These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy.

Will these Terms ever change?

Oliv reserves the comprehensive authority to modify these Terms of Service at any time to adapt to evolving business needs, regulatory requirements, and technological advances. However, this flexibility is balanced with specific notification procedures and protective rights that ensure transparency and allow customers to make informed decisions about their continued participation in our services.

Terms Modification Process and Notice Requirements

Modification Authority: Provider maintains the right to change this TOS from time to time by providing ten (10) days prior written notice before any changes become effective. This advance notice period ensures customers have adequate time to review proposed changes and understand their implications for ongoing business operations.

Acceptable Notification Methods: Oliv will communicate changes through multiple approved channels to ensure reliable delivery:

  • Email Notification: Sent directly to the email address associated with your account
  • Website Posting: Notice posted on the SaaS Platform website where the TOS is displayed
  • Platform Notification: Direct notifications through the Oliv platform interface
  • Other Reasonable Methods: Alternative notification approaches as determined appropriate by Provider

Change Implementation Timeline: The revised Terms of Service become effective exactly ten (10) days after notice is provided to customers. Continued use of the Solutions after this effective date constitutes automatic acceptance of the revised terms, creating a clear and predictable transition process that respects ongoing business relationships.

Most Current Version Access: Oliv maintains the most current version of the Terms of Service at https://oliv.ai/terms-of-service. Customers are encouraged to check this location periodically to stay informed about any modifications.

Customer Rights Regarding Changes

Protective Customer Options: When proposed changes are unacceptable to customers, several protective mechanisms safeguard their interests:

  • Immediate Objection Right: Customers may notify Provider promptly in writing of their objection to the new TOS terms
  • Negotiation Opportunity: If Provider does not agree to exclude the objectionable modified terms following a customer objection, both parties can engage in good-faith negotiations
  • Transition Period Protection: When customers object to changes and no agreement can be reached, the prior TOS will continue to apply through the end of the current Order term
  • Controlled Implementation: Updated TOS terms will only take effect starting on the next renewal date rather than immediately

Business Continuity Assurance: The modification process is specifically designed to protect ongoing business relationships and prevent operational disruptions.

Broad Application Scope: The limitation applies to all theories of liability including contractual claims, tort claims, statutory claims, and other legal theories.
