Unique will provide the Service, and you may access and use the Service, in accordance with this Agreement. If you order the Service through an online registration page or an order form (each an “Order Form”), the Order Form may contain additional terms and conditions and information regarding the Service you are ordering.
1.1 The Service is a cloud-based sales conversation intelligence platform.

1.3 Upon your subscription to the Service, Unique will grant you access to the Service or certain parts of it, which will allow Unique or you to add end-user accounts (“Permitted Users“) and to control or manage certain features of the Service. Permitted Users’ access to the Service is limited and personal. You are responsible for actions taken by Permitted Users or by anyone using your accounts and passwords.
1.4 Unique uses commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the highest Service availability. However, Unique cannot guarantee that the Service will operate in an uninterrupted or error-free manner.

Unique may make the Service or any part of it available to you on an evaluation basis until the earlier of (i) the end of the applicable evaluation period, (ii) your purchase of a subscription, or (iii) any termination of the evaluation by Unique in its sole discretion.
Any data you enter into the Services, and any customizations made to the Services by you or for you, during your evaluation period will be permanently lost unless you purchase a subscription to the same Services as those covered in the evaluation period, purchase applicable upgraded Services, or export such data, before the end of the evaluation period.

4.4 If you receive notice by Unique or a governmental authority that Content, data or a third-party service must be removed, modified and/or disabled to avoid violating any of the clauses set out in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, you will promptly do so. If you do not take required action in accordance with the above, or if in Unique’s judgment a continued violation is likely to reoccur, Unique may disable the applicable Content, Service and/or third-party service. If requested by Unique, you shall confirm such deletion and discontinuance of use in writing and Unique shall be authorized to provide a copy of such confirmation to any such third-party claimant or governmental authority, as applicable. In addition, if Unique is required by any third-party rights holder to remove Content or data, or receives information that Content or data provided to you may violate applicable law or third-party rights, Unique may discontinue your access to Content through the Services.

5.4 Unless the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, you will provide Unique with valid and updated credit card information or a document reasonably acceptable to Unique. If you provide credit card information to Unique, you authorize Unique to charge such credit card for all subscriptions listed in the Order Form for the initial Subscription Term and any renewal Subscription Term(s). Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, Unique will invoice you in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form.

5.5 If any charge owned by you under this Agreement for Services is 30 days or more overdue, (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts you have authorized Unique to charge to your credit card), Unique may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for you paying by credit card or direct debit whose payment has been declined, Unique will give you at least 10 days’ prior notice that your account is overdue, before suspending Services to you.
5.6 If this Agreement is terminated by Unique, you shall pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term of all Order Forms. In no event will termination relieve you of your obligation to pay any fees payable to Unique for the Subscription Term prior to the effective date of termination.
