CIVICPRO TERMS OF SERVICE
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of CivicPro’s website, products, and services (the “Services”). Please read these Terms carefully, and send an email to info@getcivicpro.com if you have any questions. By completing a Sign Up Form (“Form”) and/or receiving non-Educational access to CivicPro, you subscribe to the Services and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. These Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Form are collectively referred to as the “Agreement”.
The Agreement shall be effective as of the date you complete your Form or are otherwise granted access to CivicPro’s Services. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and only if you have the power and legal ability to form a contract with CivicPro.
1. USING CIVICPRO
1.1. Your CivicPro Account. When you create your CivicPro account, you must provide us with accurate and complete information. If you open an account on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are authorized to grant all permissions provided in these Terms and bind the entity to these Terms, and that you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.
1.2. Ownership & Proprietary Rights. You acknowledge that the Services and Data (“Data” means all information made available through the Services that is not in the public domain at the time you complete a Form or otherwise obtain your free access to CivicPro) are protected by copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other proprietary rights, and that these worldwide rights are valid and protected in all forms, media and technologies now existing or developed in the future. You agree to comply with all intellectual property laws and you shall not directly or indirectly assert any rights to the Services and Data or seek to reverse engineer the Services and Data.
You are granted the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-licensable right to use the Services and Data during the subscription term, and to electronically copy or print portions of the Data for your use only.
You may not copy, download, distribute, retransmit, resell, scrape, crawl, data mine, or use any other data gathering or extraction tools, or otherwise use the Services and Data or any portion thereof, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or with CivicPro’s prior written permission.
Unless expressly stated herein, these Terms do not confer any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise.
The rights conferred by this Agreement are revocable at any time.
1.3. Updates. You agree that we may automatically upgrade the Services, and these Terms will apply to such upgrades.
1.4. Suspension of Services. CivicPro may, without limiting CivicPro’s other rights and remedies, suspend or terminate your access to the Services if CivicPro reasonably determines that: (a) there is a threat or attack on the site hosting the Services (including a denial of service attack) or other event that may create a risk to the Services or any user of the Services; (b) your use of the Services disrupts or poses a security risk or risk of harm to CivicPro or any user of the Services, or may subject CivicPro or any third party to liability; (c) CivicPro reasonably believes that your use of Services violates any applicable law or regulation, or this Agreement. CivicPro will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses or any other consequences that you may incur as a result of any service suspension. A suspension under this Section 1.4 will not terminate this Agreement or relieve you of any of your obligations or liabilities under the Agreement.
1.5. Your Content. CivicPro allows you to post content, including comments and other materials. Anything that you post or otherwise make available through the CivicPro website is referred to as “User Content.” You retain ownership of, and are solely responsible for, the User Content you post to CivicPro. By default your User Content is private and viewable only by you, and CivicPro will not publicly share or publicly display such User Content. CivicPro may enable you to post to publicly accessible areas, and such posts may be viewable by other users of the Services and may be viewable through third party services and websites. When posting in publicly accessible areas you should only provide content that you are comfortable sharing with others under these Terms. Additionally, CivicPro may enable you to share your User Content with others, and you should only share what you are comfortable sharing with others under these Terms.
Subject to the foregoing, you hereby grant to CivicPro a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to store, reproduce, adapt, modify, create derivative works of, publish, transmit, display and distribute your User Content, and to otherwise use any of your User Content as CivicPro may deem necessary or desirable for purposes of debugging, testing, or providing support or development services in connection with the Services and future improvements. You agree that this license includes the right for CivicPro to make your User Content available to others for the publication, distribution, syndication, or broadcast of such User Content on other media and services. Such additional uses by CivicPro or others may be made with no compensation paid to you with respect to the User Content that you post or otherwise make available through Services.
Additionally, by uploading content to the site, you warrant, represent and agree that you have the right to grant CivicPro the license described above and that you have not and will not contribute any User Content that (a) infringes, violates or otherwise interferes with any copyright or trademark of another party, (b) reveals any trade secret, unless the trade secret belongs to you or you have the owner's permission to disclose it, (c) infringes any intellectual property right of another or the privacy or publicity rights of another, (d) is libelous, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harassing, hateful, offensive or otherwise violates any law or right of any third party, (e) creates an impression that you know is incorrect, misleading, or deceptive, including by impersonating others or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity; (f) contains other people's private or personally identifiable information without their express authorization and permission, and/or (g) contains or links to a virus, trojan horse, worm, time bomb or other computer programming routine or engine that is intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or information.
CivicPro reserves the right in its discretion to remove any User Content from the Services, suspend or terminate your account at any time, or pursue any other remedy or relief available under equity or law.
Following termination or deactivation of your account, or if you remove any of your User Content from CivicPro, that User Content will no longer be accessible from your account, but may be accessed from other user accounts if it has been shared with others and they have not deleted it. CivicPro may also continue to retain and use any User Content deleted from your account and any User Content associated with your account after termination or deactivation, for as long as it is necessary to provide products and services to you and others, including those described above.
All User Content is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such User Content. We may not monitor or control the User Content posted via Services. Any use of or reliance on any such User Content by you is at your own risk. Under no circumstances will CivicPro be liable in any way for any User Content.
We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, (ii) enforce the Terms, including investigation of potential violations hereof, (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, (iv) respond to user support requests, or (v) protect the rights, property or safety of CivicPro, its users and the public.
2. FREE/PAID ACCESS
2.1. Open Plan/Trial Access. CivicPro retains sole discretion over whether to grant or deny free access to any of the Services, or to grant any request for a free trial of any of the Services. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate CivicPro to grant or continue free access to any of the Services. If you have been granted a free trial of certain features and/or content within the Services, your access to those features and/or content shall terminate at the end of the trial period, or at any earlier or later date as determined by CivicPro.
2.2. Paid Subscription. CivicPro offers paid subscriptions and/or enterprise plans.
