Aggregated Data does not include any Personal Information relating to Customers, Customers’ customers, Authorized Users or customers, or other information that can reasonably identify or relate to a natural person.
- Protection of Customer Data, Personal Information, and Confidential Information. Each Party is responsible for compliance with Applicable Laws, including applicable data protection legal requirements, for the purposes of the Agreement. To the extent commercially reasonable, KTGROUP will implement and maintain technical, administrative, physical, and security safeguards to prevent any unauthorized disclosure, access to, or publication of, Customer Data, Confidential Information, or Personal Information. KTGROUP will implement and maintain, on commercially reasonable terms, appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards and security methods designed to prevent any unauthorized release, access, or publication of Client Data, Confidential Information, or Personal Information. KTGROUP will implement processes and maintain procedures designed to comply with Applicable Laws and facilitate Customer’s data security obligations with respect to Personal Information in KTGROUP’s possession or control to the extent Customer is required to comply with the following: (i) General Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 13,709/18); (ii) Civil Rights Framework for the Internet (Law No. 12,965/2014); (iii) any other existing or future Applicable Laws, and (iv) amendments and successions to the foregoing laws.

KTGROUP may use subcontractors to facilitate its obligations under this Agreement and KTGROUP shall be liable for the acts and omissions of such subcontractors in connection with this Agreement as if they were performed by KTGROUP. KTGROUP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that these subcontractors implement and comply with reasonable security measures for handling the Client Data, Personal Information or Confidential Client Information.
- Data Transfers. KTGROUP may process Customer Data using servers or cloud services established inside or outside Brazil, including the use of KTGROUP third-party services. In such cases, KTGROUP will adopt or require third parties to adopt, through contractual clauses (or other reasonable means), commercially reasonable security measures designed to keep the Customer Data secure and confidential.
- Notification. KTGROUP will notify the Client, as soon as reasonably practicable and within 72 hours after KTGROUP’s confirmation, of the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of any Client Data, Client’s Confidential Information, or Personal Information under KTGROUP’s control. KTGROUP will provide the Client with information relating to such incident as required by Applicable Laws or as reasonably requested by the Client to enable the Client to comply with its obligations under the Applicable Laws. KTGROUP will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) identify the cause of the incident, and (ii) remediate the cause of the incident within KTGROUP’s systems, to the extent such remediation is within KTGROUP’s reasonable control.
- SUSPENSION OF SERVICE AND DISPUTES
- General. KTGROUP will make a good faith effort to contact and provide prior notice to the Client prior to any suspension. To the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, KTGROUP will endeavor to resolve with the Client any circumstances that may give rise to KTGROUP’s suspension rights, which include, without limitation, the following: (i) a material risk to the security or performance of the Services, the network, or any other KTGROUP Client or business partner; (ii) use of the Services in violation of the Agreement; (iii) the Client ceases to operate in its normal course, makes a creditor assignment or similar disposition of the Client’s assets, or becomes the subject of any bankruptcy, judicial reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding that is not resolved within 60 days of the corresponding request; or (iv) the Customer is in default of its payment obligations for any undisputed amounts. Unless otherwise agreed to signed, payment will be considered delinquent if it is not received within 15 days after the due date set forth on an invoice. KTGROUP acknowledges that suspending Customer’s right to access or use, some or part of the Services is a significant action, and therefore KTGROUP will not exercise this remedy except in good faith and as necessary to resolve the issue giving rise to KTGROUP’s right to suspend the Services. KTGROUP will also pursue other less drastic measures as appropriate, including collaborating with Customer to isolate the issue and escalating unresolved issues to Customer’s and KTGROUP’s senior management. KTGROUP will not delete any Customer Data during the suspension period.
- Effect of Suspension. If KTGROUP suspends the Client’s ability to access the Services, (i) the Client remains responsible for all payments and charges, including the Services to which access is retained by the Client, if any; and (ii) the Client shall not be entitled to any compensation or credits for any period of suspension, unless the suspension is due to KTGROUP’s error or omission.
- Non-agreement with payment. Any non-agreement of the Client regarding payments must be informed in writing to KTGROUP’s financial department in financeiro@KTGROUP.com or to the representative of the Client’s account, within 30 days of the date of the invoice that gave rise to the non-agreement. KTGROUP will not exercise its suspension or termination rights or apply interest on late payments if the Client reasonably and in good faith disputes the applicable charges and provides reasonable cooperation to resolve the conflict.
- TERM AND TERMINATION
- Term of the Agreement. The term of the Agreement (the “Term”) begins on the Effective Date of the Initial Subscription Term of the first Service purchased and ends on the date of termination or expiration of the final Subscription Term.
- Subscription Terms. Customer may purchase subscriptions to one or more Services during the Term. The effective term of each subscription is a “Subscription Term” and, depending on the timing and agreed terms of the applicable Proposals, such subscriptions may or may not have different Subscription Terms. Each Subscription Term begins on an “Effective Date”, which is either (1) the date on which KTGROUP includes the Client’s Proposal in KTGROUP’s billing system or (2) an alternate date jointly agreed upon by the Parties in writing.
- Initial Subscription Term. The Initial Subscription Term for a Service (the “Initial Subscription Term”) is one year, beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Proposal specifies a different period.
- Automatic Renewal. At the end of the then-current Subscription Term, each subscription to a Service will automatically renew for an additional period of one year (a “Renewal Subscription Term”), unless (a) Customer provides written notice of non-renewal to KTGROUP by the expiration of the Initial Subscription Term or the then-current Renewal Subscription Term, or (b) KTGROUP provides written notice of non-renewal to Customer at least 90 days prior to such expiration date. Customers must send a notice of non-renewal or termination to financeiro@KTGROUP.com. KTGROUP will send an invoice to the Customer before the next Renewal Subscription Term.
- Subscription to Upgraded or Additional Services. If Customer upgrades any of the Service subscriptions during a Subscription Term, the Subscription Term for the upgraded Service will coincide with the then-current Subscription Term. In the event of any update, KTGROUP will invoice the Client the applicable update value in force, plus an amount corresponding to the difference between the original Service value and the updated Service value. If Customer subscribes to an additional Service, the Subscription Term for that Service will begin on the Effective Date for that Service and Customer will be charged separately for the applicable service subscription fees and annual fee for the Additional Service.
- Termination for Breach or Cause. Either Party may terminate the Agreement or any related Services upon notice (i) if the other Party materially breaches its obligations under the Agreement and, if the breach is capable of remedy, there is a failure to correct performance within 30 days of the date of notice of breach; or (ii) if the other Party ceases to operate in the normal course, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes the subject of any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding that is not resolved within 60 days after its opening.
- Consequences of Termination for Breach or Cause. If Customer terminates the Agreement or any Service due to KTGROUP’s material breach, KTGROUP will refund to Customer a prorated amount (prorata) of any subscription fees already paid for the Service (excluding any activation fee or any other one-time fee) applicable to the unused portion of the Subscription Term of the terminated Services. If KTGROUP terminates the Agreement or any Service due to the Customer’s material breach, KTGROUP will not refund any amounts to the Customer.
- General Effects of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement: (i) all of Customer’s rights granted under the Agreement will immediately cease (except for those that will survive termination); (ii) except as set forth in Section 6(d) (Termination for Breach or Cause), Customer will remain liable for all amounts, charges, expenses, and any other obligations Customer has incurred during Customer’s subscription; (iii) if requested by the other Party, each Party will immediately return or, if so directed, destroy the other Party’s Confidential Information in its possession or control, except for that contained in automatic computer backups; and (iv) KTGROUP will destroy or replace Customer Data and Personal Information within a reasonable period of time, subject to Section 6(g) (Data Return and Retention) and KTGROUP’s data reservation and retention policies, which will be subject to the confidentiality of these Terms. If this Agreement or any Service is terminated prior to the completion of one or more SOWs, such termination will not affect the continuation of such SOW, if the SOW provides for a longer term. All provisions that by their nature survive termination shall have that effect (including, by way of example and not limitation, payment obligations, indemnification and defense obligations, and duties of confidentiality).
- Data Return and Retention. Upon Customer’s request received no later than 30 days after the termination of this Agreement, KTGROUP will provide Customer with an export file of Customer Data stored on KTGROUP’s systems, in a format commonly used by KTGROUP. In order to comply with certain tax audit requirements, KTGROUP may retain some Customer Data, provided that such retained Customer Data will continue to be subject to the confidentiality clauses contained herein for as long as it is retained.
- PAYMENTS AND TAXES
- Payments. The Client will pay all amounts specified in each Proposal. The Customer may be billed on the basis of the Proposal and on usage-based prices. Except as otherwise specified in these Terms or in a Proposal: (i) prices are calculated and payable in Reais; and (ii) payment obligations are non-cancellable and prices paid are non-refundable. Unless otherwise specified in a Proposal, KTGROUP will invoice the Client for any renewals, upgrades, overage amounts and additional Services purchased.
- Surplus. If the Client exceeds the number of Documents set forth in its Proposal, the Client shall pay the excess Document charges. Excess amounts will be charged according to the criteria specified in the Proposal, and in any Renewal Subscription Term, KTGROUP’s excess prices in effect at the time of renewal will be applied. Customer may request to upgrade their subscription level at any time by sending an email to financeiro@KTGROUP.com.
- Subscription Plans. Customer’s subscription plan for the Services is specified in the applicable Proposal. Customer may not reduce Customer’s commitment to the Service subscription plan specified in the Proposal during the Service Subscription Term. Customer is not entitled to any refund of amounts paid or cancellation of payments due if the volume of Services that Customer actually uses is less than the volume contracted by Customer and Customer may not transfer any unused volume to Customer’s next Subscription Term. If Customer wishes to reduce the volume of a Service subscription plan, Customer must notify KTGROUP at least 30 days prior to the start of the next Renewal Subscription Term for the applicable Service; the reduction will be effective at the beginning of the next Renewal Subscription Term.
- Taxes. Customer is responsible for any applicable taxes, including, without limitation, taxes arising from any sales, uses, contributions, value-added or similar (collectively, “Taxes”) payable in connection with Customer’s order for Customer Services or KTGROUP Professional Services, determined by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction. Unless expressly specified otherwise in any Proposal, all fees, tariffs, and estimates are exclusive of sales taxes. KTGROUP is solely responsible for taxes based on KTGROUP’s net income, assets, payroll, property and employees.
- Annual increases. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, after the Initial Subscription Term, Service fees will be subject to annual increases at the current pricing level, which will not exceed the General Market Price Index (“IGPM”) for the previous calendar year and will be effective as of the first day of each Renewal Subscription Term.
- CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
- Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information designated by a Party as confidential, or which, under the circumstances, would reasonably be understood by the receiving Party to be confidential and which is disclosed by either Party to the other Party, regardless of the form of disclosure. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, with respect to KTGROUP, KTGROUP Technology and Documentation, and with respect to Customer, all Customer Data and Personal Information, and with respect to both Parties, all information regarding business plans, customers and customer lists, data, projects, financial information, forecasts, Inventions, know-how, methods, market analysis, pricing, products, pre-release offerings, research and development, security policies and processes, source code and object code, and strategies of the disclosing Party.

- Disclosures Required by Law. If any applicable law, regulation, or court or administrative order requires the receiving Party to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party (a “Disclosure Order”), then, unless otherwise prohibited by the Disclosure Order, the receiving Party shall promptly notify the disclosing Party in writing prior to making such disclosure in order to facilitate the disclosing Party’s efforts to protect its Confidential Information. Upon such notice, the receiving Party shall cooperate with the disclosing Party, at the disclosing Party’s reasonable expense, to seek and obtain protection for the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a consent by the disclosing Party, the receiving Party is legally required to disclose Confidential Information by any court, regulatory body, agency or similar entity, the receiving Party may disclose, without liability provided herein, the portion of the Confidential Information legally required to be disclosed and the receiving Party will use its best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Remaining Confidential Information.
- Restrictions on Use and Disclosure. Subject to the permitted disclosures set forth in Section 8(c); (Disclosures Required by Law), the receiving Party shall hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose, directly or indirectly, Confidential Information to any third party, except as otherwise permitted by the Terms. The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to an employee, advisor or consultant (“Representatives”) who needs such access to perform the Party’s obligations under the Agreement, on the condition that the receiving Party: (i) ensures that such Representatives are bound by a written agreement that is as substantially protective as these Terms; and (ii) accept full responsibility for the Representatives’ use of the Confidential Information. The receiving Party shall protect the Confidential Information from unauthorized access and disclosure with the same degree of care, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care, used to protect its own Confidential Information and refrain from reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly of any Confidential Information.

iii. The warranties contained in this Section 9(b) (KTGROUP Warranties) do not apply to the extent that the KTGROUP Services, systems, software, or Professional Services have been modified by persons other than KTGROUP employees or persons authorized by KTGROUP.

- MODIFICATIONS
- Subject to the restrictions in this Section 10 (Modifications), KTGROUP may modify these Terms or any Supplemental Terms. If KTGROUP modifies these Terms or any Supplemental Terms, it shall provide prior written notice (“Modification Notice”) to the Client of such modifications at least 30 days prior to the effective of the modifications. If the modifications adversely affect the Customer and the Customer does not wish to accept such modifications, the Customer may terminate the Customer’s subscription to the affected Service by notice to KTGROUP, subject to the terms of this Section 11 (Modifications).
- If the Modification Notice provides that the modifications will be effective upon the commencement of a Renewal Subscription Term, an upgrade to the level of the Service purchased by the Customer, or the purchase of an additional Service by the Customer, the modifications will become effective for ALL Services affected by the changes after such upgrade, renewal of Service or purchase of an additional Service. Customer may avoid the applicability of the changes only by canceling Customer’s subscription renewal prior to the start of the Renewal Subscription Term or by choosing not to upgrade or purchase additional Service(s).
- If the Modification Notice provides that the modifications will be effective during the then-current Subscription Term, Customer may terminate the subscription to the affected Service at any time within 30 days after the date of the Modification Notice. Customer’s termination shall be effective on the later occurrence between (i) the date Customer delivers notice of termination, or (ii) the date the applicable modifications become effective, provided that KTGROUP continues to provide the Services to Customer necessary to manage a reasonable transition to another supplier, not to exceed 60 days, at KTGROUP’s current prices for Services subscribed to by the Client. If Customer terminates a Service subscription pursuant to this Section 10(c) (Modifications), Customer will be entitled to a prorated (prorata) refund of any Service subscription amounts already paid for the terminated Service for the unused portion of the Subscription Term. For clarity, the subscription prices for the Service do not include any installation, activation, time and material fees, Professional Service charges, or other Expenses incurred in connection with the Services or KTGROUP Professional Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer elects to terminate during Customer’s Initial Subscription Term by virtue of the Modification Notice, Customer will be refunded any activation fees.
- If Customer does not terminate the affected Service subscription as specified in this Section 10 (Modifications), Customer will be bound by the modified terms initiated on the effective date set forth in the Modification Notice.
- EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN CLAIMS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
- Exclusion of Certain Claims. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party or any other party for any consequential, indirect, special, punitive, incidental, exemplary, or lost damages of any nature, foreseeable or unforeseeable, including damages for loss of data, goodwill, investments, use of money or use of facilities, interruption in the use or availability of data, stoppage of other work, or deterioration of other assets, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, arising out of (i) performance/performance or non-performance/performance of the Agreement or products, software, or services provided under the Agreement (ii) any claim, cause of action, breach of contract, indemnity, or any express or implied warranty, misrepresentation, negligence, strict liability, or other tort. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, a Party’s breach of its confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 8 (Confidential Information), or a Party’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10 (Indemnification).
- Limitation of Liability. Except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, a Party’s aggregate liability shall not exceed the amounts paid or to be paid by the Client to KTGROUP under the Agreement in the period of the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. The preceding sentence does not apply to a Party’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10 (Indemnification), Customer’s obligations to pay amounts and expenses when due and payable, failure to comply with the acceptable use policy by Customer, Customer’s Affiliates, or Authorized Users, or any infringement or misappropriation by a Party of any Intellectual Property rights of the other Party.
- Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to claims of infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property, misuse of Confidential Information or Personal Information, or Customer’s failure to pay amounts due, neither Party may assert any claim under the Agreement if more than two years have elapsed after the events giving rise to the claim.
- General. Customer agrees that these exclusions and limitations apply even if the remedies are insufficient to cover all loss or damage to Customer, its Affiliates, or Authorized Users. Customer agrees that without these limitations, the price charged for the Services would be significantly higher. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some or all of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply and the Parties may have additional rights.
