IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN WHICH CASE THE TERMS “YOU” OR “YOUR” SHALL REFER TO SUCH ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT SELECT TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT OR PURCHASE CREDITS AND USE THE SERVICE. IF YOU ARE A USER INVITED BY A COLLEAGUE, BY CREATING AND USING YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU AGREE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
1. LICENSE AGREEMENT
(a) License Grant. Upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Qlutch grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as provided below), limited license to use the Service and its features.
As long as your account is in good standing, you are granted a license to use this Service. Your account shall be considered in good standing if you haven’t breached any of the terms of this Agreement or the Terms of Use, and if you’re a paying customer, as long as your credit card company authorizes and accepts any charges for your purchases during your use of the Service and you abide by this Agreement and our Terms of Use.
By creating an account to use the Service, you may view content and use the functionality of the Service. If you purchase credits to download plans, reports, tools and documents, you may use these during the course of your education or work and modify them as you wish. Only individuals listed as users on your account have these rights.
You may not, however, publicly distribute or sell any of the content that is part of this Service, either content that is downloaded by you, even if you purchase credits, or content that is included in the website portion of this Service; publish the exact or reasonably similar content to the content contained in the Service on any public website, including your own; mass distribute any parts of the Service; or resell any part of the Service without the express written consent of Edmundson Group. This applies even after your account and license to use this Service expires or is terminated. The content and tools delivered by the Service are meant for your educational and internal business use only. We monitor the Internet and strictly enforce the terms of this Agreement.
You also may not: (i) store or create infringing, obscene, threatening, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortuous material, including material harmful to children or violative of third party privacy rights; (ii) send spam or otherwise duplicative or unsolicited messages in violation of applicable laws; (iii) send or store material containing software viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents or programs; (iv) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or the data contained therein; or (v) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems or networks.
(b) Software Access and Documents. After you agree to the terms of this Agreement by creating an account, you will be given a single user ID and password to access the software, electronic tools and the electronic files contained in the Service from the qlutch.com website.
You agree that you are responsible for all files and content posted to your account. You may not give anyone else your username or password. You must be 13 years old or older to use this service, and must be a human being. No account registered by automated programs or “bots” are allowed. You agree to use the Service at your own risk. You may not use this Service for any illegal purpose or activity.
You may not access the Service for purposes of monitoring its availability, performance or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account information, including your username and password. Qlutch will not be liable for any damages or loss resulting from your failure to do so.
You also agree that you will not reverse engineer or access the Service in order to (a) build a competitive product or service, (b) build a product or service using similar ideas, features, content, functions or graphics of the Service, or (c) copy any ideas, features, content, functions or graphics of the Service. User accounts cannot be shared or used by more than one individual user.
2. PRIVACY & SECURITY
Qlutch’s privacy and security policies may be viewed at qlutch.com. Qlutch reserves the right to modify its privacy and security policies in its reasonable discretion from time to time. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new content, tools and resources, shall be subject to this Agreement.
Because the Service is a hosted, online application, Qlutch may occasionally need to notify all users of the Service (whether or not they have opted out in accordance with Qlutch’s privacy policy) of important announcements regarding the operation of the Service. If you are a user of the Service, you agree that Qlutch can disclose the fact that you are a user of the Service and the version of the Service that you are using, and that Qlutch can email you information about the Service if necessary.
You also acknowledge that Qlutch uses third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Service.
3. ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND DATA
Qlutch does not own any data, information or material that you have created and submit to the Service in the course of using the Service (“Customer Data”). You, not Qlutch, shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to use of all Customer Data, and Qlutch shall not be responsible or liable for the deletion, correction, destruction, damage, loss or failure to store any Customer Data. Qlutch reserves the right to withhold, remove and/or discard Customer Data without notice for any breach of this Agreement by you, including, without limitation, copyright violations or your non-payment. Upon termination, your right to access or use Customer Data immediately ceases, and Qlutch shall have no obligation to maintain or forward any Customer Data.
4. TERM
The term of this agreement is month-to-month and commences upon your creation of an account. If you purchase credits, those credits must be used within 365 days of purchase or they will expire. The Service is a pay-as-you-go service, and you are not entitled to any refunds of payments for credits, whether you use them or not. Thus, no refunds are provided, either for unused credits or expired credits. If Qlutch.com were to be purchased by another party, or planned to sunset the offering, Qlutch would notify all users, and any users with unexpired credits will have 14 days to either use the credits from within their account, or email us to request plans to use the remaining unexpired credits, or both, depending upon a new owner’s request.
Your rights under this Agreement may be terminated by Qlutch immediately and without notice if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. Upon termination of your account, you agree that Qlutch has no obligation to retain your customer data, credits, content or files, and may delete them at its discretion after the Term expires and your account is closed.
5. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
You are responsible for all activity occurring under your account and shall abide by all applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, treaties and regulations in connection with your use of the Service, including those related to data privacy, international communications and the transmission of technical or personal data. You shall: (i) notify Qlutch immediately of any unauthorized use of any password or account or any other known or suspected breach of security; (ii) report to Qlutch immediately and use reasonable efforts to stop immediately any copying or distribution of Content that is known or suspected by you or your users; and (iii) not impersonate another Qlutch user or provide false identity information to gain access to or use the Service.
Qlutch has no obligation to remove documents or content that Qlutch determines, in its sole discretion, to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Service; however, Qlutch reserves the right to do so.
6. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP
Qlutch reserves all rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement. The Service is protected by copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property laws. You acknowledge that Qlutch retains the ownership of all patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, technology and any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by you or any other party relating to the Service, and that you will take no actions which adversely affect Qlutch’s intellectual property rights in the Service, even after this Agreement is terminated. Any content delivered from the Service is licensed, not sold. This Agreement does not grant you any rights to use the content, trademarks or service marks of Qlutch. You shall not decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer the Service.
7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
This Service, its content and its associated analytical tools and methodology are a framework for the specialized intellectual content development and actions by the user, and are therefore dependent for its effectiveness on the knowledge, experience and hard work of the users and their colleagues and clients.

QLUTCH AND ITS LICENSORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTY AS TO THE RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, TRUTH, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT.

You acknowledge that the Service is sold on an “as is” basis. ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW BY QLUTCH AND ITS LICENSORS.
You agree to hereby indemnify and hold Qlutch and its employees, contractors, vendors and partners harmless from any losses, claims, injuries, or damages, including loss of revenue claims and reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of its use. Qlutch does not warrant that Service or any of its features are secure, free from bugs, viruses, interruption, errors, or other program limitations. You further agree to indemnify Qlutch for all costs and expenses that Qlutch incurs in the event that you breach any of the terms of this or any other agreement with Qlutch.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, IN NO EVENT SHALL QLUTCH BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES, EVEN IF QLUTCH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY CASE, QLUTCH ‘s ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICE. Because some states and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability, the above limitation may not apply to you. In such states and jurisdictions, Qlutch’s liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law and the limitations or exclusions of warranties and liability contained herein do not prejudice applicable statutory consumer rights of person acquiring goods otherwise than in the course of business. The disclaimer and limited liability above are fundamental to this License Agreement between Qlutch and you.
9. INTERNET DELAYS

Any such activity, and any terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such activity are solely between you and the applicable third-party. Qlutch and its licensors shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility for any such correspondence, purchase or promotion between you and any such third-party.
