Checkout Professional™
Monthly Subscription and Support Agreement
This Checkout Professional Monthly Subscription and Support Agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective on the date of account creation (“Effective Date”) between the Customer and Provaya, LLC. (“Provaya”), a Colorado limited liability company, and (“Customer”), as detailed in new account online form, (individually “Party”, collectively “Parties”).
1. SCOPE
This Agreement establishes the terms and conditions to which Provaya and Customer agrees to subscribe for use of Checkout Professional, a product of Provaya designed as a point of sale solution for retail customers. Customer’s right to use Checkout Professional is expressly subject to acceptance of the terms of this Agreement and may be subject to certain terms of separate agreements between Provaya and third parties including, but not limited to, the terms of any applicable merchant service provider agreement(s). This Agreement and its Exhibits apply to, as appropriate, the (i) Single User Trial Period; (ii) non-trial Single User subscription; and (iii) Multi-User subscription of Checkout Professional, as well as other customized versions of Checkout Professional, if appropriate (individual “Version”, collectively “Versions”). The attached Exhibit A sets out the current fee structure, which may be modified from time to time as described in this Agreement.
2. TRIAL
A. Single User No Cost Trial Period
Customer can assess Checkout Professional as a Single User at no cost for a period of up to thirty (30) days. The free trial will begin at the time of account creation. At any time before the end of the thirty (30) day Single User Trial, Customer can cancel its Checkout Professional account and will not be charged. If Customer does not cancel on or before the end of the thirty (30) day Trial, Customer will be charged the Single User Monthly fee on the calendar month anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement each month until termination, which charge shall automatically post to Customer’s credit card account. If Customer desires Multi-User access to Checkout Professional at any time during the thirty (30) day trial, Customer can elect Multi-User status on the Checkout Professional website. Said election will terminate the free trial and will create a Multi-User account for Customer which account will be billed the regular Multi-User monthly fee on that date and on the same day each calendar month thereafter.
B. Limitations on Single User Trial
Customer hereby acknowledges that the Checkout Professional Trial Period is only for Single User status. There is no Multi-User free trial for Checkout Professional. Furthermore, the use of Checkout Professional during the Trial Period will not entitle customer to keep and use the data entered into Checkout Professional during the Trial Period, unless Customer subsequently purchases a subscription for either the Single or Multi-user versions of Checkout Professional. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER DISCLAIMERS HEREIN, YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY DISSATISFACTION WITH OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THE TRIAL AND CEASE USE OF THE SOFTWARE.
C. Regular Subscription
Customer may subscribe for Single-User or Multi-User access to Checkout Professional at any time. All subscriptions allow Customer to access and use the full functionality of the subscribed Version for both point of sale and back office applications. In addition, any subscription provides a limited,
revocable, non-exclusive license to use the subscribed Version each month with all inclusions described therein, so long as the fees described in the same Exhibit A are timely paid by Customer by charge to Customer’s credit card. Failure to make timely payment as a result of incorrect or outdated credit card information will result in a notice to Customer stating that the fee is due. If Customer’s account is not updated with correct credit card information within five (5) days thereafter, Customer’s Checkout Professional account will be shut down, and Customer will no longer have access to the data therein. Customer may terminate this Agreement and receive its all of its data from Checkout Professional as described below.
3. CUSTOMER DATA SECURITY
A. Dedicated Server Space
Provaya uses partitioned space for each Customer on an outside vendor’s web hosting server to assure the industry standard level of security for Customer data. Microsoft Azure, Provaya’s web hosting provider, is SSAE 16 / ISAE 3402 Type II SOC 1 Certified. Provaya’s agreement with Rackspace guarantees 100% network uptime, outside of scheduled maintenance and provides Customer with a secondary off-site backup of all data, which is provided consistently and incrementally.
B. Encryption
Provaya uses 128-bit level encryption, and secure, individualized directories, which means only Customer has access Customer’s information. The ____________ ISO 27001 certified Information Security Management System (ISMS) certifies the management of information security. Furthermore, Provaya’s server-farm host is a PCI DSS Level 1 facility.
C. Notification
Provaya will notify Customer promptly if Provaya becomes aware of any data or security breach involving Customer’s data.
4. PROPERTY OF PROVAYA – LIMITATIONS OF LICENSE
A subscription for access to Checkout Professional provides a right to use Checkout Professional for a period of time but does not convey ownership in Checkout Professional or in any of its code, subparts or functionality. Furthermore, Checkout Professional contains Provaya trade secrets, and Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce Checkout Professional to human-perceivable form or disable any functionality which limits the use of Checkout Professional. You may not modify, adapt, translate, rent or sublicense (including offering Checkout Professional to third parties on an applications service provider or time-sharing basis), assign, loan, resell for profit, or provide your log-in credentials, or create derivative works based upon Checkout Professional or any part thereof.
5. TERMINATION
This month to month Agreement may be terminated by Provaya for an Uncured Default, as described below, or upon notice from Customer, which shall be effective as described herein. An Uncured Default is defined as a failure of Customer to keep its credit card information current in the system such that Customer can be charged its regular monthly fee. Provaya may terminate this agreement upon five (5) days’ notice if the credit card information is not updated such that the default can be cured by making the monthly fee payment. Customer may terminate this Agreement by logging in and canceling the subscription via the customer portal at www.Provaya.com. Monthly contract fees will not be prorated, final termination of this contract occurs at end of paid services when cancelation is Customer initiated. If the Agreement is terminated pursuant to Customer notice, Customer data can be extracted from Checkout Professional by the export or reporting tools available within. In addition to the previous termination provisions, if Provaya, in its sole discretion, determines that Checkout Professional is being
used to conduct illegal activities of any kind, Provaya has the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and without refund for any unused days.
