IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:  BY USING THE VAULT OR ANY RELATED SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, REGISTERING FOR A VAULT ACCOUNT, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS UA.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE SO BOUND, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE VAULT OR OUR OTHER SERVICES.  THIS UA IS A LEGAL CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU (EITHER AN INDIVIDUAL OR A SINGLE BUSINESS ENTITY) AND FORNEY AND GOVERNS YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF OUR SERVICES.  VAULT AND ANY RELATED FORNEY SERVICES ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERSONS OR ENTITIES WHO ARE NOT LEGALLY ELIGIBLE TO BE BOUND BY THIS UA. IF YOU DO NOT OR CANNOT AGREE TO BE SO BOUND, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE VAULT OR ANY RELATED FORNEY SERVICES.

Vault and our other Services are intended for adults eighteen (18) years of age or older.  By accessing Vault or using any other Services, you represent that you are eighteen (18) years of age or older.

This UA only applies to Vault and the Services identified above. Other products or services owned or controlled by Forney may have their own governing agreement and should be reviewed. For example, Forney may offer other services or promotions that have their own terms of use or rules, and if any portion of this UA conflicts with the special terms of use or rules for any such Forney promotion, the conflicting portion of the special terms or rules will govern for that specific promotion unless stated otherwise. Forney’s business customers may enter into a separate primary agreement with Forney for different products and services that we provide, and to the extent any portion of such separate primary agreement between Forney and its applicable customer conflicts with any term in this UA, the terms of the applicable primary agreement between Forney and its customer will govern for that specific portion.

Any person establishing a Vault-related account on behalf of a company or other organization and who clicks the “I Agree” button at the bottom of this UA or otherwise takes steps to be bound by this UA represents and warrants that: (A) they are authorized to legally bind the company or other organization that will use the account to the terms of this UA; and (B) such entity has full power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to enter into this UA and perform its obligations hereunder.  As used in this UA, “you” refers to the registered company or organization (or person, if a sole proprietor or employee of the company or organization) on the Vault-related account, unless specifically stated otherwise.

As part of the registration process, you shall select a password and a subscriber ID.  You shall provide Forney with certain registration information, all of which must be accurate and updated as appropriate.  You may only register for one account in connection with Vault and our other Services, which must be done in the legal name of the company or other entity that will use the account.  You may not: (A) select or use a subscriber ID of another party with the intent to impersonate that party; (B) use a subscriber ID in which another party has rights without such party’s authorization; (C) provide false or misleading information regarding the company or other entity that will use the account; or (D) use a subscriber ID that Forney, in its sole discretion, deems offensive.  Failure to comply with the foregoing shall constitute a breach of this UA, which may result in immediate termination or rejection of your account and/or right to use the Vault or any related Services.  You shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and subscriber ID.  You agree to immediately notify Forney of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your account or password, or any known or suspected breach of security in relation to Vault or our Services, including loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure of your password and/or subscriber ID.

You are responsible for all usage or activity that occurs through your account for the Services, including any unauthorized use of such account.  If Forney suspends or terminates your account under this UA, you may request that information and content associated with such account be transferred to you, provided that your account standing is otherwise satisfactory.

You may cancel your account for the Services at any time.

Forney reserves the right to comply and cooperate with any and all legal requirements, legal authorities, and/or law enforcement agencies regarding the investigation of, or request to disclose, information related to the data you make available to Vault, our other Services, and/or any Equipment.  You waive and hold harmless Forney from any claims resulting from any action taken by Forney during or as a result of Forney’s investigation and/or from any actions taken as a consequence of investigations by either Forney or law enforcement.

Forney reserves the right to refuse, delete or edit any data you make available to Vault, any Equipment or our other Services without cause, for any or no reason including, but not limited to, for any action that Forney determines is inappropriate or disruptive to Vault or our other Services, other users of Vault or our other Services, and/or any Equipment.  Forney will make reasonable efforts to provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure unacceptable data if possible.  However, if, in Forney’s sole judgment, data you make available to Vault, our other Services and/or any Equipment represents an immediate and ongoing threat to the integrity of Vault or our Services, or any data stored therein, then Forney reserves the right to take immediate action to safeguard Vault and other Services’ integrity, including immediate deletion, editing or cessation of further data transfer to/from Vault or our other Services.

Forney is under no duty to, and does not represent that it will, monitor, edit, and/or remove any data you make available to Vault, our other Services, and/or any related Equipment.

This list of prohibitions is not exclusive.  Forney reserves the right to terminate your access to Vault or our other Services for any reason if your actions are inconsistent with the intended uses and Purposes of Vault, the Equipment or our other Services.

Vault and certain other Services may include technological protection measures that effectively control access, reproduction or distribution of information provided.  Any attempt to tamper or dismantle these protections is a breach of this UA and may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 and other laws and regulations.

You will only access Vault and our other Services for your own use and not to resell access to or use of Vault, any Equipment or our other Services to any other user, customer or other third party without the express written consent of Forney.

You may have the option of accessing Vault via a third-party laboratory information management system (“LIMS”).  The LIMS would gain access to Vault through a Forney-provided application program interface (“API”).  The API would allow a LIMS to read/write concrete specimen data to Vault which could then be downloaded to the appropriate Equipment.  You agree not to use a LIMS or other third-party service to improperly access protected areas of Vault, our other Services and/or Forney’s computer systems.  You further agree not to assist any LIMS with conducting improper or illegal behavior related to Vault or any related Services, including but not limited to, the theft of any Forney intellectual property.  If you become aware of any improper or illegal behavior involving the use of a LIMS to access Vault or use any other Services, you agree to immediately cease use of the specific LIMS and notify Forney.  Forney reserves the right to terminate a LIMS’s use of the Forney API and/or the LIMS’s access to Vault or our other Services for any reason without prior or current notice to you.  Forney is under no duty to offer any LIMS access to Vault.

By accepting this UA, you waive and hold harmless Forney from any claims resulting from any action taken by Forney during or as a result of Forney’s investigation and/or from any actions taken as a consequence of investigations by either Forney or law enforcement related to your use of Vault or our other Services.

You represent and warrant that:

(A) You will use Vault, Equipment and our other Services in accordance with this UA.

(B) The information that you have provided and will provide to Forney is true and accurate.

(C) You own all right, title and interest, including the intellectual property rights, to any data you make available through the Services, or you have been granted the right by the respective owner to make such data available.

(D) You will not make available through the Services any data or content that infringes the rights of any person or entity, including but not limited to, intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or contract rights.

(E) You shall at all times comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect to your use of the Services.

(F) You shall not knowingly or otherwise introduce to or through the Services any viruses or other items of a destructive nature.

(G) You shall comply at all times with the terms of this UA, including any modifications to these terms in accordance with this UA.

(H) You accept sole responsibility for (1) any use of internet facilities to utilize the Services, including the conduct of any business, advertising, marketing or sales in connection therewith, and (2) any negligent or illegal act or omission of you or your agents, contractors, servants, employees, or other users in connection with the use of Vault, Equipment and/or our other Services.

(I) You shall be solely liable for any damages, royalties or fees resulting from any infringement of rights or any other harm resulting from any data you make available through the Services.

Access to Vault is subject to an annual license fee that must be paid in advance (“Annual Fee”) before any access is granted.  In addition to the Annual Fee, you will be charged a monthly “per test” fee for each completed test in excess of the included minimum allotted tests per month per Vault (“Monthly Fees”).  The Monthly Fee will cover all use of Vault, for tests in excess of the monthly allotment, for that one month period.  After the one month period ends, a new Monthly Fee will be charged, as described above, for tests that exceed the included minimum allotted tests per Vault.  In other words, the Annual Fee covers use of Vault up to the monthly allotment, and then the per test Monthly Fee will be charged for tests that exceed the monthly allotment.  All Monthly Fees are non-refundable. Continued access to Vault and other Services may be conditioned on you maintaining timely payments for any Annual Fees or Monthly Fees. Access to the Services may be suspended or terminated in the event of non-payment, if your account becomes inactive, or for any other violations of the terms of this UA. You hereby authorize Forney to charge to your credit or debit card the Annual Fee automatically each year, until valid termination of this UA, with the Annual Fee applying/being charged on the first day of the first month of each yearly period while this UA is in force.  You hereby authorize Forney to charge to your credit or debit card all applicable Monthly Fees for your access to Vault until valid termination of this UA, with Monthly Fees applying/being charged on the last day of each monthly period that you make use of Vault according to the number of tests in excess of the allotted tests, while this UA is in force.  You may cancel this credit/debit card authorization at any time, but such cancellation will be deemed a notice of termination of this UA under Section 9, below, unless alternate payment plans are made with Forney prior to such cancellation. 

You are responsible for all fees and charges incurred in connection with your access to or use of Vault or our other Services, including but not limited to, sales tax, use tax, delivery charges, credit/debit card transaction fees, internet access fees and associated hardware fees or costs to access Vault or our other Services. You agree to indemnify and hold Forney harmless from and against any liabilities, interest, penalties, or fees assessed against you or Forney arising from or related to your failure to pay any applicable taxes.  You are responsible for providing accurate payment information for a valid, unexpired, and below-maximum-balance credit or debit card in good standing (i.e., credit card number, expiration date, card identification (CID) number) and keeping your account current.  You must be authorized to use the payment methods provided. 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive all claims relating to charges, unless claimed within sixty (60) days after the charge.  All payments of Monthly Fees, and any other payments payable pursuant to this UA, must be made in United States Dollars.  Nothing in this UA obligates Forney to extend credit to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, refunds, if any, are at Forney’s sole discretion and shall only be in the form of a credit for Monthly Fees at Forney’s sole option unless otherwise indicated in this UA. 

Forney reserves the right to change the Monthly Fees pursuant to Section 14 of this UA.

Without prejudice to any of Forney’s other rights, if you fail to comply with or violate any portion of this UA, Forney may terminate this UA immediately, deny you access to Vault and/or our other Services, and delete your account for the Services.  In such event, you agree to destroy all copies of Forney Content you possess and all of its component materials whether in electronic form, written form, or otherwise.  No Monthly Fees will be refunded for termination under this paragraph. If more than six (6) months is left in your yearly annual license fee period, then Forney may issue a prorated refund of your then current Annual Fee if the UA is terminated under this paragraph for any reason other than your material breach of this UA.

Other than the termination for cause referenced in the previous paragraph, either party may terminate this UA at any time by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party.  There are no refunds for any Monthly Fees paid in advance of termination if the termination is initiated by you.  Forney may issue a prorated refund of your Annual Fee if you cancel with more than six (6) months left in your yearly annual license fee period.  If Forney terminates under this paragraph, it will issue prorated refunds of the Monthly Fee payment for the month in which the termination becomes effective, and the Annual Fee.  You are responsible for removing all data owned by you from Vault, Equipment or our other Services upon termination.

Vault is intended for use as specified in this UA and in accordance with the documentation accompanying Vault.  It is your responsibility to ascertain whether any additional third-party copyright, patent or other licenses are necessary for your use of data and to obtain any such licenses. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend Forney, its affiliates and suppliers, including their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, representatives, attorneys, business partners, and any other person or entity involved in the creation, production or transmission of Vault or any related Services (collectively, the “Forney Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, costs, damages, liabilities, judgments, awards, fines and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of defense, and direct, indirect, punitive, special, individual, consequential or exemplary damages) Forney or any of the Forney Indemnified Parties suffer in relation to, arising from, or for the purpose of avoiding, any claim or demand from a third party that relates to your use of Vault or our other Services, your breach of this UA, the use of Forney’s Services by any person or entity using your account and password, any third party’s use of Forney Content or Vault data provided by you, or any violation of another party’s rights or any law or regulation.  If you are importing Vault or its associated software from the United States, you shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the Forney Indemnified Parties from and against any import and export duties or other claims arising from such importation. Forney shall provide notice to you of any such indemnification claim, suit or proceeding. Forney reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this Section 10. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests in assisting Forney’s defense of such matter. Your indemnification obligations shall survive the termination of this UA.

YOU AND FORNEY AGREE TO resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy, including all statutory claims and any state or federal claims, that may arise out of or relate to this UA through final and binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will take place before a panel of three arbitrators. Within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the arbitration, each party will designate in writing a single neutral and independent arbitrator. The two arbitrators designated by the parties will then select a third arbitrator. The arbitrators will have an appropriate background in the same or related industries to reasonably prepare them to decide a dispute related to the Services provided under this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association and the terms of this Section 24. The arbitrators will have the authority to permit limited discovery, including depositions, prior to the arbitration hearing, and such discovery will be conducted consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrators will have no power or authority to award punitive or exemplary damages. The arbitrators may, in their discretion, award the cost of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the prevailing party. Any award made may be confirmed in any court having jurisdiction. Any arbitration will be confidential, and except as required by law, neither party may disclose the content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, except that disclosure is permitted to a party’s auditors and legal advisers. By agreeing to arbitration, you and Forney understand and agree to waive any rights to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle any disputes.
