1.1 Dugga AB, 559006-5198, S:t Eriksgatan 65, 113 32 Stockholm (”Dugga”)
1.2 […………., ……………..,……….., ……….](”The Customer”)
2.1 Dugga provides a digital assessment service (“The Service”).
2.2 Dugga’s software is installed on servers in Dugga’s storage partner’s facilities and through this subscription agreement (“The Agreement”) the customer gains access to the Service via the internet, by logging in with the assigned username and password or via SSO.
- ORDERS AND ALTERATION
3.1 By signing this agreement the Customer orders the services in the Offer/ Order/ Order Form, on the terms stated therein.
3.2 The customer may at any time extend the Agreement to include more users. This can be done, for example, by adding more users to Dugga’s administration interface or by adding users to the Customer’s learning platform or other system integrated with Dugga so that new users with the Customer have access to the Service. Such new users constitute new subscriptions, regardless of whether an order has been placed for Dugga or whether the Customer itself has added the new users. If the number of users thus exceeds the initial order, these excess subscriptions are invoiced for reconciliations that Dugga makes once per calendar quarter and the contract period is extended for the entire number of users with the Customer, so that the initial contract period is counted from the date of the last reconciliation where the increased number of users is stated. If the Customer wishes a different arrangement regarding the contract period, the Customer must sign a separate agreement for the excess subscriptions.
4.1 The agreement is valid for an initial period of two years from the signing or the longer period that will be the result of any increase in the number of users with the Customer according to point 3.2.
4.2 If termination is not made in writing within 90 days before the end of the initial contract period or extension period, the Agreement is automatically extended by two years at a time.
5.1 The right of access to the Service includes the number of users specified in the initial order according to this Agreement or later increase in the number of users.
5.2 Users may only be the Customer’s pupils/students, employees or consultants performing services for the Customer.
5.3 The Customer responds in relation to Dugga that the users meeting the conditions set out in this Agreement, including that:
- All use shall be in accordance with this Agreement and applicable and current laws and regulations.
- Required permits exist for the tasks, materials and information processed in connection with the Service.
- The Service may not be used for sending spam or other illegal material.
- Material containing software viruses and similar malicious computer codes, scripts, files or programs may not be stored or sent with the Service.
- Unauthorized access to the Service or associated networks or systems is prohibited.
- The Service may not be used in a manner that interferes with or obstructs the integrity or performance of the Service, or the information contained in the Service.
5.4 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that users take due care with passwords and that unauthorized people cannot access the Service or documentation linked to the Service.
5.5 The Customer may only use the Service for internal purposes. The Customer is not entitled to process data on behalf of another.
6.1 Dugga’s goal is that the Service’s accessibility should amount to 98.0 percent.
6.2 The following applies to the calculation of availability and consequences if the target according to 6.1 is not met:
- Percentage availability per month is defined as total minutes in a month minus the total number of minutes when the Service is unavailable during a given calendar month in relation to the total number of minutes during a calendar month.
- The inaccessibility of the Service is defined as a period of time when the Customer, for reasons attributable to Dugga, is unable to read or write any information for which they have permission and/or rights.
- Some types of maintenance will lead to service disruptions in the Service and these are not included as inaccessibility of the Service as set out above. The Customer shall as far as possible be informed of such maintenance work in good time. Maintenance should preferably be performed before or after normal office hours and in a manner that disrupts the Service as little as possible. However, the maintenance may be performed at short notice or without notice during office hours if this is necessary to correct errors in the Service or prevent the occurrence of errors in the Service.
- Access to the Service is dependent on internet access, which may be subject to restrictions, delays or other issues beyond Dugga’s control. Delays, delivery problems or inaccessibility due to such problems or other external factors such as the Customer’s equipment or software, is not included in the Service’s inaccessibility.
- If the Service’s availability is less than 98.0 percent during a calendar month and if this is caused by errors in Dugga’s environment, equipment or software, the Customer may require a proportionate reduction in the subscription fee for the current month.
- A condition for reducing the monthly fee is that the Customer reports the problem to Dugga’s support centre at ”[email protected]”, within 24 hours after the problem occurred. The Customer must provide all relevant information about the error, including a detailed description of the error, which operating system versions and browser versions were used, the number of affected users and where they are located, and any attempts made by the Customer to solve the problem.
- Unavailability begins to count when the Customer has informed Dugga of the error.
- Dugga alone decides what measures to take regarding reported accessibility problems and when. The Customer is not entitled to compensation other than the reduction of the monthly fee as mentioned above in case of lack of availability.
