Dilicheck Master Subscription Agreement
Last revised: July, 2025
This Dilicheck Master Subscription Agreement (“MSA”) entered into by and between Dilicheck [legal entity details], (“Dilicheck”), and the entity or person (i) executing an order form for the Services that expressly references this MSA (“Order Form”), or (ii) signing up for and accessing the Services on a free trial basis (“Trial Services/Freemium”) who, in each case, agrees to be bound by this MSA to the exclusion of all other terms (as applicable, “Customer”) (each of Customer and Dilicheck, a “Party”, and together, the “Parties”). The MSA consists of the terms and conditions set forth below and incorporates by reference any ancillary documents (e.g., attachments, addenda, exhibits) expressly referenced herein.
The “Effective Date” of this MSA is (a) the effective date of the first Order Form executed by the Parties, (b) the date Customer first accepts a private offer containing an Order Form or (c) in the case of Trial Services, the date Customer receives its credentials to access the Services accepting this MSA through Dilicheck’s free trial sign-up, as applicable.
Section 1. Services and Support.
1.1. Services. “Services” means the Dilicheck products and services that are made available to Customer by Dilicheck hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions of this MSA, Dilicheck will make the Services available to Customer for the service period of Customer’s subscription specified on the applicable Order Form (“Service Period”). Dilicheck will provide the Services in accordance with the Service Level Agreement.
1.2. Support. Dilicheck will provide commercially reasonable support during the Service Period in accordance with Dilicheck’s Support Policy.
Section 2. Fees and Payment; Trial Services.
2.1. Payment and Taxes.
2.1.1. Fees. “Fees” means the fees payable by Customer to Dilicheck for the applicable Services, as set forth on the Order Form. Customer is responsible for all Fees set forth in the Order Form. Dilicheck will invoice Customer for such Fees using the billing information set forth therein. If Customer purchases a subscription to the Services using a credit card or similar online payment method, Dilicheck will bill that payment method for all Fees due, including renewals and add-on purchases, as applicable, unless another payment method is requested in writing by Customer. Customer shall pay all Fees in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the applicable Order Form. Except as expressly set forth in this MSA, all payment obligations are non-cancellable and Fees are non-refundable and not subject to set off. In the event of non-payment of Fees by Customer for fifteen (15) days after the due date of an invoice, Dilicheck reserves the right to (i) immediately suspend Customer’s access to the Services until Customer pays the entire remaining balance of Fees and/or (ii) charge interest on past due amounts at the lesser of one and a half percent (1.5%) or the highest interest rate allowed by law. Dilicheck will promptly restore Customer’s access to the Services once such non-payment is cured.
2.1.2. Fee Disputes. If Customer has a bona fide belief that an invoice is incorrect, Customer must contact Dilicheck within thirty (30) days of the date of the applicable invoice ("Dispute Period"). Upon receipt of such notice, Dilicheck and Customer will work together in good faith to resolve the dispute and, if such disputed amount(s) are deemed legitimate, Customer agrees to pay such amounts promptly upon resolution of the dispute (and in any event, within 30 days thereafter). If Customer does not notify Dilicheck of a dispute within the Dispute Period, all invoiced Fees will be deemed legitimate and owing in accordance with this MSA.
2.1.3. Taxes. Fees do not include taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, any sales, use, GST, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes, whether domestic or foreign, or assessed by any jurisdiction (“Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchase of the Services, excluding Taxes based on Dilicheck’s net income or receipts, property or employees.
2.2. Price Changes; Discounts and Promotions. Prices specified in the Order Form may include discounts or promotional pricing. Dilicheck may change prices for the Services and/or discontinue or change any promotion, sale, or special offer in its sole discretion; provided that any such changes or discontinuations will only be effective upon the commencement of Customer’s next Service Period and will not impact the Fees payable for the then-current Service Period. Dilicheck will provide Customer with reasonable notice of any Fee increases prior to the expiration of the then-current Service Period.
2.3. Free Trial Services; Beta Services.
2.3.1 Trial Services.

ANY CUSTOMER INFORMATION (AS DEFINED BELOW) THAT CUSTOMER PROVIDES OR MAKES AVAILABLE TO DILICHECK DURING THE PROVISION OF TRIAL SERVICES WILL BE PERMANENTLY DELETED AT THE END OF THE TRIAL SERVICES PERIOD UNLESS CUSTOMER ENTERS INTO AN ORDER FORM FOR THE SAME SERVICES AS THOSE COVERED BY THE TRIAL SERVICES OR EXPORTS SUCH CUSTOMER INFORMATION BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL SERVICES PERIOD.
2.3.2 Beta Offerings. From time to time, Dilicheck may make Beta Offerings available to Customer at no charge. “Beta Offerings” means pre-release services, features, or functions identified as alpha, beta, preview, early access, or words or phrases with similar meanings. Customer may elect to try such Beta Offering(s) in its sole discretion. Beta Offerings are intended for evaluation purposes, not for production use, and may be subject to additional terms. Beta Offerings are not considered “Services” under this Agreement; however, all prohibited uses, Customer obligations and terms regarding Dilicheck’s ownership concerning the Services shall apply to Beta Offerings. Unless otherwise stated or communicated to Customer, any Beta Offerings trial period will expire upon the date that a version of the Beta Offerings becomes generally available without a “Beta Offerings” designation. Dilicheck may discontinue Beta Offerings at any time in its sole discretion and may never make them generally available.
2.3.3 Disclaimers. NOTWITHSTANDING SECTIONS 1.2 (SUPPORT), 7 (REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS) AND 8 (INDEMNIFICATION) BELOW, TRIAL SERVICES AND BETA OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AND DILICHECK SHALL HAVE NO SUPPORT OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS NOR LIABILITY OF ANY TYPE WITH RESPECT TO THE TRIAL SERVICES OR BETA OFFERINGS UNLESS SUCH EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN WHICH CASE DILICHECK’S LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE TRIAL SERVICES AND BETA OFFERINGS SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000.00).

The Receiving Party will not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this MSA, such obligations including, in the case of Dilicheck, to provide the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, provided that the Receiving Party: (a) gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice of such disclosure so as to afford the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to appear, object, and obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief regarding such disclosure (if such notice is not prohibited by applicable law); (b) uses diligent efforts to limit disclosure and to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order; and (c) allows the Disclosing Party to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible according to applicable law. Further, Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without the Receiving Party’s breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without the Receiving Party’s breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iii) is received from a third party who obtained such Confidential Information without any third party’s breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party. Due to the unique nature of Confidential Information, the Parties agree that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or similar equitable relief against any breach or threatened breach of this Section without the necessity of posting any bond or showing irreparable harm.

Dilicheck will, at its sole expense, defend such claim and pay liabilities and expenses awarded to such unaffiliated third party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a settlement (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with such Claim.

Dilicheck will have no liability or obligation under this Section with respect to any claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (a) any use of the Services in non-conformity with the documentation or in violation of this MSA; (b) modification of the Services by anyone other than Dilicheck; or (c) the combination, operation or use of the Services with other hardware or software where the Services would not otherwise be infringing. The provisions of this Section state the sole, exclusive, and entire liability of Dilicheck to Customer and constitute Customer’s sole remedy with respect to an infringement claim brought by reason of access to or use of a Service by Customer or Authorized Users.
8.2. Indemnification by Customer.

- any third-party claims arising out of or relating to the Customer’s reliance on the Dilicheck services as a substitute for legal advice or legal due diligence.
8.3. Indemnification Conditions and Procedures. The obligations of the indemnifying Party in this Section 8 are conditioned upon the indemnified Party (i) promptly notifying the indemnifying Party of the threat or notice of such claim (provided that a failure to provide such notice shall only relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnity obligations if the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure); (ii) giving the indemnifying Party sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and defend and/or settle any such claim (however, the indemnifying Party may not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by the indemnified Party without prior written consent provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed); and (iii) cooperating with the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense and/or settlement in connection therewith.
