Effective November 17 2020

THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SECTION 21). IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AS SET FORTH IN THAT SECTION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

This Agreement is between you (“you” or “your”), as an authorized user of the Services (as defined below), and Consensus Cloud Solutions, LLC (“Consensus”), a Delaware limited liability company, and governs the terms and conditions of your use of the Services. By using the Services, you further confirm your acceptance of and agree to be bound by this Customer Agreement. If you are agreeing to the Customer Agreement on behalf of an entity or organization, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to it on behalf of that organization or entity (in such case any references to “you” and “your,” other than in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity).

This Agreement includes the terms of this Customer Agreement together with any operating rules, policies, price schedules or other supplemental documents expressly incorporated herein by reference and published from time to time by the Company. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and you regarding the Services, and supersedes all prior oral and written communications and agreements between you and the Company regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. However, your use of any software provided by the Company related to the Services shall be pursuant to a separate agreement governing use by you of such software.

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Services” include the jSign service and all other services described in this Agreement which are provided by the Company to you either now or in the future.

If you begin, but fail to complete, the sign-up process for the Services, the Company may contact you in an effort to help you sign up for the Services or another service of the Company or its affiliates. You hereby authorize the Company and its affiliates to make such contact, even if you ultimately determine not to sign up for any Company or affiliate service.

1. Services Description

The Company offers the Services described at its website www.jSign.com (together with other websites owned and operated by the Company, the “jSign Website”). The Service is intended to facilitate the electronic execution of documents between parties to those documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in any description or aspect of the Services shall be construed to make Consensus or any of its affiliates a party to any document processed through the Services. Consensus makes no representations or warranties whatsoever regarding any transaction made or attempted to be made by any party using the Services or seeking to rely on them.

2. jSign Service Usage Terms

The plan you selected at signup includes a fixed number of documents/contracts that can be signed per month in accordance with the pricing tier for your plan. You may not exceed the number of documents/contracts per month under your plan.

IF YOUR SERVICE INCLUDES A FREE VERSION OF JSIGN AND YOU EXCEED THE STATED DOCUMENT/CONTRACT LIMITS OR OTHER USAGE LIMITS OF YOUR PLAN, YOU WILL NEED TO UPGRADE TO A PAID VERSION OF JSIGN IN ORDER TO CONTINUE USING THE SERVICE AND TO CONTINUE HAVING ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS/CONTRACTS. FAILURE TO UPGRADE TO A PAID ACCOUNT AFTER EXCEEDING THE USAGE LIMITS OF A FREE VERSION OF JSIGN WILL RESULT IN ACCOUNT CLOSURE AND PERMANENT LOSS OF DOCUMENTS/CONTRACTS. YOU AGREE NOT TO HOLD JSIGN LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS POLICY.

Use of the Services is subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, and Consensus may in its sole discretion suspend or terminate your account for any violation of this Agreement or the Privacy Policy.

Notwithstanding our Privacy Policy, the Company has the right to disclose your email address to the owner of the website domain associated with your email address in order to monitor compliance with, and enforce, these terms. In addition, the Company is permitted to audit your use of the Service and any associated software by providing no less than five (5) days prior written notice of its intention to conduct such an audit at your facilities during normal business hours.

If the Company ultimately determines, in its sole discretion and whether or not it has conducted an audit, that you have violated any conditions or limitations on the Services or any associated software, the Company reserves the right to immediately terminate or suspend your Services and you agree to pay the Company’s cost of conducting any audits that, in the Company’s sole discretion, reveal non-compliance.

Further, in the event of a dispute between you and any third party over ownership of a jSign account, jSign reserves the right to suspend the account until (i) it receives a joint written statement from you and the third party as to who owns the account; (ii) it receives a court order deciding ownership of the account; or (iii) jSign determines in its sole discretion who is the proper owner of the account. jSign reserves the right to terminate an account within 90 days if disputed ownership of an account is not resolved. You agree that jSign is under no obligation to resolve a dispute regarding ownership of an account, and you further agree not to hold jSign liable for any inability to access documents/contracts or other data, or any loss of any contracts/documents or other data in connection with jSign’s policy on disputed ownership of accounts and any actions jSign takes or does not take in connection with that policy.

3. Document Storage

Documents/contracts submitted through the Service shall be stored for up to six (6) years from the date of submission to the Service (“Storage Term”) or up to ninety (90) days after termination date of your account, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, the documents/contracts shall be deleted, subject to Company’s retention policies and obligations under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that you may at your discretion and own risk change the Storage Term in your account settings.

You acknowledge that the Company may cease offering any document/contract storage or change its practices and/or limitations concerning this feature at any time, including, without limitation, changing the maximum number of days that documents/contracts will be retained or changing the maximum storage space allotted on the Company’s servers on your behalf. You further agree that the Company has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any failure or malfunction of this feature, whether or not such failure prevents you from utilizing the feature, including but not limited to the storage or deletion of any documents/contracts.

In the event that the Company, in its sole discretion, determines or suspects that any stored documents/contracts constitute, or may give rise to, a violation of any law or regulation or this Agreement, or you are otherwise in breach of any provision of this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to remove your stored file(s) and/or to deactivate any links to stored file(s) without further notice to you.

WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS OF ACCOUNT CLOSURE, ALL DOCUMENTS/CONTRACTS STORED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE PERMANENTLY DELETED. YOU AGREE THAT THE COMPANY HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR THE FOREGOING. COMPANY MAY RETAIN DOCUMENTS/CONTRACTS OR ANY PORTION THEREOF SUBJECT TO COMPANY’S RETENTION POLICIES OR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS.

5. Customer Responsibilities

You are fully responsible for the contents of any documents/contracts used in connection with the Services, and you have exclusive control and responsibility over the content of any such documents/contracts. The Company simply acts as a passive conduit for you to send, receive and sign information of your own choosing. However, the Company reserves the right to take any action with respect to the Services that the Company deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, if the Company believes you or your information may create liability for the Company, compromise or disrupt the Services for you or other customers, or cause the Company to lose (in whole or in part) the services of the Company’s suppliers.

You further acknowledge that not all documents/contracts may be executed in accordance with or pursuant to electronic signature laws, and may instead (or in addition) be subject to other laws governing execution of such documents, including but not limited to certain consumer protection laws. You are solely responsible for determining whether any documents/contracts you choose to use, rely on or execute in connection with the Services may be executed in accordance with or pursuant to electronic signature laws, or are excepted from such laws or subject to other laws. You agree not to hold Consensus responsible or liable for making such a determination. You additionally acknowledge that Consensus is not responsible for determining how long you are required to keep any documents/contracts in accordance with any applicable data retention laws or regulations.

12. Charges

a. Pricing Plans:

You agree to pay all charges for your use of the Services in accordance with the pricing plan you were offered and agreed to upon registering for the Services. The Company reserves the right to charge value-added taxes (“VAT”), sales or other taxes on the Services as it deems appropriate and the Company reserves the right to change prices or institute new charges for access to or use of the Services.

The Company may amend your pricing plan, including any charges thereto, at any time either by (a) posting pricing plan changes on the jSign Website, or (b) sending information regarding the pricing plan changes to the email address you provided to the Company. You are responsible for regularly reviewing such pricing information. Continued use of the Services or non-termination of your account, after changes are either posted or emailed to you, constitutes your acceptance of the prices as modified.

If you have questions regarding any charges that have been applied to your account, you must contact the Company’s Customer Service Department within thirty (30) days of the charge date. Failure to do so will waive your ability to dispute such charges. Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges.

b. Payment for Services:

Your activation fee, and service fees (such as monthly, quarterly or annual service fees as applicable), are payable in advance and are COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE. You agree that the Company may submit charges for your service fee each renewable term (for example and without limitation, each month for a monthly subscription) and in each case without further authorization from or notice to you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your designated card(s). Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice. You agree that the Company may (at its option) accumulate Services fees incurred during your monthly billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each cycle, and that the Company may delay obtaining authorization from your card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s). This means that accumulated Services fee charges may appear on the statement you receive from your card issuer.

Any activation fee, usage charges, and monthly or annual Services fees, as applicable, must be made by the credit or debit card(s) designated by you for the Company use and transactions. If your Services account is a qualified business account approved by the Company for corporate billing, charges will be accumulated, identified by customer identification number and invoiced on a monthly basis. If the payment method for your Services account is by credit or debit card and payment is not received by the Company from the card issuer or its agent or affiliate, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by the Company. Each time you use the Services, or allow or cause the Services to be used, you agree and reaffirm that the Company is authorized to charge your designated card(s). Your card issuer’s agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with payment for the Services, and you must refer to such agreement (not this Agreement) with respect to your rights and liabilities as a cardholder.

c. Viewing Your Account Balance:

To view your current account balance, along with billing details and any accumulated charges, please log in to the jSign Website.

d. Promotional Period Customers:

If you subscribed to the Services pursuant to a special offer granting you a promotional period, any activation fee and initial service fee may be PRE-AUTHORIZED AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD LIMIT (meaning the amounts pre-authorized will not be considered available credit or debit funds in such account). These fees will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card, without further authorization from you, upon the expiration of such free trial period, unless you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

e. Pre-Paid Discounts:

If you subscribed to the Services pursuant to a special offer granting a pre-paid discount for a fixed period of time, your pre-paid fees are payable in advance and are COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE. In addition, your initial service fee for the period immediately following your pre-paid period will be PRE-AUTHORIZED AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD LIMIT and will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card, without further authorization from you, upon the expiration of such pre-paid period, unless you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

f. Usage Charges:

If the plan you signed up for includes overage or usage charges, you will be charged overage or usage charges in accordance with that plan. These additional charges, to the extent they are included in your plan, apply when you exceed the number of documents/contracts in your jSign Services plan. You agree that the Company may charge you for any such usage or overage if you exceed the limits of your plan.

g. Notification of Changed Billing Information:

You must promptly notify the Company of changes to: (a) the account number, security code or expiration date of your designated credit or debit cards; (b) your billing address for the designated credit or debit card; and (c) the name of each minor whom you have authorized to use your Services account. You must also promptly notify the Company if your card is canceled for any reason, including loss or theft. In order to avoid Services interruptions caused by rejected credit or debit card charges, the Company reserves the right to update your credit or debit card details (such as expiration dates or new card numbers). You understand and agree that the Company is entitled to obtain such updated card details, store them and use them to bill charges.

h. Usage and/or Account Credit Balances. The Company may, from time to time, award you a credit applied to your jSign Services usage and/ or account balance, which is a non-refundable credit . jSign Services usage and/ or account credit balances have no cash value and will expire on the earlier of (i) termination of your account or (ii) 30 days after they are issued, and are subject to any additional terms associated with the credit offer.

i. Late Fees. An administrative late fee of $4.95 USD (or the approximate equivalent in local currency) or the maximum amount permitted under and subject to applicable law, may be charged to your account each time full payment of your outstanding balance is not received by the payment due date. You agree that the Company may submit charges for late fees without further authorization from or notice to you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated or canceled your jSign Services, or wish to change your designated card(s). Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

13. Termination for Non-Payment

The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and associated Services, without notice, upon rejection of any credit or debit card charges or if your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to the Company when the Company believes you are liable for the charge. Such rights are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other legal rights or remedies available to the Company.

Upon account closure, all documents/contracts connected with your account will be permanently deleted. In addition, you understand and acknowledge that in the event the account is later reactivated, such documents/contracts may not be available. You agree that the Company has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the foregoing.

14. Ownership

All programs, services, processes, designs, software, technologies, trademarks, trade names, inventions and materials comprising any portion of the Services are wholly owned by the Company, its affiliates and/or its licensors and service providers except where expressly stated otherwise.

You are prohibited from selling, reselling, renting or leasing the use of the Services.

17. Participation In Promotions Of Advertisers

You may correspond with, or participate in, promotions of advertisers showing their products via the Services.

The Company assumes no liability, obligation or responsibility for any part of any such correspondence or promotion.

18. Notices and Consent

In any matter requiring the Company’s prior consent, such consent will be considered given only if made in writing by an authorized representative of the Company.

19. General Terms

THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., EXCLUDING ITS CONFLICTS-OF-LAW RULES, GOVERN THIS AGREEMENT AND YOUR USE OF THE COMPANY’S SOFTWARE AND THE SERVICES. THE U.N. CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS IS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced.

You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights hereunder whether by direct assignment, by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempt to the contrary is void. The Company shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting directly or indirectly from any causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control.

A. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY SHALL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION.

YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THE AGREEMENT, THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PROVISION, AND THAT YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, EITHER PARTY MAY BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT PRECLUDE YOU FROM BRINGING ISSUES TO THE ATTENTION OF FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL AGENCIES, INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION. SUCH AGENCIES CAN, IF THE LAW ALLOWS, SEEK RELIEF AGAINST THE COMPANY ON YOUR BEHALF. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT.

B. A PARTY WHO INTENDS TO SEEK ARBITRATION MUST FIRST SEND TO THE OTHER, BY CERTIFIED MAIL, A WRITTEN NOTICE OF DISPUTE (“NOTICE”). THE NOTICE TO THE COMPANY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO: CONSENSUS CLOUD SOLUTIONS, LLC., ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT, 700 S. FLOWER ST., 15TH FLOOR, LOS ANGELES, CA 90017, USA (“NOTICE ADDRESS”). THE NOTICE MUST (A) DESCRIBE THE NATURE AND BASIS OF THE CLAIM OR DISPUTE; AND (B) SET FORTH THE SPECIFIC RELIEF SOUGHT (“DEMAND”). IF THE COMPANY AND YOU DO NOT REACH AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE CLAIM WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE NOTICE IS RECEIVED, YOU OR THE COMPANY MAY COMMENCE AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. DURING THE ARBITRATION, THE AMOUNT OF ANY SETTLEMENT OFFER MADE BY THE COMPANY OR YOU SHALL NOT BE DISCLOSED TO THE ARBITRATOR UNTIL AFTER THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THE AMOUNT, IF ANY, TO WHICH YOU OR THE COMPANY IS ENTITLED. YOU MAY DOWNLOAD OR COPY A FORM NOTICE AND A FORM TO INITIATE ARBITRATION AT WWW.ADR.ORG. IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PAY A FILING FEE, AFTER THE COMPANY RECEIVES NOTICE AT THE NOTICE ADDRESS THAT YOU HAVE COMMENCED ARBITRATION, IT WILL PROMPTLY REIMBURSE YOU FOR YOUR PAYMENT OF THE FILING FEE, UNLESS YOUR CLAIM IS FOR GREATER THAN US$10,000.

C. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY, “AAA RULES”) OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), AS MODIFIED BY THE AGREEMENT, AND WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE AAA. THE AAA RULES AND FORMS ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE AT WWW.ADR.ORG. THE ARBITRATOR IS BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. ALL ISSUES ARE FOR THE ARBITRATOR TO DECIDE, INCLUDING ISSUES RELATING TO THE SCOPE AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. UNLESS THE COMPANY AND YOU AGREE OTHERWISE, ANY ARBITRATION HEARINGS WILL TAKE PLACE BY VIDEO OR TELEPHONE CONFERENCE. IF YOUR CLAIM IS FOR US$10,000 OR LESS, THE COMPANY AGREES THAT YOU MAY CHOOSE WHETHER THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED TO THE ARBITRATOR, THROUGH A TELEPHONIC HEARING, OR BY AN IN-PERSON HEARING AS ESTABLISHED BY THE AAA RULES. IF YOUR CLAIM EXCEEDS US$10,000, THE RIGHT TO A HEARING WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE AAA RULES. REGARDLESS OF THE MANNER IN WHICH THE ARBITRATION IS CONDUCTED, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ISSUE A REASONED WRITTEN DECISION SUFFICIENT TO EXPLAIN THE ESSENTIAL FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON WHICH THE AWARD IS BASED. THE ARBITRATOR IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO AWARD PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES NOT MEASURED BY THE PREVAILING PARTY’S ACTUAL DAMAGES, AND MAY NOT, IN ANY EVENT, MAKE ANY RULING, FINDING OR AWARD THAT DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE AGREEMENT.
