1. Your relationship with Rulevolution

1.1 Your use of Rulevolution products, software, services and web sites (referred to collectively as the "Services") is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Rulevolution (these "Terms"). These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Rulevolution in relation to your use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully.

2. Accepting the Terms

2.1 To use the Services, you must first agree to the Terms. You accept the Terms by either clicking or tapping on a button indicating your acceptance, by executing a document that references them, or by using any of the Rulevolution Services.

2.2 By accepting these Terms, you represent that you have the legal power to do so. If you will be using the Services on behalf of an organization, (a) "you" and "your" will refer to that organization, (b) you agree to these Terms on behalf of that organization and you represent that you have the authority to do so, and (c) you shall be responsible for ensuring that each of your end users complies with the terms, conditions and obligations in these Terms.

2.3 You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if you are barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.  If you represent an organization, you will ensure that: (a) your end users do not use the Services in violation of any export restriction or embargo, and (b) you do not provide access to the Services to persons or entities on any restricted lists.

2.4 If you are under 18 years old, you may not create a Rulevolution account or use the Services unless (a) you have received access to the Services through your School, or (b) your legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms. If you are a parent or legal guardian permitting a person under 18 years of age (a "Minor") to create an account and/or use the Services, you agree to: (i) supervise the Minor's use of the Services and their account; (ii) assume all risks associated with, and liabilities resulting from, the Minor's use of the Services and their account; (iii) ensure that the content on the Site is suitable for the Minor; (iv) ensure all information submitted to us by the Minor is accurate; and (v) provide the consents, representations and warranties contained in the Terms on the Minor's behalf.

3. Provision of the Services by Rulevolution

3.1 Rulevolution gives you a limited, worldwide, non-assignable and non-exclusive right to access and use the Services, including the software provided as part of the Services (referred to as the "Software") during the term hereof, solely in connection with your internal business operations and subject to these Terms.

3.2 You may not assign or grant a sub-license of your rights to use the Software, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the Software, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights to use the Software.

4. Your Use of the Services

4.1 In order to register for and access certain Services, you will be required to provide information about yourself. You agree that any registration information you give to Rulevolution, including contact information (e.g., e-mail address) and billing/payment details, will be accurate and kept current.  Accounts are controlled by the entity whose email address is registered with the account.

4.2 You agree to use the Services only for purposes that are permitted by (a) the Terms and (b) any applicable law, regulation or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions.

4.3 You are responsible for your conduct, Content, and communications with others while using the Services. In addition to restrictions found elsewhere in these Terms, you agree not to:

(a) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Software or any part thereof, unless expressly permitted;

(b) access all or any part of the Services in order to build a product or service which competes with the Software or Services;

(c) license, sell, trade, resell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, display, disclose, or otherwise commercially exploit, or otherwise make the Software or Services available to any third party except the licensed users;

(d) access or attempt to access any of the Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Supplier, including through any automated means (i.e., use of scripts or web crawlers);

(e) access, store, distribute or transmit any Viruses during the course of your use of the Services or engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services or the servers and networks which are connected to the Services;

(f) engage in abusive or excessive usage of the Services, which is defined as usage significantly in excess of average usage patterns that adversely affects the speed, responsiveness, stability, availability, or functionality of the Services for other users, all as determined at Rulevolution's own discretion;

(g) use the Services to infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Without limiting the foregoing, you will not use any trade mark, service mark, trade name, or logo of any company or organization in a way that is likely or intended to cause confusion about the owner or authorized user of such marks, names or logos; or

(h) access, store, distribute or transmit any material during the course of using the Services that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, discriminatory, hateful, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, related to illegal activity, or otherwise objectionable.

4.4 We do not assume any responsibility for special processing or handling of data that might be considered "sensitive" or otherwise regulated by law. You specifically consent to our processing of data that you upload to the Service with no special handling. You agree that you will not, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to make sure a third party does not, use the Services to store or transfer any data that is controlled for export under any export or re-export control law or regulation, or is otherwise subject by law to special processing restrictions (for example, privacy, financial services, and health information laws and regulations).  If your use of the Services requires you to comply with industry-specific regulations applicable to such use, you will be solely responsible for such compliance and you may not use the Services in a way that would subject Rulevolution to those industry-specific regulations without obtaining Rulevolution's prior written agreement.

4.5 Rulevolution reserves the right in its sole discretion to decide whether your conduct is inappropriate and whether it complies with these Terms.

4.6 Rulevolution may disable or terminate your access for any conduct in violation of these Terms and remove any objectionable Content, without prior notice and at Rulevolution's sole discretion.  You acknowledge and agree that if Rulevolution disables access to your account, you may be prevented from accessing the Services, your account details, or any files or other Content contained in your account.

4.7 You acknowledge and agree that while Rulevolution may not currently have a fixed limit on the number of transmissions you may send or receive through the Services or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of any Service, such limits may be set at any time, at Rulevolution's discretion.

5. Your Content

5.1. In the course of using the Services, you may submit to or create content in the Services (your "Content").  Other than as described in Section 6.1, you retain ownership of all of your intellectual property rights in your Content.

5.2 You grant Rulevolution a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, make publicly available, and otherwise exploit your Content for the purposes of providing the Services, including technical support and account management services, to you and as otherwise permitted by our Privacy Policy.  This limited license continues even after you stop using the Services, with respect to aggregate and de-identified data derived from your use of the Services. The limited license also extends to any trusted third parties Rulevolution works with to the extent necessary to provide the Services to you.

5.3 You understand that Rulevolution, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to users, may (a) transmit or distribute your Content over various public networks and in various media; and (b) make changes to your Content as are necessary to conform and adapt that Content to the technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, services or media. You agree that this license shall permit Rulevolution to take these actions.

5.4 If you believe that Rulevolution, or any user of the Services, has violated a copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right you claim in your work, please contact us legal@rulevolution.com.

6. Multi-User Accounts

6.1 When you create Content under an individual plan, that Content is available only to you and other Rulevolution users with whom you share the Content. However, if you are or become an individual user managed under a multi-user subscription plan maintained by your employer or other third party (a "Multi-User Plan"), any Content you have created or will create will be subject to control by the account administrators, and is no longer "your Content" for purposes of this Agreement. Account administrators under a Multi-User Plan can designate other users under that Multi-User Plan as owners of the Content you originally created, in which case you may no longer be able to access the Content and may lose any copyright or other rights you held in the Content. In addition, the account administrator of such Multi-User Plan may remove you from the account or close your account without your prior consent.  If you have questions about Multi-User Plans, please contact us at Sales@Rulevolution.com.

6.2.  You acknowledge and agree that if you are a registered Rulevolution user, and the domain of the primary email address associated with your Rulevolution account is owned by an organization, and an authorized representative of that organization wishes to establish a Multi-User Plan and add you to it, then certain information concerning your individual account may become accessible to that organization's administrator, including your name and email address, and your Rulevolution account may be added to the Multi-User Plan without your prior consent.  In addition, you acknowledge and agree that if you are or become a registered user that is part of a Multi-User Plan your account information and data will be shared with the primary administrator(s) of the account and your data may also be visible to other users in the account.

6.3. If you are the representative of an entity with Multi-User Plan, you represent and warrant that the entity (a) owns the e-mail domain(s) that it intends to lock down (force new registrations through the Multi-User Plan process) and/or consolidate (move into the Multi-User Plan) pursuant to the Multi-User Plan features of the Services and (b) owns the content that has been created by users with accounts set up with such e-mail domains.  You will appoint an appropriate administrator to manage the user subscriptions and will be solely responsible for such administrator's acts and omissions with respect to the Services.

7. Indemnification

7.1 You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Rulevolution, its resellers, partners, officers, directors, agents, affiliates, and licensors ("the Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any third-party claim or liability arising out of (a) any Content you submit, share, upload, post or display on or to the Services; (b) any use by Rulevolution end users of your Content; (c) any breach of or noncompliance with any representation, warranty or obligation in these Terms; (d) any claim that your Content violates any applicable law or infringes the rights of a third party; and (e) your violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation. You shall cooperate fully in the defence of any claim. Rulevolution reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. You acknowledge that damages for improper use of the Services may be irreparable; therefore, Rulevolution is entitled to seek equitable relief, including an injunction and/or preliminary injunction, in addition to all other remedies.

8. Billing, Payment and Renewal

8.1 If you select paid level of the Services (a "paid account"), you may choose to subscribe and pay for the Services on either a monthly or annual basis and Rulevolution will bill the account administrator in advance for use of the Services. You may choose to discontinue your paid account at any time; however, Rulevolution does not issue refunds for unused subscription periods, except as provided in these Terms or when required by law.

8.2 Current pricing for monthly and annual paid accounts are published on the Rulevolution web site. Rulevolution reserves the right to modify pricing at any time; provided, however, that Rulevolution will notify the account administrator of a paid account by email prior to any monthly or annual price increase affecting that account. If you upgrade to a higher paid level or tier of paid account, Rulevolution will credit any remaining balance from your previous subscription payment to your new level or tier.

8.3 All payments due are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated on the subscription pricing page or invoice.  Credit card, debit card or other non-invoice forms of payment are due at the beginning of the month for which Services will be provided to you. Rulevolution will charge you for all fees when due. Such fees are considered delinquent if not received at the start of each service month or year. Rulevolution may enable other forms of payment in the account administration and payments page, which may be subject to additional terms. Payments for invoices are due ten days after the invoice date, unless otherwise specified, and are considered delinquent thereafter.

8.4 Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each annual or monthly billing cycle. If you wish to change your subscription level or term or cancel your auto-renewal term, please contact our renewal team at subscriptions@rulevolution.com.

8.5 Delinquent payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law) from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Rulevolution in collecting delinquent amounts.  If delinquent fees are not paid, Rulevolution will automatically downgrade your account to a free Rulevolution account and/or suspend or terminate your use of the Services.  Downgrading your account may cause the loss of content, features, functionality, or capacity of your account.

8.6 You are responsible for any taxes, duties, and customs fees associated with the sale of the Services (other than Rulevolution's income tax) (collectively "Taxes"), and you will pay Rulevolution for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If Rulevolution is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to you, unless you provide Rulevolution with a valid tax exemption certificate. If you are required by law to withhold any Taxes from your payments to Rulevolution, you must provide Rulevolution with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such payments.

8.7 If you are provided access to the Services at no charge, you acknowledge that (a) the version available to you may not include or allow access to all features and functionality available to paid subscribers, and (b) the Services are made available to Customer on an "as is" basis without any warranty, support, maintenance, or other obligation of any kind.

9. Account management and security

9.1 You agree and understand that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with any account you use to access the Services.  Accordingly, you agree that you will be solely responsible to Rulevolution for all activities that occur under your account.  If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or account, you agree to notify Rulevolution immediately at security@rulevolution.com.
