5. Using the Services 

5.1 Establishing an Account. Certain features, functions, parts or elements of the Services can be used or accessed only by holders of an Account. The person who wishes to create an Account must: 

complete the sign-up form on the Web Site; and 

accept these Terms by clicking “Sign up” or other similar button 

Each Client may have only one Account. If several persons need to use an Account on behalf of Client, Client must designate such persons as Users. Each such User shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms. 

If Client has designated Users and granted them Authorization, such Users will be deemed to be authorized to act on behalf of Client when using the Account. Supplier is not responsible for verifying the right of representation or validity of Authorization of any User. However, Supplier may ask additional information or proof of the person’s credentials. 

A User may be associated with multiple Clients and Accounts. Deleting a User from one Account will not remove the User from the Platform if he/she is connected to multiple Accounts. 

The Client and any User associated with an Account must provide Supplier with true, accurate, current, and complete information about the Client, Users or Account and keep it up to date. 

5.2 Logging Into an Account. Supplier shall provide Client with a username and password (“Login Credentials”) to be used to log in to its Account. These Login Credentials must not be used by multiple persons. If Client has designated several Users, each User will be provided with separate Login Credentials. Client and each User are responsible for keeping confidential all login credentials associated with an Account. Client must promptly notify Supplier: 

of any disclosure, loss or unauthorized use of any Login Credentials; 

of a User’s departure from the Client’s organization; 

of a change in a User’s role in the Client’s organization; 

of any termination of a User’s right for any reason. 

5.3 Termination of Account. Client may terminate these Terms at any time as provided in Section 16. Supplier shall permanently delete the Account within six months of the effective date of the termination. 

5.4 Fees. The use of an Account is subject to a Fee. Upon sign-up for an Account, the Client must select a Plan. Different rates apply to different Plans. The applicable Fee is charged in advance on monthly or annual payment intervals, unless agreed otherwise between parties. All Fees are non-refundable, i.e. there are no refunds or credits for periods where the Client did not use an activated Account, used it only partially, or deactivated the Account or terminated these Terms during an ongoing payment interval. If, after signing up, Client elects to upgrade to a more expensive Plan, the unused portion of any prepaid Fees shall be applied to the Fee of the more expensive Plan. 

All Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies or duties applicable under any applicable law, unless stated otherwise stated herein. Client is solely responsible for the payment of such taxes, levies or duties. 

5.5 Changing Plans. Any Client has the right to upgrade or downgrade a current Plan at any time by selecting a new Plan among the collection of Plans determined by the Supplier. In such an event, the Client’s credit card on file with the Supplier will automatically be charged with a Fee for the next payment interval with the rate stipulated in the new Plan. 

Downgrading of the current Plan may cause the loss of features or capacity of the Account, as well as the loss of Client Data. 

5.6 Free Trial. A new Client may be entitled to a Free Trial, unless the Client has applied for the Account as a result of an ongoing marketing campaign organized by the Supplier in co-operation with its partners. The Client is not required to provide any credit card information during the period of Free Trial. If the period of Free Trial has expired, the Account will be automatically deactivated. In order to prevent deactivation or to reactivate the Account, the Client is required to select a suitable Plan and pay the first Fee. If the Client does not pay the first Fee within 2 weeks as of the expiry of the Free Trial, Supplier has the right to permanently delete the Account, including all Client Data therein. 

In addition to the current collection of Plans, Supplier may offer special discounts and motivation schemes (for example finder’s fees, etc.) 

6. Payment 

6.1 Credit Card Authorization. Supplier may seek pre-authorization of Client’s credit card account prior to your purchase of Services in order to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. You authorize such credit card account to pay any amounts described herein, and authorize Supplier to charge all sums described in these Terms to such credit card account. You agree to provide the Supplier updated information regarding your credit card account upon Supplier’s request and any time the information earlier provided is no longer valid. 

6.2 Electronic Invoice. If Supplier has not sought pre-authorization of your credit card, then before the end of each payment interval, Client will be issued an electronic invoice for payment of the Fee of the next payment interval. Client must pay the invoice by the due date indicated on the invoice. 

6.3 Overage Charges. Upon delay with any payments, Supplier may require the Client to pay interest on the delay (penalty for late payment) for the period as of the time the payment obligation falls due until conforming performance is rendered. The interest rate of penalty for late payment due shall be 5% per year. Upon calculation of the penalty for late payment, one year shall be deemed to contain 365 calendar days. 

7. Client Data 

7.1 Uploading Client Data to Platform. If the Client uploads Client Data to the Platform, such Client Data and any processing of such Client Data must be in compliance with these Terms and applicable law. All rights, title and interest in and to the Client Data belong to the Client or third persons (including Users) whether posted and/or uploaded by you or made available on or through the Services by Supplier. By uploading Client Data to the Platform, Client authorizes Supplier to process the Client Data. The Client is responsible for ensuring that: 

the Client and any of the Users associated with the Account do not create, transmit, display or make otherwise available any Client Data that violates the terms of these Terms, the rights of Supplier, other Clients or Users, or is harmful (for example viruses, worms, malware and other destructive codes), offensive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, pornographic, obscene, invasive of another’s privacy, defamatory, hateful or otherwise unlawful; and 

the Client and all of the Users associated with the Account have the necessary rights to use the Client Data, including to insert it into the Platform and process it by means of the Account. 

7.2 No Guarantee of Accuracy. Supplier does not guarantee any accuracy with respect to any information contained in any Client Data, and strongly recommends that you think carefully about what you transmit, submit or post to or through the Services. You understand that all information contained in Client Data is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Client Data originated. This means that Client, and not Supplier, is entirely responsible for all Client Data that is uploaded, posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the Services, as well as for any actions taken by the Suppliers or other Clients or Users as a result of such Client Data. 

7.3 Unlawful Client Data. Supplier is not obliged to pre-screen, monitor or filter any Client Data or acts of its processing by the Client in order to discover any unlawful nature therein. However, if such unlawful Client Data or the action of its unlawful processing is discovered or brought to the attention of Supplier or if there is reason to believe that certain Client Data is unlawful, Supplier has the right to: 

notify the Client of such unlawful Client Data; 

deny its publication on the Web Site or its insertion to the System; 

demand that the Client bring the unlawful Client Data into compliance with these Terms and applicable law; 

temporarily or permanently remove the unlawful Client Data from the Web Site or Account, restrict access to it or delete it. 

If Supplier is presented convincing evidence that the Client Data is not unlawful, Supplier may, at its sole discretion, restore such Client Data, which was removed from the Web Site or Account or access to which was restricted. 

In addition, in the event Supplier believes in its sole discretion Client Data violates applicable laws, rules or regulations or these Terms, Supplier may (but has no obligation), to remove such Client Data at any time with or without notice. 

7.4 Compelled Disclosure. Supplier may disclose a Client’s confidential information to the extent compelled by law to do so. In such instance, Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Client with prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and Client shall provide reasonable assistance, at its cost, if Client wishes to contest the disclosure. If Supplier is compelled by law to disclose Client’s confidential information as part of a civil proceeding to which Supplier is a party, and Client is not contesting the disclosure, Client will reimburse Supplier for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that confidential information.

20. CCPA Data Processing Addendum  

This CCPA Data Processing Addendum (the “Addendum”) reflects the requirements of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and its implementing regulations, as amended or superseded from time to time (California Civil Code §§ 1798.100 to 1798.199) (the “CCPA”). This Addendum makes clear that KNOSC is acting as a Service Provider for CCPA purposes. 

This Addendum is an addendum to the KNOSC Terms of Service (“Agreement”) and its incorporated Privacy Policy between KNOSC and the Client (each a “Party”; collectively the “Parties”) and is in effect for so long as KNOSC maintains Personal Information (as defined in and to the extent protected by the CCPA) provided by Client or which is collected on behalf of Client by KNOSC (hereinafter, the “Personal Information”). This Addendum shall only apply and bind the Parties if and to the extent Client is a Business under the CCPA. This Addendum prevails over any conflicting terms of the Agreement or Privacy Policy, but does not otherwise modify the Agreement or Privacy Policy. All capitalized terms not defined in this Addendum shall have the meanings set forth in the CCPA. Client enters into this Addendum on behalf of itself and, to the extent required under the CCPA, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates (defined below). 

The parties agree as follows: 

20.1 Definitions  

20.1.1. “Affiliate” means an entity that directly or indirectly Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with an entity. 

20.1.2. “Authorized Affiliate” means any of Clients’ Affiliate(s) permitted to or otherwise receiving the benefit of the Services pursuant to the Agreement. 

20.2 Scope and Applicability of this Addendum  

20.2.1. This Addendum applies to the collection, retention, use, and disclosure of the Personal Information to provide Services to Client pursuant to the Agreement or to perform a Business Purpose. 

20.2.2. Client is a Business and appoints KNOSC as a Service Provider to process the Personal Information on behalf of Client. Client is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the CCPA applicable to Businesses. 

20.2.3. KNOSC’s collection, retention, use, or disclosure of Personal Information for its own purposes independent of providing the Services specified in the Agreement are outside the scope of this Addendum. 

20.3 Restrictions on Processing 

20.3.1. KNOSC is prohibited from retaining, using, or disclosing the Personal Information for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing the Services specified in the Agreement for Client, as set out in this Addendum, or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA. 

20.3.2. KNOSC shall not further collect, sell, or use the Personal Information except as necessary to perform the Business Purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, KNOSC shall not use the Personal Information for the purpose of providing services to another person or entity, except that KNOSC may combine Personal Information received from one or more entities to which it provides similar services to the extent necessary to detect data security incidents, or protect against fraudulent or illegal activity. 

20.4. Notice 

20.4.1. Client represents and warrants that it has provided notice that the Personal Information is being used or shared consistent with Cal. Civ. Code 1798.140(t)(2)(C)(i). 

20.5 Consumer Rights 

20.5.1. KNOSC shall provide reasonable assistance to Client in facilitating compliance with Consumer rights requests. 

20.5.2. Upon direction by Client and within a commercially reasonable amount of time, KNOSC shall delete the Personal Information. 

20.5.2.1 KNOSC shall not be required to delete any of the Personal Information to comply with a Consumer’s request directed by Client if it is necessary to maintain such information in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code 1798.105(d), in which case KNOSC shall promptly inform Client of the exceptions relied upon under 1798.105(d) and KNOSC shall not use the Personal Information retained for any other purpose than provided for by that exception. 

20.6 Deidentified Information 

20.6.1. In the event that either Party shares Deidentified Information with the other Party, the receiving Party warrants that it: (i) has implemented technical safeguards that prohibit reidentification of the Consumer to whom the information may pertain; (ii) has implemented business processes that specifically prohibit reidentification of the information; (iii) has implemented business processes to prevent inadvertent release of Deidentified Information; (iv) will make no attempt to reidentify the information. 

20.7 Mergers, sale, or other asset transfer 

20.7.1. In the event that either Party transfers to a Third Party the Personal Information of a Consumer as an asset that is part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transaction in which the Third Party assumes control of all or part of such Party to the Agreement, that information shall be used or shared consistently with applicable law. If a Third Party materially alters how it uses or shares the Personal Information of a Consumer in a manner that is materially inconsistent with the promises made at the time of collection, it shall provide prior notice of the new or changed practice to the Consumer in accordance with applicable law. 

20.8 As required by law 

20.8.1. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary of the Agreement, the Privacy Policy or this Addendum, KNOSC may cooperate with law enforcement agencies concerning conduct or activity that it reasonably and in good faith believes may violate international, federal, state, or local law. 

20.9 No Sale of Personal Information 

20.9.1. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the exchange of Personal Information between the Parties does not form part of any monetary or other valuable consideration exchanged between the Parties with respect to the Agreement, the Privacy Policy or this Addendum.
