DATATRAILS specifically disclaims all warranties and liabilities with respect to the quality, accuracy or safety of Open Source Resources provided on or through the Websites, and shall provide no maintenance, technical or other support for any Open Source Resource or its use.
3.6 – Verified Domain Names
A User may choose to distribute or make available to recipients certain Service Data that such User submitted to the Services. Such Service Data may be submitted to the Services from some other domain associated with that User. Similarly, a User may create Public or Private Metadata from some other domain associated with such User. When a recipient receives access to such Service Data through the Services, the domain URL from which the Service Data was received is displayed to the recipient. Similarly, when a recipient accesses Public or Private Metadata, the domain URL from which that Public or Private Metadata was created may be displayed to the recipient. DATATRAILS will display a “Verified” or “Verified Organization” icon adjacent to the domain if the User, under a paid Service Plan, has submitted to DATATRAILS, and DATATRAILS has confirmed to DATATRAILS’s reasonable satisfaction that the domain registration information received matches the User information DATATRAILS received from the User in connection with the User establishing and maintaining their Account. A User that has verified its domain may be referred to as a “Verified Organization.” Users are obligated to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete domain information, and such domain information shall be deemed Account information subject to the same obligations as set forth in Section 2.1. Other than confirming that the domain registration information and the Account information match, DATATRAILS has not performed any other review or diligence upon the domain or the Service Data. Users who receive Service Data (i.e., recipients) are solely responsible for assessing and evaluating the Service Data sent or made available to them, including the source of such Service Data including any domain. DATATRAILS reserves the right, but not obligation, to suspend or revoke the “Verified” status of any domain in its sole discretion, including if DATATRAILS determines or reasonably suspects that any domain information is not true, accurate, current or correct.
3.7 – Provenance Data
A User may create a provenance record using the Services through directly connecting the Service to the User’s system, or by implementing a connection between the Services and an DATATRAILS-supported, third-party application connection (e.g., Dropbox). The provenance record consists of user-supplied provenance metadata and system-applied provenance metadata (including but not limited to cryptographic hashes, timestamps, and authenticated user information).
The User selects whether the provenance record will include full copies of data assets along with the metadata elements. The User is solely responsible for selecting whether the provenance record will include full data assets, and DATATRAILS, its Affiliates and third-party service providers have no responsibility or liability for the User’s selection. If the User selects to include copies of data assets in the provenance record, then the data assets will be considered by DATATRAILS to be user-supplied provenance metadata and subject to all the terms of 3.7.1 and 3.7.2 (as appropriate).
The User selects whether the provenance metadata will be Private Metadata or Public Metadata by configuring their program settings. The User is solely responsible for selecting whether the provenance metadata will be Public Metadata or Private Metadata, and DATATRAILS, its Affiliates and third-party service providers have no responsibility or liability for the User’s selection.
3.7.1 Private Metadata
For provenance records created in their own DATATRAILS Account, the User selects which other DATATRAILS Users shall have access to the Private Metadata by configuring their program settings. In this case, aside from DATATRAILS itself, that Private Metadata will only be accessible by those other DATATRAILS Account holders to whom the User has enabled access. The User is solely responsible for enabling access to other DATATRAILS Users, and DATATRAILS, its Affiliates and third-party service providers have no responsibility or liability for the User’s selection.
For provenance records created in a different DATATRAILS Account, the administrator of that other DATATRAILS Account selects which other DATATRAILS Users shall have access to the Private Metadata (including granting write access to the User) by configuring their program settings. In this case, aside from DATATRAILS itself, that Private Metadata will only be accessible by those other DATATRAILS Account holders to whom the administrator of the other DATATRAILS Account has enabled access. The User is solely responsible for choosing which other DATATRAILS Accounts they send Private Metadata to, and DATATRAILS, its Affiliates and third-party service providers have no responsibility or liability for the User’s selection.
By creating Private Metadata, the User grants DATATRAILS a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, process, copy, display (solely as permitted herein) such Private Metadata for purposes of the Services and DATATRAILS’s business use.
3.7.2 Public Metadata
If the User chooses to generate Public Metadata, then that entire provenance record and all metadata will become part of the public domain, be readily available and searchable via the internet and may be accessed without requiring a DATATRAILS Account.
3.8 – Instaproof
For data assets for which Public Metadata has been created, any recipient of that data asset may check its provenance using Instaproof. By dragging and dropping the data asset onto the Instaproof site one or more cryptographic hashes of that data asset are generated on the recipient’s device and submitted to Instaproof along with other information such as file type and size to query the Public Metadata stored with DATATRAILS. If the query matches Public Metadata stored with DATATRAILS, that corresponding Public Metadata will be displayed to the recipient. DATATRAILS does not receive or gain access to the data asset through the recipient’s use of Instaproof. Instead, DATATRAILS receives only the cryptographic hash(es) thereof and other information submitted therewith.
4. Fees and Payments

You agree to pay any applicable fees in accordance with the Service Plan you select on an Order Form.
4.2 – Upgrades and Downgrades
