Opt-Out & Discontinuation Rights

1. Scope & Applicability

This policy outlines the rights, procedures, and obligations associated with opting out of Aevum Zenth Conglomerate (“Aevum Zenth”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) services, products, or data processing activities, as well as the formal processes for discontinuation of individual and enterprise engagements. This document applies to all consumers, commercial clients, partners, and subsidiary entities operating under the Aevum Zenth umbrella across all jurisdictions where legally permissible.

2. General Opt-Out Rights

Users and clients retain the right to opt out of specific Aevum Zenth services, communications, or data processing practices at any time, subject to contractual and regulatory constraints. Opt-out rights include, but are not limited to:

• Marketing & Promotional Communications: Immediate opt-out via automated links, SMS commands, or preference centers.
• Non-Essential Data Processing: Opt-out of behavioral analytics, cross-divisional profiling, and AI-driven personalization.
• Third-Party Data Sharing: Right to restrict data transmission to non-core subsidiaries or external partners, except where legally mandated or contractually required for service continuity.
• Automated Decision-Making: Right to request human review in cases where automated systems materially impact service access, pricing, or eligibility.

Opt-out requests must be submitted through the Aevum Zenth Privacy Portal, via email to privacy@aevumzenth.global, or through your assigned Account Success Manager (B2B). Processing typically occurs within 30 days, or 45 days for complex enterprise requests.

3. Service Discontinuation Procedures

3.1 Consumer & Individual Accounts

Individual users may discontinue any Aevum Zenth service through their account dashboard. Upon confirmation, active subscriptions will cease at the end of the current billing cycle unless otherwise specified. Refund eligibility is determined by the specific product’s Terms of Service.

3.2 Enterprise & Commercial Accounts

Commercial discontinuation requires written notice via the Client Portal or designated legal counsel. Standard notice periods are as follows:

• Monthly Contracts: 30 days prior to intended termination date.
• Annual Contracts: 90 days prior to renewal date, unless early termination clauses apply.
• Custom/Megaproject Engagements: Governed by individual Master Service Agreements (MSAs) with phased wind-down protocols.

Aevum Zenth reserves the right to discontinue services for material breach, non-payment, regulatory non-compliance, or force majeure events, with written notice proportional to the service tier.

4. Data Removal & Account Closure

Upon confirmed discontinuation or opt-out, Aevum Zenth will initiate data archival and deletion protocols in accordance with our Data Retention Schedule. The following applies:

• Personal Data: Deleted or anonymized within 30 days of account closure, except where retention is required for tax, audit, or legal obligations (up to 7 years).
• Transactional & Financial Records: Retained per statutory requirements; accessible via secure export upon request.
• AI Training & Model Data: Data contributed to proprietary models may be excluded from future training cycles. Historical model weights cannot be altered retroactively.
• Cloud & Infrastructure Data: Enterprise clients may request data repatriation within 14 days of termination. Residual copies on backup systems are purged per our 30/60/90-day tiered deletion policy.

5. Financial Obligations & Final Settlements

Discontinuation does not automatically waive outstanding financial obligations. The following standards apply:

• Outstanding Invoices: Must be settled in full within 15 days of the discontinuation effective date.
• Early Termination Fees (ETFs): Apply only where explicitly outlined in executed contracts. No ETFs are imposed on consumer subscription tiers.
• Refunds & Credits: Processed within 30 days of final settlement. Unused prepaid credits may be reallocated to other Aevum Zenth divisions within 12 months.
• Security Deposits & Escrow: Released within 45 days following verification of asset return and compliance clearance.

6. Business-to-Business (B2B) Termination

B2B relationships are governed by the specific Master Service Agreement, Statement of Work, or Joint Venture charter. Standard termination rights include:

• For Convenience: Permitted only if explicitly negotiated in the MSA. Typically requires 180 days’ written notice.
• For Cause: Immediate termination rights upon material breach, insolvency, fraud, or regulatory violation, subject to cure periods where applicable.
• Transition Assistance: Aevum Zenth will provide reasonable transition support (typically 60–90 days) for critical infrastructure, API migrations, and data handovers, billed at standard hourly rates unless waived.
• Intellectual Property & Licensing: All licensed IP reverts upon termination. Perpetual licenses remain valid per original grant terms.

Aevum Zenth Conglomerate reserves the right to amend this policy with 30 days’ notice. Continued use of services following publication constitutes acceptance of revised terms.
