Terms of use

Effective date: Dec 22, 2022

These Customer Terms of Service (the “Customer Terms”) describe your rights and responsibilities when using boardx.us Services (the "Services"),  the online digital whiteboard service. Some sections of these terms only apply to specific Services, as indicated by the headings of the respective paragraph.

These Customer Terms form a part of a binding "Contract" between Customer and us. "Customer" is the organization that you represent in agreeing to the Contract. If your Instance is being set up by someone who is not formally affiliated with an organization, Customer is the individual creating the Instance. When you create an Instance, invite users, or use or allow use of that Instance after being notified of a change to these Customer Terms, you acknowledge your understanding of the then-current Contract and agree to the Contract on behalf of Customer. Please make sure you have the necessary authority to enter into the Contract on behalf of Customer before proceeding.

Customer Data

When a User (including you) submits content or information to the Services, such as sticky notes, messages or files (“User Data”), the Customer retains ownership of any intellectual property rights in that content.

With regards to Services operated directly by boardx.us:

When a User uploads or otherwise submits content to our Services, he gives boardx.us a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (e.g. as translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that the content in question works better with the Services), communicate, publish, perform, display and distribute such content. The rights a User grants in this license are for the limited purpose of operating and improving the Services, and to develop new ones. (For a more thorough description of the limited purposes we use a User’s personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.) This license does not expire even if you stop using the Services (for example, so that boardx.us can deliver a message that you sent to another User before you stopped using our Services). If User employs the Services to share content with others, anyone he has shared content with (including the general public, in certain circumstances) may have access to the content, depending on the channels and the way the content was shared.

boardx.us may provision or deprovision access to the Services, enable or disable third party integrations, manage permissions, retention and export settings, transfer or assign workspaces, share channels, or consolidate this workspace or channels with other workspaces or channels, and these choices and instructions may result in the access, use, disclosure, modification or deletion of certain or all User Data.

You may access, import, and export all your User Customer Data, including private channels and boards data through your Account preferences panel. You may also request that your account is deleted, together with all the boards data.

To the extent prohibited by applicable law, the Services are not intended for and should not be used by anyone under the age of sixteen. You represent that you are over the legal age. You may not access or use the Services for any purpose if the preceding sentence is not true. Without limiting the foregoing, you must be of legal working age.

API Fair Use


Many of our services work via API calls managed under a central infrastructure of us. You may not place excessive API calls or otherwise deliberately try to overburden this API system. We may throttle your use of the APIs in case we deem it necessary to facilitate an overall acceptable service level across our infrastructure (e.g. such as in the case of continued, excessive API usage). We may monitor use of the APIs for compliance with these rules, and we may deny you access to the API or shut down your Integration if you try to go around or break the policies we set. If your Service Order includes a defined API limit or minimum, then the Service Order controls.

TERM; TERMINATION.

Term

These Customer Terms will begin on the Effective Date and will continue until terminated by either party as outlined in this Section (the "Term").

Suspension or Termination Rights

You may terminate these Customer Terms at any time upon 30 days' written notice to boardx.us. Either party may terminate these Customer Terms immediately upon 30 days’ written notice to the other party in the event of any material breach of this Agreement (including without limitation, any failure to pay any amounts when due hereunder) by such party where such material breach is not cured during such notice period. Either party may terminate these Customer Terms, without notice, (i) upon the institution by or against the other party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings (provided such proceedings are not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days of such institution), (ii) upon the other party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) upon the other party's dissolution or ceasing to do business without a successor.

Refund Policy

If you cancel your subscription from My Account, all future charges associated with it will be cancelled. The cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period and BoardX does not offer refunds for any unused subscription fees. All subscriptions are recurring and will be renewed automatically once the current paid period has ended. This means that you will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle, but you will still have access to the benefits of your subscription until the billing period has ended.

Effect of Termination

Unless You are entitled for a refund as described above, Termination shall not relieve You of the obligation to pay any fees or other amounts accrued or payable to boardx.us through the end of the Term. Without prejudice to any other rights, upon termination, You must cease all use of the Services, Software, and Documentation and destroy or return (upon request by boardx.us) all copies of the Services, Software, and Documentation.

Severability

The Customer Terms will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. If any provision of the Customer Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of the Customer Terms will remain in effect.

Assignment

You may not assign any of your rights or delegate your obligations under these Customer Terms, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of us (not to be unreasonably withheld). We may assign these Customer Terms in their entirety (including all terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference), without your consent, to a corporate affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Fees

The Customer Terms, and any disputes arising out of or related hereto, will be governed exclusively by the applicable governing law of California, without regard to conflicts of laws rules or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Customer Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorney’s fees.

Entire Agreement

The Customer Terms, including any terms or order forms incorporated by reference into the Customer Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions in these Customer Terms and any pages referenced in these Customer Terms, the terms of these Customer Terms will first prevail, followed by the pages referenced in these Customer Terms (e.g., the Privacy Policy).
