IMPORTANT – READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OR ACCESSING THESE PROPRIETARY SERVICES.

BY AGREEING TO AN ORDER, CLICKING “I AGREE” TO AN ORDER, SUBMITTING A CREDIT CARD PAYMENT FORM, OR BY OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES, CUSTOMER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. 

These Subscription Terms (“Terms”), along with the Order (defined below) and other documents incorporated by reference (collectively, “Agreement”) create an agreement between Staffing Engine, Inc. (“Provider”), a Colorado corporation and the business entity or person identified on the Order for whom you (“You”) are acting (“Customer”). Customer desires to use the Provider Subscription Services (defined below) pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement governs Customer’s access to and use of the Subscription Services. You are entering into this Agreement for Customer’s access and use of the Subscription Services in accordance with this Agreement. You represent and warrant that You are entering into this Agreement on behalf of Customer and that You have the authority to bind Customer to this Agreement.

The Order Form is considered an offer and Provider is willing to provide the Subscription Services to Customer only on condition that You accept all the terms in this Agreement on behalf of Customer. Any different or additional terms and conditions set forth in any purchase order, confirmation, statement of work, order form or similar ordering document are rejected and shall have no force or effect on the Agreement unless it is an amendment or addendum to the Agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties.

Unless Customer has entered into a signed written agreement with Provider for the Subscription Services prior to this Agreement, then that signed written agreement shall supersede and take precedence over this Agreement. If Customer has entered into an online agreement with Provider for the Services prior to this Agreement, then this Agreement shall supersede and take precedence over that earlier agreement. This Agreement shall be the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Services and any earlier online agreement is hereby terminated.

The parties agree as follows:

1. Scope.

1.1.  Provider shall make available to Customer the Provider Conversational AI platform applications, analytics, tools, and platforms that Customer has subscribed to under an Order Form (defined below) or that Provider otherwise make available to Customer, and are developed, operated, and maintained by Provider, accessible via https://staffingengine.ai or another designated URL (“Platform”), and any ancillary products and services, including text messaging delivery services, that Provider provides to Customer including any and all updates, upgrades, modifications, improvements and derivatives to the Platform or such services made available to Customer (collectively, the “Subscription Services”).

1.2.  An “Order Form” means any agreed upon order form or online subscription process by which Customer agrees to subscribe to the Subscription Service setting forth the terms and conditions relating to the Subscription Services. These Terms are incorporated by reference into the Order Form which together form the “Agreement” that governs Customer’s use of and access to the Subscription Services. Customer is purchasing the right to access and use the Subscription Services set forth in the Order Form for the time period provided in the Order Form (“Order Form Term”). To the extent of any conflict between the provisions of this Subscription Services Agreement and the provisions of any Order Form, the provisions of the Order Form shall take precedence and govern.

2. Rights to Subscription Services.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Provider hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, limited, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right, during the Term (defined below), to allow Customer’s employees or contractors (“Permitted Users”) to access and use the Subscription Services solely in connection with the facilitation of certain messages and communications to intended recipients of Customer’s business.

3. Fees and Payment. 

3.1.  Customer shall pay the fees for the rights to access and use the Subscription Services as set forth in the Order Form (“Fees”). Unless otherwise expressly indicated in the Order Form, all payments of Fees shall be due and payable within 30 days after the date of the applicable invoice. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all Fees are non-refundable. If Customer fails to pay any Fees when due as set forth in the Order Form, Provider may charge a late fee on such Fees calculated at the lesser of (a) rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month of the total outstanding amount and (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Customer is responsible for all collection costs (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from Provider’ efforts to collect past due Fees.

3.2.  Customer may add users to their account at any time and Provider will charge Customer at the then current rate and prorate, if necessary, to align with the existing term and billing cycle associated with the applicable Order Form. Provider may provide Customer with a maximum number of messages for a given period, in which case, if Customer exceeds the stated maximum number of messages for a given period, then each message above the maximum for that respective period will be billed separately to the Customer at the per message rate calculated from the then current Order Form.

3.3.  All Fees are exclusive of any sales, use, services, Internet tax or other tax or governmental assessment applicable thereto, and, as between Customer and Provider, Customer is responsible for all taxes and governmental assessments applicable to this Agreement and Services.

4. Term and Termination. 

4.1.  This Agreement commences on the Effective date and continues until the Order Form has expired or until this Agreement has been terminated (“Term”).

4.2.  A party may terminate this Agreement and applicable Order Form(s) for cause upon written notice to the other party if the other party breaches any material provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after the breaching party’s receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party.

4.3.  The term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or one (1) year (whichever is shorter), unless either party gives the other written notice at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume or subscription length for any Subscription Services has decreased from the prior term may result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.

4.4.  Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, except as otherwise expressly set forth hereunder, all rights to access and use the Subscription Services shall automatically terminate as of the termination date, and Customer shall cease all use of the Subscription Services. Customer shall pay all Fees owed to Provider prior to the effective date of termination or expiration. Upon written request, Provider shall maintain an archive of Customer Data for 30 days for retrieval in .csv format. Following such requested 30-day period, Provider shall have no responsibility to store, maintain, or archive any Customer Data following termination, or any liability for deletion or removal of Customer Data. Sections 4.4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14, and all payment obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement.

5. Proprietary Rights. 

5.1.  As between the parties, Provider is the owner of all rights, title, and interest, including without limitation any and all associated intellectual property rights, in and to the Services Subscription Services (including the Platform), all logs and records created by Provider or its providers and systems as a result of the registration, access and use of the Subscription Services, and any ideas, concepts, know-how, documentation, techniques, work product, or other proprietary materials that Provider provides, discloses, or makes available under this Agreement, and any updates, enhancements, customizations, modifications, and developments thereto or derivative works thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be construed as any sale, assignment, or other transfer of any proprietary interest in or to the Subscription Services, and Provider hereby reserves all rights in the Subscription Services not expressly granted herein.

5.2.  As part of Customer’s access to and use of the Subscription Services, Customer may access tools, components, modules, sites, links, or other materials from third parties (collectively, “Third Party Property”). Provider has no ownership or control over the content, characteristics, or specifications of Third Party Property, and Provider hereby expressly disclaims all responsibility or liability therefor. Use of or access to Third Party Property may be subject to additional legal terms and conditions effective between Customer and the third party proprietors, administrators, or licensors of such Third Party Property. Provider shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with such terms.

5.3.  If, in the course of the use of the Subscription Services under this Agreement, Customer or any Permitted User provides remarks, suggestions, requests, recommendations, improvements, or comments regarding the Subscription Services, or other of Provider’ business activities or proprietary materials (collectively, “Feedback”), Provider may use, disclose, and otherwise exploit all such Feedback for any and all internal, public, commercial, and non-commercial purposes. Feedback is not Customer Confidential Information.

6. Data.

7. Confidentiality.

7.1.  In connection with its performance of its respective obligations hereunder, each party (“Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available to the other Party (“Receiving Party”) its Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means information in any form or medium (whether oral, written, electronic, or other) disclosed to Receiving Party that is confidential or proprietary to Disclosing Party, including, but not limited to, trade secrets, know-how, business operations, plans, strategies, customers, and pricing, and information with respect to which Disclosing Party has contractual or other confidentiality obligations that: (a) is marked or labeled as “confidential” or “proprietary;” (b) identified at the time of disclosure as confidential, or (c) Receiving Party knows or should reasonably know to be confidential or proprietary to Disclosing Party under the circumstances of disclosure.

7.2.  Receiving Party shall not use Confidential Information for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement, and shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party other than Receiving Party’s employees, officers, executives, directors, agents, consultants and professional advisors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are under confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than Receiving Party’s obligations under this Section. Receiving Party will exercise at least the same degree of care, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information as it employs with respect to its own information of a like nature. Receiving Party shall be responsible for any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by such employees, officers, executives, directors, agents, consultants, and professional advisors.

7.3.  Receiving Party shall not have any confidentiality obligations with regard to information disclosed to it that it can show: (a) was rightfully known to Receiving Party without restriction on use or disclosure prior to receipt of such information from Disclosing Party; (b) becomes generally known by the public without breach, negligence, or other wrongdoing of Receiving Party; (c) is rightfully received by Receiving Party by a third party which is under no obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; or (d) was independently developed by Receiving Party without reference to or use of any portion of Confidential Information, as demonstrated by Receiving Party’s written records. If Receiving Party is ordered, as part of an administrative or judicial proceeding or other operation of applicable law, to disclose any Confidential Information, Receiving Party will, to the extent permitted by law: (i) notify the Disclosing Party of such request in writing as promptly as practicable; (ii) cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or similar confidential treatment for such Confidential Information; and (iii) disclose only those portions of Confidential Information strictly required for compliance with said order or law.

7.4.  As promptly as practicable upon the written request of Disclosing Party, Receiving Party shall either: (a) return all Confidential Information in its possession or control in any medium, including any copies or reproductions thereof, to Disclosing Party, or (b) destroy all Confidential Information in its possession or control in any medium, including any copies or reproductions thereof, and deliver a written certification of such destruction to the Disclosing Party if requested. The return and destruction obligations of this paragraph shall not apply to Provider’ retention, return, and/or deletion of Customer Data, which is governed by the procedure set forth in Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Receiving Party may retain Confidential Information (a) to comply with applicable law or regulation, professional standards, or internal document retention policy, and (b) as part of its automatic electronic archiving and back-up procedures; in either case provided that such Confidential Information so retained may be used solely for nonpublic, non-commercial internal archival and/or compliance purposes and for no other purpose, and shall otherwise remain subject to all of Receiving Party’s confidentiality obligations under this Section.

8. Account Administration.

8.1.  Customer shall take all actions reasonably necessary in order to maintain the confidentiality of, and prevent the unauthorized access to and use of, all passwords and login information provided by Provider or created by Customer or Permitted Users, using the same standard of care that Customer’s uses to protect its own passwords and login information for its systems, but in any event no less than a reasonable standard of care. Customer will promptly notify Provider in writing (email sufficient for this purpose) if Customer becomes aware of, or has reason to believe that, an unauthorized party has gained access to a password or login to the Subscription Services. 

8.2.  Provider shall be entitled to rely upon any information and/or instructions set forth in any data transmission sent or received using the Subscription Services, without making further investigation or inquiry, and regardless of the actual identity of the individual transmitting the same.

If Provider is unable to correct any such properly reported error within 30 days, Customer may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Provider and, Provider shall refund all unused and previously paid Fees for the Subscription Services that were to be provided after the effective date of termination. Provider shall have no obligation to undertake any action for any error caused by Customer or the combination of the Subscription Services with any third party products or materials, except to the limited extent outlined in the Agreement, Order Form, or specifications.

Customer’s continued use of the Platform and/or receipt of Services following the expiration of said notice period shall constitute Customer’s consent to any such change.

11.8.  EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, Provider MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER ARISING FROM STATUTE, CUSTOM, COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, Provider SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL STATUTORY OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS REGARDING THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, THEIR FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY, THEIR SECURITY, AND ANY CONTENT OR OTHER MATERIAL MADE AVAILABLE THEREIN OR THEREBY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Provider DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S EXPECTATIONS, SPECIFICATIONS, OR REQUIREMENTS; THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES, MALWARE, OR ERRORS; OR THAT THE PLATFORM WOULD NOT BE FOUND TO CONSTITUTE AN “AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE DIALING SYSTEM” OR SIMILAR IF CHALLENGED UNDER THE FEDERAL TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OR SIMILAR STATE LAW.

This Section 13.1 states Provider’ entire liability and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for infringement claims or actions.

14. Miscellaneous.

14.1.  Except for payment obligations hereunder, neither party will be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for any failure or delay in performance caused by reasons beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, restrictions, prohibitions, priorities or allocations imposed or actions taken by a governmental authority, embargoes, fires, floods, earthquakes, explosions, natural disasters, riots, wars, sabotage, terrorism, cyberattacks, court injunction or order, and failures or fluctuations in power, heat, light, air conditioning, or telecommunications equipment or services (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).

14.2.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, all notices required under this Agreement must be in writing directed to the address for the corresponding party listed below. Notice will be deemed effective upon: (a) actual delivery to the other party, if delivered in person, or by national overnight courier with delivery confirmation; or (b) upon receipt after being sent by certified mail, signature required, postage prepaid. A party may change its notice address hereunder upon written notice to the other party regarding such change.

14.3.  Provider is an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, employment relationship, or agency relationship between the parties. This Agreement is for the benefit of the parties and is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any third party. Section headings and captions in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

14.4.  Neither party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights under this Agreement to any third party without the other party's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; except that a party may assign this Agreement without consent by operation of law or otherwise to any successor to its business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity not a party hereto.

14.5.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any actual or threatened breach of Sections 7 or 9 will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to the non-breaching party for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach, and that if granted, the breaching party agrees to waive any bond that would otherwise be required. If any legal action is brought by a party to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive its attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other legal expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive from the non-prevailing party.

14.6.  No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate or be deemed as a waiver of any such right or remedy. Any provision of this Agreement that is held to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction will be ineffective only as to that jurisdiction, and only to the extent of the unenforceability of such provision without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.

14.7.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without reference to its principles of conflict of laws. Any claim, suit, dispute, or other legal proceeding arising under this Agreement shall be brought exclusively before the state and federal courts of competent jurisdiction sitting in Boulder, Colorado, and the parties hereby expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction thereof for the resolution of all such claims, suits, disputes, or proceedings.

14.8.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.9.  This Agreement, including the Order Form and any exhibits or attachments thereto, constitute the final and entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject hereof and supersedes all other agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties concerning such subject matter. No terms and conditions proposed by either party shall be binding on the other party unless accepted in writing by both parties, and each party hereby objects to and rejects all terms and conditions not so accepted.
