You affirm and warrant that (A) you are at least 18 years old; (B) you have the authority to enter into this Agreement; and (C) if you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an organization or entity, you have the authority to bind that organization and its affiliates to these terms, in which case "Customer," "you," and "your" will refer to that organization and its affiliates.

3. Service & License

3.1 Services. SignalsIQ offers "Services" to its customers. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Services" refers to the software services provided by SignalsIQ to the customer, as fully described in the applicable "Order" (as defined in Section 3.3). Upon receiving the applicable fees (as detailed in the Order) from the customer, SignalsIQ will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services to the customer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Order.

3.2 License to SignalsIQ Services. SignalsIQ grants the customer, for the Term (as defined in Section 8.1), a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, and non-assignable right to access and use the Services. This use of the Services by the customer is authorized solely for the customer's internal business purposes and is subject to any additional limitations and restrictions specified in the applicable Order.

3.3 On-premises Deployment. If, under an applicable Order, the customer accesses SignalsIQ services through an on-premises deployment via a Docker container or otherwise, the right to access such services is limited to the period specified in the Order. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order, the right to use the Services through such deployment is limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, and non-assignable. Upon the expiration of the applicable service period, the customer must destroy and permanently delete all SignalsIQ data from their premises and provide proof of such destruction to SignalsIQ. SignalsIQ reserves the right to inspect and audit the customer's servers for SignalsIQ usage data and evidence of any violation of the limited license for one (1) year after the service period ends. Any unauthorized consumption of additional licenses will be considered a material breach of this Agreement, remediable only by making a pro-rata payment to SignalsIQ. If a SignalsIQ partner or reseller provides on-premises deployment to its customer ("End Customer"), the partner must ensure it has similar rights in writing regarding the End Customer's servers.

3.4 Order. For the purposes of this Agreement, an "Order" refers to an order form or similar document (including online order forms) that outlines the Services being provided under this Agreement and the fees payable by the customer to SignalsIQ. The Order may also detail service level terms, if any. In the event of a conflict between the Order and the Terms of Service, the Order will take precedence.

3.5 Trials. If the customer accesses or uses the Service on a trial or evaluation basis, as indicated in the corresponding Order ("Trial"), the customer may use the Services during the Trial period, provided such use does not exceed the service levels outlined in the Order. The customer acknowledges and agrees that the Trial is provided "as-is," without indemnification, support, warranties, or representations of any kind. The Trial may also be subject to additional restrictions, limitations, and differing terms, all specified in the Order. Notwithstanding any other provision, the Service is provided "as-is" for the purposes of the Trial, with no representations, warranties, or indemnities.

3.6 No-fee Access. If the customer accesses or uses the Service on a no-fee basis ("Limited Use"), the customer may use the Services during this period, provided such use does not exceed the service levels specified on the SignalsIQ website for Limited Use. The customer acknowledges and agrees that the Limited Use is provided "as-is," without indemnification, support, warranties, or representations of any kind. Furthermore, the customer acknowledges that SignalsIQ may terminate the Limited Use at any time, for any reason, or modify the applicable terms by posting a notice on the SignalsIQ website.

3.7 Support Services. During the Term, SignalsIQ may provide customers with support services ("Support Services"). The customer acknowledges that these Support Services may be subject to additional fees as specified in the applicable Order. Details regarding the provision of Support Services by SignalsIQ will be outlined in the Order.

3.8 Service Suspensions. SignalsIQ may suspend the customer's access to or use of the Services under the following conditions: (a) immediately, if SignalsIQ reasonably believes the customer's use of the Services poses a security risk or may adversely affect the Services; (b) immediately, if the customer becomes insolvent, ceases operations, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding; (c) after providing thirty (30) days written notice if the customer breaches this Agreement or any Order and fails to cure such breach, if possible, within thirty (30) days of receiving notice; or (d) if the customer fails to pay SignalsIQ the fees related to the Services.

Any materials and information provided by the disclosing party that are identified at the time of disclosure as "Confidential" or labeled similarly, along with any other information that the receiving party should reasonably recognize as the disclosing party's Confidential Information, shall be considered Confidential Information. This Agreement itself is considered Confidential Information, and all pricing terms are the Confidential Information of SignalsIQ. The receiving party must keep the Confidential Information private and not disclose it to any third party without the disclosing party's prior written consent.
