Data Ownership and Portability
Ownership: Rezometry generally maintains that the client retains full ownership of their data. The platform acts as a custodian, processing and storing data on behalf of the client.
Data Access & Export: Clients typically have the right to access, view, and export their data in standard formats (e.g., CSV, Excel, API access). This ensures data portability and prevents vendor lock-in.
Data Deletion: Upon contract termination, clients usually have the right to request the deletion or transfer of their data, subject to any legal or contractual obligations.
Security & Confidentiality: Rezometry follows strict confidentiality protocols to protect client data, ensuring it is used solely for agreed purposes.
Scaling Up / Down
Flexibility: Rezometry generally offers flexible terms to accommodate organizational growth or restructuring.
Subscription Adjustment: Clients can typically scale their licenses, user seats, or feature access up or down with short-term notice, often monthly or quarterly.
Amendments: Changes to the service scope are formalized via amendments or addendum to the contract.
Cost Implications: Scaling up may incur additional setup or licensing fees, while scaling down might involve a notice period or early termination penalties, depending on the agreement.
The terms & conditions for contract renewal and cancellation
Renewal Policies:
Usually, contracts are renewed automatically annually unless either party provides notice of non-renewal within a specified period (e.g., 30 to 90 days before expiration).
Renewal terms can include renegotiation clauses for pricing or features.
Cancellation Terms:
Clients often can cancel with a notice period (e.g., 30 days), after which the agreement terminates.
Early termination may involve cancellation fees or penalty clauses, especially if custom implementation or setup costs were paid upfront.
