SERVICES
2.1. Right to Access Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, S-Docs Inc. hereby grants to You, during the Trial Period or the Subscription Term, as applicable, a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, worldwide, non-exclusive right to access and use the Services in accordance with any Order Forms and this Agreement. Each Order Form executed hereunder specifies the fees, the number of Users, the Edition and the Subscription Term. You may use Services solely for Your internal business purposes. You are solely responsible for providing, at Your own expense, all network access, including, without limitation, acquiring, installing and maintaining all telecommunications equipment, hardware, software, software licenses and other equipment as may be necessary to connect to, access and use the Services. S-Docs is licensed, not sold, for use. A license confers no title or ownership in this Software Product and should not be construed as a sale of any rights in this Software Product or source code. If, during the term of this Agreement, S-Docs Inc. dissolves, closes its business, or otherwise ceases its operations, S-Docs Inc. shall provide to You access to, and a royalty-free license to, all source code necessary for You to continue to use the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.2. Your Responsibilities. You shall (i) be responsible for Users’ compliance with this Agreement, (ii) be responsible for the accuracy, quality and legality of Your Data and of the means by which You acquired Your Data, (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services, and notify Us promptly of any such unauthorized access or use, and (iv) use the Services only in accordance with the User Guide and applicable laws and government regulations. You shall not (a) make the Services available to anyone other than Users, (b) sell, resell, rent or lease the Services, (c) knowingly or intentionally use the Services to store or transmit infringing, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, or to store or transmit material in violation of third-party privacy rights, (d) knowingly or intentionally use the Services to store or transmit malicious code, (e) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services or third-party data contained therein, or (f) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or their related systems or networks.
2.3. Users. You may access and use the Services up to the maximum number of Users specified on the Order Form. A prerequisite to accessing S-Docs requires that, during the Term, each User is concurrently provisioned with an active Salesforce license that is compatible with our Service. Not all Salesforce license types or Salesforce Editions are compatible with our Service. It is Your responsibility to ensure Your Salesforce users are provisioned correctly with a compatible Salesforce License type. A single S-Docs license cannot be shared between active Salesforce users or in multiple Salesforce Production Orgs. A license to S-Docs may be reassigned from an inactive Salesforce user to an active Salesforce user during the Term without additional costs. A licensed S-Docs User may access and use the Software Product in all Sandboxes that are linked to Your primary Production Org without additional cost. If there are Salesforce users in your Org who are not actively provisioned for S-Docs, those Salesforce users will be restricted from viewing content created by the S-Docs. If You wish to add additional Users during the Subscription Period, You must submit a new executed Order Form for such additional Users. Upon mutual execution of the terms of a new Order Form, S-Docs Inc. shall make Services available to the additional Users on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the executed Order Form. With respect to additional Users: (i) the Term will be coterminous with the preexisting Subscription Period; and (ii) You will be responsible for any additional Fees (as defined below) for the additional Users in full for the month in which the new Order Form is approved by S-Docs Inc. All Users and additional Users must be on the same Edition of the Service, meaning you cannot use S-Docs Free and S-Docs Unlimited in the same Org.
2.4. Usage Limitations. Services may be subject to both internal and external limitations. Internal limitations are controlled by S-Docs Inc., such as, for example, limits on the number of templates You can create, and, for Services that enable You to integrate to other hosted systems, and limits on the ability to integrate to those systems. Any such limitations are specified in the Order Form. External limitations are imposed by parties outside the control of S-Docs Inc. and may impact the Service. Examples of such external limitations include but are not limited to Salesforce Execution Governors and Limits, which are set forth at https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_gov_limits.htm. External limitations are subject to change without notice from S-Docs Inc. and You accept that they may negatively impact the Service. S-Docs provides a list of currently known limitations at http://www.sdocs.com/limitations. These limitations may change at Our sole discretion at any time.
2.5. Editions. All Users and any subsequent additional Users in Your Salesforce Org must be on the same Edition. Purchased Subscriptions will not be subject to any feature changes during the Subscription Term, unless You, at Your discretion, choose to install a new version (“Release”) of the Software Product. By installing a Release, You agree to be subject to the feature changes and/or new limitations of that Edition at the time of install. Downgrading between Editions is not possible at any time. “S-Docs Free” is offered during a Trial Period that may be withdrawn or changed by S-Docs Inc. at any time without notification.
2.6. Support. Support services provided by S-Docs Inc. in connection with the Services under this Agreement are incorporated by reference as set forth at either http://www.sdocs.com/standardsupport OR only in such cases where “Premier Support” is indicated on the Order Form at http://www.sdocs.com/premiersupport. S-Docs Inc. reserves the right to modify the support services in its reasonable discretion from time to time, which modifications shall become effective upon posting to the above URL(s).
2.7. Upgrades. Services upgrades and bug-fixes (collectively, “Modifications”) from S-Docs Inc., shall be considered a part of the Services and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Order Forms. Pursuant to the Support Plan, S-Docs Inc., may require You to upgrade to the latest Release of the Software Product to resolve an issue. S-Docs Inc. makes no promise on future upgrade availability, suitability or backward compatibility. S-Docs Inc. shall not have any obligation to provide maintenance, support, updates, enhancements or modifications thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, S-Docs Inc. may make an upgraded version of the Software Product available during the Term, and You are entitled to test and use such upgrades of the Software Product at Your discretion and risk without incurring any additional licensing costs. You accept and assume any and all risks associated with any upgrades including but not limited to interoperability and compatibility.
FEES AND PAYMENT FOR PURCHASED SERVICES
3.1 Fees. You shall pay all Fees specified in any applicable Order Forms hereunder. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, (i) Fees are based on Services purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are noncancelable and Fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) the number of User subscriptions purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term stated on the Order Form. User subscription Fees are based on monthly periods that begin on the subscription start date and each monthly anniversary thereof; therefore, Fees for User subscriptions added in the middle of a monthly period will be charged for that full monthly period and the monthly periods remaining in the Subscription Term. All Fees will be billed in advance on an annual basis and are due within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice, unless otherwise agreed to in the Order Form. There is no charge for the use of the Services during the Trial Period.
3.2. Invoicing and Payment. You shall provide S-Docs Inc. complete, accurate and up-to-date billing and contact information at all times. Unless otherwise specified on the Order Form, You will provide Us with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Us. If You provide credit card information to Us, You authorize Us to charge such credit card for all Services listed in the Order Form for the initial Subscription Term and any renewal Subscription Term(s) as set forth in Section 4.2 (Term of Purchased User Subscriptions). Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, We will invoice You in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced charges are due within 30 days from the invoice date.
3.3. Overdue Charges. If any charges are not received from You by the due date, then at Our discretion, (a) such charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid, and/or (b) We may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in Section 3.2 (Invoicing and Payment). You shall reimburse S-Docs Inc. for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by S-Docs Inc. to collect any amount that is not paid when due.
3.4. Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by You under this or any other agreement for Our Services is thirty (30) or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts You have authorized Us to charge to Your credit card), We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Our Services to You until such amounts are paid in full. We will give You at least 7 days prior notice that Your account is overdue, in accordance with Section 10.2 (Manner of Giving Notice), before suspending Services to You.
3.5. Payment Disputes. We shall not exercise Our rights under Section 3.3 (Overdue Charges) or 3.4 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) if You are disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
3.6. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Our Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder. If We have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by You, unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, We are solely responsible for taxes accessible against Us based on Our income, property and employees.
3.7. Future Functionality. You agree that Your purchase is based solely on existing features and functionality and not contingent on delivery of any future features or functionality even in the case where We have made oral or written comments regarding future features or functionality.
TERM AND TERMINATION
4.1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement commences on the date You sign below and continues until all User subscriptions granted in accordance with this Agreement have expired or been terminated. If You elect to use the Services for a free Trial Period and do not purchase a subscription before the end of that period, this Agreement will terminate at the end of the free Trial Period. The Trial Period may be terminated by S-Docs Inc. at any time without the consent of or notification to You.
4.2. Term of Purchased User Subscriptions. User subscriptions purchased by You in an Order Form will commence on the start date specified in the applicable Order Form and shall continue for the period set forth therein (in each case a “Subscription Term”). Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, all User subscriptions shall automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring Subscription Term or one year (whichever is shorter), unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the relevant Subscription Term. The per-unit pricing during any renewal term will increase by up to 7% above the applicable pricing in the prior term, unless We provide You notice of different pricing at least 60 days prior to the applicable renewal term. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Order Form, renewal of promotional or one-time priced subscriptions will be at Our applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume for any Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.
4.3. Termination. A party may terminate this Agreement for cause: (i) upon 30 days written notice to the other party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period, or (ii) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.
4.4. Refund or Payment upon Termination. Upon any termination for cause by You, We shall refund You any prepaid Fees covering the remainder of the Term of all subscriptions under the applicable Order Form(s) after the effective date of termination. Upon any termination for cause by Us, You shall pay any unpaid Fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term of the applicable Order Form(s) after the effective date of termination. In no event shall any termination relieve You of the obligation to pay any Fees payable to Us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
