3. Accounts

To access most services and software platforms made available by Datablocks, users must be granted a license to use any service or software platform. Datablocks has the absolute discretion to refuse an application for a license to use a service or software platform for any or no reason.

In addition to the terms set out herein, each service made available by Datablocks and to which a user subscribes or in which a user elects to participate may be subject to additional terms and conditions set out in a separate written agreement between the user and Datablocks. Where the terms set out herein conflict with the terms of such an agreement, the terms of the separate written agreement shall apply.

All users are required to provide current, complete and accurate contact information when applying for a license and shall ensure that such information is kept current, complete and accurate at all times. If a user is an individual, they must be at least eighteen years of age to participate in or subscribe to any of the services.

If users are using this web site or any software platform made available by Datablocks on behalf of an entity, organization or company, users warrant that they have the authority to bind such organization to these terms (and any additional terms that may apply to any service to which they subscribe or in which they register to participate) and users agree to be bound by these terms on behalf of such organization.

Users shall provide sufficient documentation to demonstrate compliance with the foregoing obligations as may be requested from time to time.

Users are responsible for all activity that occurs under their account. The user name and password for the account should be kept secure and confidential at all times. If a user has reason to believe that their account is no longer secure, they shall immediately send an email to the address provided on the sign-up page or support@datablocks.net with the word “URGENT” in the subject line. The user’s compliance with this provision shall not be construed as a waiver of any right to recover damages from, or obtain other relief against, the user which may arise from unauthorized use of the services or software platforms through the user’s account.

Users shall not take any action that imposes a disproportionately large load on the software platforms, which is defined as traffic volume during a time period that exceeds three (3) times the average amount of traffic in the previous three like time periods.

The user’s account may be closed and their access to the services and software platforms terminated if their account is in active or idle for more than 12 consecutive months.

The closure of the user’s account for any reason shall not prejudice or affect the accrued rights or claims of any other party nor shall it release the user from any of the restrictions of these terms concerning access, use or disclosure of the services or software platforms, all of which shall survive termination.

Datablocks reserves the right to modify or discontinue this web site, services or any software platform or feature previously made available via this web site, at any time without notice.
