• 2 Users

Only authorized Users can access and use the Service. Each User should keep their login details confidential and not share them.

Alternatively, an Affiliate may create its own Order(s) with Atwork, creating a separate agreement between the Affiliate and Atwork, with the Affiliate considered the “Customer.” Neither you nor your Affiliates have rights under each other’s agreements with Atwork, and any breach or termination of one agreement does not affect the others.

Customer Content
Data Utilization

Customer provides Atwork with a non-exclusive, global right to utilize, store, transmit, display, and make modifications or derivative works of Customer Content, but solely as required to deliver the Service, Support, and any Technical Services to Customer as specified in this Agreement.
Data Security

Atwork implements reasonable technical and organizational measures, as detailed in the Security Policy, to safeguard the Service and Customer Content.

Customer Obligations

Customer assumes responsibility for its Customer Content, including content accuracy, and commits to complying with all applicable laws while using the Service. Customer guarantees that it has obtained all necessary rights, consents, and permissions for using its Customer Content with the Service. This includes granting Atwork the rights described in (Data Use) without violating any laws, third-party rights (including intellectual property, publicity, or privacy rights), or any relevant terms or privacy policies.

Prohibited Uses

Customer must refrain from using the Service for Prohibited Data or engaging in High Risk Activities. Customer acknowledges that the Service is not intended to fulfill legal obligations for these purposes, including HIPAA requirements. Atwork is not classified as a Business Associate under HIPAA. Regardless of any other provisions in this Agreement, Atwork holds no liability for Prohibited Data or the use of the Service for High Risk Activities.

Individual User Account Takeover

The Service may offer functionality allowing Customer to convert accounts previously registered by individuals using email addresses from Customer’s domain into User accounts under Customer’s control. Customer affirms that it possesses all required rights and consents to perform such conversions when necessary.

Service Suspension

​Atwork reserves the right to suspend access to the Service and associated services in specific situations. These may include breaches of Section Restrictions, or Section Customer Obligations. Suspension may also occur if the Customer’s account remains overdue for more than 10 days or if the actions of the Customer or a User jeopardize the security, availability, or integrity of the Service or pose risks to other customers. Whenever possible, Atwork will make reasonable efforts to provide prior notice of the suspension. Access will be promptly restored in accordance with this Agreement once the issue prompting suspension is resolved.

Third-Party Platform Integration

Customers have the option to integrate the Service with Third-Party Platforms. However, the use of Third-Party Platforms is subject to the Customer’s agreement with the respective provider and is not governed by this Agreement. Atwork exercises no control over Third-Party Platforms and bears no responsibility for them. This includes aspects like security, functionality, operation, availability, interoperability, and how these platforms or their providers handle Customer Content. Enabling a Third-Party Platform with the Service may involve Atwork accessing and exchanging Customer Content with the Third-Party Platform on the Customer’s behalf.

Technical Services

Technical Services are detailed in the relevant Order. To facilitate Technical Services, the Customer agrees to provide Atwork with timely access to necessary Customer Materials. Failure to do so will exempt Atwork from its obligation to provide Technical Services until access is granted. Atwork will use Customer Materials solely for the purpose of delivering Technical Services. Any deliverables resulting from Technical Services are related to the configuration or usage of the Service. 

Pricing and Taxes

Pricing details are outlined in each Order. The Customer will reimburse Atwork for approved travel and lodging expenses incurred in delivering Technical Services. Fees are invoiced according to the Order, while expenses eligible for reimbursement are invoiced after the fact. The Customer consents to Atwork charging their credit card or designated payment method for renewals, expenses, and any outstanding fees, as applicable. Payment method updates can be made through the Service’s user interface. Unless otherwise specified in the Order, all fees and expenses must be settled within 30 days of the billing date indicated in the relevant Order. Renewal Subscription Term fees will be based on Atwork’s prevailing rates, irrespective of any previous discounted pricing. Late payments will incur a service charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowable by law, whichever is less. he Customer is responsible for any applicable Taxes, such as sales, use, goods and services, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes or levies related to its Orders, whether domestic or foreign. These Taxes are solely the Customer’s responsibility, excluding Atwork’s income tax. Fees and expenses are quoted exclusive of Taxes.

Limited Assurance

Atwork provides the following warranties to the Customer:
(a) The Service will function substantially as described in the Documentation, and Atwork will not significantly reduce the overall functionality of the Service during a Subscription Term.
(b) Atwork will carry out any Technical Services in a professional and competent manner.

Warranty Resolution

In the event of a breach of Limited Assurance, and upon Customer’s reasonably detailed warranty claim made within 30 days of discovering the issue, Atwork will make reasonable efforts to rectify the non-conformity. If Atwork cannot do so within 60 days of Customer’s warranty claim, either party may terminate the relevant Order related to the non-conforming Service or Technical Services. At that point, Atwork will refund the Customer any pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term or for the non-conforming Technical Services. These procedures constitute the Customer’s sole recourse and Atwork’s complete liability for breaching the warranties outlined. These warranties do not apply to (a) issues arising from misuse or unauthorized modifications, (b) issues within or caused by Third-Party Platforms or other third-party systems, or (c) Trials, Betas, or other free or evaluation usage.

Disclaimers

Apart from what is explicitly stated in Section the Service, Support, Technical Services, and all related Atwork services are provided “AS IS.” Atwork and its suppliers make no other warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or noninfringement. Without limiting its explicit commitments in Section Support, Atwork does not guarantee that Customer’s use of the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the Service will meet Customer’s requirements, function in conjunction with third-party services used by the Customer, or maintain Customer Content without loss. Atwork is not responsible for delays, failures, or issues inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications or other systems beyond Atwork’s control. The Customer may have additional statutory rights, but any statutorily mandated warranties will be limited to the shortest legally permissible period.

Indemnification
Indemnification by Atwork

Confidentiality
Definition

“Confidential Information” refers to information disclosed under this Agreement that is designated as proprietary or confidential by the disclosing party or that should be reasonably understood as confidential due to its nature and circumstances. Atwork’s Confidential Information includes the terms of this Agreement and any technical or performance data about the Service. Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Content.

Obligations

As the receiving party, both parties agree to:
(a) Keep Confidential Information confidential and not disclose it to third parties except as permitted in this Agreement, including Section 4.1 (Data Use).
(b) Use Confidential Information solely for fulfilling their obligations and exercising their rights under this Agreement.
The receiving party may share Confidential Information with its employees, agents, contractors, and representatives with a legitimate need to know, provided they are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section 15.

Exclusions

Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that the receiving party can document:
(a) Is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party.
(b) It knew or possessed rightfully before receiving it under this Agreement.
(c) It received from a third party without violating confidentiality obligations.
(d) It independently developed without using the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

Remedies
Unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone are insufficient. Either party may seek appropriate equitable relief, in addition to other available remedies, for breach or threatened breach of this Section.

Required Disclosures
Nothing in this Agreement prevents either party from making disclosures, including of Customer Content and other Confidential Information, if required by Law, subpoena, or court order, provided that, if permitted by Law, the other party is notified in advance, and cooperation is provided in seeking confidential treatment.

Trials and Betas
If Customer gains access to the Service or specific Service features on a complimentary or trial basis, or as part of an alpha, beta, or early access program (“Trials and Betas”), such access is solely for Customer’s internal evaluation during the duration specified by Atwork. Participation in Trials and Betas is optional, and either party may terminate them at any time for any reason.
Trials and Betas may not function correctly, may be incomplete, or include features that Atwork may never release. Information about their features and performance is considered Atwork’s Confidential Information.

Publicity

Neither party may publicly disclose this Agreement without the other party’s prior consent, except as required by law. Atwork may mention Customer and its trademarks in Atwork’s customer lists and promotional materials but will stop upon written request from Customer.

Modifications to Agreement
Atwork may update this Agreement, including changes to Service pricing and plans, by notifying Customer via email or within the Service. Unless Atwork specifies a shorter period (e.g., due to legal changes or urgent circumstances), modifications take effect upon the renewal of Customer’s current Subscription Term or the creation of a new Order.
If Atwork specifies that modifications will apply before Customer’s next renewal or Order, and Customer objects within 30 days of the notice, Atwork will either: (a) allow Customer to continue under the existing Agreement until the current Subscription Term ends (after which the modified Agreement applies) or (b) permit Customer to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of any pre-paid Service fees for the terminated part of the current Subscription Term.
To keep using the Service, Customer may need to accept or agree to the modified Agreement. Regardless, using the Service after the updated Agreement takes effect means Customer accepts the changes.

General Terms

Assignment

Any unauthorized assignment is null and void. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties and their authorized successors and assigns.
