Our legal framework is designed to support clear customer relationships and strong protection of data and rights. We use standard agreements, defined responsibilities, and documented safeguards across our services..
A TRANSPARENT CONTRACTUAL FOUNDATION
Clear agreements, consistent structure
We provide standard products and services and operate under a standardized contractual approach. This supports clarity and consistency across customer relationships and helps ensure that key legal topics are addressed in a structured way.
Our contractual framework typically includes:
- a Master Service Agreement (MSA)
- Terms and conditions
- a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
- relevant addendums where applicable
MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT
One framework that brings key terms together
Our agreements are structured under a Master Service Agreement (MSA). The MSA is designed to provide a consistent foundation that defines responsibilities, service terms, and legal safeguards.
Where relevant, the MSA can be supplemented with addendums upon request, for example, to support specific regulatory requirements such as NIS2 or DORA.

DATA PROTECTION AND CUSTOMER RIGHTS
Legal safeguards that protect data and responsibilities
We use contractual measures to support lawful and secure data handling, including:
- defined roles and responsibilities for processing
- clarity on customer data ownership
- transparency around subprocessors and oversight
- requirements for security and data protection practices
These safeguards are designed to support customers in meeting their own compliance obligations and vendor governance needs.
STAYING ALIGNED WITH LEGAL AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
Monitoring change to stay future-ready
We monitor legal and regulatory developments relevant to our services and customers, including GDPR, NIS2, DORA, the AI Act, and the Data Act. Where changes require updates to processes, documentation, or contractual language, we review and adapt accordingly.
This helps customers rely on a legal framework that remains clear, compliant, and aligned with evolving expectations.
