ImpactPilot: Terms of Service

Updated: 24 October 2023

These Terms of Service (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between you (“you” or “your”) and ImpactPilot (“ImpactPilot”) (you and ImpactPilot each, a “party” and collectively, the “parties”) and sets forth the terms and conditions under which you may subscribe to certain products and services of ImpactPilot.

If the user of the Service is a company, organization, or other entity rather than an individual, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity; (b) “your” has the corresponding meaning; and (c) you represent and warrant that you: (i) are an authorized representative of that entity with the authority to bind such entity to this Agreement, (ii) have read and understand this Agreement, and (iii) agree to this Agreement on behalf of such entity.

By accessing or using the Service, or by clicking a button or checking a box marked “I Agree” (or something similar), you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy available on the website https://impactpilot.io (the “Privacy Policy”), whether or not you are a registered user of the Service. ImpactPilot reserves the right to modify the terms of this Agreement and will provide notice of these changes as described below.

1. IMPACTPILOT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

1.1. Provision of Products and Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ImpactPilot will provide you with the online software-as-a-service products and services on a subscription basis for the Subscription Term (defined below), and such other products and services (the “Service”). The Service includes ImpactPilot Software (as defined below).

1.2. Access to Products. You may access and use the Service on a non-exclusive and non-transferrable basis, solely for its internal business purposes, and only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any end user technical documentation provided by ImpactPilot for the Service (“Documentation”). To the extent ImpactPilot provides you with any downloadable software, agents, SDKs, APIs, or other code in connection with the Service (“ImpactPilot Software”), ImpactPilot grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to use the ImpactPilot Software during the applicable Subscription Term solely as reasonably necessary for your use of the Service in accordance with this Agreement. For clarity, except for ImpactPilot Software, ImpactPilot’ software products are provided on a remote, software-as-a-service basis only.

1.3. Permitted Users. You may permit your customers, employees, agents, independent contractors, and consultants to use the Service on your behalf (“Permitted Users”), provided you remain responsible for the acts and omissions of each such Permitted User. If you are given passwords to access the Service on ImpactPilot’ systems, you shall require that all Permitted Users keep user ID and password information strictly confidential and not share such information with any unauthorized person. You shall be responsible for any and all actions taken using your accounts and passwords.

1.4. Use by Affiliates. Each of your Affiliates (defined below) will be entitled to access and use the Service in accordance with this Agreement; provided that you shall remain responsible to ImpactPilot for the actions and omissions of each such Affiliate (and each of such Affiliate’s Permitted Users). The terms of this Agreement will govern as if this Agreement were separately executed by the applicable Affiliate of yours, and the term “you” as used in this Agreement will be deemed as applying to such Affiliate of yours for the purposes of this Agreement. “Affiliate” means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a party. As used herein, “control” means the power to direct the management or affairs of an entity or the beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting equity securities or other equivalent voting interests of an entity.

1.5. General Restrictions. You shall not, and shall not allow any third party (including any Permitted User) to: (a) sell, rent, lease or use the Service for time sharing purposes; (b) use the Service to help develop, or help provide to any third party, any product or service similar to or competitive with the Service; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise seek to obtain the source code of the Service; (d) copy, modify or create derivative works from the Service or any Documentation; (e) remove or obscure any copyright or proprietary or other notice contained in the Service or Documentation; (f) propagate any virus, Trojan horse, or other malware or programming routine intended to damage any system or data; (g) access or use the Service in a manner intended to circumvent or exceed service account limitations or requirements; (h) use any Service in a manner that violates any applicable law, regulation, or legal requirement or obligation; (i) use any Service in violation of any third-party rights of privacy or intellectual property rights; (j) use or permit the use of any tools in order to probe, scan or attempt to penetrate or benchmark any Service; (k) post, upload, transmit or provide any Your Data that ImpactPilot reasonably deems to be unlawful, harmful, abusive or otherwise objectionable; or (l) use the Service except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

5.3. Effect of Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, (a) you shall immediately cease any and all use of and access to the Service (including any and all related ImpactPilot Technology) and (b) each party will return to the other party (or destroy) such other party’s Confidential Information.

6. LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER

6.1. Limited Warranty. ImpactPilot warrants that it will provide the Service in substantial conformity with the applicable Documentation. ImpactPilot’ sole liability (and your sole and exclusive remedy) for any breach of this warranty shall be, in ImpactPilot’ sole discretion and at no charge to you, to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with an error correction or work-around that corrects the reported non-conformity, or if ImpactPilot determines such remedies to be impracticable, to allow you to terminate the Subscription Term and receive as its sole remedy and ImpactPilot’ entire liability, a refund of any fees you have pre-paid for use of the Service or related services it has not received as of the date of the warranty claim. The limited warranty set forth in this Section 6.1 shall not apply: (a) unless you make a claim within thirty (30) days of the date on which the condition giving rise to the claim first appeared, (b) if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorized modifications or third-party hardware, software, or services, or (c) to the Service provided on a no-charge or evaluation basis.

6.2. Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IMPACTPILOT PRODUCTS AND ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. IMPACTPILOT AND ITS SUPPLIERS EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

7.1. IN NO EVENT WILL IMPACTPILOT AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY) EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE LAST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THE FOREGOING WILL NOT LIMIT YOUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 4.2 ABOVE.

7.2. IN NO EVENT WILL IMPACTPILOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7.3. You are responsible for all login credentials, including usernames and passwords, for administrator accounts, as well the accounts of your Permitted Users. ImpactPilot will not be responsible for any damages, losses or liability to you, Permitted Users, or anyone else, if such information is not kept confidential by you or your Permitted Users, or if such information is correctly provided by an unauthorized third party logging into and accessing the Service.

7.4. The limitations under this Section 7 apply with respect to all legal theories, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, and to the extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 7 allocate the risks under the Agreement between the parties, and the parties have relied on these limitations in determining whether to enter into the Agreement and the pricing for the Service.

7.5. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES, SUCH AS INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE AGREEMENT GRANTS SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU AND PERMITTED USERS MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

8. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless ImpactPilot and its affiliates, licensors, and suppliers, and ImpactPilot’ and their respective employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (a) your and any Permitted User’s use of and access to the Service; (b) your violation of any term of the Agreement; (c) your or any Permitted User’s violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any right of privacy or intellectual property rights; (d) your or any Permitted User’s violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (e) your or any Permitted User’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct; or (f) any other party’s access and use of the Service with your or any Permitted User’s unique username, password or other appropriate security code (provided that such access and use was not the fault of ImpactPilot).

9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

9.1. Definition. “Confidential Information” means information disclosed by one party to the other that is marked as confidential or proprietary or that ought reasonably to be understood as confidential or proprietary. All ImpactPilot Technology, performance information relating to the Service, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the fees and pricing information) shall be deemed Confidential Information of ImpactPilot without any marking or further designation. Confidential Information does not include Your Data, nor does it include information that the recipient already lawfully knew, that becomes public through no fault of the recipient, that was independently developed by the recipient without any reference to or use of Confidential Information, or that was rightfully obtained by the recipient from a third party.

9.2. Obligations. The recipient agrees not to disclose Confidential Information except to its Affiliates, employees, contractors, and agents who need to know it and have agreed in writing to keep it confidential. Only those parties may use the Confidential Information, and only to exercise the recipient’s rights and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, while using at least a reasonable degree of care to protect it. The recipient may also disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law after providing reasonable notice to the discloser and cooperating to obtain confidential treatment. Unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information may cause harm not compensable by damages, and the disclosing party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting a bond, to protect its Confidential Information.

10. SECURITY

ImpactPilot shall use reasonable physical, technical, and administrative procedures designed to protect, safeguard, and help prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of Your Data, and ImpactPilot will choose these safeguards based on the sensitivity of the information that is collected, processed, and stored and the current state of applicable technology.

11. PUBLICITY

Except as otherwise agreed in writing (email to suffice), neither party may use the other party’s name, logos, or marks without such party’s written pre-approval in each case. For the avoidance of doubt, you hereby grant ImpactPilot your consent to use your name and logo on ImpactPilot’ web site and in ImpactPilot promotional materials to identify you as an ImpactPilot grantee.

12. DATA PROCESSING

To the extent that ImpactPilot processes any data which is defined as “personal data,” “personal information,” or “sensitive data” in the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”) or the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (“CCPA”) (“Personal Data”), ImpactPilot shall do so in compliance with Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If the Personal Data that ImpactPilot processes relates to individuals who are data subjects entitled to the rights granted under GDPR, you agree that ImpactPilot does so as a data processor as defined in GDPR. If the Personal Data that ImpactPilot processes relates to individuals who are California residents, and you are subject to CCPA, you agree that ImpactPilot does so as a service provider as defined in CCPA.
