You must immediately notify us of any use of your account by an unauthorized third party and any other such security breach. We will not be liable for any loss that may occur as a result of someone else using your account or password, with or without your knowledge, except to the extent that the loss you suffer is caused by Signetronics’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.
3.7 As between Signetronics and the Subscriber, any Content remains the property of the Subscriber. Upon cancellation or termination of the Service, Signetronics shall only liaise with the Administrator or the designated Authorized User described in Section 3.5 above (if the Administrator is unable to be reached) regarding the retrieval of Content.
3.8 All access to and use of the Service via automated means (that is to say, use other than direct interaction with a human Authorized User) is strictly prohibited.
3.9 Disputes may arise between business partners, firm members, or other persons regarding ownership of or access to an account and its associated Content. While Signetronics has no obligation to do so, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to take one or more of the following actions (a) request additional documentation we deem necessary to determine ownership, including sworn affidavits and court orders; (b) require that all parties claiming ownership provide joint written instructions authorizing any changes to the account; (c) suspend access to the account until the disputing parties provide written documentation, in a form reasonably satisfactory to us, proving that the dispute has been resolved; or (d) transfer control of the account to the party we determine (acting reasonably) to be the rightful owner.

Any decision we make regarding account ownership will be based solely on the information provided to us and is solely for the purposes of account access until any applicable dispute is resolved. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Signetronics shall not be liable for any decision we make, or for any action or inaction we take, in good faith in connection with an ownership dispute.
3.10 Subscriber is solely responsible for any Content and represents and warrants to Signetronics that Subscriber has made all disclosures, provided all notices, and has obtained all rights, consents, and permissions necessary to provide the Content to Signetronics and to permit Signetronics to use and process the Content as set forth in this Agreement without violating or infringing any laws, third-party rights, or terms or policies that apply to the Content. Additionally, if Subscriber or its Authorized Users publish such Content, Subscriber represents and warrants to Signetronics that Subscriber has made all disclosures, provided all notices, and has obtained all rights, consents, and permissions necessary to publish the Content without violating or infringing any laws, third-party rights, or terms or policies that apply to the Content.

5.3 At all times, Signetronics, and any third party vendors and hosting partners it utilizes to provide the Service, will:
(a) use information security standard practices for transmitting and storing your Content, adhering to industry standards;
(b) ensure its host facilities maintain industry standards for security and privacy.
5.5 In the event of unauthorized access to, disclosure of, use of, or damage to Content (a “Security Breach”), Signetronics shall (a) assist and cooperate with Subscriber in investigating and preventing the recurrence of the Security Breach; (b) assist and cooperate with Subscriber in any litigation or investigation against third parties that Subscriber undertakes, at Subscriber’s sole cost to protect the security and integrity of Content; and (c) use commercially reasonable endeavors to mitigate any harmful effect of the Security Breach.
6. Legal Compliance
Signetronics maintains that its primary duty is to protect the Content to the extent the law allows. Signetronics reserves the right to provide the Confidential Information to third parties as required and permitted by law (such as in response to a subpoena or court order), and to cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of any criminal or civil matter.
If Signetronics is required by law to make any disclosure of the Confidential Information that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Agreement, then Signetronics will provide Subscriber with prompt written notice (to the extent permitted by law) prior to such disclosure so that the Subscriber may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief at Subscriber’s sole cost. Subject to the foregoing sentence, Signetronics may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that it is legally compelled or otherwise legally required to disclose.
7. Content Retrieval upon Cancellation or Termination of Service
Following any cancellation or termination of Service for any reason, Subscriber shall have ninety days to retrieve any and all Content.
8. Payment, No Refunds, and Subscription Changes
8.1 To use the Service, you must provide a current, valid, accepted method of payment, as may be updated from time to time (“Payment Method”). As consideration for the Services, you agree to pay the subscription fees advertised by Signetronics, or set out in the applicable Order Document, in the manner specified below.
8.2 You authorize Signetronics, via the Payment Processor (as defined below), to charge the subscription fee and applicable Taxes (as defined below) for each billing cycle to your Payment Method.
8.3 Subscriber is responsible for and shall pay all applicable taxes, duties, tariffs, assessments, export and import fees, or other governmental charges (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed by any jurisdiction as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, Subscriber’s use of the Service, or any transactions contemplated herein, excluding only taxes imposed on Signetronics’ net income. If Signetronics is required by law to collect or remit any such Taxes, Signetronics shall include such amounts for payment with the subscription fees, and Subscriber shall pay such amounts when due along with the subscription fees. Subscriber shall provide Signetronics with valid tax exemption certificates or other documentation reasonably requested by Signetronics to support any claimed exemption from Taxes.
8.4 Unless you cancel your subscription 30 days in advance of the expiration of the subscription term then you authorize Signetronics, via the Payment Processor, to charge the subscription fee and applicable Taxes for the next renewal term to your Payment Method in advance of the start of such term, taking into account the expiration of any discounts, and any Subscription Upgrades and/or Subscription Downgrades, each as contemplated below.
8.5 To the extent permitted by law and except as provided in this Agreement (including without limitation Exhibit A), all charges are final, non-refundable, and non-cancellable, including without limitation all setup fees, implementation charges, subscription fees and other professional services charges, as applicable. For certainty, if you terminate your subscription within a subscription term, you will be required to pay the balance of the subscription fees owing for the remainder of the term then in effect and you authorize Signetronics to charge the Payment Method in full in such circumstances.
8.6 You may increase the total number of users, additional products and any plan upgrades (each, a “Subscription Upgrade”) at any time, in which case you will be charged immediately for the entire cost of the Subscription Upgrade from the effective date of the Subscription Upgrade prorated until the end of the then current billing cycle or subscription term, as applicable, and, at the start of the next billing period or subscription term, as applicable, the cost of the Subscription Upgrade will be incorporated into your payments.
8.7 While you may reduce the number of Authorized Users, reduce the number of products subscribed, or enact plan downgrades at any time during a subscription term (each a “Subscription Downgrade”), doing so will not result in any refunds or reductions in fees during the subscription term then in effect. For certainty, if done within a subscription term, any reduction in fees resulting from a Subscription Downgrade will only become effective upon the next renewal. Further, no refunds or credits will be issued for partial periods of service, unused subscriptions or removal of Subscribers or Authorized Users. Subscription Downgrades, may result in loss of access to certain Content, features, or reduction in the amount of available capacity for Content provided by the Service.
8.8 All payments under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any taxes. If Subscriber is required to deduct or withhold any taxes from such payments, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings, Signetronics receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
8.9 All subscription fees are subject to change upon notice. Such notice may be provided by an e-mail message to the Administrator, or in the form of an announcement on the Service. Continued use of the Service following any modification constitutes Subscriber’s acceptance of the modification of subscription fees.
8.10 Certain Services may be offered as free trials at Signetronics’ sole discretion, with eligibility criteria determined by Signetronics (“Free Trials”). In connection with Free Trials, Signetronics will require a Payment Method for pre-authorization or to confirm the validity of your Payment Method. Upon the expiration of the Free Trial, except as otherwise agreed by Signetronics, your subscription to the applicable Service will commence automatically and you will be charged the applicable subscription fees to the Payment Method provided, unless you cancel the Free Trial before its conclusion. To view specific details of the subscription, access “Show Subscriptions” under “Manage Your Account” within the Service. Please be aware that Signetronics will continue to bill and charge for subsequent subscription cycles in accordance with Sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement, unless you cancel the subscription pursuant Section 9.1 of this Agreement
9. Cancellation and Termination
9.1 The initial term of your subscription shall be as set forth in your Order Document. After the initial term, your subscription will automatically renew for successive terms equal in length to your initial term, until cancelled in accordance with this Agreement.
9.2 Subscriptions may be cancelled with 30 days advanced notice of cancellation prior to the renewal date of the subscription and such cancellation will become effective at the end of the then current subscription term as determined based on the cancellation notice requirement.
9.3 If you cancel your subscription within a subscription term the entire unpaid balance of all amounts owing for the remainder of the applicable term will immediately be due and payable (as updated to include the cost of any applicable Subscription Upgrades). For certainty, there will be no payment adjustments for unused services or for the removal of any licenses during that period, or otherwise.
9.4 If a Subscriber wishes to cancel its subscription, an Administrator may do so on its behalf any time by accessing the Service and visiting the subscription section via settings, provided that a cancellation that is initiated within a term, will not be effective until the expiration of the then current term as determined based on the cancellation notice requirement in Section 9.2.
9.5 Signetronics, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service to any Subscriber without notice for actions that are (a) in violation of this Agreement, (b) in violation of applicable law or regulations, or (c) create a Security Emergency.
9.6 As stated in Section 7 above (“Content Retrieval upon Cancellation or Termination of Service”), upon cancellation or termination of a subscription, Content is made available to the Administrator or a designated Authorized User.

10. Limitation of Liability
10.1 Except in the case of a violation by Signetronics of its obligations under Section 4(Confidentiality) and Section 5 (Security and Access), and except as provided in Section 12.2 (Indemnification), Signetronics shall not be liable for and Subscriber waives the right to claim any loss, injury, claim, liability or damage of any kind resulting in any way from the Service provided to Subscriber by Signetronics.
10.2 SUBSCRIBER AGREES THAT THE LIABILITY OF SIGNETRONICS ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIM IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE SERVICE PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD BEFORE THE DATE THE CLAIM AROSE.

THESE DISCLAIMERS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER THOSE DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER SIGNETRONICS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES. THESE DISCLAIMERS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.2. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY SIGNETRONICS TO SUBSCRIBER AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE FROM AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
10.3 Subscriber will solely be responsible for any damage and/or loss of Content contained in Subscriber’s technology which occurs as a result of Subscriber’s electronic equipment and/or Subscriber’s computer system.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties

11.2 Signetronics makes no warranty that its Service or the software included therein when provided to Subscriber in digital or electronic format will be compatible with Subscriber computer and/or other equipment, or that this Service or the software included therein will be secure or error free.

12. Indemnification
12.1 Subscriber hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Signetronics from and against any claim, action, proceeding, loss, liability, judgment, obligation, penalty, damage, cost or expense, including attorneys’ fees, which arise from or relate to the following:

Subscriber shall not settle any indemnifiable event or loss which could be detrimental to Signetronics or its interests without Signetronics’ express written consent.
12.2 Subject to Section 12.3, Signetronics shall defend, indemnify and hold Subscriber harmless against any loss, damage or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with claims, demands, suits, or proceedings (“Claims”) made or brought against Subscriber by a third party alleging that the Service, or use of the Service as contemplated hereunder, infringes a copyright, a U.S. patent issued as of the date of final execution of this Agreement, or a trademark of a third party or involves the misappropriation of any trade secret of a third party.
12.3 If Subscriber becomes aware of a potential Claim, Subscriber shall (a) promptly give written notice of the Claim to Signetronics (provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve Signetronics of its indemnification obligations unless Signetronics can show that it was materially prejudiced by such delay and then only to the extent of such prejudice); (b) give Signetronics sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that Signetronics may not settle any Claim unless it unconditionally releases Subscriber of all liability); and (c) provide to Signetronics, at Signetronics’ cost, all reasonable assistance. Signetronics shall not be required to indemnify Subscriber in the event of: (x) modification of the Service by Subscriber in conflict with Subscriber’s obligations under this Agreement or as a result of any prohibited activity as set forth herein; (y) use of the Service in combination with any other product or service not provided by Signetronics; or (z) use of the Service in a manner not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.
13. Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement
13.1 Signetronics takes claims of copyright infringement seriously. If you believe that any copyrighted material owned by you has been infringed upon by someone using the Service, you may request removal of those materials from the Service by submitting written notification, entitled “DMCA Notice”, to Signetronics’ Copyright Agent at info@signetronics.com. In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”), the written notice (the “DMCA Notice”) must include substantially the following:
your name;
the name and description of the work that is being infringed;
identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow Signetronics to locate that material;
a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
adequate information by which Signetronics can contact you (including your name, email address, postal address, and telephone number);
a statement that the information in the written notice is accurate; and
