Terms of service

Welcome to the Edisen – and thank you for visiting. We hope you enjoy the experience!

These terms and conditions (the “terms” or this “agreement”) are a legal contract between you (“you”) and edisen, llc. (“edisen” or “us” or “our” or “we”). The terms explain how you are permitted to use and access the website located at the url: edisen.com as well as all associated sites linked to edisen.com by edisen, its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (collectively, the “site”) and all services (as defined below) and any software that we provide to you that allows you to access the site or services from a device (an “application”). By using this site or the services, you are agreeing to all the terms; if you do not agree with any of these terms, do not access or otherwise use this site, any services available through this site or any information contained on this site. By accepting these terms, or by accessing or using the site or services, or authorizing an end user to access or use the services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you accept or agree to these terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such company or other legal entity to these terms, and in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to such company or other legal entity.

Key terms.

“account” means any edisen accounts or instances created by you or on your behalf within the site for use of the services.

“authorized end user” means, collectively you and any of your individual employees, agents, or contractors accessing or using the services, under the rights granted to you pursuant to these terms.

“content” means the data, information, text, messages, media, feedback, materials and content provided by you and/or any authorized end users for use in connection with the site or services.

“documentation” means text and/or graphical documentation, whether in electronic or printed format, that describe the features, functions and operation of the services, which materials are designed to facilitate use of the services and which are provided by edisen to you in accordance with these terms.

“materials” mean collectively all the text, data, information, software, graphics, photographs and more, including the documentation, in each case that we make available to you through the site. Materials include any and all intellectual property embodied in or in connection with the materials.

“services” mean any and all services, tools, software, content, applications and functionalities as may be provided by edisen from time to time through the site. Certain services may be subject to additional terms and conditions.

Changes to terms.

We may alter the materials and services we offer you and/or choose to modify, suspend or discontinue this site at any time and without notifying you. We may also change, update, add or remove provisions (collectively, “modifications”) of these terms from time to time. Because everyone benefits from clarity, we promise to inform you of any modifications to these terms by posting them on this site and, if you have registered with us, by describing the modifications to these terms in an email that we will send to the address that you provided when registering on this site. To be sure we properly reach your email inbox, we just ask that you let us know if your preferred email address changes at any time after your registration.

If you object to any such modifications, your sole recourse shall be to cease using this site. Continued use of this site following notice of any such modifications indicates you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the modifications. Also, please know that these terms may be superseded by expressly-designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages of this site. These expressly-designated legal notices or terms are incorporated into these terms and supersede the provision(s) of these terms that are designated as being superseded.

General use of the site.

We invite you to use this site for your internal business purposes (“permitted purposes”).

In these terms we are granting you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use and to display the materials; your right to use the materials is conditioned on your compliance with these terms, and any applicable additional terms (as defined below). You have no other rights in this site or any materials and you may not modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit any of this site or materials in any manner. If you make copies of any of this site while engaging in permitted purposes then we ask that you be sure to keep on the copies all of our copyright and other proprietary notices as they appear on this site. You acknowledge that certain services may be subject to additional terms and conditions ( “additional terms”) which additional terms shall be made available to you prior to registration for such services.

Unfortunately, if you breach any of these terms, the above license will terminate automatically and you must immediately destroy any downloaded or printed materials (and any copies thereof).

Use of the site and the services by you and authorized end users.

We appreciate you visiting this site and allow you to do just that – stop by and leisurely check it out without even registering with us! However, in order to access certain password-restricted areas of this site (such as viewing this site’s blog posts and other content (as defined below)) and to use certain services and materials offered on and through this site, you must successfully register an account with us. You may be permitted to invite other persons to register an account with us, in which case any such additional persons may register and access the site and materials in accordance with these terms.

If you desire to register for an account with Edisen, you must submit the following information through the account registration page on the site: name, email, mailing address, billing address, and payment information. Once you have submitted your account registration information, Edisen shall have the right to approve or reject the requested registration, in Edisen’s sole discretion. If your account is approved by Edisen, you will be sent an e-mail that contains the necessary password creation instructions (“account password”) and network links or connections (“access protocols”) that will allow you to log-on and access the services using that password for the first time though the site. You will have the ability to revise your account password through the settings within the services. All the information that you provide when registering for an account through the site must be accurate, complete and up to date. You may change, correct or remove any information from your account by either logging into your account directly and making the desired changes or contacting edisen using the contact information at the end of these terms requesting that we make the change.

Applications.

We make available applications to you in order to access services from us. To use the application you must have a device that is compatible with such application. We do not warrant that the application will be compatible with your device. We hereby grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to permit the number of authorized end users for which you have ordered and paid applicable fees to use object code copies of the applications on the number and type of devices set forth in an order form accepted by edisen. You may not: (i) modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the application, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly prohibited by law; (ii) rent, lease, loan, resell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer the application to any third-party or use the application to provide time sharing or similar services for any third-party; (iii) make any copies of the application; (iv) remove, circumvent, disable, damage or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the application, features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content accessible through the application, or features that enforce limitations on use of the application; or (v) delete the copyright and other proprietary rights notices on the application. You acknowledge that we may from time to time issue upgraded versions of the application, and may automatically electronically upgrade the version of the application that you are using on your mobile device. You consent to such automatic upgrading on your mobile device, and agree that these terms will apply to all such upgrades. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the application or any copy thereof, and we and our third-party licensors or suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in and to the application (and any copy of the application). Standard carrier data charges may apply to your use of the application.

The parties agree that apple and apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries to these terms as they relate to your license of our ios app. Upon your acceptance of these terms, apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these terms against you as they relate to your license of the ios app as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

The following additional terms and conditions apply with respect to any application that we provide to you designed for use on an android-powered mobile device (an “android app”):

You acknowledge that these terms are between you and us only, and not with google, inc. (“google”).

We respect the information that you provide to us, and want to be sure you fully understand exactly how we use that information. So, please review our privacy policy (“privacy policy”) which explains everything.

Fees and payment terms.

If applicable, you agree to pay all fees or charges to your account (collectively, “fees”) based on edisen’s fees, charges, and billing terms set forth in any order form executed by you with respect to the services or this site. We may suspend or terminate your account and/or access to our services and this site if your payment is late and/or your offered payment method (e.g., credit card or paypal account) cannot be processed. By providing a payment method, you expressly authorize us to charge the applicable fees on said payment method as well as taxes and other charges incurred thereto at regular intervals, all of which depend on your particular membership and utilized services. Unless otherwise provided in an order form agreed by you and us, all such fees shall be due and payable within thirty (30) calendar days after an invoice is issued by edisen with respect to such fees. If you cancel your account at any time for any reason, you will not receive any refund. If you have a balance due on any account, you agree that edisen may charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.

These electronic communications may include notices about applicable fees and charges, transactional information and other information concerning or related to the site and/or services provided on or through the site. These electronic communications are part of your relationship with edisen. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.
