Updated May 24th, 2018: Reflects changes for GDPR. Previous Version .
Thank you for choosing PageCloud! These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the PageCloud Inc. (“PageCloud”, “we” or “our” or “us”) websites and services, so please carefully read them before using the Services. We provide you with a creative tool that allows you to create, port, edit, manage and host your websites and mobile applications (your “Site”) using PageCloud’s software-as-a-service platform (the “Services”).
These Terms are a legally binding contract between you and PageCloud. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and that you are not barred under any applicable law from entering into these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that organization.
1. The Services.
Subject to these Terms and our Acceptable Use Policy, we grant you a worldwide, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services, during your Subscription, to create, edit, maintain and host your Site. We may change the Services over time as we refine and add more features and may need to stop, suspend, or modify the Services, Content or features at any time without prior notice to you.
2. Your Stuff
2.1 Ownership of Your Stuff. Our Services allow you to store, process, access, and query the data and content that you upload or import into the Services or make available through the Services, which may include without limitation, data, text, software, music, sound, functionality, images, photographs, graphics, video, messages or other content (together and including your Sites, “Your Stuff”), provided you comply with these Terms. You represent and warrant to us that you own or have the rights to upload or import Your Stuff into the Services. These Terms do not grant us any rights to Your Stuff or intellectual property except for the limited rights that are needed to run the Services set out in these Terms.
2.2 License to Your Stuff. You grant us, for as long as you use the Services, a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, copy, transmit, display, and use Your Stuff in connection with the Services or as otherwise provided herein and you represent and warrant that you have all the rights necessary, including any required rights in copyrighted materials, to grant us this license. You understand that we use third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary infrastructure, hardware, software, networking, storage and related technology required to run the Services, so you grant us the right to sublicense the same rights to such third parties to provide the Services.
2.3 Content Removal. You are solely responsible for Your Stuff and your use of the Services. We don’t pre-screen Your Stuff, but we and our designees (including our third-party vendors and hosting partners) have the right (but not the obligation) in our sole discretion to access, review, and monitor Your Stuff, Your Site, or any information on or made available through the Services, and if we determine in our sole and reasonable discretion, that Your Stuff violates our Acceptable Use Policy, we reserve the right to refuse, remove or delete Your Stuff, without notice. If you are using Your Stuff to sell a product and we remove or delete Your Stuff, you agree to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to stop the delivery of any such products to the buyer, or (ii) pay a refund for such products to the respective buyer. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, or legality of Your Stuff, user posts, or any other information you may be able to access using the Services.
2.4 Sharing Your Stuff. The Services provide features that allow you to share Your Stuff with others or to make it public. Please consider carefully what you choose to share or make public. PageCloud has no responsibility for that activity. You are responsible for drafting the terms of use and privacy policy for your Sites. To make sure we’re protected, you must include intellectual property, limitations of liability, limitations of remedy, disclaimers of warranty, and indemnification provisions at least as favorable to your licensors (like us) as these Terms.

These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder commence on the date you first begin using the Services and will continue for as long as you have an active Subscription. Your Subscription and these Terms will automatically renew for successive one (1) month or twelve (12) month periods, as the case may be, unless either party provides termination notice to the other at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of your Subscription or if either party terminates the Services in accordance with these Terms. If you do not maintain an active Subscription, these Terms, the licenses granted hereunder, and your use of and access to the Services, will terminate.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. If we suspend or terminate your use, we will try to let you know in advance by using the contact information in your account and help you retrieve data that you failed to backup within 10 days of the suspension or termination, though there may be some cases where we need to suspend your access immediately without notice to you.
11. PageCloud is Available “AS-IS”
Though we want to provide a great service and we use a hosting service provider which provides our storage space for our Services, there are certain things about the Services and Content we can’t promise. For example, THE SERVICES, CONTENT AND THIRD PARTY CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE”, AT YOUR OWN RISK, WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY AND APPROPRIATENESS OF YOUR STUFF AND ALL ACCOMPANYING DATA WITHIN YOUR SITES. WE WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR INACCURATE INFORMATION AND ANY POTENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY SUCH INACCURACIES. WE ALSO DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. (We are not shouting — it’s just that these disclaimers are really important, so we want to highlight them.) PageCloud will have no responsibility for any harm to your computer system, loss or corruption of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Site, Services, or Content. Some jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.
FURTHER, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT ARE APPROPRIATE OR AVAILABLE FOR USE IN ALL GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS. IF YOU USE THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT OUTSIDE CANADA, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, COPYRIGHT LAWS AND EXPORT, IMPORT, AND USE LAWS AND REGULATIONS OF OTHER COUNTRIES. NEITHER PAGECLOUD NOR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, PARTNERS, OR AFFILIATES WARRANT THAT SERVERS, CONTENT, SERVICES, OR ANY E-MAIL SENT FROM THE SERVICES OR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, PARTNERS, OR AFFILIATES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
12. Exclusive Remedy
IN THE EVENT OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICES, THE CONTENT OR THE THIRD PARTY CONTENT, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO CEASE USING SUCH SERVICES, THE CONTENT OR THE THIRD PARTY CONTENT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL PAGECLOUD OR OUR AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR YOUR ACCESS AND USE OF THE SERVICES, THE CONTENT, YOUR STUFF, YOUR SITE OR THIRD PARTY USER GENERATED CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH YOUR SITE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, ANY INFRINGEMENT OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OTHER RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF, OR RELATED TO, THE USE OF THE SITE, THE SERVICES, THE CONTENT, YOUR STUFF, THE PRODUCTS OR ANY THIRD PARTY USER GENERATED CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE. Certain jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the exclusions set out herein may not apply to you.

WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PERSONAL INJURY, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR OTHER DATA ON YOUR COMPUTER, SITE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE, THE SERVICES, THE CONTENT, THIRD PARTY CONTENT, YOUR STUFF, THE PRODUCTS, OR ANY THIRD PARTY USER GENERATED CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, MALPRACTICE, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

15. Modifications
We may revise these Terms from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our Site. Therefore, we encourage you to visit this page periodically to monitor any changes. In the event of any material change to these Terms, we will post a notice on the Site that we have changed these Terms. If we have your email address in your account information, we may (but are not required to) email you to provide notice that we have changed these Terms. We are not responsible if (i) any email notice gets caught by your email filter and you do not see the email, (ii) you provided us the wrong email address, (iii) you failed to update your email address, or (iv) there are other Internet or communications issues that prevent our email from reaching you. We recommend you frequently visit the Site to monitor any changes to these Terms. Your continued access to and use of the Site, Services, and Content following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes. By continuing to access or use the Site, Services, and Content after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the revised terms, please stop using the Site, Services, and Content.
16. Miscellaneous Legal Terms
These Terms shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, exclusive of rules and principles of conflicts of law. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada. The parties further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to these Terms and agree that any proceeding must be brought in and remain in the courts located in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and PageCloud with respect to the Services, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the Services. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights. PageCloud’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full effect. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but PageCloud may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services. A printed version of these Terms and of any related notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. PageCloud and you are not legal partners or agents; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors. Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of these Terms for any reason, any provisions of these Terms containing license restrictions, warranties and warranty disclaimers, confidentiality obligations, limitations of liability and/or indemnity terms, and any provision of these Terms which, by its nature, is intended to survive termination or expiration, shall survive and remain in effect following any such termination or expiration.
