BY EXECUTING OR ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF THIS SERVICE AGREEMENT, CLICKING “ACCEPT” OR “AGREE” (OR SIMILAR LANGUAGE) TO THE SERVICE AGREEMENT WHEN MADE AVAILABLE, OR ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICE, CLIENT AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS SERVICE AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT CLIENT IS DULY AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT THIS SERVICE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVING THE SERVICE.

- Documentation. Subject to and conditioned on Client’s payment of applicable fees and compliance with the Agreement, BoxCast hereby grants to Client, for Client’s internal business purposes only, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right to access and use any online or printed help resources, guides, and/or manuals provided by BoxCast for use with the Service (the “Documentation”). The Software, Hardware, and Documentation are collectively referred to as the “Service”.
- Term; Termination.
- Term. This Agreement is effective as of the date that Client purchases the Service (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for a period of one (1) year thereafter (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. This Agreement shall automatically renew at the end of the Initial Term and each term thereafter (such renewal term, a “Renewal Term”; collectively, the Initial Term and Renewal Term are the “Term”) unless either party provides written notice of termination to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term.
- Trial Period. If Client’s Software subscription includes a 30-day satisfaction guarantee (the “Trial Period”), such Trial Period is open to new subscribers only. A “new subscriber” is one that has not previously subscribed to any portion of the Service (including a free trial) or a similar service offered by any current or former affiliates or predecessors of BoxCast. If Client qualifies as a new subscriber, then during the Trial Period, Client may terminate this Agreement if (i) Client provides BoxCast with written notice of termination within 30 calendar days of the Effective Date; and (ii) Client returns the Hardware (if applicable) within 7 days of such notice in “like new” working condition. Upon termination during the Trial Period, BoxCast will refund any prepaid fees, provided that Client has not otherwise breached this Agreement. BoxCast’s refund of prepaid fees is Client’s sole remedy with respect to BoxCast’s 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
- Termination for Breach. Either Client or BoxCast may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach: (i) is incapable of cure; or (ii) being capable of cure, remains uncured thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides the breaching party with written notice of such breach.
- Upon Termination.
- Upon Termination for Breach or Expiration. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Client’s right to access and use the Software will immediately terminate. If BoxCast terminates pursuant to Section 2(c) or if Client terminates this Agreement without cause, Client shall pay the Termination Fee described below. If Client terminates for cause pursuant to Section 2(c), BoxCast shall provide a pro-rata refund of any prepaid unused fees (if any). Except as specifically stated in this Agreement, no expiration or termination will affect Client’s obligation to pay all Fees or entitle Client to a pro-rata refund of unused Fees.
- Termination Fee. If Client terminates this Agreement before the expiration of the Term for any reason except as permitted during the Trial Period or due to BoxCast breach, or if BoxCast terminates this Agreement due to breach by Client, then Client shall pay BoxCast the lesser of $650 or the remainder of the balance due on the Term (the “Termination Fee”) within 7 days of the termination date. Client authorizes BoxCast to charge the Termination Fee to Client’s credit card on file with BoxCast or automatically withdraw the funds from Client’s bank account without further approval by Client.

All payments shall be made (i) in United States currency, (ii) without deductions based on any taxes or withholdings, and (iii) using as a payment method automatic withdrawal from Client’s bank account, credit card, or paper check (provided that the paper check method of payment must be pre-approved by BoxCast through a purchase order). Client represents and warrants to BoxCast that payment information is true, and that Client is authorized to use the payment instrument. Client will promptly update account information with any changes (for example, a change in billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. Client agrees to pay BoxCast the amount that is specified in the payment plan (as well as any applicable taxes) in accordance with the terms of such plan and this Agreement. Client hereby authorizes BoxCast to bill the Client’s payment instrument in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan, as applicable (as well as any applicable taxes), and Client further agrees to pay any charges so incurred without offset or deduction. If BoxCast has agreed to invoice Client for the Service, Client agrees to pay all amounts set forth on invoices from BoxCast within thirty (30) days from the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.

- Automatic Renewal; Price Changes. The Service shall automatically renew according to the Client’s selected subscription plan unless changed or terminated by Client prior to the renewal date by notifying BoxCast in writing to questions@boxcast.com.
