Updated: 30 August 2017

This Service Agreement (the "Agreement") is between 11581392 Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation ("Tooltip") and the organization agreeing to these terms ("Customer"). This Agreement governs access to and use of the Services and Beta Services provided by Tooltip. By signing your contract for the Services, or using the Services, you agree to this Agreement as a Customer.

If you are agreeing to this Agreement  for use of the Services by an organization, you are agreeing on behalf of that organization. You must have the authority to bind that organization to these terms, otherwise you must not sign up for the Services.

1. Services

1.1 Provision

This Agreement governs access to, and use of, the Services and Software. Customer and End Users may access and use the Services in accordance with this Agreement.


1.2 Modifications

Tooltip may update the Services from time to time. If Tooltip changes the Services in a manner that materially reduces their functionality, Tooltip will notify Customer at the email address associate with the account, and Customer may provide notice within 30 (thirty) days of the change to terminate the Agreement. This termination right will not apply to updates made to features provided on a beta or evaluation basis.


1.3 Software

a. General
The Services allow Customer to download Software that may update automatically. If any component of the Software is offered under an open source license, Tooltip will make the license available to Customer and to the extent the provisions of that license grant Customer additional rights, those provisions will expressly override some terms of this Agreement with respect to that component of the Software.

b. License
Tooltip hereby grants to Customer during the Term a limited non-exclusive license to use the Software solely in connection with the Services and in accordance with this Agreement. This license is non-transferable, revocable, non-sublicensable, and will be fully paid up upon Customer's payment of the Fees.


1.4 Customer Domains 

Prior to providing the Services Tooltip may require Customer to verify that Customer owns or controls the Customer Domains. If Customer does not own or control the Customer Domains, then Tooltip will have no obligation to provide Customer with the Services.

2. Customer Obligations

2.1 Customer administration of the Services

Customer may specify End Users as Administrators. Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords and Admin Accounts, and managing access to Admin Accounts. Tooltip's responsibilities do not extend to the internal management or administration of the Services for Customer. The Customer acknowledges that, if the Customer purchases the Services through a reseller and designates any of the reseller's personnel as Administrators of the Customer's Services account, the reseller may be able to control account information, including Customer Data, and access the Customer's Services account as described above.


2.2 Unauthorized Use or Access

Customer will prevent unauthorized use of the Services by its End Users and terminate any unauthorized use of or access to the Services. End User Accounts may only be provisioned, registered, and used by a single End User. The Services are not intended for End Users under the age of 13. Customer will ensure that it does not allow any person under 13 to use the Services. Customer will promptly notify Tooltip of any unauthorized use of or access to the Services.


2.3 Restrictions

Customer will not:
(a) copy, reproduce, distribute, transfer (by sale, resale, renting, lending, license, sublicense, download or otherwise), modify, create derivative works of, publish, publicly perform, or publicly display any part of the Services or Software;

(b) disrupt servers or networks connected to the Site; (c) publish, transmit, or link to any robot, spider, crawler, virus, malware, Trojan horse, spyware, or similar malicious code or item intended (or that has the potential) to damage, disrupt, compromise, or exploit the Software;  

(c) reverse engineer the Services or Software, or attempt or assist anyone else to do so;

(d) circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Site or features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any Content or that enforce limitations on use of the Services or Software.


2.4 Compliance

Customer is responsible for use of the Services by its End Users. Customer will comply with laws and regulations applicable to Customer's use of the Services, if any. Customer will obtain and maintain from End Users any consents necessary to allow Administrators to engage in the activities described in this Agreement and to allow Tooltip to provide the Services.

Customer will not store, transmit or otherwise process any information via the Services that falls within the definition of "Protected Health Information" under the HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 C.F.R. Section 164.051), unless Customer and Tooltip separately enter into a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement.


2.5 Third-party Apps and Integrations

If Customer uses any third-party service or applications, such as a service that uses a Tooltip API, with the Services: (a) Tooltip will not be responsible for any act or omission of the third-party, including the third-party's access to or use of Customer Data; and (b) Tooltip does not warrant or support any service provided by the third-party.


2.6 Third-party Requests

a. Customer Responsibility
Customer is responsible for responding to Third-Party Requests via its own access to information. Customer will seek to obtain information required to respond to Third-Party Requests and will contact Tooltip only if it cannot obtain such information despite diligent efforts.

b. Tooltip Responsibility
Tooltip will make commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent allowed by law and by the terms of the Third-Party Request, to: (i) promptly notify Customer of Tooltip's receipt of a Third-Party Request; (ii) comply with Customer's commercially reasonable requests regarding its efforts to oppose a Third-Party Request; and (iii) provide Customer with information or tools required for Customer to respond to the Third-Party Request, if Customer is otherwise unable to obtain the information. If Customer fails to promptly respond to any Third-Party Request, then Tooltip may, but will not be obligated to do so.

3. Customer Content

3.1 Submitted information and Content

Customer hereby undertakes to comply and be responsible for any and all material and information submitted by Customer and its End Users in their use of Service and Software: 

(a) Submitted Information and Materials must not contain information or materials which are inappropriate, inaccurate, misleading, fraudulent or otherwise illegal;

(b) Submitted Information and Materials must not contain, feature or promote any content, products, services, or other information that may be illegal to sell or promote under any applicable law, or that may be perceived as unlawful, inflammatory or offensive.

Customer acknowledges that Tooltip has no obligation to prescreen or monitor its access to or use of the Services or Software, or any information, materials or other content provided or made available through the Services or Software, but has the right to do so.

While Tooltip shall not be liable for any and all parts of the Submitted Information and Materials, it shall be entitled to remove or edit any of the Submitted Information and Materials which it believes to be inaccurate, inappropriate or in any other way inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Tooltip reserves the right at any time to categorize or re-categorize any Submitted Information and Materials, as determined solely by Tooltip in its reasonable discretion. 

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OBLIGATES TOOLTIP TO USE CUSTOMER SUBMITTED INFORMATION AND MATERIALS IN ANY WAY AT ALL.

4. Payment

4.1 Fees

Customer will pay Tooltip or Customer's Reseller all applicable Fees for the Services, in the currency indicated on the Order Form. Customer authorizes Tooltip, or Customer's reseller, to charge Customer for all applicable Fees using Customer's selected payment method. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as otherwise specifically permitted in this Agreement.

If Customer provides Tooltip or its reseller with a valid exemption certificate, Tooltip or the reseller will not collect the taxes covered by that certificate.


4.4 Withholding taxes

Customer will pay Tooltip or its reseller net of any applicable Withholding Taxes. Customer and Tooltip, or Customer's reseller as applicable, will work together to avoid any Withholding Tax if exemptions, or a reduced treaty withholding rate, are available. If Tooltip or Customer's reseller qualifies for a tax exemption, or a reduced treaty withholding rate, Tooltip or Customer's reseller will provide Customer with reasonable documentary proof. Customer will provide Tooltip or Customer's reseller reasonable evidence that it has paid the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted.


4.5 Automated renewals and Trials

IF THE CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT IS SET TO AUTO-RENEWAL OR IS IN A TRIAL PERIOD, TOOLTIP (OR THE CUSTOMER'S RESELLER) MAY CHARGE AUTOMATICALLY AT THE END OF THE TRIAL OR FOR THE RENEWAL, UNLESS THE CUSTOMER NOTIFIES TOOLTIP (OR THE CUSTOMER'S RESELLER, AS APPLICABLE) THAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS TO CANCEL OR DISABLE AUTO-RENEWAL.

Tooltip may revise Service rates by providing the Customer at least 30 (thirty) days' notice prior to the next charge.

5. Suspension

5.1 Suspension of End User accounts

If an End User: (a) violates this Agreement; or (b) uses the Services in a manner that Tooltip reasonably believes will cause it liability, then Tooltip may request that Customer suspend or terminate the applicable End User account.
