4. Intellectual Property Rights

4.1 Ownership — Website Content

All Content on the Website — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, video, data compilations, software demonstrations, and marketing materials — is the exclusive property of PrismDx or its licensors and is protected by applicable South African and international intellectual property laws, including the Copyright Act 98 of 1978.

4.2 Ownership — Platform and Software

The PrismDx Platform, including its source code, object code, algorithms, APIs, database architecture, user interface, live network infrastructure, CPQ engine, and all associated modules and features, constitutes the exclusive intellectual property of PrismDx. Nothing on this Website — and no use of the Website or Platform — grants, transfers, or implies any intellectual property rights to any User.

4.3 No Transfer by Use or Payment

THE ACT OF USING THIS WEBSITE, USING THE PLATFORM, OR MAKING ANY PAYMENT TO PRISMDX DOES NOT TRANSFER, ASSIGN, OR CONVEY ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS TO YOU. PRISMDX’S IP REMAINS EXCLUSIVELY AND IRREVOCABLY WITH PRISMDX REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE, VOLUME, OR DURATION OF YOUR USE OR PAYMENTS.

4.4 Restricted Use of Content

You may not, without PrismDx’s express prior written consent:

  • Copy, reproduce, modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works of any Content;
  • Distribute, publish, or communicate any Content to third parties for commercial purposes;
  • Use PrismDx’s name, logo, trademarks, or branding in any way that implies endorsement, affiliation, or ownership;
  • Frame, mirror, or embed the Website or any Content on any other website or application;
  • Use any Content to train, develop, or inform any competing software product, AI model, or platform.

4.5 Limited Website Licence

PrismDx grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and view the Website solely for the purposes set out in Clause 3.1. This licence:

  • Does not include any right to download (other than incidental page caching), modify, or commercially exploit any Content;
  • Does not extend to the Platform or any software underlying the Website;
  • Does not grant any right, title, or interest in PrismDx’s IP;
  • Is immediately revoked upon any breach of these Terms.

 

5. No Ownership Rights — SaaS Access Model

5.1 Access, Not Ownership

PrismDx operates on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. The Platform is made available to clients as a cloud-based service accessible over the internet. Under this model:

  1. No software is sold, transferred, or delivered to the User;
  2. No licence is granted beyond the limited right of access described in the MSA;
  3. No source code, technical architecture, or underlying platform documentation is shared or conveyed;
  4. Subscription fees are charged for the right to access the Platform during a defined period — they are not a purchase price and do not accumulate toward any ownership interest;
  5. The relationship between PrismDx and a subscribing client is a services relationship, not a sale of goods or software.

5.2 No Ownership Through Any Means

No User or client acquires any ownership interest in PrismDx or its IP through any of the following:

  • Payment of Subscription Fees, however large or sustained;
  • Use of the Platform over any period of time;
  • Customisation of a portal or branding applied to the Platform;
  • Requests for or funding of specific features or developments;
  • Long-term contractual relationship or renewal;
  • Any prior oral or written communication not contained in a signed MSA or Order Form.

5.3 No Implied Rights

Nothing in these Terms, the MSA, any Order Form, any marketing material, any demonstration, or any other communication from PrismDx shall be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any rights in PrismDx’s IP beyond the limited access right expressly set out in the MSA. Where any ambiguity exists, it shall be resolved in favour of PrismDx’s continued and unencumbered ownership of its IP.

5.4 Client Data

Notwithstanding the above, data inputted by a client into the Platform remains the property of that client, subject to the terms of the MSA. PrismDx’s ownership of the Platform does not affect a client’s ownership of its own operational data.

 

6. Platform Access and the Master Service Agreement

Access to and use of the PrismDx Platform (as distinct from this Website) is governed exclusively by the Master Service Agreement (MSA) and the applicable Order Form, both of which must be separately accepted by the Client. These Website Terms and Conditions do not modify or supersede the MSA in any respect.

6.1 Digital Acceptance

Where the Website provides a mechanism for digital acceptance of the MSA (such as a checkbox or “I Agree” button during sign-up), such acceptance:

  • Constitutes a legally binding contract between PrismDx and the accepting party on the full terms of the MSA;
  • Incorporates these Website Terms and the Privacy Policy by reference;
  • Constitutes the accepting party’s express acknowledgement that use of the Platform does not confer any ownership of PrismDx’s IP;
  • Constitutes the accepting party’s confirmation that they have read and understood Clause 5 of the MSA (Intellectual Property Rights) and Clause 7.1 (Fees — Access Only, Not Ownership).

6.2 No Rights from Demo or Enquiry

Submitting a request for a product demonstration, downloading any marketing material, or making any enquiry via the Website does not create any contractual relationship between PrismDx and the User, and does not grant any rights to the Platform or PrismDx’s IP. PrismDx reserves the right to decline any demo request at its sole discretion.

6.3 Client’s Own Terms Have No Effect

Any terms and conditions contained in a User’s or Client’s own purchase orders, procurement documents, or standard engagement terms have no legal effect on PrismDx and do not modify these Website Terms or the MSA, even if submitted or referenced without objection by PrismDx.

 

7. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
