  • 7.3 Electronic Signature Responsibilities
    • Customer acknowledges and agrees to the following regarding the use of electronic signatures within the SignMyForm Services:
    • Legality of Electronic Signatures: SignMyForm enables the use of electronic signatures in accordance with applicable laws, including but not limited to the ESIGN Act (United States), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and the eIDAS Regulation (European Union). These laws establish that electronic signatures are legally binding when specific criteria are met.
    • Consent to Electronic Transactions: By using SignMyForm Services, the Customer consents to conduct transactions electronically and confirms that all required disclosures and agreements have been presented electronically in a manner compliant with relevant legal standards. It is the Customer’s responsibility to obtain explicit consent from their end users to use electronic signatures, as required by applicable laws.
    • Excluded Documents: Certain document types, such as wills, trusts, or family law agreements, may not be validly executed through electronic signatures depending on jurisdictional laws. Customers are solely responsible for determining whether their documents are appropriate for electronic execution under applicable laws.
    • Consumer Protection Requirements: Customers engaging in transactions with consumers are responsible for ensuring compliance with additional consumer protection laws, which may impose specific disclosure, consent, and format requirements. SignMyForm does not guarantee compliance with such requirements and recommends seeking independent legal advice for consumer transactions.
    • Authentication and Verification: SignMyForm provides tools for authenticating signers; however, the Customer is solely responsible for verifying the identity of their users and ensuring the authenticity of the electronic signatures collected. SignMyForm disclaims liability for authentication processes managed by the Customer.

8    PAYMENT TERMS
  • 8.1   Subscription Plan. The prices, features, and options of the SignMyForm Services depend on the Subscription Plan selected by Customer (including any usage or overage fees). SignMyForm does not guarantee that your particular Subscription Plan will be offered indefinitely. We reserve the right to change the prices, features, or options included in a particular Subscription Plan without notice, provided that such changes shall not take effect until your next applicable subscription term.
  • 8.2   Recurring Charges and Upgrades. By signing up for a Subscription Plan, Customer authorizes SignMyForm to charge Customer’s payment method on a recurring basis (e.g. monthly, quarterly, or yearly depending on Customer’s Subscription Plan) without an invoice. Customer expressly authorizes SignMyForm to charge its payment method (such as a credit card) for the applicable subscription charges, any usage or overage charges, and any and all applicable taxes and fees. Such authorization is effective until the end of the Subscription Term and any applicable Renewal Term, or until Customer cancels all of its subscriptions.
    • If Customer exceeds their subscription plan’s usage limits, Customer may be automatically upgraded into the next highest Subscription Plan and Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that it will pay for the upgraded Subscription Plan. All upgrade fees and charges are non-refundable, even if Customer did not use the full usage allotment of the applicable Subscription Plan.
  • 8.3   Taxes. SignMyForm’s fees are exclusive of all taxes, and Customer must pay any applicable sales, use, VAT, GST, excise, withholding, or similar taxes or levies, whether domestic or foreign, other than taxes based on the income of SignMyForm. Customer will not deduct any applicable taxes from the payments to SignMyForm, except as required by law. If such deduction is required by law, Customer will increase the amount payable as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings, SignMyForm receives and retains (free from any such liabilities) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
  • 8.4   Auto-renewals and Trials. IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS SET TO AUTO-RENEWAL OR IS IN A TRIAL PERIOD AND YOU HAVE PROVIDED A METHOD OF PAYMENT TO SIGNMYFORM FOR THE SERVICES, SIGNMYFORM MAY CHARGE YOU AUTOMATICALLY AT THE END OF THE TRIAL OR FOR THE RENEWAL, UNLESS YOU NOTIFY SIGNMYFORM THAT YOU WANT TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.
  • 8.5   Purchase Orders. Customer agrees that it will pay all amounts owed, including recurring charges, without requiring any purchase orders or reference(s) to purchase order numbers. If a purchase order is required, then Customer will promptly notify SignMyForm at least thirty (30) days prior to such requirement and the parties will cooperate in good faith in implementing a billing process that includes references such purchase order numbers. Customer agrees that any purchase orders are for administrative purposes only and that any non-administrative terms (including, but not limited to legal, security, privacy, or finance terms) contained in its purchase order(s) do not apply to its purchase or use of SignMyForm services.
  • 8.6   No Refunds. Subscription and usage or overage fees (and any other fees associated with the services, including higher subscription fees for upgrades) are non-refundable and non-creditable, except where required by law. SignMyForm subscriptions may be cancelled, and such cancellations take effect at the end of your then-current subscription term (for example, if you are on a paid monthly subscription the cancellation will take effect the following month, but if you are on a paid yearly subscription the cancellation will take effect the following year). Once your cancellation is effective, you will be downgraded to a free plan and will lose subscription features and functionality. If you don’t pay for your subscription(s) on time, we reserve the right to suspend you or remove subscription features
  • 8.7   Late Fees & Collection Costs. Late payments may be subject to a service charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law. You agree to reimburse SignMyForm for any costs or expenses incurred by SignMyForm to collect amounts that remain unpaid after the due date. Amounts due to SignMyForm may not be withheld or offset by you against amounts due for any reason.

‍

9    TERM AND TERMINATION
  • 9.1  Term.   These Terms are effective until all Subscription Terms for the SignMyForm Services have expired or are terminated as expressly permitted herein.
  • 9.2   Subscription Term and Renewals. Customer agrees to pay applicable fees for the entire Subscription Term. Customer cannot cancel or terminate a Subscription Term except as expressly permitted by Section 9.4 (Termination for Cause). If no subscription start date is specified on the applicable order form, the subscription starts when Customer first obtains access to the applicable SignMyForm Service. Each Subscription Term will automatically renew for additional successive periods equal to the initial subscription (e.g. if Customer has an annual plan then the subscription will renewal for an additional 12 month term, if Customer has a monthly plan then the subscription will renewal for additional month terms) unless: (i) otherwise stated on the applicable order form; or (ii) either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current Subscription Term. Pricing for any Subscription Term renewal, new order form, or order form changes will be at SignMyForm’s then-applicable rates.
  • 9.3   Suspension of Service. SignMyForm may suspend Customer’s access to the SignMyForm Services if: (i) Customer’s account is overdue; or (ii) Customer has exceeded its service allocations / service limits. SignMyForm may also suspend Customer’s access to the SignMyForm Services or remove Customer Data if it determines that: (a) Customer has breached any portion of these Terms, or (b) suspension is necessary to prevent harm or liability to other customers or third parties, or to preserve the security, stability, availability or integrity of the SignMyForm Service. SignMyForm will have no liability for taking action as permitted above. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer will remain responsible for payment of fees during any suspension period under this Section 9.3. However, unless these Terms have been terminated, SignMyForm will cooperate with Customer to promptly restore access to the SignMyForm Service once we verify that Customer has resolved the condition requiring suspension.
  • 9.4   Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate these Terms, including any related order form, if the other party: (i) fails to cure any material breach of these Terms (including a failure to pay undisputed fees) within thirty (30) days after written notice detailing the breach; (ii) ceases operation without a successor; or (iii) if permitted by applicable law, seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors’ arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or if any of these proceedings are instituted against that party (and not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter).
  • 9.5   Effect of Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of these Terms or an order form: (i) Customer’s license rights terminate and it must promptly: (a) stop use of the applicable SignMyForm Service; (b) delete (or, at SignMyForm’s request, return) any and all copies of any SignMyForm code, documentation, passwords or access codes, and any other SignMyForm Confidential Information in Customer’s possession, custody, or control; and (ii) Customer’s right to access any Customer Data in the applicable SignMyForm Service will cease and SignMyForm may delete the Customer Data at any time after 30 days from the date of termination. If SignMyForm terminates these Terms for cause as provided in Section 9.4 (Termination for Cause), any payments for the remaining portion of the Subscription Term will become due and must be paid immediately by Customer. Except where these Terms specifies an exclusive remedy, all remedies under these Terms, including termination or suspension, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that may be available to a party.
  • 9.6   Survival. The following Sections survive any expiration or termination of these Terms: 3 (Account Registration and Use); 4.2 (General Restrictions); 4.3 (Beta Releases and Free Access Subscriptions); 5 (Ownership and Feedback); 8 (Payment Terms); 9 (Term and Termination); 11 (Warranties and Disclaimers); 12 (Indemnification Obligations); 13 (Limitations of Liability); 14 (Third-Party Products and Integrations); and 15 (General).

‍‍

10     CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
  • 10.1  Confidential Information “Confidential Information” means (a) for SignMyForm, the SignMyForm Services and Documentation; (b) for Customer, Customer Data; (c) any other information of a party that is disclosed in writing or orally and is designated as confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure (and, in the case of oral disclosures, summarized in writing within thirty (30) days of the initial disclosure and delivered to the recipient), or that due to the nature of the information the recipient would clearly understand it to be confidential information of the disclosing party; and (d) the specific terms and conditions of these Terms, and any amendment and attachment thereof, between the parties.

Each party may share the other party’s Confidential Information with its, and its Affiliates’, employees, agents or contractors having a legitimate need to know (which, for SignMyForm, includes providing the Services and sharing with the subcontractors referenced herein) provided that the party remains responsible for any recipient’s compliance with the terms of this Section 10 and that these recipients are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than these Terms.
  • 10.3 Exclusions. These confidentiality obligations do not apply to (and Confidential Information does not include) information that: (i) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) was known by the receiving party before it received the Confidential Information; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without using the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. A party may also disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to the extent required by law or court order, provided it gives advance notice (if permitted by law) and cooperates in any effort by the other party to obtain confidential treatment for the information.
  • 10.4 Remedies. The parties acknowledge that disclosing Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone may be an insufficient remedy, and so on breach of this Section 10, each party is entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to any other remedies it may have at law.

    • We Both Agree to Arbitrate. You and SignMyForm agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Services through final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. This includes disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this “Mandatory Arbitration Provisions” section, including its enforceability, revocability, or validity.
    • Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate within 30 days of first registering your account by contacting us at info@centratechsolutions.com.

The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania in the United States, or any other location, if both parties agree to that location. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.
    • Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or SignMyForm may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania to resolve your claim.
    • NO CLASS ACTIONS. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Mandatory Arbitration Provisions” section will be deemed void.
  • 15.10   Amendments; Waivers. Any modification or amendment to these Terms must be made in writing and executed by an authorized representative of each party. However, if SignMyForm modifies these Terms or any applicable Service Specific Terms during Customer’s Subscription Term, the modified version will take effect upon Customer’s next Subscription Term renewal. In addition: (a) If SignMyForm launches new products or optional features that require opt-in acceptance of new terms, those terms will apply upon Customer’s acceptance or use; (b) changes to any terms will take effect immediately for Free Access Subscriptions; and (c) during a Subscription Term, SignMyForm may update SignMyForm’s Security page, Privacy Policy, and Service Specific Terms from time-to-time to reflect process improvements or changing practices, and these changes will take effect thirty (30) days from the date of posting so long as they do not substantially diminish Customer’s rights or create substantial additional Customer obligations during a Subscription Term. SignMyForm’s documentation is available online and constantly being developed and improved, and as a result, during a Subscription Term SignMyForm may update the documentation to reflect best practice with the relevant SignMyForm Service, provided that these changes do not substantially diminish Customer’s rights or create substantial Customer obligations. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any order form, these Terms will take precedence unless otherwise expressly provided. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under these Terms. Waivers must be made in writing and executed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. The waiver by either you or SignMyForm of any breach of any provision of these Terms does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to these Terms to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with these Terms will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of these Terms.
  • 15.11   Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms may otherwise remain in effect.
