Last Modified: July 23, 2016

This document constitutes a legally binding contract between you (the “Customer”) and Global Safety Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GSM”). These terms and all materials referred or linked to herein (the “Agreement”) set out your rights and responsibilities and govern your use of the selected subscription services provided by GSM, including SDS Manager, SDS Publisher and SDS Translator, and various professional services (collectively, the “Services”) . By using any of our Services, or even browsing our website, you are agreeing to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with these terms, you may not use our Subscription Services or browse our website.

We may periodically update these terms. If changes to these terms are material we will notify you of the changes by posting the changes through the Services. You are responsible for reviewing any changes. Your use of the Services or the website following the changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

Scope of Services

Services Generally. The Services include those products or services that GSM provides to you from time to time pursuant to one or more sales orders, proposals or quotes (each a “Sales Agreement”). The Services generally are designed for the creation, distribution, recording, retention, accessing, translating and managing safety documents and labels (“SDS”), and include developed internet pages (“Service Pages”) displaying the SDS sheets provided by Customer to GSM for loading onto the GSM System, created by GSM or obtained from manufacturer on behalf of customer (“Customer SDSs”), as well as pages which assist in managing SDS forms per location, chemical risk potential, and other factors (the “Management Pages”). The major characteristics of the content, operations, technical specifications, use and capacity of the Services are specified in the applicable Sales Agreement (the “Specifications”).

License Grant. GSM hereby grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use the Services indicated on the applicable Sales Agreement, subject to any limitations contained therein and the terms of this Agreement, solely for Customer’s internal business purposes; provided that, to the extent specified on the applicable Sales Agreement and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Customer may use SDS Publisher for commercial use.

Permitted Customer Users. Only current employees, representatives, officers, directors, managers, consultants or contractors of Customer shall be authorized to access the Services on Customer’s behalf (each, a “Permitted Customer User” or “PCU”). Customer may also demonstrate the access and functionality of the Services to any regulatory personnel inquiring about Customer’s compliance with SDS maintenance and accessibility requirements and other applicable laws.

Third Parties. We may from time to time in our discretion engage third parties (“Subcontractors”) to perform aspects of the Services, and the Services may include Customer’s or any PCU’s use of third party materials, software, websites or information that are not proprietary to GSM (collectively, “Third Party Materials”).

Changes. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make any changes to the Services that we deem necessary or useful to maintain or enhance our services or to comply with applicable law or government regulations, including by adding or deleting functions and features. We will not make changes to the Services that materially reduce the functionality of the Services.

Other Rights. Other than the license granted herein, all right, title and interest in and to the Services, the Service Pages, the other GSM Materials (as defined below) and the Third Party Materials, including the intellectual property or similar rights embodied therein, are and will remain with, and are expressly reserved by, GSM and the respective rights holders in the Third Party Materials.

Limitations and Restrictions on Use of the Services

Customer and its PCUs are specifically prohibited from:

1. providing a link or access to the Service Pages or Management Pages to Customer’s external clients, unless as specifically agreed to in this Agreement or the applicable Order Form;
2. decompiling, reverse engineering, disassembling or creating derivative works from the Services;
3. removing or obscuring any proprietary notices including, but not limited to, any and all copyright, trademark and patent designations contained in the Services;
4. uploading, posting, e-mailing, transmitting, publishing, re-publishing, distributing, displaying or otherwise making the Service Pages or Management Pages available to any person other than a PCU;
5. using the Service Pages or Management Pages as a portion of services or products which Customer sells, licenses, leases or otherwise provides to others, other than as specifically stated in the applicable Sales Agreement;
6. downloading the SDSs, Service Page images or Management Page images or content to any system other than the GSM System, except as specifically provided in this Agreement or the applicable Order Form;

Customer may provide a link to the GSM System on any portal or intranet system of Customer accessible to any PCU, as specifically agreed to in the applicable Sales Agreement or as otherwise agreed to in writing by GSM, but may not otherwise provide any link or reference to the Services, the Service Pages or the Management Pages.

Customer agrees to immediately cancel the access of any individual who no longer qualifies as a PCU, including any individual who is terminated from employment or independent contractor status with Customer, or otherwise disavows their agreement to abide by Customer’s limitations under this Agreement.

Customer Proprietary Rights

Customer Materials. To the extent applicable with respect to the Services, Customer may provide to GSM or upload to the Service digital and print copies of Customer images, logos and other content (collectively, the “Customer Materials”) that Customer wants GSM to use on the Service Pages and Management Pages. Such copies shall be provided in commercially reasonable media and format as requested by GSM or its Subcontractors. Customer grants to GSM and its Subcontractors a royalty-free, limited license to use, reproduce and display the Customer Designs only for the purposes of fulfilling GSM’s obligations under this Agreement. To the extent Customer Materials constitute trade secrets or confidential information of Customer, Customer must notify GSM prior to providing or uploading such Customer Materials. Subject to the safeguard standards stated below, GSM will not disclose or make available to other customers or other third parties such Customer Materials that Customer has specifically identified in writing as being for private use only. You hereby grant GSM a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable right and license to use all Customer Materials that Customer uploads or provides to GSM for public use and to incorporate such Customer Materials in other works and services.

Safeguards. We will maintain commercially appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect Customer Materials.
