At DevSamurai, we prioritize your trust, privacy, and seamless interaction with our software solutions. We’re excited to announce that we’ve adopted the Bonterms Standard Agreement for Marketplace Transactions as the foundation of our End User License Agreement (EULA), along with an updated Data Protection Addendum (DPA) for our apps on the Atlassian Marketplace.
Bonterms is a widely recognized industry standard designed to simplify legal agreements and ensure fairness for both providers and users. By adopting Bonterms, we’re enhancing transparency, improving user experience, and staying aligned with global best practices for licensing and data protection.
