These Terms are entered into on the earlier of you: (a) clicking "I Agree", "Create Account", “Register” or similar acceptance to these Terms to gain access to, or use of, the Services; (b) you are given access to or use of the Services (including following notice that these Terms apply to such use), or (c) you place an Order ("Effective Date").
Terms
Services.
These Terms govern our Services and related Support Services (if applicable). These Terms include any linked terms or policies, the Service-Specific Terms, and your Orders. These Terms do not govern any Timby consulting, training, implementation or other professional services which are subject to additional agreements with Timby.
Service-Specific Terms.
Some Services may be subject to additional terms specific to that Service as set forth in the Service-Specific Terms. By accessing or using a Service covered by the Service-Specific Terms, you also agree to the Service-Specific Terms.
Provision Of Services
Access to Services
Subject to these Terms, during the Subscription Term, Timby grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services available to you for your internal business use in accordance with these Terms, the applicable Order and the Documentation. You agree that the license and use of the Services is not contingent on any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written statements made by Timby or any of its Affiliates regarding future functionality or features.
Evolving Timby Technology.
Timby may issue Updates for the Services and/or Documentation during the Subscription Term.
Protection of Customer Data.
Timby will maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Customer Data. Where your use of the Services includes the processing of “personal data” subject to applicable data protection laws, such use will be governed by the data processing addendum located at Timby.org/legal/dpa (“DPA”) that is incorporated into these Terms by reference. You will only provide to Timby the minimum amount of personal data necessary to enable your use of the Services in accordance with these Terms.
Free Services.
Timby may offer certain services to you at no charge, including free accounts, free functionality, non-production services, evaluations, trial use and pre-release, pilot, design partnership, limited release, educational license, developer preview and/or beta services (or similar designation by Timby) (“Free Services”). Your use of Free Services may be subject to additional terms that Timby specifies and is only permitted during the Subscription Term Timby designates (or, if not designated, until terminated in accordance with these Terms). Free Services are not “Services” under these Terms. Except as otherwise set forth in this section, the terms governing the use rights and restrictions of Services herein fully apply to Free Services, as well as any Service-Specific Terms for those Free Services. Timby may modify or terminate your right to use Free Services at any time and for any reason in Timby's sole discretion, without liability to you. You understand that any pre-release, pilot, limited release, developer preview and beta services, and any pre-release and beta features within generally available Services that Timby makes available are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and may contain more errors and bugs than generally available Services. If you opt into a beta service, then you agree to participate in usage and testing of, and provide Feedback about such beta service, as reasonably requested by Timby. Timby makes no promises that any beta service will ever be made generally available. Timby may charge a fee in order to allow you to access beta services, but the beta services will remain subject to this section. All information regarding the characteristics, features or performance of any beta service is Timby Confidential Information. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Timby disclaims all obligations or liabilities with respect to Free Services, including any Support Services, warranty and indemnity obligations.
Free Services are provided “as is,” without express or implied warranty, and without indemnity. Timby and its Affiliates will have no liability for, and you fully and irrevocably release Timby and its Affiliates from, any liability or damage arising out of or in connection with any Free Service. Notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, Timby's maximum aggregate liability to you with respect to Free Services will be US$100.

Third-Party Applications are not Services under these Terms, may be subject to the third-party provider’s additional terms, and may require additional fees to such providers. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Third-Party Applications. Such features are not Services under these Terms. Timby may cease providing such features for any reason, including if the Third-Party Application provider ceases to make the Third-Party Application available for interoperation with the Services, without entitling you to any refund, credit, or compensation. Notwithstanding any obligations Timby may have under an applicable DPA, Timby is not responsible for the use, access or protection of Customer Data in any Third-Party Applications. You are solely responsible for your decision to permit any third-party provider or third-party product or service to use Customer Data.
TIMBY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES (WHETHER SUPPORT, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY OR OTHERWISE) OR FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OR VENDORS.
FEES AND PAYMENT
Subscriptions.
Except for Free Services, all Services are offered on a subscription basis.
Subscription Term.
Unless earlier terminated per these Terms, the initial Subscription Term and applicable renewal(s) will begin and end on the start date and end date in each Order. If no start date is included in an Order, the start date is the day the Order is placed. If no end date is included in an Order, then the end date will be one year from the start date. Unless otherwise specified in an Order, your subscription will automatically renew for another Subscription Term of a period equal to your initial Subscription Term or if none included for one year, unless either party gives the other party notice (email is sufficient) of non-renewal at least ten (10) days before the end of the relevant Subscription Term. Notice of non-renewal to Timby must be sent to legal@Timby.org. Except as expressly set out in an Order, one-time or other promotional pricing will renew at Timby’s then-current rates. Any new Service subsequently added to an existing subscription will be coterminous with the current Subscription Term.
Fees.
You will pay Timby all fees described in each applicable Order, and all applicable Taxes (“Fees”). Except for Timby’s material breach of its limited warranties below, all payment obligations are non-cancelable and Fees paid are non-refundable. Fees may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g., exchange rates). Timby may change Fees at any time (excluding Fees for a then current Subscription Term under an Order), including changing from a Free Service to a paid Service provided that Timby will first provide you with notice and an opportunity to terminate your Free Service subscription per these Terms. Timby will not charge you for a previously Free Service unless you have been previously notified of such Fees.
Payment Terms.
All Fees will be billed in advance of the Subscription Term. You will pay all Fees, Taxes, and Overages within the time frame and in the currency in each applicable Order, without deduction or setoff. You are responsible for providing Timby with complete and accurate billing and contact information and updating Timby of any changes. If you fail to pay any undisputed portion of an invoice, then: (a) interest on unpaid amounts will accrue from the due date at the higher of 1.5% per month and the highest rate allowed by applicable law; and (b) within ten (10) business days from notice of late payment, Timby may, without limiting its rights and remedies, suspend the Services until Fees are paid in full. Timby is not obligated to provide Services without payment of applicable Fees.
Payment Cards.
If you pay by credit or debit card, you: (a) will provide Timby or its third-party payment processor with valid payment card information; and (b) authorize Timby or its third-party payment processor to charge such payment card for all Fees in the applicable Order and invoice(s) in accordance with these Terms. You hereby authorize Timby and its payment processor to store and continue billing the payment method you have on file with us, to avoid interruptions in Services purchased and to pay other Services you may buy. If you purchase a subscription, you authorize Timby and its payment processor to automatically charge your payment method on file at the start of each Subscription Term for the applicable Fees and Taxes. Your authorization will remain in full force and effect until Timby receives written notice of your revocation of such authorization or upon termination of the subscription provided that all of your payment obligations are satisfied.
Purchase Orders.
The terms of any purchase order, other form or agreement you provide will not modify or supplement these Terms and will have no force or effect, regardless of Timby’s failure to object to such terms.
Taxes.
Fees and Overages (defined below) do not include any taxes, tariffs, levies, duties, or similar governmental charges or assessments of any nature, including, value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”) excluding taxes on Timby’s income, property, and employees. You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your purchases under these Terms. If Timby is legally required to pay or collect Taxes that you are responsible for paying under these Terms, Timby will invoice you and you will pay such amounts, unless you provide Timby with a valid tax exemption certificate. Unless prohibited by the applicable taxing jurisdiction, the tax situs will be your ship-to address as set forth in the applicable Order or contained in Timby records. You will pay all Fees net of any applicable withholding taxes. The parties will cooperate to avoid withholding tax if exemptions, or a reduced treaty withholding rate are available. If Timby qualifies for a tax exemption or reduced withholding rate, Timby will provide you with reasonable documentary proof and you will provide reasonable evidence that you paid the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted.
Use Verification & Subscription Review.
You acknowledge that Timby or its Affiliates may review your use of the Services for the purpose of verifying your compliance with these Terms. You will reasonably cooperate with and assist Timby or its Affiliates, as applicable, in such review and verification. In addition, but no more than once annually, Timby may initiate a subscription review by requesting copies of records evidencing your use of the Services and other reasonable substantiation. You will provide such records within fifteen (15) business days, or such other mutually agreeable time frame, of Timby’s written request.

CONFIDENTIALITY
Definition of Confidential Information.
“Confidential Information” means all information or data disclosed by a party or any of its Affiliates (as applicable, the “Disclosing Party”) that is confidential, proprietary, or otherwise not publicly available, or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure whether oral or in writing, and disclosed during the Term in connection with the Services. Confidential Information includes, (a) with respect to you, Customer Data; (b) with respect to Timby, the Services, pricing, and the Free Services, including any discussions or information related to Free Services; and (c) with respect to a party, any technical, financial, economic, marketing, strategic, business, product, design, operational, including the terms of these Terms and all Orders, of such party. Confidential Information does not include any information that (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of these Terms or any other agreement by the party receiving information or any of its Affiliates (as applicable, the “Receiving Party”); (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (c) is received from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to any Confidential Information.
Protection of Confidential Information.
The Receiving Party will (a) use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care); (b) not use any Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of these Terms; and (c) except as otherwise expressly consented to by an authorized representative of the Disclosing Party, limit access to Confidential Information to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with these Terms and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less restrictive than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of these Terms or any Order to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel, and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, on condition that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel, or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s, and accountants’ compliance with this “Confidentiality” Section.
Compelled Disclosure.
The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent compelled by law or legal process to do so, on condition that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the compelled disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information as part of a proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.

Limitation of Liability and Remedies.
As your sole remedy, if Timby has materially breached or terminated this Agreement, you may Terminate this Agreement and all Orders and receive a refund of the prorated portion of prepaid Fees for unused Services based on the date of termination.

Timby will use good-faith, reasonable efforts, unless the circumstances dictate otherwise, to reasonably notify you or an Authorized User before taking the foregoing actions.
Termination.
Termination for Cause:
You may terminate these Terms and/or any Order upon notice if Timby is in material breach of these Terms, where such material breach is not cured (to the extent capable of being cured) within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from you, or with immediate effect where such material breach cannot be cured. This Agreement may be terminated by you with immediate effect if Timby becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, and such petition or proceeding is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days.
Termination without Cause:
You may terminate Free Services immediately without cause. Timby may terminate this Agreement without cause, for any reason, at any time on notice to you.
4. Effect of Termination.
Upon the termination of these Terms for any reason (a) unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, all outstanding Orders and access to the Services, Free Services and/or Beta Services will automatically terminate; (b) you and your Authorized Users will immediately cease access and use of the Services, other than for retrieval purposes provided in (d); (c) all outstanding payment obligations by you will become due and payable immediately; (d) for thirty (30) days following the termination of these Terms Timby will make Customer Data available to you, at your request, via read-only access to the Service, solely for purpose of allowing you to retrieve Customer Data and (e) your sole remedy will be as described above in this Agreement. After thirty (30) days, Timby will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data, and thereafter may delete or destroy all copies of Customer Data. If Timby is required to retain a copy of Customer Data for legal purposes, such copy remains subject to the confidentiality provisions of these Terms.
Refund or Payment upon Termination.
If you terminate these Terms due to Timby’s material breach, Timby will refund you the prorated portion of prepaid Fees for unused Services; however, if a discount was given for an annual plan, the prorated portion of prepaid fees will be based on the monthly price of the same Services at the time the Order was made. If Timby terminates these Terms due to your material breach, you will pay any unpaid Fees. Termination will not relieve you of your obligation to pay any Fees for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
Surviving Provisions.
The Sections titled “Fees and Payment,” “Proprietary Rights and Licenses,” “Confidentiality,” “Representation, Warranties, Exclusive Remedies, Disclaimers,” “Term and Termination,” “Indemnification,” “Limitation of Liability,” and “General Provisions” will survive any termination of these Terms.

Export Control.
Each party will comply with all applicable laws and regulations controlling or regulating the export, re-export, or (in-country) transfer of goods, technology, software, or services, or those that impose other trade or financial sanctions against targeted countries, territories, individuals, or entities (“Export Laws”) in connection with providing and using the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) each party represents that it is not listed on any list of entities or individuals who are restricted from receiving U.S. services or items subject to jurisdiction of U.S. Export Controls (including but not limited to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List and the Entity List) nor is it owned or controlled by any such listed entity; (b) you will not, and will ensure that Authorized Users do not, violate any Export Laws, or cause any such violation to occur; and (c) you will not use or cause any person to use the Services to store, retrieve, or transmit technical data controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations unless authorized to do so in an Order or written addendum.
Anti-Corruption.
Neither party has promised, made, or received any bribe, kickback, or other similar payment or transfer of value from or to any director, officer, employee, agent, or other representative of the other party in connection with these Terms. Reasonable gifts, entertainment, sponsorships, and donations do not violate the above restriction.
U.S. Government Rights.
If you, or any Authorized User, is a branch, agency, or instrumentality of the United States Government, the following provision applies: The Services and Documentation comprise “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and are provided to the Government (a) for acquisition by or on behalf of civilian agencies, consistent with the policy in 48 C.F.R. 12.212; or (b) for acquisition by or on behalf of units of the Department of Defense, consistent with the policies in 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 and 22.7202-3.

Dispute Resolution.
The parties will attempt in good faith to promptly resolve any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms by negotiation between representatives of each party with the authority to resolve such dispute. If the parties are unsuccessful, such dispute will be submitted to final and binding arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party is required to arbitrate claims (a) where all named parties seek monetary relief which, in the aggregate, qualifies as a claim that meets the requirements of an applicable small claims court; or (b) seeking injunctive relief. However, if a small claim is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court, either party may require that the claim be submitted to final binding arbitration. Any arbitration will take place on an individual basis. The parties waive the right to participate in a class, consolidated, or representative action or arbitration (“class action waiver”). If this class action waiver is deemed unenforceable, the class, consolidated, or representative action will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. To increase the efficiency of resolution, if 25 or more similar arbitration demands, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm(s) or organization(s) are submitted to an arbitration provider against Timby within reasonably close proximity ("Mass Filing"), the parties agree (i) to administer the Mass Filing in batches of no more than 25 demands per batch (if there are less than 25 arbitration demands left over after the above batching, a final batch of the remaining demands) with only one batch filed and adjudicated at a time; (ii) to designate one arbitrator per batch; (iii)to provide for resolution of each batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees per batch; (iv) that no other arbitration demands that are part of the Mass Filing may be filed or adjudicated until the prior batch is adjudicated; (v) that arbitrations fees for a demand in a Mass Filing, including fees owed by Timby and claimants, will only be due after your arbitration demand is included in a batch that is properly filed and adjudicated; and (vi) that this staged batch process will continue until each demand (including yours) is adjudicated or otherwise resolved. Arbitrator selection for each batch will be conducted to the extent possible under the arbitration provider’s rules, and the arbitrator will determine the location of the proceedings. You agree to cooperate in good faith with Timby and the arbitration provider to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees. An arbitrator appointed by the arbitration provider will resolve any disagreement between the parties as to whether this provision applies or to the batch process. Unless Timby consents in writing, Timby does not agree or consent to class arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be determined by arbitration administered by ICDR Canada in accordance with its Canadian Arbitration Rules. Except as required by law, neither party nor its representatives may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the other party’s prior written consent.
The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, is bound by the damage limitation provisions in this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover such damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator will be in accordance with these Terms and will be binding upon the parties. Each party hereby waives any right it may otherwise have under the laws of any jurisdiction to any form of appeal. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction having jurisdiction over both parties. This Agreement governs if there is a conflict with the International Arbitration Rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution.
