(including without limitation all applicable laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content, the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside, privacy, and data protection). Any use or access to the Service by anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. The Service is not available to any Users previously removed from the Service by Finale.

b.  Finale Accounts. In order to use certain features of the Service, you must register for an account with Finale (a “Finale Account”). Your Finale Account gives you access to the functionality  and features of the Service that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion. We may maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users, and these different accounts may have different features available to them. For example, we offer 1) a free version account (“Free Account”), and 2) several types of paid accounts (each a “Paid Account”).  If you access the Service using a Free Account, then you may use the Service in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the period designated in the ordering document or online order that specifies the features of the Service to be provided hereunder to you, including any addenda and supplements thereto (each, an “Order Form”) , or as otherwise allowed by Finale. Finale may terminate or immediately suspend your Free Account at any time for any reason without liability to you. You acknowledge that your access to the Service through a Free Account may not be complete or fully functional and may contain bugs, errors, omissions and other problems. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, FINALE WILL HAVE NO WARRANTY, INDEMNITY, CONFIDENTIALITY OR SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO HOLDERS OF FREE ACCOUNTS.

Certain account types may allow you to authorize additional accounts for other Users and associate those authorized Users under your account. Users may  identify a username and password for their account on the Service. A User’s password may not be shared with any other individual; however, a username may be cancelled or reassigned to a new individual replacing one who no longer requires ongoing use of the Service. You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you and the Users authorized by you use to access the Service. You must notify Finale immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Finale cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above.

If you are accepting this Agreement and using the Service on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, then: (i) “you” includes both you and the entity you represent, as applicable; and (b) you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind the entity to this Agreement. Each Finale Account represents a separately administered inventory management service, such as may fit the needs of a whole entity with one or more locations, or a business unit within an entity, but not multiple entities or multiple business units that have different inventory sets or Users, even if within the same entity. You may control your account settings and how you interact with the Service by changing the settings in your settings page.

7. SECURITY

Finale takes commercially reasonable precautions including technical, organizational and physical measures to help safeguard against the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration and unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, the personal information we process. Since posting our specific security measures online could provide the type of information hackers use, this description is intentionally generalized.  If your organization requires further detail on our security practices, please reach out to us at service@finaleinventory.com.

While Finale implements industry standard security measures that take into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your data for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your data to us at your own risk.  Finale makes no guarantees as to the availability of the Service.

b.  Termination. Finale, in its sole discretion, may terminate or suspend your account at any time if, in Finale’s sole discretion, you violate any term or provision of this Agreement, without liability to you. Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no reason, by giving the other party written notice of termination, effective thirty (30) days from the date of notice

c.  Refunds. The subscribed-for fees are non-refundable. In the event of termination, Customer agrees to pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Term of all Order Forms.

9. CONFIDENTIALITY

“Confidential Information” of either party will mean information disclosed to or learned by the receiving party concerning the disclosing party’s business, customers, products, proposed products, plans, inventions, processes and techniques, which is clearly labelled as “Confidential” or “Proprietary.” Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault or breach on the part of the receiving party; (ii) the receiving party obtains from a third party rightfully, without breach of non-disclosure obligations and without restriction on disclosure; or (iii) the disclosing party regularly provides to others without restriction on disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, non-public features of the Service are considered Company’s Confidential Information. Except as explicitly authorized in writing by this Agreement or otherwise, each party will: (a) not use, for its own benefit or the benefit of any third party, the other party’s Confidential Information; and (b) use all reasonable care, but in no event less care than it takes to protect its own Confidential Information of similar importance, to protect the other party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, disclosure and publication. Both parties acknowledge that the breach of this Section 9 could cause great or irreparable injury to the disclosing party and that pecuniary compensation would not afford adequate relief, and therefore, that upon any such unauthorized disclosure by the receiving party, the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

The Service may contain links to third-party materials that are not owned or controlled by Finale. Finale does not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third-party sites, information, materials, products, or services. If you access a third-party website or service from the Service or share your User Content on or through any third-party website or service, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that this Agreement and Finale’s Privacy Policy do not apply to your use of such sites. You expressly relieve Finale from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website, service, or content.

You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Santa Clara County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

b.  Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM FINALE. For any dispute with FINALE, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Finale has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, unless you and Finale agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Finale from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.

c.  Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND FINALE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
