Terms of service.

READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (THIS “AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTINUING REGISTRATION OR OTHERWISE USING THE SERVICE. BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO FOLLOW AND BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND, IN SUCH EVENT, “YOU” AND “YOUR” AS USED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL REFER TO SUCH ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICE.

The parties agree as follows:

  1. DEFINITIONS. “You” and “your” refers to (i) the individual or entity that has ordered the Service from Provider by creating an account or by otherwise using the Service; or (ii) any other individual or entity that accesses or uses the Service. “Service” means the ProcessPlan application. “User” means an individual who is authorized by you to use the Service and to whom you have, or Provider at your request has, supplied User Credentials. “Provider” means ProcessPlan LLC.

  2. USE OF SERVICE.

    1. License.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You and your Users shall have the nonexclusive, non-assignable, limited right to access and use the Service, solely for your internal business operations.

You must provide your full legal name and a valid email address to activate your subscription. You must be human to create an account. Accounts registered by automated methods are not permitted. Upon the establishment of a Subscription, an administrator user name and password is generated (“Admin Credentials”). By logging into the Service with such Admin Credentials, you can create and administer one or more user accounts, each with a unique user name and password (“User Credentials”). Admin Credentials and User Credentials are jointly referred to as “Credentials.” The Credentials are used to authenticate the User and thereby allow access to the Service, including any of your data stored as part of the Service. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the Credentials. You shall not share Credentials amongst multiple Users and you shall not transfer or share the Credentials with any third party. You acknowledge and agree that Provider and its licensors and suppliers may rely on the Credentials as the sole test to control whether users accessing and using the Service on your behalf are authorized to do so. You are fully liable for any act or omission of any users that access or use the Service with the Credentials.

Provider or its licensors or providers will defend you against any claims, actions, suits, demands, obligations, and proceedings (“Claims”) made or brought against you by a third party alleging that the use of the Service in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, and will indemnify you from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against you as a result of, or for amounts paid by you under a court-approved settlement of, any such Claim.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9 WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY IN THIS AGREEMENT.

  10. CONFIDENTIALITY; PRIVACY; SECURITY.

    1. Confidentiality.  Provider may disclose to the other party certain Trade Secrets and Confidential Information of such party or of such party’s associated companies, distributors, licensors, suppliers, or customers. For purposes of this Agreement, “Trade Secrets” means information that is a trade secret under law; “Confidential Information” means information, other than Trade Secrets, that is of value to its owner and is treated as confidential; “Proprietary Information” means Trade Secrets and Confidential Information; the “Disclosing Party” refers to the party disclosing Proprietary Information hereunder, whether such disclosure is directly from Disclosing Party or through Disclosing Party’s employees or agents; and “Recipient” refers to the party receiving any Proprietary Information hereunder, whether such disclosure is received directly or through Recipient’s employees, providers or agents. Subject to Section 10.2, Recipient agrees to hold the Proprietary Information disclosed by Disclosing Party in confidence and not to, directly or indirectly, copy, reproduce, distribute, manufacture, duplicate, reveal, report, publish, disclose, cause to be disclosed, or otherwise transfer the Proprietary Information disclosed by Disclosing Party to any third party, or utilize the Proprietary Information disclosed by Disclosing Party for any purpose whatsoever other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. You acknowledge that the Service and related materials are the Proprietary Information of Provider or its licensors and other providers. The obligations in this Section shall continue for so long as such information constitutes Proprietary Information. The foregoing obligations shall not apply if and to the extent that: (i) Recipient establishes that the information communicated was publicly known at the time of Recipient’s receipt or has become publicly known other than by a breach of this Agreement; or (ii) Recipient is ordered by an administrative agency or other governmental body of competent jurisdiction to disclose the Proprietary Information, provided however, that, Recipient shall first notify Disclosing Party prior to disclosure, if allowed by law, in order to give Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement and shall disclose only that part of the Proprietary Information which Recipient is required to disclose.

    2. Privacy Policy.  Provider acknowledges that your privacy is important. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, you and Provider acknowledge and agree to the terms set forth in the Privacy Policy set forth at https://processplan.com/privacy-policy. To the extent the Privacy Policy conflicts with this Agreement, the Privacy Policy shall control. The Privacy Policy is subject to change at Provider’s discretion. The Privacy Policy governs only information collected through the Service or the administration thereof.

    3. Data Privacy; Security. You acknowledge and agree that the Service may include the storage and processing of personal data that may be subject to mandatory legislation, such as the legislation based on EU Directive 95/46/EC which aims to prevent the violation of personal integrity in the processing of personal data (as amended, the “Personal Data Act”). You will always be considered as the controller of personal data provided by you or Users even if the processing is carried out by Provider or its providers. Provider and its providers engaged for the storage and other processing of data are considered your data processors (personal data assistants) and it is your sole responsibility to ensure that such processing of personal data is in compliance with the Personal Data Act and other applicable legislation. You will promptly notify Provider if its or its providers’ processing of personal data is subject to legislation which is not based on the Personal Data Act. If a provision under the Personal Data Act or other legislation would confer responsibility or liability directly on Provider or its providers to ensure compliance with such legislation, Provider is unwilling to grant any access to the Service and you must cease access to and use of the Service immediately and notify Provider thereof. Provider acknowledges that the security of the personal data and other data belonging to you is important. Provider and its providers will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of your data in compliance with the Personal Data Act, if applicable. However, no password-protected system of data storage and retrieval can be made entirely impenetrable and you therefore acknowledge and agree that the Service are not invulnerable to all security breaches or immune from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.

  11. TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES.  Nothing in this Agreement confers upon either party any right to use the other party’s trademarks or trade names (“Marks”), except in Provider’s performance of the Service. All use of such Marks by either party will inure to the benefit of the owner of such Marks, use of which will be subject to specifications controlled by the owner.

  12. EXPORT. Export laws and regulations of the United States and any other relevant local export laws and regulations apply to the Service. You agree that such export control laws govern your use of the Service (including technical data), and you agree to comply with all such export laws and regulations (including “deemed export” and “deemed re-export” regulations). You agree that no data, information, software programs or materials resulting from the Service will be exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of these laws, or will be used for any purpose prohibited by these laws including, without limitation, nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons proliferation, or development of missile technology.

  13. GENERAL. Provider may audit your use of the Service. You agree to cooperate with Provider’s audit and provide reasonable assistance and access to information. Any such audit shall not unreasonably interfere with your normal business operations. You agree that Provider shall not be responsible for any of your costs incurred in cooperating with the audit. Provider will be and act as an independent contractor (and not as your agent or representative) in the performance of this Agreement and no joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship between the parties. Provider may utilize subcontractors or other third parties to perform its duties under this Agreement. You may not assign the agreement or give or transfer the Service or an interest in them to another individual or entity. All notices, authorizations, and requests in connection with this Agreement will be deemed given: (a) three days after they are deposited in the U.S. mails, postage prepaid, certified or registered, return receipt requested; (b) one day after they are sent by air express courier, charges prepaid; or (c) on the day of transmittal if sent by facsimile or by email, in each case to such address as the party to receive the notice or request so designates by written notice to the other. Provider will not be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond Provider’s reasonable control. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflict of laws principles. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect. This Agreement will be interpreted fairly in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against either party. This Agreement will be construed as though all parties had drafted it. This Agreement (including information and other agreements incorporated into this Agreement by reference) is the final and complete expression of the agreement between these parties regarding the Service.  This Agreement supersedes, and the terms of this Agreement govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into this Agreement.  Provider will not be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to this Agreement that is proffered by you in any receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise.
