Cloud service terms and conditions (B2B and B2C)
These T&Cs have been designed to regulate the relationship between a provider of cloud-based software services on the one hand, and a customer on the other, whether that customer is a business or a consumer.
With respect to consumers, the T&Cs incorporate a distances selling clause setting out special rights of cancellation as mandated by law. These rights are not available to business customers.
With respect to businesses, the T&Cs include a data processing clause, which closely tracks the drafting of Article 28 of the GDPR. Where customers are consumers, the services provider will usually be a data controller, so the data processing clause will not apply.
