Premium Subscription Agreement
This Premium Subscription Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) is made between Sanctions LLC, and you, as a Premium Subscriber or Corporate Subscriber to Sanctions LLC’s Services. It sets forth the terms and conditions on which we agree to make available, and you agree to access and use, the Services, including services and content available only to our Premium and Corporate Subscribers (“Premium Services”). In addition to this Agreement, you also remain bound by Sanctions LLC’s Terms of Use, which are incorporated to this document by reference as though fully set forth herein. In the case of Premium and Corporate Subscribers, this Subscription Agreement shall govern in the event of any conflict or discrepancy between the Terms of Use and the Subscription Agreement.
DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in Sanctions LLC’s Terms of Use.
1. PREMIUM AND CORPORATE USE
1.1 Users with Subscription Agreements may be Premium Subscribers or Corporate Subscribers (each a “Premium Account” holder). Both Premium Subscribers and Corporate Subscribers will be governed by this Subscription Agreement, with each type of subscriber able to access the levels of data associated with the corresponding subscription type.
1.2 Premium Subscriber. A Premium Subscriber holds a Premium Subscription account for a single individual User, which allows the User to access Premium Services. The individual User must register for a Premium Subscription with a Valid Email and pay the Fee for a Premium Subscriber. A User accessing the Services through a valid Premium Subscription is a “Premium User.”
1.3 Corporate Subscriber. A Corporate Subscriber holds a Premium Subscription account for an entity, which allows a specified number of employees of that entity to access Premium Services. The entity must register for a Corporate Subscription with a Valid Email and pay the Fee for a Corporate Subscriber. One set of administrative credentials will be assigned to the entity upon registration for a Corporate Subscription. In addition to the entity’s registration, each individual designated User on the Corporate Subscription account will be required to supply us with a Valid Email. All email addresses on the Corporate Subscription account must have the same corporate extension (e.g. “@nameofentity.com”). A User accessing the Services through a valid Corporate Subscription is a “Corporate User.” Corporate Users and Premium Users may, at times, be collectively referred to as simply “Premium Users.”
1.4 Sanctions LLC reserves full discretion to accept or deny any application for a Premium Account. If your application is denied, your credit card will not be charged.
1.5 Premium Accounts may be used only by and for the benefit of the person or persons registered for such Premium Account. Under no circumstances may a Premium or Corporate User allow a third-party to access the Services using that User’s credentials.
1.6 Sanctions LLC will provide each Premium User or individual Corporate User with a User ID and password to enable access to the Premium Services. You (and, in the case of Corporate Subscribers, both the Corporate Subscriber and each individual Corporate User) must ensure that such User ID and password are kept confidential and not shared with any third party. You understand and agree that you will be held responsible for any access or use of the Services, Materials, or Website using such User ID and password.
1.7 We reserve the right to disable your User ID and password at any time, in our sole discretion, without notice or explanation. This suspension is in addition to all other legal remedies available to us. Your sole remedy for such disabled access, and only in cases where it is determined that such access was disabled without a breach, or threatened breach, by You of this Agreement or the Terms of Use, is an account credit for access to the Premium Services for the amount of time access to your Premium Account was disabled.
2. FEES/PAYMENT/RENEWAL TERMS
2.1 Subscription Terms are one year, with a flat fee payable on a per-institution basis, with fees varying depending on the size and type of institution.
2.2 Quoted Subscription Fees are exclusive of any applicable federal, state, municipal or other taxes or duties, including VAT and GST (collectively, “Applicable Taxes”), unless otherwise specified. Your ability to access the Premium Services begins on the date on which you pay the Subscription Fee and Applicable Taxes (if any), and continues on a yearly basis. Unless you advise otherwise in accordance with the cancellation procedure described in Section 4.1, we will automatically renew your access to the Premium Services by charging the applicable Fee plus any Applicable Taxes to the payment method you provided to us.
2.3 Sanctions LLC reserves the right to change the Fees at any time upon notice to the Premium Account holder. Such new Fees will take effect in the next yearly billing cycle for the Premium Account holder.
2.4 Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices due to credit card or bank fees.
3. ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR CORPORATE ACCOUNTS
3.1 Each Corporate User of a particular Corporate Subscriber must provide a Valid Email with the same extension/domain. For example: [email protected], [email protected].
3.2 Unless otherwise agreed in an applicable Order Form, each Corporate Subscriber is allowed a maximum of five Users. Corporate Subscribers will be supplied with one set of User credentials upon initial registration and will have the ability to designate four additional Users, each of which will have separate User IDs and passwords.
3.3 Each Corporate Subscriber must designate an account manager (“Account Manager”) at registration who will be responsible for managing all Users under the Corporate Subscriber’s account. Specifically, it is the Account Manager’s responsibility to ensure User information is entered and maintained correctly, to manage User access and maintain up-to-date User credentials, and to inform designated Users of their obligation to comply with the terms of this Agreement and Sanctions LLC’s Terms of Use.
3.4 Sanctions LLC reserves the right to terminate or suspend a Corporate Subscriber’s entire account if any individual User under such account breaches the obligations of this Agreement or the Terms of Use.
4. NON-RENEWAL/ CANCELLATION
4.1 All subscriptions are non-refundable through the then-current Subscription Term and there are no refunds or credits for cancellation or for partially used periods. Premium Account holders may cancel their subscription by emailing a cancellation request to [email protected] at least five working days before expiration of the then-current Subscription Term.
4.2 Cancellation will end billing and remove your access to Premium Services at the end of your then-current Subscription Term.
5. RIGHTS OF USE/LIMITATIONS ON USE
5.1 As a Premium or Corporate User, you acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of your use of all Services, including Premium Services and Materials, remain governed by the Terms of Use (see sections 1.1 through 1.7 thereof) in addition to this Agreement.
5.1.1 You may not use the Services or Materials in any fashion that infringes our goodwill, our intellectual property rights, and/or our proprietary interests, or those of any third party.
5.2 Sanctions LLC reserves the right to suspend, block or limit access to the Services or Materials by any User, on a temporary or permanent basis, at any time, in our sole discretion, without notice or explanation, including but not limited to in the case of any suspected violation of any terms of this Agreement or of Sanctions Inc’s Terms of Use. Your sole remedy for such disabled access, and only in cases where it is determined that such access was disabled without a breach, or threatened breach, by You of this Agreement, or the Terms of Use, is an account credit for access to the Premium Services for the amount of time access to your Premium Account was disabled.
