If the Offer has been accepted by the means described herein, the following subscription agreement (the "Agreement") shall be deemed to be executed and shall be governed by the terms and conditions described below, with You, on the one hand, and VS, on the other hand, as parties.
Your acceptance of the Offer and your consent to accept this Agreement is evidenced either by clicking a box indicating such acceptance, or by executing the Service Request Form referenced in this Agreement. Upon such consent, You will have accepted all of the terms set forth herein.
The Agreement is effective between You and Us as of the date on which You signify Your acceptance, on the terms described herein.
This Agreement governs your free trial of the Services (as defined below) for seven (7) days, with the possibility of extension up to a maximum of thirty (30) days, at VS's discretion.
If you purchase our Services, this Agreement shall also govern your purchase and continued use of such Services.
If You are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, You expressly represent that You have sufficient authority to bind such entity to these terms and conditions, in which case the terms "You" or "your" shall refer to such entity. If You do not have such authority, You must refrain from using the Services on behalf of such legal entity.
You must refrain from accessing the Services if You are Our direct competitor, except with Our prior written consent. In addition, You may not access the Services for the purpose of monitoring their availability, performance or functionality or for any other benchmarking or competitive evaluation purposes. You expressly agree to be liable for any damage or harm that You may cause Us in the event of a breach of such obligation to refrain.
All capitalized terms have the meaning given to them in the Contract, in particular clause 14 (Definitions).
1. 7-DAY FREE TRIAL
VS will make one or more Services available to You on a free trial basis until the earlier of (a) the seventh day after the Date of this Agreement or (b) the start date of the purchased Services requested by You. VS may at its sole discretion extend the free trial up to a maximum of 30 days. In addition, VS reserves the right to make additional terms and conditions applicable to the trial period, which may be posted on the trial registration web page, if any. Where applicable, such additional terms and conditions shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement, and shall be legally binding between the parties.
Any data or information ("Data") that You enter into the Services and any customizations made to the Services by or for You during the trial period will be permanently lost unless You purchase a subscription to the same Services contemplated by the trial, purchase upgraded Services, or export such data prior to the end of the trial period. You may not transfer information entered or customizations made during the trial period to a Service that is a downgrade from the one covered by the trial; therefore, if you purchase a Service that is a downgrade from the one covered by the trial, you must export your Data before the end of the trial period or your Data will be permanently lost.
You acknowledge and agree that your registration information entered as part of the Trial Services will be transmitted to Licensor, and will be used by Licensor in accordance with its privacy policy available for viewing on its website.
VS does not accept any liability, nor does it guarantee the availability of your Data entered or customizations made to the system during the trial period.
You are responsible for examining and understanding the Services during the trial period to familiarize yourself with the features and functions of the Services prior to your purchase and based on the information available to you.
2. SERVICES PURCHASED
2.1. Provision of Purchased Services. VS will make the Purchased Services available to You pursuant to this Agreement and any applicable Service Order Forms for a subscription period. You agree that your purchase hereunder is not subject to the delivery of any specific functionality or dependent on any public comments made by Us regarding such functionality.
User Subscriptions. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Service Order Form, (i) the Services are purchased for a specified number of User subscriptions and may be accessed by no more than such specified number of Users; (ii) additional User subscriptions may be added during the subscription period, at the price in effect at the time of the respective subscription, by calculating the price proportionally for the remainder of the annual subscription period in effect on the date on which the additional User subscriptions are added, taking into account that for the calculation of the proportional price, a month is the minimum calculation unit (i.e. the current month must be paid in full regardless of the day on which it is contracted); and (iii) such additional User subscriptions will expire on the same date as the pre-existing subscriptions. User subscriptions are for Users designated by You and may not be shared or used by more than one User, but may be reassigned to new Users to replace previous Users who for any reason stop using the Services.
3. USE OF SERVICES
3.1 Obligations of VS. We will: (i) provide you with basic technical support at no additional cost exclusively by email for Purchased Services, or premium technical support at additional cost if purchased separately; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Purchased Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except: (a) in the event of planned outages, or (b) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Our reasonable control, including (without limitation) acts of God or force majeure, labor issues (such as strikes or acts of vandalism), Internet service provider failures or delays or any other circumstances beyond Our control; and (iii) We will provide the Purchased Services in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

You will (i) be responsible for Users' compliance with this Agreement; (ii) take full responsibility for the accuracy, quality, completeness and legality of your Data and the means by which you acquired the Data; (iii) prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services and notify us immediately if, to your knowledge, such unauthorized access or use occurs; and (iv) use the Services only in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. You will refrain from (a) making the Services available to anyone other than a User; (b) selling, renting or entering into any onerous contract with any third party (other than third party Application providers) that is for the purpose of providing the Services; (c) use the Services to store or transmit defamatory or libelous materials, or for purposes contrary to law, morals or decency, or that violate third party privacy rights; (d) use the Services to store or transmit Malicious Code; (e) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services or third party data therein; and (f) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or their related systems or networks. You acknowledge and agree that VS monitors your use of the Services and accesses your Data and ML User Content (upon verification of identity), whether submitted or hosted within the Third Party Applications or as part of the Services.
3.3. Limitations on Use. The Services may be subject to other limitations such as limits on disk storage space, on the number of calls you are permitted to make to our application programming interface and, in the case of Services that allow you to provide public websites, on the number of page views by visitors to such websites.
4. THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS
4.1. Acquisition of Third Party Products and Services. In conjunction with the Services, VS may offer for sale one or more Third Party Applications, which, if applicable, will be solicited through Service order forms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any solicitation or purchase by You of any third party products or services linked to the Services, including without limitation, Third Party Applications and any implementation, customization and consulting services and any exchange of data between You and another third party provider, including the providers of the Third Party Applications (but excluding the combined VS and Licensor services offered by VS), creates a legal relationship solely between You and the applicable third party provider. VS does not warrant or endorse any third party products or services, whether or not designated by VS as "validated", "certified" or otherwise, except as otherwise specified in a Service Request Form.
4.2. Third Party Applications and Your Data. You acknowledge that we may allow Third Party Application providers to access your Data as necessary for the operation of such Third Party Applications with the Services. We will not be liable for any unauthorized disclosure, modification or deletion of your Data resulting from such access by Third Party Application providers to your Data.
5. FEES AND PAYMENT FOR SERVICES PURCHASED
5.1. Fees. In consideration for the provision of the Services, You will pay the fees specified in the applicable Service Order Forms in accordance with this Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable Service Order Form: (i) fees are quoted and paid in U.S. dollars; (ii) fees are based on the purchase of the Services, regardless of Your actual use of the Services in any billing period; (iii) except in cases of termination as set forth in Section 11.4, payment obligations are firm for the entire annual subscription period; (iv) fees paid are non-refundable; and (v) the number of User subscriptions purchased cannot be decreased during the subscription period, even in the event of rescission, termination, non-payment, non-use or any other situation or conduct on Your part.
Unless otherwise specified in the Service Order Form, subscription fees for Users are based on one (1) year periods, beginning on the subscription start date and ending at the end of each annual subscription period; except that fees for subscriptions added after the commencement of a given annual period will be charged as specified in Section 2.2(ii). Subscription of new Users within a subscription period shall be for periods coincident with such subscription period.
5.2. Billing and Payment. You will provide Us with valid and current credit card information to which the Services will be billed, or alternatively a valid purchase order or other alternative means of payment reasonably acceptable to Us, as specified in the Service Order Form.
If you choose to pay by credit card, you authorize us to charge your credit card for all Services indicated on the Service order form for the initial subscription period and any renewal subscription period as set forth in Section 12.2 (Period of Subscriptions Purchased by You). Charges will be made in advance on an annual basis unless a different billing frequency is agreed upon in the applicable Service order form.
If the Service Order Form specifies that payment will be made by a method other than credit card, billing will still be made in advance, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Service Order Form. Unless the Service request form states otherwise, billed charges will be due on the day of billing and will be debited at any time during the 30 calendar days from the date of the invoice. You agree to keep us updated with respect to any changes and in any event to keep your information at all times complete and accurate for billing and contact information in connection with the Services.
5.3. Past Due Charges. If you are delinquent in the payment of any of the charges billed as of the applicable due date, then at our discretion, We may take one or more of the following actions: (a) call upon you for immediate payment of unpaid amounts, plus penalty interest at the rate of 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is greater, accrued from the date of delinquency until the date of payment; (b) We may condition future subscription renewals and Service Order Forms on payment periods less than those specified in Section 5.2 (Billing and Payment); (c) suspend the provision of the Services as specified in Clause 5.4; and/or (d) terminate the Agreement, in which case we shall be entitled to take appropriate legal or extrajudicial action to pursue collection of any sums due and any applicable damages.
5.4. Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owed by You under this or any other agreement for our services is 10 or more calendar days past due (or in the case of charges that are not payable by credit card, 20 or more calendar days past due), VS may, without limiting other rights and remedies, declare Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements (plus interest thereon) to be immediately due and payable, declare your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements to be past due, so that such obligations (plus any applicable interest) become immediately due and payable upon the expiration of the terms, and suspend Our services until such amounts are paid in full, without any such suspension giving rise to any liability on Our part.
5.5. Payment Disputes. In the case of charges or billing subject to a dispute that in our sole discretion is reasonable, and where You cooperate diligently and act in good faith to resolve the dispute, we agree not to exercise rights under Section 5.3 (Past Due Charges) or 5.4 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) until the dispute is resolved out of court, provided that such dispute has not led to the suspension or termination of the Third Party Applications, in which case we will be forced to exercise our rights under Section 5.4 concurrently with the suspension or termination of such Third Party Applications.
Taxes. Unless otherwise expressly stated, Our rates and charges do not include any taxes, levies, duties, fees or other contributions of any nature, such as value added taxes, sales taxes, use fees or withholding for any taxes (including income tax withholding), imposed by any local, state, provincial, national or federal jurisdiction of any country ("Taxes"). You shall be responsible for the payment of all Taxes related to the Services provided under the terms of this Agreement.
In the event that VS has a legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are liable, then the corresponding amount will be billed to You and paid by You, unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate issued by the appropriate taxing authority and such certificate is accepted by the taxing authority to the effect that VS is not required to make such payment or collection of Taxes.
In addition, in the event that You are responsible for any withholding for any Taxes applicable to Us in any particular jurisdiction, then You shall pay Us an amount in addition to the amounts billed as fees for the Services, so that after deducting the amounts withheld for applicable Taxes, the total payable to Us will equal the fees that would have resulted had such withholding not been applicable.
6. PROPERTY RIGHTS
6.1. Reservation of rights. The use of our Services does not grant any intellectual property rights over our Services or content protected by intellectual property rights to which You access, which correspond in all cases to VS.
