Ā 

B. General.

CTH Commerce grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable limited license to use CTH Commerce and related resources in accordance with these Terms of Use. You agree not to infringe our intellectual property and the intellectual property of any third parties with whom we have partnerships, and you will comply with the terms of any applicable license agreements.

Weā€™d love for you to use CTH Commerce, but youā€™re just using it. We still own it.

You agree that any notices, disclosures, agreements and other communications that we may deliver or communicate to you from time to time comply with the terms of any applicable electronic documents legislation, including the requirement that such documents be in writing, are capable of being retrieved, reviewed, printed and stored for further use by you.

You can print this if you want to keep it, right?

Electronic Delivery

By accepting this Agreement, you agree and consent to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, notices and disclosures (collectively, ā€œCommunicationsā€) that we provide in connection with your Account and your use of the Service. Communications include but are not limited to:

  1. agreements and policies, such as this Agreement and our Privacy Policy, including updates thereto;
  2. annual disclosures;
  3. transaction receipts or confirmations;
  4. communication in relation to delinquent accounts (which may also be by phone, and may be made by CTH Commerce or by anyone on its behalf, including a third party collection agent);
  5. Account statements and history; and
  6. federal and state tax statements.

Weā€™re going to communicate electronically with you. Take a look in the other section for some examples of what might be included.

We will provide these Communications to you by emailing them to you at the primary email address listed in your Account registration, by emailing you a link or instructions how to access them on a website, or (if permitted by law) by posting them on the Website. Communications are considered received by you within 24 hours of the time they are emailed to you or posted to our Website. You further agree that your electronic signature has the same effect as your manual, physical signature.

I hope this doesnā€™t come as too much of a surprise, but when we say communicate electronically, we mean email.

By giving your consent, you are confirming that you are able to receive, open, and print or download a copy of any Communications for your records. It is important for you to retain copies of Communications because they may not be accessible in your Account at a later date.

Itā€™s your responsibility to ensure you can communicate by email.

How to Withdraw Your Consent

You may withdraw your consent to receive Communications electronically by contacting us through Customer Support or as outlined in our Privacy Policy. If you withdraw your consent to receive Communications electronically, CTH Commerce may deny your registration for an Account, restrict or close your Account, or charge you additional fees for paper copies.

If you decide that we can no longer communicate by email, let us know and weā€™ll stop. If that happens, we might not be able to work together anymore.

Collaboration

You may provide access to certain apps to authorized users (called Guest Collaborators). An authorized user is someone designated by you via the Guest Collaborator functionality available in CTH Commerce. Such authorized users may have access to your account information and perform various tasks as instructed by you which include but are not limited to creating invoices, categorizing transactions, and any other lawful tasks that you may prescribe. If you administer your CTH Commerce account on behalf of a business or corporation, you represent and warrant that you have the right to provide access to your Guest Collaborators.

CTH Commerce may, without notice or liability, add, discontinue or revise any aspect, mode or design of the Services which include but not limited to the scope of service, time of service, or to the software/hardware required for access to the Services. CTH Commerce may also limit the geographic locations or jurisdictions where certain Services may be available.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, should there be a failure of or error, omission, defect, deficiency, delay causing downtime, or inability of a subscriber to access the Services for any length of time, including as a result of the permanent termination of service, the subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise set out herein, its only remedy for any error, omission, defect, deficiency, delay or other failure of CTH Commerce or the Services whatsoever is to discontinue using CTH Commerce and the Services.

You assume sole responsibility for and shall ensure that any information, data, documents or materials used, disclosed, entered into or created using CTH Commerce or in connection with the Services is accurate, reliable and complete and does not violate our content guidelines. You authorize us and our service providers and their vendors and subcontractors to monitor your website and your use of the Services. You represent and warrant that you have obtained all required consents and comply with all applicable legislation, including without limitation privacy legislation, in connection with any use and disclosure of information relating to the use of CTH Commerce and the Services. CTH Commerce accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of any information, data, documents or materials entered into or created using CTH Commerce or the Services except as otherwise set out herein. The input, posting or uploading of any information and the storage of any information, data, documents or materials on the Service by us does not constitute our endorsement nor warranty as to the compliance of such information or materials with applicable legislation, nor to the accuracy, timeliness, materiality, completeness, or reliability of such information or materials.

Ā 

Other Information You Provide Us

While using the Services, we may also collect information from you about someone else. If you provide us with personal information about someone else, you are obligated to ensure that you are authorized to disclose that information to us, and that we, without further action, may collect, use, and disclose that information for the purposes described in this policy.

CTH Commerce may require you to assist with any requests by the individual to access or update their information, and you agree to do so.

Ā 

C. Conditions of Usage.

You agree to use CTH Commerce and the Services for the purposes that they were intended and only in accordance with the terms of this agreement.

If you register an account, you agree, represent and warrant that you will provide us with true, current, complete and accurate information requested in the registration form and from time to time in connection with your use of CTH Commerce. Your registration for any of CTH Commerce constitutes consent to use any personal information which you provide us in such registration for the purposes set out in our Privacy Policy and for all uses ancillary thereto for which your consent may reasonably be implied. You also will select a username and password. You are responsible for keeping your user name, password, account details, and all information required in connection with your use of CTH Commerce (e.g. employee information if you use CTH Commerce Payroll) confidential and up to date. If you are not the business owner and are registering an account on behalf of a business, you represent and warrant that you have been authorized and directed by your business’s principals to open the account and that you have shared all user names, passwords and access credentials with other authorized representatives in your business and that you have provided us with the business contact information of at least one other person. If you leave the business and your businessā€™s principal contacts us we may be required to provide access to the CTH Commerce account. You agree to hold harmless and release the CTH Commerce Parties from any liability if we do so.

When you register, donā€™t lie about who you are. By registering, youā€™re also agreeing to our Privacy Policy. Keep track of your login details, and keep them safe. If youā€™re creating an account on behalf of a business which you do not own, you must a) have permission, and b) share the login credentials with the owner.

Furthermore, you are entirely responsible for any activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your account. You agree to hold harmless and release the CTH Commerce Parties from any loss or liability whatsoever that you may incur as a result of someone other than you using your username, password or account, either with or without your knowledge. You agree to indemnify the CTH Commerce Parties for any damages, third party claims or liabilities whatsoever that we may incur as a result of activities that occur on or through your account, whether or not you were directly or personally responsible.

Youā€™re responsible for what happens in your account.

We are responsible for the security of Cardholder Data that is collected, transmitted, stored, or processed by Us on Your behalf. ā€œCardholder Dataā€ is defined as being the cardholderā€™s primary account number, and where a full unmasked card number is present, any of the cardholder name, expiration date, and/or service code. CTH Commerce has developed strict security features to protect Cardholder Data, and as such it is required that this data only be used in anticipated ways and stored in appropriate places.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE PROHIBITED FROM ENTERING CARDHOLDER DATA INTO ANY FORM OR DATA ENTRY FIELDS IN CTH Commerce, EXCEPT INTO THOSE FIELDS INTENDED SOLELY FOR THAT PURPOSE (i.e. where CTH Commerce explicitly requests such data be entered into such fields).

Appropriate fields are clearly marked with labels such as ā€˜Card numberā€™ or by having a credit card icon precede them. For clarity, it is not permissible to store cardholder data in fields with labels such as ā€˜memoā€™ or ā€˜noteā€™. Similarly, excluding payment forms, you must never enter CVV2 data into any fields in CTH Commerce. You assume all responsibility for any cardholder data entered into CTH Commerce in violation of this Agreement.

There are a bunch of rules for handling credit card information known as theĀ Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard(PCI-DSS). To help us follow these rules and to protect your and your customersā€™ data, we need you to use the apps as they were intended. You agree not to enter your cardholder data in any form where such data isnā€™t explicitly requested by CTH Commerce. Weā€™re not responsible for people doing unexpected things with their data.

Ā 

D. Online Access to Financial Institutions, CTH Commerce Pros and Other Services.

Certain online services (including access to online banking, online payments, online invoicing, digitization, storage of receipts, certain payroll related services, the CTH Commerce Pro Network and other online services related to the use of the Site) are provided by financial institutions and other third party service providers and not by us. You agree to hold harmless and release the CTH Commerce Parties from any liability relating to your use of such online services, including the CTH Commerce Pro Network and the CTH Commerce Pros. Your access to and conditions of use of such services may be limited in accordance with the terms of use published by such third party provider. You represent and warrant that you have the right to provide us with usernames, passwords, personal information and other access credentials which we may require to access any third party services or accounts in connection with the Services.

CTH Commerce does not provide professional accounting services. If you use the CTH Commerce Pro Network, you agree that you do so at your own risk. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, CTH Commerce does not pre-qualify, review, or endorse CTH Commerce Pros and we provide no representation or warranty as to the background, reputation, character, qualifications, skills, insurance, work product, services, advice, recommendations or quality of the CTH Commerce Pro. If you use a CTH Commerce Pro, you acknowledge that you are doing so at your own risk and hereby agree to release and hold CTH Commerce harmless from any or Claims arising from your use of the CTH Commerce Pro, as further set out in section I below. CTH Commerce does not purport to provide you with any financial or accounting advice and you agree to release and hold CTH Commerce harmless for and from any Claims (as defined below) arising from your use of a CTH Commerce Pro to provide you with technical support in relation to CTH Commerce, as further set out in section I below.

You acknowledge that use of such third party service providers and their websites and services is, except where prohibited or modified by applicable law, subject to the terms, conditions and policies established by the third party service providers. You expressly hold us harmless and hereby release us from any liability whatsoever whether arising out of contract, tort or otherwise for and from any Claims (defined below) arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the products and services of third party service providers whether or not such use is ancillary to your use of CTH Commerce.
