During the Term (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, StoryScale shall provide Customer with a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferrable right to use the Platform and Services, solely for internal business purposes.
2.1 Customer may designate certain of its personnel as “Authorized Users” who will have access to the Customer’s account on the Platform. In order to access the Platform and Services, each Authorized User will be required to register an account to be linked to the Customer’s account. One of the Customer’s Authorized Users shall be designated as an “administrator” and shall be able to add and remove Authorized Users and shall have access to certain features or Services that are not available to the Customer’s other Authorized Users.

2.2 During the Term, Customer may register accounts for up to the total maximum number of Authorized Users as selected as part of the registration process. To the extent that the Customer provides any personal data to StoryScale as part of the process of registration of Authorized Users, Customer represents that (i) it has obtained all necessary consents required under applicable law to provide such personal data to StoryScale and to allow StoryScale to process and share such data for the provision of the Services, and (ii) it shall ensure that a record of such consents is maintained, all as required under applicable law.
2.3 Any individual registering on behalf of a Company, hereby represents that he or she is authorized to enter into, and bind the Company to these Terms and register as a Customer for use of the Services.

The right to access the Services is revoked where these Terms or use of the Services is prohibited.
2.4 Customer and each Authorized User undertake to notify StoryScale immediately in the case of any unauthorized use of an Authorized User’s account or password. Customer shall be fully and solely responsible for the security of any computer system and/or mobile device used by any Authorized User and all activity on any Authorized User’s account, even if such activities were not committed by the Authorized User. StoryScale will not be liable for any losses or damage arising from unauthorized use of the Services, and Customer and each Authorized User agree to indemnify and hold StoryScale harmless for any unauthorized, improper or illegal use of Authorized User accounts and any charges and taxes incurred, unless StoryScale has been notified via e-mail that the relevant account has been compromised and has requested that access to it be blocked.

Except as permitted herein, Recipient may not use, disseminate, or in any way disclose the Confidential Information except for purposes of providing or receiving the Services or in furtherance of the relationship of the parties hereunder. Recipient may use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes set out in these Terms. Recipient shall treat all Confidential Information with the same degree of care as it accords to its own Confidential Information but in any event with a high degree of care.

14.5 Sections 5-9, 11-13, 14.5, and 17 shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms for any reason.
During the Term, StoryScale may refer to Customer as a customer of StoryScale, including by displaying Customer’s name and logo on StoryScale’s website and other marketing materials.
No party will be liable for any default or delay in its performance of its obligations under these Terms to the extent caused by, and only for the duration of, a natural disaster, act of God, act of war or terrorism, riot, third-party labor strike, pandemic or other similar occurrence beyond its reasonable control provided that the affected party make all reasonable efforts to comply with its obligations despite the occurrence.
