Terms and conditions

Effective as of November 13th, 2019. These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) govern access to and use of services provided by Work4 labs, inc. (“Work4,” “We” or “Us”) to the Company identified on the order form that has been accepted and signed by Work4 (the “Order Form”). The Company is referred to as “Customer,” “You” and “Your” throughout these terms.

1. Provision of Services by Seiza (Work4 Labs)

1.1. Services. Work4 will make available to Customer the services identified in an Order Form (the “Services”) during the Subscription Term identified in the Order Form. Customer agrees that its purchases under these Terms and each Order Form are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent on any oral or written comments made by Work4 regarding future functionality or features.

1.2. Provision of Services. Work4 will provide Customer with a list of information on the Order Form necessary to provision Customer’s access to the Services. Seiza will complete provisioning, setup and, if applicable, customization after receipt of the signed Order Form. If Customer has ordered customized implementation services, Customer shall pay amounts due for such services as set forth on the Order Form. If the Customer does not provide accurate or timely information specified on the Order Form, additional fees may be due in order to complete provisioning and set up in a timely manner.

1.3. Third-Party Sites, Products and Services. The Services may rely on or require that the Customer access or enable access to services made available by third parties, which may include online, Web-based application subscription services, and any associated offline products (collectively, “Third Party Offerings”). Customer represents that such access shall comply with the terms of service governing Third Party Offerings and is solely responsible for such compliance. Customer understands and agrees that the availability of the Service, or certain features and functions of the Service, are dependent on the corresponding availability of Third Party Offerings or specific features and functions of Third Party Offerings. Accordingly, Work4 will not be liable to Customer or any third party in the event that changes in Third Party Offerings cause the unavailability of the service or any feature or function of the Service.

1.4. Availability. Every effort is made to keep the website up and running smoothly. However, Work4 takes no responsibility for, and will not be liable for, the website being temporarily unavailable due to technical issues beyond our control.

1.5. Enhancements and New Features. Subsequent enhancements to the Services made generally-available to all subscribing customers without additional charge will be made available to Customer so long as Customer is in compliance with this Agreement. However, the availability of new features to the Seiza platform may require the payment of additional fees, and Work4 will determine at its sole discretion whether access to any other such new features will require an additional fee. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, these Terms will apply to any updates, upgrades and new offerings subsequently provided by Seiza to Customer as part of any purchased Services.

2.Use of Services

Customer is solely responsible for the content (including the accuracy) of such listings and information and for any other material (including but not limited to articles, images, advertisements, personal messages, and discussion posts) made available by Customer through the Services (collectively, “Customer Data”).
