UserScape, Inc., a New York corporation ("UserScape"), has created a server-based, proprietary, help desk software product called HelpSpot (the "the Software").
Access to and use of the Software is limited to individuals, firms, organizations and entities that purchase a license ("Licensees") and to individuals who (a) are employed by a Licensee or engaged as independent contractors of a Licensee, (b) access the Software solely for the benefit of such Licensee and (c) agree to be bound by all of these terms and conditions to the same extent that such Licensee is bound (collectively, "Authorized Users").
The Software permits Licensees to assign a user name to each Authorized User, to deactivate user names and create new user names.
Customers with owned licenses (purchased before January 4th, 2016) may host the Software on one or more servers at one or more locations or facilities. Customers on a subscription may host HelpSpot on one webserver and optionally one external database server. One server may also be provisioned for development and testing but not production use. Customers on subscription need a seperate license for each production installation of HelpSpot.
The maximum number of Authorized Users, if any, will be indicated in your online order or registration form, purchase order, written agreement or other evidence of purchase (your "Order"). You may purchase a license for a fixed maximum number or an unlimited number of Authorized Users. You may upgrade your license at any time to a larger or an unlimited number of Authorized Users at the rates then in effect for such upgrades. The specific organization or entity that is the Licensee will also be indicated in your Order.
By accessing or using the Software, you represent and warrant that you are a Licensee or an Authorized User and that you agree to these terms and conditions. All references to "you" mean either a Licensee or an Authorized User.
In consideration for payment pursuant to your Order, we grant to you, on these terms and conditions, the non-exclusive right and license to use the Software. In the event of a conflict between these terms and conditions and the terms of your online order or registration form, purchase order, written agreement or other evidence of purchase, the purchase order, written agreement or other evidence of purchase will control.
No Publication. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in these terms and conditions, you may not distribute, disclose, display, transmit, publish, resell, sublicense or otherwise transfer any the Software or its associated documentation, nor allow the distribution, disclosure, display, transmission, publication, resale, sublicense or transfer of any the Software or its documentation, to any person or entity.
No Services for Others. You may not use the Software to perform services for any person or entity other than the Licensee and its employees and contractors for the benefit of the Licensee.
You may not copy or allow copies of the Software to be made for any reason, except for back-up and archival purposes.
You may not make any changes or modifications in the Software, nor may you create derivative works of the Software or its associated documentation. You may not decompile, disassemble, decrypt, extract or otherwise reverse engineer the Software. You may not remove, alter, cover, or distort any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notice placed by us in or on the Software, media or documentation.
You may not use the Software in any unlawful manner or for any unlawful purpose. You may not export or re-export any portion of the Software except in full compliance with all United States laws and regulations, these terms and conditions and, if applicable, the associated written agreement.
If you purchase your first license on or after January 4, 2016, the license we grant to you is a subscription that runs either month to month or year to year, from the date of your purchase.
If you purchased the license before January 4, 2016, you may continue to use the Software on your server with or without our ongoing support. If you purchase a subsequent support contract, your support contract will run from year to year from the date of your purchase of the support contract.
We reserve the right to increase the price of the subscription or the support contract. Pricing for subscriptions and support contracts is based on the number of Authorized Users. If you increase the number of Authorized Users during the term of your subscription or contract, we will charge you a prorated amount for each additional Authorized User for the period through the end of the then-current subscription or contract term.
If you purchased the license before January 4, 2016, and you desire to increase the maximum number of Authorized Users, we reserve the right to increase the price of the license for the added Authorized Users in our discretion from time to time.
We may terminate or suspend your license or account at any time without notice to you. Without limiting the foregoing, we shall have the right to immediately terminate your access to HelpSpot and related websites in the event of any conduct by you which we, in our sole discretion, consider to be unacceptable, or in the event of any breach by you of these Terms.
