This document was last updated on April 22, 2024.

The following PAIRIN, Inc. (“PAIRIN”, “our”, “we” or “us”) Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service”) is a legally binding contract between you (the “Subscribing Organization”, or “you”)) and PAIRIN regarding your use of the PAIRIN website, networks, and other features or services provided to you by PAIRIN (collectively, the “Service”).

PLEASE READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE INCLUDING THE PAIRIN PRIVACY POLICY (the “Privacy Policy”, and together with the Terms of Service, the “Terms”).

These Terms, as the master license, supersede any other terms relating to the use of the Services, including those that may be presented to users before permitting users to gain access to the Services (including any “terms of use” or other such agreements on the website where the Service is accessed, and commonly may be referred to as “browsewrap” or “click through licenses” located on the Service’s website) and that such other terms that may be presented to users, if any, are not binding upon individual users or the Subscribing Organization.

1.ELIGIBILITY

By agreeing to the Terms, you represent and warrant to us that:

(i) you, the individual, are at least 18 years old and have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service;

(ii) you, the individual, are an authorized representative of your Subscribing Organization with the authority to bind your Subscribing Organization to the Terms;

(iii) your Subscribing Organization agrees to be bound by the Terms;

(iv) Your Subscribing Organization’s use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations.

2.PRIVACY POLICY AND SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

Please read the Privacy Policy carefully for information relating to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. The Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.

3.MODIFICATION OF THE TERMS

The Terms may not be modified except by consent of the Parties.

4.ACCOUNTS AND REGISTRATION

To access the Service, users must register for an account (the “Account”). When users register for an Account, they may be required to provide us with some information about themselves (such as e-mail address or other contact information) (the “User Information” and as further defined below). You agree that you will advise users that the User Information that they provide to us is and will be accurate and up-to-date at all times. You understand that we are relying on the truthfulness of your User Information.

When users register, they will also be asked to provide a password. The Subscribing Organization is responsible for you and your users maintaining the confidentiality of the passwords.

You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your users’ Accounts. If you have reason to believe that an Account is no longer secure for any reason (for example, in the event of a loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of your password), then you agree to immediately notify us at legal@pairin.com.

5.PREMIUM SERVICE

5.1 Subscription Fees. PAIRIN, may, now or in the future, offer premium services through the Service (the “Premium Services”). PAIRIN may charge subscription fees for the use of such Premium Services. Your additional consent and agreement to the Premium Services will be required prior to us providing and you using the Premium Services. If you decide to use any Premium Services, you agree to pay to PAIRIN all related subscription fees, including in each case any applicable taxes (the “Premium Services Fees”).

5.2 Billing. Unless set forth otherwise in a separate written purchase agreement, Premium Service Fees will be billed at the beginning of your subscription or any renewal. Premium Service Fees are nonrefundable. PAIRIN may change the Premium Service Fees or add additional fees or charges for the Premium Services, on a going forward basis at any time. For any change in the Premium Service Fees for renewal of a subscription purchased under your account, PAIRIN will send you a notice of such change in advance of renewal (via a message on or through the Service or email). Each of your subscriptions, if any, will automatically renew unless PAIRIN terminates such subscription or you cancel such subscription. You must cancel a subscription prior to renewal to avoid incurring Premium Service Fees for the renewal term.

5.3 Payment. PAIRIN will bill charges through an invoice or through the payment method specified in your account (e.g., electronic funds transfer or credit card). If you pay any applicable Premium Service Fees with a credit card, PAIRIN may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. You authorize such credit card account to pay any amounts described herein, and authorize PAIRIN to charge all sums described herein to such credit card account. You agree to provide PAIRIN updated information regarding your credit card and account upon PAIRIN’s request and any time the information earlier provided is no longer valid.

To the extent any Aggregate Information is created by PAIRIN, the Aggregate Information will be solely owned by PAIRIN and may be used by PAIRIN for any lawful business purpose without a duty of accounting to you or any third party, provided that the Aggregate Information is used only in an aggregated form without specifically identifying any individual.
