The Platform, the Applications and the Services are business products and/or services and are not directed at, nor intended for use or consumption by, persons acting in a personal capacity as consumers.  Accordingly, CloudNC recommend that, if you are acting in a personal capacity as a consumer, you leave the Platform immediately, do not download or continue to download any Application and do not access or use the Service.

2. REGISTRATION.

2.1 Registering An Account.
  In order to access certain features of the Service, Customer may be required to register an account on the Service (“Account”), including having valid credentials with a third party computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system or service that is recognised by CloudNC as compatible with the Platform, and through which Customer can connect to the Service, as permitted by the Service (each such third party credentials being, a “Third-Party Account”).

2.2 Third-Party Accounts.  The Service will require Customer to provide information about its relevant Third-Party Account in order for CloudNC to validate Customer’s Third-Party Account.  Customer represents that Customer is entitled to disclose Customer’s Third-Party Account login information to CloudNC and/or grant CloudNC access to Customer’s Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein) without breach by Customer of any of the terms and conditions that govern Customer’s use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating CloudNC to pay any fees or making CloudNC subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. Customer has the ability to disable the connection between Customer’s Account and Customer’s Third-Party Accounts at any time by accessing the “Settings” section of the Service.  Customer’s relationship with the third-party service providers associated with Customer’s Third-Party Accounts is governed solely by Customer’s agreement(s) with such third-party service providers.

If Customer provides any information that is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or not current, or CloudNC has reasonable grounds to suspect that any information Customer provides is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or not current, CloudNC has the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). Customer may not share Customer’s Account or licence key with anyone, and Customer agrees to notify CloudNC immediately of any unauthorised use of Customer’s licence key or any other breach of security.

3. OWNERSHIP.

3.1 The Service.
  Except with respect to Customer Data, Customer agrees that CloudNC and its suppliers or licensors own all rights, title and interest in the Service (including but not limited to, the Platform, the Application  and the Documentation), and any content that appears on or in the Service.  Customer shall not remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in the Service.

3.2 CloudNC Trademarks.  CloudNC’s name and other related graphics, logos, service marks and trade names used on or in connection with the CloudNC Properties are the trademarks of CloudNC and may not be used without permission in connection with any third-party product or services.  Other trademarks, service marks and trade names that may appear on or in the CloudNC Properties are the property of their respective owners.

4. FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS.

4.1 Third-Party Service Provider.
  The CloudNC uses Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (or such other entity as CloudNC may notify from time to time) as its third-party service provider for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services) (“Third-Party Service Provider”).  If Customer makes a purchase on the Service, Customer will be required to provide its payment details and any additional information required to complete Customer’s order directly to CloudNC’s Third-Party Service Provider.  Please note that online payment transactions may be subject to validation checks by CloudNC’s Third-Party Service Provider and Customer’s card issuer, and CloudNC is not responsible if Customer’s card issuer declines to authorise payment for any reason.  For Customer’s protection, CloudNC’s Third-Party Service Provider uses various fraud prevention protocols and industry standard verification systems to reduce fraud and Customer authorises it to verify and authenticate Customer’s payment information.  Customer’s card issuer may charge Customer an online handling fee or processing fee.  CloudNC is not responsible for this.  In some jurisdictions, CloudNC’s Third-Party Service Provider may use third parties under strict confidentiality and data protection requirements for the purposes of payment processing services.

4.2 Payment.  Customer shall pay all fees or charges (“Fees”) to Customer’s Account in accordance with the Fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a Fee is due and payable.  By providing CloudNC and/or CloudNC’s Third-Party Service Provider with Customer’s payment information, Customer agrees that CloudNC and/or CloudNC’s Third-Party Service Provider is authorised to immediately (and again at the beginning of any subsequent Subscription period) invoice Customer’s Account for all Fees due and payable to CloudNC hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required.  Customer shall immediately notify CloudNC of any change in Customer’s payment information to maintain its completeness and accuracy.  Customer’s failure to provide accurate payment information to CloudNC and/or CloudNC’s Third-Party Service Provider or CloudNC’s inability to collect payment constitutes Customer’s material breach of this Agreement.  Except as set forth in this Agreement, all Fees for the Service are non-refundable.

4.3 Subscriptions.  If Customer purchases access to certain features and functionality of the Services on a time-limited basis (a “Subscription”), the Fee for such Subscription (“Service Subscription Fee”) will be billed at the start of the Subscription (“Subscription Service Commencement Date”) and at regular intervals in accordance with Customer’s elections at the time of purchase.  CloudNC reserves the right to change the Subscription pricing at any time in accordance with Section 9.4 (Agreement Updates) with any such change to take effect for Customer upon the next renewal of Customer’s Subscription.  If changes to the Subscription price occur that impact Customer’s Subscription, CloudNC will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer, such as by sending an email to the email address associated with Customer’s Account.  If Customer does not agree with such changes, Customer may elect not to renew its Subscription as set forth in Section 4.3(a)(i).

(a) Automatic Renewal.  If Customer elects to purchase a Subscription, Customer’s Subscription will continue and automatically renew at CloudNC’s then-current price for such Subscription until terminated in accordance with this Agreement.  The frequency at which Customer’s Subscription renews (i.e., weekly, monthly, annually, etc.) will be designated at the time Customer signs up for the Subscription and may be modified by Customer via Customer’s Account settings. Upon renewal of Customer’s Subscription, if CloudNC does not receive payment, (i) Customer shall pay all amounts due on Customer’s Account upon demand and/or (ii) Customer agrees that CloudNC may either terminate or suspend Customer’s Subscription and continue to attempt to charge Customer’s designated payment method until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, Customer’s Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, Customer’s new Subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

(i) Cancelling Subscriptions.  If Customer does not wish its Account to renew automatically, or if Customer wants to change or terminate its Subscription, Customer must contact CloudNC via designated support links in the Service or at camassist@cloudnc.com. 

(ii) Effect of Cancellation.  If Customer cancels its Subscription, Customer may use its Subscription until the end of its then-current Subscription term; Customer’s Subscription will not be renewed after its then-current term expires.  However, Customer will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Service Subscription Fee paid for the then-current Subscription period. 

(b) Upgrades and Downgrades.  If Customer chooses to upgrade its Subscription in the middle of a Subscription period, such upgrade will take effect immediately and any incremental Fees associated with such upgrade will be charged in accordance with this Agreement.  In any future Renewal Term, the Fees will reflect any such upgrades.  If Customer chooses to downgrade a Subscription, the downgrade will take effect as of the first day of the next Renewal Term.  Downgrading a Subscription may cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Services as available, and CloudNC does not accept any liability for such loss.

4.4 Taxes.    If CloudNC determines it has a legal obligation to collect Sales Tax (as defined below) from Customer in connection with this Agreement, CloudNC shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the Fees. If any payments for the Service or part thereof are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and Customer has not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to CloudNC, Customer shall be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and Customer shall indemnify CloudNC for any liability or expense CloudNC may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes.  Upon CloudNC’s request, Customer will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that Customer has paid all applicable taxes.  For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” means any “value added”, sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

4.5 Withholding Taxes.  Customer shall make all payments of Fees to CloudNC free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes.  Any such taxes imposed on payments of Fees to CloudNC shall be Customer’s sole responsibility, and Customer shall provide CloudNC with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as CloudNC may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.

5. INDEMNIFICATION.  Customer shall indemnify and hold CloudNC, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “CloudNC Party” and collectively, the “CloudNC Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, damages, liabilities actions, proceedings and expenses (including reasonable legal and professional fees and disbursements and costs of investigation, litigation, settlement, judgement, interest and penalties) arising from or in connection with (i) any use of the Service or any part thereof not in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) any use of the Results by Customer or any third party; and (iii) any failure by Customer or its employees, consultants or agents to comply with the restrictions set out in Section 1.2. CloudNC reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Customer, in which event Customer will fully cooperate with CloudNC in asserting any available defences.  

6. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER.

6.1 Warranty.  CloudNC warrants that the Service will conform in all material respects to the Documentation.

6.2 Disclaimer. Save as stated in Section 6.1, CloudNC makes and offers no representations, warranties, terms or conditions of any kind, whether oral, statutory, express, implied, by course of communication or dealing or otherwise. CloudNC specifically disclaims any warranty, term or condition with regard to satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights, completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, reliability, performance, or any other qualities or attributes.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CloudNC does not warrant that the Platform or the Results will be error-free or will operate without interruption, and CloudNC grants no warranty regarding its use or the Results generated therefrom. CloudNC shall not be responsible for reviewing or attempting to verify the accuracy or currency of any Results generated in Customer’s use of the Platform, and Customer uses the CloudNC Service and the Results at its own risk.  Results are generated on the assumption that all tools/tooling and other equipment used and intended to be used by Customer in connection with the use of the Results (i) is and remains in good repair and properly maintained, and (ii) in all respects matches the specification and operating condition reported to CloudNC in the Parts and Tooling Data.
