SECTION 3 – Our Privacy Statement and Data Processing Addendum and Your Personal Information 

We respect your privacy and the use and protection of your non-public, personal information.  Your submission of personal information through the Website is governed by our Privacy Statement and, if you and/or your end users are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, Brazil, or California (USA), our Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) as well.  Our Privacy Statement may be viewed at https://workaxle.com/privacy-policy. WorkAxle reserves the right to modify its Privacy Statement and DPA in its reasonable discretion from time-to-time.  Our Privacy Statement and DPA are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

SECTION 4 – Information You Provide; Registration; Passwords; Prohibition Against Hosting Third-Party Agency Accounts

 As a WorkAxle user, you will be required to create an account with WorkAxle.  You warrant that the information you provide us is truthful and accurate, and that you are not impersonating another person.  You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password you may use to access your WorkAxle user account, and you agree not to transfer your password or user name, or lend or otherwise transfer your use of or access to your user account, to any third party.  You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of proprietary or non-public information we may share with you as a WorkAxle user, such as technical information, our pricing, our business strategy, and data about other past or current WorkAxle users or their customers.

So called “agency accounts,” or accounts in which you host funnels for third parties, are prohibited. Should your usage data indicate, in WorkAxle’ sole and exclusive discretion, that you are operating an agency account, you will be subject to cancellation of your WorkAxle user account or enhanced pricing for your WorkAxle user account, at WorkAxle’ sole and exclusive discretion.  You are fully responsible for all transactions with, and information conveyed to, WorkAxle under your user account.  You agree to immediately notify WorkAxle of any unauthorized use of your password or user name or any other breach of security related to your user account. You agree that WorkAxle is not liable, and you will hold WorkAxle harmless, for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with any of the foregoing obligations. Please see Section 21 below for additional information.

SECTION 5 – Order Placement and Acceptance 

If you order a service or product, payment must be received by us before your order is accepted.  We may require additional information regarding your order if any required information was missing or inaccurate, and may cancel or limit an order any time after it has been placed.  Your electronic order confirmation, or any form of confirmation, does not signify our acceptance of your order. You must contact us immediately at support@workaxle.com in order to modify or cancel your pending order.  We cannot guarantee that we will be able to amend your order in accordance with your instructions. 

All items are subject to availability.  We will notify you if any item is not available, the expected availability date, and may offer you an alternative product or service.  If the availability of any product or service is delayed and you do not wish to substitute the product or service, upon your request, we will cancel your order and if previously charged, your payment card will be fully refunded for that specific order.  We reserve the right to limit the sales of our products and services to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis at our sole and exclusive discretion.  

Your purchase order of products and other services is conditioned on you re-affirming your acceptance of this Agreement.  

All advertised prices are in, and all payments shall be in, U.S. Dollars. 

SECTION 6 – Paid Pilots, Onboarding, Payment, and Cancellation

Where we offer you a discounted paid pilot of WorkAxle, such trials will start immediately after your registration and continue for the specified period as indicated on the Website at the time you register.  Free trial subscriptions are only available to new subscribers of WorkAxle and for the limited periods as set out on the Website. Previous subscribers or those subscribers who have already benefited from a free trial subscription to WorkAxle do not qualify for a further free trial period.

WorkAxle will email a reminder that your paid pilot program is ending at least 30 days prior to you being charged. If you do not want to continue your subscription after your free trial comes to an end, you must contact us at least 24 hours before your free trial period ends by submitting a cancellation request to us via our support email address support@workaxle.com, or by cancelling your pilot by email. WorkAxle can change the monthly membership subscription rate at any time.  If the membership subscription rate changes after you subscribe, we will notify you by email and give you an opportunity to cancel.

If you wish to cancel your WorkAxle subscription (including subscriptions for services) at any time after a free trial or discounted period ends, you must submit a cancellation request to us via our support email address support@workaxle.com.  For monthly subscriptions (including subscriptions for services), we require at least ten (10) days’ notice of cancellation by email.  If you provide such notice less than ten (10) days before the first day of your next subscription month, your credit card may still be charged. You will not be entitled to prorate your last month’s use, nor will you be entitled to any refund for any payments to WorkAxle. For annual subscriptions, we also require at least ten (10) days’ notice of cancellation by email. If you provide such notification less than ten (10) days before the first day of your next subscription year, your credit card may still be charged.  If you cancel before the end of your year, you will not be entitled to a refund but we will provide you with a credit towards other WorkAxle’ subscription services. WorkAxle in its sole discretion may charge a cancellation fee equal to the amount the subscription was discounted. WorkAxle in its sole discretion may charge a cancellation fee equal to the amount the subscription was discounted. 

SECTION 7 – Subscription Terms and Automatic Payment 

A WorkAxle user is responsible for paying all sums due to WorkAxle in connection with their monthly subscription in accordance with these Terms.  The first fee payable in accordance with these Terms is due when the user account is set up and payment of the monthly fee is a condition of access, or after your free trial ends and you have not canceled the automatic subscription with us.  Every calendar month, your account will be charged the subscription fee plus applicable tax for the following month’s subscription, together with any other fees for the following month’s subscription plus any accumulated charges for the past period (collectively, “Fees”).  Failure by the WorkAxle user to use any of the services available through the service provided by WorkAxle does not relieve the WorkAxle user of their payment obligations under these Terms. 

Potential users can pay by credit card, debit card, bank wire, or cheque.  Payment details shall be collected by us through our secure financial data collection mechanism. You acknowledge and agree that we hold data relating to the transaction, including the last four digits and the expiration date of the card used to purchase the products or services together with details on when payment is due.  You further acknowledge and agree that payments are due on a recurring basis in accordance with the payment terms for the specific service purchased (unless the subscription is cancelled in accordance with these Terms) and therefore authorize the automatic payment collection terms applicable to that specific service (e.g., on a monthly basis and for a specific amount).   

IF YOU ARE A WORKAXLE USER WITH A MONTHLY OR ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION AND YOU HAVE PROVIDED US WITH A VALID CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD NUMBER OR AN ALTERNATE PAYMENT METHOD, EACH PAYMENT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY PROCESSED AT THE TIME OF YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT DATE (MONTHLY OR ANNUALLY) AND WILL BE BILLED TO THE PAYMENT METHOD YOU PROVIDED TO US AT THE TIME OF YOUR ENROLLMENT.  IF YOU WISH TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO WORKAXLE, YOU MAY DO SO THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT DASHBOARD OR BY EMAILING SUPPORT@WORKAXLE.COM AT LEAST TEN (10) DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF YOUR NEXT SUBSCRIPTION MONTH.

WorkAxle reserves the right to immediately terminate a user’s account and/or service for any unpaid (in whole or part) period of the subscription (with or without notice).  Termination of service in no way relieves or excuses the user from any obligation to pay outstanding charges or expenses. In the event WorkAxle starts collection processes of any type, you will be liable for all collection costs, including legal fees and expenses, as provided in Section 20 below. 

In addition to any Fees, WorkAxle may also charge applicable value added or other tax.

SECTION 8 – DISCLAIMER – Your Business' Individual Results will Vary

Every online business is different, employing different strategic approaches and organizational structures, and offering different products and services.  Therefore, individual results will vary from user to user. YOUR BUSINESS’ INDIVIDUAL RESULTS WILL VARY DEPENDING UPON A VARIETY OF FACTORS UNIQUE TO YOUR BUSINESS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO YOUR CONTENT, BUSINESS MODEL, AND PRODUCT AND SERVICE OFFERINGS.  

WorkAxle does not promise, guarantee, or warrant your business’ success, income, or operational savings. You understand and acknowledge that WorkAxle will not at any time provide free consulting to you or your business outside of the scope of your service agreement. Those businesses who purchase our products or services will receive access to software and tools to effectively manage workforce operations.  However, we do not guarantee your business’ success, and based upon many market factors that we cannot control, the software and tools we provide may or may not be applicable to your specific business.  Further, we do not make earnings claims, efforts claims, return on investment claims, or claims that our software, tools, or other offerings will make your business any specific amount of money, and it is possible that you will not earn your investment back.  We do not sell a business opportunity, “get rich quick” program, guaranteed system, franchise system, or a business in a box. You should not purchase our products or services if that is your expectation. Instead, you should purchase with the understanding that using the information and software purchased will take time and effort and maybe applicable in some situations but not others.  Also, we do not offer any tax, accounting, financial, or legal advice outside of employee scheduling and time and attendance. You should consult your business’ consultant, accountant, attorney, or financial advisor for advice on these topics. 

SECTION 9 – Your Responsibilities in Running Your Business

You represent and warrant that you operate a business in good standing and you agree that there are no prior or pending government investigations or prosecutions against you or your business. You also agree that you and your business will only use WorkAxle’s products and services for lawful purposes and that you shall not use such products or services, whether alone or in connection with other software, hardware, or services, for any unlawful or harmful purpose.  You are solely and exclusively responsible for complying with any and all applicable laws and regulations in running your business, including, but not limited to, all laws governing advertising and marketing claims, subscriptions, refunds, premium offers, tax laws, and all additional laws applicable to your business. You agree to notify WorkAxle if any investigation or lawsuit is threatened or filed against you, whereupon WorkAxle shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without liability.  WorkAxle shall have no liability for your violation of any laws. You are solely and exclusively responsible for collecting and reporting any and all sales and use tax, and any other taxes, which may apply to sales of products or services by your business including, but not limited to, taxes which may apply to voluntary donations provided by your customers (as described in Section 13 below). WorkAxle shall not be responsible to collect or report any taxes which may apply to your business or sales of products or services by your business.  You agree to indemnify WorkAxle as set out in Section 21 below in the event that you and/or your business violates any law and a claim is threatened or asserted against WorkAxle as a result.

SECTION 10 – Testimonials, Reviews, and Pictures/Videos

WorkAxle is pleased to hear from users and customers and welcomes your comments regarding our services and products.  WorkAxle may use testimonials and/or product reviews in whole or in part together with the name, city, and state of the person submitting it.  Testimonials may be used for any form of activity relating to WorkAxle’ services or products, in printed and online media, as WorkAxle determines in its sole and exclusive discretion.  Testimonials represent the unique experience of the participants and customers submitting the testimonial, and do not necessarily reflect the experience that you and your business may have using our services or products.  As set forth above in Section 11, your business’ results will vary depending upon a variety of factors unique to your business and market forces beyond WorkAxle’ control. Note that testimonials, photographs, and other information that you provide to us will be treated as non-confidential and nonproprietary, and, by providing them, you grant WorkAxle a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to use them. 

Additionally, WorkAxle reserves the right to correct grammatical and typing errors, to shorten testimonials prior to publication or use, and to review all testimonials prior to publication or use.  WorkAxle shall be under no obligation to use any, or any part of, any testimonial or product review submitted.  

SECTION 11 – Compliance with the Laws, Including Compliance with the Laws, Including Commitment Against Harassment and Interference with Others

You have the responsibility to be aware of, understand, and comply with all applicable laws and ensure that you and all users of your account comply with such applicable laws at all times.

You further agree to indemnify and defend WorkAxle from any claims, damages, losses, and lawsuits of any kind or nature that may be made or brought against WorkAxle relating in any way to your violation of law or third-party rights by use or misuse of any messaging software or hardware, whether or not provided by WorkAxle. You further understand and agree that WorkAxle has no control over, and therefore cannot be responsible for, the functionality or failures of any third party software, including without limitation Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and internet browser notifications.

THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE MAKE NO, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO THE RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, AND/OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE.

SECTION 13 – Limitations of Liabilities

EXCEPT WHERE OTHERWISE INAPPLICABLE OR PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WORKAXLE OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS, AND/OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, FEES, COSTS OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING THE PRIVACY STATEMENT AND DPA, THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS, YOUR OR A THIRD PARTY’S USE OR ATTEMPTED USE OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY SOFTWARE, SERVICE, OR PRODUCT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WORKAXLE HAS HAD NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, FEES, COSTS, OR CLAIMS.

IN NO EVENT SHALL WORKAXLE’S LIABILITY TO YOU OR YOUR BUSINESS EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THREE (3) TIMES THE PAYMENTS PAID BY YOU TO WORKAXLE FOR THE MONTH PRECEDING THE DATE IN WHICH THE FACTS GIVING RISE TO A CLAIM AGAINST WORKAXLE OCCURRED OR TWO-THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

SECTION 14 – Dispute Resolution by Mandatory Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR AND YOUR BUSINESS’ RIGHTS.  EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM THAT YOU OR YOUR BUSINESS MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF (LEAD OR OTHERWISE) OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

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 THESE TERMS AS A COURT WOULD.

If you have a complaint, dispute, or controversy, you agree to first contact us at compliance@workaxle.com to attempt to resolve the dispute or controversy informally. Any controversy or claim arising out of or related to the use of the Website, any product, service, or software, these Terms, the Privacy Statement, the DPA, the Affiliate Agreement, or your relationship with us that cannot be resolved through such informal process or through negotiation within one hundred and twenty (120) days shall be resolved by binding, confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  We agree that any claim we may have against you or your business will also be subject to this arbitration provision, except as provided in Sections 20 and 21 below. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator in the French language in Quebec, Canada, unless we both agree to conduct the arbitration by telephone or written submissions. The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, chosen in accordance with Rules of the AAA. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Procedures, in effect at the time of submission of the demand for arbitration.  The AAA’s Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms, the Privacy Statement, the DPA, this arbitration provision, and any other terms incorporated by reference into these Terms. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether any dispute is arbitrable. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether this arbitration agreement can be enforced against a non-signatory to this agreement and whether a non-signatory to this agreement can enforce this provision against you or WorkAxle.

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s Rules.  In all other respects, the parties shall each pay their own additional fees, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, those for any attorneys, experts, documents, and witnesses.

The arbitrator shall follow the substantive law of the Province of Quebec without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.  Any award rendered shall include a confidential written opinion and shall be final, subject to appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You and WorkAxle agree that disputes will only be arbitrated on an individual basis and shall not be consolidated, on a class wide, representative basis, or with any other arbitration(s) or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party.  You and WorkAxle expressly waive any right to pursue any class or other representative action against each other.

Failure or any delay in enforcing this arbitration provision in connection with any particular claim will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other claims except that all claims must be brought within 1 year after the claim arises (the 1 year period includes the one hundred and twenty (120) day informal resolution procedures described above).

This arbitration provision sets forth the terms and conditions of our agreement to final and binding confidential arbitration and is governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended.  

This provision survives termination of your account or relationship with WorkAxle, bankruptcy, assignment, or transfer.  If the class action waiver is deemed unenforceable (i.e., unenforceability would allow arbitration to proceed as a class or representative action), then this entire arbitration provision shall be rendered null and void and shall not apply.  If a portion of this arbitration provision (other than the class action waiver) is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision shall remain in full force and effect.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE, AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.  HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH BINDING, FINAL, AND CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.  

SECTION 15 – WorkAxle's Additional Remedies

In order to prevent or limit irreparable injury to WorkAxle, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by you of the provisions of this Agreement or any infringement or threatened infringement by you of the intellectual property of WorkAxle or a third-party, WorkAxle shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctions or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction located in Quebec, Canada restraining such breach, threatened breach, infringement, or threatened infringement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting WorkAxle from pursuing in court any other remedies available to it for such breach, threatened breach, infringement, or threatened infringement, including the recovery of monetary damages from you and your business.
