General Terms and Conditions 2021

General Terms and Conditions

Last Updated Date: December 10th, 2020

These Knowland General Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are agreed between The Knowland Group (“Knowland”) and the subscriber identified in a signed order for Knowland services (a “Service Order”) or the registration page on which these terms are associated (the “Subscriber”). These Terms will govern Subscriber’s access and use of the Knowland product(s) specified in the Service Order and/or the registration page (the “Products”) and, together with the Service Order, constitute the “Agreement.”

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. THE AGREEMENT GOVERNS SUBSCRIBER’S USE OF THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING USING THE SERVICES AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE OR ENABLED VIA THE PRODUCTS (EACH A “SERVICE” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “SERVICES”). IF SUBSCRIBER DOES NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUBSCRIBER MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PRODUCTS OR THE SERVICES.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE. Knowland provides a suite of cloud-based meeting intelligence Products and reports on a subscription basis as part of the Services. Subscriber is choosing to subscribe to one or more Services as listed in the Service Order or registration page. Additional Service Orders and/or amendments may be executed to add or substitute Services. Knowland is constantly innovating to provide the best possible experience to its Subscribers, and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Services may be enhanced from time to time without prior notice.
ACCESS TO THE SERVICES.
1. Access. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Knowland hereby grants to Subscriber a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access the features and functions of the Products ordered under a Service Order as hosted or delivered by Knowland for Subscriber’s internal business purposes during the access term specified in the Service Order up to the Service Limits. The term “Service Limits” means the limitations on use set forth on the Service Order. Knowland shall provide to Subscriber any necessary access protocols and documentation to access and use the Services. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Services will not be used, and are not made available for use, in connection with any time-critical or mission-critical functions. Subscriber will ensure that its use of the Service complies with all applicable laws, statutes, regulations or rules.
2. Usage Restrictions. Subscriber will have the right to access and use the Services and the materials, information and content available through the Services (collectively, the “Knowland Content”) for their internal business purposes during the Term. Subscriber will not (a) create any derivative product from any of the foregoing, except that Subscriber may incorporate Knowland Content into Subscriber’s work product and share such Knowland Content with Subscriber’s employees, provided such use is for Subscriber’s internal business purposes and otherwise complies with the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement; (b) allow third parties other than Authorized Users to gain access to the Services or use the Services as a service bureau or reseller of access to the Services; or (c) remove or destroy any copyright notices or other proprietary markings contained on or in a Product or Knowland Content. “Authorized Users” shall mean those employees of Subscriber who access the Services for Subscriber’s internal business purposes with a single email domain, unless Knowland approves otherwise in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, Authorized Users include any employee of Subscriber who is provided access to Knowland Content for Subscriber’s internal business purposes, whether or not such employee has been expressly granted access to the Product by Knowland. Authorized Users, however, shall not include any third party who accesses the Knowland Content for any purpose not contemplated by this Agreement. Subscriber agrees not to use any information obtained through the Services for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose. In addition, Subscriber may not access the Services for purposes of monitoring Knowland’s availability, performance or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes. Subscriber also may not reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, adapt, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to any software component of the Services or any Knowland Product, in whole or in part.
3. No Sharing. Any information obtained through the Services is intended only for use by Subscriber. Subscriber may not reproduce, retransmit, distribute, disseminate, sell, publish, broadcast or circulate any portion of the Services or information obtained from Knowland to anyone other than Authorized Users without the express written consent of Knowland. If Subscriber has related properties (in that they share ownership, management, or sales teams) wishing to use the Services, then Knowland requires that each of those properties obtain their own subscription to the Services unless otherwise agreed in the Service Order.
4. Usernames and Passwords. Subscriber will ensure that each username and password issued to an Authorized User will be used only by that Authorized User. Subscriber is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Authorized Users’ usernames and passwords, and is solely responsible for all activities that occur under these usernames. Subscriber will notify Knowland promptly of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of Subscriber’s account, usernames or passwords, or any other breach or suspected breach of this Agreement. Knowland reserves the right to terminate any username and password which Knowland reasonably determines may have been used by an unauthorized third party or for an unlawful purpose. Email inquiries should be sent to clientcare@knowland.com. For Subscribers located in the European Union, see Section 21.
5. Retained Rights; Ownership. Subject to the rights granted in this Agreement, Knowland retains all right, title and interest in and to the Products and Knowland Content, and Subscriber acknowledges that it neither owns nor acquires any additional rights in and to the foregoing not expressly granted by this Agreement.
CONTENT. The Knowland Content are proprietary to Knowland and should be considered Knowland’s Confidential Information, as defined in Section 12. For purposes of clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that the “reader board” information that Knowland collects is Knowland Content.
1. Right to use Knowland Content. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, Knowland hereby grants Subscriber a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable (only as set forth in this Agreement) license to use, display and reproduce the Knowland Content solely for Subscriber’s internal business use in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and for no other purpose. Upon termination of this Agreement, Subscriber must promptly delete or destroy all documents and other materials representing any Knowland Content and all copies thereof.
2. Third-Party Content. Over time, content from third parties may be made available to Authorized Users through the Services. Because Knowland does not control such content, Knowland does not make any warranties, representations, or assurances about such third-party content, including without limitation, regarding the completeness, accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of the information in such content.
FEES. Subscriber agrees to pay all fees and other charges specified in the Service Order. Knowland’s fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Subscriber shall be responsible for payment of all applicable taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States taxes based solely on Knowland’s income. The prices set out for the Services are exclusive of taxes and Subscriber will be responsible for all sales, goods, use, services, excise, value added, or other taxes imposed or assessed in connection with Knowland’s provision of the Services. Subscriber agrees to pay all amounts due in full, without any deductions made for taxes of any kind, and Subscriber will pay to Knowland any such taxes that Knowland is required to collect under applicable law. Subscriber will provide Knowland with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as Knowland may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid. Subscriber agrees to provide Knowland with complete and accurate billing and contact information and shall promptly update such information if it changes. All payments are final. Billing updates and questions should be sent to billing@knowland.com.
PAYMENT. Subscriber must pay the fees specified in the Service Order no later than fifteen (15) days after the date of Knowland’s invoice, unless otherwise stated in the Service Order.
1. Any late payments will be assessed late charges at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.
2. Subscriber will be charged a fee of $25 for each returned check.
3. Knowland may suspend access to the Services without notice if past due balances exceed sixty (60) days.
4. Unless otherwise provided by the applicable payment processor or payment platform used in connection with Subscriber’s payment for Services, Subscriber must notify Knowland in writing within seven (7) days after receiving Subscriber’s credit card statement/invoice if Subscriber disputes any of Knowland’s charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be notified to the following address: billing@knowland.com.
TERM. The initial term of this Agreement will be as specified in the Service Order. The initial term may have two components: (a) a complimentary period of time (the “Complimentary Period”), and (b) the billable period of time (the “Billable Period”) (collectively, the “Initial Term”)
1. If the Service Order does not specify the Initial Term it shall be deemed to be one (1) year.
2. After the Initial Term, and again after any Renewal Term, the Term shall automatically renew for a new term equal to the Billable Period portion of the Initial Term (each, a “Renewal Term” and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless one party provides the other party notice of non-renewal in writing as specified below in Section 7(a) within the time frame set forth in 7(a).
TERMINATION.
1. Subscriber Termination. Unless otherwise stated in the Service Order, Subscriber must notify Knowland of its intention to cancel or not-renew any specific Service no later than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then current Term by email to clientcare@knowland.com.
  1. Such cancelation or non-renewal will become effective immediately following the end of the then-current Term. Unless Knowland agrees otherwise in writing, Subscriber will remain responsible for payment for the Services up to and through the end of the then-current Term.
  2. Emailed cancelation notices are not valid until confirmed by Knowland. A Knowland representative will confirm receipt and provide Subscriber with confirmation of the effective cancelation date. Cancelations are not accepted by telephone or any method other than described herein.
2. Knowland Cancelation. Knowland may cancel this Agreement or any specific Service for its own convenience, for reasons that may include, but are not limited to, market shutdowns or product sunsets, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice. In the event of Knowland’s cancelation of this Agreement or any specific Service other than due to Subscriber’s nonpayment or other breach, Subscriber shall only be responsible for payment for the affected Service(s) on a pro-rated basis through the effective date of termination.
3. Termination due to Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party if the other party is in material breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy the breach within thirty (30) days of written notice of such breach.
  1. Subscriber Breach. During the period of any such breach by Subscriber, Knowland may suspend Subscriber’s access to any of the Services in Knowland’s sole discretion. In the event of Knowland’s termination due to Subscriber’s nonpayment or other breach, in addition to any amounts outstanding on Subscriber’s account and any other remedies available to Knowland in law or in equity, Subscriber will be assessed an early termination fee in an amount equivalent to all fees that would otherwise have been charged through the end of the then-current Term.
  2. Knowland Breach. In the event of Subscriber’s termination due to Knowland’s uncured material breach, Subscriber shall only be responsible for payment on a pro-rated basis through the effective date of termination.
4. If Subscriber terminates or cancels this Agreement and subsequently enters into a new Agreement with Knowland within twelve (12) months after termination, such new Agreement will be subject to a re-instatement fee equal to the fees that would have been due during such twelve (12) month period as if the Agreement had not been canceled or terminated.
5. If Subscriber’s access to the Products or Services is discontinued by Knowland due to a violation of any portion of the Agreement by Subscriber or any Authorized User, then Subscriber agrees that it shall not attempt to re-register with or access Products or Services through use of a different name or otherwise, and Subscriber acknowledges that it will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to the Products and Services to which Subscriber’s access has been terminated.
6. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, all rights granted hereunder to Subscriber shall cease. The provisions of Sections 3, 12, 15, 18, 19 and 20 will survive any termination of this Agreement or any specific Service Order.
PRICE ESCALATION. The Service Order lists the prices for the Services. Knowland may increase the prices after the Initial Term of the Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in the Service Order, the price for each renewal term shall be increased by ten percent (10%) over the price for the prior Term. The new prices will be listed on the next Knowland invoice for the Renewal Term.
SUBSCRIBER NETWORK. Many Knowland Products depend on contacting users via email or users logging into Knowland’s cloud-based website. Knowland is not responsible for website blockages due to Subscriber’s spam, malware, virus, or any other filters or for any other technical reasons within Subscriber’s network or technical infrastructure.
ASSIGNMENT. Subscriber may assign this Agreement upon Knowland’s written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the new owner or manager chooses not to assume this contract, then the original Subscriber will be liable for an early termination fee equal to the remaining amount due for the current Term of the Agreement. If Subscriber undergoes a change of control, Subscriber will continue to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Knowland may assign this Agreement in connection with any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving Knowland, or a sale of all or substantially all of Knowland’s assets.
KNOWLAND ACCESS. Knowland views Subscribers as industry partners in the data collection process, and access to the Services is conditioned upon Subscriber willingly sharing information with Knowland about its meetings and group business. “Readerboard Data” means usage information for all meeting and/or function space events being held at Subscriber’s property. Readerboard Data must include at a minimum (but is not limited to) event name, date of event, group name, and meeting room/function space. During the Term of this Agreement, the following shall apply:
1. If the Service Order requires “Self-reporting”:
  1. Knowland will provide a self-reporting option that does not create an excessive administrative burden on Subscriber;
  2. Subscriber must provide daily Readerboard Data in a form reasonably acceptable to Knowland; and
  3. Subscriber represents and warrants that all reported Readerboard Data will be accurate, complete and truthful in all respects.
2. If the Service Order requires “automated data collection” such as, but not limited to, “Amadeus Data Feed.” (For simplicity, this Agreement refers to all automated data collection providers and platforms as “Amadeus.” All references to “Amadeus” shall apply to any automated data collection provider or platform referenced in the Service Order or otherwise agreed upon by the parties.)
  1. Subscriber hereby authorizes Knowland to collect and use the Readerboard Data submitted via Amadeus that is housed on any Amadeus or Amadeus subsidiary’s or affiliate’s software, subscription product, or database. The data will be collected via an API feed directly from the Amadeus Sales & Event Management platform.
  2. Should the Subscriber at some point in the future no longer be an Amadeus customer, Subscriber agrees to comply with Self-reporting per Section 11.a).
  3. Subscriber agrees to execute a release form required by Amadeus (or other data collection providers) within 15 days of the execution of this agreement.
3. If the Service Order is silent on Self reporting and automated data collection, and does not otherwise specify a method for reporting Readerboard Data:
  1. Subscriber agrees to allow Knowland and its employees and agents access to Subscriber’s premises for the purpose of recording Readerboard Data;
  2. Subscriber will not unreasonably restrict or block such access; and
  3. If Knowland requests access and Subscriber is unwilling or unable to comply fully with Knowland’s request, then Subscriber will be required to supply the information by self-reporting per Section 11(a).
4. Compliance with this Section 11 is a material term of this Agreement. Subscriber’s breach of this Section 11 will entitle Knowland to terminate this Agreement for breach unless the breach is cured in accordance with Section 7(c) of this Agreement. In the event of Knowland’s termination or cancelation of this Agreement or any Service pursuant to Section 7(c), Subscriber’s obligations and Knowland’s rights under this paragraph will continue until they otherwise would have expired, irrespective of such termination or cancelation.
5. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber’s Readerboard Data is not Confidential Information.
CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties acknowledge that during the performance of this Agreement, each party may have access to the other party’s Confidential Information or Confidential Information of third parties that the disclosing party is required to maintain as confidential. “Confidential Information” shall mean all written or oral information, disclosed by either party to the other, related to the operations of either party or a third party that has been identified as confidential or that by the nature of the circumstances surrounding disclosure ought reasonably to be treated as confidential. For clarity, the Knowland Content is Confidential Information.
1. Mutual Confidentiality Obligations. Each party agrees to use Confidential Information disclosed by the other party only for the purposes described in these Terms and will hold in confidence and protect such Confidential Information from dissemination to, and use by, any third party. To the extent practicable, each party will return or destroy, all Confidential Information disclosed by the other party that is in its possession upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, provided that upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Subscriber must delete or destroy all Knowland Content in accordance with Section 3.
  1. Confidentiality Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the two paragraphs above will not apply to Confidential Information that: (i) is publicly available or in the public domain at the time disclosed; (ii) is or becomes publicly available or enters the public domain through no fault of the recipient; (iii) is rightfully communicated to the recipient by persons not bound by confidentiality obligations with respect thereto; (iv) is already in the recipient’s possession free of any confidentiality obligations with respect thereto at the time of disclosure; (v) is independently developed by the recipient; or (vi) is approved for release or disclosure by the disclosing party without restriction.
2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other party to allow such other party to make a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or to establish a party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make such court filings as it may be required to do.
3. Survival Period. The obligations set forth in this Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years.
WARRANTIES. Knowland warrants that it will provide the Services using commercially reasonable care and skill. Knowland represents and warrants that Knowland uses industry standard means to detect and remove viruses, Trojan horses, trap doors, back doors, Easter eggs, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate the contents of any databases, and/or the normal operation of any computer systems (“Virus”). To protect against the introduction of Viruses, Knowland shall follow commercially reasonable prudent procedures and use then-current commercially available Virus detection mechanisms to test Knowland’s technology (within the limitations of such commercially available virus detection mechanisms) for all Viruses. Subscriber also represents and warrants that it uses commercially reasonable prudent procedures and then-current commercially available Virus detection mechanisms to generally protect its systems.
DISCLAIMER. KNOWLAND MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR UTILITY OF ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES. EXCEPT FOR THE FOREGOING EXPRESS WARRANTY, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITH ALL FAULTS, AND SUBSCRIBER UNDERSTANDS THAT SUBSCRIBER ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF THE USE, QUALITY, AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES. THE SERVICE MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS, DELAYS, AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. KNOWLAND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, DELIVERY FAILURES, OR OTHER DAMAGES RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS OR ANY OTHER FORCE MAJEURE EVENT. KNOWLAND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. OTHER THAN A BREACH OF A PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF A PARTY IS NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. KNOWLAND’S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY SUBSCRIBER TO KNOWLAND FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. THIS LIMIT APPLIES COLLECTIVELY TO KNOWLAND AND ITS LICENSORS, SUBSIDIARIES, CONTRACTORS, AND SUPPLIERS.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Each party, at its expense, shall fully comply with all applicable laws, rules, orders, regulations, and ordinances, including all applicable export control laws, rules, and regulations relating to provision of, access to, or use of any materials and Products. Subscriber agrees not to use any information obtained through the Services for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose. Subscriber agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Knowland for any claims, losses, or damages resulting from Subscriber’s breach of this Section, to the extent allowed by law.
PRIVACY. Knowland will protect the privacy of Subscriber’s personal information as described in Knowland’s Privacy and Cookie Policy at https://www.knowland.com/privacystatement.

The parties expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state courts located in Arlington County, Virginia and the federal courts serving Arlington County, Virginia to resolve any dispute arising from or related to this Agreement.
2. Waiver of Jury Trial. SUBSCRIBER AND KNOWLAND HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JURY.
