4.  SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

ADS grants you a right to receive the Services subject to this Agreement.

Portions of the Services are located on servers that are controlled by ADS. Customer may access the Services, but has no right to receive a copy of the object code or source code to the Services.

You are responsible for and must have a high speed Internet connection and hardware and software that is compatible with the Services, as set out in the Documentation.

ADS regularly upgrades and updates the Services. This means that the Services are continually evolving. Some of these changes will occur automatically, while others may require you to schedule and implement the changes. The changes may also mean that you need to upgrade your equipment in order to make efficient use of the Services. ADS will provide you with advance notice if this happens, whenever possible.

ADS recognizes that you may have legitimate business reasons for not upgrading to a new version of the Services as soon as the version becomes available. However, ADS will not support old versions indefinitely.  When an old version is obsolete, ADS may remove your access to that version and require you to upgrade to a new version. See Long Term Support for further details.

ADS solely owns the intellectual property in the Services (except for third party components) and the Documentation.

Software license fees do not include fees for other services such as Support (Standard or Premium), Gateway service, Data Hosting or other services not specifically included in your agreement(s).

5.  CONDITIONS OF USE

The Services provided to you are non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as provided in Section 9), and are for your internal business use only. Your right to use the Services is conditional upon the following restrictions. You many not:

1. transfer to any other person any of its rights to use the Services;

The Customer Data hosted or stored by your use of the Services belongs to ADS and Customer makes no claim to any right of ownership in it. Access to the Customer Data by the Customer is contingent on a current and active account for the Services. ADS may collect, share and/or license raw POS UPC/EAN “scan data” with our partners or affiliates.

ADS will keep the Customer Data confidential in accordance with Section 13 of this Agreement.

As a data protection measure, Customer Data stored on ADS server(s) relating to a Software Service (StoreTender) is backed up daily for protection against data loss due to hardware failure. We shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to create and maintain these backups for a 7 day period. The purpose of the backup is to protect the data against ADS hardware failure only and ADS uses a third-party service to perform these backups. ADS ASSUMES NO LIABILITY IF THE CREATION OR RETENTION OF THESE BACKUPS FAIL OR BECOME UNUSABLE.

If you damage, alter or delete your data due to use of any other method made available in the software, ADS shall be entitled to charge you a service fee for the restoration of that data from a backup if you request ADS to do so.

 7.  ADDITIONAL TERMS YOU AGREE TO

ADS does not provide legal, financial, accounting or other professional services or advice. Consult the services of a competent professional when you need this type of assistance.

We may tell you about other ADS services.  You may be offered other services, features, products, applications, online communities, or promotions provided by ADS. If you decide to use any of these ADS services, additional terms and conditions and separate fees may apply. You acknowledge that in accessing some ADS services you may upload or enter data from your account(s) such as names, addresses and phone numbers, purchases, and sales among others, to the Internet.  You grant ADS permission to use information about your business and experience to help us to provide the ADS Services to you, including updating and maintaining your data, addressing errors or service interruptions, and enhancing the types of data and services ADS may provide to you in the future.  You grant ADS permission to combine your business data, if any, with that of others in a way that does not identify you or any individual personally.  We may use this data to improve services and to compare business practices with other industry standards.  We may use your data to create, market or promote new ADS offerings to you and others. You also grant ADS permission to share or publish summary results relating to your data and to distribute or license such data to third parties.

You may be offered products or services by third parties who are affiliated with ADS (“Third Party Products”) or the Services may contain links to third party websites (“Third Party Sites”) and you agree that ADS can use your contact information, including name and address, for the purpose of offering these products to you. If you decide to use any Third Party Products or access any Third Party Sites, you are responsible for reviewing the third party’s separate product terms, website terms and privacy policies. You agree that the third parties, and not ADS, are responsible for their product’s performance and the content on their websites.  ADS does not have ownership of these Third Party Products or Third Party Sites and assumes no liability for them.

If you become aware of any unauthorized access to your Services or account, you agree to contact ADS as soon as possible.  The Services may periodically be updated with tools, utilities, improvements, third party applications, or general updates to improve and enhance the features and performance of the Services. You agree to receive these updates automatically as part of the Services.

8.  PROVISION OF THE SERVICES BY ADS

ADS may, at its sole discretion, improve, enhance, modify or change the Services and Terms at any time. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services may change from time to time without prior notice to you.

ADS may, at its sole discretion, suspend or cease providing the Services at any time. Your sole remedy for any such suspension or cessation of the Services shall be a pro rata refund of any prepayment, if any, that you may have made for future use of the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that ADS may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing certain features within the Services to you with or without prior notice to you. If you wish to discontinue your use of the Services after such a change, you may cancel your account and your access to the Services at any time by submitting a cancellation request on your Account page of the Site. Your sole remedy in the case of a change in features to the Services is to discontinue your subscription to the Services without refund.

ADS may disable your account in the event that timely prepayment for the Services is not received (if you have selected a fee-based level of the Services), if you fail to exclusively and regularly utilize the Services of an ADS preferred credit/debit card transaction processor (in the case of certain free versions of the Services), or if you are otherwise in breach of the Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that if ADS disables access to your account, you may be prevented from accessing the Services, your account information or any other data or other content which is associated with your account, including product description and pricing information, inventory data, and transaction data and reports.

9.  USE OF THE SERVICES BY YOU

You agree to use the Services only for purposes that are permitted by (i) the Agreement and (ii) any applicable law, regulation or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions (including any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from the United States or other relevant countries).

You agree to use the Services only on the number of computers and in only the number of locations permitted by your current subscription licensing level.

You agree that you will not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services (or the servers and networks which are connected to the Services), and that you will only utilize and access the Services using software approved for use in conjunction with the Services by ADS.

You will not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade or resell the Services for any purpose.

You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that ADS has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under the Agreement and for the consequences (including any loss or damage which ADS may suffer) of any such breach.

You hereby grant to ADS a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable right and license to use, for any purpose, any and all data and information submitted to or collected by ADS in connection with your registration for and/or use of the Services, including, but not limited to, product description, product pricing, product inventory, and product sale transaction information and data.

Your continuing use of the Services is contingent upon your prepayment of the ADS current subscription fee for the Services. ADS reserves the right to modify its fees for the Services at any time. You further agree and acknowledge that ADS may, from time to time, add or delete credit/debit card transaction processors from its list of supported vendors, and that any such change may require you enter into a new merchant agreement with a new supported vendor. ADS does not represent or warrant that any supported vendor will be willing to enter into any merchant agreement with you for the processing of credit/debit card transactions. Cancellations fees, if any, or other fees accessed by the processor are the sole responsibility of the Customer and in no way is ADS liable or responsible to pay such fees. Any change to your choice of supported vendor will be provided at no charge to you. However, the “new” supported vendor may be required to pay a Change Fee prior to any changes being made. The status of the vendor (Preferred or supported) determines the amount of the fee, if any. You agree that if you are changing from a Preferred vendor to a supported vendor,  you will allow (and provide information to) the Preferred vendor (or another Preferred vendor, at ADS’ discretion) to provide you with a competitive rate quote to assure that you are receiving the best possible pricing.

You agree that ADS shall not be liable for any taxes or other fees to be paid in accordance with or related to purchases made by you. Customer agrees to take full responsibility for all taxes and fees associated with such products and/or Services sold.

ADS makes no representations, warranties or assurances that the Customer’s equipment will be compatible with the ADS service.  ADS has posted a list of compatible equipment on its Site, for which compatibility was based on information currently available from the equipment manufacturer(s). ADS is not responsible for changes or modifications by manufacturers of their equipment or drivers which render the equipment unusable with ADS Services.

10. TRAINING AND SUPPORT

Unless Customer and ADS enter into a separate agreement, ADS will not provide any training or on-site support to Customer relating to the Software and Services. ADS may provide Customer with (a) commercially reasonable website and email support for the Software and Services during normal business hours; and (b) updates and enhancements for the Software and Services, to the extent that ADS generally makes such updates and enhancements available to Customers without a separate charge.

Monthly or Annual Subscriptions include Standard Support and Updates at no additional cost, during the term of the active subscription.

Lifetime Subscriptions (retired) receive Standard Support and Updates for a period of 1 year from the date of sign-up. Annually thereafter each paid software license will be subject to a mandatory Standard Support and Updates renewal fee. Subscribers are invoiced for these fees approximately 30 days prior to their renewal. The renewal shall be charged to the credit card on file with ADS on the due date. Pricing for these fees varies by product and license type. Pricing is available on our website or you may contact sales@storetenderonline.com and request pricing for your specific product, if not listed. If you are hosting your data on our servers, Lifetime subscriptions also include Data Hosting as part of the Standard Support and Updates service. Older “Purchased” licenses have a separate billing for Data Hosting.

If your Lifetime Subscription Standard Support and Updates fees are due and unpaid, your Standard Support and Updates service may be terminated. Additionally, the software license to use the associated product will be suspended until the fee is paid.

ADS shall not be obligated to provide Support Services to you. The discontinuation of Support under this paragraph shall not be interpreted as a termination or breach of this Agreement.

You acknowledge and agree that ADS owns all legal right, title and interest in and to the Services and the Content, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in the Services and the Content (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world those rights may exist).
