Your password may be maintained by you as often as you like, however this password is non-transferable and your account may not be shared for other individuals to use. Upon termination of your membership subscription by non-payment, cancellation or suspension of service, this Agreement will automatically terminate and the license to use the Software under this Agreement shall be permanently revoked. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR ACCOUNT PASSWORD MUST BE KEPT PRIVATE AND MAY NOT BE USED BY ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR AUTOMATED PROCESS TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT UNLESS THEY ALSO HAVE AN ASSIGNED USER LICENSE OR "SUBACCOUNT" USER LICENSE. This includes access via Web, FTP, Secure FTP or WebDAV protocols. You hereby grant Konica Minolta and Officeware a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable license to use your logos, trademarks, service marks, and/or word marks in such parties’ advertising, marketing and promotional materials, including but not limited to such parties’ website.
2. Scope of Services. The services provided by Konica Minolta (the “Services”) include all online virtual data room, offline services and any related support services that Konica Minolta makes available to you in accordance with the license. Konica Minolta shall host your documents and files made available to Konica Minolta or its platform (the “Materials”) in a secure site and in accordance with a customary service level. Konica Minolta shall keep all Materials supplied by the customer confidential, secure, and in accordance with those standards required under ISO 27002 (Security) and SSAE16 SOC3; and ensure that all Konica Minolta personnel having access to Materials are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of those Materials. In the event that you require any additional services not provided for herein, Konica Minolta may provide such additional services upon mutual written agreement with you. All such additional services that Konica Minolta agrees to provide will be subject to this Agreement and any order or work statement applicable thereto.
3. No Liability for Data Stored. Konica Minolta and Officeware assume no liability for the content of any of the data which is stored through your use of the Software and the Services, be it obscene, offensive, illegal, or if it is an infringement of property rights of anyone. Individual users are solely responsible for the file content they upload and store. You warrant and represent that you own or otherwise control all of the intellectual property rights necessary for the data you store using the Software and Services.
4. Individual Account Security, Privacy, and Personal Use. You agree that you are the only person responsible for the security and confidentiality of your passwords or other identifiers required to be used in order to access the site and Konica Minolta is not responsible for such security or confidentiality. Furthermore, you are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Konica Minolta immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. Konica Minolta and Officeware will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge.

You may not use anyone else’s account at any time without the permission of the account holder.
5. Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and continue in effect thereafter until superseded or otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”). Each of the Services ordered shall be provided for the term specified by you in your initial order (the “Initial Term”). After the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will be extended and automatically renew for the same amount of time as the Initial Term until either party terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Agreement. Each extension and automatic renewal shall be deemed a “Renewal Term.” This Agreement may not be terminated by you during the Initial Term or during a Renewal Term unless terminated pursuant to this Agreement with such termination to be effective on the last day of such Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, such that no extension or automatic renewal will take place. You acknowledge and agree that your commitment to each Initial Term and Renewal Term is an important factor in Konica Minolta’s decision to agree to the pricing in this Agreement. However, you may terminate the Agreement prior to the end of the applicable Initial Term or Renewal Term if you (i) notify Konica Minolta at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of such termination and (ii) pay Konica Minolta all amounts already invoiced plus all amounts due under this Agreement through the end of the current Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, such that 100% of all remaining amounts due for the remainder of such Initial Term or Renewal Term are paid (the “Early Cancellation Fee”). In the event of your breach of this Agreement, Konica Minolta may at any time immediately terminate this Agreement by providing notice to you of such termination. If Konica Minolta terminates this Agreement for your breach, you shall pay the Early Cancellation Fee in addition to, and not instead of, any other remedies provided elsewhere in this Agreement, or by law, including without limitation Konica Minolta’s right to seek injunctive relief and to sue for damages. Upon termination of this Agreement, (a) you agree to immediately cease using the Software and Services and (b) Konica Minolta shall provide you with the information, assistance, and cooperation, as may be reasonably required, to assure an orderly return or transfer of your Materials to you or your designee.
