These Terms of Use (“Terms”) contain the terms under which Chaac Technologies Inc. provides their services (“Service”) to you and describes how the Service may be accessed and utilized by you and your organization.
You indicate your agreement and consent to these Terms by clicking or tapping on a button indicating your acceptance of these Terms, by executing a document that references them, or by using the Service.
If you will be using the Service on behalf of an organization, you agree to these Terms on behalf of that organization and you represent that you have the authority to do so. In such case, “you” and “your” will refer to that organization.
Unless otherwise specified, all references to money amounts in these Terms are in Canadian dollars.
Chaac Technologies Inc., (“we”, “us”, “our”, etc.) owns and operates the chaac.tech web site (the “Site”), on which we provide a Service that enables customers (each a “Customer”, or “you,” “your,” etc.) to perform field data collection on mobile devices and to store subscriber content (as that term is defined below). The Service may also include installation and operation of one or more downloadable software applications from us intended for integrated use therewith (with the Site, such service, and such software applications collectively and individually being referred to as the “Service”). Your use of the Service is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use (these “Terms” or the “Terms of Use”).
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement by and between you and us. By accessing and using the Service, you accept these Terms and agree to the provisions, terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced herein whether or not you become a registered user. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Service. You also consent to the processing and storage of Subscriber Content and acknowledge that we are simply a data processor, as that term is generally defined.
We acknowledge that each Customer may authorize multiple Members (as defined below) to use the Service under that Customer’s particular Account (as defined below). Access to or use of the Service by you shall cause these Terms and Conditions to be binding upon yourself, the primary Account holder to your respective Account, and all Members under such Account.
Rights Granted
On the condition that you comply with all your obligations under the Terms we grant to each Customer a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable, terminable right and license to use the Service, which includes downloading, installing, and operating the mobile software application components, all in accordance herewith and with such instructions and documentation as we may post on the Site or otherwise promulgate from time to time. This license is for the sole purpose of using the Service for its intended purpose as outlined in the Terms. You may not copy, modify, adapt, distribute, sell, lease, or reverse engineer any part of the Service or software.
We reserve the right to make changes to these Terms at any time without notice to you by posting the changed Terms on the Site or by otherwise making them available to you with reasonable prominence. All changes shall be effective immediately thereupon. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Service after the posting of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes. We may change the features and functions of the Service, including the API (defined below), over time. It is your responsibility to ensure that calls or requests made to the Service are compatible with the current API. We will make reasonable attempts to avoid changes to our APIs that are not backwards compatible, and we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any changes to that effect prior to implementation if they become necessary.
