Sorenson offers a variety of communication-enabling services as described in one or more Service Descriptions, which include the Documentation, support, features, and functionality provided through Sorenson’s software and applications (including, without limitation, the Application) (collectively, the “Services”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the term specified in the Service Order, Sorenson will provide Customer the Services set forth in the Service Order.
Each Service Description describes how Customer can access the Services, which may include Customer setting up one or more dedicated accounts (“Customer Accounts”), which may require the creation of a username and password by Customer (the “Credentials”). Customer will provide accurate and complete information creating the Customer Account and Credentials. Sorenson will not be liable for losses caused by any unauthorized use of the Customer Account or Credentials. Customer is solely responsible (i) for any transactions or uses undertaken by means of such Customer Account or Credential; and (ii) to keep such Credentials protected and confidential. Customer must notify Sorenson promptly of any breach of security or any known unauthorized use of the Customer Account or Credentials. In such a case, Customer agrees that Sorenson may terminate or suspend the Customer Account and/or transaction undertaken through such Customer Account. Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer may delete its Customer Account by emailing its Sorenson account manager. Notwithstanding deletion of the Customer Account, Sorenson may retain Customer Content (as defined below) as reasonably necessary for compliance with applicable law.
Customer will pay the fees set forth in the applicable Service Order (the “Fees”). Fees for Services are payable by credit card or other payment method permitted by Sorenson from time to time, in U.S. dollars (unless another currency is specified in the Service Order), and Customer authorizes Sorenson to charge Customer’s credit card or bank account for all Fees and Taxes payable during the Term. Customer represents and warrants to Sorenson that all payment information Customer provides is accurate and that Customer is authorized to use the applicable payment instrument. Customer further authorizes Sorenson to use a third party to process payments, and consents to the disclosure of Customer’s payment information to such third party in order to enable payment processing. Customer’s obligation to pay the Fees is without the right of set-off, deductions, or counterclaim. Customer agrees that Sorenson may charge Customer, and Customer will pay to Sorenson, any fee or penalty that is assessed or charged to Sorenson for a “Chargeback” resulting from a failure or refusal of Customer’s selected method of payment to make a required payment. This payment shall be refunded to Customer in the event that Customer’s selected method of payment resolves this dispute in Customer’s favor. Some Services accept recurring period charges. By choosing Services with a recurring payment feature, Customer accepts responsibility for all recurring charges owed for the Services. Sorenson may choose to bill Customer through an invoice, in which case Sorenson will invoice Customer for the Services monthly (or such other period as specified in the Service Order) as further set forth in the Service Description, and payment will be due thirty (30) days following the date of invoice, without deduction. Invoices will be sent to the email address specified in the Service Order and will be deemed received on the date sent. Customer will pay interest on past due amounts at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, and will be responsible for all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees. All Fees are exclusive of any country, province, federal, state, or local taxes, including without limitation, use, sales, value-added, privilege, or other taxes, levies, imports, duties, fees, surcharges, governmental assessments, and withholdings (“Taxes”). Customer will be solely liable for and will pay upon demand all Taxes associated with Customer’s access to and use of the Services and will not deduct any Taxes or any other withholdings from the Fees, but will not be responsible for taxes based on Sorenson’s net income.
Subject to Customer’s compliance with this Agreement, Sorenson hereby grants Customer a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable limited right until this Agreement or the Services are terminated as expressly permitted herein to (i) access and use the Services and any user manuals, handbooks, and guides relating to the Services provided by Sorenson (“Documentation”); and/or (ii) make the Services available to Customer’s employees, customers, students, or other Customer-authorized parties, as applicable (“End Users”). This right extends to Customer’s Affiliates (defined below), provided that they access Services via a Customer Account and provided further that Customer remains fully liable for all acts and omissions of its Affiliates. Any access to Services by any Customer Affiliate will be deemed access by Customer for the purposes of its obligations under this Agreement. An “Affiliate,” with respect to a Party, means any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that Party.
Customer will not use the Services for any purposes beyond the scope of the access granted in this Agreement. In addition to complying with the terms of the Agreement and the applicable Service Order, Customer will not, and will not permit anyone, including End Users, to: (i) engage or participate in communications or conduct of an abusive, pornographic, lewd, obscene, harassing, fraudulent, or unlawful nature while using the Services; (ii) post on the internet, or transmit the voice, image, and/or likeness of any Sorenson employee or contractors in any way for any purpose, or to store, retrieve, use, or facilitate the use of, the voice, image, and/or likeness of the Sorenson employee or contractor in any way other than as necessary to permit the provision of Services; (iii) alter, copy, republish, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Services or Documentation, in whole or in part, or otherwise attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems or networks; (iv) rent, lease, lend, sell, license, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise commercially exploit or make available the Services or Documentation to third parties unless expressly permitted herein; (v) remove any proprietary notices from the Services or Documentation; (vi) use the Services or Documentation in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person or third party, or in any unlawful or injurious manner; (vii) make the Services available to any person other than End Users; (viii) use the Services in any manner that interferes with or disrupts the integrity or performance of the Services and its components; (ix) attempt to decipher, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Services; (x) use the Services to post, transmit, upload, link to, send or store any viruses, malware, Trojan horses, time bombs or other harmful code; (x) bypass or breach any security device or protection used by the Services. In addition, in the event the Service Order limits the usage to a certain number of users, Customer will ensure that the quantity of users will not exceed the quantities set forth in the Service Order.
The following applies to any Services accessed through a Sorenson application that is downloaded from the Apple App Store (the “Third-Party App Store” and the Sorenson application, the “Application”):
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SORENSON OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES OR OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR: (I) ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, COMPENSATORY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, REVENUE, INCOME OR BUSINESS, DATA LOSS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, TECHNOLOGY, RIGHTS OR SERVICES (HOWEVER ARISING AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES); OR (II) ANY LIABILITY THAT EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID TO SORENSON IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
Certain Services may be offered as a beta version (“Beta Version”) of a Service. The fact and existence of any Beta Version will be deemed to be Sorenson Confidential Information under this Agreement. Customer is not required to use any Beta Version and does so at its sole risk. Sorenson may not charge for the Beta Version but reserves the right to charge for subsequent versions, including any potential commercial releases. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Beta Version may contain, in Sorenson’s sole discretion, more or fewer features or different licensing terms than a subsequent commercial release version of the Beta Version. Sorenson reserves the right not to release commercial release versions of the Beta Version. Without limiting any disclaimer of warranty or other limitation stated in this Agreement (or any separate terms and conditions that would otherwise be applicable to such Beta Versions), Customer agrees that Beta Versions are not considered by Sorenson to be suitable for commercial use, and that they may contain errors affecting their proper operation. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT USE OF ANY BETA VERSION MAY EXHIBIT SPORADIC DISRUPTIONS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DISRUPT CUSTOMER’S USE OF ANY SERVICES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SORENSON SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM CUSTOMER’S USE OF ANY BETA VERSION.
