SureClinical provides customers access to a proprietary, health sciences, software-as-a-service known as the Services, via the Internet on a subscription service basis. The Services, among other things, enable You to acquire, classify, manage and archive your clinical trial regulatory documents via the SureClinical’s proprietary technology. The Services consist of the services and products described in this Agreement along with the other services and products described on SureClinical’s website or described in a subscription order or invoice between You and SureClinical. Any such products and services utilized shall be deemed to be Services and subject to the terms of this Agreement. SureClinical provides these Services (and any updates or improvements to the Services) to You subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1. SureClinical Digital Signing. SureClinical makes available for users of the Services a digital signing service that utilizes Adobe Digital Certificates through its identity partners, DigiCert and Entrust, Inc. SureClinical is not a party to any digital signing transaction by You or any user or other person or entity utilizing the digital signing service, which shall be governed by any agreements between you or such user and DigiCert or such other digital identity provider. SureClinical shall not be responsible for any loss that may result from your use of the digital signing service unless caused by SureClinical’s breach of this Agreement.
1.1. Digital Signing Account Types. For customers who license SureClinical’s Applications and Platform, SureClinical offers two types of digital signing accounts: Internal Signing and External Signing. Internal Signing Accounts allow digital signing by and between named users within the customer’s system instance; External Signing Accounts allow digital signing between a named signing initiator (‘Initiator’) and any signing recipient (Recipient), for Internal Signers or External Signers. With either signing account type, Initiators start a signing workflow process and Recipients participate in the signing process.
1.2. Unlimited Plan Option. Both Internal and External Signing Account types have an option for an Unlimited Plan license. With this Plan, Initiators can invite multiple, unlimited numbers of Recipients to participate in a signing workflow process without paying any additional signing fees. Under the unlimited plan option, 200 signing workflow processes per year can be started by an Initiator for either account type. However, SureClinical may allow customers to exceed the number of signing workflow processes included in their service plan under SureClinical’s reasonable use policy: SureClinical reserves the right to prevent or stop any use of SureClinical services that appears to be abusive or is unduly burdensome.
1.3. Transaction Plan Option. External Signing Account types have an option for a Signing Transaction Plan. With this Plan, every signature event constitutes a single digital signing transaction. For example, if an Initiator invites a Recipient to participate in a signing workflow where both the initiator and the recipient sign a document, then two digital signing transaction events have occurred, and the Initiator’s account will be charged two digital signing transactions. Under the Signing Transaction Plan, Initiators will be required to purchase digital signing transaction credits sufficient to cover all signing events in a signing transaction workflow process. SureClinical will provide dashboards and reports of signing transaction account balances and signing transaction credit usage to users so that they can track their signing usage. SureClinical may elect to extend digital signing transaction credits, however, payment for digital signing transaction credits will be subject to SureClinical’s terms and conditions of sale.
1.4. SureEsign – End User License Agreement. SureEsign will be made available to ‘External Persons’ who are not Staff Persons for Your Organization. External End Users of SureEsign services will be required to agree to a click-through End User License agreement. A copy of the SureEsign End User License Agreement is included by reference to this addendum.
