Subject to this Agreement and payment of the applicable fees, Hopin will provide the Services specified in Your Order, and hereby grants You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (subject to Sections 1.2 and 1.3) revocable right to access the Platform and use the Services during the applicable Subscription Period. The license granted hereunder is personal to You, and You may not re-use or share Your license with a third party, such as Your own customer or client, unless otherwise agreed to in a separate writing. If you are an agency or reseller interested in our Certified Partner Program, contact us by emailing [email protected].

1.2. Non-Hopin Products. Non-Hopin Products are governed solely by the terms and privacy policies of such Non-Hopin Products. Hopin is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations or warranties as to, any aspect of such Non-Hopin Products. By enabling Non-Hopin Products, You are expressly permitting Hopin to disclose Your Event Content and applicable account data as necessary to facilitate the use or enablement of such Non-Hopin Products. Integration with any Non-Hopin Product is provided as a courtesy and based on the then-current Non-Hopin Product’s service and integration method (e.g., API, iFrame, SDK). Hopin shall use reasonable efforts to continue such integration but makes no promises or guarantee that such integration shall remain throughout the Subscription Period.

1.3. Upgrades; Add-Ons. You can upgrade Your Subscription Plan or purchase Add-Ons at any time during Your Subscription Period by visiting Your account. Your upgrade or Add-On will be effective immediately once We successfully charge Your payment method for the increased fees. If Your Subscription Plan has the same renewal period (e.g., month-to-month or annual renewal), We will charge You for the prorated difference between Your current subscription and the upgraded one based on the number of days left in Your current Subscription Period so that Your Subscription Plan renewal date remains the same. If Your Subscription Plan is changing from month-to-month to annual, We will charge You immediately for the full annual Subscription Fee and reset Your renewal date for one year thereafter.

1.4. Downgrades. You can downgrade Your Subscription Plan or reduce Your Add-Ons during a Subscription Period in Your account, but such downgrades will not become effective until the end of Your current Subscription Period, and You will not receive a refund or credit for such downgrade or reduction of features. You must remove Team Members before the downgraded renewal Subscription Period begins. Downgrading Your Subscription Plan may cause loss of content, features, or functionality of the Service available to You, and Hopin accepts no liability for such loss.

1.5. Support. Hopin provides 24/7 remote monitoring of the Platform and Services, and the global help desk available 24/7 by visiting https://support.hopin.to/en/. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven days a week, but availability is not guaranteed and may be disrupted, unavailable, or inoperable due to: (a) unforeseeable circumstances, or foreseeable circumstances that despite Our commercially reasonable measures to prevent are not within Our ability to fully prevent (including but not limited to widespread internet disruptions, interruption of services by Our service providers that was not caused by Us, and malicious third party acts); (b) emergency security measures; or (c) planned downtime of which We will give advance notice to the account owner. You acknowledge that while the Services are designed for ease of use, it is Your responsibility to ensure that any individuals involved in accessing and using the Services are appropriately trained to use any applicable third party technology, and have reviewed the relevant Hopin training materials and Documentation made available to You. You are solely responsible for procuring any third party cooperation reasonably required for the receipt of Services and for ensuring that Your IT infrastructure complies with the relevant specifications to use the Services provided by Hopin.

2.2. Fee Changes. Hopin may increase or decrease the Subscription Fees in its sole discretion. Any change to the Subscription Fees will only become effective upon renewal of Your Subscription Plan. We will give you reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription Fees to give you an opportunity to terminate Your Subscription Plan before such change becomes effective.
