Agreement and ordering documents
These Terms of Service govern access to and use of Meridian Spend by the customer identified in an order form, online subscription, pilot agreement, or other written ordering document.
If an order form includes product-specific terms, usage limits, support commitments, or professional services, those terms apply only to the subscription described in that order form.
- A customer may use the service only for its internal business operations.
- Affiliates may use the service when the order form or administrator configuration permits it.
- If there is a conflict, the signed order form controls for the affected subscription.
Customer data and content
Customer retains all rights to procurement records, vendor profiles, invoices, contracts, files, comments, and other content submitted to the platform.
Customer grants Meridian the limited rights needed to host, process, secure, display, transmit, and support customer data as required to provide the service.
- Customer is responsible for the accuracy, legality, and quality of customer data.
- Meridian will not use customer data for advertising or sell customer data to third parties.
- Workspace exports are available to administrators through product and support workflows.
Acceptable use
The service may not be used to violate law, infringe rights, disrupt platform operations, bypass security controls, or access data belonging to another workspace.
Customer may not probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the production service except through an authorized security program or written approval from Meridian.
- Do not upload malicious code, credential dumps, or unlawful content.
- Do not reverse engineer hosted software except where law prohibits this restriction.
- Do not resell, sublicense, or provide a competing hosted service based on Meridian Spend.
Subscription fees and payment
Fees, billing frequency, payment terms, renewal dates, and usage limits are described in the applicable order form.
Unless an order form says otherwise, fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable once a paid subscription term begins.
- Customer is responsible for taxes other than taxes based on Meridian income.
- Late amounts may result in suspension after reasonable notice.
- Usage that exceeds contracted limits may require an amended order form or true-up.
Service availability and support
Meridian operates the service using commercially reasonable measures designed to support availability, performance, and recoverability.
Scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, beta features, customer-caused issues, third-party outages, and force majeure events are excluded from availability calculations unless a separate service level agreement says otherwise.
- Operational status is published on the status page.
- Support requests may be submitted through in-product support or support@meridianspend.com.
- Support response targets depend on the customer subscription plan.
Security commitments
Meridian maintains an information security program designed to protect customer data against unauthorized access, loss, and disclosure.
Security controls include encryption in transit, encryption at rest, access logging, least-privilege production access, vulnerability management, and incident response procedures.
- Customers may request available security documentation during procurement review.
- Customer must promptly notify Meridian of suspected unauthorized account use.
- Security obligations may be supplemented by a signed security addendum.
Confidentiality
Each party may receive non-public business, technical, security, pricing, or operational information from the other party.
The receiving party will protect confidential information using reasonable care and will use it only to perform obligations or exercise rights under the agreement.
- Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is already public through no fault of the receiving party.
- A party may disclose confidential information when required by law if it gives notice when legally permitted.
Third-party services and integrations
Customer may choose to connect Meridian Spend with identity providers, accounting systems, storage services, email services, or other third-party products.
Meridian is not responsible for third-party services that customer enables, and customer authorizes Meridian to exchange data with those services as configured by customer administrators.
- Third-party service terms govern the customer relationship with those providers.
- Disabling an integration may affect product workflows that depend on that integration.
Suspension and termination
Either party may terminate an agreement for material breach if the breach is not cured within thirty days after written notice.
Meridian may suspend access when necessary to prevent harm, comply with law, address unpaid fees after notice, or respond to security risk.
- Administrators may export customer data for a limited period after termination.
- Meridian deletes or returns customer data according to the agreement and applicable retention obligations.
- Sections intended to survive termination continue after the subscription ends.
Warranties and disclaimers
Meridian warrants that it will provide the service in a professional and workmanlike manner and materially in accordance with the applicable documentation.
Except for express warranties in the agreement, the service is provided without additional warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law.
- Meridian does not warrant that every workflow will be uninterrupted or error free.
- Customer remains responsible for procurement decisions, vendor decisions, accounting treatment, and legal review.
Liability and governing law
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages.
Each party aggregate liability is limited to the fees paid or payable for the service during the twelve months before the claim, except for exclusions stated in an order form or required by law.
