Xcyte Digital Corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (“Xcyte,” “our,” “we,” or “us”) provides an online platform that offers an integrated cloud-based SaaS model for online training, professional learning, event management, media asset management, streaming and online collaboration (the “Service”).
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF USE (“TERMS”) DURING AN ORDERING OR REGISTRATION PROCESS, OR BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, WHETHER AS A PAID CUSTOMER OR FREE CUSTOMER, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND/OR YOUR COMPANY, YOU (“YOU” OR “CUSTOMER”) ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY AND ACCEPT THE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAINED HEREIN AND OUR PRIVACY NOTICE, WHICH, TOGETHER WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, CREATES A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN EXCYTE AND YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE OUR SERVICES. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO PRINT OR DOWNLOAD THESE TERMS AND TO REGULARLY CHECK THIS WEBSITE TO OBTAIN TIMELY NOTICE OF ANY CHANGES TO THESE TERMS, WHICH MAY OCCUR AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE. NEW VERSIONS OF THESE TERMS WILL BE INDICATED BY THE VERSION DATE LISTED ABOVE. You may continue to use the Service as long as you adhere to our Terms of Service and consent to the terms in these Terms of Service.
BROWSING THE WEBSITE
You may browse our Website, which is located at www.xcytedigital.com (the “Website”) and may do so in line with our Privacy Notice.
SUBSCRIBING TO OUR SERVICE
If however, you choose to order the Services, you will do so via a services agreement (“Service Agreement”), which is an Xcyte Digital-approved form or online subscription process (which may include in-account ordering) by which you agree to subscribe to the Service. These Terms and any Service Agreement we enter into shall be referred to collectively herein as this “Agreement.” Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on our website from time to time, are hereby expressly incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
Service Agreements may be entered into by Xcyte Digital Corporation, and by its wholly-owned subsidiaries. This Agreement will be deemed to be only between our entity that enters into the Service Agreement and Customer.
The Services are not intended for use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject Xcyte Digital to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
MINIMUM AGE TO SUBSCRIBE TO OUR SERVICE
When you sign up for our Service, you must be the age of legal majority in the jurisdiction which you reside, which is 18 years old for users in the United States. Since we provide a platform, your own users may be under the age of 18 but not under the age of 13 if in the United States or 16 if outside the United States under any circumstances.
LICENSE
Subject to both the acceptance by Xcyte Digital of your Service Agreement, and the terms of your Service Agreement, Xcyte Digital hereby grants to you during the term of your Service Agreement the non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access and use the Services, solely to the extent required to produce, operate and present multi-media communications relating to your business operations. Unless you have entered into a separate agreement with Xcyte Digital, you are prohibited from reselling or acting as a service bureau for any of the Services. You shall not reverse engineer, modify, decompile, disassemble, translate or otherwise attempt to derive source code from any part of the Services or associated software. You shall not remove, alter or obscure in any way any proprietary rights (i.e., copyright) notices.
From time to time after the date of your Service Agreement, new releases of the Services may add, enhance or change the features and services available. You shall be entitled to use, if you choose, any such new features and services, but additional charges and terms may apply. Xcyte Digital reserves the right to withdraw, suspend or discontinue any functionality or feature of the Services at any time. Xcyte Digital reserves the right to change methods of access to the Services at any time for any reason, without notice.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
You may purchase professional services (“Professional Services”) by placing a Service Agreement with us. Professional Services may consist of Services implementation and configuration, private branding, training and general consulting. If you order private branding for your Services, then you hereby grant Xcyte Digital a license as necessary to apply your branding to your Service. The specific Professional Services description ordered will be set forth on a Service Agreement. Fees for professional services are in addition to your fees for the Services. Unless we otherwise agree, all Professional Services will be performed remotely. If not performed remotely, then you will reimburse Xcyte Digital reasonable travel-related expenses incurred. If you purchase Professional Services that recur, they will be considered part of your Services subscription and will renew in accordance with your Services. All fees for Professional Services are non-refundable.
ORDERING AND PRICING
Ordering of Services. Initial services will be ordered via the Service Agreement. After your initial Service Agreement, you may order additional features via an additional Service Agreement or by activating the additional features from within your account (if this option is made available by us.). This Agreement will apply to all additional Service Agreements and all additional features that you activate from within your account. Unless otherwise indicated in a Service Agreement, additional services ordered during a term will renew on the same schedule as then-current services.
Service Agreement Term and Renewal. Service Agreements are non-cancellable prior to the end of the term stated in the Service Agreement (the “Term”). Service Agreements will automatically renew for subsequent terms of the same length as the original term unless cancelled prior to renewal, provided that if your initial Term was for more than one (1) year, then the renewal term will be for one (1) year. If renewal pricing is not included in your Service Agreement, then our standard pricing available on the date of renewal will apply. One-time service events may also apply, in which case, no subsequent term would apply.
Fees and Payment for Services. You will pay Xcyte Digital fees per the criteria set forth in the applicable Service Agreement. Fees include recurring fees paid in advance for Services ordered on a subscription basis (“Subscription Services”) and fees for Services that are charged in arrears calculated based upon usage. The Service Agreement will indicate the length of your Term (e.g., 12, 24 or 36 months) and the payment schedule. If you are ordering Professional Services, then the Service Agreement will state the price and payment schedule. Xcyte Digital reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change or institute new or additional rates, charges and/or fees for access to or use of the Services or to change its payment terms or billing methods at any time. Xcyte Digital may suspend or terminate your Services if Xcyte Digital determines, in its sole discretion, that your previous payment record so warrants such suspension or termination. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement or on our website. If we offer from time to time the ability to terminate the Service early, then any offered refund shall not include a refund of fees paid for Professional Services, unless the offer expressly states otherwise. You may not cancel Services until the end of the Term. We do not provide refunds if you decide to stop using the Service during your Term. Fees will be billed in U.S. dollars, unless expressly stated otherwise by Xcyte Digital or agreed upon by the parties in writing. If renewal pricing is not included in your Service Agreement, then our standard pricing available on the date of renewal will apply. If you are an Xcyte Digital partner that purchases on behalf of a client, you agree to be responsible for the Service Agreement and hereby guarantee payment of all fees. Prices may be increased at any time. However, for Subscription Services, you will receive notice of any price increases at least 30 days prior to the end of the Term.
Named Users. Your fees may be linked to Named Users. For the purposes hereof, a “Named User” is an individual designated and identified by you as an organizer/administrator who is authorized to use the Services. A Named User designation is for specific employees and may not be utilized by more than a single employee. Named User designations may be transferred to another employee if the original Named User is no longer functioning as an organizer/administrator. For so long as Xcyte Digital supports such selections, you may increase your number of Named Users, at any time, by submitting your selections on your account page or by requesting such change via an Xcyte Digital agent.
Upgrades. Where permitted by Xcyte Digital, at its sole discretion and subject to you meeting all pre-conditions identified or communicated to you for the upgrade offer to you, you may upgrade Services. You are and shall remain responsible for all fees and charges due and incurred for Services provided under an existing ordered plan through the upgrade effective date and you are not and will not be entitled to any partial months’ credits or refunds of any kind as a result of the upgrade. After any upgrade effective date, you shall be responsible for the increased fees and charges associated with the upgrade, including without limitation any new and/or additional charges associated therewith, which may include without limitation, for any overages. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be deemed to require Xcyte Digital to permit and/or allow any upgrades. You may not downgrade your ordered Services during the Term and in order to avoid additional charges, you should purchase the appropriate tier of Service for your anticipated needs.
Credit Cards. All fees shall be paid by you by credit or debit card, and you agree if payment is not received by Xcyte Digital from the card issuer or its agents, you will pay all amounts due upon demand by Xcyte Digital. Each time you use the Services, or allow or cause the Services to be used, you agree and reaffirm that Xcyte Digital is authorized to charge your designated card in connection with the Services and Professional Services. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT XCYTE DIGITAL MAY SUBMIT CHARGES FOR USE OF THE SERVICES EACH MONTH, QUARTER OR YEAR, AS APPLICABLE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR SERVICE AGREEMENT OR AS SET FORTH ON XCYTE DIGITAL’S WEBSITE, WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU FOR EACH CHARGE, until you provide prior written notice (in accordance with Xcyte Digital’s verification procedures, as may be established by Xcyte Digital from time to time in its sole discretion) that you terminate this authorization or desire to change your designated card. Such notices will not affect charges submitted before Xcyte Digital reasonably could act on such notice. When you provide your card information to Xcyte Digital (or its designated licensees or subcontractors), you represent and warrant to Xcyte Digital that you are the authorized user of your designated card. You agree to promptly notify Xcyte Digital of any changes to your designated card account number, its expiration date or your billing address, as applicable, and you agree to notify Xcyte Digital if such designated card expires or is cancelled for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the designated card account holder is responsible for all charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all purchases made by such account holder or anyone that uses the card. You further authorize us to use a third party to process payments, and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party.
Late Payments and Disputes. Past-due balances not reasonably disputed in good faith as herein provided shall be subject to an interest charge of 5% plus a charge thereafter of 11/2% per month computed from the due date of each invoice previously issued, or the maximum rate legally permitted, whichever is less, and you shall pay any collection costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other expenses incurred by Xcyte Digital to collect any such sums due under this Agreement. You must promptly notify Xcyte Digital of any charge disputed in good faith, with supporting documentation, or you will be deemed to agree to such charges and no adjustments to charges or invoices will be made. You remain responsible to pay charges not reasonably disputed in good faith as herein provided by the due date. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER REMEDY HEREIN, IF FEES ARE NOT PAID IN A TIMELY MANNER, OR IF XCYTE DIGITAL IS UNABLE TO PROCESS YOUR TRANSACTION(S) USING THE DESIGNATED CARD INFORMATION PROVIDED, XCYTE DIGITAL RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND AND/OR TERMINATE THE SERVICES OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.
MERCHANDISE AND SERVICES SALES
The Service includes features that facilitate sales by you of products and services. Transactions will be conducted via a third-party payment gateway (“Gateway”) and you will be required to enter into applicable agreements with the Gateway. Such agreements shall be solely between you and the Gateway. Xcyte Digital is not a party to such agreements. Other than providing necessary linkage with the Gateway platform, Xcyte Digital plays no role in any sale transactions. You are solely responsible for all sales and terms of sales you transact through the Gateway, including, without limitation, the collection of required sales taxes. You agree to indemnify and hold Xcyte Digital harmless from and against any claims by purchasers of your products or services conducted via the Gateway. The Gateways that we work with represent that they are compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
BETA VERSIONS
With respect to any beta version of any of the Services (the “Beta Services”) made available to you for purposes of evaluation and feedback, you acknowledge that the Beta Services may contain bugs, errors and other problems and are provided to you “as-is.” To the extent permitted by law, Xcyte Digital disclaims any warranty or liability obligations to you of any kind with respect to the Beta Services. You further acknowledge the importance of communication between Xcyte Digital and you during your use of the Beta Services and hereby agree to receive related correspondence and updates from Xcyte Digital and its suppliers through email or regular mail. In the event you request to opt-out from such communications, your use of the Beta Services may be canceled. You also hereby acknowledge that Xcyte Digital has not made any representations, promises or guarantees that the Beta Services will ever be announced or made available to anyone in the future and that Xcyte Digital has no express or implied obligation to you to announce or introduce the Beta Services. With respect to the Beta Services, this subsection shall supersede any other terms and conditions contained herein, but only to the extent necessary to resolve conflict. In addition to and without limiting any other rights or remedies Xcyte Digital has, if Xcyte Digital determines, in its sole discretion, that you have violated any conditions of and/or limitations on the Beta Services, Xcyte Digital reserves the right to immediately terminate the Beta Services.

Xcyte Digital further retains the right to reject a registration application in its sole discretion and without a requirement to provide a reason. Without limiting the foregoing, Xcyte Digital may refuse to provide the Services to any individual or entity who has cancelled any number of previous accounts.
