Terms of Service

Last revised: March 6, 2023

This agreement (these “Terms”) is by and between OpenComp LLC, with principal place of business at 2590 Welton St STE 200 #1070, Denver, CO 80205, and ____________________________, having principal place of business at _________________________________________________ (“you” or “Customer”). 

OpenComp provides human resources software and services. These Terms govern your purchases from us and your use of our software, services, website, tools, and apps (our “Services”). These Terms bind you, and those who work for You.

 

1. Services and License

  1. You can order Services, such as a subscription to OpenComp’s software platform, by signing up online or executing an order document which may be an attachment to these Terms. Subject to compliance with these Terms, OpenComp hereby grants to you a limited, personal, non-transferable license to access and use the Services as contemplated by these Terms solely for your internal business purposes during the Term. You cannot sub-license or resell the Services; they are for you only. Service subscriptions start on the date you complete your initial payment and continue for the subscription term selected; or some services may have a start date and be for a duration that we agree on (in each case, the time period you have an active order with us, is the “Term”).

  2. Certain Services may have their own terms. We’ll present you such individual service agreements when you sign up, and they are incorporated by reference to these Terms. If an individual service agreement conflicts with these Terms, the conflicting portion of the individual service agreement will control on that portion; otherwise, these Terms control. 

  3. OpenComp may from time to time (but is not required to) improve, modify, or update our Services such as by launching new features, fixing bugs, or updating the product (“Updates”). In some cases, Updates will be considered a new service, and in others they are considered part of the original purchased Services. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you in advance of Updates that result in material changes to the Services at least sixty (60) days in advance and have no obligation to keep providing all or any particular features of the Services longer than any Term for which you have pre-paid. You agree that your purchases do not depend on our development or delivery of any future functionality or features not in a Work Order or explicitly part of an agreed-upon Service Output.

 

2. Professional Services

  1. OpenComp may offer professional services, like compensation consulting. Such services are Services under these Terms. For professional services, we provide a Work Order or Statement of Work that describes, for example, the scope of work, fees, payment schedule, and timeline. Once executed, the Work Order binds both you and OpenComp, and services provided under that Work Order would be governed both by that Work Order and these Terms.

  2. We control how we provide professional services, such as by selecting the team. We may use subcontractors (but we remain responsible for their work). In all cases, you and OpenComp have an independent contractor relationship.

  3. If either you or OpenComp requests a change to an agreement for professional services, those changes take effect only when we sign a mutually agreed change order. If delay, postponement, or other action or failure to act by you (for example, non-availability of designated resources) prevents us from completing a contracted project, we may suspend performance of professional services and will not be liable for the non-delivery or untimely delivery or provision of Services.

 

3. Fees & Payment

  1. Our Services may be priced in different ways, such as per employee or per user for a time period, and may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you order. Pricing will be available within the Services as you sign up, provided with these Terms, or for some Services may be quoted to you for a set project or product. We may offer free or trial versions of some of our Services. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to determine eligibility for free services and our pricing overall including tiers or our basis for charges. You will receive notice of any fee change at least thirty (30) days before the scheduled date of the transaction and failure to cancel your account means you accept such fee change. 

  2. You are responsible for timely paying fees with a valid electronic payment method. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. Certain Services, such as our Pay Reports product, require that you provide a third-party payment processor with information such as your name, payment card details, and billing address in order to facilitate payment. You represent and warrant to us that such information is true and you are authorized to use the payment method. You agree that we may charge your selected payment method, and authorization remains in effect until you cancel or modify your payment preferences within the Service. If your Order Form provides that we agree to issue invoices to you, payment of all invoices is due within 30 days of the date of invoice. If you have a dispute about fees invoices you must raise that dispute within 14 days or it is waived.

  3. If you are past due, we may collect fees or deactivate your account. You are responsible for any taxes imposed on your use of the Services, including, but not limited to, sales, use, or value-added taxes. If OpenComp is obligated to collect such taxes, they will be added to your billing account. 

  4. All fees and charges are earned upon receipt by us and based on services purchased regardless of the amount of actual usage and are nonrefundable (and there are no credits) except (a) as expressly set forth herein, and/or (b) as required by applicable law.  Where pricing is based on a number of records or users per month, you will be charged at your monthly billing anniversary for the maximum number of records inputted that billing month or may be trued up depending on use. 

4. Privacy and Security

  1. Both you and OpenComp shall comply with all laws and regulations applicable to the processing of personal information (as such term or an equivalent is defined under applicable law) in connection with these Terms. 

  2. The OpenComp Privacy Notice applies to information we collect and use for business purposes, including personal information which we collect from and about visitors to our website, customers when they register for or access the Services, and individuals in relation to our marketing activities. Please review our Privacy Notice to learn more about our information collection, use, and disclosure practices. 

  3. To the extent that, as part of the Services, OpenComp processes personal information on your behalf, such as information about Company employees and their compensation (“User Data”) which you input or transfer to us, then the terms of the OpenComp Data Processing Addendum, which is incorporated into and forms an integral part of these Terms, will apply to such processing. 

  4. We use commercially reasonable and industry-standard security technical and organizational practices and safeguards. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures, and you provide User Data to us at your own risk. If User Data is disclosed to or accessed by an unauthorized party, OpenComp will promptly notify you and use reasonable efforts to assist. OpenComp is not intended as a backup for User Data, and OpenComp is not responsible for its recovery in the event of a loss.

 

5. Accounts

  1. Certain Services require registering and creating an OpenComp account. You accept responsibility for activities that occur under your account, and you must immediately tell us if you believe your account is no longer secure. The person who registers on behalf of any Company is the initial administrator and determines initial access, privacy, and security (e.g. privilege levels) for the Services within the Company. In addition, OpenComp can assume any person designated as billing contact is an administrator.

  2. OpenComp may access, preserve and disclose your account information and related contents if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce these Terms or investigate claims of third parties, or protect the rights, property or personal safety of OpenComp, our users, or the public. Where practicable, OpenComp will provide notice to you and the opportunity to object to such legal process.

 

6. Term and Termination; Renewal

  1. These Terms will remain in effect until either party terminates all Services. To terminate these Terms, you may terminate your account and access to online Services at any time with written notice to us. Such termination takes effect at the end of the period for which you have paid.

  2. We may terminate your access to Services, which terminates these Terms, for any or no reason by providing notice to you at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the paid period. In addition, OpenComp may immediately terminate these Terms and/or your access to Services, without notice, if we reasonably believe: (a) you’ve breached these Terms; (b) your actions have caused or are likely to cause liability or other material negative effects for OpenComp or others; or (c) you’ve failed to pay fees when due and not cured such non-payment within 21 days of notice of the non-payment; or (d) you go out of business or enter bankruptcy proceedings. No refunds are available for suspension or termination pursuant to this section.

  3. Either Party may terminate the autorenewal of the Agreement and/or the autorenewal of any Order upon written notice to the other Party, which notice is given at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the applicable then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be. If notice of termination is not provided within such time frame, the subscriptions under the then-current Order(s) will auto-renew under the existing terms and conditions of the Agreement.

 

7. Integrations

  1. OpenComp works with several HR tools and other software. You may choose to allow OpenComp to automatically retrieve data from your or third-party systems or services for you (“integrations”). You hereby represent and warrant that you have the permission, authority, and rights for such integrations, and hereby grant OpenComp permission for integrations where you link your or third-party systems in your user account or through such tools as we may provide. 

  2. OpenComp disclaims liability associated with providing to you, accessing, and retrieving data or information from such system(s) and services on your behalf. When you connect your systems, tools, or accounts for integrations, you authorize us to: (i) store and use any data and use any materials we need to do the integration and provide you the Service, (ii) gather any data reasonably necessary for us to provide the Services to you; and (iii) otherwise take any action in connection with such service as is reasonably necessary for us to provide the Services to you. You agree that third-party service providers are entitled to rely on the foregoing authorization you have granted. If at any time you do not have the right and authority to allow OpenComp automatic access to such system(s), you hereby agree to immediately disable such integrations from within your account.

14. Indemnification

OpenComp will defend you and your subsidiaries, agents, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, demands, suits or proceedings made or brought against you by a third party alleging that any Services that you purchase from OpenComp infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim”), and will indemnify and defend you from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against you as a result of the Claim, provided you (i) used reasonable efforts to promptly notify OpenComp of the Claim, (ii) give OpenComp control of the defense and any settlement of the Claim, and (iii) provide OpenComp reasonable assistance on the matter. If we receive information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Service, we may: (i) modify the Services, (ii) obtain a license for your continued use of the Service, or (iii) terminate your subscription to that Service after 30 days’ written notice and refunding you any prepaid fees for the balance of the Term. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if (a) the complaint does not state with specificity that OpenComp Services are the basis of the Claim; (b) the Claim is because you used or combined the Services or any part thereof with Integrations or with software, hardware, data, or processes not provided by OpenComp, and the Services would not be alleged to infringe without that combination; (3) the Claim is based on Services that you did not pay OpenComp for; or (4) the Claim relates to your User Data, Integration, or breach of this Agreement or any other Agreement with OpenComp.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless OpenComp and its subsidiaries, agents, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (a) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any right of privacy, publicity rights or intellectual property rights; (b) your violation of any law, rule or regulation of the United States or any other country; and (c) any claim or damages that arise as a result of any of your User Data or any other data that are submitted via your account. OpenComp will have the right to control the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of any such claims, actions or proceedings by using counsel selected by OpenComp. OpenComp will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claims, actions, or proceedings upon becoming aware of the same.

16. Governing Law; Arbitration; and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

 

  1. Governing Law.

    You agree that: (a) the Service shall be deemed solely based in California; and (b) the Service does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that San Francisco, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

  2. Arbitration.

    READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM OPENCOMP. For any dispute with OpenComp, you agree to first contact us at legal@opencomp.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that OpenComp has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco, California, unless you and OpenComp agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing OpenComp from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property or other proprietary rights.

  3. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver.

    WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND OPENCOMP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

  2. Changes. We may propose changes these Terms. You will have the opportunity to review them, and if after 30 days you do not object, the changes take effect. If you do not accept such changes, your only remedy is to terminate your account, which at your election can be take effect either immediately or at the end of your Term; provided however, that you will not receive a refund for any portions of the Term for which you have already paid. 

  3. Waiver. The failure of either party to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by both parties.

  4. Severability. If any provision of these Terms or an individual service agreement is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from these Terms to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions; except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable. 

  5. Assignment. These Terms and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by either you or OpenComp without the written consent of the other, except either party can assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder without such consent to a successor-in-interest in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of that party’s business.

  6. Survival. Upon termination of these Terms, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, shall survive such termination or expiration, including, but not limited to, Sections 3-5 and 8-14, and 16-17.

  7. Entire Agreement. This, including the agreements incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and OpenComp relating to the subject matter herein and will not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties.
