This Subscription Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Badger Maps, Inc, a Delaware corporation, having an office at 539 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94133 (“Provider”), and the individual or entity agreeing to these terms (“Customer” or “you”). This Agreement is executed by you clicking a box on an online order form referencing this Agreement (an “Order Form”) and may be amended by any written modifications laid out in that Order Form. This Agreement is effective on the start date indicated in your order form (the “Effective Date”). This is a legal agreement that governs your use and Provider’s supply of the Badger Map services, which services includes software, content and related electronic documentation and media (the “Services”), during the applicable subscription period.

You must read and accept the terms of this Agreement before you may access or use the Services. Provider is willing to supply the Services only on the condition that you accept all of the terms in this Agreement. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.

If you are acting on behalf of an entity, then you represent that you have the authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of that entity. If you do not accept these terms in their entirety, you are not authorized to access or use the Services.

1. SCOPE OF SUBSCRIPTION AND PAYMENT TERMS

1.1 Scope of Access. Access to the Services is made available on a per user basis. The number of authorized individual end users will be indicated on your Order Form (each submitted Order Form, an “Order“). You agree to pay the applicable monthly subscription fee associated with such number of authorized end users, as indicated on your Order Form.

1.2 Access to Services.  Following acceptance of your Order by Provider, Provider will provide a unique user ID for each authorized end user associated with Customer’s account. Customer agrees that each individual using the Services will have his or her own user ID and Customer will not share or allow its users to share user IDs nor will it allow any unauthorized individual or third party to use such IDs to access and use the Services under any circumstances. Customer is responsible for any and all activities engaged in using its users’ IDs. Customer agrees to immediately notify Provider of any unauthorized access or use of its account or user IDs, or any other breach of security known to Customer. Customer is responsible for its authorized end users’ compliance with the terms of this Agreement and each end user is required to agree to Provider’s terms of use (https://www.badgermapping.com/...). Provider may make commercially reasonable changes to the Services from time to time, so long as there is no material reduction in the functionality of the Services.

1.3 Term and Renewal. The term of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and will include a free trial that shall run for one month (the “Trial Period“). Unless terminated by Customer during such Trial Period, this Agreement will continue on a paid basis, following the Trial Period, for the period set forth in Customer’s Order Form. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, this Agreement will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or 12 months (whichever is shorter), unless either party gives the other party notice of its decision not to renew at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term or otherwise terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 8. For so long as Customer has paid or is paying the monthly subscription fee associated with the Services, Provider grants Customer the non-exclusive right to access and use the Services, subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and any other restrictions communicated by Provider in writing. All terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply during each renewal term, except for the subscription fee and number of end user accounts. Provider may amend its subscription fees for the Services at any time with 30 days’ prior written notice to Customer, provided that any increase in subscription fees shall not exceed 7%, year over year. . Customer will notify Provider of any changes to its number of authorized end users at least five days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

1.4 Payment Terms. Subscription fees are non-refundable and will be charged directly to the credit card submitted to Provider at the time of Customer’s order, unless otherwise agreed by Provider and Customer. If the credit card is not valid or payment is not to be made by credit card, Customer will receive an invoice from Provider. All subscription fees are due and payable within 30 days of the date of Provider’s invoice. Amounts invoiced are payable in full, without deduction for taxes or duties. Customer is responsible for all taxes and duties (including but not limited to sales, use and withholding taxes), except for taxes based on Provider’s net income. Customer will reimburse Provider for any taxes and duties that Provider pays with respect to Customer’s purchase of the Services.


1.5 Late Payments. Payments that are not made within 30 days of the invoice due date will be considered past due and a late payment charge of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less) may be added to Customer’s invoice. Customer agrees to pay all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Provider to collect any past due amounts. Provider reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the Services without notice if payment is past due, regardless of dollar amount.


1.6 Additional End User Accounts. Customer may increase the number of end user accounts at any time. For end users added mid-month, the first month for such end user accounts will be pro-rated, beginning on the date of the applicable order and ending on the expiration of the applicable month’s term, and will automatically renew in accordance with the terms of Section 1.3, unless terminated by either party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Provider will charge or invoice the Customer in accordance with Section 1.4 for any additional end user accounts purchased mid-term at the time such accounts are made available to Customer.
