These SEPARO TERMS OF USE (this “Agreement“) is made between Separo, a division of Represent Holdings LLC, (“Separo”) and you, or, if you represent an entity or other organization, that entity or organization (in either case “You” or “Company”). 

This Agreement governs access to the site located at www.separo.io (the “Site”) as well as all services made available therefrom, including without limitation the Separo services, Separo Platform, API and all Separo Materials (each as defined below and together the “Services”). If Company has placed or later place an order (whether through the URL, order form, email, phone or otherwise offered by Separo) with Separo (Company’s “Order”) seeking to access and use certain of the Services requiring registration, Separo is willing to accept Company’s Order and provide Company with access to and use of those Services only if Company complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

Without limiting the foregoing, the Services are not available to individuals under the age of 18 or who do not meet any of the other qualifications included in this agreement. 

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT. BY SUBMITTING AN ORDER OR BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. 

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR DO NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SEPARO IS NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES. IF YOU ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. 

THE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN YOU AND SEPARO VIA THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE ELECTRONIC. YOU CONSENT TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS FROM SEPARO IN AN ELECTRONIC FORM. YOU AGREE THAT ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AGREEMENTS, NOTICES, DISCLOSURES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS THAT WE PROVIDE TO YOU ELECTRONICALLY SATISFY ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENT THAT SUCH COMMUNICATIONS WOULD SATISFY IF THEY WERE IN WRITING.

This Agreement is entered into as of the earlier of the date Company first submits an Order relating to the Services or first accesses or uses the Site or Services (the “Effective Date”). This Agreement consists of the following terms and conditions and each Order submitted by Company and accepted by Separo, each of which is incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement. Unless otherwise amended as provided herein, this Agreement will exclusively govern Company’s access to and use of the Site and Services and is the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties, and supersedes any oral or written proposal, agreement or other communication between the parties, regarding Company’s access to and use of the Services and the Sites. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both parties. All waivers under this Agreement must be in writing. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. 

Separo reserves the right, at any time, to change or modify the Services or this Agreement, by making such change or modification available on the Site or by providing other notice to Company. Any such change or modification will be effective thirty (30) days after posting on the Site or such other notice. As applicable, Company will be deemed to have agreed to such change or modification through Company’s continued use of the Site or Services. 

1. License

Separo has developed a proprietary method for recommending optimal print settings for screen and/or other types of printing (the “Separo Method”). During the Term, in consideration of the payments and mutual promises contained in this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement:

a. Subject to Company’s completion of the registration process identified by Separo, Separo will provide to Company a specific URL or application ID to enable Company to access the Separo Services and Method, and application programming interface (the “API”), solely via the Company website or application specified in the registration process (the “Company Access Point”). Company shall at all times be responsible for all activities originating with the Company Access Point or credentials granted hereunder to Company and shall immediately notify Separo of any actual or suspected compromise thereof.

b. Separo grants Company a limited, royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonassignable license (without right of sublicense) to use the Services, API and any related supporting materials and documentation provided by Separo to Company (collectively “Separo Materials”) solely for purposes of querying the Separo Method platform and database associated therewith (the “Separo Platform”) and to retrieve information therefrom recommending optimal print output images and/or respective colors (“Print Output”) for use in Company’s internal business applications.

c. The foregoing license is subject to the following restrictions:

Separo shall have the right but not the obligation to monitor any usage of the API or Separo Platform in any manner. Separo reserves the right to suspend or terminate access immediately in the event of any violation of the license restrictions.

2. Assistance; Network Liability, Security and Disruptions.

a. Separo shall have no obligation to provide any technical assistance to Company hereunder.

b. Separo reserves the right to update or enhance the API or other Separo Materials, the Call Threshold, or the Separo Platform (each a “Modification”) at any time, in Separo’s sole discretion. Separo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of such Modifications within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Company acknowledges that such Modifications may affect the Company Access Point and may require Company to make changes to the Company Access Point to continue to be compatible with the API or Separo Platform.

c. In the event that, and for so long as, Separo determines that any part of the Company Access Point or Company’s use or operation thereof is in material violation of this Agreement or otherwise exposes Separo or any Separo systems, including without limitation the Separo Platform, to liability, disruption or security risks (“Disruption”), Separo shall notify Company of such Disruptions and request that Company remedy such Disruptions. Separo shall have the right to immediately suspend access of all or any portion of the Company Access Point causing such Disruptions (and only to the extent necessary to alleviate such Disruptions) or require Company to do so. Company shall reasonably cooperate with Separo to remedy any such Disruptions.

3. Ownership.

Separo owns all right, title and interest in and to the Separo Method, Separo Materials and Separo Platform (the “Separo IP”), and this Agreement does not grant any right, title or interest in any intellectual property owned by Separo. Separo's rights apply to the API and all output and executables of the API, excluding only the Print Output.

4. Fees.

You agree to pay Separo all fees set forth in each Order or Confirmation and any fees otherwise specified on the Site or through the Services (“Fees”). All Fees will be billed as indicated in each Order or Confirmation. If the applicable Order or Confirmation does not specify any applicable billing terms, the initial payment of Fees specified under that Order or Confirmation for each period in Your subscription will be due and payable by You in advance on or before the Effective Date and again on or before the completion of each subsequent period under this Agreement. If You have specified credit card or direct withdrawal from a bank account as an applicable payment mechanism under this Agreement, You grant Separo the right to charge the credit card or debit the bank account provided to Separo for all Fees incurred under this Agreement. All Fees will be non-refundable once paid to Separo (including upon any termination or suspension of this Agreement). Until paid in full, all past due amounts will bear an additional charge of the lesser of 1½% per month or the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. SEPARO MAY CHANGE ANY PORTION OF THE FEES BY POSTING THE CHANGES TO THE SITE OR OTHERWISE NOTIFYING COMPANY THROUGH THE SERVICES OF THE CHANGE, SUCH CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT AS SET FORTH THEREIN, BUT NOT EARLIER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS FOLLOWING SUCH NOTICE. COMPANY AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CONTINUED USE OF PAID SERVICES AFTER SUCH PERIOD SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ANY SUCH UPDATED FEES. If Separo requires use of collection agencies, attorneys, or courts of law for collection on Your account, You will be responsible for those expenses. You will be responsible for all use, sales, and other taxes imposed on the Services provided under this Agreement. 

5. Term and Termination.

The Agreement will commence upon any access to the Site or Service, and for certain paid Services as set forth in an Order, and shall continue until terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Order. Company may terminate its use of the Site or Services at any time. Either party may terminate the Agreement for a material breach which remains uncured within two (2) business days after receiving written notice of the breach. Separo may terminate the Agreement with respect to any unpaid Services or access to the Site for any reason or for no reason with or without notice at any time. Separo may terminate paid Services or access to the Site as set forth in the Order or on the Site where such Services are accessed, and if no terms are specified, upon thirty (30) prior days’ notice to Company.
