These Terms will also govern your use of any new features that augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new 2020 resources (unless different terms apply to such resources). In addition to the Terms and unless otherwise noted, the 2020 Desktop Software License and Support Terms governs the use of software purchased through the Website and the 2020 Cloud Content Terms of Use and Service govern your use of any of our content in the cloud (“CiC”) services. Any personal information you provide through the Website will be dealt in accordance with 2020’s Privacy Policy. If you currently have in effect a separate written purchase or license agreement with 2020 for a software product, in which case that separate agreement governs in relation thereto. If there is a conflict between: (a) these Terms; (b) the Desktop Software License and Support Terms; or (c) the Cloud Content Terms of Use and Service then these Terms will prevail if the issue relates to use of the Website, the Standard License will prevail if relates to the use and license of one of our desktop software products and finally, the Cloud Content Terms of Use and Service will prevail if the issue relates to cloud content services.
2. YOUR ACCOUNT
2.1. The Website enables you to create an Account. This Account gives you access to Services and information which would not otherwise be accessible to you. When this Account is combined with other 2020 products and services, it may grant you other privileges (e.g. enabling cloud access to your desktop licenses). You are entirely responsible for how you use your Account. In some situations, your Account can enable you to grant certain rights to others to use or administer a 2020 software license that you purchased. You are entirely responsible for the management of such rights and shall make sure that such users and/or administrators comply with the Terms. 2020 explicitly and specifically disclaims any responsibility or liability resulting from your use of the Account or any rights granted to others.
2.2. In consideration of your use of the Services, you agree to be solely responsible for: (a) providing true, accurate, current, and complete information about You as prompted by the Website when creating a Website or otherwise (the “Account Information”), and (b) maintaining and promptly updating the Account Information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You are solely responsible for the security of your password. 2020 is not liable for any unauthorized use of the Website or Services. You acknowledge and agree that certain Services may provide you with password-restricted access to your information such as names and certain terms of your existing contracts to assist you in purchasing, maintaining and supporting your 2020 software or services. By using this Website and registering for the Services, you consent to 2020’s display of such information via the Services. Despite 2020’s reasonable efforts to secure its password-restricted section of the Website in accordance with industry standard practices, 2020 cannot guarantee that the information communicated over the internet will be secure. Therefore, you accept all risks of unauthorized access to such information. For additional information on how 2020 handles personal information, please consult 2020’s Privacy Policy.
2.3. If you provide any information that is false, inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete, or 2020 has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is false, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, 2020 may suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of, or access to, the Services (or any portion thereof).
3. CONFIDENTIALITY OF 2020 INFORMATION
In order to gain access to the Services, you agree to these confidentiality provisions:
3.1. You acknowledge that you may obtain direct access via the Website to certain 2020 confidential information (hereafter “Information” in these Terms). You must hold Information in strict confidence and may provide Information to employees in your organization only on a need-to-know basis. You may use the Information from the Website solely for the purpose of purchasing, maintaining and supporting your 2020 software and services. Title to Information remains with 2020 and its suppliers. You agree, either as an individual or on behalf of your employer, to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3. Furthermore, if you are acting on behalf of your employer, your employer agrees to indemnify you for violations of this Section 3.
3.2. You do not acquire any rights in Information, except the limited right to use Information as described above.
3.3. Any breach of Section 3 will result in irreparable harm to 2020 for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, 2020 will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if 2020 seeks such an injunction.
3.4. Your obligations regarding Information expire five (5) years after the date of disclosure. Upon termination of the Terms or 2020’s written request, you must cease use of Information and return or destroy all Information.
3.5. The Terms impose no obligation upon you with respect to Information that you can establish by legally sufficient evidence: (a) you possessed, or knew, prior to your receipt from 2020, without an obligation to maintain its confidentiality; (b) is or becomes generally known to the public through no act or omission by you, or otherwise without violation of the Terms; (c) you obtained from a third party who had the right to disclose it, without an obligation to keep such information confidential; (d) you independently developed without the use of Information and without the participation of individuals who have had access to Information, or (e) in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body, as otherwise required by law, or as necessary to establish the rights of either party under these Terms and as disclosed after prior notice to 2020 adequate to afford 2020 the opportunity to object to the disclosure.
