Parts of this Agreement

This Agreement consists of the following terms and conditions (hereinafter the “General Terms”) and terms and conditions, if any, specific to the use of individual Services (hereinafter the “Service Specific Terms”). In a conflict between the General and Service Specific Terms, the Service Specific Terms shall prevail.

Acceptance of the Agreement

You must be of legal age to enter into a binding agreement to accept the Agreement. If you disagree with the General Terms, do not use any of our Services. If you agree to the General Terms and do not agree to any Service Specific Terms, do not use the corresponding Service. You can accept the Agreement by checking a checkbox or clicking on a button indicating your acceptance of the Agreement or by actually using the Services.

Description of Service

We provide cloud software and applications for businesses, including associated offline and mobile applications ("Service" or "Services"). You may use the Services for your personal and business use or for internal business purposes in the organization that you represent. You may connect to the Services using any Internet browser supported by the Services. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Internet and the equipment necessary to use the Services. You can create and edit content with your user account; if you choose to do so, you can publish and share such content.

Beta Service

We may offer certain services such as closed or open beta services ("Beta Service" or “Beta Services”) for testing and evaluation. You agree that we have the sole authority and discretion to determine the time for testing and evaluating Beta Services. We will be the sole judge of the success of such testing and the decision, if any, to offer the Beta Services as commercial services. You will be under no obligation to acquire a subscription to use any paid Service as a result of your subscription to any Beta Service. We reserve the right to fully or partially discontinue, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, any of the Beta Services with or without notice to you.

Any data that you enter into the Services and any customizations made to the Services during the free trial will be permanently lost unless you (i) purchase the corresponding paid subscription plan for the account, (ii) purchase applicable Service upgrades, or (iii) export such data before the end of the trial period. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section, Services are offered as-is during the free trial, without any warranty, covenant, support or liability whatsoever, to the extent permitted by law.

Third-Party Applications

Cognitio+ Services integrates with many third-party applications (hereinafter "Third Party Application(s)").

You acknowledge and agree that Cognitio+ is not liable for any Third Party Applications. While we will try to provide you with advance notice, whenever reasonably possible, you acknowledge and agree that Cognitio+ may, at any time and in our sole discretion, and without any notice to you, suspend, restrict or disable access to or remove from Cognitio+ Services, any Third-Party Application, without any liability to you, including without limitation for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or other intangible losses.

Fees and Payments

The Services are available under subscription plans of various durations. Payments for subscription plans for less than a year can be made only by Credit Card. Your subscription will be automatically renewed at the end of each period unless you downgrade your paid subscription plan to a free one or inform us that you do not wish to renew the one. At the time of automatic renewal, the subscription fee will be charged to the credit card you last used. We provide you the option of changing the details if you would like the payment for the renewal to be made through a different Credit Card. If you do not wish to renew the subscription, you must inform us at least seven days before the renewal date. If you have not been downgraded to a free plan and have not informed us that you do not wish to renew the subscription, you will be presumed to have authorized Cognitio+ to charge the subscription fee to the credit card you last used.

From time to time, we may change the price of any Service or charge for using Services that are currently free of charge. Any increase in charges will not apply until the expiry of your then-current billing cycle. You will not be charged for using any Service unless you opt for a paid subscription.

Organization Accounts and Administrators

When you sign up for an account for your organization, you may specify one or more administrators. The administrators will have the right to configure the Services based on your requirements and manage end users in your organization account. Suppose your organization account is created and configured on your behalf by a third party. In that case, such a third party has likely assumed the administrator role for your organization. Ensure you enter into a suitable agreement with a third party specifying such party’s roles and restrictions as an administrator of your organization account.

You are responsible for (i) ensuring confidentiality of your organization account password, (ii) appointing competent individuals as administrators for managing your organization account, and (iii) ensuring that all activities that occur in connection with your organization account comply with this Agreement. You understand that Cognitio+ is not responsible for your account administration and internal management of the Services.

You are responsible for taking necessary steps to ensure your organization does not lose control of the administrator accounts. You may specify a process to be followed for recovering control in the event of such loss of control of the administrator accounts by emailing support@Cognitio+.com, provided that the process is acceptable to Cognitio+. Without any specified administrator account recovery process, Cognitio+ may provide control of an administrator account to an individual, providing proof that is satisfactory to Cognitio+ and demonstrating authorization to act on behalf of the organization. You agree not to hold Cognitio+ liable for the consequences of any action taken by Cognitio+ in good faith in this regard.
