In the event of any such suspension, limitation or termination of access, Morro Systems shall notify you of the reason for such suspension limitation, or termination of access. Morro Systems shall promptly take all reasonable measures to correct any conditions within its control that cause or contribute to the need for such suspension or limitation, and any such suspension or limitation shall last only for so long as the condition justifying it continues to exist.

If, in Morro Systems determination, the suspension might be indefinite and/or Morro Systems has elected to terminate your access to the Service, Morro Systems will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you through the Service and/or by email to the email address associated with your account. You acknowledge that if your access to the Service is suspended or terminated, you may no longer have access to the Content that is stored with the Service.

Upon termination you remain responsible for all fees and charges you have incurred through the date of termination, including fees and charges for in-process tasks completed after the date of termination;

After that Thirty (30) day period, any Content you have stored with the Service will not be retrievable, and we will have no obligation to maintain any data stored in your account.

In addition to other termination provisions, if your account is currently subject to a paid subscription plan with us, we at our discretion may terminate your account if: (a) you did not register your account with a valid payment or (b) you do not pay your subscription within seven (7) days of your last billing cycle end date. In the event of such termination, any Content you may have stored will be lost.

You acknowledge, however, that we may terminate your rights to use the Services and discontinue Services if we do not receive our corresponding payment from the Reseller.

If you purchase a Service other than through a Reseller, then these payment terms apply to your purchase and you agree to them.

The price stated for the Service excludes all taxes and charges, unless stated otherwise. You’re responsible for any taxes and for all other charges incidental to using the Services (for example, data charges and currency exchange settlements).

All fees will be billed to the credit card you designate during the registration process.

You can access and change your billing information at any time signing into your Service billing administrator account. Changes made to your billing account will not affect charges we submit to your billing account before we could reasonably act on your changes to your billing account.

If you tell us to stop using your payment method and we no longer receive payment from you for the paid Service, we may cancel that Service. Your notice to us will not affect charges we submit to your billing account before we reasonably could act on your request.

We may bill you (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; (c) shortly after purchase; (d) in arrears or (e) on a recurring basis for subscription Services. Also, we may charge you up to the amount you have approved, and we will notify you in advance of any change in the amount to be charged for recurring subscription Services. We may bill you at the same time for more than one of your prior billing periods for amounts that haven’t previously been processed. The Services are paid for the billing period selected (monthly, annually or otherwise) and are non-refundable. This includes Accounts that are renewed.

Except as prohibited by law, we may assess a late charge if you do not pay on time. You must pay these late charges when we bill you for them. The late charge will be the lesser of 1.5 percent of the unpaid amount each month or the maximum rate permitted by law. We may use a third party to collect past due amounts. You must pay for all reasonable costs we incur to collect any past due amounts, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and costs. We may suspend or cancel your Service if you fail to pay in full on time.

Recurring Payments. When you purchase the Services on a subscription basis (e.g., monthly, every 3 months or annually (as applicable)), you acknowledge and agree that you are authorizing recurring payment, and payments shall be made to Morro Systems by the payment method you have chosen at the recurring intervals chosen by you, until the subscription for that Service is cancelled by you, in accordance with these terms, or Morro Systems terminates it. You will be billed monthly for the Monthly Subscription Plan on or about the same day each month until such time that you cancel your Monthly Subscription Plan.

By authorizing recurring payments, you are authorizing Morro Systems to process such payments as charges to your designated account (in the case of credit card or similar payments) (collectively, “Electronic Payments”). Subscription fees and incidental charges are billed or charged in advance or arrears of the applicable subscription period. If any payment is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, Morro Systems or its service providers reserve the right to collect any applicable return item, rejection or insufficient funds fee and to process any such payment as an Electronic Payment.

Fees for Upgrade. If you upgrade or expand consumption of the Services (for example, by adding devices to or obtain, access or use additional storage, features or functionality of the Services) (collectively referred to as a Service Upgrade), additional fees may be due at Morro Systems then-current pricing. If additional fees are due, those fees will be charged to your Payment Method on a pro-rata basis at the next billing cycle in which the Service Upgrade occurred.

Fee Increases. We may change the price of the Services at any time and the Services do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering. We will notify you in advance, either through a posting on our website or by email to the address you have most recently provided to us, if we increase Fees or institute new charges or fees. Any increase in Fees will take effect at the beginning of the next renewal subscription term or support period, as applicable. If you don’t agree to these changes, you must cancel and stop using the Services.

Online Statement and Errors. Morro Systems will provide you with an online billing statement on the Services account management website, where you can view and print your statement. This is the only billing statement that we provide. If we make an error on your bill, you must tell us within 60 days after the error first appears on your bill. We will then promptly investigate the charge. If you do not tell us within that time, you release us from all liability and claims of loss resulting from the error and we won’t be required to correct the error or provide a refund. If Morro Systems has identified a billing error, we will correct that error within 90 days.

Refund Policy. Unless otherwise provided by law or by a particular Service offer, all purchases are final and non-refundable. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. This refund policy does not affect any statutory rights that may apply.

Taxes. Fees are exclusive of Taxes and you will pay or reimburse Morro Systems for all Taxes arising out of these Terms, whether assessed at the time of your purchase or are thereafter determined to have been due. For purposes of these Terms, Taxes means any sales, use and other taxes (other than taxes on Morro Systems income), export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges applicable to the transactions contemplated by these Terms that are imposed by any government or other authority. You agree to promptly provide Morro Systems with legally sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction for which you claim exemption.

Canceling the Services. You may cancel a Service at any time, with or without cause. To cancel a Service you must call or contact customer support support@morrodata.com at least Fifteen (15) business days prior to the renewal date. You may lose access to and use of your account when you cancel the Services. If you cancel, your access to the Services ends at the end of your current Service period or, if we bill your account on a periodic basis, at the end of the period in which you canceled. You agree to pay all fees and charges for the subscription, nonrecurring charges, one-time purchases, taxes, fees, surcharges, and assessments applicable to the Service, associated equipment, installation and maintenance, and including all usage and other charges associated with your account

Trial-Period Offers. If you are taking part in any trial-period offer, you must cancel the trial Service(s) by the end of the trial period to avoid incurring new charges, unless we notify you otherwise. If you do not cancel the trial Service(s) by the end of the trial period, we may charge you for the Service(s). We reserve the right to charge you for such Services (at the normal rate) in the event that we determine (in our reasonable discretion) that you are breaching the terms and conditions of the offer.

Payments to You. If we owe you a payment, then you agree to timely and accurately provide us with any information we need to get that payment to you. You are responsible for any taxes and charges you may incur as a result of this payment to you. You must also comply with any other conditions we place on your right to any payment.

19. CONTRACTING PARTY

You are contracting with Morro Systems, Inc. with an address at 39899 Balentine Drive, Suite 200 Newark, CA 94560 USA.

20. GOVERNING LAW

To the extent possible under your local law, these Terms and the relationship between You and Morro Systems will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. For all purposes of these Terms, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the United States Federal Courts located in the Northern District of California. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

21. DISPUTES

Disputes Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting legal@morrosystems.com. If a dispute is not resolved within thirty days of notice, you or Morro Systems may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree To Arbitrate. You and Morro Systems agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Services through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. 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 the terms of these Terms as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Morro Systems Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 48377 Fremont Boulevard, Suite 117, Fremont, California 94538, USA. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. We will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or at a mutually agreed location. We and you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND MORRO SYSTEMS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Exception to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing either you or Morro Systems may assert claims, if they qualify, in a small claims court in Santa Clara (CA) or any United States county where you live or work. 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 Santa Clara County, California to resolve your claim.

22. NOTICES

23. SEVERABILITY; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by relevant law.

This is the entire contract between you and us regarding the Service. It supersedes any prior contract or oral or written statements regarding your use of the Service.
