Terms and Conditions

This Agreement is between the person or entity agreeing to these terms (“Customer,” “you” or “your”) and NextLabs, Inc., (“NextLabs, “we,” “us,” or “our”). If you are accepting this agreement on behalf of your employer or another legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity and that you agree to these terms on behalf of that entity. If you cannot truthfully make these representations, do not click “accept” below. The terms and conditions of this agreement apply to Customer’s access and use of the NextLabs’ Rights Management SkyDRM Service (“RMS”), including any technology, information, software, materials, and updates that NextLabs makes available to you as part of such services (collectively, the “Services”). 

1.  ABOUT NEXTLABS RIGHTS MANAGEMENT

Terms we use when talking about NextLabs Rights Management SkyDRM:

  • RMS Account is the account you create for using the NextLabs Rights Management Service. 
  • Using NextLabs RMS, you can protect your files and share the same with other users for collaboration. All users are required to have an account in NextLabs RMS for accessing shared files. 
  • NextLabs RMS Tenancy is the logical grouping of users based on the company they belong to. 
  • NextLabs RMS Tenant Administrator is the user who has permission to configure the application for the users of their company. 
  • Enterprise users from a company can share files with users from a different company, provided this is configured by their Tenant Administrator. 
  • A “SkyDRM Rights Management Protection Domain” is an RMS Protection Domain that has been upgraded from an RMS Basic Protection Domain by the organization whose email domain defines that RMS Protection Domain. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Organizations whose email domain defines the RMS Protection Domain can claim the RMS Protection Key at any time and convert to a SkyDRM Rights Management Paid subscription. The organization may then: take administrative control of the RMS Protection Key, including disabling access to Protected Content; use the RMS Protection Key to decrypt Protected Content (if such Protected Content is otherwise accessible to the IT organization); view the Contact Data, which includes name, profile information, email address, title, time zone and other contact information (as further set forth in the NextLabs Rights Management Privacy Statement), and activities of the users that have used the Protection Key (including data and activity prior to the upgrade); and choose to implement security or privacy policies in addition to those described in this privacy statement. 

Your organization may block your ability to join its tenant. If your organization has done so you can still sign up for the Services as an individual user or join other tenants. However, you will not be able to utilize its policies, group structures, profile, and other information pertaining to the tenant. You should contact your organization with any questions.
