thinkSuite Terms of Service

The Services (as hereinafter defined) obtained from or through thinkSuite, LLC, or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“thinkSuite”) are licensed, not sold, to a subscriber (“User”) for use only under these terms of service, unless other products or services are accompanied by a separate license agreement, in which case the terms of that separate license agreement will govern, subject to User’s prior acceptance of that separate license agreement. thinkSuite reserves all rights not expressly granted to User. The Services to be provided under this licensed application user license agreement (this “License”) consist of software and related services accessed through thinkSuite’s website (the “Services”). The Services that are subject to this License are sometimes referred to in this License as the “Licensed Application”. This License, together with the applicable Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), available at https://thinksuite.app/privacy (collectively, this “Agreement”) sets out the terms and conditions governing User’s use of the License and the Services hereunder.

BY USING THE SERVICES, USER IS ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE.

Article I: Scope of License

Article I.1

thinkSuite hereby grants to User a limited, revocable, non-transferrable License for User to access and use the Services on any Internet-accessible device owned or controlled by User. User agrees that the Services contain proprietary content, information, and material that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including, but not limited to, copyright laws, and that User will not use such proprietary content, information, or materials in any way whatsoever except for permitted uses of the Services. User may not distribute or make the Licensed Application available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices or multiple persons at the same time, except as specifically provided herein and in accordance with the permissions granted to User pursuant to the level of service purchased by User. User may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the Licensed Application or Services. User may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this License), decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the Licensed Application, any updates, or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open sourced components included with the Licensed Application). Any attempt to do so is a violation of the rights of thinkSuite and its licensors. If User breaches this restriction, User may be subject to prosecution and damages. The terms of this License will govern any upgrades provided by thinkSuite that replace and/or supplement the original Services unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license that contradicts or supersedes this License, in which case the terms of such separate license will govern.

Article II: Consent to Use of Data

Article II.1

All terms and conditions of thinkSuite’s Privacy Policy are incorporated into this License as if repeated here in full and shall apply to data provided by User or any person User authorizes to use the Licensed Application. All information collected by thinkSuite through the Licensed Application is subject to the Privacy Policy. By using the Licensed Application, User consents to all actions taken by thinkSuite with respect to its information in compliance with the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is subject to change from time to time, as posted on the thinkSuite website. Such changes will be effective upon posting on thinkSuite’s website, and User’s continued access to and use of the Licensed Application or Services thereafter shall constitute User’s acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy.

Article II.2

User may not use thinkSuite’s name or trademarks without the prior written permission of thinkSuite. thinkSuite may use User’s name, logo, and/or trademarks to identify User as a user of thinkSuite.

Article II.3

User acknowledges and agrees that thinkSuite must retain certain information of User, including User’s email address and user ID, IP address, billing information (name and contact information), payment address and payment details (credit card or bank account information) for invoicing and tracking, product functionality, authorization, task access log and reporting, regardless of whether User pays for any Services or Licensed Application hereunder. Any User request for thinkSuite to delete such User’s email address or user identification information will materially harm User’s use of the Services and the Licensed Application. User agrees to inform and receive consent from any employees or other persons if User uses such employee’s or other person’s email address or other identifying information as User’s identification for tracking purposes hereunder. In addition, thinkSuite may require certain information to be disclosed by User for invoicing purposes and in order to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, Value Added Tax ID numbers and other verification process information, including, without limitation, billing information (name and contact information), payment address and payment details (credit card or bank account information), which information User agrees to make available to thinkSuite from time to time and authorizes thinkSuite to use and possess in its sole discretion for invoicing purposes and in order to comply with applicable law. User agrees to provide to thinkSuite its email and username for purposes of communication and support. thinkSuite may request User’s password in order to provide such User with support, which password User agrees can be used by thinkSuite in remedying the problem and deleted within 7 days of thinkSuite’s resolution of such User request. In reliance on a legitimate interest, thinkSuite may request additional information from User during User’s use of the Services in order to create a personalized experience for such User from time to time.

Article II.4

Pursuant to the GDPR (as defined below), the obligations of data controllers are distinguished from data processors. A data controller means “the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data” and a data processor means “a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.” User acknowledges and agrees that, unless otherwise explicitly provided herein, User is the data controller of all data and information provided by User or associated with User’s use of the Services or the Licensed Application, including, without limitation, any data imported from any third-party site, application, or software that is integrated with the Licensed Application.

Article II.5

Any feedback, comments, or stories posted or submitted by User regarding thinkSuite, the Services, or the Licensed Application will be published by thinkSuite with User’s consent. User may withdraw its consent from time to time, and within a reasonable amount of time of such request, thinkSuite shall delete or destroy any of such information. After termination of this License in accordance with its terms, any discussion or comments, along with tasks and projects, created or submitted by User inside the Licensed Application will be retained. However, such data will undergo an appropriate process of anonymization. Some of the retained data collected while offering support services will be used, in anonymized form, for the improvement of the Licensed Application.

Article II.6

thinkSuite stores user data on servers located in France, the United States of America, and Canada. For the performance of this License, it is necessary that the data be processed in Serbia, where the thinkSuite operating facility is located. By accepting this License or using the Services or Licensed Application, User agrees to this transfer as necessary or desirable for the performance of a contract between User and thinkSuite, including this License. Every transfer of personal data will be subject to suitable relevant safeguards, such as “standard contractual clauses” adopted by the European Commission and Security measures that are part of the Privacy Policy.

In the event the Confidential Information is disclosed visually or orally, the information shall be identified as confidential at the time of such disclosure.

Article VII.2
