Decot Terms of Use

The following terms shall have the meanings set out below:

• "Decot," "we," "us," or "our" refers to Decot Ltd., and its affiliates.
• "Service" means the privacy-preserving Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform, including our web application (e.g., app.decot.io), APIs, SDKs, any associated software, documentation, and support services provided by Decot.
• "User," "you," or "your" means the individual or legal entity accessing or using the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
• "User Content" means any documents, data, text, files, information, and other materials that you upload, create, store, share, or otherwise process through the Service.
• "Wallet" means a compatible Sui blockchain signing identity used to interact with the Service and authorize transactions.
• "zkLogin" refers to the zero-knowledge login feature on the Sui network, enabling authentication using web credentials (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Apple accounts) to control a Sui address.
• "On-Chain Data" means data publicly recorded on the Sui blockchain, such as transaction identifiers, public Wallet addresses, cryptographic hashes of encrypted User Content, and metadata you designate for on-chain recording.
• "Off-Chain Data" means data stored outside the Sui blockchain, primarily the encrypted User Content.
• "Terms" means these Terms of Use, including any policies, guidelines, or amendments that may be incorporated by reference.

You acknowledge and agree to the following regarding interactions with the Sui blockchain (and potentially other blockchain or decentralized networks utilized by the Service):

• Public and Immutable: Transactions recorded on the Sui blockchain, including On-Chain Data such as cryptographic hashes of (encrypted) User Content, public Wallet addresses of participants, transaction IDs, and any metadata you choose to include in on-chain records, are publicly viewable and immutable. Once data is recorded on the blockchain, it generally cannot be altered or deleted by Decot or any other party.
• User Responsibility for On-Chain Data: You are responsible for the information you choose to associate with on-chain transactions. Carefully consider the nature of any metadata (e.g., contract titles, party identifiers) you configure to be part of On-Chain Data, as it will be public.
• No Control Over Blockchain Networks: Decot does not own or control the underlying Sui blockchain network or other decentralized networks (like Walrus or Arweave for storage). The operation, security, and availability of these networks are outside of Decot's direct control. Transactions on these networks may be subject to network congestion, fees (though Decot aims to subsidize gas fees for many standard operations, as detailed separately), and other factors that can affect performance or success.
• Wallet Security: Your interactions with the blockchain are conducted through your Wallet. The security of your Wallet and its private keys is your sole responsibility.

Access to certain features or levels of the Service may require payment of subscription fees or usage-based charges ("Fees"). Any applicable Fees will be set forth in a separate Order Form, on our website's pricing page, or as otherwise communicated to you by Decot.

• Unless otherwise stated, all Fees are quoted in the currency specified by Decot and are exclusive of any applicable taxes (such as VAT, GST, or sales tax), which you are responsible for paying.
• Fees are typically payable in advance for the subscription period or as incurred for usage-based services. Payment terms will be specified in the applicable Order Form or invoice.
• Late payments may incur interest charges and/or lead to suspension or termination of your access to the Service.
• All Fees are non-refundable, except as expressly stated in these Terms or as required by applicable law.
• Decot reserves the right to change its Fees or introduce new charges upon reasonable prior notice to you (which may be sent by email or posted on the Service).

You agree not to use the Service, nor permit any third party under your control to use the Service, to:

• Upload, store, transmit, or share any User Content that is unlawful, illegal, defamatory, libelous, obscene, pornographic, abusive, harassing, threatening, hateful, or otherwise objectionable in Decot's reasonable judgment.
• Infringe upon or violate the intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third party.
• Misrepresent your identity, impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
• Engage in any activity that is fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, damage, or disrupt any parts of the Service, the server on which the Service is stored, or any server, computer, or database connected to the Service. This includes probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any Decot system or network.
• Introduce any viruses, trojan horses, worms, logic bombs, or other material that is malicious or technologically harmful.
• Use the Service for any illegal purpose, or in violation of any local, state, national, or international law, including, without limitation, laws governing intellectual property and other proprietary rights, data protection and privacy, and import or export control.
• Use the Service to facilitate or engage in money laundering, terrorist financing, or transactions that violate applicable economic sanctions.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Service, except to the extent that such activities are expressly permitted by applicable law despite this limitation.

Decot reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action (including suspension or termination of your account) against anyone who, in Decot's sole discretion, violates this Acceptable Use Policy.

"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by one party ("Discloser") to the other party ("Recipient"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Your Confidential Information includes your unencrypted User Content. Decot's Confidential Information includes the non-public aspects of the Service and its underlying technology.

The Recipient agrees to:

• Use the Discloser's Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under these Terms.
• Protect the Discloser's Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care.
• Not disclose the Discloser's Confidential Information to any third party, except to its employees, contractors, and agents who have a need to know for the purposes of these Terms and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those herein.

These confidentiality obligations will not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the Recipient; (b) was in the Recipient's lawful possession before disclosure by the Discloser; (c) is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Discloser's Confidential Information; or (d) is rightfully received by the Recipient from a third party without a duty of confidentiality. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information if required by law, provided that the Recipient gives the Discloser prompt written notice of such requirement (to the extent legally permitted) and cooperates with the Discloser's reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order.

Specifically regarding User Content, Decot's architecture is designed such that Decot personnel do not have access to the decryption keys for your client-side encrypted documents, and therefore cannot view the unencrypted content of such documents, except under very limited circumstances where you might explicitly grant temporary access for support purposes or as compelled by law.

Our collection, use, and protection of your Personal Data in connection with your use of the Service is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.

The Service may integrate with or provide links to third-party websites, applications, or services (collectively, "Third-Party Services"), such as identity providers used in custom ZK login flows (e.g., Google, Apple), or decentralized storage networks (e.g., Walrus, Arweave).

Decot does not own, control, or operate these Third-Party Services, and your use of them is subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of their respective providers. Decot is not responsible or liable for the content, products, services, availability, security, or practices of any Third-Party Services. Accessing any Third-Party Services is at your own risk.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DECOT AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

DECOT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR USE OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, WALLETS, ZKLOGIN, AND DECENTRALIZED STORAGE NETWORKS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. DECOT MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE, SECURITY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THESE UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGIES, WHICH ARE OUTSIDE OF DECOT'S DIRECT CONTROL.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL DECOT, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY USER CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT DECOT HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DECOT’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES, IF ANY, PAID BY YOU TO DECOT FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED POUNDS STERLING (£100.00).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Decot, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your User Content; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your use of the Service in a manner not expressly authorized by these Terms; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of a third party.

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms or the Service shall be instituted exclusively in the courts of London, England, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

Decot reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will make reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect (e.g., by posting a notice on the Service or sending an email to the address associated with your account). What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, in whole or in part, please stop using the Service.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, or if you wish to exercise your privacy rights, please contact us at:

We will endeavor to address your inquiry promptly and efficiently.
