Subject to Your compliance with the terms of this TOS, ShipKey grants You a personal, limited, nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service during the term of this TOS, whether accessed via an Internet browser on a smartphone, tablet or other device: (a) solely in object code form; and (b) solely via a device that meets the minimum technical requirements necessary to run the Service (as determined by ShipKey).

ShipKey User Account, Subscription Plans, and Billing

You will need to create a ShipKey account (“Account”) to access the Services. You agree to use thorough and accurate information when completing the account set up process.
You will not share your Account credentials with others and acknowledge that You are responsible for any activity associated with Your Account.
At the time of Account creation, You will choose a ShipKey subscription plan (“Plan”) with associated fees for Your chosen Plan (“Fees”) and either a monthly or annual billing cycle. The date Your account is created will be the date of Your recurring payment for the Service (“Billing Date”). For example, if You create Your ShipKey account on February 17th and You choose monthly billing, You will be charged every month on the 17th. If You choose annual billing, You will be charged every February 17th. If Your account is created on a date that doesn’t occur every month or every year, You will be charged on a date as close to Your Billing Date as reasonably possible.
You will be required to enter a credit card for payment of Fees associated with your Plan at the time of Account creation. Your credit card will be charged on or around Your Billing Date for access to the Service through the current billing cycle. Your Billing Date will serve as the first day of your billing cycle. If Your credit card is declined for any reason, You will be notified. If ShipKey is unable to collect payment after 30 days, Your Service may be interrupted, suspended, or canceled.
You may change Your Plan at any time. If You choose to upgrade Your Plan, You will be charged a one-time prorated amount for the remaining days in Your billing cycle. If You choose to downgrade Your Plan, any change to Your Fees will be reflected on the next Billing Date. You will not receive a prorated refund when downgrading Your Plan.
Your Plan has monthly feature limits such as shipping label maximums. If You exceed Your shipping label maximum based on Your Plan before Your monthly count renews, You will be charged a shipping label surcharge for each shipping label that exceeds Your monthly limit. It is Your responsibility to understand all monthly feature limits associated with Your Plan.

Termination

This TOS will remain in effect until: (a) ShipKey terminates Your rights under this TOS, which it may do immediately, without notice or liability, if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this TOS; or (b) You cancel the Service, whichever occurs first. You may terminate Your access to the Service by submitting a written request to ShipKey’s customer service department at [email protected] fifteen (15) days prior to the renewal on monthly billing subscription plans and thirty (30) days prior to the renewal on annual billing subscription plans.
You acknowledge that if You breach this TOS, ShipKey may have no adequate remedy at law, will suffer irreparable harm as a result of such a breach, and therefore will be entitled to injunctive relief without the obligation of posting a bond. Upon termination of this TOS based on Your breach: (a) You agree to immediately cease using the Service; and (b) Your access to the Service will be automatically terminated and Registration Data will be removed.
Upon the termination of this TOS for any reason, each party will be released from all obligations to the other arising after the date of expiration or termination, except those post-termination obligations expressly provided for in this TOS, and those provisions which by their nature should survive termination will survive, including use restrictions, indemnity obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

For purposes of these Terms of Use, “Intellectual Property Rights” means all forms of industrial and intellectual property rights and protections throughout the world, including any: (a) patents (including any patent applications, together with all reissuances, continuations, continuations-in-part, revisions, extensions, and re-examinations thereof); (b) copyrights; (c) Internet domain names, trademarks, service marks, and trade dress, together with all goodwill associated therewith; (d) trade secrets; (e) rights in databases and designs (ornamental or otherwise); (f) moral rights, rights of privacy, rights of publicity, and similar rights; and (g) any other proprietary rights and protections, whether currently existing or hereafter developed or acquired arising under statutory or common law, including all applications, disclosures, and registrations with respect thereto. You are provided access to the Service; the Service is not sold to You. No title to or ownership of the Service, including, without limitation, any logos, designs, texts, graphics, pictures, data or content, software, platform, technologies or any proprietary rights related to the Service, is transferred under or by virtue of this TOS. ShipKey reserves all rights in and to the Service not expressly granted to You under this TOS. Further, this TOS does not authorize You to use any name, trademark or logo of ShipKey.
You will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to all of Your Data. You hereby grant to ShipKey a nonexclusive, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable (to its subcontractors and service providers), irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to access, use and process the Data in accordance with the terms of this TOS.
If You are contacted by (or otherwise become aware of) a third-party claiming rights in any portion of the Service, or claiming that use of the Service infringes any right of that third party, You must immediately notify ShipKey and, at ShipKey’s request, immediately cease use of the Service. If ShipKey determines in its sole discretion that it cannot or should not otherwise allow You to continue using the Service because of such claim, ShipKey may terminate this TOS immediately by delivering notice to You without any resulting obligation or liability to You by reason of such termination.

Miscellaneous

Any remedy of ShipKey set forth in this TOS is in addition to any other remedy afforded to ShipKey under applicable Law or otherwise. ShipKey’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this TOS will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this Section, the rest of the TOS is to remain in effect as written, and the unenforceable provision is to remain as written in any circumstances other than those in which the provision is held to be unenforceable.

The terms and conditions of this TOS shall apply to, and be binding upon, the approved successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. The parties are independent contractors. This TOS does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties. This TOS does not and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than You and ShipKey. For all purposes of this TOS, the words “including” and “includes” mean inclusion without limitation.
