Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) including those additional terms outlined in Section 16 below as may be amended from time to time, together with any documents, policies, or terms they incorporate by reference (collectively, the “Terms”) are entered into by and between you and ansrsource Content US, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“ansrsource”, “we”, “our” or “us”). For purposes of these Terms, “you” includes, individually and collectively, any individual you (the user or the user’s entity or organization) permit to visit, view, use, or access the Platform under your Plan. To the extent that you have entered into another written agreement with ansrsource that contains terms that directly conflict with any of these Terms, then the conflicted terms set forth in such other agreement will control.

You acknowledge and agree that by (i) visiting, viewing, using, or accessing the Platform, (ii) clicking “Agree”, “Purchase”, “Submit”, or similar links, or (iii) signing or confirming a Sales Order or other agreement incorporating these Terms, that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms, irrespective of whether you are a guest or a registered user of the Platform. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, THEN YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM. ANSRSOURCE’S ALLOWANCE OF YOUR USE AND ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM IS EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON YOUR ASSENT TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THESE TERMS.

Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. Any personal information submitted in connection with your use of the Platform is subject to our privacy policy found at https://ansraccess.com/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is hereby incorporated by this reference. We will use information about you that we obtain either directly from you or that we obtain by nature of your use of the Platform in accordance with our Privacy Policy solely in furtherance of providing services to you and improving the Platform.

To access the Platform, you may be asked to provide certain information to help us create and maintain an account for you. As such, it is a condition of your use of the Platform that all information you provide is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide is governed by our Privacy Policy and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

Except as expressly provided herein, you may not transfer your account to any other person, and you may not use anyone else’s account at any time. In cases where you have nevertheless authorized or registered another person to use your account or Plan, or where you have acted negligently in safeguarding your account as set forth above, you agree you are fully responsible for (i) the acts and omissions of such person accessing the Platform via your account, (ii) controlling the person’s access to and use of the Platform, and (iii) the consequences of any use or misuse by such person(s).

Subscription Plan and Subscription Management

• Plan Scope and Term: The ansrsource business plan you purchase, register for, order, or renew includes the features set forth in the Company Partnership Plan (see below). ansrsource grants you access to the Platform for the term length set forth at the time of purchase, either during online checkout or as specified on a Sales Order (the “Initial Term”) in strict accordance with these Terms. Any renewal of the Initial Term (or a Renewal Term), whether such renewal occurs by way of your automatic renewal, online checkout, a renewal Sales Order, or otherwise, shall be deemed a “Renewal Term”, and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”, as applicable.
• Registration of Individual Users: Depending on your Plan, you may designate one or more of your employees to act as plan manager(s) (each, a “Plan Manager”). Any Plan Manager you authorize will have the ability to view user data and content, purchase additional subscriptions, invite users to utilize the features included in your Plan, including assigning and authorizing users via the Platform’s Plan administrative functionalities. By purchasing a Plan, a specific number of individuals may register as ansrsource users and receive access to the Platform. Each user must be designated and assigned by the business purchasing the Plan or by such business’s designated Plan Manager, after which each user will be invited to register for an ansrsource account and receive access to the Platform. Access to the Platform, including individual subscriptions, is to be used for the internal purposes of the business purchasing the Plan and may not be shared. If your Plan requires it, or if you desire, we can assign and authorize users to specific features included in your Plan after your purchase so long as you provide us with the first name, last name, and email address of the individuals that will be entitled to access the Platform. Contact your designated ansrsource Sales Representative or sales@ansrsource.com for more details.
• Changing the Number of Users: As a Plan holder, you or your Plan Manager may add additional users during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as applicable. Access to the Platform is conditioned upon timely payment for each user added, which will be prorated for the number of days remaining in your then-current Term and paid by your Payment Method on file (or invoiced). The number of individual users permitted in your Plan may not be reduced during the Term, nor will refunds be given for unused or unassigned licenses.
• Transfer of Access Not Permitted: You acknowledge and agree that the user access is specific to the individuals you designate. Except as set forth in your Sales Order, access granted under these Terms are not transferable to any other individual for any reason, and you will take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent your users from granting access to the Platform to any other individuals, both in and outside of your organization.
• Automatic Renewal: Unless you terminate your Plan in accordance with 12(b) below, or are purchasing through a reseller, or as otherwise set forth in your Sales Order, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT AT THE END OF EACH APPLICABLE TERM WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW YOUR PLAN (INCLUDING ALL FEATURES ON YOUR PLAN AT THAT TIME) FOR A PERIOD OF TWELVE (12) MONTHS AND PROCESS YOUR PAYMENT METHOD OR INVOICE FOR PAYMENT FOR THE RENEWAL TERM UP TO THIRTY DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR RENEWAL DATE AT THE THEN-APPLICABLE PRICE FOR YOUR PLAN.

Payment: Access to the Platform is expressly conditioned on timely payment of the then-applicable fee(s) in advance for your Plan in the amount set forth during online checkout or in a Sales Order, unless you are accessing the Platform via a free pilot or other no-fee arrangement. We reserve the right to increase or decrease any fee at any time; however, to the extent you have paid your fee(s) in advance, the increase or decrease will not become effective for your Plan or service until the end of your current Term.

• Payment Method: By registering for, subscribing to, or purchasing a Plan and providing billing information, you grant us and our authorized third-party payment processor(s) the right to process payment using the debit card, credit card, bank information, third-party payment provider, or reseller you provide, authorize, or maintain on your account (individually, and collectively, “Payment Method”).
• Payment by Invoice: If you choose to be invoiced during online checkout (or choose to have a third-party payment provider or reseller be invoiced on your behalf) rather than using your own Payment Method, you will be billed upon execution of a Sales Order, irrespective of the Plan start date, or, for online checkout, as of or around the Plan start date set forth during checkout. You hereby agree that payment is due as of the date of any ansrsource invoice, payable within thirty (30) days of said date.
• Editing Your Payment Method: If using online checkout, you may edit your payment method information by visiting our website and clicking on the “Account” link, available at the top of the pages of the ansrsource website. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your payment method information or have not provided proper notice of cancellation of your account (see Cancellation Policy in Section 12(b) below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the payment method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. We may update your payment method with information provided by the applicable payment service provider, and you authorize us to continue to charge the applicable fee to the updated payment method. Check with your payment method service provider for more details.(1) When you provide or add any form of payment method to your account, your bank may reserve the funds necessary or place a small authorization hold until the transaction processes or the authorization hold expires, but this is not the actual charge. The authorization will be removed from your account according to the policies of your bank; and as such, to remove an authorization, please contact your bank to clarify how long they hold authorizations for online orders.
  (2) Depending on where you transact with us, the type of payment method used, and where your payment method was issued, your transaction with us may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices because of exchange rates and other ansrsource-provided geographic-specific pricing. We do not support all payment methods, currencies, or locations for payment.
• Collection Methods: If your payment method fails, or if your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms—this may include charging other payment methods on file with us or retaining collection agencies and legal counsel, the fees and cost of which you hereby agree to pay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, your obligation to pay fees continues through the end of your applicable Term and regardless of whether you cancel your Plan during such Term. Late payments will bear an additional 1.5% interest monthly, plus taxes if applicable, which additional interest will be compounded daily.
• Suspension Because of Nonpayment: If payment is not received within the required time period, or if we are unable to renew your Plan based on inaccurate or outdated payment information, we may suspend your access to the Platform (including all of your users’ access) until payment is received. In the event we suspend your Plan because of nonpayment and reinstate access to the Platform after you have made payment, no additional time will be added to the then-applicable Term.
• Chargebacks: If you file a chargeback disputing charges made to Payment Method by ansrsource and the chargeback is granted, your account will be deactivated.
• Excess Use: If you use the Platform or services in violation of the scope granted hereunder, including but not limited to unauthorized rotation of user subscriptions within your Plan, or adding active users in excess of those outlined in your Sales Order (“Excess Use”), ansrsource may, in its sole discretion, invoice you for the Excess Use, at the rates set forth in the applicable Sales Order or, in the absence thereof, our current list price for the features included in your Plan for such Excess Use.
• Taxes: Payment is exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for any applicable sales, use, value-added, or excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties or charges of any kind, other than taxes on ansrsource’s income, imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by you under these Terms of Use or any Sales Order whether or not such taxes are collected by ansrsource. When processing your Payment Method or invoicing, we may include a separate charge for such taxes and will remit taxes collected, if any, to the appropriate taxing authority.

TEAM TRIAL / PILOT SUBSCRIPTION PLANS

Your Plan may begin with a free team trial (for businesses that checkout online) (“Team Trial”) or a free or paid pilot (for businesses that purchase through a sales-guided process) (“Pilot”). The length of your Team Trial or Pilot will be set out at sign-up. We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Team Trial or Pilot, including creating multiple free trial accounts, and to withdraw or to modify your Team Trial or Pilot at any time without prior notice and with no liability. As a Team Trial or Pilot user, you acknowledge and agree that use and access to the Platform is subject to these Terms.

• Team Trial: A free Team Trial is provisioned through an online checkout for a limited number of users. You agree that access to the Platform during the Team Trial is governed by these Terms. We automatically convert your account into a paid Plan upon its expiration, unless we provide notification of automatic conversion and automatic renewal when you initiate your Team Trial. If your Plan is not converted to a paid Plan, your users will lose access to the Platform at the end of such Team Trial and their progress will be deleted.
• Pilot: A Pilot is provisioned through a sales-guided checkout only, which may or may not include a fee for the Pilot depending on the scope, features, and number of users on your Pilot. You agree that you and your users’ use of the Platform during the Pilot is governed by these Terms. Unless otherwise set forth during checkout or a Sales Order, at the end of your Pilot we will not automatically convert your account into a paid Plan. However, at the end of your Pilot, in order to continue using and accessing the Platform, you must convert your Pilot into a paid Plan and pay the applicable fee.

5.2 COMPANY PARTNERSHIP PLAN

Your Plan may start with a trial, limited, or complete access to our Platform (“Company Partnership Plan”) facilitated through a company or community partnership between a third-party entity and ansrsource (each, a “Company Partner”). The scope and features of the Platform available to you, the length of your Company Partnership Plan, and the fee (if applicable, and whether paid by you or the Company Partner) will be set out during checkout—most often through a specific URL dedicated to the Company Partnership Plan or set forth in your Sales Order. Together with our Company Partner, we reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Company Partnership Plan, and to withdraw or to modify your Company Partnership Plan at any time without prior notice and with no liability. As a Company Partnership Plan user, you acknowledge and agree that your use of and access to the Platform is subject to (i) these Terms, and (ii) any other terms and conditions mandated by the applicable Company Partner as set forth as set forth in your agreement with the Company Partner.
