Online Purchase of Services

All purchases through our Website are governed by these Terms of Service. The customer is the entity signing up for a subscription through the Website and thus the party contractually bound to the Company (the “Customer”)., You must use your corporate email address when you sign up for the Services, and your employer or organization will be deemed to be the Customer.

Individuals authorized by the Customer to access the Services (“Authorized Users”) may submit information to the Website. Customer will inform Authorized Users of all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to their use of the Services and of any settings that may impact the processing of Customer data, and insure that the transfer and processing of Customer data via the Services is lawful.

Each Authorized User must have a subscription to the Services in order to access and use the Services. Pricing information is available on the subscription page of the Website.

Occasionally Authorized Users are given the opportunity to become beta testers of new Services features. These features are made available “as is” without any warranties whatsoever. If Customer volunteer to test these features, we welcome feedback, as the primary reason for testing these features is to receive such feedback and correct any problems before making such features widely available.

Payment Terms

All fees are non-refundable and are exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases, except for those taxes based on our net income. Should any payment for the services be subject to withholding tax by any government, Customer will reimburse us for such withholding tax. In the event that any fees are not required to be paid upfront and are invoiced to Customer, the terms of such invoice shall be net 30. Without limiting our other rights and remedies, any accounts that become overdue may be downgraded to “free plans” until all outstanding amounts are paid in full. Customer acknowledges and agrees that such a downgrade will result in a decrease in certain features and functionality and potential loss of access to Customer data.

Description of the Services

The Services allow Customer and its Authorized Users to manage and track their project portfolio. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week excluding planned downtime and any emergency downtime due to unanticipated outages or other like issues. We anticipate downtime to be infrequent but will attempt to provide reasonable advance notice to the extent practicable.

Customer Data; License to Customer Data; Data Portability and Deletion

Customer acknowledges and agrees that it bears sole responsibility at all times for adequate security and protection of Customer data. Customer hereby grants us a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited-use license to access, use, process, copy, distribute perform, export and display Customer data as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain and update the Services; to prevent or address service, security, support or technical issues; as may be required by law; or as expressly permitted in writing by the Customer. Customer represents and warrants that it has secured all rights in and to Customer data from its Authorized Users as may be necessary or desirable to grant such license.

Customer will be permitted to export or share certain Customer data from the Services; however, Customer acknowledges and agrees that the ability to export or share Customer data may be limited or unavailable depending on the type of Services plan in effect and the data retention, sharing or invite settings enabled. Following termination or expiration of a workspace’s subscriptions, we will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer data and may thereafter, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer data in our systems or otherwise in our possession or under our control.

Term/Termination

A paid subscription to the Services will continue until its termination date unless terminated earlier by the Customer or the Company. All paid subscriptions auto-renew for additional periods equal to the preceding term, and the per-unit pricing during any renewal term remains the same as it was during the immediately preceding term unless the Company otherwise notifies the Customer thirty (30) or more days prior to the auto-renewal. Either party may provide the other party with thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination in order to prevent auto-renewal. The Company may terminate any subscription at any time if it believes that a Customer has violated or is in violation of the Terms of Service or any other Company Policy, or is using the Services in violation of applicable law. Customer may only terminate a paid subscription early if Company is in material default in fulfilling a material term or condition of the Services, and such material default has not been corrected after Customer has provided the Company with written notice of such material default and given the Company thirty (30) days to cure. In such situation, Customer will be refunded any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term; in all other termination scenarios, however, Customer is responsible for all unpaid fees covering the remainder of the subscription term.
