By default, you will be the first Customer Representative for the Customer. If the Customer elects to replace you with another individual as the Customer Representative or you inform us of such change, you agree to take any actions reasonably requested by us or the Customer to facilitate the transfer of authority to the new Customer Representative.
In addition to the Customer Representative, the Customer shall elect one or more Users to manage its teams and/or lists configured under the teams (“Administrators”).

- ensuring that all activities, User Content and user behaviour in the Customer’s teams on these Services are in compliance with the Customer Agreement,

- the Customer Representative elected by the Customer is unreachable for an extended period of time, no less than ten (10) business days,
The Customer understands and agrees that Twimo is not responsible for the administration and/or management of the Services as they apply specifically to the Customer’s teams, its Users or their User Content.
CUSTOMER DATA AND OWNERSHIP
Users of the Customer may submit User Content to the Services that individually and collectively form “Customer Data”.We claim no intellectual property rights over Customer Data. The Customer retains ownership of Customer Data, but by uploading it to the Services, the Customer grants us the worldwide, non-exclusive, limited-term license to access, use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, publish, distribute, perform, transmit, host and display Customer Data only as reasonably necessary to (i) provide, maintain, analyze, improve and update the Services, (ii) prevent or address service, security, support or technical issues; (iii) process as required by law or as permitted by the Customer Agreement or as instructed by the Customer.

The Customer acknowledges and understands that, based on the nature and scope of these instructions, Twimo’s execution of such Customer instructions may result in the access, use, disclosure, modification, processing or deletion of some or all Customer Data and the Customer agrees that Twimo shall not be liable for any such result or outcome.
USE OF THE SERVICES
The Acceptable Use Policy lays down what is acceptable and unacceptable conduct on the Services.The Customer must comply with the Customer Agreement and ensure that its Users comply with the Customer Agreement, the User Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy. The Customer is responsible for its Users, including any violations of the Customer Agreement by its Users.
We may review User conduct for compliance purposes, but we have no obligation to do so. We are not responsible for any User Content, Customer Data or the way the Customer or its Users choose to use the Services to store or process any Customer Data.
The Services are not intended for and should not be used by anyone under the age of 18. The Customer must ensure that all Users are over 18 years of age. The Customer is solely responsible for providing, at its cost, all equipment, software, and Internet access necessary for itself and its Users to access and use the Services.
If we believe that there is a violation of the Customer Agreement that can be remedied by the Customer’s action (for example, removal of certain Customer Data or a User Account), we will, in most cases, request the Customer to take action. However if the Customer does not take appropriate action or if we believe that there is a credible risk of harm to us, the Services, other customers, users or third parties, we reserve the right to take what we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate action that may result in, among other things, removal of Customer Data, termination or suspension of the Customer’s rights to use the Services and/or legal action.
SUBMISSIONS
We welcome questions, comments, suggestions and ideas about Twimo and our Services (“Feedback”) from our customers. The Customer agrees that any Feedback provided by the Customer or its Users shall become the sole property of Twimo. Twimo shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise. The Customer acknowledges that Twimo is not obligated to provide acknowledgment or compensation to the Customer, its Users or any other third party in exchange for Feedback.MODIFICATION OR DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICES
We reserve the right, at our discretion and without being liable to the Customer, its Users or to any third party, with or without prior notice, at any time and from time to time, to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any portion of our Services or the Services in their entirety. Any new features or improvements that augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Customer Agreement.SUBSCRIPTION, FEES AND PAYMENTS
The Services are made available to the Customer and its Users on a subscription basis. The subscription fee (“Subscription Fee”) is determined by Twimo based on the Customer’s stated requirements of features, usage limits, support, customisation and duration (“Subscription Plan”). The Subscription Fee and Subscription Plan (collectively the "Subscription Terms") shall be agreed upon by the Customer and Twimo before the commencement of the use of the Services by the Customer and its Users.A calendar month is the shortest unit of our billing cycle. The Subscription Fee is paid at the start of the billing cycle and is automatically renewed at the start of each new billing cycle.
All stated fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies or duties imposed by taxing authorities and the Customer shall be responsible for the payment of all such taxes, levies or duties. Where required by law, Twimo will collect applicable taxes on behalf of the taxing authorities, in addition to the stated fees, and remit those taxes to taxing authorities.
The Customer authorises Twimo, or its designated payment processor, to charge a specified credit card, debit card or other payment method for such fees, on a recurring basis at the start of each billing cycle.
Unless otherwise specified or agreed upon, all payments and fees are in United States dollars and all charges will be made in United States dollars. The Customer may incur currency exchange or foreign transaction fees based on its agreement with its credit card or other payment method provider.
In the event, the laws of the Customer’s jurisdiction do not permit the Customer to make payments through the modes of payments provided by us to the Customer or if we have indicated any such exclusions or exceptions that may apply to the Customer, the Customer may get in touch with us to discuss the alternative modes of payment. We are not liable for any losses that the Customer may incur as a result of its use of a mode of payment that is (i) not permitted by the laws of its jurisdiction, or (ii) falls under any such exclusions or exceptions that may apply to it as indicated by us.
The Customer agrees to base purchase decisions solely on the functionality and features of the Services available at the time of making the decision and not on the expectation of any future functionality or features of the Services, even if plans to deliver such functionality are shared by Twimo.
SUBSCRIPTION CHANGES
Twimo reserves the right, at our discretion and without being liable to the Customer, its Users or to any third party, at any time and from time to time, to change the Subscription Terms with written notice to the Customer.The Subscription Terms may be revised if the Customer anticipates significant changes to its requirements vis-a-vis the Subscription Terms that it communicates to Twimo in writing, or if the Customer’s or its Users' use of the Services significantly or consistently exceeds or otherwise deviates from the Subscription Terms, as determined by Twimo at its sole discretion. Twimo will provide the Customer with the revised Subscription Terms in writing and automatically change billing and/or the provisioning of the Services according to the revised Subscription Terms.
If the Customer does not agree to the revised Subscription Terms, the Customer must respond to Twimo within 3 working days and bring its use of the Services in line with the existing Subscription Terms.
In the event of revision of Subscription Terms, an increase in the Subscription Fee would trigger a one-time prorated charge for the remainder of the calendar month during which the revision is done. There will be no prorated refunds in the case of a decrease of the Subscription Fee for the calendar month during which the revision is done. If the Customer’s billing cycle is longer than a calendar month, a one-time, prorated charge in the case of an increase in the Subscription Fee, or refund in the case of a decrease in the Subscription Fee, for the remainder of the Customer’s billing cycle starting from the subsequent calendar month may be processed.
Downgrades or reduction in Subscription Terms may cause the loss of features and capacity in the Services offered to the Customer and its Users. Twimo is not liable for any loss arising from such a change.
CANCELLATIONS, TERMINATIONS AND REFUNDS
The Customer can request Twimo to terminate its subscription by sending an email to support@twimo.co at least 7 working days before the start of the next billing cycle. Twimo will cease billing the Customer from the next billing cycle following the receipt of this request but will not issue a prorated refund for the current, paid-up billing cycle, unless the Customer’s billing cycle is longer than a calendar month, in which case, a prorated refund for the remainder of the Customer’s billing cycle starting from the subsequent calendar month may be processed. Discounts given (if any) based on the Customer's commitment to a certain duration of the Subscription Plan would be revoked and deducted from the prorated refund amount.Twimo will permanently delete all Customer Data and User accounts belonging to the Customer within 30 days of the receipt of your request. The Customer Data, once deleted, cannot be recovered.
Twimo, at its sole discretion, with or without prior notice, has the right to suspend or terminate the Customer’s subscription and all its User accounts, and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services for any reason at any time, including but not limited to, nonpayment of fees, requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, or violation of the Customer Agreement. Such termination of the Services will result in the deactivation, deletion and forfeiture of the Customer’s User accounts, User Content and Customer Data. All payments and fees are nonrefundable for the paid-up billing cycle, including, without limitation, in situations where User Content or Customer Data is removed or User accounts terminated by Twimo due to violation of the Customer Agreement. If the Customer’s billing cycle is longer than a calendar month, a prorated refund for the remainder of the Customer’s billing cycle starting from the subsequent calendar month may be processed. Discounts given (if any) based on the Customer's commitment to a certain duration of the Subscription Plan would be revoked and deducted from the prorated refund amount. Twimo reserves the right to refuse our Services to anyone for any reason at any time.
In no event will any termination relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay any fees payable to us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
Refunds, if any, will be processed within 15-30 working days from the date when the complete details of the account to which the refund is to be credited, are received from the Customer.
We reserve the right to temporarily disable the Customer’s User accounts if the collective usage of the Customer and its Users significantly exceeds the Customer’s Subscription Plan and/or if their level of usage may negatively impact the availability and performance of the Services for other customers and users.
