Customer Terms of Service
Last Updated: October 18, 2024
These Customer Terms of Service (“Customer Terms”) are a binding agreement between NW Virtual Partners LLC dba EventBuilder and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “EventBuilder”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you as an EventBuilder customer (“Customer”) that govern Customer’s access to and use of our suite of software and professional services owned and operated by NW Virtual Partners LLC and/or delivered under the business name EventBuilder (the “Software”) for creating and managing in-person events, virtual events, webinars, and online meetings and presentations (collectively, “Events”) as well as our other digital properties, products and services to which Customer subscribes or purchases (collectively, with the Software, the “Services”). The parties hereto may be collectively referred to as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”.
Any terms used in these Customer Terms without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Privacy Notice. Additional, separate terms and conditions may apply to some Services, including without limitation the EventBuilder Data Processing Addendum (or “DPA”), our Privacy Notice, and our Terms of Use, each of which are incorporated into these Customer Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between these Customer Terms and our Terms of Use, these Customer Terms shall govern and control.
THESE CUSTOMER TERMS INCLUDE A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND AN ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT GOVERNS ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND EVENTBUILDER.
By clicking “Accept” below or in any agreement, electronic form or user interface where this option is made available, Customer agrees to be unconditionally bound by these Customer Terms. Customer represents, agrees, and warrants that Customer is of legal age and authority to agree to these Customer Terms and, if Customer is a company or other entity (“Entity”), Customer is authorized to act on behalf of the Entity and to bind such Entity to these Terms. ACCEPTANCE OF THESE CUSTOMER TERMS IS REQUIRED FOR USE OF THE SERVICES AND ANY USE OF THE SERVICES SHALL CONSTITUTE CUSTOMER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THESE CUSTOMER TERMS. If Customer does not agree with these Customer Terms in their entirety, Customer must not use the Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that EventBuilder may make changes to the Services or these Customer Terms at any time and that Customer will be bound by such changes if Customer continues to use the Services.
To download, install, or use the Services, Customer must create an account and purchase a subscription for the Customer’s chosen subscription type. Customer must provide a unique email address that EventBuilder will use to grant Customer privileges for Customer’s EventBuilder account and Portal access. The email address associated with Customer’s EventBuilder account must be a named user and not a generic email alias. Customer may have the option to designate more than one Organizer or Administrator for Customer’s Portal. The information Customer provides, and the selections Customer makes during registration process, and any changes thereto from time to time, are an integral part of and governed by these Customer Terms. Customer represents and warrants that all information Customer provides to EventBuilder in connection with Customer’s registration for Service is true, accurate, current, and complete. Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any login credentials issued by EventBuilder to Customer, and Customer is responsible for all activities that occur using its login credentials. Subscription cancellations are effective at the end of the then-current monthly billing period.
EventBuilder offers limited Services access for free while other access levels are provided in exchange for a subscription fee and other fees as described in the disclosure of fees or as otherwise agreed in the applicable contract (each a “Fee”). Fees may be payable by Customer in advance by automatic charge against the payment method Customer provides to EventBuilder. As part of the Fees, Customer is responsible for paying all charges to Customer’s account for Services ordered, including but not limited to, software, conferencing, consulting, event creation and publishing, and for any taxes or surcharges imposed on Customer or EventBuilder as a result of Customer’s use of the Services.
EventBuilder limits each Organizer to 3,000 people registered for Events (“Registrants”) per month. If Customer has more than an average of 3,000 Registrants per Organizer in a given month, Customer will be subject to overage Fees as described in our disclosure of fees. Certain add-on features will incur the extra costs described when Customer adds those features to the Event. Customer is responsible for paying the Fees for the Services to which Customer subscribes, as well as any and all applicable sales and use taxes for the purchase of Customer’s subscription based on the address that Customer provides at registration. EventBuilder may adjust our Fees at any time. International rates may change without notice. All Fees are quoted in United States dollars. EventBuilder reserves the right to change our subscription plans or adjust the Fees for the Services or any components thereof in any manner and at any time. EventBuilder will give Customer at least 30 days’ notice prior to any price change or change to Customer’s subscription plan.
These Customer Terms take effect on the date EventBuilder activates the Services through Customer’s registration as a Customer (the “Effective Date”). The duration of Customer’s agreement with EventBuilder pursuant to these Customer Terms begins on the Effective Date and continues for one (1) month and automatically renews each subsequent month unless canceled or changed as provided herein, with the initial term and all renewable periods collectively referred to as the “Term”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer selects a fixed term subscription of more than one month in duration (e.g., a one-year plan), Customer agrees to purchase the Services for the full duration of the fixed term. Customer acknowledges that our obligations to Customer under the contract begin anew with each renewal, and that EventBuilder owes Customer no obligations beyond each successive one (1) month contract period.
Any change to Customer’s subscription or other order for the Services must be documented in writing and accepted by both Parties (a “Change Order”). Each Change Order will be governed by these Customer Terms. Customer and EventBuilder each acknowledge that a Change Order may necessitate a change in the delivery schedule and/or Fees due to EventBuilder for provision of the Services. Subscription changes are effective immediately upon our acceptance of Customer request for such change and apply to the entire monthly billing period during which Customer contacts EventBuilder to request such change. In the event of a conflict between these Customer Terms and a Change Order, these Customer Terms will control unless the Change Order expressly refers to the Parties’ intent to alter the terms of these Customer Terms with respect to that Change Order or a specific provision of the Services. If Customer requests to upgrade or downgrade Customer’s subscription to the Services or requests a Change Order, and EventBuilder agrees to the change, the following month’s fee will be amended to reflect the agreed upon change. If Customer is enrolled in automatic billing and Customer’s initial billing period is less than a full month, Customer’s fees for that initial billing period will be prorated accordingly if applicable.
At Customer’s option, Customer and EventBuilder will each designate a contact person in writing to the other Party (each, a “Relationship Manager”) to act as the primary point of contact between the Parties and to coordinate the performance of each Party’s respective obligations under these Customer Terms.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) EventBuilder will invoice expenses within 90 days from the date such expenses are incurred; (b) EventBuilder will invoice Customer monthly within 30 days of the month during which the Services were performed; and (c) Customer will pay each invoice within 30 days of receipt. Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time at Our discretion. Customer may be required to maintain a valid payment method on file for payment of invoices. Customer agrees that EventBuilder may charge Customer’s credit or debit card, or withdraw amounts from Customer’s designated account at Customer’s depository institution, or charge any other payment method that Customer has on file with the fees due hereunder, any sales and use taxes and any late fees or interest (as described below), if applicable. Customer represents and warrants that the payment information Customer provides to EventBuilder is correct and accurate and Customer is using a form of payment that Customer is legally authorized to use for this purpose. Customer agrees that Customer is solely liable for any payment or credit card fraud, abuse, or unauthorized use by Customer or others. Except for downgrades and cancellations by Customer in the manner permitted herein, payments are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.
Customer hereby authorizes EventBuilder to obtain employment and credit information about Customer from consumer reporting agencies or trade references, and Customer consents to our rechecking and reporting personal and/or business payment and credit history. EventBuilder may require a deposit, or increase an existing deposit, to establish or maintain Service which will be held as a partial guarantee of payment and cannot be used by Customer to pay Customer’s bill or delay payment. Unless otherwise required by law, deposits may be mixed with other funds and will not earn interest. If Customer defaults, or these Customer Terms are terminated, EventBuilder may, without notice to Customer, apply any deposit towards payment of charges due.
If Customer does not pay on time or if EventBuilder cannot charge the payment method Customer has on file for any reason, EventBuilder reserves the right to either suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the Services. In addition, if any payment is not received within 30 days after the due date, then EventBuilder may assess interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month (18% per year), or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from 30 days after the due date until the date paid. EventBuilder may assess an additional fee of fifty dollars ($50) for any check returned for nonpayment. If Customer’s unpaid fees are referred to an attorney or collections agency, Customer shall pay all reasonable attorney’s fees or collections agency fees. If Customer disputes any portion of an EventBuilder invoice, then Customer is responsible for notifying EventBuilder in writing of the disputed amounts and Customer is required to pay the undisputed amounts according to these Customer Terms. The Parties will use good faith efforts to reconcile the disputed amounts as soon as practicable. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked "Paid in Full") shall not waive any of our rights to collect the full amount due under these Customer Terms.
Subject to these Customer Terms, EventBuilder grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access, download, install, and use the Services in compliance with these Customer Terms (the “License”). The term of the License shall follow the Term of these Customer Terms. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services are licensed, not sold. Nothing in these Customer Terms is intended to or may be construed as conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise any ownership, license, or other grant of right to any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property of EventBuilder or any third party, except as expressly provided in these Customer Terms. EventBuilder reserves all rights not expressly granted in these Customer Terms.
The License granted in Section 8 is subject to reasonable use limits which may be modified from time-to-time by EventBuilder, in its sole discretion. Currently, for a single live event, simulated-live, or in-person event, a maximum of 5,000 Registrants (assuming a 50% attendance rate) is considered reasonable and permitted. There is no current maximum Registrant limit for on-demand events. EventBuilder works to ensure that all users of the Services can access the Services with a minimum of latency, technical difficulty, and bugs, which requires EventBuilder to place reasonable use limits on users. In addition to published and notified use limits, if EventBuilder suspects Customer has attempted to exceed ordinary use for the purpose of interfering with the use by other users (for instance, in a denial-of-service attack), EventBuilder may suspend Customer’s access. In certain cases, EventBuilder may offer customized use limits for an additional fee to accommodate power users.
EventBuilder does not provide data restoration services to customers as part of its standard service offerings, nor is it subject to specific legal or regulatory requirements related to PII backups. PII backup restoration requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Additional fees or other requirements may be imposed for restoration services.
a. Customer Responsibility for End Users. Customer will: (i) be responsible for compliance with these Customer Terms by all of Customer’s Event Registrants and all Users of the Services by, through or in connection with Customer’s subscription (together with Registrants, the “End Users”); (ii) ensure that each End User agrees to EventBuilder’s Privacy Notice and our Terms of Use and consents to the collection and processing of End Users’ personal information via the Services prior to such End Users accessing the Services; (iii) be responsible for the accuracy of Customer’s account, Registrant count, and the accuracy and legality of any data, including Personal Information, that is input to the Services by any and all End Users associated with Customer; (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services, and notify EventBuilder promptly of any unauthorized access or use; (v) use and ensure that Customer’s End Users use the Services only in accordance with these Customer Terms of Service, our Terms of Use (including without limitation our Community Standards), application documentation, and all applicable laws; and (vi) comply with the terms of service of any third party software with which Customer uses the Services. Any use of the Services in violation of the foregoing by Customer or its End Users that in EventBuilder’s judgment threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Services may result in immediate suspension of access to the Services.
b. Registrant Questions. The Services offer features that enable Customer to pose tailored questions and collect information from Registrants. Customer acknowledges that it is strictly prohibited to use these features to request information from a Registrant or other End User that: (i) could be used for purposes of identity theft, fraud, or other nefarious purposes; (ii) is subject to or controlled pursuant to international, federal, or state regulation; or (iii) is noncompliant with our Privacy Notice. Prohibited questions include, but are not limited to, those that request a Registrant or other End User’s social security number, other government identification, or credit card information. Customer agrees to use these features only in compliance with these Customer Terms of Service and our Privacy Notice.
c. Prohibited Uses. Customer further agrees, represents, and warrants that it and its End Users will not use the Services to do any of the following: (i) download, install or use the Services on any devices on which Customer does not have permission to operate the Services, or on which the Services cannot be legally and rightfully operated; (ii) for industrial, medical, safety-critical, military, or weapons purposes, including, but not limited to, using the Services in, or in association with, the design, construction, maintenance, or operation of any industrial, medical, safety-critical, military or weapons process, products, service, environments, or systems; (iii) to promote any goods or services or send communications that are illegal in the place offered to consumers; (iv) to advertise or promote illegal services, illegal gambling, counterfeit or pirated goods or services, or violate any securities or commodities regulations (such as to support a “pump and dump” scheme); (v) to defraud, deceive, or mislead anyone; (vi) to communicate or transmit content that is defamatory, dishonest, obscene, sexually explicit, pornographic, vulgar, or offensive; (vii) in connection with doing anything that is abusive, harmful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, bullying, malicious, discriminatory, deceptive, misleading, unethical, unlawful, or which violates another person’s privacy rights, or which is otherwise objectionable; (viii) modify, translate, adapt, or otherwise create derivative works or improvements of the Services; (ix) remove, disable, circumvent, or otherwise create or implement any workaround to any copy protection, rights management, or security features in or protecting the Services; (x) remove, delete, alter, or obscure any trademarks or any copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights notices from the Services, including any copy thereof; or (xi) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Services, or any features or functionality of the Services, to any unauthorized third party.
EventBuilder may, in our sole discretion, develop and provide Services updates, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches, other error corrections, and/or new features (collectively, including related documentation, “Updates”). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality. Depending on the Services used by Customer and Customer’s or Customer’s End Users’ device settings, (a) any Updates EventBuilder provides will be present the next time Customer logs into the Services or (b) when a device is connected to the internet either (i) the Services will automatically download and install all available Updates or (ii) the End User may receive notice of or be prompted to download and install available Updates. Customer agrees to promptly download and install all Updates and acknowledges and agrees that the Services or portions thereof may not properly operate should Customer fail to do so. Customer agrees that EventBuilder has no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality. Customer further agrees that all Updates will be deemed part of the Services and be subject to all terms and conditions of these Customer Terms.
Customer acknowledges that it has read and agrees to EventBuilder’s DPA, Privacy Notice, and Terms of Use, each incorporated herein by this reference, and Customer consents to all actions taken by EventBuilder with respect to Customer’s and its End Users’ Personal Information (as that term is defined in the Privacy Notice) as described in the Privacy Notice and the DPA. Customer agrees that EventBuilder will collect certain Personal Information about Customer’s Registrants and other End Users in accordance with Customer’s Instructions (as defined in the DPA) as part of EventBuilder’s provision of the Services, and Customer is solely responsible for obtaining any necessary consents and authorizations from such End Users and other individuals as may be required by applicable local, state, federal, and foreign laws (“Applicable Laws”), contracts, or internal policies or guidelines. Failure to comply with the DPA, Privacy Notice, or Terms of Use is a breach of these Customer Terms and may result in EventBuilder restricting Customer or its End Users’ access or use of certain Events, features, or functions of the Services.
EventBuilder will not delete any Customer content, including registration pages, recording files, or uploaded files, that Customer uploads while Customer’s subscription and account remains active, unless Customer designates that EventBuilder deletes some or all of such Customer content and EventBuilder agrees to do so. If Customer’s subscription or account is terminated, expires or becomes inactive, EventBuilder reserves the right in our sole discretion to deactivate Customer’s Portal and access to the Portal. EventBuilder will keep Customer’s content associated with Customer’s account and Portal for 30 days after termination, expiration or deactivation, but Customer will not have access to the Portal during these 30 days. If Customer does not resume an active and current subscription within 30 days, EventBuilder shall delete all Customer Materials (defined in Section 16(b)) and EventBuilder reserves the right, in our sole discretion to delete all other Customer content and Customer’s Portal. Registrants’ Personal Information collected in connection with Customer’s Events or recordings is collected and processed as described in our Privacy Notice and will be retained for a maximum of two (2) years from the date of collection. At the conclusion of the two-year retention period, such Personal Information will be redacted. Customers that require more frequent redaction can configure their Portal to a different redaction interval. Personal Information in redacted form is accessible to Customer as long as Customer’s subscription and account are current and active.
a. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Customer agrees to, at all times, comply with all Applicable Laws in using the Services, including without limitation: (i) laws governing consumer privacy and data security; (ii) the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act, the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation, and the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act; (iii) applicable healthcare laws; (iv) the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010, each as amended; and (v) all United States export laws, rules, and regulations, including but not limited to Export Administration Regulations, and Customer agrees not to export the Services or any component thereof without first obtaining all required authorizations or licenses.
b. Specific Customer Responsibilities. In addition to and without limiting the provisions of this Section 15, Customer shall be solely responsible for: (i) providing notice and obtaining consent from each Registrant in compliance with Applicable Laws, including without limitation, notice and consent with respect to Personal Information collection, use, processing, storage, sharing or disclosure, and sale to third parties, as applicable; (ii) if Customer chooses to use the Services in a manner that permits or fails to prevent a Registrant under the age of 16 to register for a Customer event, Customer agrees to be solely responsible for obtaining any and all legally required parent or guardian consent for such registration, Personal Information collection and processing, and participation in the event; and (iii) if Customer engages in any activity that involves or results in the “sale” of Personal Information, as that term is defined under Applicable Laws, that was collected or processed using the Services, Customer agrees to ensure that Customer only engages in the “sale” of Personal Information of a Registrant if that Registrant has affirmatively consented to the sale of their Personal Information and has the option to opt-out of such “sale” of Personal Information at any time and without penalty or discrimination.
c. No Representation of Legal Compliance. EventBuilder makes no representations that the Services or Customer’s use thereof comply with legal or regulatory requirements applicable to Customer or Customer’s Registrants. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer is solely responsible for notifying EventBuilder if Customer’s use of the Services or any component thereof or any provision of these Customer Terms violates any law, regulation, or rule of Customer’s locality. Use of the Services from jurisdictions where such access is illegal is prohibited. If Customer or any Registrant chooses to use the Services from other jurisdictions, Customer does so at its own initiative and is responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. EventBuilder is not responsible for any violation of law in relation to Customer’s use of the Services. Nothing in these Customer Terms shall affect an individual’s statutory consumer rights, as applicable.
Each Party will own and retain all rights to its pre-existing intellectual property and any intellectual property developed outside of the Services performed under these Customer Terms.
a. Customer Data. Customer Data will be the sole property of Customer, except to the extent that it consists of EventBuilder Property (defined below). EventBuilder will promptly provide to Customer or provide Customer rights and access to retrieve/download, any and all Data requested by Customer or as otherwise set forth in these Customer Terms. As used in these Customer Terms, “Customer Data” means any data input to the Services by Customer or a Customer’s Registrant, including but not limited to: (i) Registrant Personal Information; (ii) presentations and content developed by Customer using EventBuilder provided software applications; and (iii) attendance data entered into an EventBuilder provided and hosted application.
b. Customer Materials. From time to time, Customer may provide to EventBuilder certain products, samples, and other materials (collectively “Customer Materials”) to be used by EventBuilder in connection with the Services. Customer represents and warrants that, with respect to any Customer Materials Customer uploads to the Services: (i) Customer owns or has the right to upload and use such Customer Materials; (ii) Customer has all rights and authority to grant to EventBuilder the license to Customer Materials, and Customer agrees to be solely responsible for any liability associated with granting such license to EventBuilder; and (iii) such Customer Materials, or its use by Customer on the Services as contemplated by these Customer Terms, does not violate these Customer Terms or any other rights set forth within our Privacy Notice, applicable law, or the intellectual property, publicity, personality, or other rights of others or imply any affiliation with or endorsement of Customer or the Customer Materials by EventBuilder without express written consent from EventBuilder. Customer hereby grants EventBuilder a nonexclusive, irrevocable license to copy, use, and distribute any Customer Materials provided to it to the extent necessary to perform the Services. Customer or its suppliers retain all other interest in Customer Materials and related intellectual property. EventBuilder has no right to sublicense the right to such Customer Materials, except as necessary to an EventBuilder Service Provider (as defined in the DPA), nor has or will acquire any right or property interest in Customer Materials. If the Customer Materials come with a separate license, the terms of that license will apply and, in the case of conflict with these Customer Terms, shall control. EventBuilder may, but has no obligation to, monitor, review, or edit Customer Materials. In all cases, EventBuilder reserves the right to remove or disable access to any Customer Materials for any or no reason, including Customer Materials that, in our sole discretion, violates these Customer Terms. EventBuilder may take these actions without prior notification to Customer or any third party. Removal or disabling of access to Customer Materials shall be at our sole discretion, and EventBuilder does not promise to remove or disable access to any specific Customer Materials. Customer is solely responsible for all Customer Materials it uploads to the Services. EventBuilder is not responsible for any Customer Materials nor does EventBuilder endorse any opinion contained in any Customer Materials. Upon termination of these Customer Terms, the license will terminate automatically and EventBuilder will delete all Customer Materials held by EventBuilder according to the procedure described in Section 14 herein.
c. Works For Hire. All original works of authorship which are generated by EventBuilder as part of the provision of the Services to Customer pursuant to these Customer Terms and which are protectable by copyright will be deemed “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101, under applicable copyright law subject to; (i) EventBuilder’s retention of its rights in any EventBuilder Property as provided in this Section 16; and (ii) any third party’s retention of its rights in any intellectual property licensed to Customer.
d. EventBuilder Property. Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, Customer and EventBuilder agree that the following are EventBuilder property, and shall be subject to the licensing terms set forth in Section 8 and this Section 16, as applicable: (i) Contents and Ownership, as set forth in Section 16(e); (ii) EventBuilder software applications and all enhancements to such software applications; (iii) documentation supporting use of EventBuilder provided software applications, training documentation and other materials; (iv) EventBuilder provided documentation on process designs shall be deemed EventBuilder Property; and (v) any inventions, processes, know-how, trade secrets, improvements, other intellectual property and other assets, which are (a) owned or controlled by EventBuilder as of the Effective Date or (b) acquired or developed by EventBuilder after the Effective Date independently of its performance of Services under these Customer Terms (collectively “EventBuilder Property”). Customer and EventBuilder agree that any EventBuilder Property or improvements, modifications or enhancements specific thereto that are developed by EventBuilder during the Term are the sole and exclusive property of EventBuilder. For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information belonging to Customer and any data or information generated, conceived or derived from Confidential Information belonging to Customer is not EventBuilder Property. To the extent that any EventBuilder Property or any other deliverable under these Customer Terms provided by EventBuilder consists of Customer Data, Customer hereby grants to EventBuilder a non-exclusive, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide license to use such Customer Data in connection with EventBuilder’s internal business purposes.
e. Contents and Ownership. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the general incorporation by reference of the Terms of Use, those Terms of Use provisions governing Contents and Ownership, including without limitation Copyright, Trademarks, Feedback, Reports, and User Content, are expressly incorporated into these Customer Terms by this reference. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 16(e) is not intended to and shall not be interpreted as limiting or restricting the applicability or enforceability of any provision of the Terms of Use as between Customer and EventBuilder.
a. Confidential Information. For the purposes of these Customer Terms, “Confidential Information” means any non-public information, whether or not designated as confidential, disclosed to one Party (“Recipient”) by the other Party (“Discloser”) which, under the circumstances of disclosure ought to be treated as confidential. Confidential Information includes without limitation: (i) released or unreleased software or hardware products, source code, technologies, or future projects or products; (ii) business policies, strategies, or practices; (iii) customer or supplier lists; (iv) Customer Data; (v) transactional, sales, and marketing information related to the Services; (vi) electronic or written correspondence between the Parties; (vii) Reports provided to Customer; (viii) concepts, ideas, models, designs, data, documents, research, studies, intellectual property, and trade secrets; and (ix) any information that contains, reflects, or is based upon, in whole or in part, any Information furnished to Recipient by Discloser, including without limitation any notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations, memoranda, or other documents or tangible objects. Information may also include information previously disclosed to Discloser by third parties. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no act or omission of Recipient; (b) is lawfully received from a third party without restriction on disclosure; (c) is already known by Recipient at the time it is disclosed by Discloser, as shown by Recipient’s written records; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient without reference to or reliance upon Discloser’s Confidential Information, as shown by Recipient’s written records.
b. Confidentiality Obligations. Recipient agrees that it will itself, and will cause its directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors to: (i) hold Discloser’s Confidential Information in strict confidence using the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care; (ii) not disclose the Confidential Information of Discloser to any third party without Discloser’s prior written consent, except as expressly permitted under these Customer Terms; and (iii) limit access to Discloser’s Confidential Information to those of its employees, service providers, or agents having a need to know for purposes of performance hereunder who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may make disclosures as required or requested by a court of law or any governmental entity or agency, provided that Recipient provides Discloser with reasonable prior notice to enable Discloser to seek confidential treatment of such information through a protective order or otherwise. Confidential Information disclosed by Discloser under these Customer Terms shall, in all respects, remain the sole property of Discloser and nothing contained herein shall be construed as granting or conferring to Recipient any license, interest, ownership rights, or intellectual property rights in such Information. Recipient acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information would cause irreparable harm to Discloser, the extent of which would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, Recipient agrees that, in addition to any other remedies to which Discloser may be legally entitled, Discloser shall have the right to immediate injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of a breach of this Section 17 by Recipient.
c. Return of Materials. Recipient will perform the following promptly upon Discloser's request or in the event of termination or expiration of these Customer Terms, according to the procedure described in Section 14 herein: (i) permanently erase all electronic files containing or summarizing any of Discloser’s Confidential Information (except for any computer records or files that have been created pursuant to Recipient’s automatic archiving and back-up procedures and the removal of which is not technically reasonable); (ii) destroy all tangible embodiments of Discloser’s Confidential Information (in every form and medium); (iii) if so directed by Discloser, provide access to copies of the Confidential Information; and (iv) if so directed by Discloser, confirm to Discloser in writing that Recipient has fully complied with the foregoing obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient shall be permitted to retain one (1) copy of Discloser’s Confidential Information for its legal archives (subject to a continuing obligation of confidentiality) or as otherwise required by applicable individual contracts, laws, regulations and ordinances.
EventBuilder will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain availability of the Services during Customer’s subscribed-to service times. Customer agrees and understands that there will be times when the Services will not be available, such as scheduled maintenance times; outages; emergency maintenance; unavailability caused by software, hardware, other Customers; and causes beyond our reasonable control. EventBuilder will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer of planned downtime and unavailability of the Services. EventBuilder is not liable for any delays, interruptions, or other transmission errors resulting from any lack of Service access or caused by Customer’s device or Customer’s internet or wireless service provider.
EventBuilder may, in its sole discretion, make free, trial, and/or Beta Versions of the Services available to Customer. Because free, trial, or beta offerings are different from paid subscriptions, the following special terms apply:
a. Free or Trial Subscriptions; Demonstration Versions. If EventBuilder makes the Services, or a demonstration version of the Services, available to Customer on a free or trial basis, it is so that Customer can use the Services before purchasing a subscription to determine if the Services meet Customer’s needs. Free/trial subscriptions to the Services, and any demonstration versions, are subject in all respects to these Customer Terms, except that EventBuilder may discontinue the Services or Customer’s ability to use the Services or demonstration version at any time, with or without notice to Customer and without further obligations to Customer.
b. Beta Versions. EventBuilder may make new versions of the Services available prior to their release to the general public, for testing and evaluation purposes (“Beta Versions”). Beta Versions of the Services are subject in all respects to the terms of these Customer Terms, except that EventBuilder may discontinue the Services or Customer’s ability to use a Beta Version at any time, with or without notice to Customer and without further obligations to Customer. Customer agrees to notify EventBuilder of all comments or suggestions about the Services, including without limitation any problems and ideas for improvements, which come to Customer’s attention during its use of the Beta Version. By permitting Customer to access, download, install, or use a Beta Version, EventBuilder does not grant any additional right to Customer under any copyrights, patents, trademarks, or trade secret information.
Customer represents and warrants that: (a) if Customer is a business entity, Customer is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction and all jurisdictions in which its conduct of business requires; (b) Customer has full right, power and authority to enter into and perform these Customer Terms without the consent of any third party; (c) Customer will comply with these Customer Terms and all Applicable Laws; (d) Customer is not a party to any agreement which would prevent it from fulfilling its obligations under these Customer Terms or impose conflicting obligations on Customer, and Customer agrees that during the Term, it will not enter into any agreement to provide services which would in any way prevent it from performing its obligations under these Customer Terms or impose conflicting obligations on Customer; and (e) the foregoing statements are true and correct as of the date of execution of these Customer Terms and will continue to be true and correct for the duration of the Term.

In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, EventBuilder reserves the right to deactivate, ban, disallow, cancel, or discontinue Customer’s or its Registrants’ use of Services if EventBuilder determines, in its sole discretion, that the Services have been misused, or for the purpose of enforcing the terms of these Customer Terms, or EventBuilder’s Privacy Notice or Terms of Use, or for any other reason which EventBuilder, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to preserve its intellectual property and/or commercial rights.
