THESE TERMS (HEREINAFTER, THE “AGREEMENT”) CONSTITUTE A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU, AS AN INDIVIDUAL, BUSINESS ENTITY, OR CHANNEL PARTNER ORDERING THE SERVICES (“YOU” OR “CUSTOMER”) AND MAUTIC, INC. (“MAUTIC” OR "COMPANY").
FOR THE RIGHT TO USE MAUTIC’S SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE, AND ANY APPLICABLE SERVICES OR PROGRAMS, (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SERVICES”). THE TERM “PROGRAM” REFERS TO THE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS OWNED, SUPPORTED AND/OR DISTRIBUTED BY MAUTIC, TO WHICH MAUTIC GRANTS YOU ACCESS AS A PARTY OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION, AND ANY PROGRAM UPDATES PROVIDED AS PART OF THE SERVICES.
BY ACCESSING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY AND ANY OF ITS USERS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE SERVICES.
IF YOU ARE ACCESSING THE SERVICES ELECTRONICALLY BY CREATING OR ACCESSING AN ACCOUNT, YOU AGREE THAT:
(i) YOU HAVE THE REQUISITE AUTHORITY AND RIGHT TO FULLY BIND THE CUSTOMER USING THE SERVICES AND;
(ii) TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL TERMS, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.
1. SERVICES.
This agreement is between, Mautic, Inc. (“Mautic”), a Delaware corporation, and you (“you”, “your”, “Customer”, “User”), as an authorized user of any service (“Service”) as described in the applicable Service subscription options from Mautic via a Mautic authorized statement of work, order form or purchase order (collectively, the “Purchase Order”).
A paying customer (“Paying Customer") of Mautic will require a countersigned Purchase Order, which will include such other incidental resources, technology, functions, upgrades, enhancements, or documentation, as required for proper performance and use of the Services. Such incidental resources could include training and support, professional or any other services procured separately from Mautic. Dependencies, if any, related to Mautic’s performance or delivery requirements and Customer receipt or use of the Services shall be described by Mautic online or otherwise in writing in advance to Customer as part of such Purchase Order. The Services do not include any third-party technology that is licensed between Customer and a third-party licensor under separate terms. Mautic may, in its sole discretion periodically during the term of this Agreement modify, change, enhance, correct or upgrade the Services (including addition of features and functionality thereto, and removal of features and functionality therefrom).
2. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS.
(2a) Fees. Paying customers are subject to fees for service. Unless otherwise specified in a Purchase Order, all fees payable to Mautic are due net thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of each invoice. Unpaid fees which are not subject to a good faith dispute shall be subject to a percentage of a finance charge per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all reasonable expenses of collection incurred by Mautic.
(2b) Taxes. Customer shall pay all taxes, tariffs and transportation costs relating to, or incurred under, this Agreement (including any separately stated sales, use, excise or value added taxes), exclusive of taxes based on or measured by Mautic’s net income, unless Customer is exempt from the payment of such taxes and provides Mautic with acceptable evidence of such exemption.
(2c) Unless otherwise disclosed, all rights granted to Customer herein are contingent upon Customer’s payment of all applicable fees for the Services, products and support.
3. TERM.
(3a) Term. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the rights set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date, and remain in effect until all Purchase Orders, Channel Partner or Reseller Agreement (if applicable) hereunder have expired or terminated. The initial term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Purchase Order, Channel Partner or Reseller Agreement (the “Initial Term”).
Except as otherwise specified in a Purchase Order, Channel Partner Agreement or Reseller Agreement, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) equal to the expiring subscription term or one year (whichever is shorter), unless either Party gives the other Party written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the applicable subscription term. The per-unit pricing during any automatic renewal term will be the same as that during the immediately prior term unless Mautic provides written notice of a pricing increase at least 30 days before the end of that prior term or addresses price increases in the original Purchase Order, in which case the pricing increase will be effective upon such renewal and thereafter.
Paying Customers and non-paying users (“Free Users”) are obligated to abide by Mautic’s Acceptable Use Policy when using the Services. Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy – or the few items directly below – can result in Mautic suspending or terminating all present and future accounts (“accounts”) related to that individual, group or organization.
- Free Users may not create more than one free Mautic account – whether it is a freemium account, a free sandbox account, or a free trial account – under multiple names or email addresses for their individual, organizational or clients' needs. If an individual or organization wishes to create, access and/or use multiple Mautic accounts, they must speak with Mautic about upgrading their account.
- Paying Customers and Free Users are not permitted to participate in, or perform, load testing or performance testing for any Mautic Products or Services. Such testing can be requested of Mautic by Paying Customers.
(3b) Termination for Default. Either party has the right to terminate this Agreement (or any Purchase Order), in whole or in part, if the other party breaches or is in default of any material obligation hereunder, which default is incapable of cure or which, being capable of cure, has not been cured within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of written notice from the non- defaulting party or within such additional cure period as the non-defaulting party may authorize. If Mautic terminates due to a default by Customer, Mautic may terminate this Agreement and/or applicable Purchase Order(s) without liability to Customer, and Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Purchase Orders. In no event will termination relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any fees payable to Mautic for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
(3c) Termination for Bankruptcy. Customer shall provide Mautic advance written notice of any material adverse change to Customer’s financial condition, credit rating, or viability. If Customer becomes insolvent, takes any step leading to its cessation as a going concern, fails to pay its debts as they become due, or ceases business operations, then Mautic may immediately terminate this Agreement and any Purchase Orders then in effect. All rights and licenses granted by Customer are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101 et. seq.) or other similar laws in other countries (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Code”), or any replacement provision thereof, licenses to rights to “intellectual property” as defined in such Bankruptcy Code. Mautic, as licensor of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code subject to any obligations of Mautic under such Bankruptcy Code. In the event of the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by or against Customer (or its affiliates), Mautic will be entitled to retain its rights of use and licenses under this Agreement subject to Customer’s (and its affiliates’) rights under the Bankruptcy Code.
(3d) Effects of Termination; Survival. Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights and licenses granted hereunder shall cease, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Those provisions of this Agreement which, by their nature, are meant to survive termination shall so survive, and include without limitation provisions related to ownership of intellectual property, confidentiality, indemnification, limitation of liability, warranties and representations, governing law and venue, and payment. Customer shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay any monies due or to become due as of or after the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement.
(3e) Suspension or Deletion of Free User Accounts. Mautic may suspend or delete a Free User account, without advance notice, if the account violates any part of the Acceptable Use Policy or these Terms of Service; is deemed by Mautic to be abandoned after 180 days of login inactivity; is deemed by Mautic to create excessive overhead for our infrastructure or team(s) by exceeding our data limits for total contacts, anonymous contacts or page hits; or for Mautic's convenience. This is true for freemium accounts, free sandbox accounts, or free trial accounts. If Mautic chooses to delete or suspend that account, the Free User will not be able to:
(i) access this account or any data therein;
(ii) send any additional emails or messages;
(iii) access any other feature-functionality that is part of Mautic's Services
4. OWNERSHIP OF Mautic INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP).

Mautic retains all rights not expressly granted to Customer in this Agreement or in a Purchase Order. Customer agrees to protect and maintain Mautic's Intellectual Property Rights of the Services with regard to any third parties except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that its breach of confidentiality as it relates to Mautic's Intellectual Property Rights would cause Mautic injury and entitle Mautic to obtain equitable relief, in addition to all other remedies available to it. Customer further acknowledges that Customer is acquiring only a limited license to use the Services and not any title to or ownership of the Services or any part thereof and that the Services is proprietary to and copyrighted by Mautic.
