If you are accessing, using, or registering to access or use our Site or Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the requisite authority to do so on behalf of such organization and that you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of such organization. Any separate written agreement into which you have entered with TraceGains for use of our Services shall govern only to the extent of a conflict with these Terms. Otherwise, all other terms, rules, and guidelines and any other policy where these Terms are referenced are incorporated into these Terms. Your use of our Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”). For additional clarity, these Terms supersede and override any prior versions of these Terms in any posting, online format, or including but not limited to where referenced or included in a separate written agreement you may have with TraceGains.
DEFINITIONS
As used in these Terms, the following words have the following meanings:
“TraceGains,” “we,” “us,” or “our” means TraceGains Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries, the owner and operator of the Site and Services.
“Site” means the website located at www.tracegains.com, www.tracegains.net and any other subdomains or mobile versions where these Terms are linked.
“Services” means any or all the services we offer.
“Company,” “you,” or “your” means the person registering for an account and the organization for which you are registering your account or with which your account is associated.
1. YOUR ACCOUNT
To become a user of our Services, you must first register for an account. Every account must be associated with an organization. By registering for an account, you represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years old. If you are registering an organization for the first time, you represent that you have the requisite authority to register on behalf of such organization. Each user instance is independent from other users, groups, or entities that want to be users of Gather that must be upgraded separately; therefore, if a user is a company that elects to create multiple groups and users, they must upgrade each user and group separately and pay separate fees for each usage.
You will be required to set a password to protect your account. Choose a strong one because you are solely responsible and liable for all activities conducted through your account, whether by you, your authorized users, or anyone else. We disclaim all liability for any harm you may incur because of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. If you believe your account has been compromised, you must immediately notify us. If you ever receive a suspicious email requesting your account information, please immediately contact us at abuse@tracegains.com for investigation and response. TraceGains reserves the right to terminate any account for any reason in its sole discretion including without limitation for violation of these Terms.
As part of registration, you will be asked to provide certain data about yourself and your company, including Personal Data (as defined in our Privacy Policy). By providing this data, you represent that the data is true, accurate, current, and complete, and you agree to maintain and promptly update the user data, including Personal Data, to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete at all times.
TraceGains may process this data as set forth in the TraceGains Privacy Policy, including without limitation by disclosing such information to our customers and the customer’s authorized users and other third parties who may disclose and/or use the information for other lawful purposes. By providing such data, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary right, title, and interest (including any consent or other lawful basis) necessary to provide such data to TraceGains and any third-party recipients for these and any other applicable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
TraceGains and certain of its service providers are located in the United States. We will transfer any Personal Data to the United States as necessary for us to provide our Services or otherwise fulfill our contractual obligations. To the extent Personal Data is processed for other purposes, you consent, and represent and warrant that you have obtained any necessary third-party consents, to the transfer of Personal Data you provide to TraceGains to the United States. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information about how we process Personal Data, the rights you grant to TraceGains, and your rights and obligations with respect to Personal Data.
TraceGains will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, viruses or other harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other proprietary material due to your use of the Site, Services, or your downloading any material posted on the Site or any third-party website linked to the Site. TraceGains is not liable for third-party website, whether linked directly or indirectly to the Site; therefore, you must not enter another third-party website as you will be subject to those terms and conditions, not these Terms.

4. CONTENT ON THE SITE AND SERVICES
Content
All content, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights in the content available on the Site and Services, including without limitation designs, text, graphics, interfaces, and the selection and arrangements thereof (collectively, “Content”) are owned by TraceGains, with all rights reserved, or in some cases Content may be licensed to TraceGains by third parties under paid or unpaid engagements. This Content is protected by the intellectual property rights of TraceGains or those owners. All Content which qualifies for protection under U.S. Federal Copyright Law is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Court System, whether registered or unregistered. All trademarks displayed on our Sites and Services are the trademarks of their respective owners and constitute neither an endorsement nor a recommendation of such parties. Use of trademarks or links to the websites of third parties is not intended to imply, directly or indirectly, that those third parties have endorsed or have any affiliation with TraceGains.
User Content
Users are solely responsible for Content they make available on the Services (“User Content”). Under no circumstances will TraceGains be liable in any way for any User Content made available through the Services by you or any third party, and TraceGains does not guarantee that any content will be made available through the Services. Since TraceGains does not control the User Content, we neither guarantee the truthfulness, integrity, suitability, or quality of User Content nor do we endorse User Content. You acknowledge that, by accessing the Services, you may encounter User Content you find objectionable. TraceGains has no responsibility for any User Content, including without limitation any errors or omissions or the accuracy or completeness therein. TraceGains is not liable for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of any User Content on the Services.

Your Content
You retain ownership of User Consent whether uploaded or input by you directly, or uploaded or input into your account on your behalf (“Your Content”). We require certain rights in Your Content to facilitate the exchange of information between connected users and to enable services for other users of the Services. As such, you grant to TraceGains a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, display, distribute, and prepare derivative works (such as allowing users with whom you have shared Your Content to filter by certain attributes within Your Content) from Your Content. By including Your Content in the Services, you represent and warrant that you have all requisite authority to grant the foregoing license to Your Content. TraceGains does not set parameters on the Site and Services that favor one user over another; hence, Your Content will not have bespoke or tailored access and retrieval rights associated with Your Content that is shared with any third party during your use of the Site and Services.
You have the ability, sole discretion, and control as to how Your Content is displayed and shared within the Services. You are solely responsible for setting access rights for how Your Content is shared and TraceGains accepts no responsibility for incorrect selections. By way of example and not of limitation, a supplier of products and/or services may choose to (1) make its User Content displayed in search results when other users search supplier information, (2) share Your Content with third parties via chat/messaging capabilities within the Services, or (3) share Your Content with third parties via collaboration spaces to work together on projects and business critical operations.
You consent to TraceGains’ identification of you by name and logo as a user of the Services for the sole purpose of identifying your account during the Term.

Confidential Information may include information that is proprietary to a third party and is disclosed by one party to another pursuant to these Terms. TraceGains’ Confidential Information includes the Content (excluding Your Content), the Services and all features and functions thereof, and related pricing and product plans. Your Confidential Information is Your Content.
Restrictions on Use and Disclosure of Confidential Information
Except as provided herein, each party will (a) protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as the party would protect its own confidential information, but not less than a reasonable degree of care; (b) not use the other party’s Confidential Information, or permit it to be accessed or used, for any purpose other than as expressly set forth in these Terms; (c) not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to such party’s representatives who: (i) need to know the Confidential Information to fulfil its obligations or exercise its rights under these Terms; (ii) are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information; and (iii) are subject to confidentiality duties or obligations no less restrictive than those contained herein; and (d) be responsible for any breach of these Terms by any of its representatives.
6. FREE AND PURCHASED SERVICES; PAYMENT
If you register for a free trial or no charge version of the Services (“Free Services”), we will make the Free Services available to you free of charge until the earlier of (a) the end of the free period for which you registered to use the applicable Free Service(s), (b) the start date of any Purchased Services (defined below), or (c) termination of your account pursuant to section below entitled Term. ANY DATA YOU ENTER INTO THE FREE SERVICES WILL BE PERMANENTLY LOST UNLESS YOU UPGRADE TO PURCHASED SERVICES BEFORE THE END OF THE FREE PERIOD OR UPON TERMINATION OF YOUR REGISTRATION FOR FREE SERVICES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THESE TERMS TO THE CONTRARY, ALL FREE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.
Some or all features and functionality of the Services may require you to pay fees prior to accessing (“Purchased Services”). You are responsible for paying the fees presented when selecting your desired Purchased Services. All fees are offered in either U.S. Dollars ($) or British Pound Sterling (GBP) and are non-refundable, unless otherwise explicitly stated. Unless we agree otherwise, payment for Purchased Services will be made electronically via the payment methods we make available to you, which may include but are not limited to third-party payment processing, or credit card processing, or automated clearing house (ACH) transfer. Fees for using the Site and Services are located here https://gather.tracegains.com/pricing?tab=Buyer and are subject to change by TraceGains in its discretion.
Upon your creation of your account with the Site and Services, we create your free subscription in ChargeBee (an unaffiliated third-party payment subscription management service provider) to manage your subscription with us to analyze any upgrades to the Site and Services you select and transfers your information to Stripe (an unaffiliated third-party payment processor).
All amounts payable under these Terms are exclusive of any tax, levy, or similar governmental charge that may be assessed by any jurisdiction, whether based on gross revenue; the delivery, sale, or use of the Services; or otherwise arising out of the execution or performance of these Terms (including without limitation all sales, use, excise, import or export, value added, governmental permit, license, customs fees or taxes, or withholding taxes); provided, however, that you shall have no liability for any net income, net worth, or franchise tax assessed on TraceGains by the United States or any state thereof. Upon advance notice to you, we may change fees effective upon your next renewal. Such changes may include without limitation the right to charge a fee for new features or functions, or for features or functions that have previously been offered at no charge. For instance, monthly tiered pricing is adjustable to users electing to store additional document counts under the “Supplier Management Pro” Services offering, or if additional users are added to your account, which can thereby increase the total payment of the subscription fees for the Purchased Services you select (hereinafter, such pricing elections are referred to as the “Usage-Based Pricing”).
Downgrades from Purchased Services
When you downgrade from some or all Purchased Services, whether voluntary or involuntary, you may lose some or all the functionality you received with Purchased Services at the end of your then-current Subscription Term. After expiration of your then-current Subscription Term you have downgraded, your usage parameters will reset to those offered as part of Free Services. Any area of the Services where you are out of compliance could become read only access or will be completely unavailable, and you will not be allowed to upload new content until your account is restored in compliance with these Terms. If your account remains out of compliance for a period of ninety (90) days after the effective date of your downgrade, then your account will be reset, and you will lose all Your Content. Situations where downgrading and non-compliance may occur can include but are not limited to an invalid payment method (e.g., a declined credit card), a user choosing to alter the selected Services, violating these Terms, or cancellation by expiration of the access to the Site and Services. An exception to the foregoing can include new platforms and services added to the Site and Services, whereby a valid payment method will be required to remain on file with your account to continue to receive access and use of the Site and Services; otherwise, any removal by a user of its valid payment method before the end of the any portion of the term of an Initial Subscription Period or any then applicable Additional Subscription Period, the user understands it will not be able to access any of the Site and Services (or any related application, Your Content, or any of the information therein) at all until a valid payment method is provided and restored to active status for charging fees for use in accordance with these Terms.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION
These Terms begin on the date you register your account and will continue until you cancel your account, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Section. If you subscribe to any Purchased Services, your first subscription and payment (“Your Initial Subscription”) will begin on the date you first subscribe for the initial period you choose when subscribing (the “Initial Subscription Period”). Payments are processed every month while the Site and Service are made available to the user with an account that is in good standing until modified by either cancellation, downgrade, change in Services or access, or other purpose(s) in accordance with these Terms. Any additional subscriptions you make (each, an “Additional Subscription”) will begin on the date you first subscribe and continue until co-terminus with Your Initial Subscription. After the Initial Subscription Period, your subscription will automatically renew for consecutive periods equal to your Initial Subscription Period until you downgrade from Purchased Services to Free Services, you cancel your account, or your account is terminated in accordance with these Terms (each, a “Renewal Subscription Term” and together with the Initial Subscription Term, the “Subscription Term”); however, pricing may differ if Usage-Based Pricing applies to the Services offerings you elect.
Cancellations or downgrades from Purchased Services by you will be effective at the end of the then-current term, and you remain responsible for paying any outstanding fees. You must retrieve all Your Content prior to the effective date of cancellation. Any of Your Content remaining in your account after the effective date of cancellation will be deleted.
TraceGains may automatically terminate your account with immediate effect and without refund of any fees paid in advance if you violate these Terms.
Upon termination for any reason, the rights and licenses granted to you to use the Services will terminate and all outstanding amounts owed to use become immediately due and payable.
The following sections of these Terms will survive any expiration or termination of these Terms: Your Content, TraceGains Content, Usage and Aggregated Data, Payment, Term and Termination, Warranties and Disclaimer of Warranties, Limited Liability, Indemnification, General
