1.1 Orders for Services.  Pursuant to these Terms of Service, you may order from the Company licenses to access and use certain Software Services and Professional Services by placing an order  on the Company Website or by executing a written Order Form referencing this Agreement (each an “Order”).  Upon your submission of an Order, including your execution of an Order Form, any Services referenced in such Order shall be deemed included under, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement. The Order shall be incorporated into the terms of this Agreement by this reference. 1.2  Services. (a) Definitions: “Affiliate” of a party means any entity that the party directly or indirectly owns or controls more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests of the subject entity. “Authorized User(s)” means an individual natural person, whether an employee, business partner, contractor, or agent of you or your Affiliates, who is registered by you to use the Services.  An Authorized User must be identified by a unique email address and user name and two or more persons may not use the Services as the same Authorized User.  An Authorized User will only be allowed to use the Software Services if such user is under confidentiality obligations with you at least as restrictive as those in this Agreement and is accessing or using the Services solely to support your and/or your Affiliates internal business purposes. “Software Services” refers to those software products and services specified in the Order and any applicable Service Attachment that are made available to you and Authorized Users through our platform (the “Company Platform”).  Subject to the Order and any applicable Service Attachment, Software Services may include, without limitation, one or more of the following: a website hosted on the Company Platform (“your Website”), email marketing tools, including automated email campaigns and manual email sharing tools (“Email Tools”), print marketing tools, including automated and manual direct mail campaigns and tools (“Direct Mail Tools”), social media marketing tools, including automated social campaigns and manual social media sharing tools (“Social Tools” and together with Email Tools and Direct Mail Tools, “Marketing Tools”), the contact management system (“Contact System”), presentations (“Presentations”), the mobile application and portal through which your Website and the Software Services are accessed and managed (the “Platform Admin”), the blog and event tools (“Blog”), Content (as defined below), applications and other tools and services that may be added by the Company or its partners from time to time, collectively and individually. “Professional Services” refers to any professional, consulting, or other services specified in the Order and any applicable Service Attachment that are provided to you and Authorized Users and/or made available to you and Authorized Users by the Company outside of the Company Platform related to your use of the Software Services.  Subject to the Order and any applicable Service Attachment, the Professional Services may include, without limitation, one or more of the following: any setup services such as our white glove transfer, concierge, and exclusive services, copy or blog writing, video creation or other similar services, including but not limited to our Elevate marketing consulting services, branding, copywriting, and logo services, and SEO, SEM (PPC, retargeting, social reach) services, collectively and individually.

(b)  Right to Access and Use the Software Services.  During the period of this Agreement (the “Term”), we hereby give you and your Authorized Users permission to use and access those Software Services you have ordered in the Order solely for your own internal business use, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  You are responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate hardware, software, and connectivity to enable the Software Services to function as provided under this Agreement. The provision of Software Services frequently requires you to provide us materials, input and feedback (“Input”).

If you are a financial professional or other professional advisor, you also authorize the Company to give access to the Platform Admin to your broker/dealer or a third party marketing organization (the “Agent”), as identified and designated by you to the Company at the time you sign up for our Services or at a later date, to use the Platform Admin and the Software Services on your behalf. We are not responsible for any actions that your Agent may take on your behalf.  You also authorize us to respond to information requests from Agents or other regulatory bodies, as necessary, which may include the disclosure of information to such Agents or other governmental, legal, or regulatory bodies concerning your use of the Services.  The Company has no obligation to notify you in advance of any such disclosure.  As between you and the Company, you remain fully liable for and responsible for any actions taken on your behalf by your Agent.  If at any time during the Term you would like to remove and/or add a new Agent, please contact us and we will update the Agent’s access to the Platform Admin accordingly. 1.3 Professional Services.

You agree to remain engaged throughout the process of any Professional Services and to provide us the Input we need in a timely manner.

  1. CONTENT
2.1 Content. The content that may appear in the Software Services (“Content”) is of three types: Your Content, Related Third Party Content, and Company Content, in each case, as defined below. Content can be logos, trade names, service names, images, text, articles, infographics, blog posts, print marketing materials, videos, or any other type of material that may be displayed via or provided through the Software Services. The ownership of and responsibility for Content is governed by this Agreement. 2.2 Your Content. “Your Content” consists of (i) content from your prior non-Company website (“Your Prior Website Content”); and (ii) any Content provided to the Company by you (or any person on your behalf or through your account) in the course of using the Services, whether by email, by uploading such Content to the Software Services through the Platform Admin, or by any other method. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, you hereby grant to the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid-up assignable and transferable right and license to copy, download, and use Your Content in connection with providing the Services to you. For the avoidance of doubt, such permission and authorization extends retroactively to any Professional Services provided to you previously.  You warrant and represent that you own Your Content without any restriction or that you have a license to use Your Content in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. You are solely responsible for Your Content, including the accuracy and quality of Your Content, and the means by which Your Content was acquired.  You warrant and represent that it does not and will not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party when used in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. Importantly, you can remove any of Your Prior Website Content from the Software Services at any time through the Platform Admin.  We reserve the right to remove or refuse to use, include, or host Your Content, including without limitation, any multimedia content or interactive applications, in the operation of our Services. 2.3. Related Third Party Content. “Related Third Party Content” consists of Content used in the Services that is provided directly to the Company by a third party with which you have a relationship, such as your broker/dealer, marketing organization or a third party service to which you are a subscriber. You remain fully responsible and liable for all Related Third Party Content provided to us on your behalf.  The Company is not responsible for Related Third Party Content and disclaims any and all warranties related to such Third Party Content, including any warranty of non-infringement or fitness for a particular purpose. 2.4 Company Content. (a)  “Company Content” consists of Content used in the Services that is created by the Company or licensed by the Company from a third party, in digital and print format and may include but is not limited to sample/template emails, social media posts, print newsletters, events checklists and invitations (email/social/print), and practice management letters (e.g. letters to clients, employee checklists, etc.).  All right, title, and interest in and to Company Content is retained by the Company (or its licensors), provided, however, that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we hereby grant to you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable and nonassignable right and license to use Company Content solely in connection with your use of the Software Services during the Term. You may not use the Company Content for any other purpose. Thus, although you will be allowed to use all Company Content in the Software Services, you may not re-license, download, sell, rent, or use it for any other purpose. For example (without limitation), you cannot download from the Platform Admin an image we have provided for use on your Website or use the content from one of our articles in another publication without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion.  You may request permission to use Company Content, subject to certain restrictions, pursuant to a separate Content Use Agreement entered into between you and the Company.  The Content Use Agreement allows you to (i) copy or reproduce Company Content in physical form (or as a downloadable file for email attachment), in its entirety, or excerpts thereof, for use in printed or printable materials or email attachments, such as brochures, newsletters or flyers, related to the marketing of your business to clients and prospects, and (ii) use or download Company Content in digital format, in its entirety, or excerpts thereof, for use or uploading on another social media, email, website or a digital marketing platform that is not a direct competitor to the Company. You acknowledge that we will aggressively enforce our intellectual property rights with respect to Company Content to the fullest extent of the law, including, without limitation, seeking criminal prosecution when appropriate. (b) Liquidated Damages. If you (i) use any Company Content in any way that is not expressly authorized by this Agreement, or (ii) retain any Company Content past termination of this Agreement and continue to use such Company Content in breach of this Agreement, or (iii) materially breach your obligations under Section 2.4 above (any of (i)-(iii) is a “Company Content Breach“), in addition to immediately ceasing such conduct, you shall pay to the Company an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the monthly purchase price of the Services divided by thirty (30) for each business day a Company Content Breach continues (the “Liquidated Damages“). The Company and you intend that the Liquidated Damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty. The Company and you acknowledge and agree that the harm caused by a Company Content Breach would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate as of the Effective Date, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a Company Content Breach. The foregoing sets forth your sole liability and entire obligation and our exclusive remedy for any Company Content Breach. 2.5 Content Transfer upon Termination. If this Agreement is terminated, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with you to assist you in transferring Your Content to a new website or a third party you designate in a format mutually acceptable to you and the Company. You shall pay the Company’s customary hourly charges for this assistance; and the assistance shall be rendered in good faith after the Company estimates the charges that will be payable for the assistance and after you pay the estimated charges, subject to any agreement between the Company and a third party paying for the Services on your behalf, if any. The Company’s duty in this regard shall cease fifteen (15) days after termination. You acknowledge that if you do not take action to accomplish the transfer within that time period, Your Content may no longer be available. 2.6 Important Financial and Other Disclosures.  You acknowledge and agree that you will not receive, and we do not provide, any professional advisory services, or any investment advisory or financial planning services, including investment supervisory or investment management services, investment recommendations.  The Company is neither a law firm nor accounting firm, and no portion of the Services, the Company Platform or Company Content should be construed as legal or accounting advice.  It is your exclusive responsibility to review and evaluate the Company Content and to determine whether to accept or reject any portion thereof and correspondingly determine whether any professional advisor, investment adviser or investment advisory service is appropriate for your individual situation (of which we have and express no knowledge or opinion). We express no opinion as to whether any of the services offered by any professional advisor or registered investment adviser is appropriate for anyone’s investment portfolio, strategy, financial situation, or investment objective(s).

  1. BILLING AND PAYMENT
6.1 Third-Party Arrangements.  If you are accessing the Services through an arrangement by which a third party makes payment for you, your payment obligations will be to such third party.  We will invoice the third party directly, and they will make payment to us; however, if the third party fails to make timely payment to us, we reserve the right to pursue payment and collections efforts directly against you.  If you wish to terminate or make changes to the Services, you will need to work through the third party, who will make arrangements with us for termination of the Services or payment of any additional fees due for your changes to the Services. 6.2 Taxes.  All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, levies, and/or duties, including value-added taxes (“VAT”) imposed by taxing authorities. You are responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, VAT, and/or duties, even if such amounts are not listed in the Agreement. If you are subject to GST, all fees are exclusive of GST. If you are required to deduct or withhold any tax, you must pay the amount deducted or withheld as required by law and pay us an additional amount so that we receive payment in full as if there were no deduction or withholding. (Sections 6.3 through 6.8 apply to you only if you are paying the Company directly.) 6.3 Payment and Interest.  Except as expressly set forth in an applicable Order Form or in this Agreement, you will pay all fees set forth in the Order pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and you hereby authorize us to charge the credit card you indicate in the Order for such purpose.  You hereby authorize the Company to setup your account within a monthly recurring billing system where your credit card will be billed on a monthly basis for all Services that are rendered on a recurring basis, such as certain of the Software Services. You hereby authorize the Company to bill your credit card on a one-time basis for all Services that are rendered on a one-time basis, such as certain of the Professional Services. The foregoing authorizations shall remain in force until cancelled by you in writing.  Any additional provisions governing the amount and timing of payment, including the details related to recurring billing, will be indicated on an applicable Order Form when you sign up for Services. If you fail to make timely payment, the balance of any unpaid amount shall accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month, or the highest amount allowed by law, whichever is less. 6.4 Third-Party Processing. In order to protect the privacy and security of your credit information, we use the services of a third-party processor. You acknowledge that we contract with such third-party processor for these purposes and you hereby grant authorization to share information with such third-party processor as necessary for these purposes. 6.5 Recurring Billing. By submitting an Order for the Services, you authorize us to charge you a fee for your Initial Term (as defined in Section 8) as well as a recurring fee for each subsequent Renewal Term (as defined in Section 8). You also authorize us to charge you any other fees you may incur in connection with your use of the Services as described. 6.6 Pricing. Prices for our Services are generally set forth on our website at https://myrepchat.com or in an Order.  We reserve the right to change our prices at any time and will endeavor to provide you notice of any price increases, delivered to the email associated with your account, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such prices will increase. 6.7 Refunds. Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Order Form, our fees and charges are non-cancellable and any payments made by you are nonrefundable. We may make exceptions in our sole and absolute discretion, and any such exceptions do not entitle you to any future discounts or refunds in the future for similar instances. 6.8 Payment Methods. You may update your payment method information by contacting our customer service department via phone or email as set forth on our website. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds or otherwise, and you do not update your payment method information or cancel your account, you nonetheless will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the payment method, as it may be updated, including in the event you attempt to create a new account. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. If we cannot charge your account, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to terminate your access to the Services, the Company Platform, your Website, or any portion thereof.

  1. TERM AND TERMINATION
8.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement is the period of time that begins on the Order Effective Date specified in the Order and will continue for the period specified in the Order (“Initial Term”) unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement.  In the case of Professional Services, if there is no term specified in the Order, the end date shall be upon completion of Professional Services or earlier termination as permitted by this Agreement.  Following the Initial Term, unless otherwise specified in a written Order Form, or an applicable Service Attachment, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive terms of one (1) year (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either party gives the other party written notice of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Initial Term or any subsequent Renewal Term.  The termination shall be effective on the last day of the applicable Term in which either party delivered such termination notice. If a third party is paying for the Services on your behalf, you must notify the third party, and the third party must notify us of your termination of the Agreement. 8.2 Termination for Breach. The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately if in its reasonable judgment it determines that you are in breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 8.3 Usage as Cancellation. Inno event shall limited usage or no usage of the Services constitute cancellation, notice of cancellation, or entitle you to a refund. 8.4 Early Termination.  In the event you terminate this Agreement with respect to a specific Order Form prior to the expiration of the then current Term, you will be required to pay to the Company an “Early Termination Fee.” If you terminate an Order Form during the Initial Term, the Early Termination Fee shall be equal to the balance of the remaining fees owed to the Company during the Initial Term under such Order Form.  If you terminate an Order Form during any Renewal Term, the Early Termination Fee shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the balance of the remaining fees owed to the Company during such Renewal Term of such Order Form. In the event your early termination of this Agreement results from your execution of a new Order Form for downgraded Services during the Initial Term of an Order Form, the Early Termination Fee will be equal to the difference between (i) the balance of the remaining fees under the original Order Form and (ii) the balance of the remaining fees under the original Order Form, but calculated using the rates in the new Order Form (the “Downgrade Amount”). In the event that a downgrade occurs during a Renewal Term, such Early Termination Fee shall be fifty percent (50%) of the applicable Downgrade Amount. 8.5 Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, the license rights granted by the Company to you shall immediately terminate, and you must immediately cease use of the Services.  Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, or upon our written request at any point, you shall promptly return or destroy all copies of the Company Content, and provide to us a written certification that all copies and modifications in any form have been either returned or destroyed.  Any provision of this Agreement that contemplates performance or observance subsequent to termination or expiration of this Agreement (including, without content and domain transfer obligations, limitation of liability and indemnification) will survive termination or expiration and continue in full force and effect.

  1. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
12.1 Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver if You Live In (or if a Business Your Principal Place of Business Is In) the United States.  We hope we never have a dispute, but if we do, you and we agree to try for sixty (60) days to resolve it informally.  If we can’t, you and we agree to binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and not to sue in a court in front of a judge or jury.  Instead, a neutral arbitrator will decide and the arbitrator’s decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA.  Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, combining individual proceedings without the consent of all parties, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity are expressly prohibited. 12.2 Arbitration Procedure.  The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (or if you are an individual and use the Services for personal or household use, or if the value of the dispute is $75,000 or less whether or not you are an individual or how you use the Services, its Consumer Arbitration Rules).  For more information, see www.adr.org or call 1-800-778-7879.  To start an arbitration, submit the form available at https://www.adr.org/Forms to the AAA and mail a copy to us.  In a dispute involving $25,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead.  Any in-person hearing will take place in your county of residence (or if a business your principal place of business) or our principal place of business–San Diego County, California.  You choose.  The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could.  The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually to satisfy your individual claim. 12.3 Disputes Covered–Everything Except IP.  The term “dispute” is as broad as it can be.  It includes any claim or controversy between you and us concerning the Services, the price of the Services, your account, this Agreement, an Order or billing authorization, under any legal theory including contract, warranty, tort, statute, or regulation, except disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of your, your licensors’, our, or our licensors’ intellectual property rights, or matters described in Section 12.6 below. 12.4 Mail a Notice of Dispute First.  If you have a dispute and our customer service representatives are unable to resolve it, send a Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to MyRepChat, LLC Attn: Legal Department, 18014 S. Figueroa St, Suite 200, Gardena, CA 90248 U.S.A.  Tell us your name, address, how to contact you, what the problem is, and what you want. We’ll do the same if we have a dispute with you.  After sixty (60) days, you or we may start an arbitration if the dispute is unresolved. 12.6 Equitable Relief.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and you acknowledge that a breach by you or us of Sections 1.2(b) (Right to Access and Use the Software Services), 1.4 (Other Restrictions), 2.4 (Company Content), 3.6 (Data Privacy), 7.6 (Prohibited Conduct), 9.1 (Proprietary Rights) and 11 (Confidential Information) may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damages, for which an award of damages would not be adequate compensation and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, injunctive relief, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, in addition to any other remedy to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity. Such remedies will not be deemed to be exclusive but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, subject to any express exclusions or limitations in this Agreement to the contrary.
