III. TERMS OF MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS SUBSCRIPTIONS
A. EXPLANATION OF SUBSCRIPTION TERMS. The following terms govern your Subscription and our provision of the Services under that Subscription:
1 . In this section of the Terms of Use, “you” means whoever is the party to the Subscription under which you are using the Services. If you are using the Services as an employee of a company, it means the company or you, depending on the context.
2. There is one set of Small Business Support Plans and one set of Enterprise Support Plans. The Support Plan you choose will determine the nature and extent of the Services we are obligated to provide and will provide to you or on your behalf to Onboarding Parties, as defined below, your clients, or other third parties who work with or for your clients (collectively, “Third-Party Clients”).
3.
To access the Services under your Subscription, you will need to create an account on the Media Diagnostiks Site through our Client Portal (a “
Client Account
”) and create login credentials by selecting a password and providing your name and an e-mail address. You are responsible for all usage or activity on your Client Account, including use of your Client Account by any third party authorized by you to use your login credentials. Any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity may be grounds for termination of your Client Account, at our sole discretion, and we may refer you to appropriate law-enforcement agencies.
4.
Your Subscription will run month to month. A “
Subscription Year
” is the twelve-month period from the start date of your Subscription (the “
Subscription Start Date
”), or the anniversary of that date. Your Subscription Start Date will be stated on your sales order and invoices, all of which will be accessible in your Client Account.
5.
There is a monthly fee for each Support Plan (the “
Monthly Subscription Fee
”).
Once you have provided us with a credit card, we will bill your Monthly Subscription Fee to that credit card automatically each month on the monthly anniversary of the Subscription Start Date day of each month, unless and until you cancel your Subscription through the “Close Subscription” button in your Client Account. The “Close Subscription” button is the only way to cancel your Subscription. You must cancel your Subscription in advance of the month during which you want the cancellation to take effect. If you cancel your Subscription after your credit card has been billed for the then-current month, we will not refund your Monthly Subscription Fee for that month.
6.
If you choose a Small Business Support Plan, which covers only a limited number of Systems, you will need to identify the Systems that you want your Subscription to cover (the “
Covered Systems
”) by providing their MAC addresses, and we will provide Services only for issues that involve the Covered Systems. We will track those Systems through their MAC addresses. Your Small Business Support Plan allows you to substitute a certain number of Covered Systems in any Subscription Year by “swapping out” the MAC addresses. If you “swap out” one MAC address for another, we will no longer provide Services with respect to the System that has been swapped out, unless and until, in the next Subscription Year, you “swap out” the System you “swapped in” and substitute the previous Covered System.
7.
Under each Support Plan, if you have or a Third-Party Client has a problem, you will submit a support ticket (a “
Ticket
”) through our Help Desk Ticket System that lists certain information, including the identification number of the System involved. We will respond and acknowledge that we have received your Ticket within the Response Time that applies to your Support Plan. (The Response Time is the time it takes us to acknowledge receipt of the Ticket, not the time it takes us to solve the problem that the Ticket describes.) A Ticket may only be submitted with the login credentials registered in your Client Account.
8.
You may send us a Ticket for a new matter that requires us to
“
Onboard
” a new Third-Party Client (the “
Onboarding Party
”) on on your behalf, which means to set up the Onboarding Party so that they can remotely access whichever System they need to access. With the information you provide, we will send the Onboarding Party a link that will enable us to remotely access the Onboarding Party’s CPU environment. (Media Diagnostiks does not provide any software or hardware for Onboarding.) Once we have accessed the Onboarding Party’s CPU environment, using RemotePC, we will work to enable the Onboarding Party to remotely access either your System or the other System with which they will be working. Once we have enabled the Onboarding Party to connect with that System, we will disconnect RemotePC, leaving the Onboarding Party to work directly with that System. You are responsible for ensuring that any Onboarding Party is authorized to connect to any System to which you ask us to connect them. Please note that Onboarding can be scheduled only for Monday-Friday between 9AM and 9PM EST/EDT. Each Onboarding appointment is up to one hour in duration, can be scheduled up to 30 (Thirty) days in advance, and can be canceled anytime without penalty up to the scheduled time.
9. Each Support Plan entitles you to a certain number of hours of Services per month in the aggregate (“Monthly Service Hours”), whether you use those Services on your own behalf or on behalf of one or more Third-Party Clients. Each Ticket will use a minimum of 15 (fifteen) minutes of your Monthly Service Hours, and any Ticket that comes in after 9 PM will use a minimum of 30 (thirty) minutes of your Monthly Service Hours. Each month, each time we respond to a Ticket and each time we Onboard a new Third-Party Client, we will track the hours that we spend working on that Ticket or Onboarding that Third-Party Client and we will subtract the final total number of hours from your Monthly Service Hours for that month. It is your responsibility, not ours, to keep track of the Monthly Service Hours that your Client Account uses each month and to make sure that neither any employee of yours nor any Third-Party Client is using up your Monthly Service Hours without your knowledge. If you exceed your Monthly Service Hours, we will notify you and give you five (5) business days in which to buy more Monthly Service Hours, during which we will continue to provide Services. If after five (5) business days, you have not responded to our notification or you have not purchased more Monthly Service Hours, we will stop providing Services and notify you that we have stopped, and we will not resume until you have bought more Monthly Service Hours
10. “24 x 7 Phone Support” and “24/7 Live Chat” refer to our ability to respond to a Ticket at any time by phone, chat or email. It does not mean that you or any Third-Party Client can initiate a call or chat with us at any time. The only way you or any Third-Party Client can initiate a request for Services is by your submitting a Ticket (or if you have authorized a Third-Party Client to submit a Ticket, by that person’s submitting a Ticket). Please note that Onboarding can only be scheduled Monday-Friday 9AM-9PM EST/EDT.
11. We will not use for our own benefit or disclose to any third party any information that we may access while performing Services.
B. WARRANTIES; INDEMNITY. You warrant that any Onboarding Party whom you ask us to connect to the System of any third party will be authorized to access that System. You will defend and indemnify Media Diagnostiks and hold Media Diagnostiks harmless from and against any claim that, if true, would represent a breach of this warranty. Each party will notify the other in writing promptly if it becomes aware of any such claim. Media Diagnostiks will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of such claim with counsel of its own choosing. You will keep Media Diagnostiks and/or its counsel apprised of the progress of your defense of the claim. You will not settle any such claim without Media Diagnostiks’ prior written approval.
C. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, THE SERVICES ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU AND YOUR THIRD-PARTY CLIENTS ON AN "AS IS" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WHILE WE TRY OUR BEST TO ENSURE THAT THE MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS SITE AND OUR CLIENT PORTAL ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE, THERE MAY BE DELAYS, OMISSIONS, OR INTERRUPTIONS IN THE OPERATION OF THE MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS SITE THAT CAUSE INTERRUPTIONS IN THE AVAILABILITY OF OUR CLIENT PORTAL TO YOU AND/OR THIRD-PARTY CLIENTS, AND, AS A RESULT, DELAYS IN OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND TO A TICKET OR PROVIDE SERVICES. IN ADDITION, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY VIRUSES OR OTHER MALWARE THAT MAY BE TRANSMITTED BETWEEN THE CPU ENVIRONMENT OF AN ONBOARDING PARTY OR ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTY CLIENT, AND YOUR CPU ENVIRONMENT AND/OR SYSTEM. In some jurisdictions, disclaimers of warranty are not permitted, so some of the foregoing limitations may not apply to you.
D. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS, ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ADVERTISERS, SUPPLIERS, CONTENT PROVIDERS AND LICENSORS ("MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS PARTIES") BE LIABLE (JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY) TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OR ANY THIRD-PARTY CLIENT’S USE OF THE MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS SERVICES FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOST REVENUES, OR LOST GOODWILL (COLLECTIVELY, THE "EXCLUDED DAMAGES"). THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON NEGLIGENCE, TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ANY OF THE MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN ANY OF THE EXCLUDED DAMAGES, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY FAILURE OF AN ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF A LIMITED REMEDY. IF ANY APPLICABLE AUTHORITY HOLDS ANY PORTION OF THIS SECTION TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS PARTIES' LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST POSSIBLE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THE SOLE AND ENTIRE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS TO YOU FOR ANY PROVEN LOSS, CLAIM, DAMAGE OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS AND ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS WILL CONSIST OF A DUTY TO REFUND NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU OR SUCH CLIENT TO MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS DURING THE CONTRACT YEAR PRECEDING SUCH LOSS, CLAIM, DAMAGE OR LIABILITY. In some jurisdictions, limitations of liability are not permitted, so some of the foregoing limitations may not apply to you.
IV. GENERAL TERMS
A. WAVIER OF CLASS ACTIONS. YOU AND MEDIA DIAGNOSTIKS AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, A FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. However, nothing in this Section limits your right or Media Diagnostiks’ right to bring a lawsuit against each other as an individual plaintiff.
B. GOVERNING LAW, JURTISDICTION, AND TIME LIMIT ON CLAIMS. You agree that (i) the Media Diagnostiks Site shall be deemed solely based in New York; and (ii) the Media Diagnostiks Site shall be deemed a passive site that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Media Diagnostiks, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than New York. If you have any dispute with Media Diagnostiks that is not barred by the Terms of Use, the dispute will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions in, and any dispute will be brought in, and you hereby submit to personal jurisdiction by and venue in, the state and federal courts located in Manhattan, New York City. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, you agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Media Diagnostiks Site, or our provision of any Services, or these Terms of Use must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or it will be forever barred.
