Consent must be obtained in writing or by a recordable electronic method, and the withdrawal procedure must be clearly stated. The Company bears no responsibility for whether such consent has been duly obtained.
- Responsibility for Managing “MediaSign Digital Contracts”: The “MediaSign Digital Contract” sent to the user’s email upon completion of the Service may serve as critical proof of the agreement.

Chapter 4: Characteristics of the “MediaSign AI” Service and Contract Information
Article 10 (Use of the “MediaSign AI” Service)
- The Company may provide the “MediaSign AI” feature to assist with the creation and review of contracts.
- The information, analysis results, suggested language, or revision recommendations provided by “MediaSign AI” are for the user’s reference and convenience only, and under no circumstances shall they be considered legal advice or legally binding interpretations.
- Users must make final decisions regarding the content of their contracts at their own discretion and responsibility, based on the suggestions from “MediaSign AI.” Where necessary, users should consult legal professionals to ensure the completeness, legality, and validity of the contract.
- The Company is not responsible for any legal disputes or damages arising from the information or suggestions provided by “MediaSign AI.”
Article 11 (Intellectual Property Rights and Content Management)
- Copyrights and other intellectual property rights to the Service and any works created by the Company within the Service belong to the Company.
- Users shall not reproduce, transmit, publish, distribute, broadcast, or otherwise use for commercial purposes any information obtained through the Service that is owned by the Company without the Company’s prior written consent, nor allow third parties to do so.
- Ownership and responsibility for any content (including contract content) posted or created by the user within the Service rest with the user.
- Users grant the Company a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, process, store, reproduce, modify, transmit, and disclose (to contracting counterparties) the content provided by the user, to the extent necessary for providing, operating, and improving the Service and for enabling the “MediaSign AI” contract analysis feature (e.g., analyzing and assisting with specific contract instances). This license is limited to outcomes resulting from the user’s explicit use of the Service (e.g., generation and transmission of contracts).
- If the Company determines that the user’s content violates any laws or these Terms, it may take necessary actions such as deleting or refusing to post the content. However, the Company is not obligated to review all content.
Article 12 (Characteristics of Contract Data Creation, Security, and Storage Methods)
- Contract data generated through the Service—including audio, video, files, metadata, electronic signatures, and more—is processed based on the user’s choices and the available service features.
- Contract content that has been finalized or confirmed by the user is compressed and then securely encrypted (e.g., using AES-256), and stored on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a decentralized file storage network. The rights of data subjects as strive(s) to ensure by the GDPR (such as the right to access, rectify, or delete data) are ensured to the extent technically feasible. Related requests may be submitted to customer support and will be fulfilled in good faith. The unique hash value of the contract is recorded on the blockchain to enhance its integrity and prevent tampering.
- This method of storage and recording is a technical measure designed to improve the reliability of contracts. By using the Service, users are deemed to have agreed to this approach.
- The Company does not possess decryption keys for the encrypted contract data; therefore, Company employees cannot access the contents of a user’s contract.
- Due to the decentralized nature of the IPFS and blockchain networks, temporary delays or interruptions in access may occur depending on network conditions or node availability. The Company does not strive(s) to ensure the stability of such external systems.
Article 13 (Characteristics of the “MediaSign Digital Contract” and User Responsibility for Management)
- Once a contract is completed through the Service, the “MediaSign Digital Contract”—which may include contract data, media files, electronic signatures, and blockchain record information—is sent via email to the contracting parties designated by the user.
- The emailed “MediaSign Digital Contract” serves as important evidence of the agreement, and the responsibility for storing, backing up, and maintaining the security of that email and its attached digital contract rests entirely with the user (recipient).
- After sending the digital contract once to the user’s designated email address, the Company does not separately store or retain a copy of the contract. The Company bears no responsibility for any loss, inaccessibility, or data leakage resulting from the user’s mismanagement, issues with the email account, or loss of the user’s device.
- A backup feature for the contract content may be provided within the “MediaSign Digital Contract”; however, any file backed up through this feature may not independently verify the authenticity of the contract (e.g., via blockchain integrity verification). Therefore, the original version received via email remains the authoritative and essential copy.
Chapter 5: Paid Services and Payment
Article 14 (Fees and Payment)
- The Company may charge fees for some or all parts of the Service. The types of paid services, applicable fees, payment methods, and refund policies shall be specified on a separate pricing information page within the Service website or app.
- Users who wish to use paid services must pay the fees set by the Company.
- The Company may change the prices, features, or options of subscription plans without prior notice, provided such changes are made within the limits permitted by applicable law. If any changes are disadvantageous to existing paid users, the Company will provide prior notice with sufficient time in advance.
- Payments may be processed through third-party payment gateways or payment applications designated by the Company, in which case the terms and policies of the relevant third parties may apply.
Chapter 6: Termination of Agreement and Limitation of Liability
Article 15 (Termination of Agreement and Restriction of Use)
- Users may request termination of the service agreement at any time through the functions provided within the Service or by contacting customer support. The Company shall promptly process such requests in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
- If a user violates any obligations under these Terms, interferes with the normal operation of the Service, or if any other material reason arises, the Company may, after prior notice, terminate the service agreement or restrict the user's access to the Service.
- Upon termination of the service agreement, the user's account information and related data shall be deleted, except for any information the Company is required to retain in accordance with applicable laws and the "MediaSign Privacy Policy."
Article 16 (Liability and Disclaimer)

However, the Company is not responsible for service interruptions or failures caused by force majeure events such as natural disasters or other events of equivalent nature.

This limitation applies to all claims regardless of the legal basis, including contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise.
- The Company is not responsible for any issues arising from the inherent limitations of technologies such as the “MediaSign AI” feature, IPFS, or blockchain, or from disruptions in external networks.

The user shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to the user’s use of the Service, violation of these Terms, infringement of third-party rights, or content uploaded or created by the user through the Service, and shall ensure that no harm is caused to the Company as a result.

- Any legal action arising out of or relating to disputes between the Company and the user shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the jurisdiction of the Company’s principal office in the United Kingdom.
