Online Service Description

This Power Accelerate Online Subscription Agreement is between the entity you represent, or, if you do not designate an entity in connection with a Subscription purchase or renewal, you individually (“you” or “your”), and Power Accelerate (“Power Accelerate”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). It consists of the terms and conditions below, as well as the Online Services Terms, the SLAs, and the Offer Details for your Subscription or renewal (together, the “agreement”). It is effective on the date we provide you with confirmation of your Subscription or the date on which your Subscription is renewed, as applicable. Key terms are defined in the definitions section.

Introduction

This Service Level Agreement for Power Accelerate Online Services (this “SLA”) is a part of your agreement (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this SLA will have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement. This SLA applies to the Power Accelerate Online Services listed herein (a “Service” or the “Services”), but does not apply to separately branded services made available with or connected to the Services or to any on-premises software that is part of any Service.
If we do not achieve and maintain the Service Levels for our Power Accelerate Service as described in this SLA, then you may be eligible for a Power Accelerate credit up to a maximum of 10% of the up front paid consumption fees.
Power Accelerate has the right to modify the terms of your SLA providing at least 90 days’ notice.

Use of Online Services

a. Right to use. We grant you the right to access and use the Online Services and to install and use the Software included with your Subscription, as further described in this agreement. We reserve all other rights.
b. Acceptable use. You may use the Product only in accordance with this agreement. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or work around technical limitations in the Product, except to the extent applicable law permits it despite these limitations. You may not disable, tamper with, or otherwise attempt to circumvent any billing mechanism that meters your use of the Online Services. You may not rent, lease, lend, resell, transfer, or host the Product, or any portion thereof, to or for third parties except as expressly permitted in this agreement or the Online Services Terms.
c. End Users. You control access by End Users, and you are responsible for their use of the Product in accordance with this agreement. For example, you will ensure End Users comply with the Acceptable Use Policy.
d. Customer Data. You are solely responsible for the content of all Customer Data. You will secure and maintain all rights in Customer Data necessary for us to provide the Online Services to you without violating the rights of any third party or otherwise obligating Power Accelerate to you or to any third party. Power Accelerate does not and will not assume any obligations with respect to Customer Data or to your use of the Product other than as expressly set forth in this agreement or as required by applicable law.
e. Responsibility for your accounts. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any non-public authentication credentials associated with your use of the Online Services. You must promptly notify our customer support team about any possible misuse of your accounts or authentication credentials or any security incident related to the Online Services.
f. Preview releases. We may make Previews available. Previews are provided “as-is”, “with all faults”, and “as-available”, and are excluded from the SLAs and all limited warranties provided in this agreement. Previews may not be covered by customer support. We may change or discontinue Previews at any time without notice. We also may choose not to release a Preview into general availability.
g. Power Accelerate Managed Services. You may not resell or redistribute the Power Accelerate Services without written permission from Power Accelerate. You may not allow multiple users to directly or indirectly access any Power Accelerate Services feature that is made available on a per-user basis.
h. Administrator Assumption of Control. If you use an email address provided by an organization you are affiliated with (e.g. an employer or school) to order an Online Service individually, you represent that you have authority to use that organization’s domain to sign up for a Subscription in your capacity as a member of that organization. The organization, as the owner of the domain associated with your email address, may assume control over and manage your use of the Online Services. In such a case, your organization’s designated administrator (your “admin”) may (i) control and administer your account, including modifying and terminating your access and (ii) access and process your data, including the contents of your communications and files. Power Accelerate may inform you that your organization has assumed control of the Online Services covered by your Subscription, but Power Accelerate is under no obligation to provide such notice. If your organization is administering your use of the Online Services or managing the tenant associated with your Subscription, direct your data subject requests and privacy inquiries to your administrator. If your organization is not administering your use of the Online Service or managing such tenant, direct your data subject requests and privacy inquiries to Power Accelerate.
i. Shared Directory Data. When you order an Online Service using an email address with a domain provided by an organization you are affiliated with (e.g. an employer or school), the Online Service adds you to a directory of users that share the same email domain. Your directory data (Power Accelerate projects and it’s data, your name, date of signup, and email address) may be visible to other users of Online Services within your organization’s email domain.
j. Additional Software for use with the Online Services. To enable optimal access to and use of certain Online Services, you may install and use certain Software in connection with your use of the Online Service as described in the Online Services Terms. We license Software to you; we do not sell it. Proof of your Software license is (1) this agreement, (2) any order confirmation, and (3) proof of payment. Your rights to access Software on any device do not give you any right to implement Power Accelerate patents or other Power Accelerate intellectual property in software or devices that access that device.

Purchasing services

a. Available Subscription offers. Power Accelerate will provide details for available Subscription offers, which generally can be categorized as one or a combination of the following:
(i) Commitment Offering. You commit in advance to purchase a specific quantity of Online Services via Power Accelerate credits for use during a Term and to pay upfront or on a periodic basis in advance of use. With respect to Power Accelerate Services, additional or other usage (for example, usage beyond your commitment quantity) may be treated as a Consumption Offering. Committed quantities not used during the Term will expire at the end of the Term.
(ii) Limited Offering. You receive a limited quantity of Online Services for a limited term without charge (for example, as a trial Subscription). Provisions in this agreement with respect to pricing, cancellation fees, payment, and data retention may not apply.
b. Ordering.
(i) By ordering or renewing a Subscription, you agree to the Offer Details for that Subscription. Unless otherwise specified in those Offer Details, Online Services are offered on an “as available” basis. You may place orders for your Affiliates under this agreement and grant your Affiliates administrative rights to manage the Subscription, but Affiliates may not place orders under this agreement. You also may assign the rights granted under to a third party for use by that third party in your internal business. If you grant any rights to Affiliates or third parties with respect to Software or your Subscription, such Affiliates or third parties will be bound by this agreement and you agree to be jointly and severally liable for any actions of such Affiliates or third parties related to their use of the Products.
(ii) Some offers may permit you to modify the quantity of Power Accelerate Services ordered during the Term of a Subscription. We may charge you a cancellation fee for the decrease in quantity.
c. Pricing and payment. Payments are due and must be made in advance according to the Offer Details for your Subscription.
(i) For Consumption Offerings, pricing is subject to change at any time upon notice.
d. Renewal.
(i) Upon renewal of your Subscription, this agreement will terminate, and your Subscription will thereafter be governed, by the terms and conditions set forth in the new agreement on the date on which your Subscription is renewed (the “Renewal Terms”). If you do not agree to any Renewal Terms, you may decline to renew your Subscription.
(ii) For Consumption Offerings, your Subscription will renew automatically for additional one-month terms until you terminate the Subscription.
(iv) For Limited Offerings, renewal may not be permitted.
e. Taxes. Prices are exclusive of any taxes unless otherwise specified on the invoice as tax inclusive. You must pay any applicable value added, goods and services, sales, gross receipts, or other transaction taxes, fees, charges or surcharges, or any regulatory cost recovery surcharges or similar amounts that are owed under this agreement and which we are permitted to collect from you under applicable law. You will be responsible for any applicable stamp taxes and for all other taxes that you are legally obligated to pay including any taxes that arise on the distribution or provision of Products to your Affiliates. We will be responsible for all taxes based on our net income, gross receipts taxes imposed in lieu of taxes on income or profits, or taxes on our property ownership.
If any taxes are required to be withheld on payments you make to us, you may deduct such taxes from the amount owed to us and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority; provided, however, that you promptly secure and deliver an official receipt for those withholdings and other documents we reasonably request to claim a foreign tax credit or refund. You must ensure that any taxes withheld are minimized to the extent possible under applicable law.

Term, termination, and suspension

a. Agreement term and termination. This agreement will remain in effect until the expiration, termination, or renewal of your Subscription, whichever is earliest.

(i) Trial Subscription. A Subscription having a one-month Term may be terminated anytime without any cancellation fee.
(ii) Subscriptions of more than one-month. If you terminate a Subscription to Power Accelerate Services within 30 days of the date on which the Subscription became effective or was renewed, no refunds will be provided, and you must pay for the initial 30 days of the Subscription, but no payments will be due for the remaining portion of the terminated Subscription. If you terminate a Subscription to Power Accelerate Services at any other time during the term, you must pay for the remainder of the Term, and no refunds will be provided.
(iii) Limited Offerings. Power Accelerate may terminate your Subscription to a Limited Offering at any time during the Term immediately without notice.

c. Suspension. We may suspend your use of the Online Services if: (1) it is reasonably needed to prevent unauthorized access to Customer Data; (2) you fail to respond to a claim of alleged infringement under Section ‘defence of claims’ within a reasonable time; (3) you do not pay amounts due under this agreement; (4) you do not abide by the Acceptable Use Policy or you violate other terms of this agreement; or (5) for Limited Offerings, the Subscription becomes inactive from your failure to access the Online Services as described in the Offer Details. If one or more of these conditions occurs, then:
(i) For Limited Offerings, we may suspend your use of the Online Services, your Subscription and your account immediately without notice.
(ii) For all other Subscriptions, a suspension will apply to the minimum necessary part of the Online Services and will be in effect only while the condition or need exists. We will give notice before we suspend, except where we reasonably believe we need to suspend immediately. We will give at least 30 days’ notice before suspending for non-payment. If you do not fully address the reasons for the suspension within 60 days after we suspend, we may terminate your Subscription and delete your Customer Data without any retention period. We may also terminate your Subscription if your use of the Online Services is suspended more than twice in any 12-month period.
