Helios hereby grants to User, for the Term (as defined below) of this Agreement, a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to access and use (and allow its Authorized Users, as defined below, to access and/or use) the Platform for User’s own personal use. This means User may download copies of posted Materials for personal, noncommercial use only, so long as User neither changes nor deletes any author attribution, trademark, legend or copyright notice contained thereon. When User downloads copyrighted Material, User does not obtain any ownership rights to that Material.
Helios, or its licensor(s), retain all rights, title and interest in and to the Platform, including all source code, object code, data, information, copyrights, trademarks, patents, inventions and trade secrets embodied therein, whether known or unknown, express or implied, including any derivatives or improvements thereof, and all other rights not expressly granted to User hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of any of Helios’ and/or its licensors’ rights under the intellectual property laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction or under any other federal, state, or foreign laws.
Except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, User may not make the Platform available in any form to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Helios. In connection with User’s use of and/or access to the Platform, User will not violate any applicable law, contract, intellectual property right or other third-party right or commit a tort, and User is solely responsible for its conduct while using the Platform. This includes, but is not limited to, User’s agreement not to: (a) engage in any harassing, threatening, intimidating, predatory or stalking conduct; (b) use or attempt to use another user’s account or information, share User’s log-in information, or otherwise allow any other person or entity to use its account, without authorization from that user and Helios; (c) impersonate or post on behalf of any person or entity it is not authorized to represent, or otherwise misrepresent its affiliation with a person or entity; (d) sell, resell or commercially use the Platform except where expressly permitted; (e) copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform or publicly display all or portions of the Platform, except as expressly permitted by Helios and/or its licensors; (f) modify the Platform, remove any proprietary rights notices or markings, or otherwise make any derivative works based upon the Platform; (g) use the Platform other than for its intended purpose; (h) use the Platform in any manner that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect or inhibit other users from fully enjoying the Platform or that could damage, disable, overburden or impair the functioning of the Platform in any manner; (i) use the Platform in any manner that, in Helios’ sole determination, circumvents the ordinary use or operation of the Platform (including any products and services that may be offered through such Platform), disrupts Helios’ pricing structure or ability to provide products, services or support to its customers, or directly competes with any Helios product or offering; (j) reverse engineer any aspect of the Platform or do anything that might discover source code or bypass or circumvent measures employed to prevent or limit access to any part of the Platform; or (k) use the Platform for any illegal or unauthorized purpose, or engage in, encourage or promote any activity that violates this Agreement.

Any Submission will be treated as not confidential or proprietary. Upon transmission of a Submission, User grants Helios a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such Submissions or any part thereof, subject to applicable laws and regulations, this Agreement, and our Privacy Notice.
5.2 User’s Submissions, including comments or other posts regarding content on the Platform must not: (a) violate any copyright, trademark rights, patent rights, rights in know-how, privacy or publicity rights, trade secret rights, confidentiality rights, contract rights, or other rights of any individual or legal entity; (b) be harmful, hateful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or libelous, sexually explicit, vulgar, lewd, or obscene, or is racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable or offense, inappropriate, or inflammatory; (c) be false, deceptive, or misleading; (d) contain information that could be used for identity theft purposes, such as social security numbers, credit card, bank account, or other financial information, driver’s license numbers, security codes, passwords, or other authentication methods; or (e) link to materials or other content, directly or indirectly, to which User does not have a right to link or that violates these restrictions.

With respect to any data or information that Helios provides to User in connection with User’s use of the Platform, (i) Helios is not responsible or liable if any such data or information is inaccurate or incomplete in any respect; (ii) Helios is not responsible or liable for any actions that User takes or does not take based on such data or information; (iii) User will use such data or information solely for the purposes set forth in this Agreement; (iv) such data or information is proprietary to Helios or its licensors, and User will not retransmit, display or otherwise disclose such data or information to third parties except as required by applicable law or regulation; and (v) User will use such data or information solely in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
7.1 Subscription
The subscription available to User for the access to and use of the Platform is as outlined on the Platform. Unless as otherwise selected by User on the Platform and/or as mutually agreed upon between the Parties in writing, the initial subscription term is twelve (12) months and shall automatically renew thereafter for successive twelve (12) month terms, unless and until terminated by User by giving thirty (30) days’ prior notice via User’s corresponding user management settings on the Platform.
7.2 Fees
In consideration of Helios’ provision of access to and use of the Platform to the User, User agrees to pay Helios the fees specified on the Platform (“Fees”). The Fees shall be subject to change or increase as set forth on the Platform. Helios only accepts the payment methods as indicated on the Platform. Subscriptions are subject to prior validation of User’s selected payment method, full payment of the corresponding fees and acceptance of User by Helios.
7.3 Miscellaneous Fees and Terms
Other than as set forth herein, Helios may specify additional types of fees and charges (such as one-time, recurring, usage, or fixed price) and when charges are assessed or begin in writing and subject to this Agreement. Use of the Materials and/or Platform for which the User pays must be made within the applicable subscription period and is not subject to refund or credit.
7.4 Taxes
The Fees do not include any direct or indirect local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including value-added, excise, use or withholding taxes (collectively, “Taxes”). User is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with this Agreement, the Platform, expressly excluding taxes on Helios’ net income. If Helios has an obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which User is responsible under this Section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and timely paid by User. If User is required by applicable law to deduct any taxes or to make a withholding from any amount payable under this Agreement then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the gross amount payable by User to Helios shall be increased so that, after any such deduction or withholding for taxes, Helios receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made, and User shall make timely payment of the amount withheld (before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon) to the relevant taxing authority.
User may access the Platform only through use of one or more passwords, security devices or other access methods as provided by Helios (collectively, “Access Methods”). A subscription permits the access to and/or use of the Platform by a limited number of User’s employees as indicated in the different subscription options on the Platform, and only by specific employees as selected and identified in the order process (“Authorized Users”). For the purposes of this Agreement, any references to “User”, “you” or “your” shall include your Authorized Users. User is solely responsible for ensuring that User’s Access Methods are known to and used by only its Authorized Users. User is responsible for all access and/or use of the Platform by Authorized Users and their compliance with this Agreement. Each Authorized User will be required to consent to the terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to their use and access to the Platform. User acknowledges that, in Helios’ discretion, Helios may deny access to the Platform to any user of User’s Access Methods. User will be (i) solely responsible for all acts or omissions of any person using the Platform through User’s Access Methods and (ii) without limitation of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, bound by the terms of any and all transactions executed and/or orders placed via the Platform using User’s Access Methods. All transmissions generated by use of User’s Access Methods will be deemed to be authorized by User and made by an Authorized User whether or not Helios acknowledges receipt of such transmission. If any of User’s Access Methods have been lost, stolen or compromised, User will promptly notify Helios. Upon receipt of this notice, such Access Methods will be cancelled or suspended as soon as is reasonably practicable, but User is responsible for any actions taken through the use of such Access Methods prior to such cancellation.
9.1 Term
This Agreement will continue in effect until the expiration and/or termination of the applicable subscription term, subject to the right of either Party to suspend, cancel or terminate this Agreement as provided herein (the “Term”). Unless stated otherwise herein, such termination will, however, not affect the applicability of the terms of this Agreement to any existing subscription that has not yet expired and this Agreement will remain in effect until the expiration of the said subscription.
9.2 Suspensions and Cancellations
Helios may cancel or suspend User and/or its Authorized User’s access and/or use to the Platform, any rights and licenses granted, or a subscription, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason. Helios will decide on a case-to-case basis, in good faith, at its sole discretion, if User is entitled to a refund, in whole or in part, in cases of any total or substantial cancellation or suspension for reasons not attributable to User.
9.3 Termination for Cause
A Party may, in its discretion, terminate this Agreement for cause (i) in the event the other Party commits a material breach of this Agreement, and such breach remains uncured thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice thereof from the non-breaching Party, or (ii) immediately in the event the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. The Parties hereby agree the notice required to be provided by the non-breaching Party under this Section, may be delivered to the breaching Party through the Platform, if available (e.g. User may provide such written notice via its user management settings on the Platform). Upon any termination of this Agreement for cause by User, Helios shall refund to User any prepaid but unused Fees (based on the number of whole months left in the then-current Term).
9.4 Effect of Termination
Upon any termination of this Agreement, (i) all licenses herein allowing User and its Authorized Users to access and use the Platform shall terminate automatically, unless as otherwise agreed to the Parties in writing; (ii) User shall immediately cease accessing or otherwise utilizing the such Platform; (iii) Helios shall be entitled to disable all applicable Access Methods used by User and its Authorized Users with respect to the Platform; (iv) the User shall be fully responsible for the return or destruction of all applicable Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) disclosed to it, including deletion of such Confidential Information from its servers; and (v) Helios shall delete applicable User Content then on its servers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that a copy of any deleted Confidential Information or User Content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time, or as an electronic "footprint" on an ongoing basis, but in either situation will not be generally available to the User, including those who previously had valid access to such Confidential Information or Content. Within thirty (30) days after the effective date any termination or expiration of this Agreement, User will, either download and/or remove from the Platform any User Content. After such thirty (30) day period, Helios shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any User Content to User.
10.1 User shall treat as confidential all information relating to or obtained from Helios during the term of this Agreement (i) that is marked as confidential or (ii) that User should reasonably know, by its nature or the manner of its disclosure, to be confidential (“Confidential Information”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Platform, and all data, information and other materials contained in or relating to the Platform, shall be considered Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include information that (a) User can demonstrate is independently developed by it without use of or reliance upon any Confidential Information of Helios; (b) User can demonstrate was lawfully received free of restriction from another source with the right to furnish such information, without restriction or subject to restrictions to which it has conformed; (c) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of the unauthorized direct or indirect acts and/or omissions of User or any of its Authorized Users; or (d) User can demonstrate was, at the time of disclosure, rightfully known to it free of restriction.
10.2 User shall not, and shall not permit any other persons to, (i) use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement, or (ii) divulge such Confidential Information, without Helios’ prior written consent, to anyone other than those officers, employees, third party service providers, agents and representatives (including Authorized Users) of User (collectively, “Representatives”) (a) who are subject to nondisclosure obligations at least as protective of such Confidential Information as the provisions set forth herein, and (b) to whom such disclosure is reasonably necessary to facilitate User’s authorized use of the Platform. User shall be responsible for a breach of this Section 10 by its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event disclosure of Confidential Information is mandated or requested by applicable laws or regulations, or by an order of a court or governmental agency or other authority, each of competent jurisdiction, then User, (x) if not so prohibited by a regulatory or other governmental authority or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall promptly notify Helios of such requirement and (y) if so requested by Helios, shall use good faith efforts, in consultation with Helios, to secure confidential treatment of the Confidential Information to be so disclosed.
Helios may provide information about or links to third-party products, services, activities or events, or Helios may allow third parties to make their content and information available on or through the Platform (collectively, “Third-Party Content”). Helios may provide Third-Party Content as a service to those interested in such content. User’s dealings or correspondence with third parties and its use of or interaction with any Third-Party Content are solely between User and the third party. Helios does not control or endorse any Third-Party Content, and makes no representations or warranties regarding, any Third-Party Content, including the accuracy, validity, timeliness, completeness, reliability, integrity, quality, legality, usefulness or safety of Third-Party Content. User’s access to and use of such Third-Party Content is at User’s own risk and may be subject to additional terms, conditions, guidelines, policies, or rule (including terms of service or privacy policies of the providers of such Third-Party Content). Under no circumstances will Helios be held responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage that is caused or alleged to have been caused to User (including its Authorized Users) in connection with its and/or its Authorized User’s use of, or reliance on, any Third Party Content.

NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, RELATING IN ANY MANNER TO THE PLATFORM OR THIS AGREEMENT, MAY BE BROUGHT BY USER MORE THAN TWELVE (12) MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 13 WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY OF THE HELIOS PARTIES FOR ANY MATTERS IN WHICH LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. ADDITIONALLY, SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THESE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO USER IN SUCH INSTANCES.
14.1 USER HEREBY AGREES TO RELEASE, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HELIOS, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND THE MEMBERS, PARTNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES OF HELIOS AND HELIOS’ SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITIES, ASSESSMENTS, LOSSES, COSTS OR DAMAGES, AS WELL AS THE EXPENSES OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATED THERETO (COLLECTIVELY, “LOSSES”), RESULTING FROM, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIM, PROCEEDING, SUIT OR CAUSE OF ACTION RELATING TO (I) USER’S USE OF AND/OR ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM, (II) USER’S VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS RELATED TO USE OF THE PLATFORM, (III) USER’S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY OF USER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, (IV) USER’S SUBMISSIONS, AND/OR (V) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LICENSED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BY HELIOS TO USER, THE MISAPPROPRIATION AND/OR INFRINGEMENT OF ANY RIGHTS OF ANOTHER PARTY.

The Indemnifying Party shall have sole control over such defense and all negotiations for the settlement and compromise of such Claim (but will keep the Indemnified Party apprised of the progress of the Claim); provided, that the Indemnifying Party may only settle or compromise a Claim with the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except that no such approval shall be required if the settlement or compromise (i) provides only for payment of money damages which are paid fully by the Indemnifying Party; (ii) does not include any admission of wrongdoing or guilt on the part of Indemnified Party; and (iii) includes a full release of Indemnified Party and its directors, officers, employees and agents from any further claims, lawsuits, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses that the third party bringing the Claim has, has had, or may thereafter have relating to the Claim in question. For so long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently conducting such defense, it shall not be liable for any attorney’s fees of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in a defense and settlement of any such Claim provided that, except if the last sentence of this Section 14.3 is applicable, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable hereunder for any settlement or compromise negotiated by the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to be so bound. If the Indemnified Party provides notice of a Claim in accordance with this Section and is not notified within ten (10) business days thereafter that the Indemnifying Party intends to defend the Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to defend such Claim, and settle or compromise such Claim, subject to the indemnification provided for herein, including for reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party.
