These Golden Terms of Service and Use set forth the legally binding terms of your access to and use of the Site, Apps, and Services (the "Terms").

Please read the Terms carefully. You understand and agree that these terms set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Site, Apps, and Services, and the Site, Dashboards, Apps, and Services are made available and provided to you under these Terms. By visiting, using or accessing Site, Dashboards, Apps, and/or the Services, you agree to comply with and be bound by the Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should leave the Site and discontinue use of the Site, Dashboards, Apps, and Services immediately. If you wish to register as a Golden User to make use of the Services reserved for members, you must read these Terms and indicate your acceptance during the registration process. Note, however, that these Terms apply to your access to and use of the Site, Apps, and Services regardless of whether you register an account as a Golden User.

Services shall constitute the online, web-based applications ordered by you through an Order Form and provided by Golden via https://www.goldenvolunteer.com or other designated websites or IP addresses as communicated to you by Golden. An "Order Form" shall mean either (a) a document signed by both parties identifying the Services purchased by you and made available by Golden pursuant to this Agreement or (b) your selection and acceptance of a specific pricing tier via the online purchasing process at https://www.goldenvolunteer.com.

    Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement or as may be expressly permitted by applicable law, you will not, and will not permit or authorize any third party to: (i) reproduce, modify, translate, enhance, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or create derivative works of any of the Services; (ii) rent, lease or sublicense access to any of the Services; or (iii) circumvent or disable any security or technological features or measures of the Services.

    The pricing tiers for the Services can be found at https://goldenvolunteer.com/pricing/. Fees paid hereunder are non-refundable. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, fees for the first month of the Services are prorated based on the calendar days remaining in the particular month at the pricing tier you selected provided that in the event your usage of the Services exceeds the pricing tier you selected, fees are adjusted as follows: for the previous month, Golden will charge the lower of any overage cost for usage in excess of the pricing tier you selected versus the retroactive upgrade cost to the next higher tier. The subsequent month is charged at the then-current pricing tier.

    Unless a subscription term of a longer duration is indicated in the applicable Order Form (a "Subscription Term"), the Services will automatically renew on a monthly basis unless and until you terminate the Services by providing written notice to Golden (email is acceptable) or selecting the cancellation option on the Dashboards, and such termination will be effective as of the last day of the calendar month during which such termination notice is received. Any Subscription Term specified in an Order Form will automatically renew for additional terms of twelve months each unless and until either party provides the other with written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days in advance of the last day of the then-current Subscription Term.

    Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, fees due hereunder will be billed to your credit card and you authorize the card issuer to pay all such amounts and authorizes Golden (or its billing agent) to charge the credit card account until you or Golden cancels or terminates the Services; provided that if payment is not received from the credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. You must provide current, complete and accurate billing and credit card information. You agree to pay all costs of collection, including attorney's fees and costs, on any outstanding balance. In certain instances, the issuer of the credit card may charge a foreign transaction fee or related charges, which you shall be responsible to pay.

    You will be responsible for payment of any applicable sales, use and other taxes and all applicable export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges (other than taxes based on Golden’s income), and any related penalties and interest for the grant of access rights hereunder, or the delivery of related services. You will make all required payments to Golden free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes.

Upon termination, you will immediately cease all use of the Pre-Release Software and destroy the Pre-Release Software, or upon request by Golden, return to Golden the Pre-Release Software and other Confidential Information that are in your possession or control. Upon Golden’s request, you will certify in writing that you have returned or destroyed all copies of the Pre-Release Software and Confidential Information.

Any waiver, modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of both parties. All rights and remedies, whether conferred hereunder or by any other instrument or law, will be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. The failure by either party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any subsequent enforcement of that or any other provisions. The terms and conditions stated herein are declared to be severable. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and the provision affected will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible by law.
