  1. Definitions

  2. Description

    3. User Account Security

    4. You are solely responsible for tracking and for ensuring the security and confidentiality of all user identifiers and passwords. The Seventh Mind has no liability with respect to any use or misuse of such identifiers or passwords, and any use other than as provided in this Agreement will be considered a breach of this Agreement by you.

  5. Acceptable Use

      12. In the event you violate any of the terms in this section, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, The Seventh Mind will have the right, in its discretion, to immediately suspend your and Authorized Users' use and access to the Service.

  6. Service Period

  7. This Agreement will commence on the Subscription Date and, unless terminated early in accordance with Section 7, continue for the number of days or months or year(s) specified in the Subscription as measured from the Subscription Date (the "Initial Period").

    If you are using a Paying Plan, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal periods of the same duration of the Initial Period (each, a "Renewal Period") unless one party gives notice of termination or non-renewal. The Initial Period and all subsequent Renewal Periods are collectively the "Service Period."

    If you are using the Service under a Free Plan, this Agreement will be deemed 15 days and either party will be free to not renew, or to terminate, this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other.

  8. Payment

    1. Pricing: Unless the parties agree otherwise in a separately executed written agreement for a Paying Plan, all fees including taxes for the Service ("Fees") will be initially based on the pricing published at the Website as of the Subscription Date for the Initial Period. All or certain of the Fees may be calculated on the basis of the number of users in your organization, number of repositories/ locations, number of suppliers, size of documents storage, and duration of data retention.
    2. Authorization for payment: You agree to give The Seventh Mind permission to charge you using that payment method for any services used during the Service Period.
    3. Responsibility for payment: You agree that you are authorized to use the payment method you entered when creating a billing account. You must keep all information in your billing account current.
    4. Billing schedule; no refunds: Payments for all accounts registered to pay via credit card are due the date the invoice is posted on your account. If any payment is not made when due, The Seventh Mind may immediately suspend use and access to the Service. All prepayments, if any, for The Seventh Mind (monthly, yearly, or otherwise) will be deemed fully earned upon payment and are non-refundable.
    5. Pricing changes: Except for automatic increases to adjust for inflation pursuant to Section 6.1, The Seventh Mind will notify you in advance, either through the Service or by email pursuant to Section 15.4, if The Seventh Mind changes Fees that would apply to you in a Renewal Period. If you do not agree to these changes, you must give notice of your intent to not renew the Agreement for such Renewal Period and stop using the Service on or before the effective date of termination. If you fail to give notice of non-renewal, your payment information on file will be charged according to the new Fees thereafter.
    6. Cancellation: If you terminate this Agreement early or if it's terminated early by The Seventh Mind pursuant to Section 7, you will not be obligated to pay the Fees following the effective date of termination. In all other cases, and regardless of whether you and your Authorized Users access or use the Service at the levels reflected in the Subscription or otherwise, you are responsible for paying all Fees through expiration of the Service Period.
    7. Refund: Unless otherwise specified in these Terms or Pricing Agreement, all Subscription Fees are non-refundable. The Seventh Mind does not provide refunds or credits for any partial use or non-use of the Services.
    8. Upgrades and Downgrades. You may upgrade or downgrade between the Plans. You understand that downgrading may cause loss of features or capacity of the Services as available to you before downgrading Your Subscription. The Seventh Mind will not be liable for such loss. When you upgrade or downgrade, the new Subscription Fees become immediately applicable. All discounts earned by the six months plan or by the yearly plan will be canceled for the period used and the adjustment will be on the monthly-basis subscription. Upon upgrade, the new Subscription Fees for the subsisting month would be charged on a prorated basis and shall be payable. Subsequent months will be charged in full according to the new Subscription Fees and any credits will be adjusted appropriately.

  9. Cancellation and Termination

    1. Account Cancellation
    2. It is your responsibility to properly cancel your account with The Seventh Mind. You can cancel your account at any time by going into your account settings.

    3. Upon Cancellation
    4. Any and all rights granted to you with respect to the Service and Technology, and any and all rights granted to The Seventh Mind with respect to your data except as written in Section 11.2, will terminate on the effective date of termination. You agree to return to The Seventh Mind any and all Confidential Information of The Seventh Mind in your possession or control. This Section 7 and Sections 4, 6, and 10-15 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

      The Seventh Mind's only obligation with respect to any electronic information transmitted or received by you or Authorized Users in relation to use of the Service is to promptly delete or destroy any information that is stored in the Service database on the effective date of termination upon your request. You acknowledge that the duration of the retention of such information is determined by the terms of the applicable Free Plan or Paying Plan. In addition, you acknowledge that although information in the Service database will be deleted from its transaction servers, The Seventh Mind may retain such information stored on automatic backup archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under The Seventh Mind's customary procedures and policies. In addition, The Seventh Mind may retain certain information as provided in Section 11.2.

    5. The Seventh Mind May Terminate

    6. The Seventh Mind may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to you if you breach any provisions in the Agreement, in order to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or if you default in the timely payment of any amounts due The Seventh Mind under a Paying Plan.

  10. Service Commitment and Support

  11. Excluding scheduled maintenance windows, The Seventh Mind will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain 99.8% availability of the hosted portion of the Service for each month during the term of this Agreement. The Service will be deemed "available" so long as Authorized Users are able to login to the Service interface and access data.

    If you are under a Paying Plan, The Seventh Mind will provide in-product and help desk support ("Help Desk"). Although no response times are guaranteed, The Seventh Mind will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to such support requests within 24 hours. The Seventh Mind may delegate the performance of certain portions of the Support to third parties, but will remain responsible to you for delivery. In the event any Support is not performed with reasonable skill, care, and diligence, The Seventh Mind will re-perform the Support to the extent necessary to correct the defective performance, and you acknowledge that re-performance will be your sole and exclusive remedy for any defective performance.

    Subject to this Agreement, The Seventh Mind will make the Service available to you and Authorized Users during the Service Period, and The Seventh Mind hereby grants to you, during the Service Period, a nonexclusive, non transferable, limited right to enable Authorized Users to access and use the Service through the interface and the Website, and to access and use The Seventh Mind's technical and operations documentation and Agents (as defined in Section 9) in support solely for your internal, business use.

    You acknowledge that your and each Authorized User's access and use of the Service are subject to The Seventh Mind's Privacy Policy which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The Seventh Mind may delegate the performance of certain portions of the Service to third parties, but will remain responsible to you for delivery. The Seventh Mind may in its discretion modify, enhance, or otherwise change the Service.

  12. Agents; Third-Party Content
  13. The Seventh Mind will make various application program interfaces (APIs), agents, libraries, and other materials available at the Website or through the Service at its discretion to support your access and use of the Service (collectively, "Agents"). You acknowledge and agree that:

    1. The Agents may only be used on systems owned, leased, or primarily operated by you
    2. The Agents are made available solely to support access and use of the Service, and The Seventh Mind has no liability with respect to any other uses of the Agents
    3. Certain of the Agents may include third-party content that is subject to open source license terms that may expand or limit your rights to use such content
    4. You agree to review any electronic documentation that accompanies the Agents or is identified in a link provided to you to determine which portions of the Agents are open source and are licensed under open source license terms. To the extent any such license terms require that The Seventh Mind provide you the rights to copy, modify, distribute, or otherwise use any open source software in the Agents that are inconsistent with the limited rights granted to you in this Agreement, then such rights in the applicable open source license terms will take precedence over the rights and restrictions granted in this Agreement, but solely with respect to such open source software. Further, you acknowledge and agree that all third-party content is governed by its respective terms and such terms are solely between you and the applicable licensor. You agree to comply with such third-party terms (including open source license terms), as applicable, and The Seventh Mind has no liability with respect to third-party content under this Agreement.

  14. Nonuse and Nondisclosure of Confidential Information
    1. Confidentiality
    2. As used in this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means any information that is proprietary or confidential to the Discloser (as defined below) or that the Discloser is obligated to keep confidential (e.g., pursuant to a contractual or other obligation owing to a third party). Confidential Information may be of a technical, business, or other nature. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that:

      1. Was known to the Recipient (as defined below) prior to receiving the same from the Discloser in connection with this Agreement
      2. Is independently developed by the Recipient
      3. Is acquired by the Recipient from another source without restriction as to use or disclosure
      4. Is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault or action of the Recipient
      5. Each party reserves any and all right, title, and interest (including any intellectual property rights) that it may have in or to any Confidential Information that it may disclose to the other party under this Agreement. The party that receives any Confidential Information (the "Recipient") of the other party (the "Discloser") will protect Confidential Information of the Discloser against any Unauthorized Use or disclosure to the same extent that the Recipient protects its own Confidential Information of a similar nature against Unauthorized Use or disclosure, but in no event will use less than a reasonable standard of care to protect such Confidential Information; provided that the Confidential Information of the Discloser is conspicuously marked or otherwise identified as confidential or proprietary upon receipt by the Recipient or the Recipient otherwise knows or has reason to know that the same is Confidential Information of the Discloser. The Recipient will use any Confidential Information of the Discloser solely for the purposes for which the Discloser provides it.

        This section will not be interpreted or construed to prohibit:

        1. Any use or disclosure which is necessary or appropriate in connection with the Recipient's performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties
        2. Any use or disclosure required by applicable law, provided that the Recipient uses reasonable efforts to give the Discloser reasonable advance notice to afford the Discloser an opportunity to intervene and seek an order or other appropriate relief for the protection of its Confidential Information
        3. Any use or disclosure made with the consent of the Discloser.
        4. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Recipient of its obligations under this section, the Discloser will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such obligations. The obligations of confidentiality will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

    3. Pre-Release Program
    4. As set forth in the Non-Disclosure Agreement, you agree that you will not disclose, publish, or otherwise disseminate any Confidential Information to anyone other than individuals who are employees of The Seventh Mind, members of the pre-release program, or as otherwise expressly permitted or agreed to in writing by The Seventh Mind. You further agree to take reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of Confidential Information, including preventing access to or display of the Service to third parties. You agree to use the Confidential Information solely for the permitted uses as set forth in this Agreement. You agree not to use Confidential Information otherwise for your own or any third party's benefit without the prior written approval of an authorized representative of The Seventh Mind in each instance.

  15. Customer Data

    1. Ownership of Data

    2. You retain ownership, right, and responsibility to all text, software, audio, video, images, or other content that you and/or any Authorized User run on or through the Service (collectively "Customer Data"), subject only to the limited rights expressly granted in this Agreement and intellectual property rights. You are solely responsible, and The Seventh Mind assumes no liability for the Customer Data that Authorized Users or other third parties post, send, or otherwise make available over or through the Service.

    3. License Grant to The Seventh Mind

    4. In order to provide and support the Service for your benefit, you hereby grant The Seventh Mind a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license during the Service Period to use, reproduce, electronically distribute, transmit, have transmitted, perform, display, store, and archive Customer Data.

Without limiting the above, Technology includes the products, services, and technology made available through the Website, the Agents, the Service interface, and any The Seventh Mind branded or co-branded websites (including sub-domains, widgets, and mobile versions).

We will have no liability for any failure or delay due to matters beyond our reasonable control.

      These limitations will not apply to damages arising out of a party's failure to comply with its confidentiality obligations, indemnification obligations, or payment obligations to The Seventh Mind. Except for their respective indemnity and confidentiality obligations, in no event will either party, their affiliates, directors, employees, or licensors be liable to the other party or any authorized user for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, or costs in an amount exceeding the fees you paid to The Seventh Mind.

      This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if the non-breaching party has been advised of the possibility of such damage. The above limitations of liability will apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.
