End User License Agreement (EULA)
Last Modified: December 8, 2022
This CloudSoftware End User License Agreement (the “Agreement” or “Master Agreement” or “EULA”) is made and entered into by and between CloudSoftware with offices in Long Valley NJ and the entity agreeing to these terms (“Customer”).
This Agreement is effective as of the date defined in a duly executed Order for Platform Licensing (the “Effective Date”) or other document that incorporates this Agreement. If you are accepting on behalf of Customer, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind Customer to this Agreement; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; (iii) you agree, on behalf of Customer, to this Agreement; (iv) Customer is entering this Agreement for business purposes only, and not for personal, household, or consumer use, and (v) that Customer is an independent business (whether it be as a self-employed individual/sole proprietor or as a corporation or other entity).
Provision of the Services.
Services Use. Customer may not sublicense or transfer these rights except as permitted under the Assignment section of the Agreement.
Platform. CloudSoftware will provide the Services to Customer.
Facilities. CloudSoftware will take commercially reasonable steps to select Data Processors to store and process Application and Customer Data who adhere to reasonable security standards no less protective than the security standards at facilities where CloudSoftware processes and stores its own information of a similar type. Data Processor’s will be selected based on their representation that they implement at least industry standard systems and procedures to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of an Application and Customer Data, (ii) protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of an Application and Customer Data, and (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of an Application and Customer Data.
New Applications and Services. CloudSoftware may: (i) make new applications, tools, features or functionality available from time to time through the Services and (ii) add new services to the “Services” definition from time to time (by adding them at the URL set forth under that definition), the use of which may be contingent upon Customer’s agreement to additional terms.
Modifications.
To the Services. CloudSoftware may make commercially reasonable updates to the Services from time to time.
To the Agreement. CloudSoftware may make changes to this Agreement, including pricing from after contract expiration.
Payment Terms.
Online Billing. CloudSoftware bills monthly licensing fees to a valid credit card at the beginning of each month in advance for the upcoming month.
Development billing. Invoices for development work can be paid via check or credit card.
Taxes
Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and Customer will pay CloudSoftware for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If CloudSoftware is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer, unless Customer provides CloudSoftware with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. In some states the sales tax is due on the total purchase price at the time of sale and must be invoiced and collected at the time of the sale. If Customer is required by law to withhold any Taxes from its payments to CloudSoftware, Customer must provide CloudSoftware with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such withholding. If under the applicable tax legislation the Services are subject to local VAT and the Customer is required to make a withholding of local VAT from amounts payable to CloudSoftware, the value of Services calculated in accordance with the above procedure will be increased (grossed up) by the Customer for the respective amount of local VAT and the grossed up amount will be regarded as a VAT inclusive price. Local VAT amount withheld from the VAT-inclusive price will be remitted to the applicable local tax entity by the Customer and Customer will ensure that CloudSoftware will receive payment for its services for the net amount as would otherwise be due (the VAT inclusive price less the local VAT withheld and remitted to applicable tax authority).
If required under applicable law, Customer will provide CloudSoftware with applicable tax identification information that CloudSoftware may require to ensure its compliance with applicable tax regulations and authorities in applicable jurisdictions. Customer will be liable to pay (or reimburse CloudSoftware for) any taxes, interest, penalties or fines arising out of any mis-declaration by the Customer.
Invoice Disputes & Refunds. Any invoice disputes must be submitted prior to the payment due date.
Delinquent Payments; Suspension. If Customer is late on payment for the Services, CloudSoftware may suspend the Services or terminate the Agreement for breach.
No Purchase Order Number Required. For clarity, Customer is obligated to pay all applicable Fees without any requirement for CloudSoftware to provide a purchase order number on CloudSoftware’s invoice (or otherwise).
Customer Obligations.
Compliance. Customer is solely responsible for compliance with the AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). https://www.cloudsoftware.us/acceptable-use-policy
Restrictions. Customer will not, and will not allow third parties under its control to: (a) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile, translate, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to extract any or all of the source code of the Services.
Third Party Components. Third party components (which may include open source software) of the Services may be subject to separate license agreements. To the limited extent a third party license expressly supersedes this Agreement, that third party license governs Customer’s use of that third party component.
Suspension and Removals.
Suspension/Removals. If Customer becomes aware that any Application, Clouds, or Customer Data violates the AUP, Customer will immediately remove the relevant Customer Data (as applicable). If Customer fails to comply with the AUP and does not respond to written notice within 24 hours, the application may be suspended,
Emergency Security Issues. Despite the foregoing, if there is an Emergency Security Issue, then CloudSoftware may automatically suspend the offending Application, Clouds, and/or Account. Suspension will be to the minimum extent required, and of the minimum duration, to prevent or resolve the Emergency Security Issue. If CloudSoftware suspends an Application, Clouds, or the Account, for any reason, without prior notice to Customer, at Customer’s request, CloudSoftware will provide Customer the reason for the suspension as soon as is reasonably possible.
Intellectual Property Rights; Use of Customer Data; Feedback.
Intellectual Property Rights. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement does not grant either party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other’s content or any of the other’s intellectual property. As between the parties, Customer owns all Intellectual Property Rights in Customer Data, and CloudSoftware owns all Intellectual Property Rights in the Services, Application, Platform and Software.
Use of Customer Data. CloudSoftware will not access or use Customer Data, except as necessary to provide the Services to Customer.

The recipient will not disclose the Confidential Information, except to Affiliates, employees, agents or professional advisors who need to know it and who have agreed in writing (or in the case of professional advisors are otherwise bound) to keep it confidential. The recipient will ensure that those people and entities use the received Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under this Agreement, while using reasonable care to keep it confidential.

As between the parties, Customer is responsible for responding to all third party requests concerning its use and Customer End Users’ use of the Services.

Nondisparagement. Both parties expressly acknowledge and agree that neither party will make, or induce or assist others in making, either directly or indirectly, any public or private statements, comments or communications in any form that would constitute libel, defamation, slander, or disparagement of the other party, its employees, officers or directors. This prohibition includes any negative statements, comments or communications that are either derogatory or detrimental to the business reputation of the other party. However, this prohibition shall not apply to any truthful testimony provided under oath in connection with a legal proceeding arising under this Agreement. Failure to adhere to the terms of this Section constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. In the event that either party violates the provisions of this Section, the nonbreaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief because damages for a violation of this Section would be too difficult to accurately measure and in any litigation over the breach the nonbreaching party shall be reimbursed by the breaching party for all of its costs and reasonable attorney fees in connection with said breach.
Representations and Warranties. Each party represents and warrants that: (a) it has full power and authority to enter into the Agreement; and (b) it will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to its provision, or use, of the Services, as applicable.
