If you signed a separate Cover Page for a Data Processing Agreement to access the Product with the same account, and that agreement has not ended, the terms below do not apply to you. Instead, your separate Cover Page applies to your use of the Product.
This Data Processing Agreement (”DPA”) has 2 parts: (1) the Key Terms on this Cover Page and (2) the Common Paper DPA Standard Terms Version 1.0 posted at https://commonpaper.com/standards/data-processing-agreement/1.0 (”DPA Standard Terms”) which is incorporated by reference.
By using the Product, you agree to be bound by this DPA, and represent that you have the legal authority to bind your company to this DPA.
If there is any inconsistency between the parts of the DPA, the Cover Page will control over the DPA Standard Terms. Capitalized and highlighted words have the meanings given on the Cover Page. However, if the Cover Page omits or does not define a highlighted word, the default meaning will be “none” or “not applicable” and the correlating clause, sentence, or section does not apply to this Agreement. All other capitalized words have the meanings given in the DPA Standard Terms or the Agreement.
