Ltd. doing business as iRATING and any of its affiliates or doing business as designations (collectively, “iRATING”) and sets forth the terms of service under which iRATING makes the internet website at www.irating.net and its sister websites (together, the “Site”), and the services available through the Site or otherwise provided by iRATING, including iRATING and any related suite of services (the “Services”), to each person or entity (each a “User”) accessing or using the Site or the Services. (A person who responds to a survey may be referred to as a “Respondent,” but may also considered a User under these terms.) THE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE, UNDER WHICH YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. PLEASE SEE SECTION 12 FOR THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.

These Terms, together with any and all other terms, conditions, rules, policies or procedures published on the Site which are specifically cited in this Terms of Service (“Additional Term”), each as updated from time to time by iRATING, constitute a binding, legal agreement between iRATING and User (collectively, the “Agreement”). To the extent you and iRATING execute a separate written statement of work, side letter, or other written instrument (each, a “SOW”) which incorporates by reference this Terms of Service , these Terms shall supplement such SOW and the SOW shall also be a part of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between a SOW and these Terms, the conflicting provision in the SOW shall supersede the conflicting provision in these Terms.

By using the Site or the Services (including by responding to emails, surveys, polls or other communications received from other Users of the Site and the Services), each User hereby agrees to be and is bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree with any of the Terms, do not access or otherwise use the Site or the Services or any information contained on the Site.

iRATING may make changes to the content and Services offered on the Site at any time. iRATING can change the Terms at any time (including any Additional Terms), effective on a prospective basis. If iRATING changes the Terms, iRATING will post an updated set of Terms on this Site with a notice that the Terms have been changed, and iRATING may, but is not required to, send registered Users an email notice of the changes. If any modification is unacceptable to you, you must provide written notice to iRATING of your objection to such changes and terminate this Agreement within seven (7) days of the date of such change, and you shall cease using the Site and the Services. If you fail to provide such notice or continue using the Site and the Services following such changes, you will be conclusively deemed to have accepted the change.

Each User hereby warrants that if it is a corporation or other legal entity, such User is validly formed and existing under the laws of its jurisdiction and has duly authorized its agent(s) to enter into this Agreement and, if an individual, such User is of the age of majority in his or her place of residence.

1. Subscriptions and Payment

1.1. In consideration of the license grant (a “Subscription”) under this Agreement, the User will pay to iRATING the upfront non-refundable license fee for the Software in accordance with the applicable SOW. Except as provided herein, there shall be no refund, rebate, or credit whatsoever. Any extension of the use of the Software beyond the licensed Scope of Use may incur additional fees and will be subject to the terms of this Agreement. iRATING may change such fees at any time and in its sole discretion, provided that any such change shall become effective at the end of the then-current term of User’s Subscription. Late fees shall accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowable by law, whichever is less, and User shall reimburse iRATING for all collection costs and expenses. User’s right to use the Software is specifically conditioned on User’s payment iRATING of the applicable license fee. The license fee shall not be subject to future performance obligations of iRATING and shall not be applicable against future services provided by iRATING to the User. The license fee is determined on the basis of licensed Scope of Use agreed in each applicable SOW.

1.2 Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel auto-renewal. You may cancel auto-renewal with ninety (90) days written notice, in which case your Subscription will continue until the end of that billing cycle before terminating. You may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription immediately after the Subscription starts if you do not want it to renew. User will be charged a renewal rate equal to the rate for the immediately preceding Subscription period, based upon the Subscription program (annual, quarterly, monthly, etc.) that User has chosen, unless iRATING has notified User of any new rate in advance. A cancellation of a Subscription requested by User through User’s account will become effective on the date that the then-current Subscription period expires.

1.3. If User has elected to pay the fees referred to in Section 1.1 by credit card, User hereby warrants that User is an authorized signatory for such credit card, the credit card information provided by User is correct, and User shall promptly notify iRATING of any changes to such credit card information. User acknowledges and agrees that if User’s credit card payment cannot be processed for any reason, iRATING may suspend or cancel User’s Subscription. User agrees to provide iRATING with valid and updated credit card information, or with valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to iRATING. If the SOW specifies that the payment will be by a method other than a credit card, iRATING will invoice User in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant SOW. Unless otherwise stated in the SOW, invoiced charges are due upon signature from Effective Date of the SOW. User is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to iRATING and notifying iRATING of any changes to such information.
