Subscriptions

Some parts of Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set on a monthly basis that begins the day after your Trial Service expires or the day a service is re-instated.

At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the same terms of the Agreement unless you cancel it at least seven (7) days prior to your renewal date or we cancel it. You may cancel your Subscription by completing the Active Account Cancellation Form.

A valid payment method, including credit card, is required to process the payment for your subscription. We may require the following payment information to process your payment: a full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize us to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to the payment method.

You can upgrade or downgrade anytime provided your current monthly usage falls within the limits of the new plan. If you upgrade or downgrade, your changes will take effect immediately and you’ll pay the new rate amount on your next billing date. You will not be charged a pro-rated amount for changes made between Billing Cycles. There are no refunds for past charges. We also do not give pro-rated or partial refunds.

Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, we may issue an electronic invoice indicating that you may need to submit full payment of the entire amount shown on the invoice using an alternative form of payment or by submitting payment information manually, over the phone, by email, or some other method within a certain deadline date. We may also, in our discretion and in addition to any other remedies we may have, suspend you and your Authorized Users’ access to the Service.

 

User Security

We do not sell any user account information to third-parties or any individuals for any reason. Each user is protected and information is not shared. Email addresses, phone numbers and addresses will not be shared to any third-parties. All documents that are stored in a transaction will not be shared to any third-parties. Our platform is built on the Salesforce Platform™ and is covered by the Salesforce® Security Guide. We do not make representations or warranties regarding Salesforce® security, and shall not be responsible for any breaches or failures of Salesforce® security.

We do not claim ownership rights in the documents, text, files, images, links, works of authorship, or any other materials that Customer uploads, downloads, stores, or shares via the Service (collectively, “Customer Content“). However, by uploading, downloading, storing or sharing Customer Content through the Service, Customer hereby grants us and our third party-partners a license under any of Customer’s applicable intellectual property or other rights protecting the Customer Content for the purpose of transmitting or storing them in connection with the Service. We reserve the right to remove any of the Customer Content from the Service at our sole discretion for any reason, including, without limitation, if we determine that it may infringe another party’s rights, this Agreement, our policies, or applicable law.

You consent on behalf of Customer and Authorized Users to receive commercial emails, SMS and text messaging from us and/or our partners, and acknowledge and agree that your email addresses, phone numbers and other information may be used for the purposes of initiation of commercial email, SMS and text messages. We will allow Customer to opt out of receiving some of these messages, but in order to stop receiving any messages from us whatsoever (including administrative messages regarding the Service), Customer will need to terminate its account.
