IF A USER IS ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF OR AS AN AGENT, EMPLOYEE, OR REPRESENTATIVE OF A COMPANY OR LEGAL ENTITY, THE USER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT THE USER HAS THE RIGHT, POWER, AND AUTHORITY TO BIND THE COMPANY OR LEGAL ENTITY TO THESE TERMS. IF A USER DOES NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF THE USER DOES NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, SUCH USER MUST DECLINE AND MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES. THE SERVICES ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERSONS WHO ARE NOT LEGALLY ELIGIBLE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

1. Services

In these Terms, a “User” or “you” means any individual who accesses or uses the Services.

Sine offers workplace software on an “as is” software as a service basis together with various third-party hardware products. Subject to strict compliance with these Terms, Sine provides a User a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, limited license to access and use the Services for User’s internal business purposes only. If User orders Services through a quote, invoice, online enrollment page, or other order form (each an “Order Form”), the Order Form may contain additional terms and conditions regarding the particular Services that you are ordering, and such additional terms and conditions of the Order Form shall be incorporated into these Terms. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of an Order Form and these Terms, the Order Form shall take precedence.

2. Software Updates

Sine may, in its sole discretion, without prior notice, update or modify features or components of the Services (including adding new features and/ or functionality) which will then be subject to these Terms. Such updates may be provided via the Services which are downloaded and installed automatically, or which User may be required to upload and install. Updates must only be obtained from Sine, and User agrees to receive, and timely install, such updates. 

3. Accounts & Account Information

A. Sine Account Creation.
Upon User’s written request, Sine may open an account for a User. Once opened, such account will then be the sole responsibility of the User, and Sine is not responsible or liable for the account or any results of Sine’s compliance with directions provided by User in setting-up the account.

B. Eligibility and Account Information.
User affirms that User is at least 18 years of age, a natural person, and otherwise fully competent to enter into and comply with these Terms.  To access and use the Services, Users may be required to provide information about themselves, including, but not limited to, a full legal name, email address, and phone number (“Account Information”). All Users agree to provide accurate and complete Account Information, and to keep this information up-to-date. Sine may from time to time contact a User or Site to check or assess the accuracy of an account and/or Account Information. For purposes of these Terms, “Site” means any physical locations registered with Sine where Users may access the Services.

4. Cancellation of Accounts

Sine may, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, cancel or suspend a User’s account or refuse to provide Services to any User, and retain Fees previously paid by User, when applicable, if: (a) any User does not comply with these Terms (including failing to make any payment by a due date); (b) Sine receives a judicial, regulatory, or other governmental order or law enforcement request that expressly or by reasonable implication requires Sine to do so; (c) User’s continued use would subject Sine to third party liability or a security threat; (d) User’s continued use of the Services places Sine at risk of non-compliance with applicable laws or other legal or contractual obligations to which it is subject; or (e) Sine ceases making the Services generally available to third parties. 

User may only cancel User’s account through the Sine.co website and any Fees paid to Sine are non-refundable. If User elects to cancel User’s account, cancellation will not become effective unless and until all Fees owed to Sine in connection with User’s account are paid in full. Sine has no obligation to retain any content, information, Personal Data (as defined below), Account Information, or other data uploaded, transmitted, produced, or displayed by a User in using the Services or stored via the Services (collectively, “User Data”) following the cancellation of an account by the User or Sine, and Sine is not liable for any loss or damage following or resulting from termination of User’s account, including, but not limited to, the deletion of any User Data or any inability to access the same. It is solely the User’s responsibility to ensure that any User Data which a User requires following termination is backed-up or replicated before cancellation.

5. Fees

All fees for Services (“Fees”) are charged on a monthly or annual basis (as provided by Sine) with invoices payable at the time of order placement or on the date specified on the invoice, unless otherwise communicated by Sine in writing. Sine may, at its discretion, issue either: (i) a single invoice for all Services and Sites under these Terms, or (ii) multiple invoices for specific Services and/ or Sites under these Terms. Disputes as to invoices must be accompanied by detailed supporting information and are deemed waived if not raised within fourteen (14) calendar days following invoice date. Sine reserves the right to correct any inaccurate invoices.  Any corrected invoice must be paid by the original invoice payment due date or the issuance date of the corrected invoice, whichever is later. Unless otherwise agreed, Fees shall be paid by the team administrator and/or by the representative of the company entity utilizing the Services (collectively “Team Admin”). The Team Admin is an individual who activates a trial or has a fee-based account and: (i) is designated “Team Admin” or “Team Administrator” within the Services, (ii) can manage permissions and set workflow capabilities within the Services, and (iii) can establish other collaborator roles in the Services, such as team administrator, site administrator, front desk and security administrator, or reporting user.

All Fees are strictly non-refundable, including for partial months of Services as well as upgrades downgrades, unused, or cancelled Services.  All Fees payable by Team Admin shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, restriction, or condition and free and clear of any tax or other deductions or withholdings of any nature. Fees do not include applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, any applicable import, customs, or other duties or tariffs all of which are Team Admin’s responsibility (excluding taxes on Sine’s income) and payable in addition to the full Fees invoiced by Sine. If applicable to any purchase, Sine may invoice sales and related taxes (e.g. VAT) unless Team Admin provides a valid exemption certificate in advance.

Depending on the selected account and payment frequency, Team Admin may be required to pay Fees by providing a valid credit card number to Sine’s third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”).  By submitting credit card information to the Payment Processor, Team Admin authorizes and consents to the Payment Processor’s processing of Fees, and any other Personal Data provided to Payment Processor.  If Team Admin selects to pay Fees by credit card through Payment Processor, future invoices will be automatically charged to the credit card provided on the due date. To cancel auto-payments, please contact [email protected]. If Team Admin is paying by credit card, Team Admin shall provide the Payment Processor all relevant information regarding Team Admin’s credit card prior to the provision of the Services, and Team Admin represents and warrants that such credit card information is accurate, and that Team Admin is authorized to use such payment instrument.  In no event may Team Admin be deemed to satisfy an invoice through a payment by credit card, until the credit card has been charged and fully processed by Payment Processor and the Fees are received by Sine. Sine may, at its discretion, require payment in cleared funds for all hardware to be provided as part of the Services before dispatch.

If Team Admin is delinquent in payment to Sine, Sine may at its option: (a) cancel or suspend Team Admin’s account and/or refuse to provide Services to any User until the delinquent amounts and late charges, if any, are paid; (b) assess late charges on delinquent amounts at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, for each full or partial month; (c) recover all costs of collection, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees; (d) combine any of the above rights and remedies as may be permitted by applicable law. These remedies are in addition to those available at law or in equity.  Sine may re-evaluate Team Admin’s credit standing by conducting a credit check at any time and modify or withdraw Team Admin’s ability to pay by credit card.

If User requests or is required to upgrade User’s plan, or if User requests Sine provide the Services to any additional Site(s) or to provide any additional Services or functionality at an existing Site, Sine may do so (in its sole discretion) and the Fees for such upgraded plan, additional Sites, and/or additional Services shall be payable on a pro-rata basis for the remainder of the User’s current billing cycle and in full thereafter. Sine may, through Payment Processor, charge such additional Fees to a User’s credit card, if one is associated with User’s account. Sine may change its Fees at any time, in Sine’s sole discretion, by updating the Fees listed on its website and providing Users with fourteen (14) days prior notice. For an existing User, this change will become effective at the start of the User’s next billing cycle. Sine is not liable to Users or any third party for any change in its monthly and annual plan Fees. Sine has no obligation to provide Services for which User has not paid.

6. Term & Service Start

These Terms are effective on the date of a Commencement Event and shall remain in force until either Sine or User terminates User’s access to the Services, unless otherwise stated in an Order Form.

For all Team Admin accounts, the start date for Services is the date specified on the Order Form or, if no date is specified, the date the invoice for Services is issued by Sine (“Invoice Issuance Date”). Team Admins have immediate access to the Services as of the Invoice Issuance Date by creating or accessing their Sine account via the Sine.co website. If a Team Admin has paid Fees for Site setup, the Team Admin will receive an invite from Sine to complete a setup questionnaire on or before the Invoice Issuance Date. It is the Team Admin’s responsibility to complete the setup questionnaire. The Services’ start date will remain aligned to the date specified on the Order Form or the Invoice Issuance Date, as applicable, irrespective of the Team Admin’s failure or delay in completing the setup questionnaire.

7. Trials

If a User is carrying out any offered free trial of the Services, the free trial will begin on the day that the User’s account is opened and end 30 days later. As soon as the trial period expires, Sine may immediately terminate User’s access to the Services, unless User chooses to subscribe to the Services or open a non-trial account. An invoice will automatically become rendered for the Services on the expiry of the trial period for active Users. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sine may modify or terminate User’s right to use trial accounts at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion, without liability to User.

8. Integrations

The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with applications, software, or platforms (“Integration Services”) provided by a third party (“Integration Party”) via an application programming interface (“API”). User may engage an Integration Party to provide certain Integration Services. User agrees that its use of any Integration Services is subject to a separate agreement between User and the relevant Integration Party, and the Integration Services will be the responsibility of the Integration Party and not Sine. Sine does not warrant or support Integration Services and cannot guarantee their continued security, availability, or performance. Sine is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary loss or damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if Sine has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from (i) any change in, fault, interruption or any other issue with the Integration Services or the use of, or the inability to use, the Integration Services; or (ii) any change, fault, interruption or any other issue arising with the Services that is a result of, or contributed to by, the Integration Services or the integration. User must not modify or change any system settings that may alter the design, functionality, or network structure of the Services, including, but not limited to, any cloud server where Services are hosted. User’s use of Integration Services may enable the transfer of User Data to the Integration Services from the Services offered by Sine. User is solely responsible for any consequences resulting from User’s decision to utilize any Integration Services, including, but not limited to, any access to or use of User Data by the Integration Services. If Sine permits the Integration Party to integrate its Integration Services with Sine’s Services, User acknowledges and agrees that Sine may charge (and the User is liable for) additional Fees in connection with such integration (“Integration Fees”). Any Integration Fees shall be payable in accordance with Clause 5 (Fees), above. The Integration Party is not in any way an agent, employee, partner, or joint venturer of Sine and the Integration Party does not have authority to bind, or purport to bind, Sine or to act for or to incur any obligation or assume any responsibility or liability on behalf of Sine.

Sine will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain, support, and promptly address (during normal business hours) technical issues that arise in connection with the Services and make the Services available 99% of the time 24x7x365 subject to scheduled downtime, routine and emergency maintenance, and force majeure.

20. SMS & Data Usage

The Services allow notifications to be sent via SMS, email, and push notifications to the Sine mobile app. SMS can also be generated by individual messaging to a User. Team Admins are provided with sufficient SMS usage to fulfil the standard number of User notifications based on typical and bona fide account usage in good faith. Any excessive or malicious usage or usage deemed to be outside the ordinary course of business shall incur additional SMS costs or suspension of the Services.  Accurate emails or mobile numbers must be provided for the notifications to operate correctly.

21. Plan Types & Fair Usage

Sine provides plan types for each Site based on estimated average check-in volumes per day for all User types visiting the Site. If the average of the check-in volumes per day for a Site over any 30-day period exceeds such estimate, Sine may contact the Team Admin to require the Team Admin upgrade to a larger plan type for that Site. If the Team Admin does not accept this upgrade request, Sine may suspend or terminate the Services (in which case, any Fees paid in advance for the Services are non-refundable). In this Clause, the term “check-in includes any point-in-time record of a User’s visit to a Site, including records of a User’s access to and rejection from a Site, (a “Pass”) created for any User on the Sine system via web, tablet, API, or mobile device.

In operating User’s account, Users must: (i) maintain strict confidentiality of usernames, passwords, or other credentials; (ii) not sell, transfer, sublicense, or otherwise allow others to use their usernames, passwords, or other credentials or access their account; and (iii) immediately notify Sine of any unauthorized use or breach of security related to a User’s account. Sine will not be liable and User is solely responsible for any loss, damage, costs, or liabilities that may result from any failure by any User to keep User’s account, username, or password secure; however, Sine may use rights management features (e.g., lockout) to prevent unauthorized use of the Services.

Sine will use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect User Data and follow industry-standard security practices.

Each User will be responsible for any breaches of the confidentiality obligations by its affiliates, employees, or service providers.

No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder shall constitute a waiver of such right. Except as otherwise provided, remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a party at law or in equity. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, illegal, void, or contrary to law, such provision shall be modified and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.

25. Use of the Services for Regulatory Compliance

If a User uses, or attempts to use, the Services to comply with any law, regulation, government or regulatory authority policy, rule, decree, direction, or lawful request, and/ or similar obligation that may apply to the User (a “Compliance Obligation), such use is at User’s own risk and it is (and remains) User’s (and not Sine’s) responsibility to ascertain and comply with such Compliance Obligation(s), and Sine makes no warranty or representation as to any Compliance Obligation(s) or that the use of its Services by the Client will satisfy any Compliance Obligation(s). Sine has no responsibility or liability in connection with User’s use of the Services to comply with any Compliance Obligation or any other matters relating thereto.

Sine may amend or modify these Terms at any time. Sine will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Users of any material changes to these Terms.
