Terms & Conditions
Welcome to AwardClap. The AwardClap website (the "Site") provides information about AwardClap and AwardClap’s employee experience platform (the “Service”). For AwardClap registered users, the Site, together with AwardClap’s mobile app (the “App”) and application programming interface (the “API”), also provides a platform and tools for using the Service and is considered a part of the Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions of Service.
AwardClap provides the Site and the Service, including the App, the API and any functionality and services offered on or through the Site and the Service, to you subject to these Terms and Conditions of Service (this “TOS”).
This TOS includes AwardClap’s Privacy Policy, which explains how AwardClap collects, uses and protects data from visitors to the Site and users of the Service. If you do not agree with any part of this TOS, you may not use the Site or the Service in any way. Your use of the Site indicates your acceptance of this TOS. Use of the App and certain portions of the Site are only available to AwardClap registered users. If you are a AwardClap registered user, your use of the Site and the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of these TOS. If your organization has entered into a commercial agreement with AwardClap, including any agreement or addendum related to the protection of personal data (a “Customer Agreement”), then (i) the terms of the Customer Agreement govern the relationship between your organization and AwardClap, and this TOS governs your individual use of the Site and the Service, and (ii) if there is any conflict between this TOS and the Customer Agreement, the Customer Agreement will take precedence over this TOS.
2. Site Access and Account Security.
AwardClap grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to (i) access and use the Site and, (ii) if you are a registered user, to access and use the Service through your browser, the App or an Integration (defined below) during the subscription term set forth in an applicable Order (defined below), in accordance with this TOS and any Customer Agreement between you and AwardClap only for your personal or internal business purposes
You will not, directly or indirectly: reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas, know-how or algorithms relevant to the Service or any software, documentation or data related to the Service (“Software”); modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Service or any Software (except to the extent expressly authorized within the Service); use the Service or any Software for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third; or remove any proprietary notices or labels.
From time to time, AwardClap may make available to its customers and their users certain API, which may include browser or other application plugins, sample code, and related documentation and other related materials. If you are a registered user that is an organization, then you may use the API for your internal business purposes to develop or enable web or other software services or applications (“Integrations”) that will communicate and interoperate with the Service. Notwithstanding anything in this TOS or other agreement between you and AwardClap to the contrary, the API is provided “as is,” and AwardClap makes no representation or warranty of any kind in connection with the API, including without limitation any representation or warranty that the API, Integrations, or any products or results of the use of the API or Integrations will meet your requirements, achieve any intended result, be compatible or work with any third party’s or your software, systems or other services.
If you are an organization that is a AwardClap customer, then you may designate authorized users of your organization’s account. Your authorized users will have the ability to access your organization’s account and to take any actions that users are authorized to take under this TOS and any applicable Customer Agreement.
If you are an organization, you hereby represent and warrant that: (a) you have taken all necessary corporate action to authorize your agreement to these TOS and have granted the person agreeing to these TOS on your behalf, sufficient authority to bind you to these TOS; and (b) you are solely responsible for your authorized users’ access to, security of and use of the Service or Site (inclusive of their own equipment, accounts, passwords and files), and you will ensure that they comply with these TOS. If you establish or are given a user account as an employee or contractor of an organization that is a AwardClap customer, you represent that you are authorized by your organization to do so, and you agree to use the Site and the Service solely as authorized by your organization
To access certain areas of the Site and the Service, you may be asked or required to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Site and the Service that all such details and information that you provide be correct, current, complete and you have the applicable legal authority to provide such information. You expressly agree that all information you provide to register with AwardClap is subject to the terms of AwardClap’s Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with AwardClap’s Privacy Policy.
If you choose or are provided with a username, password or any other information as part of the security features of the Site or the Service, you agree to treat such information as confidential, and you agree not to disclose it to any other person or entity. Your user account, if applicable, is personal to you, and you agree not to provide any other person with access to the Site or the Service through your user account. You agree to notify AwardClap immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized access or use of your user name, password or other security information.
AwardClap reserves the right to prevent access to the Site and the Service by any unauthorized user, or any user who AwardClap has reason to believe is in breach of this TOS.
3. Subscription and Payment Terms.
Your AwardClap subscription is activated when your instance with AwardClap becomes live, providing access to the Service. This subscription remains active until terminated by either party in accordance with these TOS. You agree to pay (and have your credit card be charged) for all fees associated with your acceptance of a Paid Subscription Order. “Paid Subscription Order” means any order placed by you (including, without limitation, accepting a quote or proposal via an online form or in writing) for purchase of an ongoing paid subscription to the Service. If you fail to pay any fees at the due dates or any recurring fees required under the applicable Paid Subscription Order, then you will not be permitted to use the Service. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except for amounts paid in error. Except as otherwise expressly specified in an applicable Paid Subscription Order, fees and other charges do not include federal, state or local sales, foreign withholding, use, property, excise, service, or similar taxes (including any sales or value added taxes) (“Taxes”) now or hereafter levied, all of which are your responsibility.
AwardClap is committed to the continuous enhancement of the Site and Service and may modify subscription plans, roll out new features, or phase out existing ones. We ensure that such changes do not materially diminish the value of the Service. Ensuring uninterrupted access, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle. Opt-out requires notification at least 30 days before the current term's conclusion. You may cancel your subscription at any time, with the cancellation taking effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Should you elect to cancel before the term's conclusion, you are responsible for all charges incurred until the end of the cycle. These charges are non-refundable, emphasizing the commitment to the subscription period.
