By signing up for the Software, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, agree to, and accept this Agreement.  If you do not agree to this Agreement, then you may not use the Software. By signing up for the Software you also agree to accept any upgrades or revisions to the Software.

1. Overview

This Agreement governs the Software, which includes ConnectBooster’s Software-as-a-service, associated components, media, printed, and online documentation.

2. Reservation of Rights

The Software is protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws and treaties. ConnectBooster reserves all rights not expressly granted to You in this Agreement.

3. Grant of License

You are granted a single, personal, limited, non-transferable, and non-exclusive right and license (“License”) to use the Software under the terms stated in this Agreement. Title, copyright and ownership of the Software and any related documentation remains with ConnectBooster.  Your License will immediately cease if any of the terms, conditions, or obligations herein are violated.

4. Subscription Licensing and Term

You will be bound for the entire Term of this Agreement. “Term” is defined as the period of time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date set forth in the Order Form, or, if later, the expiration date of any SOW. If the Order Form does not contain a termination date, the Term shall be deemed to end on the later of the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date and the expiration date of any SOW. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, at the end of any Term, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional Terms equal to the greater of the expiring Term length or three (3) years, unless either party gives the other party notice of nonrenewal at least 30 days and no more than 60 days before the end of the relevant Term. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, pricing during any renewal Term will be the same as that during the immediately preceding Term plus an increase not to exceed five percent (5%) plus any increase in the U.S. Prime Rate, as determined by Connect Booster in its sole discretion. ConnectBooster will automatically charge Your credit card or debit the provided bank account at the beginning of the next term unless Your subscription has been timely cancelled. Failure to maintain updated financial information will result in termination of your subscription.  

5. Prices, Taxes and Incidental Charges

Upon renewal, ConnectBooster will adjust its pricing and if it does so will provide notice to you of the new price. Any price adjustments will not be retroactive and will take effect upon the renewal of the subscription term. Subscription prices do not include any taxes, or other fees required by law, and are the sole responsibility of You to pay. ConnectBooster may collect taxes if required by law and You agree to pay these to ConnectBooster when applicable.   

6. Product Support Services

ConnectBooster may make available product support services, training, and other materials (collectively “Support”) related to the Software.

8. Remedies and Limitation of Liability

In no event will ConnectBooster be liable to You for any direct or indirect damages including loss of profits, lost savings, loss of data, or other special, incidental, consequential, indirect, or punitive damages arising out of Your use of or inability to use the Software.
