EXECWEB PLATFORM TERMS OF SERVICE

  1. Introduction.
    1. Execweb Inc. (“Execweb” or “we”) provides a platform for identifying, engaging, and managing high-level subject matter experts (the “Platform”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents incorporated by reference herein (these “Terms”), govern your access to and use of the Platform.
    2. By making use of the Platform, you agree to these Terms.
  2. Accessing the Platform; Account Security.
    1. Registration. To use or access the Platform, you are required to register for a client account. As part of your registration, we may ask you to provide information such as name, address or payment information (such information, “Registration Information”). You agree to provide us with accurate, complete and updated Registration Information.
    2. Corporate Account Control. If you create a client account as a representative of or on behalf of an organization (e.g. by using a corporate email address), that organization will be entitled to control and modify that client account and to otherwise exercise its rights under these Terms. If your organization elects to replace you as the representative with ultimate authority for the client account, we will provide you with notice following such election and you agree to take any actions reasonably requested by us or your organization to facilitate the transfer of authority to a new representative of the organization.
    3. Account Security. You agree to safeguard your client account and to make sure that others do not have access to your client account or password. You are solely responsible for any activity on your client account and for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your password. We are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your client account. You must immediately notify us if you know or have any reason to suspect that your client account has been accessed without your authorization or that your client account or password has been stolen, misappropriated or otherwise compromised.
    4. Eligibility. If you are an individual, you hereby represent and warrant that you are at or beyond the age of majority within your jurisdiction and, in any event, older than eighteen (18) years of age. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, please discontinue your use of the Platform. Execweb reserves the right to ask for proof of age and to withhold or terminate your use of the Platform if you are below the specified age requirement. You represent and warrant that you have the right, authority and capacity to agree to these Terms and to abide by all of the terms and conditions herein.
    5. Geographical Limitations. Accessing or using the Platform may be prohibited or restricted in certain countries or jurisdictions. Your right to use or access any of the Platform is void in any jurisdiction where such use or access is prohibited. You are responsible for complying with the laws and regulations of the country, territory or jurisdiction from which you access or use the Platform. By accessing or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of, as the case may be, any person, organization or country which the United States has (i) identified as a “Specially Designated National,” (ii) placed on the Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders or (iii) specified as the target of a commercial embargo.
    6. Usage Monitoring. In order to improve the Platform for the benefit of you, your affiliates, and Execweb clients in general, you hereby agree that Execweb may, but is not obligated to, monitor the use of the Services by you and your affiliates.
  3. Platform Content.
    1. Execweb IP. The Platform and its entire contents, features, and functionality (including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof) are owned by Execweb, its licensors, or other providers of such material (collectively, “Execweb IP”) and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.
    2. Limited License. Execweb grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to access and use the Platform and other Execweb IP solely in accordance with these Terms. Such license is automatically revoked upon a termination of these Terms or your violation thereof. Except as explicitly provided in these Terms, neither Execweb nor its licensors grant you any right, license, title or any related intellectual property rights in the Platform or any other Execweb IP. You shall not reproduce, distribute, modify, retransmit, or publish any Execweb IP or any other copyrighted, trademarked, patented or otherwise protected material without the express written consent of the applicable owner or licensor.
    3. Ambassador Content. Certain content on the Platform is created and developed by the experts and executives under contract on the Platform (“Executive Ambassadors”) and provided to Execweb under license (“Ambassador Content”). Execweb cannot guarantee and makes no representations as to the accuracy or quality of Ambassador Content, all of which is offered “as is.” Execweb does not develop, endorse, and is not responsible for Ambassador Content. The use of a company or entity name in Executive Ambassador biographical or employment information should not be construed as an express or implied endorsement by such company or entity of Execweb. Executive Ambassadors have agreed to be bound by the certain terms and conditions and have represented, among other things, that they will not disclose information that is subject to a confidentiality obligation or participate in activities in violation of any agreements or duties owed to employers or other third parties. Execweb relies on the accuracy of these representations of the Executive Ambassador and does not necessarily seek independent verification.
    4. Feedback. To the extent that you give us feedback, comments, or suggestions concerning the Platform (collectively, “Feedback”), you acknowledge and agree that all Feedback is Execweb’s sole and exclusive property. You agree to irrevocably assign and transfer to us, and hereby do assign and transfer to us all of your right, title, and interest in and to the Feedback, including all intellectual property rights therein. To the extent that the foregoing assignment is ineffective for whatever reason, you agree to grant and hereby grant to Execweb a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, worldwide license (with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses) to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, sell, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, display, perform and otherwise exploit such Feedback without restriction. At Execweb’s request and expense, you shall execute documents and take such further acts as we may reasonably request to assist us in acquiring, perfecting and maintaining our intellectual property rights in and other legal protections for the Feedback.
    5. Recorded Content. Execweb may record roundtable discussions for syndication on its platform. Your hereby irrevocably grants Execweb permission, authorization, and license to produce such recordings and to make them, or any modification thereof available to Execweb’s clients or potential clients in any medium, throughout the world and without any further consent from or royalty to you.

You also agree not to send altered, deceptive or false source-identifying information (including any misleading or incorrect names, email addresses or subject lines), including, without limitation, phishing or spoofing.
      • Deceptive, Fraudulent or Criminal Behavior. You agree not to, and agree to use your best efforts to ensure that your affiliates do not: (i) use the Platform to act in a way that is false, fraudulent, inaccurate or deceiving; (ii) impersonate another person, company or entity; (iii) engage in misleading or unethical marketing or advertising; (iv) use unauthorized credit cards, debit cards or other unauthorized payment devices on the Platform; (v) promote or advertise products or services other than your own without appropriate authorization; (vi) sell the Platform unless specifically authorized to do so by Execweb; (vii) infringe or misappropriate anyone’s copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights or to violate anyone’s privacy or publicity rights; or (viii) violate any laws through your use of the Platform, including, without limitation, all local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content.

If we conclude, in our sole discretion, that you have misused the Platform, we may take corrective action. We do our best to ensure fair outcomes, but in all cases, we reserve the right to remove any content or suspend or terminate your use of or access to the Platform, without liability or notice to you, at any time and for any reason (except where prohibited by applicable law). You may report violations of these guidelines directly to Execweb by emailing help@execweb.com.

If you are compelled by order of a court or other governmental or legal body (or have notice that such an order is being sought) to divulge any Confidential Information, you agree to promptly notify Execweb and cooperate fully with Execweb in protecting such information to the extent possible under applicable law.
    2. You understand that an Executive Ambassador’s capacity to consult may be limited by other research collaborations or obligations they may have to entities or institutions with which they are affiliated or employed.
