Mapline User Agreement

Effective Date: November 1, 2020

This Mapline User Agreement (“Agreement”) is a binding contract between Customer and Mapline Inc.(“Mapline,” “we,” or “us”) governing use of the Mapline Platform (defined below). If you are an individual purchasing access to the Mapline Platform on your own behalf, the term “Customer" means you. If you are purchasing access to the Mapline Platform on behalf of another individual, company, organization, or other entity, then “Customer" refers to such individual, company, organization, or other entity. If a valid and signed agreement exists between Customer and Mapline related to the subject matter hereof, those terms take precedence over these terms unless otherwise agreed by the parties in relation to a specific order.

BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, EITHER BY CLICKING A BOX INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE, EXECUTING AN ORDER FORM OR OTHER DOCUMENT THAT REFERENCES THIS AGREEMENT, BY USING (OR MAKING ANY PAYMENT FOR) THE MAPLINE PLATFORM, OR BY OTHERWISE AFFIRMATIVELY INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU: (1) AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF CUSTOMER; AND (2) REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND CUSTOMER TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT USE THE MAPLINE PLATFORM. Mapline may change this Agreement at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to provide you with prior notice of any material changes to this Agreement. Your continued use of the Mapline Platform after any change to this Agreement means that you accept all such changes. You should consult this Agreement each time you access the Mapline Platform to view any changes. This Agreement was last modified on the date indicated above.

Use of the Mapline Platform.
1. Mapline Platform. The "Mapline Platform" collectively refers to Mapline’s website found at https://mapline.com (“Website”), Mapline’s proprietary web-based software platform (“SaaS Solution”), any application programming interface information made available by Mapline (“APIs”), any browser extensions, downloadable software plug-in, or other software extension made available by Mapline (collectively, “Plug-Ins”), any mobile applications made available by Mapline (“Apps”), and any content, data, user interfaces, designs, or information made available via the SaaS Solution, APIs, Plug-Ins, or Apps, and any information generated by the SaaS Solution, APIs, Plug-Ins, or Apps (whether derived from User Content, other Mapline Data, or otherwise) (collectively, “Mapline Data”). Any person for whom Customer has paid all applicable fees for access to or use of the Mapline Platform is an “Authorized User.” The Mapline Platform enables Authorized Users to (1) create tables, maps, charts, reports, dashboards, forms, surveys, and other visual representations (collectively, “Visualizations”) of their own User Content or of Mapline Data, and (2) gather information from internal personnel or third parties via forms or surveys (each, a “Form) and create Visualizations to facilitate analysis of such information.

Mapline may, at any time and without notice to Customer: (1) restrict, deactivate, and/or terminate Customer’s access to the Mapline Platform (or any portion thereof); or (2) terminate or modify the Mapline Platform (or any portion thereof). Mapline will not be liable to Customer or any third party for any termination of or modification to the Mapline Platform regardless of the reason for such termination or modification. If Customer is dissatisfied with any termination or modification of the Mapline Platform, Customer’s only remedy is to stop using the Mapline Platform.

5. User Content Representations and Warranties. Customer is solely responsible for Customer’s User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing User Content. By posting or publishing User Content, Customer affirms, represents, and warrants that:
  1. Customer is the creator and owner of the User Content, or has the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Mapline and users of the Mapline Platform to use and distribute Customer’s User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by Customer in this section, in the manner contemplated by the Mapline Platform, and this Agreement; and
  2. Customer’s User Content, and the use of Customer’s User Content as contemplated by this Agreement, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; or (iii) cause Mapline to violate any law or regulation.
6. User Content Disclaimer. We are under no obligation to edit or control User Content that Customer or other users post or publish, and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Content. Mapline may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. Customer understands that when using the Mapline Platform Customer will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources and acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. Customer agrees to waive, and does hereby waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy Customer has or may have against Mapline with respect to User Content. We expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with User Content. If notified by a user or content owner that User Content allegedly does not conform to this Agreement, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove the User Content, which we reserve the right to do at any time and without notice. For clarity, Mapline does not permit copyright-infringing activities on the Mapline Platform.
7. Usage Data. Mapline shall have the right to collect and analyze data and other information relating to the provision, use, and performance of various aspects of the Mapline Platform, and related systems and technologies in a de-identified and aggregated form (“Usage Data”) and Mapline will be free (during and after the Term) to use such Usage Data solely to maintain, improve, and enhance the Mapline Platform and for other development, diagnostic, and corrective purposes in connection with the Mapline Platform and other Mapline offerings. Please see Mapline’s Privacy Notice for additional details.
Payment Terms and Order Processing.
1. Fees. Access to the Mapline Platform, or certain features of the Mapline Platform, may require Customer to pay fees, including one-time fees or fees on a subscription basis, and may provide Customer the option to activate recurring automatic payments for recurring fees. If Customer activates or updates recurring payments through the Mapline Platform, Customer authorizes Mapline or its third-party service providers to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. Recurring subscriptions automatically renew unless they are cancelled via a method described in the Mapline Platform at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. All fees are nonrefundable.
2. Taxes, Fees, Late Payments. All fees are quoted exclusive of taxes and fees. Customer is responsible for all taxes and fees that apply to the Mapline Platform, excluding taxes on Mapline’s income. Customer is responsible for any reasonable costs Mapline incurs to collect any unpaid or past due amounts, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other associated costs. Delinquent payments will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted under applicable law, whichever is less, from the payment due date until paid in full. If Customer requests Customer’s credit card issuer to reverse a payment, Mapline is charged a fee that may be a significant multiple of the amount Mapline initially received. Accordingly, in such circumstances, Mapline may seek to recover those fees from Customer and may terminate Customer’s account (including deleting User Content) or suspend Customer’s ability to add additional User Content to Customer’s account in Mapline’s sole discretion. If Customer’s credit card expires or payment information is otherwise invalid, or Customer makes changes to Customer’s billing details too close in time to when fees are due (so Mapline cannot reasonably act on Customer’s changes prior to billing), Mapline will bill the current charges to the card it had on record, Customer’s continued use of the Mapline Platform constitutes Customer’s authorization for Mapline to do so, and Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts and any charges incurred by Customer or Mapline as a result of billing to an invalid card. All charges will be due and payable in the currency specified by Mapline when Customer enters the transaction.
3. Changes. Mapline may change the fees for the Mapline Platform at any time. If Mapline changes any fees, including by adding additional fees or charges, Mapline will provide advance notice of those changes. If Customer does not accept the changes, Mapline may discontinue providing the Mapline Platform to Customer. If Customer changes a subscription plan or recurring payment, Customer’s account will be downgraded or modified to reflect that change immediately which may result in the loss of access to Customer’s previous account and loss of any User Content Customer may have uploaded to its previous account. No pro rata refunds are provided if an account is downgraded in the middle of a billing period.
4. Free Trial. Mapline may offer a free trial period during which Customer can use the Mapline Platform for a limited period of time. Customer can manage or cancel the trial subscription through any methods described by Mapline.
5. Payment Processing. Payment processing services for Mapline are provided by a third-party payment processor, Stripe Inc. (“Stripe”). Stripe uses Customer’s credit card to make payments for the Mapline Platform. The processing of credit card charges or credits, as applicable, relating to Customer’s use of the Mapline Platform will be subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). Customer hereby agrees to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, which may be modified by Stripe from time to time as set forth therein. As a condition of Mapline enabling payment processing services through Stripe, Customer agrees to provide Mapline accurate and complete information about Customer, and Customer authorizes Mapline to share it and transaction information related to Customer’s use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
Term and Termination.
1. Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date on which Customer first accesses or uses the Mapline Platform in any way and will continue so long as Customer continues to access or use the Mapline Platform, unless earlier terminated by Mapline.
2. Termination and Other Remedies. Mapline may take whatever lawful actions it may deem appropriate in response to actual or suspected violations of this Agreement including termination of this Agreement, the suspension or termination of Customer’s access or account, or blocking Customer from access to the Mapline Platform.
3. Effect of Termination. The following Sections of this Agreement will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: 1.D, 2, 3, 4, 5.C, 6 - 29. Payments by Customer, which accrue or are due before termination or expiration of this Agreement, will continue to be payable by Customer, and amounts owed to Mapline at the time of such termination or expiration, will continue to be owed by Customer after such expiration or termination.
Ownership.
1. Proprietary Information. The Mapline Platform, including any content, modifications, enhancements, and updates, and all intellectual property rights therein (collectively, “Proprietary Information”), is owned by Mapline and its licensors, as applicable. The Proprietary Information is licensed, rather than sold, to Customer pursuant to this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement will in any way limit or prohibit Customer from filing a charge or complaint with, or otherwise communicating or cooperating with or participating in, any investigation or proceeding (“Protected Activity”) that may be conducted by any federal, state, or local government agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). In connection with such Protected Activity, Customer is permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, and without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, Mapline. In making any such disclosures or communications, Customer agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Mapline confidential information to any parties other than the Government Agencies.

The parties submit to the jurisdiction in those courts. In any proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.

Neither party will have the right to bind the other to any obligation, nor have the right to incur any liability on behalf of the other.
Waiver. No delay, omission, or failure to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence to the event giving rise to such right or remedy, or a waiver of or acquiescence to any other right, remedy, or event.
Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights granted to Customer herein may be assigned or transferred by Customer, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the express prior written permission of Mapline and any attempt to do so will be null and void.
