          NOTICE TO USER: PLEASE READ THIS TERMS OF USE (“TERMS OF USE”) CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING AND/OR USING THIS WEBSITE AND/OR THE PIRANI SERVICE (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SERVICE”) GOVERNED BY THIS TERMS OF USE. THIS TERMS OF USE IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN PIRANI CORP. (“PIRANI”, “OUR”, “US” OR “WE”), AND YOU, THE USER OF THE SERVICE (“USER”, “YOU” OR “YOUR”).
BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS TERMS OF USE AND PIRANI’S PRIVACY POLICY (“PRIVACY POLICY”) (WHICH IS HEREBY INCORPORATED INTO AND MADE A PART OF THIS TERMS OF USE BY THIS REFERENCE) AND THAT YOU ARE BOUND BY THIS TERMS OF USE.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE, AND YOU SHALL IMMEDIATELY CEASE ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICE.

1. ACCESS AND USE OF THE SERVICE.

a. Service Description.  The Service provides support for the integration activities and functions of corporate governance, risk management, internal control and compliance. This integration helps facilitate improvements in business objectives through automation of the main corporate governance processes, and is supported by best practices and international standards that help organizations comply with industry-standard frameworks such as: ISO 31000, COSO-ERM, Basel, AS/NZS 4360, Sarbanes-Oxley, ISO 27001, ISO 19600.

b. Limited Right to Access and Use.  Subject to this Terms of Use and the Service Agreement (“Service Agreement”) by and between Pirani and the contracted party, i.e., you or your employer (“Customer”), Pirani hereby grants you, and you hereby accept, a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, revocable, and limited right to electronically access and use the Service for the sole purpose of providing information to Pirani through the Pirani website (“Pirani Website”), which (if purchased and applicable) includes the dedicated URL of your employer. All communications to you and the Customer will be provided through the Pirani Website.

c. Term.  You may electronically access and use the Service for the limited purpose set forth in this Terms of Service until the earlier of the termination of (i) the Service Agreement; and (ii) your authorized right to access and use the Service pursuant to this Terms of Use. Upon any such termination, you shall automatically and immediately cease accessing and using the Service.

d. Suspension and Termination.  Pirani, in its sole discretion and at any time, may suspend and/or terminate your right to access and use the Service for your (i) breaching this Terms of Use; (ii) violating any applicable law, rule and/or regulation related, directly or indirectly, to the Service; or (iii) lack of use of the Service for prolonged periods of time.

e. Username and Password.  YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND USE OF YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD FOR ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICE. You shall immediately notify Pirani of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to or use of your username, password and/or the Service or any other actual or potential security breach involving the Service.

f. Monitoring.  Pirani reserves the right, but not the obligation, to monitor access to and use of the Service and use technological safeguards to protect the Service and access to and use of the Service.

2. SUBSCRIPTION PRICING AND PAYMENT.  The Service is offered by Pirani via different plans and modalities. Descriptions of our various plans, models and pricing are set forth on the PRICING PAGE of the Pirani Website. Pricing on the Pricing Page does not include any taxes. If  a tax applies to your subscription for the Service (“Subscription”), then such tax will be included on invoices provided to the Customer. Subscriptions may be paid by credit card or paid by any other means enabled by Pirani for a Subscription plan or model. The total price, payment method and other particular aspects of a Subscription will be set forth in the sales invoice issued by Pirani or otherwise agreed to in writing by Pirani and the Customer. Each invoice is governed by this Term of Use and any other agreement by and between Pirani and the Customer. The rates and Services are granted under an availability model and are not revocable. Pirani will not provide any refunds or credits for early termination of a Subscription. After the initial payment is made, Pirani will continue to invoice Customer for the Subscription according to the period selected by the Customer, per the rates then in effect, until the termination of the Subscription. Unless and until the Customer cancels a Subscription (either through notice or virtual mechanism), the Subscription will be automatically renewed for periods equivalent to those initially contracted. The Subscription will have an annual increase of five percent (5%) over the immediately prior effective period. If you default in the payment of any amount owed for a Subscription, then you shall pay Pirani default interest at the lesser of the maximum rate legally allowed by applicable law and one and a half percent (1.5%) per month. Pirani may, at Pirani’s sole discretion, suspend or cancel a Subscription for late payments of more than fifteen (15) days. As part of the Subscription, a reasonable data storage space cost is included for the Services, which is charged per Gigabyte. To the extent that the data stored by you exceeds the applicable Subscription data storage limit, Pirani will charge for the additional data storage space used. Free of charge trial Subscriptions are offered on a case-by-case basis for a limited time only. No charge trial Subscriptions limit the number of Users who may access and use the Service. Pirani reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel, discontinue, suspend or modify no charge trial Subscriptions upon notice to the Customer. For no charge trial Subscriptions, Pirani may permanently delete the Users and all of the data stored by the Service for such Customer if the Service is not accessed and/or used by the Customer during any ninety (90) day period. If Pirani decides to start charging for Services that were provided as a no charge trial, then Pirani will provide the Customer with thirty (30) days prior, written notice before doing so. At any time and from time-to-time, Pirani may modify the rates, plans and modalities of the Service; provided, however, any such changes will not be applied retroactively to the current Service.
