Samepage has no liability of any kind as a result of the deletion of, correction of, destruction of, damage to, loss of or failure to store or encrypt any Content.

To the extent Content constitutes Personal Data, You and Samepage hereby agree that You shall be deemed to be the data controller and Samepage (or the relevant Samepage Party) shall be deemed to be the data processor as those terms are understood under the European Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of Personal Data and on the free movement of such data (“Directive,” and any applicable national legislation implementing the Directive).

Fees and Billing; No Refunds

Unless otherwise indicated on a Form referencing these Terms and subject to the other terms in this Section, all charges associated with Your access to and use of the Service (“Subscription Charges”) are due in full upon commencement of Your Subscription Term, or with respect to any additional services related to the Samepage Services and which We may offer during Your Subscription Term (“Additional Service(s)”), at the time such Additional Service is purchased, subscribed to or otherwise deployed. If You fail to pay Your Subscription Charges or charges for other services indicated on any Form referencing these Terms within five (5) business days of Our notice to You that payment is due or delinquent, or if You do not update payment information upon Our request, in addition to Our other remedies, We may suspend or terminate access to and use of such Service by You and Your Users.

If You choose to upgrade Your Service Plan or increase the number of User authorized to access and use the Service during Your Subscription Term (a “Subscription Upgrade”), any incremental Subscription Charges associated with such Subscription Upgrade will be prorated over the remaining period of Your then current Subscription Term, charged to Your Account and due and payable upon implementation of such Subscription Upgrade. In any future Subscription Term, Your Subscription Charges will reflect any such Subscription Upgrades.

No refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided to You if You elect to downgrade Your Service Plan. Downgrading Your Service Plan may cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Service as available to You under Your Account, and Samepage does not accept any liability for such loss.

Unless otherwise stated, Our charges do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying Taxes except those assessable against the Samepage Party based on its income. We will invoice You for such Taxes if We believe We have a legal obligation to do so and You agree to pay such Taxes if so invoiced.

If You pay by credit card or certain other payment instruments, the Service provides an interface for the Service account owner to change credit card information (e.g. upon card renewal). The account owner will receive a receipt upon each receipt of payment. You hereby authorize the Samepage payment agent to bill Your credit card or other payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the Service Plan for the Service and for periodic Subscription Charges applicable to Additional Services until You terminate Your subscription to the Service, and You further agree to pay any Subscription Charges so incurred. You agree to promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in Your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. Our payment agent uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain or use Your billing information except to process Your credit card information for the Payment Agent.

We may, at our sole discretion, choose to offer discounts through promotional campaigns, referrals or other promotions. Samepage reserves the right to offer such promotions at its sole discretion. Promotions have no monetary or cash value and can only be used by You to the extent offered as a discount off of Subscription Charges for the applicable Service. Promotions may only be applied to Subscription Charges due for the Service specifically identified by Samepage when offering such promotions, and such promotions can only be used by You and are non-transferable. Promotions can only be used during the time when they are still valid as indicated in the applicable promotional materials or by the Samepage representative who offers You such a promotion.

Suspension and/or Termination

Either party may elect to terminate Your subscription to the Service as of the end of Your then current Subscription Term by providing notice, in accordance with these Terms, on or prior to the date thirty (30) days preceding the end of such Subscription Term. Unless Your subscription to the Services is so terminated, Your subscription to the Service (including any and all Additional Services) will renew for a Subscription Term equivalent in length to the then expiring Subscription Term. Unless otherwise provided for in any Form or otherwise agreed to in writing between You and a Samepage representative, the Subscription Charges applicable to Your subscription to the Service for any such subsequent Subscription Term shall be Our standard Subscription Charges for the Service Plan and Additional Services to which You have subscribed or which you have deployed, as applicable, as of the time such subsequent Subscription Term commences. No refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided to You if You elect to terminate Your subscription to the Service or cancel Your Account prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term. Following the termination or cancellation of Your subscription to the Service and/or Account, We reserve the right to delete all Service Data in the normal course of operation. Service Data cannot be recovered once Your Account is cancelled. If You terminate Your subscription to the Service or cancel Your account prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term, or We effect such termination or cancellation pursuant to these Terms, in addition to other amounts You may owe Samepage, You must immediately pay any then unpaid Subscription Charges, if any, associated with the remainder of such Subscription Term. This amount will not be payable by You in the event You terminate Your subscription to the Service or cancel Your Account as a result of a material breach of these Terms by Samepage, provided that You provide advance notice of such breach to Samepage and afford Samepage not less than thirty (30) days to reasonably cure such breach. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Service (or any part thereof), Your account or Your and/or any User’s access and use the Services, and remove, disable and discard any Content if We believe that You or any of Your Users have violated these Terms. This includes the removal or disablement of Content in accordance with Our Copyright Infringement Notice and Takedown Policy available here. Unless legally prohibited from doing so, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to contact You directly via email to notify You when taking any of the foregoing actions. We shall not be liable to You, any User or any other third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuation of Your rights to access and use the Service.

We will have no liability or obligation under this Section with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (i) compliance with designs, data, instructions or specifications provided by You; (ii) modification of the Service by anyone other than Samepage; or (iii) the combination, operation or use of the Service with other hardware or software where the Service would not by itself be infringing. The provisions of this Section state the sole, exclusive and entire liability of Samepage and any Samepage Party to You and constitute Your sole remedy with respect to an IP Claim brought by reason of access to or use of the Service by You or any of Your Users.

Samepage Service Level Agreement (SLA)

As part of our commitment to provide you an outstanding experience in using Samepage, we will always do our best to provide the following service levels:

Service Level Guaranty

We guaranty that your Samepage service will be available 99.99% of the time in any given calendar month period (more specifically defined below as Monthly Uptime Percentage).

Credits

If we fail to meet the guaranty stated above, all our Samepage Pro Plan customers will be eligible for the Service Credit detailed below. Credits will be calculated as a percentage of the fees You’ve incurred during the month of Your billing cycle in which You experience Service Unavailability (to be applied at the beginning of your next billing cycle).

Montly Uptime Percentage Service Credit
99% - 99.9% 10%
95% - 99% 25%
Less than 95% 50%

Please note that the Service Credit stated above is Your sole and exclusive remedy for Service Unavailability.

This SLA does not apply to Service Unavailability:

  1. Caused by factors outside Samepage’s reasonable control;
  2. That resulted from Your or third party hardware or software;
  3. That resulted from actions or inactions of You or third parties, including, without limitation:
    1. Your breach of the Samepage Terms of Service (e.g., if Your account has a past due unpaid balance) and any related agreements or policies,
    2. Your failure to adhere to Service configuration requirements,
    3. Your use of non-supported platforms,
    4. Your misuse of Your Samepage account in any way (see Acceptable Use Policy)
  4. During Scheduled Downtime (of which we shall attempt to provide advanced notice of at least 48 hours); or
  5. During beta, trial services or other non-paid services.

Definitions, for purposes of this SLA:

“Service Unavailability” is defined as any period of time lasting 5 minutes or more in which at least 10% of Samepage users are unable to access Samepage for which they have appropriate permissions, except in cases where the SLA doesn’t apply as detailed above. The ability to access Samepage is determined by automated monitoring conducted by Samepage that attempts to render Samepage every minute supplemented by server logs. Downtime for all users is calculated by the sum of all minutes Samepage is inaccessible.

“Scheduled Downtime” is defined as: (i) Service Unavailability within pre-established maintenance windows; or (ii) Service Unavailability during hardware or software maintenance or upgrades scheduled by Samepage or requested by You.

“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by taking the total number of minutes in a calendar month minus the total number of minutes of Service Unavailability in that month, all divided by the total number of minutes in that calendar month.

Please note that we reserve the right to revise this SLA at any time without prior notice, although we will make reasonable efforts to provide prior notice via email.

This and other trademarks of Samepage (“Trademarks”) are valuable and important intellectual property assets of the company. Thousands of transactions are performed around the world every day by individuals and companies using Samepage’s products and services, and a uniform, proper use of our Trademarks by all our licensees is key to our ability to associate our Trademarks with the quality of our products and services.

WHAT IS A TRADEMARK?

A trademark is a word, name, logo, symbol, design or slogan (or a combination thereof) that identifies the goods or services of a specific person or company, and distinguishes them from the goods and services of others. A trademark helps its owner to assure consumers of the quality and unique attributes of such products and services, thus helping the promotion of those goods and services.

Samepage is the exclusive owner of its Trademarks, and we reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Guidelines. Particularly, all the goodwill derived from using our Trademarks shall inure solely to the benefit of Samepage.

If you are a licensed user of our Trademarks, please also refer to special trademark usage requirements that may be included in your license agreement. You must abide by such requirements in addition to complying with these Guidelines. If you have any questions about these Guidelines or our Trademarks, please contact us at legal@samepage.io.

You may use our Trademarks to accurately refer to or describe the Samepage products or services, as long as you observe these Guidelines and maintain a clear distinction between your products and services or the products and services of any third party, and Samepage’s products or services, and between your or any third party trademarks and our Trademarks. You may not mislead anyone to think that your products or services, or any third party’s products or services, are somehow offered, endorsed or sponsored by, or otherwise affiliated with Samepage or any of its subsidiaries.

SPECIFIC “DO” AND “DON’T DO” GUIDELINES:

Use our Trademarks with permission.

You may not use our Trademarks unless you have an agreement with Samepage or you otherwise receive our permission to use the Trademarks. Upon receiving our written permission, your use must be limited to these Guidelines, and the limited permission you have received to use specific Trademarks.

Include appropriate ® or ™ symbol.

A trademark that has been registered with a trademark office in the applicable jurisdiction is noted with a ®. A trademark that has not been registered with a trademark office is noted with a ™. Always include the appropriate trademark symbol (® or ™, as indicated near each of our Trademarks) next to any of our Trademarks in the most prominent place where you use such Trademarks in any document, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

Once marked, it is not necessary to mark subsequent appearances of the trademark in the work; however all headings, titles and subtitles in the work that references our Trademarks should contain the proper trademark symbol.

If the character set of your projects lacks special symbols and superscript characters, use the following substitute trademark notices. Note the capitalization and spacing:

(R) instead of ®

(TM) instead of ™

Provide appropriate trademark attribution.

Include an attribution statement when using any Samepage Trademarks. The statement should read: “All of Samepage’s trademarks used are trademarks or registered trademarks of Samepage Labs, Inc.”

Distinguish our Trademarks from your trademarks.

Do not place your company name, trademarks, service marks or product names immediately next to (or combined with) our Trademarks.

Do not use our Trademarks as the name of your company, products or as your domain name.

Do not use all or parts of our Trademarks in a manner that may imply sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement between Samepage and your company, products or services, or that may dilute the distinctive nature of our Trademarks.

Do not copy the look and feel of Samepage’s Trademarks, Website or product line.

Do not imitate our Trademarks, logos, logotypes, trade dress, or other elements of our product packaging and website in any of your advertising, product packaging, promotional or other materials.

As another example, do not name your product or service “samecloud,” “sameservice” or a similar name in marketing materials promoting your products or services.

Do not alter our Trademarks.

You may not change the appearance of our Trademarks by abbreviating them, incorporating them into acronyms, changing their spelling, using them in parts, changing their looks, or using improper capitalization.

Use our Trademarks only as Adjectives

Use our Trademarks as adjectives followed by the appropriate generic product noun describing the relevant product or service (e.g., “the Samepage® team collaboration platform rocks”). You may also use the Trademarks without a modifier but only when describing the underlying product’s properties (e.g., “Samepage® provides great sharing tools” but not “Samepage® works well”). NEVER USE OUR TRADEMARKS IN NOUN, VERB, PLURAL OR POSSESSIVE FORMS.

Do not bid on our Trademarks.

Unless expressly permitted in an agreement between you and Samepage, you may not bid on any Trademark or any variant or extension thereof as a key word on any Web-based search engine or other contextual advertising platform.

Do not attempt to register our marks.

You may not attempt to register any of our Trademarks. Similarly, you may not register in any jurisdiction a domain name that uses all or a part of our Trademarks in a manner that may create confusion as to Samepage’s sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of your company, products or services, or in an attempt to cyber squat on any of our trademark rights.

Do not use our Trademarks in a disparaging or degrading manner.

You may not use our Trademarks in a manner that causes disparagement to or misrepresents the nature of Samepage or its products, or otherwise diminishes the underlying brand value of our Trademarks.
