You agree that by accessing the ProptechOS, you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms of Use. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the ProptechOS from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.

The information provided on ProptechOS is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.

ProptechOS is not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use ProptechOS. You may not use ProptechOS in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
ProptechOS is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for ProptechOS.

13. SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT – SLA
The Company is responsible for ensuring with all required reasonable and normal kind of technical measures the uninterrupted functioning of ProptechOS and data security. The Company is always responsible for the making of backup copies of data. The Company, however, shall have the right to suspend Customer’s access to the ProptechOS due to change or maintenance work of general data network or due to data security risk to ProptechOS or if required by law or regulation by authorities.
The Service Level Agreement is applicable only for paid usage of ProptechOS.
The service availability (“Service Availability”) is defined as uptime. The Company commits to the availability targets of monthly uptime in excess of 99.5%.
If the Company fails to meet the Service Availability targets defined above, the Company will credit the Customer with the following service credits (“Service Credit”):
Availability | Service credit |
97.00 – 99.49% | 10% |
95.00 – 96.99% | 25% |
<95.00% | 50% |
In addition to the Service Credits, the Customer may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect, if the Service Availability falls under 96,00 % for two (2) consecutive calendar months.
Each Service Credit shall be determined by multiplying the Service Credit percentage, as set forth in the table above, with the fees paid by the Customer to the Company in accordance with the Agreement during the month in which the Company failed to achieve the applicable service level.
Furthermore, it is agreed that the Service Credit applies only to licence fees, and not to onboarding fees or any other fee.
The Company shall credit the Customer on the following month’s fees, as determined at the time of the failure.
This service level agreement and any applicable Service Availability do not apply to any performance or availability issues:
- Planned downtime for maintenance or installation;
- Due to factors outside our reasonable control (for example, natural disaster, war, acts of terrorism, riots, government action, or a network or device failure external to the Company’s data centers, including at the Customer’s site or between the Customer’s site and the Company’s data center);
- That result from the use of services, hardware, or software not provided by the Company, including, but not limited to, issues resulting from inadequate bandwidth or related to third-party software or services;
- Caused by the Customer’s use of a service after we advised the Customer to modify the use of the service;
- During or with respect to preview, pre-release, beta or trial versions of a service, feature or software (as determined by the Company);
- That result from the unauthorized action or lack of action when required, or from the Customer’s employees, agents, contractors, or vendors, or anyone gaining access to the Company’s network by means of the Customer’s passwords or equipment, or otherwise resulting from the Customer’s failure to follow appropriate security practices;
- That result from the Customer’s failure to adhere to any required configurations, use supported platforms, follow any policies for acceptable use, or use of ProptechOS in a manner inconsistent with the features and functionality of ProptechOS (for example, attempts to perform operations that are not supported) or inconsistent with our published guidance;
- That result from faulty input, instructions, or arguments (for example, requests to access files that do not exist);
- That result from attempts to perform operations that exceed prescribed quotas or that resulted from our throttling of suspected abusive behaviour;
14. GOVERNING LAW
These conditions are governed by and interpreted following the laws of Sweden, and the use of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. If your habitual residence is in the EU, and you are a consumer, you additionally possess the protection provided to you by obligatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. ProptechOS AB and yourself both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Stockholm, which means that you may make a claim to defend your consumer protection rights in regards to these Conditions of Use in Sweden.
