Axcient DRaaS Terms and Conditions of Use

  1. Applicability, Subscription, etc.

1.1

Axcient is incorporated under the laws of Georgia. Axcient has developed certain cloud services, including proprietary software, consisting of a number of applications and services, including data back-up, as further described here (the “Services”), which are made available online at Axcient’s site (the “Site”). This document contains the terms and conditions for the use of the Services (the “Conditions”) that will apply and form a binding agreement between Axcient and its customers using the Services (each, a “Customer”) when accepted in connection with the online subscription process for the Services.

1.2

If a customer has purchased a subscription to the Services from an authorized reseller which has been granted the right to market and sell subscriptions to the Services in its own name and for its own account (a “Reseller”), Axcient provides the Services to that customer subject to these Conditions as a subcontractor to the Reseller. These Conditions, supplemented by the Reseller Customer Addition, shall therefore apply in relation to such customers (each, also deemed as a “Customer” hereunder but also specifically referred to as a “Reseller Customer”) when confirmed in connection with the online registration process of the subscription of the Services. The Reseller Customer Addition (as may be amended from time to time in accordance herewith) shall be deemed to be an integral part of these Conditions as regards a Reseller Customer and in case of conflict between a provision in the Reseller Customer Addition and a provision elsewhere in these Conditions, the provision in the Reseller Customer Addition shall prevail.

1.3

The Services has been developed for organizations (being Customers) which uses (or is about to use) one or more third party cloud computing (or similar) services (“Third Party Services” or “TPS”), at which one or more user accounts (“TPS Accounts”) by the Customer and/or its personnel and other officers.

1.4

In order to use and access the Services (or part thereof) the Customer must have an active subscription for the Services (a “Subscription”). A Subscription may be established and activated online on the Site here. Upon the establishment or registration of a Subscription, the person(s) acting on behalf of the Customer (being an organization) represents that he/she/they have the authority to enter into these Conditions on behalf of that organization. Axcient reserves the right to forthwith cancel any Subscription and/or stop the Services where supporting documentation of the above authority cannot be presented upon request.

1.5

Each time the Customer (through its personnel or otherwise via its Subscription) access the Site and/or uses the Services, the Customer is agreeing to be bound by these Conditions. If the Customer at any time does not agree to any part of these Conditions, Axcient is unwilling to grant any access to the Site or Services, and the Customer must cease access to the Services immediately and notify Axcient thereof.

  1. Users, Administration and Credentials

2.1

Axcient has designed the Services to meet the needs of corporations, governmental bodies and other organizations which use Third Party Services. Use of the Services on a consumer basis is not permitted. A visitor may browse the Site but will not have access to the Services without first becoming a subscriber and, thus, a Customer.

2.2

Upon the establishment of a Subscription an administrator user name and password is generated (“Admin Credentials”). By logging in on the Site with such Admin Credentials, the Customer can, inter alia, create and administer one or more user accounts for its personnel and/or others (each, a “Customer User Account”), each with a unique user name and password (“User Credentials”). Admin Credentials and User Credentials are jointly referred to as “Credentials”. The Admin Credentials also allows the Customer to connect and disconnect certain by Axcient pre-designated TPS and sometimes also related TPS Accounts to the Services subscribed for. User Credentials may also allow the individual user to connect and disconnect its individual TPS Accounts.

2.3

The Credentials are used to authenticate the user on the Site and thereby getting access to the agreed Services, including any Customer data stored as part of the Services. The Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the Credentials and may not transfer or share the Credentials with any third parties.

2.4

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Axcient may rely on the Credentials as the sole test to control whether users accessing the Site and using the Services on the Customers behalf are authorized to do so. The Customer is further fully liable for any act or omission of any users that access the Site and/or uses the Services with the Credentials (each, a “User”). It is further acknowledged and agreed that, as between a User and the Customer, Axcient will consider the Customer as the sole owner of all data stored as part of the Services.

2.5

While Axcient provides the tools, the Customer decides in its sole discretion and controls completely (through the Credentials) which TPS and TPS Accounts to connect to the Services. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Axcient is not the supplier of TPS or TPS Accounts and Axcient does not have, nor does it take on, any responsibility whatsoever for such third party services or any content or data originating from such services or TPS Accounts.

  1. Axcient’s obligations

3.1

Axcient undertakes during the term of the Subscription and in accordance with these Conditions provide the agreed Services to the Customer, subject, however, to modifications made pursuant to section 12.2 below.

3.2

Axcient shall, at its own expense, update and upgrade its proprietary software and other solutions contained in the Services to the extent Axcient deems necessary for the proper performance of the Services. eFoler intends to communicate any such updates and upgrades with the Customer together with the anticipated downtime of the Site or access or functionality of the Services (or part thereof).

3.3

Axcient reserves the right to engage sub-contractors and other intermediates to perform its obligations hereunder. Axcient is responsible for the performance of such intermediates as if they were conducted by Axcient under these Conditions, unless otherwise explicitly stated.

  1. Privacy and Security

4.1

Axcient acknowledges that privacy is of importance. For this purpose, Axcient has adopted a privacy policy (Axcientwww.wpengine.com/privacy) that describes Axcient’s collection, use and disclosure practices regarding any personal data that is provided or otherwise made available to Axcient. This privacy policy (as may be amended from time to time) shall be deemed to be an integral part of these Conditions.

4.2

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services consists of, so called, cloud services involving, for example, processing, processor power, storage and functions as services over the Internet. Thus, the use of the Services will include the storage and processing of personal data that may be subject to mandatory legislation, such as the legislation based on EU Directive 95/46/EC which aims to prevent the violation of personal integrity in the processing of personal data (collectively, the “Personal Data Act”). For this purpose, the Customer will always be considered as the controller of personal data even if the processing is carried out by Axcient or its sub-contractors. Axcient and all of its sub-contractors engaged for the storage and other processing are considered as the Customer’s data processors (personal data assistants) and it is the Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that such processing of personal data is in compliance with the Personal Data Act and other applicable legislation.

4.3

The Customer shall promptly notify Axcient if its processing of personal data is subject to legislation which is not based on EU Directive 95/46/EC (as amended). If a provision under any such applicable Personal Data Act or other legislation would confer responsibility or liability directly on Axcient to ensure compliance with such legislation (or part thereof) regardless of section 4.2 above, Axcient is unwilling to grant any access to the Site or Services and the Customer must cease access to the Services immediately and notify Axcient thereof.

4.4

Axcient acknowledges further that the security of the personal data and other data belonging to the Customer is of importance. Axcient will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of the Customer’s data in compliance with the Personal Data Act. However, no password-protected system of data storage and retrieval can be made entirely impenetrable and the Customer therefore acknowledges and agrees that the Site and the Services are not invulnerable to all security breaches or immune from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.

  1. Customer Data, back-up Service and certain use of information

5.1

Axcient does not claim any ownership to any of the files and other information that the Customer (or its Users) provides to Axcient (or any of its sub-contractors) when using the Services (“Customer Data”). The Customer retains the full ownership to the Customer Data.

5.2

Axcient will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to save a copy of the data and other files that exist and is accessed on Third Party Services that the Customer via its Admin Credentials or otherwise duly designate for back-up (the “Backed-up Data”) for storage as part of the Services. Upon such designation for back-up, the Customer authorizes Axcient to act on the Customer’s behalf to access and interact with the websites and servers from which a copy is to be collected (each, a “Backed-up Site”) and further, on an continuous basis, to poll the API of the Backed-up Site for changes or additions and periodically re-save a copy of a modified file or create a copy of a newly designated file. Where possible Axcient will use the unique authorization code for Axcient (a “Token”) provided by the Backed-up Site to access and interact with a Backed-up Site. However, where no usable Token is provided, the Customer may be required to provide Axcient with its user name and password for the Backed-up Site in order for Axcient to be able to provide the back-up Service. Axcient will not use such user name and password for any other purpose than to perform the obligations hereunder and to provide the Services. The Customer is at any time free to disconnect a Backed-up Site from back-up Service.

5.3

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Axcient’s ability to provide the back- up Service is dependent on the necessary access to the Backed-up Site and, should such access, for whatever reason outside Axcient’s direct control (such as a change in the system or terms and conditions of the TPS which no longer allows the necessary access), be removed or limited Axcient cannot guarantee that that the back-up Service will include the necessary connection to such Backed-up Site or otherwise perform as intended. Consequently, the Backed-up Data may not be restorable if copying of the selected or changed files has been completed if the password on a Backed-up Site is changed or otherwise restrict Axcient’s access to such site, or if the Subscription expires or terminates.

5.4

The Customer grants Axcient a license to use, reproduce, access, view, modify, reformat, translate and transfer the Customer Data, including the Backed-up Data, solely and to the limited extent necessary to perform the obligations hereunder and to provide the Services.

5.5

Axcient does not normally review, inspect, edit or monitor any Customer Data (including Backed-up Data). However, Axcient reserves the right to examine the content of and to refuse, remove or disable access to the Customer Data if it believes, in its sole discretion, that a Subscription (wholly or partially) is being used for storage and/or distribution of any illegal data or material such as copyrighted content or otherwise may violate these Conditions. Axcient reserves the right to disclose such Customer Data to the TPS or Backed-up Site to the extent required under their terms and conditions or as otherwise may be required under mandatory law.

5.6

The Services may provide the Customer with functionality through the automated information service which, inter alia, makes it possible to monitor and extract information from the Customer Data which can be of sensitive nature and which can be used for purposes which may be prohibited or restricted under certain jurisdictions or by contract (e.g. to discredit or otherwise use as evidence against a person or organization). The Customer acknowledges and agrees that any such use of the Services under its Subscription are made on the sole responsibility of the Customer and further confirms that any such use is fully permitted under applicable legislation or contract.

These Conditions and the relationship between the Customer and Axcient will be governed by the laws of the United States and Georgia, without giving effect to any choice of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country or state.

17.2

Subject to section 17.3 below, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with these Conditions, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, (a “Dispute”) shall be settled by a court of general jurisdiction where Axcient has its corporate domicile. For this purpose, each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the court referred to above and any appellate court thereof and, further, agrees that a final judgment shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

17.3

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the Customer has its corporate domicile in a country without any established legislation in force which allows for the enforcement of judgments rendered in a country where Axcient has its corporate domicile, the Dispute shall instead be referred to and finally settled by arbitration administered by an accredited arbitrator of Axcient’s choosing. The Rules for Expedited Arbitrations shall apply, unless the arbitrator in its discretion determines, taking into account the complexity of the case, the amount in dispute and other circumstances, that the Arbitration Rules shall apply. In the latter case, the arbitrator shall also decide whether the Arbitral Tribunal shall be composed of one or three arbitrators. The seat of arbitration shall be Atlanta, Georgia and the language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.

17.4

Notwithstanding sections 17.2 and 17.3 above, in the event of default in payment of any fee pursuant to section 7 above, Axcient reserves the right to enforce its rights to collect the missing payment in any court or relevant authority in the country of the Customer. Additionally, notwithstanding section 17.2 and 17.3, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before any relevant court in order to maintain the status quo pending the court’s or the SCC’s ruling pursuant to sections 17.2 and 17.3 (as the case may be), and hereby agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of sections 17.2 and 17.3.
