensor. Cache may be cleared through the browser's own settings or through
reputable system maintenance tools. Where such tools are used, the Licensee is
advised to ensure that the process runs to full completion, as an incomplete
clearing may not fully resolve browser-side display conditions.
19.3.3 When the Licensor's support team
assists with a reported CRM issue, confirming that browser cache has been
cleared is a standard first step in the diagnostic process. The Licensee's
cooperation in completing this step thoroughly, prior to escalating any concern,
is appreciated and will in most cases lead to a faster resolution.
19.4 Support & Troubleshooting —
Browser Maintenance as a First Step
19.4.1 For the most efficient resolution
of any reported display, performance, or access issue, the Licensor kindly
requests that the Licensee complete the following sscedteps before raising a
formal support ticket: (a) clear all browser cache, cookies, and stored
browsing data; (b) close the browser fully and reopen it; (c) attempt to access
the CRM again on the refreshed browser session; and (d) if the concern persists
following these steps, proceed to raise a support ticket through
https://connect.raimsdigital.com/
19.4.2 Where the Licensor's support team
identifies that a reported issue was attributable to browser cache conditions,
the resolution will be recorded as a client-environment resolution. The
Licensor remains committed to supporting the Licensee through such instances
and, where patterns emerge, may proactively offer a browser maintenance
guidance session to the Licensee's team as a complementary measure.
19.4.3 The Licensor's support team is
available to guide any Authorized User through the cache-clearing process if
required. This assistance is offered in the spirit of partnership, and the
Licensor encourages the Licensee to reach out through the support portal
whenever guidance is needed.
19.5 Browser Compatibility &
Best Practice Recommendations
19.5.1 Risper CRM is optimized for the
current stable releases of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The Licensor
recommends that all Authorized Users keep their browsers updated to ensure
compatibility with the latest CRM features and security standards.
19.5.2 For the best CRM experience, the
Licensor additionally recommends: limiting the number of active browser
extensions that may intercept or modify web requests; avoiding simultaneous CRM
sessions across multiple open tabs; and ensuring a stable internet connection
of at least 5 Mbps for uninterrupted access. These practices, while not
mandatory obligations, are likely to contribute to a noticeably smoother
day-to-day CRM experience for all users.
SECTION 20: REFUND ELIGIBILITY, STAFF ADOPTION & DISPUTE RESOLUTION
CONDUCT
The Licensor is fully committed to client
success and provides training, ongoing support, and platform updates to ensure
a positive experience. This section clarifies the responsibilities of both
parties to maintain a fair and professional working relationship.
20.1 Refund Eligibility
20.1.1 As stated in Section 3.3, all fees
are non-refundable once the Software is activated and login credentials are
issued. A refund request will be considered valid only where a reproducible,
documented software defect has been formally reported through the support
portal and the Licensor has been unable to resolve it within a reasonable
timeframe.
20.1.2 The following do not qualify as
grounds for a refund: internal staff resistance or non-adoption of the CRM; low
or no usage following activation; dissatisfaction with the CRM where no
technical defect exists; or the Licensee's decision to discontinue use
mid-subscription for internal business reasons unrelated to software
performance.
20.1.3 Where a refund request is
received, the Licensor will review system access logs, usage records, and
support history as part of a standard and objective assessment process.
20.2 Staff Adoption Responsibility
20.2.1 The Licensor understands that
adopting a new system requires an adjustment period. To support this,
onboarding training, user guides, and helpdesk support are provided. The
Licensor encourages the Licensee to make full use of these resources, and
additional training sessions can be arranged at standard rates if needed.
20.2.2 The internal adoption and daily
use of the CRM remains the Licensee's organizational responsibility. The
Licensor's obligations are fulfilled upon delivering a fully functioning
platform, providing access credentials, and conducting the agreed training. Business
outcomes, team engagement, and internal change management are within the
Licensee's scope.
20.3 Raising Concerns & Disputes
20.3.1 The Licensor welcomes all genuine
feedback and concerns. Any issue with the Software or service should be raised
through the official support portal at https://connect.raimsdigital.com/ so it
can be properly logged, investigated, and resolved in a timely manner.
20.3.2 Where a concern cannot be resolved
through support, both parties agree to follow the formal dispute resolution
process in Section 17, beginning with a good-faith negotiation period. All
communications — written, verbal, or digital — are expected to remain
professional and respectful throughout.
20.3.3 The Licensor maintains server-side
logs of system availability, user activity, and support interactions, which
serve as an objective reference in any dispute and will be made available to a
recognized arbitration body upon request. Any formal legal matter will be
handled through the Licensor's legal counsel in accordance with Section 17.
