  2. You have read and understand this Agreement.
  3. You agree, on behalf of Customer, to this Agreement.

1. Acceptable Use Policy

Neither you nor those that access the Services may use the Services:

  1. In a way prohibited by law, regulation, governmental order or decree.
  2. To violate, or encourage the violation of, the legal rights of others.
  3. To engage in, promote or encourage illegal activity.

  8. To interfere with the use of the Services, or the equipment used to provide the Services in a way that could harm the Services or impair anyone else’s ability to use the Service.
  9. For any use deemed high risk (where failure or fault of the Services could lead to death, serious bodily injury or physical harm of any person, or to severe physical or environmental damage).

2. Provisions

2.1 Services Use

Subject to this Agreement, during the Term, Customer may:

  1. Use the Services.
  2. Use any Software provided by Covecube as part of the Services. Customer may not sublicense or transfer these rights.

2.2 Accounts

Customer must have an Account to use the Services, and is responsible for:

  1. The information it provides to create the Account.
  2. The security of the that information and login credentials for the Account.
  3. And for any use of its Account.

If Customer becomes aware of any unauthorized use of its login credentials or its Account, Customer will notify Covecube as promptly as possible.

2.3 New Services

Covecube may:

  1. Make new applications, tools, features or functionality available from time to time through the Services.
  2. Add new services to the "Services" definition from time to time, the use of which may be contingent upon Customer's agreement to additional terms.

3. Modifications To the Agreement

Covecube may make changes to this Agreement, including pricing (and any linked documents) from time to time. Unless otherwise noted by Covecube, material changes to the Agreement will become effective 30 days after they are posted, except if the changes apply to new functionality in which case they will be effective immediately. If Customer does not agree to the revised Agreement, Customer shall stop using the Services. Covecube will post any modification to this Agreement to the Terms URL.

4. Payment Terms

4.1 Free Services

Certain Services are provided to Customer without charge, as applicable.

4.2 Online Billing

At the end of the applicable Fee Accrual Period, Covecube will issue an electronic bill to Customer for all charges accrued above the Fee Threshold based on:

  1. Customer's use of the Services during the previous Fee Accrual Period.
  2. Any Reserved Units selected.
  3. Any Committed Purchases selected.
  4. Any Package Purchases selected.

For use above the Fee Threshold, Customer will be responsible for all Fees up to the amount set in the Account and will pay all Fees in the currency set forth in the invoice. If Customer elects to pay by credit card, debit card, or other non-invoiced form of payment, Covecube will charge (and Customer will pay) all Fees immediately at the end of the Fee Accrual Period. If Customer elects to pay by invoice (and Covecube agrees), all Fees are due as set forth in the invoice. Customer's obligation to pay all Fees is non-cancellable. Covecube's measurement of Customer's use of the Services is final. Covecube has no obligation to provide multiple bills.

4.3 Taxes

4.3.1 Responsibility

Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and Customer will pay Covecube for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If Covecube is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer, unless Customer provides Covecube with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. In some states the sales tax is due on the total purchase price at the time of sale and must be invoiced and collected at the time of the sale. If Customer is required by law to withhold any Taxes from its payments to Covecube, Customer must provide Covecube with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such withholding. If under the applicable tax legislation the Services are subject to local VAT and the Customer is required to make a withholding of local VAT from amounts payable to Covecube, the value of Services calculated in accordance with the above procedure will be increased (grossed up) by the Customer for the respective amount of local VAT and the grossed up amount will be regarded as a VAT inclusive price. Local VAT amount withheld from the VAT-inclusive price will be remitted to the applicable local tax entity by the Customer and Customer will ensure that Covecube will receives payment for its services for the net amount as would otherwise be due (the VAT inclusive price less the local VAT withheld and remitted to applicable tax authority).

4.3.2 Tax Identification Information

If required under applicable law, Customer will provide Covecube with applicable tax identification information that Covecube may require to ensure its compliance with applicable tax regulations and authorities in applicable jurisdictions. Customer will be liable to pay (or reimburse Covecube for) any taxes, interest, penalties or fines arising out of any mis-declaration by the Customer.

4.4 Invoice Disputes & Refunds

Any invoice disputes must be submitted prior to the payment due date. If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Covecube, Covecube will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If the disputed invoice has not yet been paid, Covecube will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer waives all claims relating to Fees unless claimed within sixty days after charged (this does not affect any Customer rights with its credit card issuer). Refunds (if any) are at the discretion of Covecube and will only be in the form of credit for the Services. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Covecube to extend credit to any party.

4.5 Delinquent Payments and Suspension

Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Covecube in collecting such delinquent amounts. If Customer is late on payment for the Services, Covecube may Suspend the Services or terminate the Agreement for breach.

5. Customer Obligations

5.1 Compliance

  6. Process or store any Customer Data that is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations maintained by the Department of State.

Covecube does not intend uses of the Services to create obligations under HIPAA, and makes no representations that the Services satisfy HIPAA requirements. If Customer is (or becomes) a Covered Entity or Business Associate, as defined in HIPAA, Customer will not use the Services for any purpose or in any manner involving Protected Health Information (as defined in HIPAA).

5.4 Third Party Components

6. Suspension

8. Use of Customer Data

Covecube will not access or use Customer Data, except as necessary to provide the Services and Technical Support Services to Customer.
