Please read this Terms of Use (the "Terms") carefully. It governs your relationship with Convobox Inc. d/b/a ConvoBox and any of its affiliates or d/b/a designations and sets forth the terms of service under which ConvoBox makes the internet website at ConvoBox.com and its sister websites (together, the "Site"), and the services available through the Site or otherwise provided by ConvoBox and any related suite of services (the "Services"), to each person or entity (each a "User") accessing or using the Site or the Services. (A person who responds to a survey may be referred to as a "Respondent," but may also considered a User under these terms.)

These Terms, together with any and all other terms, conditions, rules, policies or procedures published on the Site which are specifically cited in this Terms of Service ("Additional Term"), each as updated from time to time by ConvoBox, constitute a binding, legal agreement between ConvoBox and User (collectively, the "Agreement"). To the extent you and ConvoBox execute a separate written Statement of Work, side letter, or other written instrument (each, a "SOW") which incorporates by reference this Terms of Use, these Terms shall supplement such SOW and the SOW shall also be a part of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between a SOW and these Terms, the conflicting provision in the SOW shall supersede the conflicting provision in these Terms.

By using the Site or the Services (including by responding to emails, surveys, polls or other communications received from other Users of the Site and the Services), each User hereby agrees to be and is bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree with any of the Terms, do not access or otherwise use the Site or the Services or any information contained on the Site.

ConvoBox may make changes to the content and Services offered on the Site at any time. ConvoBox can change the Terms at any time (including any Additional Terms), effective on a prospective basis. If ConvoBox changes the Terms, ConvoBox will post an updated set of Terms on this Site with a notice that the Terms have been changed, and ConvoBox may, but is not required to, send registered Users an email notice of the changes. If any modification is unacceptable to you, you must provide written notice to ConvoBox of your objection to such changes and terminate this Agreement within seven (7) days of the date of such change, and you shall cease using the Site and the Services. If you fail to provide such notice or continue using the Site and the Services following such changes, you will be conclusively deemed to have accepted the change.

Each User hereby warrants that if it is a corporation or other legal entity, such User is validly formed and existing under the laws of its jurisdiction and has duly authorized its agent(s) to enter into this Agreement and, if an individual, such User is of the age of majority in his or her place of residence.

1. Subscriptions and Payment

1.1. If User purchases a paid subscription to the Services (a "Subscription"), User shall pay all fees, including for any additional Services purchased by User or usage that exceeds the thresholds at the rates posted, as well as any taxes, applicable to such Subscription, as published on the Site at [pricing] from time to time. ConvoBox may change such fees at any time and in its sole discretion, provided that any such change shall become effective at the end of the then-current term of User’s Subscription. Late fees shall accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowable by law, whichever is less, and User shall reimburse ConvoBox for all collection costs and expenses.
1.2. Subscription membership in the Services is on a continuous service basis. This means that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, ConvoBox will automatically renew User's Subscription at the end of its term unless User's Subscription is canceled using the tool in User's account page on the Site at any time prior to the end of the then-current Subscription. User will be charged a renewal rate equal to the rate for the immediately preceding Subscription period, based upon the Subscription program (annual, quarterly, monthly, etc.) that User has chosen, unless ConvoBox has notified User of any new rate in advance. A cancellation of a Subscription requested by User through User's account will become effective on the date that the then-current Subscription period expires.
1.3. If User has elected to pay the fees referred to in Section 1.1 by credit card, User hereby warrants that User is an authorized signatory for such credit card, the credit card information provided by User is correct, and User shall promptly notify ConvoBox of any changes to such credit card information. User acknowledges and agrees that if User's credit card payment cannot be processed for any reason, ConvoBox may suspend or cancel User's Subscription.
1.4. To the extent User has signed a SOW containing payment provisions, the terms of such SOW shall govern.

2. Registration

If User has registered for an account to use the Services, User hereby warrants that the registration information provided by User is complete and accurate. User shall ensure that such information is kept up to date. Upon registering for an account, each User will select a password and an account designation if applicable. User acknowledges and agrees that User, and not ConvoBox, is responsible for User’s account and log-in credentials, and all activities occurring in connection with the use of that account, whether or not User expressly authorizes such activities.

3. Content

3.1. User acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) User, and not ConvoBox, is responsible for all content that User uploads, posts, emails, distributes, communicates, transmits, or otherwise makes available using the Services or that is otherwise made available through the use of User's account (if User has one) (collectively, the "Content"), whether or not authorized by User.
(b) By using the Site and the Services, User may be exposed to Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, libelous, vulgar, obscene, offensive, indecent, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable.
(c) User is solely responsible for complying with any legal requirements applicable to any Content it submits to the Services. ConvoBox makes no representations or warranties that the Services meets any legal requirements regarding any Content that is subject to any state or federal laws (e.g., HIPAA). User acknowledges that to the extent User needs a customized software solution to meet such requirements, ConvoBox will charge User its standard rates to develop a customized solution for User, and the foregoing must be evidenced in a SOW.
3.2. User further acknowledges and agrees that ConvoBox does not control the Content originating from Users, Respondents, or other users of the Site or the Services, and does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of such Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ConvoBox may review all Content for any reason, and may block, modify, terminate access to, or remove any such Content that ConvoBox considers, in its sole discretion, does not comply with any of the requirements of this Agreement (but ConvoBox is not obligated to do so).
3.3. ConvoBox reserves the right to purge Content from its databases at any time and from time to time without notice. User acknowledges and agrees that User is solely responsible for backing up any Content uploaded to the Site by User or received by User through the use of the Services. ConvoBox shall not be liable for any purging, deletion, or failure to retain any such Content.
3.4. ConvoBox may disable User's account and access to use the Site and/or the Services and ConvoBox may recover from User any losses, damages, costs or expenses incurred by ConvoBox resulting from or arising out of User's non-compliance with any provision of this Agreement.
