System Usage Limitations
Customer Data Backup
Consilium will not modify, delete, or copy those data in respect of our data privacy policy and the terms and conditions set out in this document. However, Consilium provides an extra layer of convenience for its customers and creates backup of the Customer’s data uploaded to Consilium. These backups are stored with appropriate care and in accordance with the current organizational and technical security measures implemented by Consilium.
Consilium will retain the backup copy for a duration of three (3) months from the subscription expiration date. Once this period elapses, the data will either be deleted or anonymized. If customers wish to obtain their backup copies, they must send an email to Consilium’s support team within the retention period. The support team shall coordinate and align with the Customer the needed steps in order to retain the needed copies in a readable format.
Consilium is obligated to delete all the Customer’s data, no later than three (3) months after the expiration of the subscription. However, Consilium reserves the right to utilize anonymized statistical data, for statistical or research purposes, with the aim of enhancing the performance of the System, including number of users and the usage load and activities in the system.
Service Level Agreement
Consilium strives to maintain its services and keep them running and available at all times. All efforts are exerted to promptly address any errors found within a reasonable timeframe. Nevertheless, Consilium does not guarantee that services are always error-free or function flawlessly. Moreover, the System may become unavailable due to preventive, corrective, or adaptive maintenance, or other forms of service, which Consilium will inform in advance. Additionally, circumstances beyond Consilium’s control may lead to service(s) unavailability. Consilium will make reasonable efforts to inform the Customer ahead of time of any circumstances that may affect System availability. However, the service level agreement does not apply in any of the following scenarios:
Problems that are beyond the control of the Consilium team, such as extensive internet or data center outages, and natural disasters
Service or account restrictions, including but not limited to a customer’s usage of services in violation of the Agreement
Downtime that occurs during maintenance windows, user-initiated downtime, or automated upgrades
In case a signed contract constitutes specific guarantees, rather than the ones mentioned in this document, those guarantees of a prevailing contract take effect.
The Customer agrees to pay the agreed-upon payments as detailed in the financial proposal or a signed contract submitted by Consilium and signed by the customer. Upon renewal, the prices may be subject to change in accordance with the currently applicable prices as stipulated in the newly submitted financial proposal or a contract from Consilium. The payment(s) will be invoiced in accordance with the payment terms set out in the financial proposal or the signed contract. Payments are to be made within seven (7) calendar days whenever a payment is due.
In case the payment terms set out in the financial proposal in whole or in part contradict the payment terms set out in the signed contract, the payment terms of the signed contract take effect.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability, in the aggregate of Consilium to Customer, and anyone claiming by, through, or under Customer for any claims, losses, costs, or damages whatsoever arising out of, resulting from or in any way related to this agreement from any cause or causes, including but not limited to negligence, professional errors and omissions, strict liability, breach of contract, or breach of warranty, shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Customer. However, if the loss is the result of deliberate intent or recklessness from the Customer’s side, the exclusions and limitations cited above shall no longer apply.
According to the “License of Use” clause, Consilium holds the sole ownership of all intellectual property rights of all its services and content.
Consilium indemnifies and holds the Customer harmless from and against any and all claims and liabilities in any action for infringement based on the allegation that Consilium Services, including all its contents, violate any third-party intellectual property rights provided such claim arises solely out of the Services as supplied by the Consilium, and not out of any modification to the Services made by the Customer or by someone other than Consilium without Consilium’s approval.
If the Customer faces any claims concerning its usage of Consilium Services and/or all its contents, the Customer shall promptly notify Consilium in writing about the claim’s existence and particulars. The Customer shall give Consilium the opportunity to take over, settle, or defend such action, claim, or suit at Consilium’s sole expense. The Customer is obligated to aid in the defense of any such action, claim, or suit at the expense of Consilium by providing necessary information and assistance how Consilium sees fit.
Such indemnity shall only be applicable in the event of claims, judgments, liabilities, and/or costs that may be finally assessed against the Customer in any action for infringement of a patent, or of any copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other third party proprietary right except to the extent such claims, judgments, liabilities and/or costs arise solely from the Customer negligent act, failure to act, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
If usage of Consilium shall be enjoined for any reason or if Consilium believes that it may be enjoined, Consilium shall have the right, at its own expense and sole discretion to act in the following order of precedence:
To procure for the Customer the right to continue usage
To modify the Services so that usage becomes non-infringing, and is of at least equal quality and performance; or
To replace such Services or parts thereof, as applicable, with non-infringing Product of at least equal quality and performance
If the above remedies are not available, the parties shall terminate the Contract, in whole or in part as necessary and applicable, provided that the Customer is given a refund for any amounts paid for the period during which usage was not feasible.
If an action at law or in equity is commenced against the Customer arising out of a claim that the Customer’s data infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or proprietary right, the provisions referenced above in this clause shall no longer apply.
Consilium provides clients with three primary types of packages: training packages, competition packages, and hands-free packages. These packages are available on a monthly subscription basis, and we also offer unlimited workshops throughout the duration of an active subscription. Our payment terms are straightforward: 100% payment is required before the commencement of the service. The price of the package depends on the number of users and the contracted duration, as stated in the signed contract. The contract begins within two (2) business days after the customer signs the contract and pays the invoiced amount.
We offer a discount on our fees for annual contracts. However, if a customer chooses to prematurely terminate an annual subscription, they are entitled to a refund under the following conditions:
The customer must provide one month’s prior notice before the actual termination date
The refunded amount is calculated based on the remaining period of the contract
The customer forfeits the applied discount and pays a penalty equivalent to one month’s worth of the package price
It is critical to note that if a signed contract includes different terms, the terms of the prevailing contract take priority. We strive to be flexible and accommodating, but we also prioritize clarity and transparency in our business dealings.
Unless otherwise stated, Consilium services are accessible online through the most commonly used web browsers and do not require specially allocated resources to operate smoothly.
Consilium provides technical support to its customers during an active subscription period. Such support may be made available through customer.care@consiliumplus.com email during Consilium Software’s declared working hours on our website. Responses to support requests shall be provided within two (2) business days. The time required for fixing any issues will be communicated to the Customer after the issue has been investigated. While Consilium Software does not guarantee a specific response time, we strive to provide our customers with responsive and efficient support.
In case a signed contract constitutes specific guarantees, rather than the ones mentioned in this clause, those guarantees of a prevailing contract take effect.
Consilium reserves the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this document at any time. Some of the changes will be in response to changes in applicable laws and regulations, in addition, as Consilium adds new features to the Services. Such changes, revisions, or modifications will be effective immediately upon notice to you, which may be given by any means including, without limitation, via posting on the website. If the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice. The latest version has an effective date listed at the top of this document.

Customers including its authorized users may provide Consilium with ideas, comments, suggestions, recommendations, or other feedback on the features or functionality of Consilium Services (“Feedback”). The customer agrees that any Feedback is provided voluntarily.

Feedback, even if designated as confidential, shall not create any confidentiality obligation hereunder.
The Customer is required to always act in a lawful and responsible manner toward third parties, which includes respecting the intellectual property rights and privacy of third parties and refraining from disseminating information in a manner that violates the law.
Consilium retains the right to verify the fulfillment of eligibility requirements set out throughout this agreement’s clauses, and to suspend the Customer’s access to Consilium’s Services if such requirements are not met.
In the event that one party fails to fulfill its obligations under these terms and conditions, the other party may also terminate the service, provided that the material breach has not been rectified by the defaulting party within 30 days
