1. What is ORB?

ORB is an application that allows you to book and manage meeting rooms (collectively, the "Service").

By signing up to use the Service, you agree that your login credentials are personal and non transmissible and that you are responsible for the security of these credentials.

Furthermore, by creating one or more accounts on the Web site, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your accounts, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under those accounts and any other actions taken in connection with the accounts. You must not describe or assign keywords to your accounts in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and we may change or remove any description or keyword that we consider inappropriate or unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause us liability. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your accounts or any other breaches of security. We will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

We reserve the right to terminate any account or login credential if it remains inactive for a period longer than 24 months.

3. Responsibility of contributors

If you make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Web site (any such material, “Content”), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio file, or computer software. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:

  • the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party;
  • if your employer has rights to intellectual property you create, you have either (i) received permission from your employer to post or make available the Content, including but not limited to any software, or (ii) secured from your employer a waiver as to all rights in or to the Content;
  • you have fully complied with any third-party licenses relating to the Content, and have done all things necessary to successfully pass through to end users any required terms;
  • the Content does not contain or install any viruses, worms, malware, Trojan horses or other harmful or destructive content;
  • the Content is not spam, is not machine- or randomly-generated, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, or to further unlawful acts (such as phishing) or mislead recipients as to the source of the material (such as spoofing);
  • the Content is not obscene, libelous or defamatory, hateful or racially or ethnically objectionable, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party;
  • your accounts are not named in a manner that misleads your readers into thinking that You are another person or company. For example, your account name is not the name of a person other than yourself or company other than your own;
  • you have, in the case of Content that includes computer code, accurately categorized and/or described the type, nature, uses and effects of the materials, whether requested to do so by Simon Fletcher or otherwise.

4. Removing content

If you delete Content, we will use reasonable efforts to remove it from the Web site, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable. Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, we have the right (though not the obligation) to, at our sole discretion, (i) refuse or remove any content that, in our reasonable opinion, violates this policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate or deny access to and use of the Web site to any individual or entity for any reason. We will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.

5. Fees and payment

By selecting a paid service plan you agree to pay us the monthly or annual subscription fees indicated for that service plan, including any applicable taxes. All fees posted are exclusive of all taxes or duties imposed by governing authorities.

We accept payment through PayPal and will automatically charge your paypal account for monthly service plans. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account(s) and/or access to the Service if any fee is not paid in a timely manner, or if it is unable to process your transaction using the credit card information provided.

Automatic renewals for monthly service plans are made each month on calendar day corresponding to the commencement of subscription. For months not containing the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your subscription, renewal will be made on the first day of the next month. For example, if your subscription began on January 31st, March 1st is the next time your credit card would be billed.

The renewal charge will be equal to the original subscription price plus any service fees incurred in the previous subscription period, including any applicable taxes.

Should you choose to upgrade your subscription, you will be able to start using the additional services associated with the new subscription plan immediately, however you will not be charged at the rate for your new subscription until the next billing date. For example, if you begin your monthly billed subscription on March 15th, your next payment would be due on April 15th. If, on April 22nd, you upgrade your subscription to a superior service plan you will be able to start using the upgraded plan immediately but will not be charged for the new service plan until your next billing date, which would be April 15.

Should you downgrade you will be limited to the services available under the lower subscription plan and will be charged the rate associated with the new plan from the next billing date.

We reserve the right to change our monthly fees upon 30 days notice by email. If you want to change your payment details you may edit your information by accessing your "Account" page. If your payment method reaches its expiration date, your continued use of the Service constitutes your authorization for us to continue billing using that payment method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

Subscription renewals may not happen exactly at midnight of the renewal dates.

It is your responsibility to keep your contact information and payment information current and updated and ensure that all the information provided is correct.

6. Canceling Your Subscription

Subscriptions subject to automatic renewal will continue in effect unless and until you cancel or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next month's fees to your credit card.

All paid service plans are prepaid and are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial months. You may cancel your subscription at anytime. If you wish to cancel your subscription you may do so via your "Account" page.
