The following TOS is a legally binding agreement that stipulates the conditions under which Kitui Technologies Ltd (company no: 15326047) trading as DocEndorse engages with site visitors, individuals or entities who purchase services or create an account ("Customer"), and their Authorised Users. An "Authorised User" of a Customer is a natural person, whether an employee, business partner, contractor, or agent of a Customer who is registered or permitted by the Customer to use our services subject to these Terms. The TOS contains stipulations related to the use of the DocEndorse website ("Website") at domain Docendorse.com, and its services, as defined in section 2.

2. DESCRIPTION OF WEBSITE SERVICES OFFERED

3. ACCOUNT INTEGRITY

3.1 Create Account The Customer and the Authorised User ("User") are required to create an account ("Account") with a username and password ("Login Credentials"), as part of the registration process. The User must ensure that the information provided is correct and not misleading.

3.2 Login Credentials Users are responsible for keeping track of their own Login Credentials. The User should ensure that Login Credentials are stored securely, inaccessible to others, or are not shared publicly or with anyone else. All Account information will be governed by DocEndorse's Privacy Policy. Users agree to keep this information up-to-date so that DocEndorse may send notices, statements, and other information by email or through the Service.

3.3 Responsibility Users are responsible for their Account and any actions that are done on behalf of their Account. If the User becomes aware or think that a third party has obtained access to their Login Credentials, or other information, he/she must notify us immediately.

4. ACCOUNTS & ORGANISATIONAL ADMINISTRATION

A single email address is linked with each Account. If the domain of the primary email address associated with an Account is owned by a business or other organisation ("Entity") and was assigned to the User as an employee, contractor, or member of the Entity, such as name@profit.org ("Entity Email Address"), the User grants that Entity and its Account Administrator(s) permission to: (i) Identify Accounts created with an Entity Email Address; (ii) Aid the Entity with management of such Accounts which may include the disclosure of personal information to the Entity associated with the Account.

8. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS & PRICES

8.1 Subscription Plan: The cost, options and features of DocEndorse's services depend on the Subscription Plan selected by the Customer, as well as any adjustments made by the Customer. For example, if the Customer adds additional Authorised Users, DocEndorse will charge an additional membership fee per user for each month or year depending on the plan billing period. DocEndorse may, in its sole discretion, change the cost of a Subscription Plan ("Plan"), offer more or less features and options within a Plan, offer other Plans, or update, modify or revise any current Plans. DocEndorse reserves the right to cancel and stop providing any of the above services. As acknowledged by the TOS, you accept and agree that DocEndorse is not responsible for any such updates, modifications, revisions, suspensions, or interruptions to any of your services as result of changes to any of our services. DocEndorse goes to great lengths to ensure that the price on our website is accurate. However, if a pricing error in a product or service is discovered, we have the right to cancel your order, contact you to arrange payment of any additional money due, or refund any overpayment made by you (as applicable).

8.2 Automatic Renewal: When Customer agrees to a Subscription Plan with DocEndorse, Customer authorizes DocEndorse to charge Customer's payment method on a recurring basis whether monthly or annually (depending on the Plan chosen). Customer expressly authorizes DocEndorse to charge its payment method (such as a credit card) for the applicable subscription charges, any usage or overage charges, and any and all applicable taxes and fees. Such authorization is effective until the end of the Subscription Term and any applicable Renewal Term, or until Customer cancels all of its subscriptions.

8.3 Taxes: All payments required by these Terms are stated exclusive of all taxes, duties, and levies. Customer is responsible for any applicable taxes including value-added taxes ("VAT"), goods and services taxes ("GST"), excise, and similar transactional taxes imposed by any jurisdiction and the interest and penalties thereon, excluding taxes based on DocEndorse's net income (collectively, "Taxes"). Where the responsibility to remit Taxes falls upon DocEndorse, the Taxes will be added to the payment and payable to DocEndorse at the same time as the payment. Taxes shall not be deducted from the payments to DocEndorse, except as required by law, in which case Customer shall increase the amount payable as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings, DocEndorse receives and retains (free from any Tax liability) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

8.4 Free Trial: If your account is set to auto-renewal or is in a trial period and you have provided a method of payment to DocEndorse for the services, DocEndorse may charge you automatically at the of the trial or for the renewal, unless you notify DocEndorse that you want to cancel your subscription.

8.5 Invoices: DocEndorse will provide billing and usage information in a format we choose, which may change from time to time. DocEndorse reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it identifies even if it has already issued an invoice or received payment. Customer agrees to notify us about any billing problems or discrepancies within thirty (30) days after they first appear on your invoice. If Customer does not bring such problems/discrepancies to our attention within thirty (30) days, Customer agrees to waive its right to dispute such problems or discrepancies.

8.6 No Refunds: Subscription and usage or overage fees (and any other fees associated with the services, including higher subscription fees for upgrades) are non-refundable and non-creditable, except where required by law. DocEndorse subscriptions may be cancelled, and such cancellations take effect at the end of your then-current subscription term (for example, if you are on a paid monthly subscription the cancellation will take effect the following month, but if you are on a paid yearly subscription the cancellation will take effect the following year). If you don't pay for your subscription(s) on time, we reserve the right to suspend you or remove subscription features. Charges for pre-paid Subscription Plans will be billed to Customer in advance. Charges for per-use purchases and standard Subscription Plan charges will be billed in arrears unless otherwise specified in the Subscription Plan.

8.7 Late Fees & Collection Costs: If DocEndorse does not receive payment from Customer's payment method, Customer agrees to pay all amounts due upon demand. Any amount not paid when due will be subject to interest charges equal to 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. Customer will reimburse any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by DocEndorse to collect any amount that is not paid when due. DocEndorse may accept payment in any amount without prejudice to DocEndorse's right to recover the balance of the amount due or to pursue any other right or remedy. Amounts due to DocEndorse may not be withheld or offset by Customer for any reason against amounts due or asserted to be due from DocEndorse.

8.8 Billing Cycle: Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time. When a billing cycle covers less than or more than a full month, we may make reasonable adjustments and/or prorations.

9. Term and Termination

8.1 Term: These Terms ("Terms") become effective on the day the Customer accepts DocEndorse services, and lasts until such service expires or its use of the DocEndorse services ceases (including as a result of termination in accordance with this Section 9.5), whichever is later.

8.2 Subscription Term and Automatic Renewals: DocEndorse's Plans automatically renew unless otherwise noted. Upon purchase of a Plan Customer agrees to pay applicable fees associated with the Plan and further agree and acknowledge that it will automatically renew for additional successive periods equal to the initial subscription, unless, prior to the end of the current period of effectiveness of the Subscription Plan ("Subscription Term"): (a) you terminate your Account; (b) DocEndorse declines to renew your Subscription Plan; or (c) these Terms are otherwise properly terminated as expressly permitted herein. The Subscription Plan will automatically renew on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the Plan you choose ("Renewal Term"). Pricing for any Subscription Term renewal will be at DocEndorse's then-applicable rates.

8.3 Suspension of Access to Services: DocEndorse may suspend Customer's access to the DocEndorse Services, remove any content or disable or terminate any Account or Authorised User if: (a) Customer's account is overdue; or (b) Customer has exceeded its service allocations / service limits. DocEndorse may also suspend Customer's access to the DocEndorse Services or remove Customer Data if it determines that: (a) Customer has breached any portion of these Terms, or (b) suspension is necessary to prevent harm or liability to other customers or third parties, or to preserve the security, stability, availability or integrity of the DocEndorse Service. DocEndorse will have no liability for taking any action as permitted above.

8.4 Introductory offers: Introductory offers may only be used for your first Subscription Term. If you purchased your Subscription Plan with an offer, each time your Subscription Plan renews you will be charged the full annual billing amount. If your Subscription Plan is ever terminated for any reason, and you purchase another Subscription Plan, you shall not be eligible to use an introductory offer.

8.5 Plan and Term Modifications: We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend the fees and features associated with your Plan. We may also recommend that you purchase a new Plan that is comparable to your previous Plan that is ending. Before we change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges, we will give you advance notice of at least thirty (30) days. If we provide you such advance notice, your continued use of the DocEndorse Services after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not wish to continue subscribing with the new fees or features, you may terminate your Plan as described in Section 8.6. If you accept the new Subscription Plan, the terms and conditions of the new plan will apply in the Renewal Term and thereafter.

8.6 Termination By Customer: Customer may terminate Plan at any time by using the Cancel Subscription tool provided in Admin settings. DocEndorse has no obligation to consider refund requests related to a termination of a Plan under any circumstances.

8.7 Termination by DocEndorse: Either party may terminate these Terms, if the other party: (i) fails to cure any material breach of these Terms (including a failure to pay undisputed fees) within thirty (30) days after written notice detailing the breach; (ii) ceases operation without a successor; or (iii) if permitted by applicable law, seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors' arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, (iv) if, in our sole discretion, we believe that continued use of the DocEndorse Services by the Customer (or its Authorised Users or signers) creates legal risk for DocEndorse or presents a threat to the security of the DocEndorse Services or DocEndorse's customers, or if any of these proceedings are instituted against that party (and not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter).

8.8 Effect of Termination: Upon any expiration or termination of these Terms: (i) Customer's license rights terminate and it must promptly: (a) stop use of the applicable DocEndorse Service; (b) delete (or, at DocEndorse's request, return) any and all copies of any DocEndorse code, documentation, passwords or access codes, and any other DocEndorse Confidential Information in Customer's possession, custody, or control; (ii) Customer's right to access any Customer Data in the applicable DocEndorse Service will cease and DocEndorse may delete the Customer Data at any time after 30 days from the date of termination; and Customer will pay to DocEndorse any amounts that have accrued before, and remain unpaid as of, the date of the termination or expiration, including those for the billing cycle in which termination occurs. Any payments for the remaining portion of the Subscription Term will become due and must be paid immediately by Customer. Except where these Terms specifies an exclusive remedy, all remedies under these Terms, including termination or suspension, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that may be available to a party.

14.2 We Both Agree to Arbitrate: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time an intial dispute resolution is embarked on, you and DocEndorse agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms through final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

14.4 Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Either you or DocEndorse may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in San Francisco (CA) or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorised use or abuse of the services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in San Francisco County, California to resolve your claim.

14.5 No Class Actions: You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren't allowed. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Mandatory Arbitration Provisions" section will be deemed void.

14.6 Amendments; Waivers: Any modification or amendment to these Terms must be made in writing and executed by an authorised representative of each party. However, if DocEndorse modifies these Terms or any applicable Service Specific Terms during Customer's Subscription Term, the modified version will take effect upon Customer's next Subscription Term renewal. In addition: (a) If DocEndorse launches new products or optional features that require opt-in acceptance of new terms, those terms will apply upon Customer's acceptance or use; (b) changes to any terms will take effect immediately for Free Access Subscriptions; and (c) during a Subscription Term, DocEndorse may update DocEndorse's Security page, and Privacy Policy from time-to-time to reflect process improvements or changing practices, and these changes will take effect thirty (30) days from the date of posting so long as they do not substantially diminish Customer's rights or create substantial additional Customer obligations during a Subscription Term. DocEndorse's documentation is available online and constantly being developed and improved, and as a result, during a Subscription Term DocEndorse may update the documentation to reflect best practice with the relevant DocEndorse Service, provided that these changes do not substantially diminish Customer's rights or create substantial Customer obligations. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under these Terms. Waivers must be made in writing and executed by an authorised representative of the waiving party. The waiver by either you or DocEndorse of any breach of any provision of these Terms does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to these Terms to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with these Terms will not be a waiver of such party's right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of these Terms.

14.7 Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms may otherwise remain in effect.

14.8 Entire Agreement: These Terms represents the parties' complete and exclusive understanding relating to the subject matter of these Terms. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to the DocEndorse Service or any other subject matter covered by these Terms. The terms of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods do not apply to these Terms. Any terms provided by Customer (including as part of any purchase order or other business form used by Customer) are for administrative purposes only, and have no legal effect.

14.9 Governing Law & Venue: These terms will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the London, U.K., without reference to its choice of law rules to the contrary. The parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in the federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in London UK.
