Thank you for signing up to use Privakey authentication services, applications and associated software (collectively, “Privakey Authentication Services” or PAS). By accessing or using our PAS, you are agreeing to the terms below. If there is a conflict between these terms and additional terms applicable to a given service, the additional terms will control for that conflict. Collectively, we refer to the terms below, any additional terms, terms within the accompanying documentation, and any applicable policies and guidelines as the “Terms.” You agree to comply with the Terms and that the Terms control your relationship with us. So please read all the Terms carefully.
Under the Terms, “Privakey” refers to Privakey, Inc., with offices at 630 Freedom Business Center, Suite 300
King of Prussia, PA , United States, unless set forth otherwise in additional terms applicable for a given capability. We may refer to “Privakey” as “we”, “our”, or “us” in the Terms.
You may not use PAS and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Privakey, or (b) you are a person barred from using the PAS under the applicable laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use PAS.
If you are using PAS on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to the Terms and by accepting the Terms, you are doing so on behalf of that entity (and all references to “you” in the Terms refer to that entity).
In order to access PAS you may be required to provide certain information (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process or as part of your continued use of the PAS. Any registration information you give to Privakey will always be accurate and up to date and you’ll inform us promptly of any updates.
You agree to pay usage fees as described in Privakey’s fee structures as outlined on privakey.com and during Relying Party Registration at the point of you enrollment. The Pricing Terms agreed to during registration are binding until both Privakey and you agree to different terms.
Privakey processes payments for incurred fees Monthly on, or near the date you signed up. For example, if you registered as a PAS on March 4 you will be billed on the 4th of each subsequent month. The payment information you entered during registration will be charged on this date for the full amount due. If a payment is not made or a credit charge fails, your account is subject to suspension until past due amounts are remitted.
Fees are payable in US dollars. Obligations cannot be canceled and fees paid are non-refundable.
You must notify Privakey in writing within 45 days of a charge if you dispute any fees levied under this Agreement. Privakey will contact you to resolve the dispute.
In the course of promoting, marketing, or demonstrating the PAS, Privakey may produce and distribute incidental depictions, including screenshots, video, or other content from your Relying Party, and may use your company or product name. You grant us all necessary rights for the above purposes.
You will require your end users to comply with (and not knowingly enable violation of) applicable law, regulation, and the Terms.
You will comply with all applicable law, regulation, and third party rights (including without limitation laws regarding the import or export of data or software, privacy, and local laws). You will not use Privakey Authentication Services to encourage or promote illegal activity or violation of third party rights. You will not violate any other terms of service with Privakey (or its affiliates).
You will only access (or attempt to access) PAS by the means described in the PAS documentation. If Privakey assigns you developer credentials (e.g. client IDs), you must use them to access PAS. You will not misrepresent or mask either your identity or your PAS Client’s identity when using the PAS.
Privakey sets and enforces limits on your use of the PAS (e.g. limiting the number of authentication requests that you may make or the number of users you may serve) during the enrollment process. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent, such limitations. If you would like to use Privakey beyond these limits, you must obtain our express consent. To seek such approval, contact Privakey Support for information.
Some of the software required by or included in PAS may be offered under an open source license. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements. To the limited extent the open source software license expressly supersedes the Terms, the open source license instead sets forth your agreement for the use of the applicable open source software.
We may send you certain communications in connection with your use of PAS. Please review the applicable PAS documentation for information about opting out of certain types of communication.
If you provide feedback or suggestions about Privakey Authentication Services, then we (and those we allow) may use such information without obligation to you.
The Terms are non-exclusive. You acknowledge that Privakey may develop products or services that may compete with the Clients or any other products or services.
PAS is designed to help you enhance your websites and applications (“Relying Parties”). YOU AGREE THAT PRIVAKEY MAY MONITOR USE OF PAS TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VERIFY YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS. You will not interfere with this monitoring. Privakey may use any technical means to overcome such interference. Privakey may suspend access to the PAS by you or your Client without notice if we reasonably believe that you are in violation of the Terms.
Privakey does not acquire ownership in your Relying Parties, and by using our PAS, you do not acquire ownership of any rights in our PAS or the content that is accessed through our PAS.
You will comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations including those applying to PII. You will provide and adhere to a privacy policy for your Relying Party that clearly and accurately describes to users of your service what user information you collect and how you use and share such information.

Privakey may independently communicate with any Privakey end-user whose account(s) are associated with your Client and developer credentials to provide notice of the termination of your right to use PAS.
When the Terms come to an end, those terms that by their nature are intended to continue indefinitely will continue to apply.
WHEN PERMITTED BY LAW, PRIVAKEY, AND PRIVAKEY’S SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, OR DATA; FINANCIAL LOSSES; OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

IN ALL CASES, PRIVAKEY, AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY EXPENSE, LOSS, OR DAMAGE THAT IS NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, if you are a business, you will defend and indemnify Privakey, and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and users, against all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, fees (including legal fees), and expenses relating to any allegation or third-party legal proceeding to the extent arising from:
– your misuse or your end user’s misuse of the PAS; or
– your violation or your end user’s violation of the Terms.
We may modify the Terms or any portion to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our PAS. You should look at the Terms regularly. We’ll post notice of modifications to the Terms within the documentation of the PAS, to this website, and/or in the Privakey Relying Party console. Changes will not apply retroactively and will become effective no sooner than 30 days after they are posted. But changes addressing new functions for the PAS or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified Terms for the PAS, you should discontinue your use of the PAS. Your continued use of the PAS constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.
The PAS was developed solely at private expense and is commercial computer software within the meaning of the applicable U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation and agency supplements thereto.
We each agree to contract in the English language. If we provide a translation of the Terms, we do so for your convenience only and the English Terms will solely govern our relationship. The Terms do not create any third party beneficiary rights or any agency, partnership, or joint venture. Nothing in the Terms will limit either party’s ability to seek injunctive relief. We are not liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If you do not comply with the Terms, and Privakey does not take action right away, this does not mean that Privakey is giving up any rights that it may have (such as taking action in the future). If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms. The Terms are the entire agreement between you and Privakey relating to its subject and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. For information about how to contact Privakey, please visit our contact page.
