Service Agreement
Effective Date 1 January 2022
Cito Data Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”) is pleased to offer certain web services (“Services”) according to the terms and conditions in this Agreement (“Agreement”). By creating an account to use the Services, you agree to this Agreement. If you represent an organization, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to this Agreement on behalf of your organization. If you do not agree to this Agreement, do not use the Services.
1. Services
You may access and use our Services in accordance with this Agreement.
You will comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the use of the Services and any additional feature or service you use. You understand and agree that we may change, suspend or discontinue any part or all of the Services. We will notify you of any material change to or discontinuation of the Services by email or via our website. Some Services may be in preview, testing, or “beta” phase (each, a “Beta Offering”), for the purpose of evaluating performance, identifying defects and obtaining feedback. Cito Data will not be liable for any damages in connection with your use of any Beta Offering. You are not required to use any Beta Offering, and we have no obligation to release a final version of any Beta Offering.
2. Registration and Your Account
To register to use the Services, you must create a username and password and provide us with the information requested in the registration process. You must provide complete and accurate information during the registration process and will update your information to ensure it remains accurate. Personally identifiable information submitted by you shall be subject to our Privacy Policy.
3. Payment and Taxes
(a) Services Fees. We calculate and bill fees and charges as described on the site specific to the Service you are using. If you choose monthly billing by credit card, you authorize a recurring monthly charge to your credit card based on our current fee schedule for the Services. You will pay us the applicable fees and charges for use of the Services as described on the applicable site using your credit card. All amounts payable for the Services will be made without setoff or deduction, and all amounts paid are non-refundable. We may increase or add new fees and charges for a Service by updating the applicable site. In the event that we change the pricing for the Services the fees payable by you will increase or decrease in accordance with any such modification upon the date specified on the applicable site. We may charge you interest at the rate of 1% per month or the highest rate permitted by law on any late payment.
(b) Taxes. All fees and charges payable by you are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. You will provide us any information we reasonably request to determine whether we are obligated to collect VAT from you, including your VAT identification number. If you are legally entitled to an exemption from any sales, use, or similar transaction tax, you are responsible for providing us with legally-sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction. We will apply the tax exemption certificates to charges under your account occurring after the date we receive the tax exemption certificates. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify us and will pay us any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that we receive, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, you will provide us with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.
4. Term and Termination
(a) Term; Termination. The term of this Agreement commences when you create an account and will remain in effect until terminated in accordance with this Agreement. You may terminate this Agreement by terminating all Services under your account, and we may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing you 30 days’ advance notice. We may deactivate your free Cito Data trial account if you do not use it for 30 days, after which we will use commercially reasonable efforts to allow you to reactivate the Service by request to us. We may also terminate your account and this Agreement, or suspend your access to the Services, immediately if: (i) we change the way we provide or discontinue any Service; (ii) you are late in payment or otherwise in breach of this Agreement; (iii) we reasonably determine that your use of the Services poses a risk to the availability, functionality or security of the Services; (iv) we reasonably determine that your use of the Services may be unlawful; or (v) you have ceased to operate in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of your assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding. If we suspend your right to access or use any portion or all of the Services, you remain responsible for all fees and charges you have incurred during the suspension and you will not be entitled to any credit or refund. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore your access to the Services promptly following resolution of the cause of your suspension. We may suspend or terminate your access to or use of any Beta Offering at any time and for any reason.
(b) Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement (i) all your rights under this Agreement immediately terminate; and (ii) you remain responsible for all fees and charges you have incurred up to and including the date of termination.
