DESKTOP AND TOOLS TERMS

If you download, install, or access the Desktop or Tools, the following provisions apply to you.

 

License. The Desktop and Tools are licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms of the Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of and your ongoing compliance with the Agreement, including without limitation payment of the applicable fees (if any), ArtsXchange hereby grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download, install, and use the Desktop or Tools on equipment or compatible devices owned or controlled by you or your Consenting Users, and in each case solely for your personal, non-commercial use, or, if you are an entity rather than an individual, to allow your employees and contractors to use the Desktop for the sole benefit of you and your Consenting Users, if each of those employees or contractors has agreed to and is bound by the Agreement. “Consenting Users” means individuals who have authorized you to use the Desktop or Tools in connection with and install any related components on equipment or compatible devices that they own or control for the purposes of collecting Collected Data and who have agreed to be bound by the terms of the Agreement.

 

The scope of the license granted under the preceding paragraph does not include the right to use the Desktop or Tools in connection with, in any manner, the following types of information: (a) payment card information or any information governed under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard; (b) “nonpublic personal information” as the term is defined in 15 U.S.C. § 6809 or other information subject to any applicable financial privacy law; (c) protected health information, as the term is defined in 45 C.F.R. 160.103; (d) Social Security numbers; or (e) with regard to the processing of personal data subject to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, “sensitive” personal data. The foregoing data constitutes “Prohibited Data.”

 

Automatic Updates. The Desktop or Tools may communicate with ArtsXchange’ servers to check for available updates to the software, such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, missing plugins and new versions. During this process, the Desktop or Tools may send ArtsXchange a request for the latest version information. By installing the Desktop or Tools, you hereby agree to automatically request and receive updates from ArtsXchange’ servers.

 

Some personal firewall programs may be configured in such a way as to prevent the Desktop or Tools from receiving these updates. If the computer on which you install the Desktop or Tools is so configured, it may be necessary for you to make an exception entry in the configuration of the personal firewall program to allow the Desktop or Tools to successfully install and receive these updates.

 

Third Party Software. Parts of the Service include packages of components, including certain third party software provided under separate license terms, which can be found in the related documentation or will be provided to you by ArtsXchange on request. You are permitted to use that third party software in conjunction with the Desktop in a manner consistent with the terms of the Agreement, however, you may have broader rights under the applicable separate license terms and nothing in the Agreement is intended to impose further restrictions on your use of that third party software.

 

WEB-BASED OFFERING TERMS

If you subscribe to or access a Web-based Offering, the following provisions apply to you.

 

Grant of Right to Use Web-based Offering. Subject to the terms and conditions of and your ongoing compliance with the Agreement, including without limitation payment of any applicable fees, ArtsXchange hereby grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right during the period for which you have paid all applicable fees to permit each user for whom you have purchased a user subscription to access the applicable Web-based Offering solely for your internal business purposes. You must ensure that each of your users has agreed to and is bound by the Agreement.

 

INFORMATION PRACTICES

Open communication about our users’ privacy and how we use their information is very important to ArtsXchange. As a condition of downloading or using any part of the Service, you agree to the terms of the ArtsXchange Privacy Policy, which may be updated from time to time, as expressed in the most recent version that exists at the time of your use. The most current version of the ArtsXchange Privacy Policy may be found at www.ArtsXchange.org/privacy/. Information collected by ArtsXchange may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which ArtsXchange or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Service you consent to any transfer of that information outside of your country.

 

THE SERVICE MAY CONTAIN A FEATURE THAT IS USED TO AUTOMATICALLY TRANSMIT CERTAIN CONTENT AND INFORMATION COLLECTED VIA ONE OR MORE TOOLS TO SERVERS OPERATED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ArtsXchange, INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT EQUIPMENT ON WHICH THE TOOLS ARE INSTALLED AND THE SERVICE IS USED TO ANALYZE, OR THROUGH WHICH THE SERVICE IS OTHERWISE ACCESSED OR USED, AND THE SYSTEMS, PROGRAMS, OR CONTENT ON THAT EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING EQUIPMENT, SYSTEMS, AND PROGRAMS OF YOUR CONSENTING USERS (“Collected Data”). The technical processing and transmission of Collected Data through the Service may involve: (a) transmissions over various networks, including networks not owned by you or ArtsXchange and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, or products. You acknowledge and agree that ArtsXchange may use any Collected Data as provided in the ArtsXchange Privacy Policy.

 

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to permit ArtsXchange to engage in this processing of data relating to your use of the Service and Tools and that, where appropriate, you have provided notice to all of your Consenting Users and have obtained appropriate and valid consents from all Consenting Users regarding the collection, processing, and use of their data by you and by or on behalf of ArtsXchange.

 

Additionally, by using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any message or information you send to the Service may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission (for example, credit card information) is encrypted.

 

While ArtsXchange actively adheres to security best practices when handling sensitive data such as Personal Data, our users also need to follow common sense practices when using our Service.  As discussed above, users should not post sensitive data in our community or in any part of the Service that can be seen by others.

ArtsXchange DOES NOT PROMISE THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT, COMPONENT, OR FEATURE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE WILL PROVIDE SPECIFIC RESULTS. THE SERVICE IS DELIVERED ON AN “AS-IS” AND “AS-AVAILABLE” BASIS. ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED ON OR VIA THE SERVICE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ArtsXchange CANNOT ENSURE THAT ANY FILES OR OTHER DATA YOU DOWNLOAD FROM THE SERVICE WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR CONTAMINATION OR DESTRUCTIVE FEATURES. ArtsXchange, ITS LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

THIS LIMITATION OF REMEDY IS A PART OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU DOWNLOAD AND/OR USE THE SERVICE AND ALL THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OR THROUGH THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR OTHER DEVICES OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF THE SERVICE AND THAT THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE AND CONTENT. SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE AND JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

 

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ArtsXchange OR ANY THIRD PARTY WHO MAKES ITS SOFTWARE OR CONTENT AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OR THROUGH THE SERVICE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER USER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY USE OR MISUSE OF THE SERVICE OR THAT THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR CONTENT. NEITHER ArtsXchange NOR ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR CONTENT PROVIDER WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE (EVEN IF ArtsXchange AND/OR A THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR CONTENT PROVIDER HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES).

 

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY WHETHER THE DAMAGES ARISE FROM USE OR MISUSE OF AND RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE AND ALL THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OR THROUGH THE SERVICE, FROM INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE AND ALL THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OR THROUGH THE SERVICE, OR FROM THE INTERRUPTION, SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION OF THE SERVICE AND ALL THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE AND CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OR THROUGH THE SERVICE (INCLUDING THOSE DAMAGES INCURRED BY THIRD PARTIES), OR ANY RELIANCE BY YOU ON THE COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY ADVERTISING, OR AS A RESULT OF ANY RELATIONSHIP OR TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY ADVERTISER OR SPONSOR WHOSE ADVERTISING APPEARS ON THE SERVICES, THE DELETION OF, CORRUPTION OF, OR FAILURE TO STORE, ANY CONTENT AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS DATA MAINTAINED OR TRANSMITTED BY OR THROUGH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree that ArtsXchange is not responsible for any loss arising out of, or in any way connected with: (a) delay or inability to access or use the Service; (b) reliance on any Content or User Content; (c) the transmission of any computer virus, however occurring; (d) any unauthorized access to, modification of, or alteration of Content or User Content; (e) any Content or User Content sent or received or not sent or received; (f) any transaction entered into through the Service; (g) any infringement of rights, including Intellectual Property Rights; (h) any threatening, defamatory, obscene, offensive, harmful, inappropriate, or illegal Content or User Content or conduct of any party; (i) any User Content sent by any third party using and/or included in the Service; (j) termination of your user account or membership; or (k) any delays, interruptions, inaccuracies, errors, omissions, or cessation of the Service.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge that ArtsXchange is a provider of an interactive computer service and not a publisher under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, and therefore not responsible for any of the User Content or other third-party postings.

 

If, notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a court of competent jurisdiction holds ArtsXchange liable in respect of any matters arising under or incidental to the Agreement, ArtsXchange’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR USING THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING YOUR CLAIM, OR, IF NO AMOUNT WAS PAID, THAT LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO $500.

 

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING A FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

 

GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTES

The Agreement and any dispute that may arise related to the Agreement are governed by Texas law. All claims arising out of or relating to the Agreement must be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Travis County, Texas and you consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there for the purposes of litigating all claims related to the Agreement. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision or portion of the Agreement to be unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

 

MISCELLANEOUS

The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding that subject matter. Any waiver of any provision of the Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by ArtsXchange.
