Terms & Conditions

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in TechNWeb, Inc. dba PowerSync (“TNW,” “we,” or “us”) and our website at technweb.com, along with our related websites (collectively, our “Site”). These Terms are a legally binding contract between you and TNW regarding your use of the Site.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING THE SERIES OF WEBSITE BUTTONS PROVIDED ON THE SITE FOR INDICATION OF ACCEPTANCE (E.G., “SUBMIT”, “I AGREE TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS,” “PLACE ORDER”) OR BY USING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE TNW PRIVACY POLICY. If you are not eligible, or do not agree to these Terms, then you do not have our permission to use the Site.

These Terms provide that all disputes between you and TNW will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. Please review Section 16 (“Dispute Resolution; Arbitration”) for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with TNW.

TNW Site Description. The Site provides visitors with information regarding TNW’s product, service, and support offerings and the ability to purchase access to TNW’s software offerings (the “Software”).
Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Site. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Site; and (c) your registration and your use of the Site is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. If you are using the Site on behalf of an entity, organization, or company, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of that organization.
Accounts and Registration. To access some features of the Site, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your email address or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at legal@technweb.com.
Payment.
1. To purchase a subscription to Software (“Subscription”) from TNW via the Site or otherwise, or to access certain other features of the Site, you may be required to pay fees to TNW. Before you pay any fees to TNW, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable. From time to time, TNW may modify the prices it charges for Subscriptions or renewals of Subscriptions, including as a result of the addition of new features or functionality to the Software. If TNW changes any of its fees that are applicable to you, including by adding new fees or charges, TNW will provide you advance notice of those changes and allow you to accept the new fee amount or cancel your Subscription. If you do not accept the changes, TNW may cancel your Subscription or discontinue providing you access to those portions of the Site that require payment, as applicable.
2. TNW will charge the payment method you specify at the time of purchase. You authorize TNW to charge all sums as described in these Terms to that payment method. If you pay any fees with a credit card, TNW may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. If you fail to pay any amount due, TNW may terminate or suspend your Subscription. If you believe that TNW incorrectly charged you, you must contact TNW in writing within 30 days following the applicable charge date, specifying the purported calculation error and the amount of adjustment or credit requested.
3. Other than TNW’s own income taxes, you will bear all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges (collectively, “taxes”) resulting from these Terms. Any taxes that apply on the fees will be charged separately by TNW. If you have a tax exemption, you must notify TNW prior to TNW’s issuance of an invoice. Upon request, you will provide TNW with appropriate evidence of tax payment or exemption.
4. The Site may include functionality for activating, updating, or canceling recurring payments for periodic charges. If you activate or update recurring payments through the Site, you authorize TNW to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your Subscription in accordance with the applicable agreement between you and TNW, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. If you use the Site to update or cancel any existing authorized one-time or recurring payment, it may take up to 30 business days for the update or cancellation to take effect. The recurring fee for your Subscription is payable in advance for the Subscription term following each recurring charge and is non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms or other applicable agreement between you and TNW. If the credit card(s) we have on file for you is/are declined for payment of your Subscription fee, you have 30 days to provide us a new credit card or your Subscription will be canceled. If you provide us with a new card and the card is successfully charged within 30 days, your new Subscription will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge. If your Subscription is terminated, you may be entitled to a refund if the right to a refund is provided under separate agreement with TNW, subject to limitations provided in this Section 4. UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE A CHARGE THAT YOU WANT TO CANCEL OR DO NOT WANT TO AUTO RENEW, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE INDEFINITELY AND YOU AUTHORIZE US (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE RECURRING FEE AND ANY TAXES USING ANY CREDIT CARD WE HAVE ON RECORD FOR YOU.
5. Upon expiration of the term of your Subscription:
  1. if your Subscription is subject to automatic renewal, unless you provide TNW with notice of non-renewal prior to its expiration, the Subscription term will automatically renew for an additional Subscription term of the same length as the preceding Subscription term, and the credit card you provided for payment of the expired Subscription term will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees; and
  2. if your Subscription is not subject to automatic renewal, unless you provide TNW with notice of intent to renew prior to its expiration, the Subscription term will automatically terminate.
6. The payment of fees may be enabled via online payment systems operated by third parties (“Online Payment Services”) that enable you to make payments securely online using a credit card or bank account. TNW is not affiliated with the providers of any Online Payment Services, as each is an independent contractor, and neither is the agent or employee of the other, and neither is responsible in any way for the actions or performance (or lack of actions or performance) of the other. It is your responsibility to abide by all the terms specified by the providers of the Online Payment Services in their respective terms of use and privacy policies.

We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent.
