1. Right to Use and Access SaaS Applications
Licensor grants User a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable right for the term of this Agreement to use and access the SaaS Applications solely in connection with User’s business and to upload data and information (“User Content”) in connection with such use. Provided, however, that User is in compliance with payment and other obligations under this Agreement. User may not rent or sublease the SaaS Applications to third-parties.
Users given access to Left Foot Software by Licensor or a Left Foot Software User with rights to administer access are considered Users per this agreement. Users accessing Left Foot Software within a Business Unit (see Section 7) have access to Left Foot Software at the parent Users discretion.
2. Fees and Payment Terms
Licensor agrees to provide User with a subscription to use and access the SaaS Applications with a monthly charge. Licensor and User agree that Licensor may separately bill one or more third parties. Licensor’s fees are available on Licensor’s Web site with additional details at http://www.leftfootsoftware.com/pricing-info.html. Licensor reserves the right to change its fees and will post any fee changes on its Web site at least thirty (30) days prior to their taking effect. Licensor generally charges for Services on a monthly basis, although charges for some Services, including but not limited to Services sourced from third-parties, may be calculated by different methods. For a complete listing of applicable fees, User should review Licensor’s Web site. Sub Account Users may be billed directly.
User will be billed monthly for usage one month in advance. Any payment not received within thirty (30) days of the invoice date will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1 ½ %) per month, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower. If User is delinquent in its payments, Licensor may, upon e-mail or other notice to User, terminate User’s rights to use and access the SaaS Applications. All fees charged by Licensor for SaaS Applications are exclusive of taxes and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future imposed on the transaction, all of which the User will be responsible for, except for taxes based on Licensor’s net income.
3. Availability of SaaS Applications
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the SaaS Applications for twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. User agrees that from time to time SaaS Applications may be inaccessible or inoperable for various reasons, including periodic maintenance procedures or upgrades (“Scheduled Downtime”); network or service malfunctions; and causes beyond the control of Licensor or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Licensor, including the interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks or network congestion or other failures (collectively “Downtime”). Licensor will provide at least forty-eight (48) hours notice to User in the event of any Scheduled Downtime. Licensor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption, inaccessibility and/or inoperability of the SaaS Applications in connection with Downtime, whether scheduled or not.
4. Service Level
In the event that Licensor discovers or is notified by User of the existence of non-Scheduled Downtime, Licensor will take such actions as it considers to be reasonably necessary to determine the source of the problem. If the source of the problem is outside of the control of Licensor, then Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the party/parties responsible and cooperate with the party/parties to resolve such problem as soon as possible. If the source of the problem is within the control of Licensor, then Licensor use will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the problem.
5. Storage and Security
Licensor shall operate and maintain the Service system as described below (“Service System”) in good working order with access restricted to qualified employees and affiliates of, and contractors designated by, Licensor. Licensor shall undertake and perform commercially reasonable measures designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of User’s data and other information stored on the Service System, including firewall protection and maintenance of independent archival and backup copies of information provided by you (“User Content”). User agrees not to use the Saas Application to upload or store illegal or inappropriate content. Licensor shall not be responsible for such content and reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove all such content. Except as otherwise agreed, Licensor will not disclose User Content to third-parties except in response to a subpoena or Court order, to report a criminal offense, or otherwise as may be required by law. Licensor may, however, compile, use and disclose to others aggregated user information derived from User Content, provided that such aggregated information does not include any personally identifiable information pertaining to User or its customers. Licensor may also track User’s use of the Services and track User’s data inputs in order to provide User with information about the SaaS Application features and functionalities which Licensor believes may be useful to User. Licensor may offer services and applications provided by third-parties to User as part of the Services. By subscribing to such third-party services, User agrees to be bound by the terms of service for such third-party services and also agrees that Licensor may disclose User Content to such third-parties. From time to time Licensor may provide Users with offers from third-parties. If User indicates that User wishes to receive such offers, User agrees that Licensor may provide User information and User Content to such third parties in connection with such offers.
6. Service Credits
If Downtime is: (a) due to a problem within the control of Licensor, (b) non-Scheduled Downtime; (c) lasts for a period of at least sixty (60) consecutive minutes; (d) is not resolved within two (2) hours of determining its source; and (e) exceeds eight (8) hours in any calendar month, then User, upon written request to Licensor shall be entitled to a pro rata reduction in fees for such Downtime (“Service Credit”). One Service Credit shall equal one-thirtieth (1/30) of the monthly charge for the particular subscribed applications or functionalities selected by User (“Subscribed Applications”) experiencing Downtime for each eligible twenty-four (24) hour period. The maximum number of Service Credits to be issued by Licensor for any single calendar month shall not exceed seven (7) Service Credits. In order to receive Service Credit(s), User must notify Licensor in writing within seven (7) days from the date that User becomes eligible. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit User’s right to receive Service Credit(s). Service Credit(s) will be reflected in the Licensor invoice in the month following the month during which such Service Credit(s) are issued, unless the Service Credit(s) are due in the final month of a term, in which case the dollar value of the Service Credit(s) will be refunded.
