When you register with us to use the Services, you will be asked to provide certain information, including your mailing address, telephone number, and email address.  You will promptly notify us of any change in the information you provide during your registration for the Services.

 

5.                  PREMIUM SERVICES

 

a.                  Account

 

If you subscribe to our Premium Services, we will establish one online document storage and backup account in your name on RGP servers (the “Account”).  In your use of the Services, you are responsible for providing the following: (i) all equipment, such as a computer and modem, necessary to access the internet; (ii) your own access to the internet; and (iii) payment of all telephone or other fees associated with internet access.  The Software and Application provide an extensive range of features.  It is possible that one or more of these features may not be available at certain times.  You are solely responsible for the content of all data you store or retrieve from, or attempt to store or retrieve from, your Account, regardless of whether such data originates from you, your Users, Participants, or any third parties.

 

b.                  Account Access

 

Subject to (i) your acceptance of these Terms of Service, (ii) our acceptance of your registration, and, (iii) the payment of any upfront fees for your Premium Services, you will receive a confirmation via email that your Account has been established.  This confirmation email will contain the required activation keys to utilize your Account.  You are solely responsible for any consequences arising out of your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your Account activation key.  You agree to notify us of any unauthorized use or other breach in security of your Account immediately after you learn of the same.

 

c.                   Encryption and Encryption Key

 

Your Account and stored documents for Premium Services are encrypted through a private encryption key that you will select when creating your Account.  RGP does not have access to this user-defined key as it is not stored on RGP servers.  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU STORE THIS KEY IN A SAFE PLACE AND MAINTAIN THE KEY IN PRINTED FORM FOR EASY REFERENCE.  ANY DATA BACKED UP USING OUR PREMIUM SERVICES CAN ONLY BE RETRIEVED USING THIS KEY.  IF YOU FORGET OR MISPLACE THIS KEY, THEN YOUR DATA MAY NOT BE RETRIEVABLE.  YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF DATA ARISING THEREFROM.

 

The private key based encryption process encrypts the data contained within the file and not the file name itself.  If you are installing the RGP application on a fresh machine, re-enter the encryption key correctly. IF YOU ENTER AN INCORRECT ENCRYPTION PASSWORD KEY, YOUR DATA WILL NOT BE RETRIEVED CORRECTLY.

 

d.                  Our Access to Your Account

 

We will endeavor to restrict access to the data and files you store or retrieve from your Account to persons accessing such data and files through use of your Account. However, it may be necessary to access your Account for support requirements.  It may also be necessary to access your Account to verify that your Account is not being misused, especially with respect to digital copyright laws and resource misuse checks.

 

e.                  Fees

 

If you are subscribed to the Premium Services, you authorize a recurring monthly or annual charge to your credit or debit card on file in exchange for use of the Premium Services as indicated by published standard plans or a customized quote provided for your specific use.  You also agree that plans for Premium Services auto-renew unless cancelled by you.  You understand and agree that refunds for subscription charges are non-refundable.  In addition, we will not issue any pro-rated refunds for the remaining period during the month when an account with a monthly subscription plan is downgraded to a less expensive plan during the month. The rate applicable to the new plan will instead be charged starting the subsequent month after the downgrade is elected by you.

 

f.                    Taxes 
 

Except as otherwise stated, if and to the extent any payments due by you to RGP are subject to any applicable valid added, goods and services, sales, use, consumption, or other similar taxes imposed by a governmental authority, whether federal, state, local, or non-U.S. ("Taxes"), arising from RGP's performance of the Services and for which you are liable under Applicable Law, RGP shall charge and you shall pay to RGP such Taxes; provided, that such Taxes are separately stated and identified by jurisdiction on a valid tax invoice that includes the Services that are subject to such tax.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, RGP will not invoice you for Taxes where you provide RGP with a valid direct pay or tax exemption certificate.

 

6.                  RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF SOFTWARE, APPLICATION, AND SERVICES

d.                  Our Access and Use of Your Data

 

i.                   Data Processing

 

If, and only if, RGP processes Personal Information on your behalf in the course of providing the Services, RGP and you, respectively, agree to comply with the terms of the Data Processing Addendum, which shall be incorporated into these Terms of Service.

 

ii.                   Security

 

To protect Your Data, RGP shall (i) implement and maintain administrative, technical, physical, and organizational safeguards regarding security, continuation, backup, and disaster-recovery that are consistent with industry standards and practices and comply with Applicable Law, including Data Protection Laws, in connection therewith, and (ii) only access and use your Systems to the extent necessary to provide or improve the Services.

 

iii.                   Usage Restrictions  

 

Except as (i) expressly permitted in these Terms of Service, (ii) requested or approved in writing by you (email to suffice), including in connection with any customer support matters, (iii) in order to provide or improve the Services, including to prevent or address any service or technical problems, (iv) in order to develop and test new features and services, or (v) compelled by law in accordance with Section 12(d) (Compelled Disclosure), RGP shall not access or modify Your Data, or disclose Your Data to any third-party.

Upon any termination of these Terms of Service, we will provide you with a software program to remove Your Data from the RGP servers (the “Removal Tool”) by sending the Removal Tool to your email address that you have provided to us.  You will have fourteen (14) days from the date of the termination notice to download your stored files from the RGP servers using the Removal Tool, after which we will remove your stored data files from main storage and archives.

 

v.                   Backups of Your Data  

 

As part of the Premium Service, RGP offers an optional, online backup service.  Please note that you are responsible for configuring the Software for proper backup of Your Data.  You are also responsible for confirming that the online backup ran as scheduled.  RGP maintains regular backups of data to recover from software or hardware failures.  RGP keeps a copy of data at a geographically distanced data center from the primary location for additional protection.  However, we advise you to audit your logs periodically for the desktop application completely, including individual entries for files and total count to ensure that the backups are taking place successfully and in case of errors, take corrective action.  We require periodic review, at least on a weekly basis, to verify the execution of backups as backups could fail for any number of reasons, including but not limited to, internet connectivity issues, authentication issues, firewalls, blocks by anti-virus programs, and system configuration changes to the computer.  Also, it is important to upgrade the Software from time to time to the most recent version for improved reliability and functioning of the backup application. ‘Version Number’ (if applicable) and ‘Release Dates’ are posted on respective product download pages.  Out-of-date versions of the Software may lead to unreliable functioning of the Software and RGP will have no responsibility or liability therefor.

 

vi.                   Use of Aggregated Anonymous Data  

 

Notwithstanding anything in these Terms of Service to the contrary, RGP may (i) collect and process information to generate and process Aggregated Anonymous Data, and (ii) freely use and make available Aggregated Anonymous Data for the purpose of (A) improving, testing, maintaining, and operating the Software, Application, and Services, (B) developing future products and services, and (C) marketing and promoting the Software, Application, and Services, and any future products and services, to other customers and potential customers.  RGP is and shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to all Aggregated Anonymous Data, including all intellectual property rights related thereto, and may freely use all Aggregated Anonymous Data during the term of these Terms of Service and thereafter, without compensation or notice to, or approval of, you.

 

8.                  USE OF DIGITAL WAIVER STATIONS

 

As part of the Premium Services, RGP provides a method for obtaining and storing waivers of liability in a purely digital format, without the need for paper files.  Digital waivers of liability are stored remotely by RGP for you separately from your backup data.  Although RGP may from time to time provide you with standardized digital waivers of liability for you to use, the laws regarding waivers of liability vary from state to state.  We are not a provider of legal services or legal advice, and it is important that you consult with your own lawyer to determine the legal enforceability of the waiver of liability form that you use.  In particular, you, not us, is responsible for determining the legal enforceability of any digital waivers of liability, including their compliance with The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN, Pub. L. No. 106-229, 14 Stat. 464, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), as the UETA may be adopted in your state.  You understand and agree that we do not directly facilitate signatures or otherwise interact with any Participant in any manner as part of this digital waiver service.  The collection, review, and management of digital waiver signatures is strictly your responsibility.

 

9.                  PAYMENT PROCESSING

 

If you elect to use our payment processing services, you will be charged third-party payment processing fees incurred through the use of such services. Such fees are separate from, and in addition to, your monthly fees for your subscription.

 

10.              MODIFICATIONS TO SOFTWARE, APPLICATION, OR SERVICES 

 

RGP reserves the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to modify the Software, Application, or Services, or any part thereof, subject to these Terms of Service.

Each of RGP and you, respectively, hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information constitutes unique and valuable assets of the Disclosing Party.  Each of RGP and you, respectively, each further acknowledges that, because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information, monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the Disclosing Party for any breach by the Receiving Party of its covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 12.  Accordingly, each of RGP and you, respectively, agrees and acknowledges that any violation of the terms of this Section 12 may cause irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party and, therefore, that in addition to any other legal remedies or equitable relief available to the Disclosing Party for any breach of this Section 12, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek, from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, specific performance in the form of injunctive relief to prevent, inhibit, or enjoin any actual, suspected, or threatened violation of the terms of this Section 12 by the Receiving Party or its Representatives, without the necessity of posting a bond.

a.                  UNLESS YOU OPT OUT BY FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE BELOW, YOU AND WE AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM.  OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

 

b.                  ANY CLAIM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO (I) THE SOFTWARE, APPLICATION, OR YOUR ACCOUNT, (II) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE SALE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, OR (III) THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.  

 

c.                   The following processes shall govern the arbitration process:

 

i.                   Before commencing an arbitration hereunder, you agree to inform us of the nature of the Claim and the relief you seek by sending an email to legal@togetherwork.com so stating.

 

ii.                   Within seven (7) business days, we will contact you and thereafter you and we will attempt to resolve the Claim in a satisfactory way.

 

iii.                   If, following these attempts at exploring a resolution, you intend to proceed with an arbitration, you and we will seek to reach an agreement on the selection of an arbitrator to hear and decide the dispute and how it will be heard, including whether to submit the dispute to the arbitrator only in written form or by proceedings conducted via video or in-person.

 

iv.                   In the event that you and we cannot agree on an arbitrator, the process set forth in the Delaware Uniform Arbitration Act for the appointment of a single arbitrator (10 Del. C. 1953, § 5704) will be followed. That process allows for a court to select an arbitrator. The arbitration will then proceed and be under the jurisdiction of the arbitrator so selected. 

 

v.                   You may opt out of this arbitration agreement through the following process.  To opt out, you must notify us in writing no later than thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement, which is the date you first use our Services.  Your notice must include your name and mailing address, your username and the email address you used to set up your Account, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.  Send your notice to: legal@togetherwork.com.  In the event of a dispute between you and us, to invoke your opt-out right, you must retain a copy of your opt-out notice.

 

d.                  The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the terms of this arbitration provision or these Terms of Service are void, voidable, or otherwise invalid.  The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity.  Any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of RGP and you and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

e.                  RGP and you will share in the cost of the arbitration fees.  Each of RGP and you, respectively, will be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees, but the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.

 

f.                    If you have informed us of the nature of the Claim and the relief you seek by email to legal@togetherwork.com, and we are unable to resolve the Claim in a satisfactory way, you may elect to pursue your Claim in small claims court rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intention to do so no later than sixty (60) days from the date on which we receive your email informing us of the nature of the Claim and the relief sought.

 

g.                  Any arbitration or small claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy.

 

h.                  If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

 

i.                     Notwithstanding RGP’s and your decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either of RGP and you, respectively, may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations, or Claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights).
