Sheetlabs (hereinafter "Sheetlabs" "we" or "us") provides the website sheetlabs.com, our computing applications and the data, information, tools, updates and similar materials delivered or provided by Sheetlabs (collectively, the "Service"), subject to your agreement to and compliance with the conditions set forth in this Terms and Conditions Agreement (this "Agreement"). This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions governing your use of the Service. By using the Service or otherwise entering into this Agreement, you are creating a binding contract with Sheetlabs. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you may not use the Service.
We may make changes to these Terms of Service from time to time by posting such changes to the Terms of Service on our website. We will modify the effective date set forth at the top of the Terms of Services to indicate the date on which the modified Terms of Service take effect. By continuing to use the Service after the effective date, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms of Service.
As long as you are in compliance with the conditions of this Agreement and all incorporated documents, and as long as you have paid the fees identified by Sheetlabs, if any, Sheetlabs grants you a limited, revocable, non-assignable, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to receive the Service, and to access the materials thereon and the Service's functionality. No rights not explicitly listed are granted.
You must be of at least the minimum legal age to form a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this minimum age requirement. If you are registering for or using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that are authorized by your organization to enter into this Agreement.
The Service provided by us pursuant to this Agreement include Services we make available without charge ("Free Service") and Services for which we charge a fee ("Paid Service"). The Paid Service offers certain enhanced features, as described on our website. We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Free Service, the Paid Service, or any part thereof.
We reserve the right to charge a fee for a Free Service or to make a Paid Service available without charge at our sole discretion. In any such instance, no refund will be paid to you for fees paid prior to our reclassification of a Paid Service to a Free Service. We will notify you before we reclassify a Free Service into a Paid Service and provide you with an opportunity to cancel your Service with no additional cost. If you fail to cancel the Service and continue to use the Service following our notification of the reclassification of a Free Service into a Paid Service, you will be required to pay the associated fee for any such Service following such reclassification.
We provide a limited guarantee for our Paid Service that appropriately configured APIs in the Sheetlabs portal will be able to transmit information 100% of the time, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement. The Free Service is provided on an "as available" basis, meaning that we will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Free Service available.
In the event that Sheetlabs fails to provide this level of service with respect to your account, you will be eligible for credit of 5% of the fees paid to Sheetlabs for the month in which we fail to provide the stated level of service for every 0.05% of such month during which you are unable to transmit information, up to an aggregate of 50% of the monthly service billing.
