Introduction
Thank you for using Seguno apps and other software and services provided by Seguno Software, Inc. (“Seguno”). Seguno’s mission is to help e-commerce marketers maximize profit and drive revenue through automation. The term “Service” as used in these Terms of Service (“Terms”) means Seguno’s e-mail marketing apps and all related products, services, software, technologies, deliverables and tools provided by Seguno.
Seguno is willing to provide the Service to you only on the condition that you first accept these Terms. By accessing, registering for, or using the Service, or by accepting these Terms through an “I Accept” checkbox or similar method, you agree to these Terms.
These Terms along with any Order (as defined below) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Seguno.
Please read these Terms carefully and, if you wish, print or save a copy for your records. If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.
If you are accepting these Terms in connection with your employment by an entity, these Terms are binding both on you and such entity, and you represent that you are duly authorized to bind that entity to these Terms.
Changes to These Terms
Seguno may change these Terms from time to time. When these changes are made, Seguno will make a new copy of these Terms available through the Service. You understand and agree that your use of the Service after the date on which these Terms have changed constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
Orders
You may gain access to the Service through your acceptance of an online Service sign-up page, or printed order, or other document that references these Terms (each, an “Order”). An Order may specify or reference applicable fees, the number of subscribers with which the Service may be used, how long you are authorized to use the Service, and supplemental terms. You agree that details regarding the Service, usage levels, and billing are as specified on Seguno’s help center and/or web site apply to each Order and may be updated from time to time by Seguno.
Changes to the Service
Seguno may, with or without notice, add features to the Service, change the Service, or remove features of the Service, at any time.
Your Account
Your account (including any account associated with an app that the Service connects to or work with, and associated user name and password, your “Account”) for access to the Service is for your personal use only. You may not authorize others to use your Account, and you may not assign or transfer your right to use the Service. You agree to keep your Account details confidential.
You are responsible for all activities, charges, and liabilities related to the Service and associated with your Account. You agree to immediately notify Seguno of any unauthorized use of your Account related to the Service of which you are aware.
You shall take all reasonable precautions necessary to safeguard against unauthorized access and use of the Service through your Account.
Term and Termination
These Terms and your right to use the Service remain in effect for the time period specified in the applicable Order (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier in accordance with these Terms. If no time period is specified in the Order, then the Initial Term will be for one month.
Except as otherwise specified in an Order, subscriptions for the Service will automatically renew for additional periods equal in length to the expiring subscription term (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either party provides notice of non-renewal prior to commencement of the next Renewal Term. As used herein, “Term” means the Initial Term and all Renewal Terms.
If either party materially breaches these Terms, and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of the breach from the other party, then the other party may terminate these Terms. In addition, Seguno may suspend the Service (or any portion thereof) upon notice to you if you breach these Terms.
Any of these Terms that by their nature are intended to survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, will so survive.
In order to protect the integrity of the Service, Seguno reserves the right at any time in its sole discretion to block individual users from accessing the Service.
Your Use of the Service
During the Term, Seguno grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license only to access and to use the Service for your own personal use, subject to your compliance with these Terms. You may not use the Service for any other purpose, or after the end of the Term.
You shall provide, at your own expense, suitable equipment, software, and internet access as necessary to access and use the Service.
Seguno Materials and Intellectual Property
Seguno and its licensors own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, all underlying technology and algorithms used with or otherwise enabling the Service, and all software and content available within the Service (collectively, “Seguno Materials”), including all associated trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights. Nothing in these Terms transfers any such rights, title or interest to you or any other user, and Seguno reserves all rights not expressly granted to you
You agree not to remove, conceal, or alter any proprietary rights notices (including copyright and trademark notices) contained within the Seguno Materials. You may not (and you may not permit anyone else to) extract, copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to access or use the source code of the software underlying or otherwise used to provide the Service or any part thereof.
All trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos and graphics associated with the Service ("Marks") are trademarks of Seguno and its licensors. You may not use any Marks without the prior written consent of Seguno. You agree that any breach of your obligations with respect to Seguno's and its licensors’ proprietary or intellectual property rights will result in irreparable injury to Seguno and its licensors for which money damages are inadequate, and you therefore agree that Seguno and its licensors shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to address such breach, without the requirement of posting a bond, in addition to any other relief that a court may deem proper.
Data
You shall retain ownership of data and information that is entered into the Service by you and by Authorized Users, including data and information imported into the Service by you from other systems that you use (“Your Data”). Your Data excludes Operational Data, as defined below.
You grant to Seguno a transferable (to Seguno’s successor), non-exclusive, worldwide license to use Your Data for the purpose of providing the Service. You acknowledge that Your Data will be stored and processed in the United States. You represent and warrant that: (i) you either own Your Data or are otherwise permitted to grant the license set forth in this paragraph; (ii) the use of Your Data on or through the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights, intellectual property rights, or any other rights of any person; and (iii) the use of Your Data in the Service does not result in a breach of contract between you and any third party.
Seguno retains ownership of Operational Data. “Operational Data” means aggregated and statistical data about its customers' use of the Service, including without limitation performance information related to the provision, operation or improvement of the Service.
Fees
You agree to pay the fees for the Service as specified in the applicable Order. All fees are payable in U.S. dollars and are nonrefundable and non-creditable. NOTE: the payment terms in this Section apply to payments directly to Seguno, and not to Seguno partners such as providers of apps that Seguno works with.
All fees may be increased upon thirty (30) days written notice to you. Any increase in fees for the base Service will not apply until the next renewal term.
Fees may be payable by you to a Seguno business partner or reseller.
If fees are paid directly to Seguno, then, unless another form of payment is specified in the Order, Seguno will bill your credit card (including, for purposes of these Terms, a debit card) for all applicable fees in advance of Service delivery. You shall provide accurate and complete billing information, including your name, address, telephone number, and valid credit card information, and shall promptly notify Seguno of any changes in that information. You acknowledge that the agreement between you and the applicable credit card issuer governs use of your credit card for payment of amounts owed to Seguno, including your rights and obligations as a holder of that card.
Except for taxes based on Seguno’s net income, if any authority imposes a tax, duty, levy, or fee upon your use of or orders for the Service, you shall pay that amount as specified in the Order or Seguno’s invoice or supply Seguno with exemption documentation. You are also responsible for paying all administrative fees (such as PayPal fees) associated with the Service.
If Seguno does not receive payment from your credit card issuer, upon demand you shall pay all overdue amounts by other means acceptable to Seguno. Seguno may accept other forms of payment, and if Seguno invoices you for Service, you shall pay to Seguno the amount indicated in each invoice by the due date reflected on the invoice.
If you fail to pay according to these Terms, Seguno may, without prejudice to its other rights and remedies: (1) charge interest on any unpaid amounts on a daily basis from the original due date at the rate of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permissible by law, (2) suspend or terminate your use and/or access to Service, or both (1) and (2). You shall reimburse Seguno for all reasonable expenses Seguno incurs in collecting past due amounts, including wire transfer fees, collection agency fees, reasonable attorney’s fees, and court costs. Seguno may charge a fee for reinstatement of suspended or terminated accounts.
Seguno may from time to time offer Service promotions and discounts for which you may be eligible, including free trials and promotions available for a limited time. Unless otherwise specifically noted, Service promotional offers and discounts apply to first-time purchasers only. Separate terms and conditions may apply to promotional offers and discounts. If offered, free trials of the Service may require that you register an account and provide payment information. This enrollment may obligate you to continue the Service beyond the expiration of the free trial period unless you take the steps necessary to cancel your account. You should carefully consider these obligations before attempting to enroll in any free trial.

You will: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Service, and (ii) notify Seguno immediately of any such unauthorized access and/or use of which you become aware.
Confidential Information
"Confidential Information" means all information disclosed by a party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Without limiting the foregoing, your Confidential Information includes Your Data, and Seguno’s Confidential Information includes the Service and associated software and technology, and the Operational Data. However, Confidential Information will not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party.
The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care to protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own similar Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonable care). The Receiving Party agrees (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose except to exercise a license or perform an obligation under these Terms, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with these Terms and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein.
The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is required by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such required disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
Third-Party Services
The Service may include services or other technology provided by third parties (“Third-Party Services”). The applicable supplier of any Third-Party Service is an intended third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce these Terms directly against you with respect to such Third-Party Service. An Order (or activation process) for a Third-Party Service may include or be accompanied by a separate service, license, or other agreement (“Third-Party Agreement”), in which case that Third-Party Service is provided solely under the terms of that separate Third-Party Agreement.
Seguno may also provide you with certain “Third-Party Supplier Notices” in connection with the provision of Third-Party Service. The applicable Order (or activation process) for a Third-Party Service may include or be accompanied by Third-Party Supplier Notices.
If you receive a separate Third-Party Agreement and/or Third-Party Supplier Notice in connection with the Service, you agree to the terms of such Third-Party Agreement and/or Third-Party Supplier Notice. Seguno is not a party to, and is not liable for breaches of, any Third-Party Agreement.
Seguno assumes no obligation or liability for: (1) the functionality or performance of any Third-Party Service, including their content, accuracy, or reliability, or (2) the acts and omissions (including with respect to privacy practices) of the suppliers of Third-Party Service, or (3) any other issues caused by suppliers of Third-Party Services. You acknowledge that a Third-Party Agreement might give the applicable third-party supplier rights with respect to your data beyond those allowed by these Terms or Seguno's Privacy Policy. Seguno does not guarantee that a third-party supplier will comply with its agreement with Seguno or its Third-Party Agreement with you, and Seguno is not required to enforce its agreement with a supplier of Third-Party Service.
