These Pincites Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service” or “Terms”) govern access to and use of the Pincites, Inc. (“Pincites,” “we,” or “us”) website, applications, application add-ins or plug-ins (including a Microsoft Word add-in), and other services provided by us (collectively, the “Service”). Website visitors are referred to in these terms as “Site Visitors” and individuals or entities who use the Service or create an account (“Account”) and their Authorized Users are collectively referred to as “Customers”. Customers and Site Visitors may be referred to in these Terms as “you” and “your” as applicable.

These Terms are in addition to, and do not nullify, the Acceptable Use Policy and any other agreement between you and us or any other applicable terms and conditions found on the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Service, you as a Site Visitor or Customer accept and agree to follow and be bound by these Terms (whether on behalf of yourself or a legal entity you represent). You also agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as all rules or restrictions that are posted on the Service. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are not authorized and must cease using the service immediately.

2. About Pincites

Pincites provides software as a service for business users to review their contracts for knowledge management, risk, and data insight.

You understand and agree that Pincites is not a law firm or an attorney, may not perform services performed by an attorney, and is not the substitute for the advice or services of an attorney. Any information contained on the Service is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. No attorney-client relationship or privilege is created with Pincites. If, prior to using the Service, you believe that Pincites gave you any legal advice, opinion or recommendation about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms or strategies, you will not proceed with the use of the Service. If you need legal advice for your specific problem, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.

3. Eligibility

You agree that by using the Service you are at least 18 years of age and you are legally able to enter into a contract.

If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity).

If Pincites has previously prohibited you from accessing the Service, you are not permitted to access or use the Service.

4. Pincites Account

When you create an Account to use or access certain portions of the Service, you must provide complete and accurate information as requested on the registration form, and you must maintain and update such information to keep it complete and accurate. You will also be asked to provide a user name and password. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and are responsible for all activities (whether by you or by others) that occur under your password or Account. You may not use a third party’s Account, user name or password at any time, and you will not allow anyone other than Authorized Users to access or use the Service from your Account. You agree to notify Pincites immediately of any unauthorized use of your account, user name or password. Pincites shall not be liable for any losses you incur as a result of someone else’s use of your account or password, either with or without your knowledge. You may be held liable for any losses incurred by Pincites, our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and representatives due to someone else’s use of your account or password.

You will promptly notify Pincites of any suspected violation of these Terms by an Authorized User and will cooperate with Pincites to address the suspected violation. Pincites may suspend or terminate any Authorized User’s access to the Service upon notice to you in the event that Pincites reasonably determines that such Authorized User violated these Terms.

You shall not use or permit use of the Service for any illegal purpose or in any manner inconsistent with the provisions of these Terms. If you are or become a direct competitor of Pincites, you may not access or use the Service without Pincites’s explicit, advance, written consent, and then only for the purposes authorized in writing.

Pincites may, at any time, freely assign its rights, duties, and obligations hereunder without notice to you.

Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money owed) on account of events beyond the reasonable control of such party, which may include without limitation denial-of-service attacks, strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, terrorism, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes and material shortages, internet connectivity. The party affected by the force majeure event will provide notice to the other party within a commercially reasonable time and will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.

Governing Law. These Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Pincites will be interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of California and the United States of America without regard to any conflict-of-law or other principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. These Terms expressly exclude and disclaim the terms of the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, which shall not apply to any transaction conducted through or otherwise involving the Service.

Entire Agreement. These Terms and any documents expressly incorporated by reference constitute the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between you and Pincites regarding the Service provided under these Terms. These Terms supersede and the parties disclaim any reliance on previous oral and written communications with respect to the subject matter hereof and apply to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. Pincites hereby rejects any additional or conflicting terms appearing in a purchase order or any other ordering materials submitted by you and conditions assent solely based on these Terms and conditions of these Terms as offered by Pincites. Except as explicitly permitted in these Terms, no modification or amendment of these Terms shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized agent of the party against whom the modification or amendment is being asserted.

Waiver. The waiver by either you or Pincites of any breach of any provision of these Terms does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to these Terms to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with these Terms will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of these Terms.

Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid in any respect, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the grant of any license to you under these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the license will immediately terminate.
