2.  Grant of License – Tenant – Change of Subscription

2.1  Grant of License (regular)

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the payment of all required Subscription Fees) Supportsquare, grants to the Customer, during the Subscription Period, a personal, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable License to access and use the Software, for an unlimited number of Users on the Customer’s dedicated Tenant during the limited number of minutes dedicated to the ordered Subscription Formula. Customer shall be allowed to use the Service solely for its own business purposes and as configurated in the License Key received from Supportsquare and in the manner as intended and allowed by this Agreement.

Upon request of Customer and after full payment of all relevant Subscription Fees, Supportsquare shall set up the License Key, being a site License or enterprise License, as ordered by Customer. Such License Key shall be emailed to the Customer.

If the Customer does not explicitly end the Subscription before the Subscription Expiration Date (as described in the section Term and Termination), or change the initially ordered Subscription (as described in the section Change of Subscription), the Subscription is automatically renewed for a Subscription Period, equal to the initial Subscription Period. The License Key remains the same.

2.2  Grant of License (trial)

Supportsquare might provide You with the right to start using the Service during a trial period of maximum thirty (30) days. In such event the following will apply. The granted license is a Trial License. You, as a potential Customer and your Users will get full access to the Service and/or the App during this trial period, free of charge. You may only use the Trial License to demonstrate and internally evaluate the Service and/or App.
After or during the trial period, you can enter into a definitive agreement and purchase a Subscription.

After the purchase and payment of a Subscription, in accordance with one of the Subscription Formulas, the Trial License will be converted into a regular License, and the terms and conditions as outlined in section 2.1 will apply. Any existing data in the Customer’s Tenant is maintained and reusable.

2.3  Tenant

Customer shall be able to access and use of the Software through the Tenant.

The Customer shall be solely responsible for every use and activity of the Tenant.

Besides a Tenant, Customer receives also the License Key, which manages the use of the Service by the Customer in accordance with the purchased Subscription Formula.

Each Tenant belongs to one (1) Customer and may therefore not be shared with other persons, companies or legal entities.

Customer shall be solely responsible and liable for the protection and security of the Tenant and its use. In this context, the Customer, and every User must ensure the confidentiality of the login-data, such as the password. Each loss or misuse of such login-data may therefore lead to liability towards Supportsquare.

Furthermore, it is strictly forbidden to:

• Ask for the login-data of other users;
• Login onto one other’s Tenant;
• Use the Software in a fraudulent manner (e.g. the use of a false account and/or providing false information is considered as fraudulent use);
• Pretend to be another (legal or natural) person when using the Tenant and/or Software without the necessary permission. Such action may lead to civil and criminal sanctions.

Customer must immediately (i) penalize or sanction any improper and unauthorized use and (ii) immediately inform Supportsquare in writing of such use and of every controversial registration it notices.

In case of misuse, Supportsquare may issue a notification to the Customer, that may lead to temporary and/or perpetual suspension and/or removal of the Tenant and its Users. In any event,  Supportsquare shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from Customer’s failure to comply with the above requirements.

2.4  Change of Subscription

The initial Subscription formula is explicitly mentioned in the confirmation mail that Supportsquare send to the Customer after order receipt.

At all times the Customer can upgrade the initial Subscription Formula to a higher Subscription formula. Supplier and Customer shall consult each other to determine the initial Subscription End Date and the new Subscription Start Date.

Each Subscription contains a maximum number of minutes of usage. By purchasing a Subscription, Customer accepts this maximum, and agrees that extra minutes will be invoiced separately on a monthly base at a price/minute specific for the purchased Subscription Formula.

Beside a yearly indexation or price adaptation, Supportsquare reserves the right to adapt the pricing of the Subscription Formulas during the Term of this Agreement, in the event that external factors influence the prices. The Customer will be notified at least two (2) months in advance of any price adaptation.

An invoice can only be disputed by sending an email to accounting@supportsquare.io within eight (8) working days after the invoice date.

If the Customer terminates the Subscription, the amounts already paid to Supportsquare shall not be reimbursed, irrespective of whether the payment is related to a monthly or yearly Subscription.

Supportsquare shall do its best efforts to have the Service available at least 99,5% of the time over a year. This is a target availability and no firm commitment from Supportsquare. From the availability shall also be excluded scheduled maintenance, which shall normally be indicated with a 24 hours’ notice.

In any case Supportsquare undertakes its best effort to inform Customer thereof in due time, unless this is impossible or not useful, such as in cases of actual or suspected security breaches or other emergency cases.

The above-mentioned maintenance services give no grounds for compensation to be paid by Supportsquare to Customer.
