You will not be issued a refund (for annual payment terms) or have your monthly fee obligation lowered (for monthly payment terms) even if that Seat license is not utilized. For example, if you start with 2 contract Seats for a 1-year contract and then deactivate one user at of the second month of your contract, you will still have 2 contract Seats on your Account until the end of your annual subscription Term, and you will be responsible to pay for that unused Seat according to your contract terms.

If you pay monthly then you will be invoiced a pro-rated monthly bill for the remainder of the month in which you add a user and then you will receive an adjusted monthly invoice based on your monthly subscription rate.

Additional Features can be deactivated any time throughout the term of the annual subscription. You can still access that Additional Feature and can invite other users to utilize that feature for the remainder of your subscription contract Term.

Deactivating an additional Feature does not change your Seat License Fee and Payment Obligation. The Seat License and Payment Obligation will remain until the end of your contract term. You will not be issued a refund (for annual payment terms) or have your monthly fee obligation lowered (for monthly payment terms) even if that feature is not utilized.

At the end of your subscription term you can change the number of licensed Seats by providing written notice not less than ninety (90) days prior to your contract renewal date.

Indemnity

Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall defend (or settle), indemnify and hold harmless Clockwork, its officers, directors and employees, from and against any liabilities, losses, damages and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any claim (including any third-party claim) that: (i) a third party has suffered injury, damage or loss resulting from Customer’s or an Authorized User’s use of the Clockwork Services (other than any claim for which falls under Indemnification by Clockwork); (ii) Customer or any Authorized User has used the Clockwork Services in a manner that violates the Terms of Service; or (iii) arises from Customer’s breach of any representation and warranty made by Customer under this Terms of Service.  Customer’s obligations under these Terms of Service are contingent upon: (a) Clockwork providing Customer with prompt written notice of such claim and (b) Clockwork providing reasonable cooperation to Customer, at Customer’s expense, in the defense and settlement of such claim.

Indemnification by Clockwork.  Clockwork shall defend (or settle) any suit or action brought against Customer to the extent that it is based upon a claim that the Clockwork Services infringe or misappropriate the Intellectual Property Rights (other than patent rights, including patent applications and disclosures) of any third party, and will pay any costs, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees attributable to such claim that are awarded against Customer.  Clockwork’s obligations under these Terms of Service are contingent upon: (a) Customer providing Clockwork with prompt written notice of such claim; (b) Customer providing reasonable cooperation to Clockwork, at Clockwork’s expense, in the defense and settlement of such claim; and (c) Clockwork having sole authority to defend or settle such claim. In the event that Clockwork’s right to provide the Clockwork Services is enjoined or in Clockwork’s reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, Clockwork may obtain the right to continue providing the Clockwork Services, replace or modify the Clockwork Services so that they become non-infringing, or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate this Terms of Service without liability to Customer.  THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF CLOCKWORK AND ITS LICENSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE CLOCKWORK SERVICES. Clockwork shall have no liability under these Terms of Service to the extent that any third-party claims described herein are based on use of the Clockwork Services in a manner that violates this Terms of Service or the instructions given to Customer by Clockwork.

Limitation of Liability

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE CLOCKWORK SERVICE AND SITE CONTENT REMAINS WITH YOU. EXCEPT FOR THE INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, SYSTEM FAILURE OR NETWORK OUTAGE, WILL EITHER CLOCKWORK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE CLOCKWORK SERVICE OR SITE CONTENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, CLOCKWORK SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR CLOCKWORK SERVICE, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF CLOCKWORK SERVICE OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR SITE CONTENT, OR FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE CLOCKWORK SERVICE OR OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE CLOCKWORK SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT CLOCKWORK HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

EXCEPT FOR THE INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, IN NO EVENT WILL CLOCKWORK’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF CLOCKWORK SERVICE OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE CLOCKWORK SERVICE OR SITE CONTENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO CLOCKWORK FOR USE OF THE CLOCKWORK SERVICE OR CONTENT. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN CLOCKWORK AND YOU. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Non-Exclusive Remedies

Except as described under Indemnification, the exercise by either party of any remedy under these Terms of Service will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Terms of Service or otherwise.

Equitable Relief

Each party acknowledges that a breach by the other party of any confidentiality or proprietary rights provision of this Terms of Service may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation.  Consequently, and notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, the non-breaching party may institute an action to enjoin the breaching party from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and a party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity.

Headings

The headings in this Terms of Service are for the convenience of reference only and have no legal effect.

The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Clockwork. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Service, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Service will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Service or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms of Service invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect.
