3.1.2. “Authorized Users” who use the Service as part of any paid Subscription plan purchased by the Customer.
3.2. Access. Safetica shall create the initial administrator account and provide the access details to the Customer together with a certificate of active Subscription. Using the administrator account, the Customer may create additional administrator accounts. Login to administrator account is conditional on acceptance of the Terms and third-party terms linked to Microsoft Active Directory Account. User may be required to update such consent in the event of an update to the Terms.
3.3. MSP Authorization. If the MSP (Managed Services Provider) provides the Subscription, by using the Service the Customer agrees with and declares that it is aware of special authorizations of MSP to enter into the Service via a tool provided by Safetica in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service), especially but not limited to MSP authorizations to: (i) view the data stored or accessible via Service, (ii) process the data stored or accessible via Service and (iii) set and change the Customer interface of Service. In such a case it is sole responsibility of the Customer as a personal data controller to agree with MSP on the terms of processing of personal data and on other rights and obligations connected with the access of MSP to the data of the Customer according to relevant legal regulations (in particular in the field of personal data protection); in any case Safetica is not liable for the fulfillment of these obligations or for the processing of data between the MSP and the Customer.
3.4. Commissioning. In case of hosting the Service on Customer’s own hosting platform (on-premise), the Customer shall commission the Service in accordance with the Documentation.

Unless the Customer purchases the necessary Professional Services, the Provider does not have to provide assistance with commissioning of the on-premise platform. Any such assistance is available only if the Customer grants a remote access to Customer Systems to the Provider. Once the Customer confirms that the Service has been commissioned properly, or if the Customer does not report any defects within three days after receiving the access details to the administrator account, this constitutes Customer’s acceptance of the proper commissioning of the Service. Further, acceptance of the proper commissioning of the Service occurs if the Customer begins to use the Service beyond its testing.
