OUR SERVICE
WordLift provides users with the ability to leverage semantic technologies to enrich and organize their content. The data we support (referred to as “Data”) includes publicly available datasets as well as data provided by the users in the form of custom vocabularies. The services that we provide, including any support services, are referred to as “our services”.
Our pricing policy is detailed on the Pricing page. Depending on use case and demand we might use various partnership models to charge for our services.
CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may revise these terms by posting an updated version to this web page to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business; changes in technology or our business model; changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and changes in our systems.
We ask that you check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we make, as they are binding on you. Registered users of our Service will be informed of changes to these terms by email at least 15 days before the change is to come into effect – if you don’t agree to a change you are able to stop using our Service before the change comes into effect by closing your online account.
All users should note the following sections, which give important information on the limits of our service, and you and our liability to each other.

- you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
- if you are an individual, you are of legal age as defined by Italian law;
- if you are acting for an organization (such as a company or a partnership), you are authorized to enter into these terms for and on behalf of that organization (in which case, references in these terms to “you” are to that organization, and not you personally);

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
The service level agreement (“SLA”) is available only to paying clients of WordLift’s Service (including those accessing it as on-premise installation at their site) and is ruled by direct contracts defining the SLA for each specific client and/or usage scenario.
You will not be entitled to any credit on our platform under this or any other SLA if you are in breach of these Service’s Terms of Use or if your account had been suspended or closed.
There is no SLA if you have been given the option of using our Service but you are not paying for our Service.
NATURE OF THE SLA
Our SLA does not cover the performance of the network or the internet as it is measured at the points at which our Service connects to the internet.
In particular, this SLA does not cover anything that is beyond our control, including reasonable control (including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labour problems, computer, telecommunications, internet service provider or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software or power systems and denial of service attacks) It also does not cover service levels from our data providers (i.e. DBpedia) or our platform partners.
The platform credit that might be offered under this SLA is the exclusive remedy for our Service not being available. If you close your account with any credit available on it, you will lose this credit and no refund will be paid.
CHANGES
We may change, discontinue, or add to this SLA at any time. Registered users of our Service will be informed of this at least 15 days in advance – you are able to close your account before the change comes into effect if you do not agree with it.
