HandyMetrics End User License Agreement v1.0
Effective Date: July 1, 2018
Agreement Basics
This is the End User License Agreement (“EULA”) between you and HandyMetrics Corporation, its affiliates and licensors (collectively “HandyMetrics”). HandyMetrics’ Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are incorporated by reference into this EULA.
The latest copy of HandyMetrics’ Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are available here: https://qipaudit.com/tos, link to https://qipaudit.com/privacy
“You” or “you” means the individual who downloads, installs, accesses, publishes to, or uses the App (and, if you represent a legal entity, it also means that entity, and you represent and warrant that you are authorized to enter into this agreement for that entity).
HandyMetrics is the owner and/or licensor of an application called “QIPAudit” (the “App”). For purposes of this EULA, HandyMetrics’ “App” consists of: HandyMetrics’ website, a mobile application, including software, code, text, graphics, logos, designs, layouts, interfaces, and other items included in or associated with the application; and any updates, supplements, and the product of any support or other services provided by HandyMetrics in respect of the App, all of which are deemed included within the App upon delivery to you. The App may be delivered to you electronically, directly or through a third party. The App may enable your access to one or more websites, other applications, databases, Templates, or other products and services offered by HandyMetrics or accessible through HandyMetrics’ systems (“Services”) and access to Templates, text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, audio, video, audiovisual combinations, interactive features and other materials you may view on, access through, or contribute to the Services (“Content”).
The main purpose of the App is to enable end users (who we call “Auditors”) to capture data using templates (“Templates”). Templates can be downloaded by licensed Auditors from our site’s ‘store’. Templates are created and posted to our site by “Publishers”. Publishers may include HandyMetrics and third parties. Publishers control authorization and access to individual Templates they post. Publishers can post Templates as “public” (any licensed Auditor can access them) or “semi-private” (anyone can see they exist, but only authorized individuals can see or access the contents) or “private” (only authorized individuals can see they exist, see or access the contents). Publishers can authorize Organizations to use and to sub-license Templates and other Content to Auditors and can authorize individual freelance Auditors.
Auditors may be associated with one or more organizations that use or support the App (“Organizations”), or freelance. Licensed freelance Auditors have access to data posted as publicly available without further restriction (unless otherwise noted), to public Templates, and to such other information as may be agreed by acceptance of supplemental terms and conditions of HandyMetrics, a Publisher, or an owner of particular data. Organizations can designate persons as organization Auditors, with the right to access and use data of that organization and to access and use Templates published by that Organization or licensed to that Organization by a Publisher on these terms and conditions plus such further terms and conditions as that Organization may impose from time to time in its discretion.
This EULA states the terms and conditions on which HandyMetrics grants, and you accept a limited, non-exclusive license to install and use the App on one or more devices or mobile devices owned by you or under your legitimate control, to engage in non-commercial use of the App, and upon which HandyMetrics may make available access to Services and Content. By installing or using the App, you accept all of the terms and conditions of this EULA.
Upon acceptance, these terms and conditions are enforceable against you and any entity that obtained the App and on whose behalf it is used. All rights to use the App are forfeited if you fail to comply with the terms of this EULA.
HandyMetrics, any Publisher, and any Organization may change its terms at any time without prior notice. The revised terms will become effective upon the earlier of posting to any of the App, website, or otherwise provisioned to the licensee. Any use of the App after such date shall constitute your acceptance of such revised terms. If any change to these terms is not acceptable to you, your sole remedy is to cease accessing, browsing and otherwise using the App.
There may be additional terms that HandyMetrics presents to you from time to time, for example, at the time of a download (“Additional Terms”). In the event of a conflict between this EULA and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control, unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.
HandyMetrics may suspend or discontinue offering the App; modify the App; change or discontinue the Services available through the App; change how it offers and operates such Services (e.g., to begin charging a fee to access features, services, or Content that had previously been made available without charge); remove Content; alter Content; impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to part or all of the App, Services and Content; or make other changes in product and service offerings at its sole discretion and with or without notice to you. HandyMetrics will not be liable to you or any third party for taking any of these actions.
You further acknowledge and agree that even if a copy of the App continues to reside on your device after HandyMetrics makes changes in its product or services offerings, the App may not work as it did prior to such action, and HandyMetrics will have no liability to you or any third party as a result.
Your license is not transferable without prior written notice to and the express consent of HandyMetrics, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
You acknowledge that Templates you upload to the Services may be posted to or hosted at HandyMetrics’ sites, and will be accessible to Auditors as public, semi-public, or private, with the authorization and access controls you have expressed.
Content
HandyMetrics’ Services are intended to enable Publishers to post Templates to the Services and to allow licensed Auditors to access Templates through the use of the App, and to allow Auditors to obtain reports from Content supplied to the App.
By using the App or the Services to post Templates or access Templates, you agree to HandyMetrics’ Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
If you are a Publisher, you are solely responsible for your own Templates and the consequences of submitting and publishing your Templates on the Services; and you represent and warrant that you own or have sufficient rights to post such Templates for their use on the App, and to grant authorization and access to those Templates.
The HandyMetrics Terms of Service contain your grant of rights and licenses to HandyMetrics, and its service providers, and other users of the Services to your Content and your obligations to HandyMetrics and to the HandyMetrics community. You will not submit to the Services any Templates or other material that is contrary to HandyMetrics’ Terms of Service, or contrary to applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations.
Permissions
By using the App you agree HandyMetrics may offer access to its, your, and third party Templates, and may use the App to deliver to you its Content, your Content, third party Content, push notifications, text messages, MMS messages, advertising and other electronic commercial messages based on parameters determined by HandyMetrics. You may discontinue receipt of push messages in your device’s or the App’s settings or by deleting the App, as applicable.
Your uploaded Templates are subject to the following additional provisions:
1. If a Template has been accessed by one or more Auditors as a public Template, you agree that Template shall remain accessible in perpetuity as a public Template.
2. If a Template has been posted as semi-private or private, you agree that Template shall remain accessible to Auditors or classes of Auditors you have designated in accordance with the terms of your grant of access to those end users which supplement our Terms of Service.
Each Publisher agrees that any Template may be customized by it or third parties. Any person authorized to access a particular Template may add one or more customizations to a Template or another customizations. Each such customization shall be subject to the permissions and restrictions on permissions granted by the initial Publisher of the Template, plus such further restrictive view and access provisions as the Publisher of each overlay may impose.
You acknowledge that the App may check for updates to the App that may be available to you, and may deliver those updates to you electronically.
HandyMetrics will collect and will be entitled to use your data, including without limitation, registration and user registration data, telemetry data (e.g., operating system, number of processors, graphic chipset, memory, device type, locale, time), and error reporting data in order to improve the App, the Services, and HandyMetrics software, products and services generally, and or any other commercial purposes elected by HandyMetrics.
When you use the App, you may connect to HandyMetrics’ or its suppliers’ or vendors’ servers. Your communications are governed by HandyMetrics’ Privacy Policy. You consent to HandyMetrics’ use of data that you provide or that HandyMetrics may collect about you through the App, in compliance with the Privacy Policy.
