Terms of Service

Effective Date: February 12, 2026 Last Updated: February 12, 2026

1. Agreement Overview

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding agreement between the organization subscribing to Nordvest Ops ("Customer," "you," or "your") and Compressor Systems Inc., operating the Nordvest Ops platform ("Nordvest Ops," "we," "our," or "us").

By accessing or using Nordvest Ops, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization.

Nordvest Ops is a business-to-business service management platform designed for compressed air service companies. It is not intended for consumer or personal use.

2. Definitions

  • "Platform" means the Nordvest Ops web application, mobile applications, APIs, and all related services.
  • "Customer" means the organization that subscribes to Nordvest Ops.
  • "Authorized Users" means individuals granted access to the Platform by the Customer, including but not limited to administrators, service managers, and technicians.
  • "Customer Data" means all data entered into, uploaded to, or generated within the Platform by the Customer or its Authorized Users, including customer records, asset data, service records, photos, documentation, and notes.
  • "Service Agreement" means the separate written agreement between the Customer and Nordvest Ops specifying the subscribed modules, pricing, and any additional terms.
  • "Subscription Term" means the period during which the Customer has an active paid subscription to the Platform.

3. Account and Access

3.1 Account Registration

To use Nordvest Ops, the Customer must register an account and provide accurate, current, and complete information. The Customer is responsible for maintaining the accuracy of this information.

3.2 Authorized Users

The Customer controls which individuals have access to the Platform and at what permission level. The Customer is responsible for:

  • Managing user access, roles, and permissions within their organization
  • Ensuring Authorized Users comply with these Terms
  • Promptly revoking access for individuals who should no longer have it
  • All activity that occurs under the Customer's account

3.3 Account Security

The Customer is responsible for maintaining the security of account credentials. This includes:

  • Requiring strong passwords (the Platform enforces a minimum of 12 characters)
  • Enabling two-factor authentication where available
  • Not sharing login credentials between individuals
  • Notifying us promptly at support@pad19labs.com if unauthorized access is suspected

4. Subscription and Payment

4.1 Service Agreement

The Customer's subscription, including selected modules and pricing, is specified in a separate Service Agreement. These Terms govern the general use of the Platform; the Service Agreement governs the commercial terms specific to each Customer.

In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a Service Agreement, the Service Agreement will control with respect to the subject matter of that conflict.

4.2 Billing

  • Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance unless otherwise specified in the Service Agreement
  • Payment is due within 30 days of invoice date
  • All fees are stated in US dollars

4.3 Late Payment

If payment is not received within 30 days of the invoice date, we reserve the right to:

  • Charge interest at 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower) on outstanding balances
  • Suspend access to the Platform after providing 15 days written notice of the overdue balance
  • Terminate the subscription if payment remains outstanding for 60 days or more

Suspension or termination for non-payment does not relieve the Customer of the obligation to pay outstanding fees.

4.4 Price Changes

We may adjust pricing with at least 60 days written notice before the change takes effect. The Customer may terminate the subscription before the price change takes effect if the Customer does not agree to the new pricing.

5. Customer Data

5.1 Ownership

The Customer retains all rights, title, and ownership of Customer Data. We do not claim any ownership interest in Customer Data. We do not use Customer Data for any purpose other than providing and improving the Platform.

5.2 License to Process

The Customer grants us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, transmit, and display Customer Data solely for the purpose of providing the Platform and related support services. This license terminates when Customer Data is deleted from our systems.

5.3 Data Portability

The Customer may export their data at any time in a standard, portable format through the Platform or by request to our support team.

5.4 Data Deletion

Upon termination of the subscription, the Customer may request export of all Customer Data. We will delete all Customer Data within 30 days following termination, except where retention is required by law.

5.5 Backups

We maintain automated backups of Customer Data for disaster recovery purposes. Backup copies are purged on a rolling schedule consistent with our data retention practices.

Planned maintenance will be scheduled during off-peak hours when possible, and we will provide reasonable advance notice for maintenance that may affect availability.

7.2 Offline Functionality

Certain features of the Platform are designed to function offline and synchronize when connectivity is restored. We are not responsible for data discrepancies resulting from extended offline use or synchronization conflicts, though we design the Platform to minimize such issues.

11.3 Essential Purpose

The limitations in this section apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, so these limitations may not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
