Revision: 22.9

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE THE CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU (THE "CUSTOMER" or THE "CLIENT") AND WORKFLOWFIRST SOFTWARE LLC ("COMPANY") RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE STAFF.WIKI (ALSO KNOWN AS STAFFWIKI AND STAFFWIKI AI, ALL REFERRED TO AS THE “SOFTWARE”) AND USE OF THE SOFTWARE THROUGH THE INTERNET (THE "SERVICE"). PLEASE READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR, OR USING, THE SOFTWARE OR THE SERVICE. 

By using the Service provided by COMPANY, CLIENT agrees to be bound by the following Terms of Service. In addition, by using the Software, CLIENT fully understands, accepts and agrees to be bound by the Staff.Wiki License Agreement. 

General 

In connection with the use of the Service, CLIENT agrees to: 

1. obey the law; 

2. obey any codes of conduct or other notices COMPANY provides CLIENT; and 

3. promptly notify COMPANY if CLIENT learns of a security breach related to the service. 

The Software is available either through COMPANY’s Cloud Service or installed On-Premise on CLIENT’s own server machines (hosted by CLIENT). 

When using the Service, CLIENT is solely responsible for all uses of their account under CLIENT’s logins and passwords. CLIENT must protect their users’ passwords.  

Section I. Cloud Service 

Trial 

Upon signing up for the Service, CLIENT may be eligible for a trial period in which CLIENT can use the Service without charge for a period of time (typically 7 days) (“TRIAL PERIOD”) for the purpose of evaluating the suitability of the Service to CLIENT’s needs (the "Trial"). 

Once the TRIAL PERIOD has passed, CLIENT must provide COMPANY valid payment, billing, and contact information to continue use of the Service, otherwise CLIENT’s account and all its data will be permanently removed from the system. 

Should CLIENT provide COMPANY valid payment, billing, and contact information, the trial will automatically switch to a paid account at the end of the TRIAL PERIOD and CLIENT will be charged the subscription amount. CLIENT must contact COMPANY and request to cancel the trial during the TRIAL PERIOD if they wish not to be charged. 

Payment 

CLIENT may use the Service through a subscription with COMPANY, or via a Managed Reseller (as described in Section III herein). This Payment section pertains to CLIENT subscribing to Service with COMPANY.

Where the use of Service is through a subscription directly with COMPANY, COMPANY will bill CLIENT directly. CLIENT access to Service is contingent upon timely payment. 

Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless canceled. CLIENT may cancel the Subscription renewal either through their online account management page or by contacting COMPANY customer support team at least 30 days prior to renewal. 

CLIENT represents and warrants that any payment, billing, and contact information provided to COMPANY is true and that CLIENT is authorized to provide and use such information. CLIENT is responsible for updating their account information on a timely basis with any changes including but not limited to billing address and credit card information that may occur. CLIENT understands and accepts that failure to pay for service will result in suspension or termination of their account and that their data will be removed. The period between failure of payment and suspension or termination of account is entirely at the discretion of COMPANY.

Unless otherwise agreed, upon furnishing payment and billing information, CLIENT hereby authorizes COMPANY (or an authorized payment gateway such as Stripe) to charge CLIENT through credit card in advance on a periodic basis until CLIENT terminates their account. CLIENT further agrees to pay any additional charges that CLIENT may incur including but not limited to additional user licenses, storage and/or bandwidth requirements. After each charge, a payment confirmation notice will be emailed to CLIENT. If CLIENT dispute any charges, CLIENT must let COMPANY know within fifteen (15) days after the date that CLIENT was charged for the service. 

COMPANY, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. COMPANY will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Services after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount. 

Changes To Terms 

COMPANY reserves the right to change the terms and/or prices of the Service. CLIENT will be notified of such changes on COMPANY's website or in an email correspondence to CLIENT at least 30 days before the changes are to take effect. CLIENT’s continued use of the Service after the changes become effective constitutes CLIENT’S agreement to accept the terms and pay any changed amount. 

CLIENT will provide COMPANY contact information, including a postal and email address, where COMPANY may contact CLIENT with information about CLIENT’s account or COMPANY’s products or services. It is CLIENT’s responsibility to ensure that such information is entered correctly and is kept up to date. 

Cloud Service Availability 

While COMPANY will make commercially reasonable effort to ensure the availability of Service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, such availability is not guaranteed. Due to the nature of the Internet, Service capacity limitations, maintenance schedules and any other commercially reasonable factor, COMPANY reserves the right to restrict access to the Service at any time. CLIENT accepts that different tiers of Service have different capacity limitations, and Excessive Usage of the Service may require upgrading to a higher tier at additional expense to CLIENT. Excessive Usage includes any usage of the Service that goes beyond the threshold of the server’s available capacity, including factors such as the number of concurrent users of the Service, the amount of data in the Service in total, and the amount of data retrieved or uploaded to or from the Service. 

CLIENT understands and accepts that COMPANY uses several third-party services ("Third-Party Services") to provide the Service. For example, Amazon AWS, CloudFlare, Stripe, OpenAI and partners/resellers. An outage in any of the Third-Party Services may result in an outage of Service. 

CLIENT agrees to maintain their own regular backup of data on Service (eg. printing policies and reports) in order to mitigate any disruption that a Service outage or unavailability may otherwise incur.

Security

COMPANY provides various mechanisms to help CLIENT secure the data on Service. This includes logins protected with passwords, Single-Sign-On that can utilize multi-factor authentication, as well as limited logging of when users logged in. However, CLIENT understands and accepts that it is CLIENT's (and any associated Managed Resellers) responsibility to protect data in the Software, and that negligence or a misconfiguration of the security settings in the Software may result in unauthorized access, modification or loss of data. CLIENT agrees that COMPANY is not responsible for such a leak, modification or loss of data.

Dedicated Server 

Certain tiers of Service will be served by a Dedicated Server. This Dedicated Server is a virtual server, such as those provided by Amazon’s AWS EC2 service. CLIENT understands and accepts that such virtual servers are not physically isolated and involve resources being shared with other tenants. 

CLIENT understands and accepts that access to the Dedicated Server desktop (or command line) may be granted on a limited basis, with commercially reasonable prior notification, and at a time that is agreed to by both parties, and that access will always be under supervision by COMPANY for security purposes. CLIENT understands that COMPANY will configure the firewall and security access settings such that remote desktop is only available to specific IP addresses ("Authorized Clients"), and that CLIENT will provide a list of Authorized Clients prior to any remote access. CLIENT is responsible for protecting the Dedicated Server from unauthorized access via the provided Authorized Clients. 

CLIENT may provide a domain name for the Service, which CLIENT shall configure in their DNS settings. CLIENT is solely responsible for purchasing and providing an SSL certificate for the Service and updating it prior to expiration. COMPANY will not be able to notify CLIENT when SSL certificates are expiring. 

Use of Content Distribution Network Service

Service may utilize a Content Distribution Network service (CDN) (for example, CloudFlare) for a variety of benefits including in order to help protect against certain types of cyber-attacks, SSL certification, performance enhancement and to reduce the resource load on the COMPANY's servers. CLIENT accepts that access to Service will usually go through the CDN. CLIENT accepts that the caching mechanism provided by the CDN will mean that certain uploaded files and attachments ("file uploads") will be stored temporarily on CDN's servers. CLIENT accepts that the caching mechanism may allow access to cached file uploads independently of the security mechanism and session management of Service. CLIENT accepts that a service interruption by CDN may impact the ability for CLIENT to access the Service. If CLIENT does not wish their Service to utilize a CDN, or CLIENT does not wish to enable caching of file uploads in Service, CLIENT understands they must contact COMPANY to request an alternative arrangement at additional cost.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Services

Service provides certain features that will indicate the use of an AI service ("AI Service"), typically having the feature clearly marked with the term "AI". CLIENT accepts that the features provided in this AI Service are experimental and use an artificial intelligence system provided by a third party. The text of the article associated with the AI function being invoked may be sent to COMPANY, its Managed Resellers and other affiliates, along with a third party  (collectively "Providers"), which they may store and use, as such you may not use the AI Service if there is any possibility that any contents of the article is confidential or should otherwise not be shared. Results provided by the AI Service may be inaccurate, incorrect, incomplete, biased, misleading, offensive, or may contain mistakes, and must be checked and/or corrected prior to using in any way. Results are not endorsed by the Providers. Your use of the AI Service is on an "as is" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. By using the AI Service, you agree to hold Providers harmless for any harm or losses that may arise from its use. Usage of the AI Service will be limited and intermittent, and is currently only available in English.

Backup 

As part of the Service, data stored on Service is recorded as a snapshot backup once per day and this backup is retained for up to 30 days. Additional snapshots are taken monthly and retained on a 6-month rolling basis (depending on Service level). This backup operation is not guaranteed and COMPANY is not responsible for a failure in the backup system. Any request to restore backed-up data may or may not be satisfied and will likely require CLIENT to pay additional fees to complete. 

CLIENT may request an alternative backup schedule, understanding that doing so may incur additional cost for setup and storage. 

Liability 

CLIENT’s use of the Service is at CLIENT’s sole risk. The Service is provided on an AS IS basis. While COMPANY will make commercially reasonable effort to maintain availability of the Service, CLIENT accepts the Service may or may not be available and may not necessarily function as required. COMPANY makes no express or implied warranty of the quality or suitability of the Service for any purpose. COMPANY will make commercially reasonable effort to preserve and protect CLIENT’s data, but makes no guarantees that it won't get lost, corrupted, or inadvertently leaked. CLIENT should regularly back up critical data or take other steps to protect their vital information. 

Support 

As part of the Service, COMPANY provides a basic level of support (“Basic Support”) for the purpose of assisting CLIENT in maximizing their enjoyment of the Service. CLIENT agrees that COMPANY provides an enhanced level of support separately to the Service. COMPANY agrees to assist CLIENT on an as-available basis, including but not limited to email and/or online discussion forums provided by COMPANY. The scope of the Basic Support provided is detailed in Appendix A. 

CLIENT’s use of the Service may involve access to and use of discussion forums and documentation that is made available on COMPANY’s websites. CLIENT agrees that any information CLIENT posts on said website is lawful, that CLIENT have permission to post said information, and that CLIENT understands said information is made available publicly. CLIENT understands and fully accepts and agrees that said information may be incorporated into search results and may be reproduced on other websites without CLIENT’s express permission. CLIENT agrees that COMPANY is not responsible in any way for how the information CLIENT posts is used. 

In order to provide support and maintenance of Service to CLIENT, CLIENT accepts that COMPANY may require access to CLIENT's data stored in Service. CLIENT hereby authorizes COMPANY to access said data for the purpose of providing support and maintenance of Service. 

Termination 

If CLIENT’s account is terminated by COMPANY, CLIENT will be refunded the pro-rated, unearned portion of any amount that CLIENT was charged for Service, minus any additional fees incurred by COMPANY. 

CLIENT may terminate their account at the end of the current subscription period. Prior to cancellation, COMPANY may make an export of CLIENT’s data available to CLIENT if CLIENT requests and COMPANY chooses to do so. If CLIENT’s account is terminated by CLIENT, CLIENT will not be refunded the subscription period that has been paid. 

CLIENT expressly agrees that COMPANY WILL NOT be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if COMPANY has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use the Service; (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods or services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained through or from COMPANY; (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of CLIENT’s transmissions or data; (iv) statements or conduct of any third party on the Services; (v) termination of CLIENT’s account; or (vi) any other matter relating to the Service. If CLIENT is not satisfied with the Service, CLIENT’s sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using it. IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY BE LIABLE TO CLIENT FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT THAT CLIENT HAVE ACTUALLY PAID COMPANY RELATING TO THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO CLIENT’S CLAIM. COMPANY reserves the right to modify the Service at any time. 

CLIENT will indemnify, defend and hold COMPANY, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and service providers from any claim or cause of action of any kind whatsoever arising out of (a) any data, information or materials of any kind that are input or uploaded to the Service using CLIENT’s account, and (b) CLIENT’s use of the Service. 

From time to time CLIENT may give COMPANY suggestions or feedback about the Service. If CLIENT does so, CLIENT hereby grant COMPANY an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license to use such suggestions or feedback for any purpose. 

COMPANY reserves the right to modify these terms of service at any time upon notice to CLIENT, either through mail (written or electronic) or on COMPANY’s website. CLIENT agrees that any use of the Service after said modification will constitute CLIENT’s acceptance of those modified terms of service. 

COMPANY will have the right to assign this Agreement to an affiliate of COMPANY at any time without notice.
