1.1 Blue Canvas Labs Inc. (“Blue Canvas”) provides services, content, software, and support packages via bluecanvas.io and related properties (collectively “Services”) to you (“Customer”) pursuant to these Terms of Service (this “Agreement”). By entering into a Services order form (or other ordering document, quote or the like) or Services-related agreement (each an “Order Form”) with Blue Canvas or Blue Canvas’ authorized reseller (“Reseller”) or otherwise registering for, accessing or using the Services, Customer unconditionally accepts and agrees to all of the terms of this Agreement. By entering into this agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, Customer represents that it has the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to the terms of this Agreement, and, accordingly, the terms “Customer” shall refer to such entity and its affiliates. If Customer does not have such authority, or Customer does not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, Customer may not use the Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Blue Canvas will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer (a) the Services in accordance with the terms and limitations of each Order Form and hereby grants Customer a non-exclusive right to access and use the Services during the Term (defined herein), and (b) reasonable support services, through electronic mail or another online mechanism, in accordance with Blue Canvas’ standard practice.
1.2 Blue Canvas reserves the right to change or modify portions of this Agreement at any time. If Blue Canvas does so, it will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date this Agreement was last revised. Blue Canvas will also notify Customer, either through the Services user interface, in an email notification or through other reasonable means. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after being posted, except that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons may become effective immediately. Customer’s continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the new Agreement.
1.3 From time to time, Customer may be invited to try certain services at no charge for a free trial or evaluation period or if such services are not generally available to customers (collectively, “Evaluation Services”). Evaluation Services will be designated as beta, pilot, evaluation, trial, limited release or the like. Evaluation Services are for Customer’s internal evaluation purposes only and not for production use, are not considered “Services” under this Agreement, are not supported, are provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, and may be subject to additional terms. Unless otherwise stated, any Evaluation Services trial period will expire sixty (60) days from the trial start date. Blue Canvas may discontinue Evaluation Services at any time in its sole discretion and may never make them generally available. Blue Canvas will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with any Evaluation Services.
2.1 Customer will only use the Services as expressly permitted herein and in the applicable Order Form and agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly: reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas, know-how or algorithms relevant to the Services or any software, documentation or data related to the Services (“Software”); modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Services or any Software (except to the extent expressly permitted by Blue Canvas or authorized within the Services); use the Services or any Software for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third; remove any proprietary notices or labels; or modify, adapt or hack the Services, or otherwise attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or its related systems or networks.

2.2 Customer represents, covenants, and warrants that Customer’s use of the Services as contemplated by this Agreement does not and will not violate any agreement or understanding Customer may have with third parties (including without limitation Customer’s agreement(s) with Salesforce.com, inc. or its affiliates and successors). Although Blue Canvas has no obligation to monitor Customer’s use of the Services, Blue Canvas may do so and may prohibit any use of the Services (or disable content or data) it believes may be (or alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing or any other term of this Agreement.
2.3 Customer shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment and ancillary services needed to connect to, access or otherwise use the Services, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, server, software, operating system, networking, web servers and the like (collectively, “Equipment”), and to ensure that the Equipment complies with the required specifications outlined in Blue Canvas’ published documentation. Customer shall also be responsible for maintaining the security of the Equipment, Customer account and passwords, and for all uses of Customer account or the Equipment with or without Customer’s knowledge or consent.
3.1 Each party (the “Receiving Party”) understands that the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) has disclosed or may disclose business, technical or financial information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business and technology (hereinafter referred to as “Proprietary Information” of the Disclosing Party). Proprietary Information of Blue Canvas includes, without limitation, all Software and other non-public information and documentation regarding features, functionality and performance of the Services.

3.2 As between the parties, Customer Content (as defined below) will be owned by Customer. Customer will be solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity and legality of Customer Content. Customer hereby grants to Blue Canvas a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use Customer Content solely to provide the Services to Customer. “Customer Content” means any information, data, or media content and other material provided or uploaded directly to Blue Canvas or the Services by Customer or Customer’s end-users in the course of receiving or using Services. Blue Canvas shall have the right to collect and analyze data and other information relating to the use and performance of various aspects of the Services and related systems and technologies and Blue Canvas may (i) use such information and data (during and after the term hereof) to improve and enhance the Services and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with the Services and other Blue Canvas offerings, and (ii) use and disclose such data solely in aggregate or de-identified form for marketing purposes and otherwise in connection with its business.
3.3 Blue Canvas shall own and retain all right, title and interest in and to (a) the Services and Software, and all improvements, enhancements or modifications thereto, (b) any software, applications, inventions or other technology developed in connection with Services or support, and (c) all intellectual property rights related to any of the foregoing. Further, Blue Canvas shall have the right to use Customer’s name in a factual manner for marketing or promotional purposes on Blue Canvas’ website and in other communication with existing or potential Blue Canvas customers.
4.1 Customer will pay Blue Canvas the then applicable fees for the Services as described in the relevant Order Form (or in the Services itself, as applicable) in accordance with the terms therein (the “Fees”). If Customer’s use of the Services exceeds any applicable limits set forth on the Order Form or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), Customer shall be billed for such usage and Customer agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. Blue Canvas, reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Term (defined herein) or then current renewal term, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). If Customer believes that Blue Canvas has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Blue Canvas no later than sixty (60) days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Blue Canvas’ customer support department.
4.2 Blue Canvas may also choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Blue Canvas thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Services. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Blue Canvas’ net income.
4.3 If Customer receives access to the Services through Blue Canvas’ Reseller, then references to Blue Canvas in this Section 4 shall refer to such Reseller.
5.1 Subject to earlier termination as provided below, this Agreement is for the term of services as specified in the Order Form (the “Initial Term”), and shall be automatically renewed for additional periods of the same duration as the Initial Term (collectively, the “Term”), unless either party requests termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
5.2 Customer may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon ten (10) days’ notice, provided that such notice is received by Blue Canvas (or its Reseller, as applicable) prior to the end of the third month of the Initial Term.
5.3 In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may also terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice (or without notice in the case of nonpayment), if the other party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement and such breach is not cured during the notice period. Blue Canvas may also reasonably suspend Customer’s and/or any users’ access to Services at any time in its reasonable discretion if it possesses a good faith belief that Customer’s use of the Services may be in violation of this Agreement or otherwise place Blue Canvas (or its customers or other interests) at risk of harm, damage, loss or liability.
5.4 Upon termination, Customer’s right to use the Services shall immediately terminate, all Fees then outstanding for the Services shall immediately become due and payable, and each party shall return to the other all Proprietary Information. For a period of sixty (60) days following termination or expiration of this Agreement, Blue Canvas shall permit Customer to retrieve copies of any Customer Data. All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, all rights to payment of Fees, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
6.1 Blue Canvas shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Blue Canvas or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond Blue Canvas’ reasonable control, but Blue Canvas shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. For breach of the express warranty set forth above, Customer's exclusive remedy shall be the re-performance of the deficient Services. If Blue Canvas cannot re-perform such deficient Services as warranted, Customer shall be entitled to recover a pro-rata portion of the fees paid to Blue Canvas for such deficient Services, and such refund shall be Blue Canvas’ entire liability and Customer’s sole remedy related thereto.

If Blue Canvas reasonably believes that all or any portion of the Services, or the use thereof, is likely to become the subject of any infringement claim, suit or proceeding, Blue Canvas may, at its option procure, at Blue Canvas’ expense, for Customer the right to continue using the Services in accordance with the terms hereof, replace or modify the allegedly infringing Service to make it non-infringing, or, in the event that neither of the foregoing options are commercially practicable, Blue Canvas may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Customer and refund to Customer any prepaid amounts for unused Services.
