You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login and account and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your login or account. You agree and acknowledge that your login may only be used by one (1) person. A single login shared by multiple people is not permitted. You may create separate logins for as many people as your plan allows.

3.4 Synchroteam reserves the right to access any or all your accounts in order to respond to your requests for technical support. We shall maintain appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of your data. We will not disclose your data except if compelled by law, if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of these TOS or if permitted by you.

3.6 The failure of Synchroteam to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this TOS shall not be a waiver of that right. You acknowledge that this TOS is a contract between you (or the company or legal entity you represent) and Synchroteam, even though it is electronic and is not physically signed by you and Synchroteam, and it governs your use of the Service and takes the place of any prior agreements between you and Synchroteam.

4 COPYRIGHTS AND TRADEMARKS

The trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, logos and products used and displayed on the Site or the App are protected in the United States and internationally. Synchroteam is the copyright owner or authorized licensee of all text and all graphics included on the Site or the App. No use of any of these may be made without the prior, written authorization of Synchroteam, except that you may use these trademarks or logos to identify yourself as a customer or user of the Synchroteam products and services, provided you do not attempt to claim ownership of the marks by incorporating any of them into your names or offerings. Other parties' trademarks and service marks that may be referred to on the Site or the App are the property of their respective owners. Nothing on the Site or the App should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any of Synchroteam 's trademarks, service marks or copyrights without Synchroteam 's prior written permission. Synchroteam enforces its intellectual property rights.

5 PAYMENT AND REFUNDS

5.1 Trials and Payments. The Service is made available on a pay-as-you-go basis and is charged at the start of your elected subscription term (monthly or annually). All plans come with an initial free trial period of up to 14 days. If you do not provide us with your credit or debit card details, or required information for other accepted forms of payment that are approved for use with the Service (each, "Payment Details") within the free trial period, your account will be suspended and can only be reactivated by submitting your Payment Details. Once you have provided Payment Details, you will be promptly billed and your trial period will terminate.

5.2 Plan and Price Changes. If you choose to upgrade your plan or number of agents during your elected subscription period, any incremental cost will be prorated over the remaining term of the subscription period and charged to your account.  Subsequently, your credit card, debit card or other payment method you used to subscribe, will automatically be charged the adjusted rate on your next billing cycle subsequent to the pro-rating billing. A billing exception exists if you are on a monthly billing cycle where you will not see a prorated charge or credit in the current month, but your new billing rate will be reflected on your next monthly bill. Regardless of your billing cycle, there are no refunds or credits for partial months of Service, plan downgrades, or refunds for months unused if you close your account before the end of your subscription period. In order to treat everyone equally and keep our administrative costs low for the ultimate benefit of our customer base, no exceptions will be made. Downgrading your plan level may cause the loss of Content, features, or capacity of your account and Synchroteam does not accept any liability for such loss. Prices of all Synchroteam plans and Services are subject to change upon fourteen (14) days' notice from us. Such notice may be provided at any time. In addition, Synchroteam reserves the right to contact you about special pricing if you maintain an exceptionally high number of end-users or an unusually high monthly ticket ratio per agent. In such situation, an Enterprise Subscription Agreement (described below) may be more appropriate for you.

5.3 Billing, Receipts and Privacy. The account owner will receive an email receipt upon each charge to your credit or debit card or other payment account. The receipts are also available for the account owner by logging in to his or her account. Synchroteam provides an interface for the account owner (as defined in the sign-up procedure) to change Payment Details (e.g., upon card renewal). Synchroteam uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit and debit card processing, and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain, or use your billing information except to process your credit or debit card information for Synchroteam.
By using any such payment method, you agree that we may receive certain of your personal information. Our use of your personal information will be as permitted in our capacity as a partner of such service providers and in a manner consistent with our Privacy Policy. Please visit http://www.synchroteam.com/privacy.php and review our Privacy Policy to understand how Synchroteam collects and uses personal information.

6 CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

6.1 You are responsible for properly canceling your account. The account owner (as defined in the sign-up procedure) can cancel the account at any time by clicking on the Account link in the global navigation bar at the top of the screen. There are no other means of canceling your account. You will lose access to all of your content upon cancellation and we will delete it in our normal course of business operations. This information cannot be recovered once your account is cancelled. If you cancel the Service before the end of your current paid-up subscription period, your cancellation will take effect immediately and you will not be charged again.

6.2 Synchroteam reserves the right to (a) modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) and/or (b) refuse any and all current and future use of the Service, suspend or terminate your account (any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any of your content in the Service, for any reason, including, if Synchroteam believes that you have violated this TOS. Synchroteam will use all reasonable efforts to contact you directly via email to warn you prior to suspension or termination of your account. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Synchroteam shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuation of the Service.

7 USER CONTENT

7.1 We may in the future permit the submission of various forms of content submitted by you and other users, such as materials, statements, documents, images, graphics, logos, designs, videos, text files, audio files, and comments (collectively, "User Content") and the hosting, sharing, downloading, publishing and/or republishing of such User Content.
