Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for all activity occurring under your User accounts and shall abide by all applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, treaties and regulations in connection with your use of the Service, including those related to data privacy, international communications and the transmission of technical or personal data. You shall: (i) notify h1 immediately of any unauthorized use of any password or account or any other known or suspected breach of security; (ii) report to h1 immediately and use reasonable efforts to stop immediately any copying or distribution of content that is known or suspected by you or your Users; and (iii) not impersonate another h1 user or provide false identity information to gain access to or use the Service.
Account Information and Data
h1 does not own any data, information or material that you submit to the Service in the course of using the Service (“Customer Data”). You, not h1, shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to use of all Customer Data, and h1 shall not be responsible or liable for the deletion, correction, destruction, damage, loss or failure to store any Customer Data. In the event this Agreement is terminated (other than by reason of your breach), h1 will make available to you a file of the Customer Data within 30 days of termination if you so request at the time of termination. h1 reserves the right to withhold, remove and/or discard Customer Data without notice for any breach, including, without limitation, your non-payment. Upon termination for cause, your right to access or use Customer Data immediately ceases, and h1 shall have no obligation to maintain or forward any Customer Data. h1 reserves the right (but has no obligation) to review any Customer Data, investigate, or take appropriate action against You in its sole discretion if You violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement or otherwise create liability for h1 or any other person. Such acts may include removing or modifying Customer Data, terminating your account with h1, or reporting You to law enforcement authorities.
Applicable law may require h1 to disclose your Customer Data if: (i) reasonably necessary to comply with legal process (such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant) or other legal requirements; (ii) disclosure would mitigate h1’s liability in an actual or threatened lawsuit; (iii) necessary to protect legal rights of h1, users, customers, business partners or other interested parties; or (iv) necessary for the prevention or detection of crime (subject in each case to applicable law).
To the extent h1 processes Personal Data (as defined in the Data Processing Addendum) of individuals, such processing shall be governed by the Data Processing Addendum.
Intellectual Property Ownership
h1 alone (and its licensors, where applicable) shall own all right, title and interest, including all related intellectual property rights, in and to the h1 Technology, and the Service and any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by you or any other party relating to the Service. This Agreement is not a sale and does not convey to you any rights of ownership in or related to the Service, the h1 Technology or the Intellectual Property Rights owned by h1. The h1 name, the h1 logo, and the product names associated with the Service are trademarks of h1 or third parties, and no right or license is granted to use them.
Charges and Payment of Fees
You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. The initial charges will be equal to the current number of total User licenses requested times the User license fee currently in effect. Payments must be made annually in advance unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in an Order Form or through the Online Order Center. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are nonrefundable. You are responsible for paying for all User licenses ordered for the entire duration of the license (the “License Term”), whether or not such User licenses are actively used. You must provide h1 with valid credit card or approved purchase order information as a condition to signing up for the Service. An authorized License Administrator may add licenses by executing an additional written Order Form or using the Online Order Center. Added licenses will be subject to the following: (i) added licenses will be coterminous with the preexisting License Term (either Initial Term or renewal term); (ii) the license fee for the added licenses will be the then current, generally applicable license fee; and (iii) licenses added in the middle of a billing month will be charged in full for that billing month. h1 reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time, upon at least 30 days prior notice to you, which notice may be provided by e-mail. All pricing terms are confidential, and you agree not to disclose them to any third party.
Excess Data Storage Fees
The maximum disk storage space provided to you depends on your pricing plan. If the amount of disk storage required exceeds these limits, you will be charged the then-current storage fees. h1 will use reasonable efforts to notify you when the average storage used per license reaches approximately 90% of the maximum; however, any failure by h1 to so notify you shall not affect your responsibility for such additional storage charges. h1 reserves the right to establish or modify its general practices and limits relating to storage of Customer Data.
Billing and Renewal
h1 charges and collects in advance for use of the Service. h1 will automatically renew and bill your credit card or issue an invoice to you each year on the subsequent anniversary or as otherwise mutually agreed upon. The renewal charge will be equal to the then-current number of total User licenses times the license fee in effect during the prior term, unless h1 has given you at least 30 days prior written notice of a fee increase, which shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter. Fees for other services will be charged on an as-quoted basis. h1’s fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only Danish taxes based solely on h1’s income.
You agree to provide h1 with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information includes your legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact. You agree to update this information within 30 days of any change to it. If the contact information you have provided is false or fraudulent, h1 reserves the right to terminate your access to the Service in addition to any other legal remedies.
If you believe your bill is incorrect, you must contact us in writing within 60 days of the invoice date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.
Non-Payment and Suspension
In addition to any other rights granted to h1 herein, h1 reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and your access to the Service if your account becomes delinquent (falls into arrears). Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to interest of 1.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. You will continue to be charged for User licenses during any period of suspension. If you or h1 initiates termination of this Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance due on your account computed in accordance with the Charges and Payment of Fees section above. You agree that h1 may charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.
h1 reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee in the event you are suspended and thereafter request access to the Service. You agree and acknowledge that h1 has no obligation to retain Customer Data and that such Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted if your account is 30 days or more delinquent.
Termination upon Expiration/Reduction in Number of Licenses
This Agreement commences on the Effective Date. Initial Term will be as you elect during the online subscription process or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in an Order Form. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal in duration to the Initial Term (or one year, if the Initial Term is greater than one year) at h1’s then current fees. Either party may terminate this Agreement or reduce the number of licenses, effective only upon the expiration of the then current License Term, by notifying the other party in writing at least five (5) business days prior to the date of the invoice for the following term. In the case of free trials, notifications provided through the Service indicating the remaining number of days in the free trial shall constitute notice of termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated (other than by reason of your breach), h1 will make available to you a file of the Customer Data within 30 days of termination if you so request at the time of termination. You agree and acknowledge that h1 has no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data, more than 30 days after termination.
Termination for Cause
Any breach of your payment obligations or unauthorized use of the h1 Technology or Service will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. h1, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account or use of the Service if you breach or otherwise fail to comply with this Agreement. In addition, h1 may terminate a free account at any time in its sole discretion. You agree and acknowledge that h1 has no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data, if you have materially breached this Agreement, including but not limited to failure to pay outstanding fees, and such breach has not been cured within 30 days of notice of such breach.
Representations & Warranties
Each party represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement. h1 represents and warrants that it will provide the Service in a manner consistent with general industry standards reasonably applicable to the provision thereof and that the Service will perform substantially in accordance with the online h1 help documentation under normal use and circumstances.

Internet Delays
h1’s services may be subject to limitations, delays, and other problems inherent in the use of the internet and electronic communications. h1 is not responsible for any delays, delivery, failures, or other damage resulting from such problems.
Limitation of Liability
In no event shall either party’s aggregate liability exceed the amounts actually paid by and/or due from you in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to such claim. In no event shall either party and/or its licensors be liable to anyone for any indirect, punitive, special, exemplary, incidental, consequential or other damages of any type or kind (including loss of data, revenue, profits, use or other economic advantage) arising out of, or in any way connected with this service, including but not limited to the use or inability to use the service, or for any content obtained from or through the service, any interruption, inaccuracy, error or omissions, regardless of cause in the content, even if the party from which damages are being sought or such party’s licensors have been previously advised of the possibility of such damages.
Additional Rights
Certain countries, states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental, consequential or certain other types of damages, so the exclusions set forth above may not apply to you.
