These Terms govern your access to and use of www.bugsee.com (the “Site”) and the Services (as defined below), and describe the services we will provide to you, how we will work together and other aspects of our business relationship.

Our services allow you to collect information about the operation your mobile applications by your customers or other users of your app (“Users”). Our services include the Bugsee Software Development Kit, APIs, and other embedded code (the “Embedded Code”) and related explanatory materials (collectively, the “Bugsee SDK”), Bugsee databases and the other products and services provided on or through our Site or otherwise offered by Bugsee (collectively the “Services”).

By using the Site, signing up for the Services, or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, found at http://www.bugsee.com/privacy/ (the “Privacy Policy”). If you do not want to agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Site or the Services.

  1. Access

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may access and use the Services solely for your internal business purposes. Bugsee may change, suspend or discontinue the Services at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or content. Bugsee may also impose limits on certain features and Services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. Customer shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect to, access the Services. Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that such equipment or ancillary services are compatible with the Service.

  1. Registration & Security

As a condition to using certain of the Services, you are required to register with Bugsee. You agree to provide Bugsee with accurate, complete and updated registration information. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, which may result in immediate termination of Customer's account. Bugsee reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel, a Bugsee Customer account at its discretion.

You agree that all information you provide to register with the Services or otherwise, including but not limited to information you provide through the use of any interactive features on the Site, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

Customer shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Customer's Bugsee password and other account information. If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person with access to this Site or portions of it using your user name, password or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

  1. Payment Term & Fees

You agree to Fees (as defined below) to Bugsee as follows:

If you signed up for a paid plan (a “Paid Plan”), you agree to pay Bugsee the applicable Subscription Fee for the Services as set forth in the Pricing Guide, found at www.bugsee.com/pricing/ (“Fees”).

You authorize us (or a billing agent acting on our behalf) to charge you the applicable Fees using your selected payment method. We'll automatically bill you in advance from the date you sign up for, or convert to, a Paid Plan, and on each subscription renewal, until cancellation.

The Fees are the net amount that we must receive exclusive of any taxes and, in addition to the Fees, you shall be responsible for promptly paying (to us or the appropriate taxing authority) all taxes, duties and tariffs, including without limitation, sales, excise, value added, use, withholding, import/export and similar charges related to this Agreement.

Once you have purchased a Paid Plan, we will automatically charge the current applicable Fees for the next subscription period to your selected payment method at the end of each subscription period, unless you notify us in writing that you want to terminate your subscription and cease using the Services as set forth in Section 12 (Termination). In the event any payment is declined, Customer will have seven (7) business days to make such payment, after which Customer may be restricted from accessing or using the Services, at any time, with or without notice, at Bugsee's sole discretion.

Unpaid Fees are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection.

Bugsee may provide you with limited access to the Services on a trial basis at no charge (“LITE Plan”). We reserve the right to modify, cancel and/or limit the LITE Plan without notice at any time. Please note that under the LITE Plan, data retention is limited to three (3) days. Upon termination of your LITE Plan, you may lose access to all data stored on the Service, and any interfaces to third party services that we provide.

Overages. We reserve the right to charge any applicable overage Fees if you exceed the maximum number of test devices or live devices allowed by your plan in any given month. For the next month, you may be automatically charged for such higher usage, or we may require that you upgrade to a new plan (which may require you to enter into a signed agreement with Bugsee). If you are on a monthly billing cycle, you will be charged for your increased usage starting with the next month. If you are not billed monthly, upon the next applicable month after the upgrade, you will be charged for the increased price of the usage.

Upgrades. If you upgrade your Paid Plan, you will immediately be charged the then-current rate for the new Paid Plan (and any auto-renewals thereof), as provided on our Site.

Downgrades. If you desire to downgrade your plan level, you must provide Bugsee with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of your current subscription period. The plan downgrade will take effect the first billing cycle of your next subscription period. Please note that you will not receive any refunds for payments made on your current billing cycle (or for your current subscription period). Downgrading your plan may cause the loss of account content, features, or capacity. Bugsee disclaims liability for any such loss.

Additional Fees. We may revise Fees at any time, or impose additional fees or charges. If you are on a Paid Plan, we will do this by providing you with at least thirty (30) days' notice prior to the next charge. Provided that if you upgrade or downgrade your plan, you will be charged Fees at the then-current rates. Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, any discounts applied to a previous subscription period do not apply to a renewed subscription period, including to any automatic renewals.

  1. Limited Licenses
  1. SDK. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period you have a valid subscription with Bugsee, Bugsee grants you (and you agree to comply with) a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to use the Bugsee SDK and the proprietary documentation generally made available by Bugsee to you on the Site for use with the Bugsee SDK (“Documentation”), only internally and solely for the purpose of developing websites, applications and services (“Customer Applications”) that interact with the Services.

Bugsee may also store Collected Data in connection with the Service.

As between Customer and Bugsee, Customer shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the Collected Data.

It may be possible for third parties to intercept or access Collected Data. We cannot guarantee the security of such information and are not responsible for unauthorized access to your account or Collected Data.

You agree to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection regulations. You agree to provide appropriate notices to your Users about, and if required by applicable laws, obtain appropriate consent from Users for, your information collection and use practices relating to your use of our Services, and your use of any service providers or other third parties that you instruct to send us data or to whom You instruct us to send your Collected Data. You will not collect or provide us with any Collected Data (or have a third party do the same), nor request us to collect from, or forward any Collected Data to, any third party, or request (through the Services or directly) such third party to perform any processing or transmission, in violation of any law, regulation, or third party right, including without limitation intellectual property, privacy or contractual right.

  1. Independent Contractor. Bugsee operates an independent business apart from Customer. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, employer-employee relationship, franchisee-franchisor, or a joint venture between the parties. Each party is solely responsible for the control and management of its business operations, for obtaining and maintaining all applicable business licenses and insurance, and for the timely payment of all income, payroll, and employment-related taxes, including without limitation all unemployment, worker's compensation, income tax withholding, and any other taxes of any nature whatsoever related to its business, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.

  3. Force Majeure. If either party's performance of any of its obligations hereunder is delayed by labor dispute, war, governmental action, flood, fire, explosion or other act of nature or any other matter not within such party's reasonable control, then the date for performance shall be extended by the time of such delay; provided, however, that the party subjected thereto shall pursue with reasonable diligence the avoidance or removal of such delay if reasonably feasible.
  4. Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, each Party shall be responsible for and will bear all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
  5. Currency. All currencies specified herein are in US dollars.

  6. Interpretation. The headings and numbering shall not be considered or given effect in construing this Agreement.
  7. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and the affected provision shall be modified in a manner which comes closest to the intention of the parties at the time the original provision was agreed upon.
  8. Changes. Our employees are not authorized to vary the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified only (a) by obtaining our written consent in an agreement signed by an officer of Bugsee; or (b) as set forth below in the immediately following paragraph.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of your or others' unauthorized access to or use of the Services or content in violation of these terms you agree that we are entitled to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
  3. Dispute Resolution. The parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, shall be subject to arbitration in contra costa county, before Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services (“JAMS”), pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The arbitrator may grant injunctions and other relief in such disputes. The arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with California law, including the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the arbitrator shall apply substantive and procedural California law to any dispute or claim, without reference to any conflict-of-law provisions of any jurisdiction.

To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict with California law, California law shall take precedence. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties to the arbitration. The parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. The parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each party shall separately pay for its respective counsel fees and expenses; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall award attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law.

The parties hereby agree to waive their right to have any dispute between them resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this section will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of their dispute relating to this agreement and the agreements incorporated herein by reference. Should any part of the arbitration agreement contained in this paragraph conflict with any other arbitration agreement between the parties, the parties agree that this arbitration agreement shall govern.

All claims and disputes within the scope of this Agreement must be arbitrated or litigated on an individual basis and not on a class basis, and claims of more than one Customer cannot be arbitrated or litigated jointly or consolidated with those of any other Customer.
