I. Scope of Services
Digital Canal Corporation (“DCC”) provides subscription access to the features of its Cloud-Based Software (the “Software”) to Contractor (“Contractor”) and designees of Contractor (such as Contractor’s subcontractors and customers). All subscriptions purchased are subject to these terms (“Agreement”) and the Terms of Use posted on DCC’s website at digitalcanalestimating.com (the “Terms of Use”). This Agreement and the Terms of Use are subject to change without notice. The Agreement and Terms of Use are not intended to create any contractual relationship with, or to confer the status of a third-party beneficiary, on Contractor’s designees.
II. Term
- If Contractor elects to pay monthly: The term of this Agreement commences on the date set forth on the applicable Purchase Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and continues thereafter for a period of one month (the “Initial Term”), unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement. At the end of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for 12 additional months unless either party gives the other party written notice of its intent not to renew at least 10 days before the expiration of the Initial Term (the “Renewal Term,” and collectively with the “Initial Term,” the “Term”).
- If Contractor elects to pay annually upfront: The term of this Agreement commences on the date set forth on the applicable Purchase Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and continues thereafter for a period of 13 months, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement.
III. Payment
All sales are final and non-refundable unless terminated by the Contractor as provided in Section II. If Contractor elects to pay annually upfront, as provided in Section II2, then the payment is non-refundable. All prices and billing are in US Dollars. DCC has no obligation to provide the Service until payment has been received, as well as all finance charges related to that payment.
In certain states or countries, Contractor may be obligated to report and pay a use tax or a goods and services tax on charges from DCC. Contractor shall be responsible for all such taxes. Fees and expenses due from Contractor under this Agreement may not be withheld or offset by Contractor against other amounts for any reason.
Payment provides acceptance of the pricing, promotion, or trial arrangement as specified on the invoice, the Terms of Use and the Agreement. Services are invoiced to and payable by Contractor in advance for the Initial Term and each Renewal Term. Payments made by ACH, PayPal or credit card processing are required for monthly payments, unless other terms are agreed upon. DCC will initiate the payment method provided by Contractor for payment automatically at the time of invoice (the “Due Date”).
Contractor will hold DCC harmless in the event of credit card theft and/or malicious misuse by a third party.
IV. Use Restrictions
Contractor shall not: (a) attempt to decrypt, reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or otherwise attempt to discern, discover, copy, or disclose the source code, algorithms, processes, or ideas supporting the Services; (b) modify, frame, link to, translate, or create any derivative works of the Services; (c) remove or alter any DCC trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notice, legend, symbol from the Services; or (d) use the Services in any way not expressly provided for in this Agreement, including creating fictitious users to enter misleading data.

VI. Accessibility
Cancellation of Service. If payment is not received within 14 days of its monthly due date the Agreement is terminated and the Service is cancelled.

If DCC cancels the Software due to a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor or inappropriate use by Contractor (“Cause”), including, but not limited to, violating use restrictions as set forth in this Agreement then no refunds will be given.
The Software will remain active for the timeframe paid for by the Contractor, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. To terminate the Software, promotion, or trial period for any or all projects, notice must be given to DCC in writing at 2728 Asbury Rd, Dubuque, IA 52001.
