This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions governing your use of the Services, and the use by the entity on whose behalf you sign up. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you may not use the Services.
LICENSE
As long as you are in compliance with the conditions of this Agreement and all incorporated documents, we hereby grant you during the Term a limited, revocable, non-assignable, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to access and use the Services and the materials thereon that are intended to be displayed publicly. No rights not explicitly listed are granted.
INCORPORATED TERMS
The following additional terms are incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein:
DISCLAIMERS
While we make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Services remain live and available, we do not represent or warrant that access to the Services will be error-free or uninterrupted, and we do not guarantee that users will be able to access or use the Services, or their features, at all times. We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice.
The Services may contain typographical errors or inaccuracies, including relating to price, and may not be complete or current. We reserve the right to correct any such errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice.
Although we have the right to review, edit, remove or modify information from or on the Services, we may not screen this material or control the sources of this information, and we do not guarantee the accuracy, suitability, completeness, currency, quality, adequacy or applicability of any such information.
ELIGIBILITY
You must be over the age of 18 to register an account or use the Services on behalf of the business you are registering for the Services.
When you create an account on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized by said entity to create the account and to bind the entity to this Agreement and to purchases and orders that may be made through that account.
You are not eligible to use the Services if doing so would violate any U.S. law or regulation, including but not limited to export controls or restrictions.
SUBSCRIPTION AND FEES
As more fully described on the Services, certain elements of the Services may require fees for access.
We may use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to charge you through an online account for use of the Software. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor.
You agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges for purchases made by you, and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”).
Subject to the fee structure and calculations stated on the Services, fees are due based on the subscription tier (the “Tier”) you select on the Service.
If you wish to cancel, upgrade or downgrade your subscription, you may do so at any time through your account. Any charges incurred prior to cancellation or downgrade are non-refundable. If you upgrade your subscription, you will be charged the difference in your current subscription and the upgraded subscription at that time, and you will be charged the price for the upgraded subscription on an ongoing basis until cancellation. If you downgrade your subscription, you will be charged the reduced price at the beginning of the next term.
We will automatically charge your Payment Method at the end of each subscription period (monthly, yearly, etc…). If you purchase a subscription, it may result in recurring charges to your Payment Method, and you agree that we may charge such amounts until such a time as your subscription expires or you cancel the subscription, depending on the subscription type. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. For any subscription products, you agree that your license to the Service is not a service, repair or maintenance to real or personal property.
Your account will be considered delinquent if payment in full is not successful when a charge is initiated. Unless specified in an invoice, amounts due are exclusive of all applicable taxes, levies, or duties, and you will be responsible for payment of all such amounts. If you believe that any specific charge under this Agreement is incorrect, in order to obtain a credit, you must contact us in writing within 30 days of invoice date setting forth the nature and amount of the requested correction; otherwise invoices are final.
In addition to other applicable remedies, we reserve the right to suspend and/or terminate your access to the Service and/or terminate this Agreement if your Payment Method is declined or fails and Customer’s account therefore is delinquent. Charges to delinquent accounts are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
ACCESS TO CREDENTIALS
You understand and agree that in order to use certain functions of the Services, you may be asked by us to provide certain credentials or other login information for third-party services (“Credentials”).

DISPUTES, GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement, and shall be used in any arbitration proceeding.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address: 12 S. Main St. #412 Allentown, NJ 08501.
Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.
You and us agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and us agree that parties have each waived any right to a jury trial.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
To the extent arbitrations does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services, or to us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in New York, New York. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN NEW YORK.

More information on the availability of such software can be found through publicly available sources. You may wish to contact your internet service provider for more information.
GENERAL

DISPUTES, GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
You agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Services or any service provided by us, will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement, and shall be used in any arbitration proceeding.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address: 12 S. Main St. #412 Allentown, NJ 08501.
Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.
You and us agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and us agree that parties have each waived any right to a jury trial.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
To the extent arbitrations does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services, or to us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in New York, New York. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN NEW YORK.
