PLEASE REVIEW THOROUGHLY BEFORE ACCEPTING. THESE TRIAL TERMS SUPPLEMENT AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE ELATE TERMS OF SERVICE.

BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” OR BY USING THE ELATE SERVICES TRIAL, YOU ARE AGREEING TO ALL OF THE TRIAL TERMS STATED HEREIN. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT CLICK “I ACCEPT,” AND DO NOT USE THE ELATE SERVICES.
Elate will provide the Services, and you may access and use the Services, in accordance with this Trial Agreement.
System Requirements. Use of the Services requires one or more compatible devices, Internet access (fees may apply), and certain software (fees may apply), and may require obtaining updates or upgrades from time to time. Because use of the Service involves hardware, software, and Internet access, Your ability to access and use the Service may be affected by the performance of these factors. High speed Internet access is recommended. You acknowledge and agree that such system requirements, which may be changed from time to time, are Your responsibility.

“You”or “Your” means you as an individual and/or (inclusive) the company or other legal entity for which You are accepting this Trial Agreement.

B. Trial Period. This Trial Agreement is effective upon your acceptance of this Trial Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and will terminate thirty (30) days from the Effective Date unless ended earlier in accordance with this agreement (the “Trial Period”).

USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. ANY MATERIAL AND/OR DATA DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK.

ELATE DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR RETENTION OF ANY USER INFORMATION OR COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN USERS. ELATE CANNOT GUARANTEE AND DOES NOT PROMISE ANY SPECIFIC RESULTS FROM USE OF THE SERVICES. USE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
E. Support Services. The Services offered under this Trial Agreement provide an opportunity for new and potential Elate customers to experience the Elate Services before purchasing a subscription. The Services provided under this Trial Agreement are provided as a convenience and You agree that Elate is not obligated to provide any technical support, phone support, or updates for the Services within the Trial Period.

G. Fees. The services under this agreement are provided to you free of charge during the Trial Period.
H. Entire Agreement. This Trial Agreement, and by incorporation the Elate Terms of Service, embodies the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties respecting the subject matter of this Trial Agreement and supersedes any and all prior understandings and agreements between the Parties respecting such subject matter, except that if You or Your company have executed a separate written agreement or you have signed an Order referencing a separate agreement governing Your use of the Services, then such agreement shall control to the extent that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the terms of such agreement. Elate may elect to change or supplement the terms of this Trial Agreement from time to time at its sole discretion. Elate will exercise commercially reasonable business efforts to provide notice to You of any material changes to this Trial Agreement. Within ten (10) business days of posting changes to this Trial Agreement (or ten (10) business days from the date of notice, if such is provided), they will be binding on You. If You do not agree with the changes, You should discontinue using the Services. If You continue using the Services after such ten-business-day period, You will be deemed to have accepted the changes to the terms of this Trial Agreement. In order to participate in certain Services, You may be notified that You are required to download software and/or agree to additional terms and conditions. Unless expressly set forth in such additional terms and conditions, those additional terms are hereby incorporated into this Trial Agreement. This Trial Agreement has been prepared in the English Language and such version shall be controlling in all respects and any non-English version of this Agreement is solely for accommodation purposes.

IN ANY CASE, ELATE’S, ITS AFFILIATES', SUPPLIERS' AND RESELLERS' MAXIMUM CUMULATIVE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICES (IF ANY) IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCES GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIMS. Because some states and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability, the above limitation may not apply to You.
17. PRIVACY AND OTHER POLICIES.
- a. Use of the Services is also subject to Elate’s Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy and all other policies applicable to the Services are available at the following and are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. Furthermore, if Your Use of the Services requires Elate to process any personally identifiable information (“PII” or “Personal Data”) Elate shall do so at all times in compliance with its Privacy Policy.
- b. To the extent the provision of the Services under these Terms of Service involves the processing of Customer Personal Data subject to the European Data Protection Laws by Elate on behalf of You (each such non-defined capitalized term having the meaning given in the EU/GDPR Data Protection Addendum), the terms of the EU/GDPR Data Protection Addendum shall apply and are incorporated by this reference. Where applicable, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the EU/GDPR Data Protection Addendum and the terms of this Section 17, the terms of the EU/GDPR Data Protection Addendum shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.
- c. Additionally, You understand and agree that Elate may contact You via email or otherwise with information relevant to Your use of the Services, regardless of whether You have opted out of receiving marketing communications or notices.
18. MISCELLANEOUS
- a. Choice of Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Indiana, U.S.A. The courts of the state of Indiana in the county of Marion and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any such lawsuit arising between the parties.
- b. Waiver and Severability. Failure by either Party to exercise any of its rights under, or to enforce any provision of, this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of such rights or ability to enforce such provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
- c. General Provisions. This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties respecting the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any and all prior understandings and agreements between the Parties respecting such subject matter, except that if You or Your company have executed a separate written agreement or you have signed an Order referencing a separate agreement governing Your use of the Services, then such agreement shall control to the extent that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the terms of such agreement. Elate may elect to change or supplement the terms of this Agreement from time to time at its sole discretion. Elate will exercise commercially reasonable business efforts to provide notice to You of any material changes to this Agreement. Within ten (10) business days of posting changes to this Agreement (or ten (10) business days from the date of notice, if such is provided), they will be binding on You. If You do not agree with the changes, You should discontinue using the Services. If You continue using the Services after such ten-business-day period, You will be deemed to have accepted the changes to the terms of this Agreement. In order to participate in certain Services, You may be notified that You are required to download software and/or agree to additional terms and conditions. Unless expressly set forth in such additional terms and conditions, those additional terms are hereby incorporated into this Agreement. This Agreement has been prepared in the English Language and such version shall be controlling in all respects and any non-English version of this Agreement is solely for accommodation purposes.
- d. Disputes. A dispute is any controversy between You and Elate concerning the Services, any software related to the Services, the price of the Services, Your account, Elate’s advertising, marketing, or communications, Your purchase transaction or billing, or any term of this Agreement, under any legal theory including contract, warranty, tort, statute, or regulation, except disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of Your or Elate’s intellectual property rights. As part of the best efforts process to resolve disputes, and prior to initiating arbitration proceedings, each party agrees to provide notice of the dispute to the other party, including a description of the dispute, what efforts have been made to resolve it, and what the disputing party is requesting as resolution, to support@goelate.com. You may initiate an action in your local Small Claims Court if You meet the court’s requirements. However, if such a claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, Elate reserves the right to require arbitration. Disputes shall be resolved through arbitration. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. For more information, see www.adr.org. Arbitration hearings will take place in the federal judicial district of Your primary business location. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator must: (a) follow all applicable substantive Law; (b) follow applicable statutes of limitations; (c) honor valid claims of privilege; (d) issue a written decision including the reasons for the award. The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), as may be appropriate and permissible by applicable law. Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. Under AAA Rules, the arbitrator rules on his or her own jurisdiction, including the arbitrability of any claim; however, a court has exclusive authority to enforce the prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity. This Agreement governs if there is a conflict with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules.
- e. Requirement to File Within One Year. Notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, a claim or dispute under this Agreement must be filed in Small Claims Court or noticed for arbitration within one year of when it could first be filed, or such claim will be permanently barred.
