Terms of Service


1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

1.1 Read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before You ("You") accept these Terms by: (a) placing an order through snapsite.com and/or (b) use the snapsite.com website ("Website") in any other manner. If You do not agree to all of these terms, do not use this Website.

1.2 The Terms are entered into by and between SiteBuilder Direct Inc. DBA SnapSite ("SnapSite") and You. If you are using the Services on behalf of Your employer, You represent that You are authorized to accept these Terms on Your employer's behalf. SnapSite provides the SnapSite online store and other on-line resources accessible via SnapSite.com (the "Services") to You, subject to the Terms. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the Terms will govern Your use of any new features that augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new SnapSite resources. In addition to the Terms and unless otherwise noted, the SnapSite Standard License governs purchases You make through SnapSite.com, unless You have currently in effect a separate written purchase or license agreement with SnapSite for that product, in which case that separate agreement governs. If there is a conflict between: (a) these Terms, and (b) either the SnapSite Standard License or other applicable purchase or license agreement, the latter prevail.

2. YOUR OBLIGATIONS

In consideration of Your use of the Services, You agree to be solely responsible for: (a) providing true, accurate, current, and complete information about You as prompted by the Service's registration form (the "Registration Data"), and (b) maintaining and promptly updating the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You are solely responsible for the security of your password. SnapSite is not liable for any unauthorized use of the Website or Services. You acknowledge and agree that certain Services may provide password-restricted access to customer information such as names and certain terms of Your existing contracts to assist You in purchasing, maintaining and supporting Your SnapSite products. By using this Website and registering for such Services, You consent to SnapSite's display of such information via the Services and accept all risks of unauthorized access to such information. If You provide any information that is false, inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete, or SnapSite has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is false, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, SnapSite may suspend or terminate Your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof).

3. CONFIDENTIALITY OF SNAPSITE INFORMATION

In order to gain access to the Services, You agree to these confidentiality provisions:

3.1 You acknowledge that You may obtain direct access via the Website to certain SnapSite confidential information ("Information"). You must hold Information in strict confidence and may provide Information to employees in your organization only on a need-to-know basis. You may use the Information from the Website solely for the purpose of purchasing, maintaining and supporting Your SnapSite products and services. Title to Information remains with SnapSite and its suppliers. You agree, either as an individual or on behalf of Your employer, to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3. Furthermore, if You are acting on behalf of Your employer, Your employer agrees to indemnify You for violations of this Section 3.

3.2 You do not acquire any rights in Information, except the limited right to use Information as described above.

3.3 Any breach of the Terms will result in irreparable harm to SnapSite for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, SnapSite will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if SnapSite seeks such an injunction.

3.4 Your obligations regarding Information expire five (5) years after the date of disclosure. Upon termination of the Terms or SnapSite's written request, You must cease use of Information and return or destroy all Information.
