Please read these TOS carefully as they contain the legal terms and conditions that govern your use of, and access to, the Service. By establishing an Account (as defined below in Article 1.4) or by using the Service you are agreeing to these TOS.

ARTICLE 1. SERVICE AND RESTRICTIONS

1.1 Provision of Service. Subject to these TOS, mabl shall make the Service available to you during the Term (as defined in Article 6.1) solely for your internal business operations on a nonexclusive, and nontransferable basis. mabl may host the Service using its own infrastructure or it may engage a third party to host the Service, in whole or in part, on its behalf. mabl reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service with or without notice. 

1.2 Access and Transmission of Data. A high-speed Internet connection is required for proper access to, and transmission of data via, the Service. You are responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections that connect your network to the Service. mabl assumes no responsibility for the reliability or performance of any such connections. You understand that the technical processing and transmission of electronic communications is fundamentally necessary for use of the Service and that that these communications may be transferred unencrypted over a network and the Internet. mabl is not responsible for any compromise, degradation, interception, monitoring or any other loss or unauthorized access of data transmitted across computer networks or tele-communications facilities including the Internet.

1.3 Privacy Matters. To access and use the Service you and your Authorized Users must each access your Account for which Personal Data (as defined below in this Article) is required. You shall provide mabl with any Personal Data and assistance required for mabl to activate and operate the Service for you and your Authorized Users pursuant to these TOS. You shall ensure that all Personal Data is accurate and correct at all times during the Term. mabl reserves the right to disable an Account with a profile which it believes in its sole discretion is false or misleading. Mabl shall only use your Personal Data in accordance with the terms set forth in its Privacy Policy and applicable law. mabl’s Privacy Policy, available at www.mabl.com/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”), as may be updated from time to time, is hereby incorporated into these TOS, and you hereby agree to the collection, use, and disclosure practices set forth therein in connection with your use of the Service. “Personal Data” means identifying information relating to you or an Authorized User, such as name or email address, furnished by you or Authorized Users in connection with access and use of the Service. You acknowledge and agree that except for Personal Data furnished by you or your Authorized Users solely to access and use the Service, the Service is not intended for use by you or any Authorized User to transfer, process, use or store information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, and you agree not to use the Service for such purpose. You further represent and agree that you shall not include in Personal Data or Data (as defined in Article 5.4) any “sensitive personal information” such as driver's license, Social Security or financial account numbers; payment card cardholder data; protected health information; or any other such information that: (i) must be protected in accordance with specific or heightened security requirements imposed by applicable state, federal or international law or regulation, or industry standards; or (ii) would require notification to government agencies, individuals or law enforcement if subject to unauthorized access, use or disclosure; or (iii) reveals racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, sex orientation or activities, or genetic or biometric data.

We use a variety of administrative, physical and technical safeguards and procedures to help protect such data from accidental loss, and unauthorized access, use or disclosure including encrypting all transmissions of Data and Personal Data using secure socket layer technology. Further, in order to use the Service we require you to first complete a registration to establish an account (“Account”), and access to your Account is restricted to only those employees or contractors that you add to your Account as authorized users (“Authorized Users”). To use the Service, you or your Authorized Users must first enter both an email and password to log into your Account. However, despite the foregoing measures, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) no security measures are 100% effective, and that mabl cannot guarantee that Account credentials and other information will not be intercepted when transmitted over the internet; (b) you are solely responsible for any activity of Authorized Users and unauthorized users using your Account credentials to access or use the Service; and (c) subject to mabl's compliance with the terms of this Article and its Privacy Policy, you are solely responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality of all  Data and Personal Data. 

1.5 Accounts. You and all Authorized Users shall protect the confidentiality of all Account information, including names and passwords to prevent unauthorized access or use of the Service. If the security of your or an Authorized User’s login information is breached, you shall immediately reset your or the Authorized User’s login information. You shall immediately notify mabl in the event that you or an Authorized User becomes aware of any unauthorized access to any security credentials, or other Personal Data or Confidential Information, or any violation of the terms of these TOS. You shall ensure that Authorized Users are aware of the foregoing, and shall be liable for any breach of these TOS by an Authorized User. Without limiting the foregoing, you represent and agree that (i) you have all rights in Data and Personal Data required for the parties to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement including having provided all applicable notices, and received all applicable consents; and (ii) you shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the use of Data and Personal Data that you or Authorized Users post, send or otherwise make available using the Service complies with all applicable laws and any other applicable legal or contractual restrictions.

ARTICLE 2. FEES, AND BILLING AND PAYMENT

2.1 Fees. You shall pay mabl for use of the Service in accordance with mabl’s then current published rates, terms and policies available at www.mabl.com/pricing, which are incorporated by reference into these TOS.

2.2 Taxes. Fees do not include any local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies or duties of any nature, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes ("Taxes"). You are responsible for paying all Taxes other than any taxes on mabl’s income.  If mabl has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which you are responsible under this Article, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by you unless you provide mabl with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. 

2.3 Billing and Payment. mabl will invoice you monthly or annually during the Term for the amount of the subscription fee incurred by you in the previous month for use of the Service as determined under the then applicable pricing for the Service. You agree to pay all amounts due in U.S. dollars within fifteen (15) days of the date of the applicable invoice, except for amounts reasonably and in good faith disputed; provided that you notify mabl of any such dispute in writing prior to the date such amounts would otherwise be due, and that you cooperate with mabl to promptly resolve such dispute. Invoices may be paid either by Electronic Fund Transfer (“EFT”) methods then currently supported by mabl, or check. mabl uses a third-party to process applicable EFT payments. The first time you pay for the Service by EFT, you are (i) authorizing mabl and its third party payment processors to process such payment, and any future payments, as electronic drafts from your designated account (in the case of Automated Clearing House or debit card payments), or as charges to your designated account (in the case of credit card payments), for the monthly subscription fee for the Service on the date of the issuance of the invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing; (ii) agreeing to keep all account and related information up to date including your email address so that mabl can complete your transactions and contact you as needed in connection with your transactions; and (iii) representing that you are authorized to use such EFT payment method, and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate.

2.4 Late Payments. Except for amounts reasonably disputed in good faith, any late payments shall be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% of the amount due (calculated on a monthly basis) or the maximum amount allowed by law. Should you not pay any undisputed amount when due, mabl may (at its discretion and in addition to other remedies it may have) suspend your access to the Service. You agree to reimburse mabl for any costs or expenses incurred by mabl related to (i) your payments including any return, rejection or insufficient funds or credit fees, and/or (ii) collection of any undisputed amount that is not paid when due including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Email notice from mabl’s third-party payment processor declining your EFT payment or otherwise relating to your account shall be deemed notice from mabl under these TOS.

ARTICLE 3. MODIFICATIONS; DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICE

3.1 To Terms of Service. mabl reserves the right to update and change these TOS from time to time by posting an updated version of such TOS on its website at www.mabl.com/tos no later than thirty (30) days prior to the posted effective date of such update. If you continue to use or access the Service after the posted effective date, you hereby agree to the updated Terms of Service.

3.2 To the Service. mabl reserves the right at any time to make modifications to the Service with or without notice. Unless mabl provides otherwise, these, or the then-current Terms of Service shall also apply to your use of any modified or new version of the Service; or your use of any updates, upgrades, changes, enhancements or new features added to the Service, that may be made available by mabl to you from time-to-time. mabl also reserves the right to discontinue offering the Service upon thirty (30) days advance notice of such discontinuance by providing notice to you in accordance with Article 8.8 of this Agreement, or by posting such notice of discontinuance on the user login page of the Service itself or on its website at www.mabl.com/tos. 

3.3 To Prices. Prices are subject to change at any time by providing notice to you in accordance with Article 8.8 of this Agreement by publishing an updated price list on mabl’s website at www.mabl.com/pricing. If you do not agree to such pricing change, you may cancel your Account. By continuing to use the Service after the effective date of such pricing change, you hereby agree to such pricing change. Unless otherwise stated in a notice, the effective date of such price change shall be the date of such notice.

ARTICLE 4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

4.1 Confidential Information. You acknowledge that the Service is the proprietary and confidential information of mabl, and agree not to disclose any Confidential Information about the Service without the prior written consent of mabl. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall include, without limitation, Data, each party’s proprietary technology, financial information, customer information, business processes and technical product information; communications between the parties regarding the Service; and any information that is clearly identified in writing at the time of disclosure as confidential or is of such a nature, or has been disclosed in such a way, that it should be obvious to the receiving party that it is confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information which: (i) is known publicly or becomes known publicly without fault of the receiving party; (ii) is already known by the receiving party before disclosure to it by the other party and not subject to an obligation of confidentiality; (iii) the receiving party becomes aware of from a third party not bound by nondisclosure obligations to the disclosing party and with the lawful right to disclose such information to the receiving party; (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without any use of the confidential information; or (v) is Aggregated Data (as defined below in Article 5.5), or other statistical data that does not contain any personally identifiable or user-specific information that is collected in connection with use of the Service

4.2 Confidentiality Obligations. Each party agrees: (i) to keep confidential all Confidential Information; (ii) not to use or disclose Confidential Information except to the extent necessary to exercise its express rights under this Agreement; and (iii) to protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a commercially reasonable degree of care in the protection of such Confidential Information). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will not prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or order of a court or other governmental authority or regulation. The failure of the receiving party to comply with the provisions of this Article 4 would result in irreparable harm to the disclosing party and, therefore, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to the disclosing party, the disclosing party shall have the right to an immediate injunction enjoining such breach.

ARTICLE 5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE RIGHTS
