Terms of Service
Last updated: 30 September 2026
These Terms of Service (the "Agreement") govern access to and use of Northmap (the "Product"), operated by Northmap SAS ("Provider").
This Agreement is between Provider and the company or person accessing or using the Product. It consists of the Cover Page below and the Framework Terms. If Customer signed an order form or quote for the Product, it forms part of this Agreement and controls where it conflicts with the Cover Page below.
If you accept this Agreement on behalf of your company, you confirm that you are authorised to do so. By signing up for, accessing or using the Product, Customer accepts this Agreement.
Cover Page
Order Form
- Framework Terms: this Order Form incorporates, and is governed by, the Key Terms below and the Common Paper Cloud Service Agreement Standard Terms Version 2.0 (the "Standard Terms"), which are incorporated by reference. Modifications to the Standard Terms made on this Cover Page control over the Standard Terms. Capitalised words have the meanings given on the Cover Page or in the Standard Terms.
- Cloud Service: a software platform for IT software evaluation and portfolio decision-making, featuring AI-assisted requirements drafting, reuse-versus-buy candidate scoring, vendor Q&A and decision records.
- Order Date: the Effective Date.
- Subscription Period: 12 months, unless the Order Form or quote states otherwise.
- Cloud Service Fees: the Fees in the Order Form or quote accepted by Customer, for the plan it describes (Starter, or Enterprise with pricing agreed per customer). Provider may change the Fees for a renewal by giving notice at least 60 days before the end of the current Subscription Period; the change applies from the next Subscription Period.
- Payment Process: invoicing. Provider invoices the Fees annually in advance, at the start of each Subscription Period. Customer pays each invoice within 30 days of the invoice date. Late payments bear interest at three times the French legal interest rate, plus a fixed recovery fee of €40 (Article L441-10 of the French Commercial Code). If an invoice is still unpaid 30 days after its due date, Provider may suspend access to the Cloud Service after giving notice.
- Refund Policy: Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or stated in this Agreement. If Customer gives notice of non-renewal, access continues until the end of the current Subscription Period and the unused portion is not refunded.
- Non-Renewal Notice Date: at least 30 days before the end of the current Subscription Period.
