TERMS OF USE

Welcome to the DicksonOne Site. Dickson/Unigage Inc. and/or its affiliates (“Dickson,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provide the DicksonOne Site, the Dickson Content and the Services to the customer specified on the Order Form (“you”) subject to the following terms of use (these “Terms of Use”). By clicking the “I Accept,” “I Agree” or similar button or check box presented with these Terms of Use (or a link hereto) or, if earlier, when you use the DicksonOne Site or any of the Services, you accept these Terms of Use. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the definition provided when such term is first used herein or at the end of these Terms of Use.

1. USE OF THE DICKSONONE SITE, THE DICKSON CONTENT AND THE SERVICES

  1. Access. During the Term, and subject in all respects to these Terms and Conditions (including, without limitation, terms regarding suspension of the Services), you may access and use the DicksonOne Site, the Dickson Content and the Services in accordance with these Terms of Use.
  2. Your Account. To access the Services, you must create an account associated with at least one valid e-mail address. You may only create one account per email address. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, regardless of whether the activities are undertaken with your consent or authorization. Accordingly, you must take appropriate precautions to maintain the confidentiality of your user name, password and any other credentials that may be used to access your account. You will contact us immediately if you believe an unauthorized third party may be using your account or if your account credentials are lost or stolen.
  3. Connectivity. You are responsible for planning, directing, supervising, obtaining and maintaining, at your sole expense, the system design, programming, and implementation, including all hardware, software, equipment, data loggers and services (including, without limitation, telecommunication services) that you require to access and use the DicksonOne Site, the Dickson Content and the Services. We are not responsible for and have no liability with respect to design or implementation of the system or selection of appropriate computer hardware or software, including for the selection, purchase, maintenance or proper functioning of any such hardware, software, equipment, data loggers and services; provided that nothing herein limits our responsibilities regarding any Product arising under the purchase agreement relating thereto. You are responsible for your own configurations, programming, and costs. We are not responsible for any lack of connectivity between your company network and the Internet, wherever the user is located.
  4. Monitoring Systems. You acknowledge and agree that the Services may fail from time to time, and that you use the DicksonOne Site, the Dickson Content, and the Services at your sole risk. Accordingly, we strongly recommend that you obtain and implement robust environmental monitoring systems of which the Services and any related Products are merely a part and which are designed to ensure that no Inventory is lost, damaged or otherwise harmed or compromised in any way as a result of any failure of the Services or any such Product. We shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever for any loss or compromise of or damage or harm to, or that otherwise relates in any way to, any Inventory.
    1. Notification Service Substitution. We may sever from the Services your SMS and voice alerts (a “Notification Service Substitution”). This is ordinarily due to prohibitive SMS and voice alert expense levels in affected regions, but this is not the only reason and we reserve the Notification Service Substitution right based in our sole discretion. In the event of a Notification Service Substitution, you will need to (i) acquire and successfully configure an equivalent SMS and voice alert account and services at your sole cost and (ii) we will no longer be responsible for the cost of your SMS and voice alert services or the services in providing SMS and voice alerts to you.
    2. Notification of Change. We may institute a Notification Service Substitution at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. In doing so, we will be exercising a contract right and this exercise does not require a modification of these Terms of Use or your acceptance thereof.
  5. Support. We will make reasonable efforts to provide you basic technical and usage support for DicksonOne products via telephone and email. (We will determine, in our sole discretion, what constitutes basic support.) Any additional advanced support, including customized account setup and configuration and any other support that we deem in our sole discretion to be outside the scope of the basic support, may be provided, at our sole discretion, for an additional fee. We may access your DicksonOne Site account at any time and from time to time to provide requested support and assistance and for any other purpose as contemplated hereunder. We do not provide support for services provided by the substitute notification provider.
  6. Third Party Materials. We may provide access to or information regarding third-party websites, products, services, or resources. We shall not be responsible in any way for or in connection with, and we do not endorse or recommend, any such website or any related content or Product.
  7. Acceptable Use. You may not use, or encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to use, the Services, the Dickson Content or the DicksonOne Site for any illegal, harmful or offensive purpose or to transmit, store, display, distribute or otherwise make available content that is illegal, harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, or offensive or that violates the intellectual property or other rights of any person. We reserve the right to remove, disable access to or modify any materials or content that, in our sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject us to liability, may violate these Terms of Use or are, in our sole discretion, inconsistent with the purpose of the DicksonOne Site. We may report any activity that we suspect violates any law or regulation to appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators or other appropriate third parties. We may also cooperate with law enforcement agencies, regulators or other appropriate third parties to help with the investigation and prosecution of illegal conduct by providing customer, network, and systems information.

2. CHANGES TO THE SERVICES

We may change, modify, or discontinue any part or all of the Services, the Dickson Content or the DicksonOne Site, or change or remove features or functionality of any of the foregoing, at any time and from time to time. We may set limitations on the amount of notifications sent from your system. YOU WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES RECEIVE ANY REFUND OF FEES PAID HEREUNDER AS A RESULT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CHANGE, MODIFICATION, DISCONTINUATION, REMOVAL OR ADDITION.

3. SECURITY AND DATA PRIVACY

  1. Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy https://www.dicksondata.com/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”), which describes our data collection and use.
  2. Security. The DicksonOne Site has, what we believe to be, reasonable security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information, data and other Content uploaded to or stored or otherwise available on the DicksonOne Site. However, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of such information, data or Content or that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining such information, data or Content. You are responsible for properly configuring and using the Services and taking your own steps to maintain appropriate security, protection and backup of the data you upload to or store on the DicksonOne Site, which may include routine archiving of Your Content.

4. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS

  1. Fees. The Fees are specified on the Dickson invoice. You will pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms of use.
  2. Subscription.
    1. You may elect to purchase a subscription to the Services on a monthly, annual, three-year or five-year term.
    2. We will invoice you for the amount of the applicable Fee when you purchase (or renew) your subscription, and you will pay such invoice within thirty (30) days. At or before the end of your annual subscription (including, without limitation, any renewal thereof), we will notify you of the terms (including, without limitation, the then-current Fees) under which you may renew your annual subscription for another year (or we will notify you that we elect not to offer any such renewal).
    3. In the event of a Notification Service Substitution, there will be no reduction in your Fees.
  3. Monthly Data Logger Charge. You will be charged a fee of $18/month for each of the first five data loggers and $6/month for each data logger above five connected to the DicksonOne Compliant service.
  4. Annual Data Logger Charge. You will be charged a fee of $999/year for the first five data loggers and $60/year for each data logger above five connected to the DicksonOne Compliant service.
  5. Terms. All payments due under these Terms of Use will be made without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. Late fees will accrue at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, if less) on all payments that are past due. You will promptly pay (or, at our option, reimburse us for) any sales, use, excise or other tax, assessment or governmental fee relating in any way to the Services, the Dickson Content or the DicksonOne Site, other than taxes based on our net income.
  6. Early Termination Fee. Should you not complete the term of your agreement (3 years or 5 years), you will be responsible to repay the amount of the discount received on the initial data logger purchase. This fee will be charged to the credit card used for the monthly data logger charge or invoiced upon notice of termination by the customer.
  7. Liability for Fees. Fees due under these Terms of Use are typically the responsibility of the subscribing entity and not the individual user accepting these terms. However, you will be held personally liable for such fees if you are the sole proprietor or the predominant owner of the entity subscribing to the Services. In such a case, you are considered the subscribing entity and are directly responsible for Fees under these Terms and will be liable for Fees in the event the subscribing entity fails to pay.

5. SUSPENSION

We may suspend your access to or use of any portion or all of the DicksonOne Site, the Dickson Content or the Services immediately upon notice to you if we believe: (a) your use of or registration for the DicksonOne Site, the Dickson Content or the Services (i) poses a security risk to the DicksonOne Site, the Dickson Content or the Services or any third party, (ii) may adversely impact the DicksonOne Site or the Services or the systems or content of any other Dickson customer, (iii) may subject us, our affiliates, or any third party to liability, or (iv) may be fraudulent; or (b) you are in breach of these Terms of Use, including if you are delinquent on your payment obligations. Suspension hereunder in no way limits or otherwise affects your payment obligations. Our right to suspend your use of the Services, the DicksonOne Site or the Dickson Content is in addition to (and in no way limits or conditions) our right to terminate your right to access or use any of the foregoing as provided in these Terms of Use.

6. TERMINATION

  1. Right to Terminate. Upon notice to you, we may terminate (or elect not to renew) your subscription to the Services, effective as of the end of your then-current monthly or annual subscription. Additionally, we may terminate your subscription immediately upon notice to you at any time upon any occurrence or event, or the satisfaction of any condition, that would authorize us to suspend the Services. You may terminate your subscription at any time upon notice to us. Termination will not entitle you to any refund of Fees paid hereunder. Upon termination of your subscription, we may prevent your access to or use of the DicksonOne Site, the Dickson Content and the Services. We may, but will not be obligated to, retain Your Content. If we retain Your Content, we will make it reasonably available to you upon request (provided that you are not in breach hereof).
  2. Obligations Upon Termination. Upon any termination as described above: (a) you will remain responsible for all Fees you have incurred through the date of termination; and (b) you will immediately return or, if instructed by us, destroy all Dickson Confidential Information in your possession or under your control or in the possession or under the control of any of your affiliates. Any provision of these Terms of Use that by their nature extend beyond the termination of your account or access or use of the Services or the DicksonOne Site (including, without limitation, provisions regarding proprietary rights, indemnification, limits of liability, disclaimers of warranties, confidentiality, and Product Terms) shall survive such termination and shall remain in effect and enforceable.
