Nortis and you may be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party.” These Terms also govern your use of and access to any content, functionality, and services offered on the Platform. Some services provided by Nortis may have supplemental agreements or addenda governing their use; in such case, such agreements shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference and made a part of these Terms.
Please read these Terms carefully before you start to use the Platform. By using the Platform or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and any document incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use, you must not access or use the Platform.
If you are using the Platform and/or Data on behalf of a company or any other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the full legal authority to bind it to these Terms and acknowledge that all references to “you” in the Terms include that entity.
We may revise these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion, without notice to you. All changes are effective as soon as they are posted, and apply to all access and use of the Platform and Data thereafter.

You should review this page from time to time so that you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
(a) Platform and Data License Grant. Subject to and conditioned on your timely payment of any invoiced fees and compliance with all other terms and conditions of these Terms, Nortis hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable (except in compliance with Section 10(g)) license during the Term to use the Platform and Data solely for your, and if applicable, the entity you represents, internal business purposes (the “Permitted Use”). Nortis reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, set limits on your usage of the Platform and Data at any time.
(b) Use Restrictions. You shall only use the Platform and Data for the Permitted Use and shall not disclose, release, distribute, or deliver the Data, or any portion thereof, to any third party without Nortis’s prior written consent. Any purpose or use not specifically authorized herein is prohibited unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Nortis. Without limiting the foregoing and except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, you shall not at any time, directly or indirectly: (I) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Platform or Data, in whole or in part; (II) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Platform or Data; (III) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, adapt, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to the source of the Platform or Data or methods used to compile the Data, in whole or in part; (IV) remove any proprietary notices included within the Platform or Data; (V) publish, enhance, or display any compilation or directory based upon information derived from the Platform or Data; or (VI) use the Platform or Data in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any applicable law.

(d) User Responsibilities. You are responsible for: (I) making all arrangements necessary for you to access the platform, including, without limitation, ensuring you have sufficient network access and any necessary software or hardware required; and (II) ensuring that all persons who access the Platform and/or Data through your internet connection and/or on behalf of the entity you represent are aware of these Terms and comply with them. If you choose, or are provided with a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures (your “Login Credentials”) you agree that you will treat that information as confidential and not provide it to any other person or entity, except if you have accepted these Terms on behalf of an entity, in which case you may share the Login Credentials strictly within such entity. Nortis shall have the right to change or disable any Login Credentials at any time if you or the entity you represent, if applicable, has violated these Terms.

These Terms permit you to use the Platform for your personal, non-commercial use only. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on our Platform, except as follows: (I) your computer may temporarily store copies of the Platform and Data in RAM incidental to your access and viewing of such materials; and (II) you may store files that are automatically cached by your web browser or other software used to access the Platform and/or Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Platform provides you with tools to view and manipulate the Data, you may use such tools to create derivative works of the Data (“Derivatives”) and copy, publish, and publicly display such Derivatives provided that you attribute any such output to Nortis and any third parties whose data was included in your use.
To the extent that you upload any data (hereafter “User Data”) to the Platform and/or incorporate it with the Data, you hereby grant Nortis a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free and fully paid-up, sublicensable (through infinite levels of sublicense), transferable, right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, make derivative works of, publicly display, and publicly perform the User Data. You hereby represent and warrant that you own or control all rights in and to the User Data and have the right to grant the foregoing license granted above to Nortis and our affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns. To the extent that you may possess any rights of paternity or attribution, integrity, disclosure, and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as "moral rights" in relation to the User Data, you hereby irrevocably waive them in favor of Nortis to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of these Terms, the Data will be deemed Confidential Information of Nortis provided that you may disclose the Data solely to the extent permitted in Section 3. Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by documentary evidence, is: (I) in the public domain; (II) is known to you at the time of disclosure; (III) is rightfully obtained by you on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or (IV) is independently developed by you. You shall not disclose Nortis’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to your employees who have a need to know the Confidential Information for you to exercise your rights or perform your obligations hereunder.

On the expiration or termination of these Terms, you shall promptly return to Nortis all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of Nortis’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed, provided that you may keep copies of any Derivatives created prior to such termination or expiration, subject to the requirements of these Terms. Your obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of your acceptance of these Terms.
