Pacific Research Group (PRG) Terms of Service

This is a legal agreement and you represent that you have authority to make these commitments on behalf of your organization.

• Agreement. This Agreement is a binding legal agreement between you and the applicable Pacific Research Group Entity indicated in Section 14.4 below (“Pacific Research Group”, “we”, “us” or “our”). If you enter into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind that entity and its Affiliates to this Agreement, and all references to “you” and “your” in this Agreement are referring to that entity. You and Pacific Research Group are also sometimes referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

  Our Privacy Policy is also part of this Agreement.

  Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use information that’s submitted to the Services. By using the Services, you are indicating that you’ve read the Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.

  This Agreement covers Apps that allow you to access our software, like the Pacific Research Group business app, but it doesn’t cover the Pacific Research Group App or our API's (which are governed by separate agreements).

  This Agreement applies to any use of the Services, whether in connection with a paid subscription or a free trial. For clarity, this Agreement does not apply to use of the Pacific Research Group App. That has a separate agreement, which is accessible through the Pacific Research Group App. In addition, if you (or any third party on your behalf) uses our APIs, you will be subject to the applicable API terms set forth, as may be updated by Pacific Research Group from time to time and/or any other terms designated by Pacific Research Group.

As we update our products and services, we may update this agreement. If those updates are significant, we'll notify you. You'll always be able to access the current agreement online.

• Changes to the Agreement. We may, in our sole discretion, make changes to this Agreement from time to time. Any changes we make will become effective when we post a modified version of the Agreement (or such other URL as specified by Pacific Research Group), as may be updated by Pacific Research Group from time to time, and we agree the changes will not be retroactive. If we make any material changes to the Agreement, we’ll also notify you within the Software Service or by sending you an email. If you continue using the Services after any changes, it means you have accepted them. If you do not agree to any changes, you must stop using the Services, and you can terminate your account by emailing info@pacificresearchgroup.com It is your obligation to ensure that you read, understand and agree to the latest version of the Agreement. The legend at the top of the Agreement indicates when it was last changed.

Additional terms apply to certain products that we provide.

• Supplemental Terms. Your use of, and participation in, certain Services may be subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”) and such Supplemental Terms will either be listed in this Agreement or will be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up to use the supplemental Service. If this Agreement is inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms will control with respect to the service with which it applies.

• Software Services

The Service Level Agreement describes our uptime commitments for the software.

• Access and Service Levels. Pacific Research Group will make the Services to which you have subscribed available to you, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. During the Subscription Term (defined below), the Software Services will meet the service levels specified.

We may temporarily suspend your access for things like scheduled maintenance, or if a natural disaster occurs. We may also change or discontinue particular features or functions of our Services at any time.

• Changes to Services. Notwithstanding Section 2.1.1, in addition to our rights set forth in Section 8.4, we reserve the right to suspend any Services (a) in connection with a Force Majeure event (as described in Section 14.9), (b) if we believe any malicious software is being used in connection with your account, or (c) during planned downtime as provided in the SLA. In addition, we reserve the right to change, suspend or discontinue any features, components or functions of the Services at any time. If we make any material changes to the Software Service, we’ll notify you within the Software Service or by sending you an email. Notwithstanding the above, we have no obligation to update or enhance any Services or to produce or release new versions of any Services.

We aren’t responsible for any third party products that are integrated with or used in connection with the Services.

• Third Party Offerings. Although the Services may allow you to access or use Third Party Offerings, they are not “Services” under this Agreement and are not subject to any of the warranties, service commitments or other obligations with respect to Services hereunder. The availability of any Third Party Offerings through the Services does not imply Pacific Research Group’s endorsement of or affiliation with the provider. Pacific Research Group does not control Third Party Offerings and will have no liability to you or Affiliates in connection with any Third Party Offerings. Pacific Research Group has no obligation to monitor or maintain Third Party Offerings, and may disable or restrict access to any Third Party Offerings at any time. By using or enabling any Third Party Offering, you are expressly permitting Pacific Research Group to disclose Your Data or other information to the extent necessary to utilize the Third Party Offering. YOUR USE OF THIRD PARTY OFFERINGS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS SUBJECT TO ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND POLICIES APPLICABLE TO SUCH THIRD PARTY OFFERINGS (SUCH AS TERMS OF SERVICE OR PRIVACY POLICIES OF THE PROVIDERS OF SUCH THIRD PARTY OFFERINGS).

We are not responsible for products or services from companies we recently acquired until we test and improve those products or services.

• Recently Acquired Offerings. As an administrative courtesy to you, we may offer Recently Acquired Offerings to you through this Agreement before fully integrating, testing, and improving such offerings to meet our standards, which may take up to twelve (12) months. All representations and/or warranties made by us in this Agreement do not apply to such Recently Acquired Offerings.

We may give you access to trial or beta Services for a time. We are not responsible for the results of using those Services.

• Free, Trial and Beta Services. Pacific Research Group may in its sole discretion offer free, trial or beta Services from time to time at no charge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (a) any free, trial or beta Services are provided “AS IS” with no warranties of any kind; and (b) Pacific Research Group may discontinue any free, trial or beta Services or your ability to use such Services at any time, with or without notice and without any further obligations to you. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, free Services that have not been accessed or used for 12 consecutive months may be terminated by us. Pacific Research Group will have no liability for any harm or damages suffered by you or any third party in connection with any free, trial or beta Services.

Additional terms apply for payment processing services.

• Payment Processing. Pacific Research Group offers the ability to process payments through the Services (“Payment Processing Services”). Payment Processing Services are provided by our third party payment processing partners as Third Party Offerings and any procurement by you or your Affiliates will be subject to a separate merchant agreement which will be solely between you (or your Affiliate) and the third party processor. If you use Payment Processing Services you agree that you and your Affiliates will comply with the terms and conditions of any applicable merchant agreements and all applicable card network rules, policies, laws and regulations, at all times while using such Payment Processing Services.

  At Pacific Research Group’S sole discretion, you may be offered next generation Payment Processing Services provided by PayPal. PayPal Payments are subject to the their agreements and subject to certain fees and surcharges communicated to you during the enrollment process and as may be updated by Pacific Research Group from time to time. By enrolling in Next Gen Payments, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Pacific Research Group enabling Payment Processing Services through Stripe, you agree to provide Pacific Research Group accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Pacific Research Group to share it and transaction information related to your use of the Payment Processing Services provided by Stripe pursuant to our Privacy Policy. To the extent permitted by law, we may collect any obligations you owe us under this Agreement by deducting the corresponding amounts from funds payable to you arising from the settlement of card transactions through Next Gen Payments. Fees will be assessed at the time a transaction is processed and will be first deducted from the funds received for such transactions. If the settlement amounts are not sufficient to meet your obligations to us, we may charge or debit the bank account or credit card registered in your account for any amounts owed to us. In the event a consumer chargeback or dispute occurs, you may be charged up to fifteen dollars ($15) per occurrence by Pacific Research Group. Your failure to fully pay amounts that you owe us on demand will be a breach of this Agreement. You will be liable for our costs associated with collection in addition to the amount owed, including without limitation attorneys' fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest. Additionally, we may require a personal guaranty from a principal of a business for funds owed under this Agreement. If we require a personal guarantee we will specifically inform you. In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts may be charged with fees that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts and chargebacks including, but not limited to, collection fees and convenience fees and other third parties charges. You hereby explicitly agree that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts will be made by electronic mail or by phone, as provided to Pacific Research Group by you. Such communication may be made by Pacific Research Group or by anyone on its behalf, including but not limited to a third party collection agent.

  Pacific Research Group may offer special pricing, credits, and/or discounts to you or your Affiliates for the Services contingent upon timely procurement, and continued material usage, of the Payment Processing Services and/or Next Gen Payments. In the event you or your Affiliate stop utilizing the Payment Processing Services and/or Next Gen Payments, Pacific Research Group may, in its sole discretion, revoke the special pricing, credits, and/or discounts being applied to the Services.

We have the right to end the Agreement immediately if you breach it.

• Termination for Cause.

If Pacific Research Group is unable to restore such functionality, you may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to Pacific Research Group, and you will be entitled to receive a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid fees. Pacific Research Group will have no obligation with respect to a warranty claim under this Section 9.2 unless notified by you in writing no later than thirty (30) days after the first instance of any material functionality problem. This warranty will only apply if the applicable subscribed Services have been utilized in accordance with this Agreement and applicable laws. For clarity, this warranty will not apply to any free, trial or beta Services.

This is our disclaimer of legal liability for the quality, safety, or reliability of our Services.
