UMEETING TERMS OF SERVICE

This agreement ("Agreement") is between Limu.com Limited ("Umeeting", "Us", "Our" or "We") and the user ("You", "User" or "Customer") of Umeeting's web conferencing services and any related products and services ("Service"). By activating the Service, You acknowledge that You have read and understood, and You agree, to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and You represent that You are of legal age to enter this Agreement and become bound by its terms.

Umeeting provides two types of Service accounts: a Pay-Per-Use account ("Pay-Per-Use Account") and a number of flat fee subscription accounts ("Subscription Accounts").

1. OUR SERVICE.
1.1 Term and Termination

No minimum contract term applies to both Pay-Per-Use and Subscription Accounts.

Pay-Per-Use Account Customers may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Us at any time. Unless terminated by either Customer or Us, this Agreement will automatically renew on a monthly basis for Pay-Per-Use Account Customers.

For Subscription Account Customers this Agreement automatically renews on a monthly basis without further action by Customer unless Customer gives Umeeting written notice of non-renewal of at least thirty days.

All amounts due from Customer at the time of giving written notice to Us must be paid in order for Customer to terminate this Agreement.

Umeeting reserves the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service generally, or to terminate Customer's Service, at any time in its sole discretion. If Umeeting discontinues providing the Service generally, or terminates Customer's Service in its discretion, Customer will only be responsible for charges accrued through the date of termination, including a pro-rated portion of any final month's charges in case of Subscription Account Customers.

Section 3 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement. All other rights and obligations of the parties shall cease upon termination of this Agreement. The term of any license granted hereunder shall expire upon expiration or termination of this Agreement.

1.2 Lawful Use of Service

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. This means that You agree not to use them for transmitting or receiving any illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, racially or ethnically disparaging remarks or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including but not limited to any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offence, give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law. Umeeting reserves the right to terminate Your Service immediately and without advance notice if We, in Our sole discretion, believe that You have violated the above restrictions. You are liable for any and all use of the Service by any person making use of the Service provided to You.

1.3 Copyright / Trademark / Unauthorized Usage

The Service and software used to provide the Service or provided to Customer in conjunction with providing the Service, and all Services, information, documents and materials on Umeeting's
website(s) are protected by trademark, copyright or other intellectual property laws and international treaty provisions. All websites, corporate names, service marks, trademarks, trade names, logos and domain names (collectively "marks") of Umeeting are and shall remain the exclusive property of Umeeting and nothing in this Agreement shall grant You the right to right or license to use such marks. You acknowledge that You are not given any license to use the software used to provide the Service or provided to Customer in conjunction with providing the Service, other than a non-transferable, revocable license to use such software (without making any modification thereto) strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that all software is exclusively for use in connection with the Service.

Customer and it's Users may not reverse engineer, reverse compile, reduce to human perceivable form, or disassemble any of the features, technology or components that make up the Service.

Other than using the Service for conferences or meetings in which Customer is an active participant, and as permitted under the terms and conditions of this Agreement or other written agreements between Customer and Umeeting, Customer and it's Users may not resell, distribute, make any commercial use of, use on a timeshare or service bureau basis, or use to operate a Web-site or otherwise generate income from the Service.

1.4 Support

Any and all Improvements of the Service developed by Umeeting which are made available to Customer during the term of this Agreement shall be licensed to Customer at no additional charge, other than payments specified herein. "Improvements" means any software patches, modifications, upgrades, improvements, extensions, including, without limitation, major, minor and maintenance releases, to or for the Service.

1.5 Service Level Guarantee

If Customer's chosen account option includes a Service Level Guarantee ("SLG") and is current (i.e., not past due) with Umeeting and if the Service Availability of the Service is less than 99.9%, Umeeting will issue a credit to Customer in accordance with the Service Level Agreement ("SLA").

2. BILLING / PAYMENTS / DEFAULT / TAXES.
2.1 Billing and Payments

If You have chosen to pay Service fees by credit or debit card, You must give us a valid credit card number and card billing address when the Service is activated. If the card expires, You close Your account or Your billing address changes, or the card is cancelled and replaced owing to loss or theft, You must advise Us at once. We will bill all charges monthly to Your card, including but not limited to: set-up fees, monthly Service fees and advanced feature charges. Subscription Account fees are billed one month in advance. Umeeting reserves the right to bill at more frequent intervals if the amount due at any time exceeds $100.

If You have chosen to pay Service fees by credit or debit card, Your initial use of the Service authorizes Umeeting to charge Your card on file with Umeeting, including any changed information given to Umeeting if the card expires or is replaced, for Service charges that accrue during the billing cycle. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after Umeeting receives Your written notice terminating Umeeting's authority to charge Your card. We may terminate Your Service at any time in Our sole discretion, if any charge to Your card on file with Umeeting is declined or reversed or in case of any other non-payment of account charges. Termination of Service for declined card, reversed charges or non-payment leaves You FULLY LIABLE to Umeeting for ALL CHARGES ACCRUED BEFORE TERMINATION and for charges incurred by Umeeting owing to Your non-payment, such as (but not limited to) collection costs and attorney's fees.

If You have chosen to pay by other means then by credit or debit card, such as by wire transfer or check, You will be responsible to cover all transaction costs involved in making such payments. If not paying by credit card, Subscription Accounts Customers will have to and continue to make full payment of all applicable Service fees monthly in advance. If not paying by credit or debit card, Pay-Per-Use account Customers will have to pre-fund their account, following which they will be entitled to use the Service until their pre-funded account balance has been depleted. It is Customer's sole responsibility to ensure that cleared funds will reach Us in time. If at any time Your Service fees have not been paid in advance, Umeeting reserves the right to suspend Your account until payment has been received.

2.2 Billing Disputes

You must notify Us in writing within 7 days after receiving Your card statement if You dispute any Umeeting charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be notified to the following address:

Such amounts are in addition to payment for the Service and will be billed to Your account. If Customer is exempt from payment of such taxes, it will provide Umeeting with an original government-issued certificate attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date Umeeting receives the Tax Exempt Document.

2.4 Money Back Guarantee

Umeeting offers a 7-day money back guarantee, only applicable to one Pay-Per-Use or Subscription Account per business or household. Under the terms of the money back guarantee, We will refund any fees charged to Customer since opening the Pay-Per-Use or Subscription Account.
