PART 1 UNDERSTANDING THIS AGREEMENT IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

Welcome to IHUBApp (powered by InspireHUB)! We are excited that you are about to build a digital experience using the IHUBApp Platform ("IHUBApp"). To help better serve you, this 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 Platform.

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 our platform and its products, including:

  1. 1. obtaining a license to use IHUBApp;
  2. 2. understanding why the pricing and terms of an IHUBApp license can change;
  3. 3. your responsibilities in securing your IHUBApp;
  4. 4. your responsibilities for user privacy and data protection; and
  5. 5. understanding where data is stored.

1. OBTAINING A LICENSE WITH INSPIREHUB
The IHUBApp offers the opportunity to build next-gen apps and digital experiences.

a. IHUBAPP LICENSING
There are two ways that licenses are purchased by clients and there are certain restrictions depending on how you purchase this license.

  1. i.  Direct IHUBApp Licenses from InspireHUB
  2. Pricing and terms are dependent upon the specific license that you are purchasing and are detailed in the description with your online checkout. Certain promotions and offers are only available through InspireHUB’s verified affiliates and partners. Should a customer inquire about an offer that belongs to an InspireHUB affiliate or partner, InspireHUB will refer the brand or customer to the appropriate party.

  3. ii. InspireHUB Verified Affiliate or Partner
  4. If you are an InspireHUB Affiliate or Partner, as a Verified Agent, you can purchase licenses using your affiliate link or custom code for each individual IHUBApp that you are building for your clients. If you decide to cancel a license, you will need to provide us the appropriate notice based on the offering that you have selected  per the terms of cancellation as outlined in this agreement. Due to privacy laws, you are not allowed to transfer any IHUBApp 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. You are fully responsible for ensuring your hubs are held in compliance with all appropriate privacy legislation.
  1. 2. UNDERSTANDING WHY THE PRICING AND TERMS OF AN IHUBAPP LICENSE CAN CHANGE

At InspireHUB, we understand that what you are building may 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's important to understand that you are purchasing a subscription service and that rising 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 IHUBApp. We do this through third parties such as Microsoft Azure, Cloudflare 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 such as the IHUBApp 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. If the change of price involves an increase, you will be provided 30 days advance notification of the upcoming changes. If you decide to not proceed with your subscription at the increased price, you will be provided 60 days’ notice at your existing rate as you make your transition.

  1. 3. SECURING YOUR IHUBAPP

The IHUBApp Platform is a controlled system and we only allow verified developers to work on our platform in very specific ways. InspireHUB contracts with various cyber security and privacy firms to help us manage data security from an InspireHUB business perspective and also from the product perspective. We cannot possibly know all the different IHUBApps that people may build, 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.

Your data (which does belong solely to you when you purchase a 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 we endorse the free security training from https://wizer-training.com .

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

The content and communication possibilities of the IHUBApp 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.

We are always working to ensure the IHUBApp 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 breach or non-compliance, we reserve the right to remove the IHUBApp you have built to avoid harm to the users or individuals affected. This includes using the IHUBApp 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. 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 as the responsibility of InspireHUB.

5. UNDERSTANDING WHERE DATA IS STORED

InspireHUB is incorporated in three countries and also has set up independent instances of our technology in each country that we operate, which includes the USA, Canada, and Australia. Each country has separate legislation as it pertains to the management and protection of data. InspireHUB’s default is to set up new digital experiences for our customers on our USA instance. For Canadian and Australian organizations that require their data to be hosted on their respective country soils, InspireHUB provides the ability to do so. Due to the nature of our systems, the request must be made in advance of the initial setup.

🠞 InspireHUB does not have the ability to move IHUBApps between countries.

From time to time we may encounter a company that will wish to set up an IHUBApp outside of their country of origin as they seek to establish an international presence. They may choose to purchase and use products that have been developed by our partners in a country that is not their own. InspireHUB does make every effort to ensure our customers are using the instances of our platform that are optimal for their purposes, but ultimately it is our client’s responsibility to ensure their own compliance as it pertains to data and privacy
