However, “Confidential Information” does not include any information made publicly available by Shipyard through its webpages.

Customer Data” means data uploaded, inputted or otherwise submitted by Customer or any Authorized User to the Platform or that is provided by Customer or any Authorized User to Platform relating to the Service(s).

Data Processing Addendum” means the then-current terms describing data processing and security obligations with respect to Customer Data, as described at https://www.shipyardapp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum. The Data Processing Addendum is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference.

[#account-registration-and-use]3. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND USE [#account-registration-and-use]

Customer and its Authorized Users may register for a Shipyard account in order to make Purchase(s) or to access the Platform or receive Services. Account information must be accurate, current, and complete. Customer agrees to keep this information up-to-date so that Shipyard may send notices, statements, and other information by email or through Customer’s account. Customer must ensure that any user IDs, passwords, and other access credentials (such as API tokens) for the Platform and the Services are kept strictly confidential and not shared with any unauthorized person. If the Customer is an entity, if any Authorized User stops working for Customer, the Customer must immediately terminate that person’s access to its account, the Platform, and any Service. Customer will be responsible for any and all actions taken using its and its users’ accounts, passwords or access credentials.. Accounts are granted to specific Customers and must not be shared with others.

[#account-registration-and-use]4. PURCHASES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS [#account-registration-and-use]

For purchases through the Platform or for Services (a “Purchase”), Customer may be asked to supply certain information including, credit card number, the expiration date of the credit card, and billing address. Customer is responsible for all taxes (excluding taxes on Customer net income), and Shipyard will charge tax if required to do so by law.

Customer will pay all applicable fees when due and, if such fees are being paid via credit card or other electronic means, Customer authorize Shipyard to charge such fees using Customer’s selected payment method. Customer represents and warrants that:

(i) Customer has the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any Purchase;

(ii) that the information supplied to Shipyard is true, correct and complete; and

(iii) in the event that Customer is performing this Purchase on behalf of a corporate entity, that Customer are duly authorized to make such Purchase and bind the entity to these Terms.

Shipyard may employ the use of third party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of Purchases. By submitting Customer’s information, Customer grants Shipyard the right to provide the information to these third parties for the purposes of effectuating the request to Purchase (including any renewals).

All Purchases are final and non-refundable except as required by law. If Customer terminates the Agreement or ceases Customer’s use of the Service or Platform, Customer is not entitled to a refund for any unused portion of the respective Purchase. Shipyard reserves the right to refuse, suspend, and/or cancel Customer’s Purchase at any time if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected, in the event of any suspected violation of these Terms or if Customer’s use causes risk or possible legal exposure for Shipyard.

Some Purchases are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). Customer will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan selected by Customer when purchasing a Subscription.

A valid payment method, including credit card, is required to process the payment for Customer’s Subscription. By submitting such payment information, Customer authorizes Shipyard to charge all Subscription fees incurred through Customer’s account.

Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Shipyard will issue an electronic invoice indicating that Customer must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.

At the end of each Billing Cycle, Customer’s Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless cancelled by Customer or Shipyard. However, Shipyard may revise fees for its Services, Products, and Subscriptions from time to time. Shipyard will provide Client with 30 days’ prior notice of any change in its  fees to give Client an opportunity to terminate its Subscription before such change becomes effective. Customer may cancel its Subscription renewal either through its online account management page or by contacting Shipyard’s customer support team.  Client’s continued use of the Services or Platform after an alteration to the Subscription fee comes into effect constitutes Client’s agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

Prices and availability of Products and Services are subject to change without notice. Shipyard reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions including after an order for a Purchase or Subscription has been submitted and whether or not the order has been confirmed and Customer’s payment method charged.

[#use-rights]5. USE RIGHTS [#use-rights]

Subject to all the terms and conditions of these Terms, Shipyard grants Customer a worldwide, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license during the applicable Term to access and use the Service(s) and/or Platform purchased or subscribed for by Customer solely for Customer’s internal business purposes, in accordance with these Terms. Customer may permit its Authorized Users to use the Service(s) and/or Platform, provided their use is for Customer’s benefit only and remains in compliance with the Terms. Customer will be responsible and liable for all Authorized Users’ use and access and their compliance with the terms and conditions of the Terms.

[#customer-data]6. CUSTOMER DATA [#customer-data]

As between the parties, Customer retains all right, title, and interest (including any intellectual property rights) in and to the Customer Data (excluding any Shipyard information or intellectual property). Customer hereby grants Shipyard a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify, and create derivative works of the Customer Data to the extent necessary to provide the Services and Platform, to provide Customer with use of the Platform, and for Shipyard to provide and related services to Customer and as set out in this Section 6 regarding Aggregate Data.

Shipyard has the right to generate Aggregate Data and Aggregate Data is the sole and exclusive property of Shipyard, which Shipyard may use for any purpose (including without limitation to develop and improve products and services and to create and distribute reports and other materials). Shipyard will only disclose Aggregate Data externally in a de-identified (anonymous) form that does not identify Customer or Authorized Users and that is stripped of all persistent identifiers (such as device identifiers, IP addresses, and cookie IDs).

Shipyard does not provide an archiving service. Customer acknowledges that there is a risk that Customer Data can be damaged or corrupted. Customer shall be responsible for backing up its own data. Customer acknowledges that Shipyard may delete Customer Data no longer in active use. Shipyard expressly disclaims all other obligations with respect to storage.

Customer has the responsibility for the accuracy, quality, completeness, and appropriateness of Customer Data that Customer, or any of the users of Customer’s access, including Authorized Users, provide or upload through the Platform. Shipyard reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to remove any or all Customer Data from the Platform, in Customer sole discretion.

Shipyard will only access, use, and otherwise process Customer Personal Information in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum. Customer agrees to the terms and obligations contained in the Data Processing Addendum, including the additional indemnification obligations.

If Customer’s use of the Services and Platform requires Customer to comply with industry-specific regulations applicable to such use, such as HIPAA, GLBA or FERPA (each, an “Industry-Specific Regulation”), Customer will be solely responsible for such compliance, except to the extent Shipyard has agreed with Customer in writing otherwise. Customer is not permitted to use the Services or Platform in any way that would subject Shipyard to an Industry-Specific Regulation without obtaining Customer prior written agreement. For example, Customer may not use any Services or the Platform to collect, use, disclose, transfer, protect or otherwise handle “protected health information” (as defined in 45 C.F.R. §160.103) unless Customer’s account for such Services is designated as HIPAA-enabled and Customer enter into a separate business associate agreement with Shipyard.
