Terms of Service

We know it’s tempting to skip these Terms of Service, but it’s important to establish what you can expect from us and what we expect from you.

THIS IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT (hereinafter “You” or “Your”) AND NEXT ERA OFFICE, GOVERNING YOUR USE OF NEXT ERA OFFICE ONLINE OR MOBILE BUSINESS PRODUCTIVITY AND COLLABORATION SOFTWARE AND PRODUCTS.


Acceptance of the Terms

You must be of legal age to enter into a binding agreement in order to accept the Terms. If you do not agree to the these terms, do not use any of our Services. If you agree to the General Terms and do not agree to any Service Specific Terms, do not use the corresponding Service. You can accept the Terms by checking a checkbox or clicking on a button indicating your acceptance of the terms or by actually using the Services.

If you’re under the age required to manage your own Account, you must have your parent or legal guardian’s permission to use an Account. Please have your parent or legal guardian read these terms with you.

If you’re a parent or legal guardian, and you allow your child to use the services, then these terms apply to you and you’re responsible for your child’s activity on the services.


Description of Service
We provide an array of services for online collaboration and management tools ("Service" or "Services"). You may use the Services for your personal and business use or for internal business purpose in the organization that you represent. You may connect to the Services using any Internet browser supported by the Services. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Internet and the equipment necessary to use the Services. You can create and edit content with your user account and if you choose to do so, you can publish and share such content.


What you can expect from us:

We’re constantly developing new technologies and features to improve our services. As part of this continual improvement, we sometimes add or remove features and functionalities, increase or decrease limits to our services, and start offering new services or stop offering old ones. If we make material changes that negatively impact your use of our services or if we stop offering a service, we’ll provide you with reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to export your content from your Account, except in urgent situations such as preventing abuse, responding to legal requirements, or addressing security and operability issues.

We may offer certain Services as closed or open beta services ("Beta Service" or “Beta Services”) for the purpose of testing and evaluation. You agree that Next Era Office has the sole authority and discretion to determine the period of time for testing and evaluation of Beta Services. Next Era Office will be the sole judge of the success of such testing and the decision, if any, to offer the Beta Services as commercial services. You will be under no obligation to acquire a subscription to use any paid Service as a result of your subscription to any Beta Service. We reserve the right to fully or partially discontinue, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, any of the Beta Services with or without notice to you. You agree that Next Era Office will not be liable to you or to any third party for any harm related to, arising out of, or caused by the modification, suspension or discontinuance of any of the Beta Services for any reason.


Modification of Terms of Service
We may modify the Terms upon notice to you at any time through a service announcement or by sending email to your primary email address. If we make significant changes to the Terms that affect your rights, you will be provided with at least 30 days advance notice of the changes by email to your primary email address. 


Personal Information and Privacy
Personal information you provide to Next Era Office through the Service is governed by Next Era Office Privacy Policy. Your election to use the Service indicates your acceptance of the terms of the Next Era Office Privacy Policy. You are responsible for maintaining confidentiality of your username, password and other sensitive information. You are responsible for all activities that occur in your user account and you agree to inform us immediately of any unauthorized use of your user account by contacting us: www.nexteraoffice.com/contact.html. We are not responsible for any loss or damage to you or to any third party incurred as a result of any unauthorized access and/or use of your user account, or otherwise.


Data Subject Requests
If you are from the European Economic Area and you believe that we store, use or process your information on behalf of one of our customers, please contact that customer if you would like to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, or export your personal data. We will then offer our support to our customer in responding to your request within a reasonable time frame.



What we expect from you:

The permission we give you to use our services continues as long as you meet your responsibilities.

We may make various help centers and other resources available to you to answer common questions and to set expectations about using our services. These resources include our Privacy Policy, Help Center, Support Center, and other pages accessible from our site. 

Although we give you permission to use our services, we retain any intellectual property rights we have in the services.

Many of our services allow you to interact with others. We want to maintain a respectful environment for everyone, which means you must follow these basic rules of conduct.

Failure to comply with any of these may result in an immediate suspension and possible removal of your account.

- Comply with applicable laws, including export control, sanctions, and human trafficking laws
- Respect the rights of others, including privacy and intellectual property rights
- Don’t abuse or harm others or yourself (or threaten or encourage such abuse or harm) — for example, by misleading, defrauding, defaming, bullying, harassing, or stalking others
- Don’t abuse, harm, interfere with, or disrupt the services.


Fees and Payments
The Services are available under subscription plans of various durations. Payments for subscription plans of duration of less than a year can be made only by Credit Card. Your subscription will be automatically renewed at the end of each subscription period unless you suspend your subscription plan or inform us that you do not wish to renew the subscription. At the time of automatic renewal, the subscription fee will be charged to the Credit Card last used by you. We provide you the option of changing the details if you would like the payment for the renewal to be made through a different Credit Card. If you do not wish to renew the subscription, you must either suspend your account or inform us at least seven days prior to the renewal date. If you have not suspended your subscription or if you have not informed us that you do not wish to renew the subscription, you will be presumed to have authorized Next Era Office to charge the subscription fee to the Credit Card last used by you.

Restrictions on Use
In addition to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, you shall not: (i) transfer the Services or otherwise make it available to any third party; (ii) provide any service based on the Services without prior written permission; (iii) use the third party links to sites without agreeing to their website terms & conditions; (iv) post links to third party sites or use their logo, company name, etc. without their prior written permission; (v) publish any personal or confidential information belonging to any person or entity without obtaining consent from such person or entity; (vi) use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or harm any server, network, computer system, resource of Next Era Office; (vii) violate any applicable local, state, national or international law; and (viii) create a false identity to mislead any person as to the identity or origin of any communication, product or service.

Spamming and Illegal Activities
You agree to be solely responsible for the contents of your transmissions through the Services. You agree not to use the Services for illegal purposes or for the transmission of material that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, pornographic, obscene, or is otherwise objectionable, offends religious sentiments, promotes racism, contains viruses or malicious code, or that which infringes or may infringe intellectual property or other rights of another. You agree not to use the Services for the transmission of "junk mail", "spam", "chain letters", “phishing” or unsolicited mass distribution of email. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services if there are reasonable grounds to believe that you have used the Services for any illegal or unauthorized activity.


User Sign up Obligations
You need to sign up for a user account by providing all required information in order to access or use the Services. If you represent an organization and wish to use the Services for corporate internal use, we recommend that you, and all other users from your organization, sign up for user accounts by providing your corporate contact information. In particular, we recommend that you use your corporate email address. You agree to: a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the sign up process; and b) maintain and promptly update the information provided during sign up to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, or if Next Era Office has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, Next Era Office may terminate your user account and refuse current or future use of any or all of the Services.

Organization Accounts and Administrators
When you sign up for an account for your organization you may specify one or more administrators. The administrators will have the right to configure the Services based on your requirements and manage end users in your organization account. If your organization account is created and configured on your behalf by a third party, it is likely that such third party has assumed administrator role for your organization. Make sure that you enter into a suitable agreement with such third party specifying such party’s roles and restrictions as an administrator of your organization account.

You are responsible for i) ensuring confidentiality of your organization account password, ii) appointing competent individuals as administrators for managing your organization account, and iii) ensuring that all activities that occur in connection with your organization account comply with this Agreement. You understand that Next Era Office is not responsible for account administration and internal management of the Services for you.

You are responsible for taking necessary steps for ensuring that your organization does not lose control of the administrator accounts. You may specify a process to be followed for recovering control in the event of such loss of control of the administrator accounts by contacting our office, provided that the process is acceptable to Next Era Office. In the absence of any specified administrator account recovery process, Next Era Office may provide control of an administrator account to an individual providing proof satisfactory to Next Era Office demonstrating authorization to act on behalf of the organization. You agree not to hold Next Era Office liable for the consequences of any action taken by Next Era Office in good faith in this regard.


Permission to use your content
Some of our services allow you to upload, submit, store, send, receive, or share your content. You have no obligation to provide any content to our services and you’re free to choose the content that you want to provide. If you choose to upload or share content, please make sure you have the necessary rights to do so and that the content is lawful.

Your content remains yours, which means that you retain any intellectual property rights that you have in your content. For example, you have intellectual property rights in the creative content you make, such as product details or knowledge base articles that you write. Or you may have the right to share someone else’s creative content if they’ve given you their permission.

We need your permission if your intellectual property rights restrict our use of your content.

You provide Next Era Office with that permission through this license:

What’s covered
- This license covers your content if that content is protected by intellectual property rights.

- This license doesn’t affect your privacy rights — it’s only about your intellectual property rights


What’s not covered
- Publicly available factual information that you provide. That information doesn’t require a license because it’s considered common knowledge that everyone’s free to use.

- Feedback that you offer, such as suggestions to improve our services. 


This license is:
 - worldwide, which means it’s valid anywhere in the world
   
- non-exclusive, which means you can license your content to others
    royalty-free, which means there are no fees for this license


This license allows Next Era Office to:
- host, reproduce, distribute, communicate, and use your content — for example, to save your content on our systems and make it accessible from anywhere you go.

- publish, publicly perform, or publicly display your content, if you’ve made it visible to others.

- modify and create derivative works based on your content, such as reformatting or translating it.

- It also allows Next Era Office to sub-license these rights to:
  -- other users to allow the services to work as designed, such as enabling you to share reviews.
    -- our contractors, who’ve signed agreements with us that are consistent with these terms, only for the limited purposes described in the Purpose section below.


This license is for the limited purpose of:
Operating and improving the services, which means allowing the services to work as designed and creating new features and functionalities. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored. This includes using both manual and automated systems and algorithms to analyze your content:
- For spam, malware, and illegal content.
- To recognize patterns in data.
- To customize our services for you.
- Using content you’ve shared publicly to promote the services. For example, we might quote a review you wrote. 
- Developing new technologies and services consistent with these terms.

Duration
This license lasts for as long as your content is protected by intellectual property rights.

Limitation of Liability
None of the licensors, contributors, sponsors, administrators, or anyone else connected with Next Era Office in any way whatsoever can be responsible for the appearance of any inaccurate information or for your use of the information contained in or linked from Next Era Office.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will we, or our licensors and suppliers, be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising out of the use of or inability to access Next Era Office, including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work disruptions, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if advised of the possibility thereof, and regardless of the legal or equitable theory (contract, tort, breach of warranty or otherwise) upon which the claim is based. Neither we, nor our licensors or suppliers, are responsible for any liability arising out of Next Era Office and/or any material linked through Next Era Office. Under no circumstances will Next Era Office’, or Next Era Office licensors, direct liability arising out of use of Next Era Office exceed the greater of (i) the amount you have paid Next Era Office for such use or (ii) $10.00. Some jurisdictions do not permit some of the above limitations of liability, and therefore this may not apply to you.


Severability
If any provision in this agreement should be held illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable without losing its intent, or severed from this agreement if no such modification is possible, and the other provisions of the this agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The controlling language of the this agreement is English. If you have received a translation into another language, it has been provided for your convenience only.
