The Agreement is a legally binding contract between you and Tontine LLC. To access the Tontine Platform, you must be able to enter into a legally binding contract, and represent that you are at least 18 years old or, if a business, duly organized and legally in good standing.
Our collection and use of personal information in connection with Customer’s and Authorized Users’ access to and use of the Services is described in our Privacy Policy.
We may translate this Agreement into other languages for your convenience. Nevertheless, the English version governs your relationship with us, and any inconsistencies among the different versions will be resolved in favor of the English version available here. We may also update the Agreement from time to time. If we materially update any portion of the Agreement, we will notify you, at the email address provided in your Account profile, or other reasonable means (for example, by posting a notice on our website) before the date the update becomes effective. We will also post the updated Agreement in its original location marked with the new date. Changes will not be retroactive nor affect your current Subscription Term. Your renewal of your Subscription Term after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these Terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms.
A. Your Right to Use the Services
During the Subscription Term, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use and access the Services described in the applicable Order Form, pursuant to terms of this Subscription Agreement and the relevant Order Form. Your use of the Services includes the right to access all functionality available in the purchased Services in accordance with the package(s) (and any applicable usage limitations) chosen on the Order Form, as of the effective date of such Order Form. The Services may require installation of Tontine Code on Customer Properties. In these cases, subject to the same conditions above, the rights granted in this Section further include the right to install and use the relevant Tontine Code on the Customer Properties.
B. Your Services Account
If you registering an Account as an administrator of the Services on behalf of a business, organization or other legal entity, (a) you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind that entity and to grant us all permissions and licenses provided in this Agreement; (b) the words “you” and “your” used in this Agreement mean the entity registering the Account, in addition to you, an individual Authorized User; (c) you are responsible for administering Customer’s access to the Services by adding and removing Authorized Users at the Company’s direction; and (d) you shall not allow access to or use of the Services by anyone other than Authorized Users.
Authorized Users agree to: (i) not share your Account or transfer any part of it to anyone else; (ii) provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and keep your Account up-to-date; and (iii) keep your password secure and confidential. We reserve the right to refuse registration of, or cancel passwords that we deem inappropriate. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account and are responsible for anything that happens through your Account prior to closing it or reporting misuse to us.

You consent to our using of the email address you provide in your Account to send you Services-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by other means such as postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to Services features, special offers, or Services-related newsletters. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may unsubscribe as directed in the applicable communication. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers.
C. Usage Limitations
You may only use the Services on one Customer Property per subscription, unless otherwise specified in your Order Form. The Services may be subject to additional limitations, such as, for example, numerical limits on Visitors or Authorized Users specific to the type of subscription you purchase. We will specify these limitations in the Order Form for the applicable subscription package. If we make modifications to these limits that would negatively impact you, these modifications will not apply to you until the start of your next Subscription Term, if any.
D. Services Updates
Your use of the Services includes the right to access all functionality available in the product to which you subscribed in the Order Form, on the effective date of such Order Form. We may enhance and modify the Tontine Platform and introduce new Services from time to time but will provide you with notice unless such changes are of minor nature with no material effect on our contractual obligations. Except with respect to Trials (as defined in Section 3(D) below), we will not make changes to the Services that materially reduce the functionality you purchased for the applicable Subscription Term. To the extent we make available any new or different features, functionality or enhancements to the Services, we will market these separately and may require the payment of additional fees. Documentation is available online and constantly being developed and improved, and as a result, during a Subscription Term we may update the Documentation to reflect best practice with the relevant Services, provided that these changes do not substantially diminish your rights or create substantial Customer obligations. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification of the Services in keeping with this section.
E. Third-Party Services and Platforms
Certain elements of the Services may be provided through Third Party Services providers, including third party e-commerce platforms. Your use of any such Third Party Services is subject to the terms of service governing such websites and services. You understand and agree that the availability of the Services, or certain features and functions thereof, is dependent on the corresponding availability of Third Party Services or specific features and functions of Third Party Services through which we make certain elements of the Services available. We are not responsible for any interruptions or issues with the Services caused by Third Party Services, and make no representation or warranty regarding Third Party Services, whether or not we recommend, certify, or otherwise approve a Third Party Service for use with the Services. Your dealings with or participation with Third Party Services are solely between you and the applicable Third Party Service providers. You agree that we are not responsible for any loss or damage of any sort relating to your dealings with Third Party Services, and that your Agreement and our Privacy Policy do not apply to your use of such Third Party Services.
You agree to not take any action that would cause Tontine, the Services or the Tontine Code to become subject to any third-party terms (including open-source license terms). If you receive any take down requests or infringement notices related to Customer Data or your use of Third Party Services, you must promptly: (a) stop using the related item with the Services; and (b) notify Tontine. If Tontine receives any take down requests or infringement notices related to Customer Data or your use of Third Party Services, we may respond in accordance with our policies, and will notify and consult with you on next steps.
A. Subscription Fees
Unless otherwise provided in your Order Form, all Subscription Fees are payable by credit card or other payment method permitted by us from time to time, and you authorize us to charge your credit card or bank account for all fees payable during the Subscription Term, at the start of the applicable billing period specified in your Order Form (i.e., monthly or annually). You further authorize us to use a third party to process payments, and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third parties.
Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, Subscription Fees for the Subscription Term are non-refundable, including in the event of a suspension or termination pursuant to Section 12(C) (Termination and Suspension) below. In the event your usage increases over the limitations set forth in your Order Form, we reserve the right to charge or invoice you for the subscription package pertaining for your usage, on a prorated basis and less Subscription Fees you have already paid for the Subscription Term, commencing on the first day of the month of the Subscription Term in which the usage exceeded the applicable limit.
B. Non-Refundable Payments
All payments made under this Agreement are final, non-refundable, and non-cancelable upon processing, except as otherwise provided in writing within the applicable Order Form. You acknowledge that once payment is made, Tontine has committed resources to provide the Services, and you waive any rights to claim a refund or credit, whether in full or in part, for payments related to the Subscription Term. This non-refundable payment policy applies to all Services purchased, including one-time fees, recurring subscription fees, and any additional fees for exceeding usage limits.
C. Payment Terms
Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Form, you agree to pay any invoiced amounts within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date. We reserve the right to charge interest on late payments at the rate of 1.5% per month or 18% per annum, calculated on a monthly basis on the outstanding balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is higher, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. If any payment is thirty (30) or more days overdue, we may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, suspend your access to the Services until such amounts are paid in full. All amounts payable under this Agreement will be made without setoff or counterclaim. Payments are non-refundable and non-creditable and payment obligations non-cancellable. You are responsible for all applicable sales, use, VAT, GST, excise, withholding, or similar taxes or levies, whether domestic or foreign, other than taxes (“Taxes”) imposed on the transaction or the delivery of Services, except Taxes based on our net income. If you are paying by credit card, you authorize Tontine to charge Subscription Fees or other amounts due automatically to your credit card without invoice.
D. Anti-Chargeback Provision
You agree that any chargebacks filed against fees paid for the Services are subject to review and verification by Tontine. Chargebacks initiated without valid cause, as determined by Tontine’s reasonable discretion, are deemed unjust and will be considered a material breach of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that any unjust chargeback will be subject to a penalty fee of $500 or 10% of the total chargeback amount, whichever is greater, in addition to the amount subject to the chargeback. This fee is intended to compensate for the administrative and legal costs incurred in contesting such chargebacks. Tontine reserves the right to pursue all legal remedies, including reporting such action to credit reporting agencies and collection services, to recover chargeback amounts and associated fees.
E. Billing Pauses & Suspensions
You are entitled to request, and we reserve the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to suspend billing for the Subscription Fee if such a bona fide need arises. Such suspension shall not exceed one (1) calendar month or one (1) billing cycle, whichever is earlier, and may only occur once every six (6) months. During any such suspension, you are required to engage in good faith communication with us to ensure the continued validity and good standing of your account. Following the conclusion of the suspended billing period, billing will automatically resume according to the standard billing schedule outlined in the Order Form until the conclusion of the Subscription Term, unless you choose to terminate the contract in accordance with Section 12(C) (Termination and Suspension), in which case you must settle any outstanding balance arising from the notice period and fulfill all other contractual obligations. Failure to enforce this provision does not imply a waiver or limitation of our right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with it.
F. Free Trial Services
We may make Services to which you have subscribed on a free trial basis (a “Trial”) available to you until the earlier of: (a) the end of the then-current Trial period offered by us, (b) the start date of any paid Services you order, or (c) the date on which we elect in our sole discretion to terminate your access to the Trial (the “Trial Term”). You acknowledge and agree that the features and functionality of the Services may be limited during the Trial Term. In addition, any changes made to Customer Data (by you or for you) during the Trial Term may be permanently lost unless you purchase a subscription to the same or upgraded Services to those covered during the Trial Term. We reserve the right to delete Customer Data following the Trial Term to the extent you do not purchase a paid subscription within seven (7) days following the end of the Trial Term. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY THIS AGREEMENT. WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY WARRANTY, SUPPORT OR INDEMNIFICATION OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES DURING THE TRIAL TERM.
A. License to your Customer Data

You are responsible for obtaining and providing relevant account information and passwords for any Third Party Services from which the Services collect your account information or data. We will use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to secure Customer Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, given the risks inherent with the internet, we are not responsible or liable for failure to store Customer Data or other materials you may transmit through the Services, except to the extent required by Applicable Law and as noted in our Privacy Policy. We recommend that you take measures to preserve copies of Customer Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that Tontine may collect, analyze, use and disclose data derived from Customer Data in de-identified form, in which all Personal Information (defined below), including direct and indirect identifiers, have been permanently removed or obscured so the remaining information may not reasonably identify or be linked to an individual (“De-Identified Data”), for any purpose permitted under Applicable Law, including, without limitation, (a) to compile statistical and performance information and analytics related to the provision and operation of the Services; (b) to enhance and improve the Services; (c) to develop and train Tontine's artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities; and (d) to conduct internal research, development, and marketing.

You agree that we may use and publish the Tontine Data, provided that such information does not incorporate any Customer Data or identify you, Authorized Users or Visitors, and is stripped of all persistent identifiers (such as device identifiers, IP addresses, and cookie IDs). We retain all intellectual property rights in the Tontine Data.
C. Your Responsibility for Customer Data

You represent and warrant that you or your Authorized Users own or have the necessary permissions to use, and authorize the use of, the Customer Data as described herein.
D. Our Right to Remove Customer Data
We have the absolute right to remove or disable access to any Customer Data on the Tontine Platform as needed to (a) operate, secure and improve the Services (including without limitation for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes); (b) ensure Authorized Users’ compliance with the Agreement (or any Tontine policy), Applicable Law, or an order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; or (c) as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. If we become aware of any Customer Data that allegedly violates this Agreement, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to act, but have no liability or responsibility to you to do so. You agree to cooperate with us in good faith, as we may reasonably request, in any investigation we choose to undertake.

TONTINE'S (INCLUDING ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES) MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR LOSSES OR DAMAGES THAT YOU SUFFER IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO TONTINE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM IN WHICH THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OCCURRED, OR (B) $100. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW, TONTINE SHALL NOT BE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, OPPORTUNITIES, REPUTATION, PROFITS OR REVENUES, RELATED TO THE TONTINE PLATFORM OR SERVICES. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN TONTINE AND YOU.
A. Subscription Term and Renewal
By executing an Order Form for purchase of Services, you are agreeing to pay applicable fees for the entire Subscription Term. You cannot cancel or terminate a Subscription Term except as expressly permitted by Section 12(C) (Termination and Suspension). If no subscription start date is specified on the applicable Order Form, the subscription starts when you first obtain access to the Services. Each Subscription Term will automatically renew monthly, or for additional successive twelve-month periods as specified in the Order Form, 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 Tontine's then-applicable rates. This Agreement is effective until all Subscription Terms for the Services(s) have expired or are terminated as expressly permitted in this Agreement.
B. Mandatory Minimum Subscription Term ("Minimum Subscription Term")
By executing an Order Form for purchase of Services, you are agreeing to the Minimum Subscription Term as stated in your Order Form, and you hereby irrevocably acknowledge and agree that: (i) this Minimum Subscription Term is necessary for us to begin effectuating the delivery of Services; (ii) it cannot be waived under any circumstances whatsoever, even if this Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the Minimum Subscription Term by either party; and (iii) you are responsible for the sum of all fees that shall be due and payable at the end of the Minimum Subscription Term, even if this Agreement is terminated (for any reason whatsoever) prior to the completion of Minimum Subscription Term. Furthermore, you acknowledge that should you choose to terminate this Agreement prior to the completion of the Minimum Subscription Term, all fees due at the end of the Minimum Subscription Term will become due immediately and must be paid by you without delay. Lastly, the Minimum Subscription Term must be completed consecutively and uninterrupted.
C. Termination and Suspension
Either party may terminate this Agreement in the ordinary course of business, or due to convenience, with a minimum of thirty (30) days written notice to the counterparty. Furthermore, we may terminate this Agreement, including any related Order Form, if you: (a) fail to cure any material breach of this Agreement (including a failure to pay undisputed fees) within thirty (30) days after written notice detailing the breach; (b) cease operation without a successor; or (c) if permitted by applicable law, seek protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors’ arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or if any of these proceedings are instituted against you (and not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter). In addition, we may suspend or immediately terminate this Agreement with respect to a Customer or an Authorized User, and any related Order Forms, immediately in the event of a breach of Sections 5 (Acceptable Use of the Services) or 6 (Privacy), if your account is overdue; if you have exceeded your usage limits, or for repeated violations of this Agreement. We will have no liability for taking action as permitted above. For the avoidance of doubt, you will remain responsible for payment of fees during any suspension period under this Section 12(C). However, unless this Agreement has been terminated, we will cooperate with you to promptly restore access to the Services once we verify that you have resolved the condition requiring suspension.
D. Effect of Termination
Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement or an Order Form: (a) your license rights terminate and you must promptly: (i) stop use of the Services(s); (ii) stop distributing any Tontine Code installed on your Customer Properties; and (iii) delete (or, at our request, return) any and all copies of the Tontine Code, any Documentation, passwords or access codes, and any other Tontine Confidential Information in your possession, custody, or control; and (b) your right to access any Customer Data and Reports in the applicable Services will cease and Tontine may delete the Customer Data and Reports at any time after thirty (30) days from the date of termination. If we terminate this Agreement for cause as provided in Section 12(C) (Termination and Suspension), any payments for the remaining portion of the Subscription Term will become due and must be paid immediately by you. Except where this Agreement specifies an exclusive remedy, all remedies under this Agreement, including termination or suspension, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that may be available to a party. In the event that we permanently suspend your Account, during a Subscription Term pursuant to Section 12(C) (Termination or Suspension) above, you are not entitled to a restoration of your Account or any of your Customer Data. If we have suspended your individual Authorized User Account, you may not register a new Account or access and use the Services through an Account of another user. All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, indemnification, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
E. No Damages for Termination
TONTINE SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER, DAMAGES TO YOU OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 12.

We reject any additional or different terms proposed by you, those contained in your purchase order, acceptance or website. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Terms of Service and an Order Form, the terms of the Order Form shall control, but only as to that Order Form. You may not assign or transfer your rights and benefits under this Agreement without our prior written consent, but we may assign or transfer this Agreement without restriction. Except as set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any rights or benefits on any third party. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
No waiver, amendment, modification or addition to this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both you and us. In the event any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision herein. To the extent allowed by Applicable Law, you agree that you will bring any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to your access or use of the Services within two (2) years from the date on which such claim or action arose or accrued or such claim or cause of action will be irrevocably waived.

This is a non-exclusive arrangement.

If you have any issues with the Services, Tontine, or any issue covered by this Agreement, you must try to resolve the issue first through Tontine Support. If you are not able to resolve the issue through Tontine customer support within sixty (60) days, you may pursue the dispute resolution procedures detailed in the remainder of Section 17.
B. Agreement to Arbitrate
ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES, TONTINE PLATFORM, OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE INTEGRATED WITH THE TONTINE PLATFORM, AS WELL AS ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING TO OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING UNDER TONTINE’S PRIVACY POLICY, AND ANY APPLICABLE ADDITIONAL TERMS), SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. THE TERMS IN THIS SECTION ARE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.” THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT APPLIES TO ALL SUCH CLAIMS, BROUGHT UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, UNLESS THE CLAIM FITS IN ONE OF THE EXCEPTIONS IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 17(C).
This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), including its procedural provisions, in all respects. This means that the FAA governs, among other things, the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and all of its provisions, including, without limitation, the class action waiver discussed below. State arbitration laws do not govern in any respect.
This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted and will survive termination of this Agreement, which means (among other things) that this Arbitration Agreement applies even after you have stopped using the Tontine Platform/Services or have deleted it. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by law to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable. If the parties have a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced, whether this Arbitration Agreement applies to a dispute, or any other dispute about the meaning or scope of this Arbitration Agreement, the parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve the dispute.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow this Agreement as a court would. For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitrator can award public injunctive relief.
In the event this Arbitration Agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable or inapplicable to a claim, any litigation against Tontine (except for the intellectual property and small claims actions described in Section 17(C) below) may be commenced only pursuant to Section 13 (Choice of Law and Venue).
In an arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator will not be entitled to modify this Agreement, and may not award any relief that is inconsistent with this Agreement. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties. Judgement may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
C. Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Tontine agree that the agreement to arbitrate will not apply to any disputes relating to Tontine’s intellectual property (e.g., trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights or patents) and that such disputes may be brought in any court that has jurisdiction over such claims. Also, either party can bring a claim in small claims court in Wilmington, Delaware (or small claims court in another place if both parties agree in writing), if it qualifies to be brought in that court.
D. Class Action Waiver
You and Tontine agree that any claims or controversies between the parties must be brought against each other on an individual basis only, and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. That means neither you nor Tontine can bring such a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine or consolidate more than one person’s or one entity’s claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless all parties agree otherwise in writing). Further, the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other entities or Tontine customers, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other customers. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-WIDE OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION, AND YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (INCLUDING FOR ANY CLAIM THAT IS DETERMINED NOT TO BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS). If a court decides that this class action waiver is not enforceable or valid, then the entire agreement to arbitrate will be null and void, but the rest of this Agreement will still apply.
