Terms & Conditions

2. Service Plans. SDA makes the Fence.Cloud web application and related services available through the SDA Fence.Cloud SaaS application (the “Service(s)”) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. When you made your Customer Inputs, you selected a specific subscription (e.g., monthly, annual) (the “Selected Plan”). You can use the Selected Plan until the Services are terminated. You can also upgrade or downgrade the Selected Plan at the start of a Renewal Term (as defined in Section 8 below). If you do upgrade or downgrade the Selected Plan, you will be charged the new fees on the new payment schedule based on the new Selected Plan you chose. “Users” means Customer’s employees, consultants, contractors or agents who are authorized to use the Services and have been supplied User Credentials (defined below) by SDA. Customer shall have the right to designate a fixed number of Users (as set forth in the Selected Plan).
3. Service Terms. Subject to this Agreement, SDA will provide the Services to your Users based on the Selected Plan you chose. The Services are provided by using a mix of SDA proprietary technology and services and other products and services provided by third parties (“Third Party Tools”). SDA provides these Third Party Tools to you and you agree to use them only in connection with your use of the Services and not for any other purpose. When using the Third Party Tools, you agree to abide by the terms of use governing those Third Party Tools. Each User will be assigned a unique User identification name and password for access to and use of the Service (“User Credentials”). Customer shall be responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality of all User Credentials. The Service shall be used only by Users. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement by its Users or any other employee, agent or contractor of Customer shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Customer and that Customer shall ensure its Users and other employees, agents and contractor comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
4. Service Description. The Services allow you to enter materials costs and create a digital plan of your fencing project (the “Plan”). The Services will provide an estimate of your materials costs for the Plan (the “Service Output”) based on materials costs entered by you or otherwise obtained by SDA from third parties. You acknowledge and agree that (i) materials cost data does not originate with SDA and SDA has no control over such material costs data and shall have no liability for the accuracy or inaccuracy of such materials cost data and (ii) the Services are for informational purposes only and that any Service Output is an estimate only and none of SDA, its suppliers or its licensors will have any liability whatsoever for the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the Service Output or for any decision made or action taken by you or your customers in reliance upon any Service Output or other information obtained by Customer through the Service. SDA reserves the right to withdraw or modify the Services, and any service or material SDA provides as part of the Services, in SDA’s sole discretion without notice. SDA will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Service is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, SDA may restrict access to some parts of the Services, or the entirety of the Services, to some or all of its users, including you.
5. Ownership and License. As between you and SDA, you own all data you provide or make available to SDA using the Services (“Customer Data”).

Customer shall not provide Customer Data that: (i) infringes or violates any intellectual property rights, publicity/privacy rights, law or regulation, or is defamatory, harmful to minors or obscene; (ii) contains any viruses or programming routines intended to damage, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information; or (iii) is materially false or misleading.
6. Data Retention. Customer agrees that SDA’s obligation to maintain any Customer Data obtained in the course of providing the Service shall not extend beyond 60-days after the later of any termination or expiration of this Agreement (the “Data Retention Cutoff”). Customer may reasonably request a copy of Customer Data prior to the Data Retention Cutoff, delivered in a format determined by SDA.
7. Suggestions. Customer hereby grants, and shall execute any appropriate documentation evidencing said grant, to SDA a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to use or incorporate into the Service any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by Customer or any Users relating to the Service including its operation, features and interfaces.
8. Term. The initial term of this Agreement is specified in the Selected Plan (“Initial Term”). Unless you notify SDA either online or in writing that you wish to cancel this Agreement before the end of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, then this Agreement will keep automatically renewing under the same Selected Plan for the same period of time as the Initial Term (“Renewal Term”). Together the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms are the “Term.” If you do properly cancel this Agreement, then this Agreement will terminate on the last day of the Initial Term or the applicable Renewal Term. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party has materially breached any part of this Agreement and has failed to cure that breach within 30 days of its receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party describing the breach. If you violate any part of this Agreement, including by not making timely payments, SDA may immediately suspend the Services without limiting SDA’s other rights and remedies.
9. Termination. If Customer (i) fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement and such default is not, or cannot be, remedied within ten (10) days after notice thereof by SDA, or (ii) uses the Service in a manner not permitted by this Agreement, then SDA shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement by written notice to Customer, and to pursue any other rights and remedies allowed at law or in equity. SDA may also terminate this Agreement at any time by providing Customer with at least 30 days’ prior written notice. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing SDA with at least 30 days’ prior written notice, and any such termination shall not be effective until the end of the then-current Renewal Term after such 30 day period. For purposes of example only, if Selected Plan is a monthly plan beginning on January 1, and Customer provides notice of termination under this Section 9 on February 15, then the effective date of termination will be March 31. As a further example, if Selected Plan is an annual plan beginning on January 1, and Customer provides notice of termination on August 15, then the effective date of termination will be December 31 of that year. As a final example, As a further example, if Selected Plan is an annual plan beginning on January 1, and Customer provides notice of termination on December 15, then the effective date of termination will be December 31 of the following year.
