DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES.

Appointment-Plus licenses its appointment scheduling and resource management software to certain customers as a hosted application (the "Service"). We create a customized online scheduling application (the "Scheduler"), help train you in its use and administration, and host it at a third-party data center for access by users that you authorize (the "Users" and "Customers"). To use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. You must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and Internet access.
Prior to becoming a paying client of Appointment-Plus for the Service, you are required to enter billing information into the Scheduler specifying the charges and payment terms agreed to by you. As part of the Scheduler configuration, you will select a login name, login password, and Company information. Although we will make every effort to assign to you the name, password, and company information that you select, we reserve the right to reject any of your choices if it has been previously assigned to another user or if Appointment-Plus, in its sole discretion, deems such data or information offensive.

CONTACT AND BILLING INFORMATION

In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to provide Appointment-Plus with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information includes your legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of authorized billing and systems administration contacts. You agree to update this information within thirty (30) days of any change to it. If the contact information you have provided is false or fraudulent, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and your access to the Service and Scheduler in addition to any other legal remedies.

FEES, PAYMENT TERMS, RENEWAL, PARTIAL BILLING PERIOD

You will pay all charges in accordance with the fees and payment terms contained in the billing information portion of the Scheduler and/or related invoices. Appointment-Plus's fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes based solely on Appointment-Plus's income.
Unless otherwise indicated in the billing information portion of the Scheduler and/or related invoices, all fees and charges specified are nonrefundable whether or not you publish your Scheduler or actively use the Service. If you elect to discontinue use of the Service no refund will be given for the unused portion of the Initial Term or any renewal term.
This Agreement will automatically renew upon the expiration of the Initial Term unless terminated by you or Appointment-Plus, and we will automatically invoice you upon renewal. Unless otherwise indicated in the billing information portion of the Scheduler and/or related invoices, Appointment-Plus reserves the right to change the fees upon renewal with at least thirty (30) days prior notice to you, which notice may be provided by e-mail.
In the event that you terminate this Agreement (other than by reason of breach by you) or choose not to renew, Appointment-Plus will make available to you a file of Your Data within thirty (30) days of termination or non-renewal if you so request at the time notice is given. You agree and acknowledge that Appointment-Plus has no obligation to retain Your Data, and may delete such data, more than 30 days after termination or non-renewal. Termination by you will not relieve you of any obligations incurred prior to termination.
Appointment-Plus may terminate this Agreement by notifying you at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then current term.
Service may be cancelled at any time with 30 days written notice. No full or partial refunds will be provided regardless of system usage.

SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR NON-PAYMENT

If payment of fees is not received for any reason, Appointment-Plus reserves the right to suspend your access to your Scheduler if the problem cannot be cured within ten (10) business days and terminate your access if the problem cannot be cured within thirty (30) days. If you believe that an invoice or billing statement from Appointment-Plus is incorrect, you must contact us within ten (10) days of the invoice or billing statement date containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit or avoid suspension.
You will continue to be charged fees during any period of suspension. Appointment-Plus reserves the right to subject delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. Should your account be suspended for delinquent payment, Appointment-Plus also reserves the right to impose a separate reactivation fee should you thereafter again request access to the Service.
You agree and acknowledge that Appointment-Plus has no obligation to retain Your Data in the event of termination of the Service for non-payment, and as such Your Data will be irretrievably deleted. If you or Appointment-Plus initiate termination of this Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance due on your account computed in accordance with the Fees and Payment Terms section above.

TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

Appointment-Plus may deny you access to all or part of the Service without notice if you engage in any conduct or activities that Appointment-Plus believes in it sole and absolute discretion violates applicable law or any terms of this agreement. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service and your Scheduler hosted by Appointment-Plus under any provision of this Agreement may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Appointment-Plus may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service.

RELEASE; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Other than as set forth herein, Appointment-Plus is not directly involved in the actual transaction between you and your Customers using the Service and your Scheduler. Appointment-Plus has no control over the quality or legality of the appointments made, or the truth or accuracy of the user registrations. Appointment-Plus cannot ensure that your Customers will honor their appointments.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT APPOINTMENT-PLUS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF APPOINTMENT-PLUS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), RESULTING FROM: (a) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR YOUR SCHEDULER; (b) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS, DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICE; (c) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; OR (d) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR YOUR SCHEDULER.
