e) For the avoidance of doubt, and except as expressly permitted in subsections 1(c) through 1(d) above, downloading and storing Materials in a searchable database is prohibited. The Online Services and the Materials are protected by copyright, intellectual property laws, and other laws that prevent unauthorized access and use.

The term “consumer” is defined in the United States Fair Credit Reporting Act at 15 USC §1681.
1.8 Other provisions that govern use of the Online Services and Materials are set forth in any applicable Subscription Plan, online descriptions of files, online notices following source selection, and individual documents retrieved from the Online Services (collectively, the “Additional Terms”), all of which are incorporated by reference into this Subscription Agreement.

2.1 Only your employees, temporary employees, students, partners/members/owners/shareholders, and contractors dedicated to performing work exclusively for you (to the extent those categories of persons are appropriate to your situation) are eligible to access and use the Online Services and Materials (“Eligible Persons”). Without limitation, external professional service providers such as attorneys, accountants, outsourcers, and public relations firms are specifically excluded from being Eligible Persons. The term “Authorized User” means an Eligible Person whom you have identified to VirgilHR for purposes of issuing a VirgilHR ID. You agree that each VirgilHR ID may only be used by the Authorized User to whom VirgilHR assigns it and that the VirgilHR ID may not be shared with or used by any other person, including other Authorized Users. You will manage your roster of Authorized Users and will promptly notify VirgilHR to deactivate an Authorized User’s VirgilHR ID if the Authorized User is no longer an Eligible Person or you otherwise wish to terminate the Authorized User’s access to the Online Services. You are responsible for all use of the Online Services and Materials accessed with VirgilHR IDs issued to your Authorized Users, including associated charges, whether by Authorized Users or others. You will use reasonable commercial efforts to prevent unauthorized use of VirgilHR IDs assigned to your Authorized Users and will promptly notify VirgilHR, in writing, if you suspect that a VirgilHR ID is lost, stolen, compromised, or misused. You represent and warrant you are neither identified on, nor shall you provide access to the Online Services or Materials to any individuals or entities identified on, (a) OFAC’s list of Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN List”); (b) the UK’s HM Treasury’s Consolidated List of Sanctions Targets; (c) the EU’s Consolidated List of Persons, Groups, and Entities Subject to EU Financial Sanctions; (d) any other applicable sanctions lists; or (e) any person 50 percent or more owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate by a person(s) identified in (a) through (d).

2.3 To comply with local privacy, data protection and other laws, each VirgilHR ID is country-specific and may not be used outside the country for which it is issued, except for short periods not to exceed 30 continuous days. If VirgilHR suspects use of an VirgilHR ID outside the country of issue for a period in excess of 30 continuous days, VirgilHR may suspend the VirgilHR ID or require you to use and pay for an VirgilHR ID for the relevant country. On request, VirgilHR will issue a geographically compliant VirgilHR ID, subject to additional costs, if applicable.
2.4 The Online Services, Materials, and feature functionality within the Online Services may be enhanced, added to, withdrawn, or otherwise changed by VirgilHR without notice.
2.5 Subject to Section 2.4 above, the Online Services may contain a feature that will allow your Authorized Users to create work folders or work-spaces (“Cases”) from within research sessions that are associated solely with their respective VirgilHR IDs. The Cases are designed to allow your Authorized Users to save copies of Online Services and Materials made available by VirgilHR for particular reasons, as well as links to materials made available on the Internet or other documents that you or your Authorized Users’ own or otherwise have the right to upload to Cases. VirgilHR represents and warrants that: (a) the Cases will be under the exclusive control of your Authorized Users; and (b) VirgilHR will not access or otherwise review the content of Cases without your authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, VirgilHR may access or disclose the content of Cases to the extent necessary to facilitate features and functions of the Services and to comply with contractual and legal obligations including, but not limited to, an administrative or judicial proceeding. Authorized Users are solely responsible for the content of their respective Cases. You represent and warrant that the Authorized Users have the right and authority to upload all content to the Cases that is not provided by VirgilHR. Authorized Users are prohibited from uploading content to the Cases that is defamatory, libelous, pornographic, or obscene, unless such content is reasonably related to professional responsibilities. In addition, Authorized Users are strictly prohibited from uploading content to the Cases that is unlawful or that is considered protected health information under the Health Accountability and Portability Protection Act of 1996 (HIPAA) or the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (HITECH). You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold VirgilHR harmless for all third-party claims, damages, costs, fines and expenses that VirgilHR may incur as a result of you or your Authorized Users’ use of the Cases or any content uploaded to the Cases, excluding VirgilHR Materials. Authorized Users are solely responsible for securing or saving the content of their respective Cases before the expiration or termination of this Subscription Agreement, if desired. VirgilHR has no obligation to provide the content of Cases to you or your Authorized Users after the termination of this Subscription Agreement. All VirgilHR Materials contained in Cases remain subject to the storage limitations and other license terms and restrictions set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

5. MODIFICATIONS & TERMINATION
5.1 These Terms and Conditions, including the Additional Terms may be changed from time to time as described below or by written agreement.

You may terminate this Subscription Agreement upon written notice to VirgilHR if any material change to these Terms and Conditions is unacceptable to you. For termination to be effective under this Section 5.1, written notice of termination must be provided to VirgilHR within 90 days of the effective date of the change. Continued use of the Online Services following the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of the change but does not affect the foregoing termination right. Except as provided above, this Subscription Agreement may not be supplemented, modified, or otherwise revised unless signed by duly authorized representatives of both parties. Furthermore, this Subscription Agreement may not be supplemented, modified, or otherwise revised by email exchange even if the email contains a printed name or signature line bearing signature-like font.
5.2 VirgilHR may terminate this Subscription Agreement at any time in accordance with this Section 5.2. You may terminate this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.2 only if there are no fixed-priced or fixed term amendments (e.g., Subscription Plans or Purchase Orders) in effect between you and VirgilHR. The effective date of termination shall be 10 days after the receipt of written notice of termination unless a later date is specified in the notice. VirgilHR may temporarily suspend or discontinue providing access to the Services to any or all Authorized Users in breach of this Subscription Agreement without notice and VirgilHR may pursue any other legal remedies available to it.
6. PAYMENT TERMS, SUBSCRIPTION PLANS, & AUTOMATIC RENEWALS
6.1 The prices, features, and options of the Online Services and Materials depend on the Subscription Plan selected as well as any changes instigated by you. VirgilHR does not represent or warrant that a particular Subscription Plan will be offered indefinitely and, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws, reserves the right to change the prices for or alter the features and options in a particular Subscription Plan without prior notice.
6.2 For Subscription Plans, VirgilHR uses a tiered pricing model based on the number of employees in your organization. You agree to provide accurate information regarding the number of employees in your organization when choosing a Subscription Plan, as well upon renewal of a Subscription Plan. To ensure compliance with this section, VirgilHR may periodically conduct an audit to determine the number of employees in your organization. Additionally, upon renewal of a Subscription Plan, VirgilHR will confirm the number of employees in your organization and assign you an appropriate Subscription plan based on the number of employees. Misrepresenting the number of employees in your organization when choosing or renewing a Subscription Plan constitutes a breach of these Terms and Conditions. VirgilHR may temporarily suspend or discontinue providing access to the Services to any users in breach of these Terms and Conditions without notice, and such users will be liable to VirgilHR for failing to provide payment based on an accurate representation of the number of employees in their organization. VirgilHR may pursue any additional legal remedies available to it under these circumstances.
6.3 When you purchase a Subscription Plan, you must provide accurate and complete information for a valid payment method that you are authorized to use. You will be billed for your Subscription Plan through the payment method you provide, such as a credit card. You must promptly notify VirgilHR of any change in your invoicing address and must update your account with any changes related to its payment method. BY COMPLETING REGISTRATION FOR A SUBSCRIPTION PLAN, YOU AUTHORIZE VIRGILHR OR ITS AGENT TO CHARGE ITS PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING (E.G. ANNUAL) BASIS (“AUTHORIZATION”) FOR: (a) THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION PLAN CHARGES; (b) ANY AND ALL APPLICABLE TAXES; AND (c) ANY OTHER CHARGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF ONLINE SERVICES AND MATERIALS. The Authorization continues through the applicable Subscription Term and any Renewal Term (each as defined in Section 6.6 below) until you cancel as set forth in Section 6.7.
6.4 If VirgilHR does not receive payment from your payment method, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. Any amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. You agree to promptly reimburse any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by VirgilHR to collect any amount that is not paid when due. VirgilHR may accept payment in any amount without prejudice to VirgilHR’s right to recover the balance of the amount due or to pursue any other right or remedy. Amounts due to VirgilHR may not be withheld or offset by you for any reason against amounts due or asserted to be due from VirgilHR.
6.5 VirgilHR will provide billing and usage information in a format we choose, which may change from time to time. VirgilHR reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it identifies even if it has already issued an invoice or received payment. You agree to notify us about any billing problems or discrepancies within thirty (30) days after they first appear on your invoice. If you do not bring such problems/discrepancies to our attention within thirty (30) days, you agree to waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies.
6.6 Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time. When a billing cycle covers less than or more than a full month, VirgilHR may make reasonable adjustments and/or prorations. You agree that VirgilHR may (at its option) accumulate charges incurred during a billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of a cycle, and that we may delay obtaining authorization or payment from your payment card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s).
6.7 VirgilHR’s Subscription Plans automatically renew unless otherwise noted, subject to Section 6.2, above. If you purchased a Subscription Plan, you agree to pay the then-current applicable fee associated with the Subscription Plan and further agree that it will automatically renew, unless, prior to the end of the current period of effectiveness of the Subscription Plan (“Subscription Term”) (a) you terminate your Subscription Plan in accordance with Section 6.7 (Annual); (b) VirgilHR declines to renew your Subscription Plan; or (c) the Subscription Plan is otherwise properly terminated as expressly permitted herein. The Subscription Plan will automatically renew on an annual basis (“Renewal Period”).
6.8 Annual Subscription Plans will automatically renew unless written notice is provided to VirgilHR at sales@virgilhr.com no later than 30 calendar days prior to the beginning of the Renewal Period.
6.9 All payments required as part of a Subscription Plan are stated exclusive of all taxes, duties, levies, imposts, fines, or similar governmental assessments, including sales and use taxes, value-added taxes (“VAT”), goods and services taxes (“GST”), excise, business, service, and similar transactional taxes imposed by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). You shall be responsible for and bear Taxes associated with its purchase of, payment for, access to or use of the Online Services and Materials. If VirgilHR is required to remit Taxes associated with your purchase of, payment for, access to, or use of the VirgilHR Services, VirgilHR will add the amount of those Taxes, itemized where required by law, to the payment due. Taxes may be applied without notice. Taxes shall not be deducted from the payments to VirgilHR, except as required by law, in which case you shall increase the amount payable as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings, VirgilHR receives and retains (free from any Tax liability) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. You hereby confirm that VirgilHR can rely on the name and address set forth in its registration for a Subscription Plan as being the place of supply for Tax purposes. If applicable, you will provide to VirgilHR its VAT, GST, or similar tax identification number(s) to avoid application of taxes, as applicable. You will use the ordered VirgilHR Services for your business use in the foregoing location(s) in accordance with the provided VAT or GST identification number(s). The parties’ obligations under this Section 6.4 shall survive the termination or expiration of any Subscription Plan.
6.10 You agree to timely pay VirgilHR all fees associated with its Subscription Plan or other use of the Online Services and Materials, including, but without limitation, by Authorized Users. YOUR PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS OR AS OTHERWISE AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES. Charges for pre-paid Subscription Plans will be billed to you in advance. Charges for standard Subscription Plan charges and per-use purchases will be billed in advance unless otherwise specified in the Subscription Plan.
7. FREE TRIAL AND SPECIAL OFFERS
7.1 If you register for a free trial, promotional offer, or other time of limited offer for use of the Services (“Free Trial”), you may be presented with additional terms and conditions when registering for a Free Trial, and any such additional terms and conditions are hereby incorporated into this Terms and Conditions by reference and are legally binding. This Section 7 supersedes and applies notwithstanding any conflicting provisions with regard to access and use of a Free Trial.
7.2 To the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws, VirgilHR reserves the right to reduce the term of a Free Trial or to end it altogether without prior notice.
7.3 The version of the Services that is available for a Free Trial may not include or allow access to all features or functions.

7.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions, including without limitation the warranties described in Section 3 (Limited Warranty) and Section 4 (Limitation of Liability) or any service-specific terms and conditions applicable to a particular Service, including exhibits and attachments accompanying such schedule (“Service Schedule”), during a Free Trial the VirgilHR Services are provided “AS IS” and “as available” without any warranty that may be set forth in these Terms, and VIRGILHR DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND VIRGILHR’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE FREE TRIAL IS $100. BECAUSE SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY AND FOR THE MINIMUM WARRANTY PERIOD ALLOWED BY THE MANDATORY APPLICABLE LAW.
8. PRIVACY & DATA SECURITY
8.1 The ability of VirgilHR to provide Online Services and Materials is regulated by a variety of privacy, data protection, and other laws in a variety of jurisdictions (“Data Laws”) and by the licenses under which it may obtain Materials (“Licenses”). You acknowledge that VirgilHR will perform a due diligence review of your account upon registration. You also acknowledge that VirgilHR may perform periodic reviews of you and your Authorized Users’ use of the Online Services and Materials subject to Data Laws or Licenses (“Regulated Data”) to comply with Data Laws and license restrictions, and that the review may include asking you or your Authorized Users to verify that use of Regulated Data was for a permissible purpose. You and your Authorized Users will cooperate with VirgilHR in any such due diligence or regulatory review and will promptly produce all relevant records and documentation and other assistance reasonably requested by VirgilHR to enable VirgilHR to fulfill its obligations under Data Laws and Licenses. All reviews will be at the expense of VirgilHR. If there is any failure to cooperate with VirgilHR, or if any review reveals the lack of a permissible purpose to access Regulated Data, VirgilHR may deny access to the Online Services or to Regulated Data. VirgilHR will be under no obligation to reduce the fees payable by you to the extent that it is unable to provide Regulated Data to you based solely on your non-cooperation.
8.2 If you, any of your Authorized Users, or any person you or your Authorized Users permits to use the Online Services or who gains access through an Authorized User’s failure to properly secure his or her VirgilHR ID or computer (a “User”) should access or use Regulated Data in an unauthorized manner (a “Security Event”), then the following provisions will apply: (a) if required by applicable law, you will notify the individuals whose information has potentially been accessed or used that a Security Event has occurred; (b) you will notify any other parties (including but not limited to regulatory entities and credit reporting agencies) as may be required by law; (c) the notification will not reference VirgilHR or the product through which the Regulated Data was provided, nor will VirgilHR be otherwise identified or referenced in connection with the Security Event, without the express written consent of VirgilHR; (d) you will be solely liable for all claims that may arise from a Security Event caused by you, your Authorized Users or a User and you will indemnify VirgilHR for any third-party claims directed against VirgilHR that arise from the Security Event; and (e) all notifications and indemnity claims related to the Security Event will be solely at your expense.
8.3 “Data protection laws” means all applicable privacy and data protection laws, regulations, orders, and other legal requirements. The terms “personal data” and “processing” will have the meanings ascribed to them in the data protection laws, and where the data protection laws use equivalent or corresponding terms, such as ‘personal information’ instead of ‘personal data”, they will be read as the same.
8.4 You are responsible for ensuring the legality of the personal data that you or Authorized Users provide to VirgilHR for processing. If and to the extent that you or Authorized Users provide personal data to VirgilHR for account registration or otherwise, the parties acknowledge that such information will be processed by VirgilHR in accordance with the data protection laws and the VirgilHR privacy policy at https://virgilhr.com/privacy-policy/.
