INSPIREHUB CLIENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last updated: December 18, 2020

IHUBAPP LICENSE AGREEMENT

PART 1 UNDERSTANDING THIS AGREEMENT IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

Welcome to the IHUBApp! We are excited that you are about to build a digital experience using the IHUBApp Digital Experience Platform. To help better serve you, this IHUBApp License Agreement is divided into two parts. Part 1, highlights what you are purchasing and explains how we do business with different parties. Part 2, details the legal terms governing your use of the IHUBApp. This first part does not explain everything in detail, so it is important you carefully read the entire agreement. However, it will help you understand key aspects of the IHUBApp, including: 

  1. 1. purchasing a license for the IHUBApp
  2. 2. understanding why the pricing and terms of the IHUBApp license can change;
  3. 3. your responsibilities in securing your IHUBApp Digital Experience; and 
  4. 4. your responsibilities for user privacy and data protection

1. PURCHASING A LICENSE FOR THE IHUBAPP

There are two ways the IHUBApp is purchased by clients and there are certain restrictions depending on how you purchase this license.

  1. a. Full Service Subscription
  2. A Full Service Subscription can only be purchased directly from InspireHUB, and includes full customer support coverage. The reason for this is simple: The IHUBApp is easy to use, its extensive functionality means we want to ensure our direct clients can create and build things on our platform, knowing we will be there to help build and launch the best experience. Our extensive customer support coverage is provided exclusively to direct clients meaning, the license costs you are paying are higher. We also require a minimum two-year term subscription term. You are able to pay out the contract in month-to-month installments, but if you should you wish to cancel for any reason you will be required to pay out the remaining contract term in full.

  3. b. InspireHUB Verified Agency
  4. If you are an InspireHUB Verified Agency, as a Verified Agent, you can purchase “Limited Service Subscriptions” for each individual digital experience that you are building for your clients. As you are taking on all the work and in servicing your clients (including building their experience and fielding any questions) we only have a six month term restriction. As you fill out your purchase order, you will need to indicate the number of months that you are purchasing the single-use license for in advance. If you decide to cancel a license early, you will need to provide us at least 60 days notice. Due to privacy laws, you are not allowed to transfer any license between clients (and digital experiences) without appropriate consent and legal agreements indicating that both parties understand the implications of doing this to their data.

  1. 2. UNDERSTANDING WHY THE PRICING AND TERMS OF THE IHUBAPP LICENSE CAN CHANGE

At InspireHUB, we understand that you are building really important digital experiences that can be mission critical while you are carefully budgeting for future success. We make every effort to be a business of integrity and to be sensitive to this. 

Our happy and satisfied customers are testament to our commitment to ensuring our prices remain sustainable for our clients. That being said, it is important to understand that you are purchasing a subscription service and that rises in our costs may mean we have to make the difficult decision to increase our prices. For example, a large portion of our pricing is around helping you host and secure your data within your digital experiences. We do this through third parties such as Microsoft Azure and others. If for some reason, the price we are charged increases, this will have an impact on our pricing for our customers.

Additionally, creating a digital platform is a fluid experience. Every year, software companies like InspireHUB must react to the changing technology landscape around them which can include computer languages being retired and new technologies being launched. It’s our job at InspireHUB to stay on top of all this and we do our very best to navigate a constantly changing environment in the tech world for our Clients. All of these variables mean we must reserve the right to change our pricing and our terms at any time.

  1. 3. SECURING YOUR IHUBAPP DIGITAL EXPERIENCE

The IHUBApp Digital Experience Platform is a closed-circuit system that only allows verified developers to work on our platform in very specific ways. This alone makes it more secure than any open-source platform. InspireHUB has contracted with Cyber.SC to help us manage data security from an InspireHUB business perspective and also from the IHUBApp product perspective. We cannot possibly know all the different digital experiences that people may want to build on top of our platform, so while we do everything possible to ensure that what you do stays private and secure, we cannot take responsibility for what you, or your developers or users may do with the IHUBApp Digital Experience Platform. 

Your data (which does belong solely to you through this license) is only as secure as the efforts you put around what you build, how much effort you put into educating your users on how to be digitally safe (like using strong passwords and being aware of where and how they access content), and the types of controls that your organization has put in place to access anything you create. 

 We are really committed to helping our clients in this area and that is why our partner Cyber.SC offers a FREE 90-day eLearning course to all InspireHUB clients along with a number of other resources to you. Additionally, they offer discounted rates to all InspireHUB clients. We highly recommend that you engage with the FREE services that are offered so that you and your team understand all the implications of keeping what you build secure. 

  1. 4. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR USER PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION 

The content and communication possibilities of the IHUBApp Digital Experience Platform are only as limited as your imagination. These possibilities come with the responsibility of respecting the privacy and personal data rights of the users and individuals whose personal information is used in or posted on the IHUBApp Digital Experience Platform.

We are always working to ensure the IHUBApp Digital Experience Platform facilitates compliance, ensuring content and communications meet privacy and data protection requirements remains entirely your responsibility. However, privacy and data protection are so important to us here at InspireHUB that if we become aware of any non-compliance, we reserve the right to remove the digital experience you have built to avoid harm to the users or individuals affected. This includes using the IHUBApp Digital Experience Platform for storing or processing medical or financial records in a way that is insecure or unlawful.

We have no control over, and do not take any responsibility for, your use of personal information residing on your IHUBApp Digital Experience. Your use of that personal information (for example, to provide to third parties for commercial purposes) is entirely your responsibility and you are not permitted to represent it is the responsibility of InspireHUB.

If you need assistance in ensuring the compliant use of personal information in your IHUBApp Digital Experience, our privacy and data protection partner, Impact Privacy, can provide you with professional support and assistance.
