Getting Started
Welcome to Arctic Shores! |
1. 1 Welcome! We’re happy to have you on board. These Terms and Conditions set out how You may use Our Platform and Services. They also describe Our obligations and liabilities to you with respect to Our Platform and the Services we provide You. Please read them carefully. |
When Our Relationship Starts and Ends |
1.2 Our Agreement with You begins on the Start Date and continues for the Initial Term that is stated in Your Order Form. At the end of that Initial Term, the Agreement will continue for a Renewal Term which is also your Order Form. It will extend again on each anniversary of that Renewal Term, so You don’t have to do anything if you want the Agreement to keep renewing. Except for any clauses that survive termination (such as confidentiality), this Agreement will not continue past the Initial Term if there is no Renewal Term stated in your Order Form. The Agreement will also not continue for any new Renewal Term if one of us gives the other a written notice of termination during any Notice Period. This Agreement can also end if it is terminated in accordance with the other provisions of the Agreement which provide for a right to terminate the Agreement (such as under clause 5.2 (d) if the other party is insolvent). |
Quotations |
1.3. We may provide You with a Quotation for the provision of Our Services to You. This Quotation will not be legally binding on Us or You until it becomes an Order Form. A Quotation becomes an Order Form when it is (1) signed by You, and (2) agreed by Us – either when we subsequently countersign it or when we commence our provision of the Services to You. |
We may make changes to this Agreement |
1.4. We’ve aimed to keep our Agreement as simple and readable as possible, but we may update it from time to time. When we update our Agreement, we will let You know either the next time You log-in to Our Platform or We will send Your Administrative User an email. We will do this at least 30 days before those changes come into effect. If You don’t agree with the changes we have made to Our Agreement, You have 10 days from the date that We notify You to provide Us with written notice of that. If we don’t agree to continue Our Agreement with You without the changes, you may terminate the Agreement (and we will provide you with a refund). By continuing to access Our Platform and use Our Services, You confirm Your acceptance to Our updated Agreement. |
