About Your Account and Credentials
To access most functions of the Service, it will be necessary to register an account, which may involve submitting data ("Submitted Data") or receiving data ("Output Data") in most cases.

Account Security
We do not provide guarantees regarding security.

Among other considerations, we would like to remind you of the following points:
Client users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of user IDs and passwords used to access the Company's systems at all times. The client agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Company's intellectual property and proprietary information.
Client users are responsible for keeping their operating systems up to date and having active antivirus software on devices used to connect to the company's environment.
Client users are responsible for accessing the Company's network, systems, or applications only through encrypted connections.
Clients are responsible for ensuring that non-active employees do not have access to the application. Therefore, after termination or the end of the employment relationship, access to the Company's application must be revoked within a maximum period of 24 hours after termination.
Clients must notify the company within a maximum period of 72 hours of any security incident that may have implications for the company (for example, the misuse of credentials of a user of the company's application, theft of a computer or device, network incidents, among others).

Data Exchange and Rights: Our Free Services
When you provide Output Data through the Service, you understand and agree to the following points (unless expressly replaced by other agreements):
- Nature of Data Exchange. The Service may include some "collaborative" aspects. This means that by providing us with Submitted Data and possibly allowing its use by other clients (at our sole discretion), you will gain access to Output Data. While we strive to establish a fair and optimal exchange, you understand and agree that we may modify these terms or the nature of the Service at any time, as well as adjust the amount of Output Data or other types of access we provide. Furthermore, you agree that it is solely at our discretion to make such changes. We also have the authority to terminate your account or restrict your access to the Service at any time, for any reason, including (but not limited to) any violation of these Terms of Service by you or through your account. Additional rules or policies may be established or implemented through the Service, including any portal through which you submit or receive data; such rules or policies will be considered incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service, and you agree to comply with them.
- The licenses you grant us. If you provide us or make available the Submitted Data (such as names, addresses, business titles, contact phone numbers, or other personal information), you grant us various licenses to use such data (and represent that you have the right to grant such license):
- You grant us a perpetual and irrevocable license to access and use the Submitted Data in an aggregated form for the purpose of providing, developing, and improving the Service and our data assets. However, we commit not to publicly reference you or the company you work for in connection with the Submitted Data, nor will the Submitted Data be used in a manner that infringes any contract we have entered into or any applicable law. Additionally, you grant us the perpetual and irrevocable right to sublicense, make available, copy, display, publish, or distribute the Submitted Data to any third parties, including our clients, business partners, and service providers.
- You also grant us the right to create derivative works, data models, or modeled datasets using the Submitted Data. You acknowledge and agree that we will be the owners of such derivative works (though not of the Submitted Data itself, which is separate from the derivative works). For example, we would own aggregated or modeled dataset creations that combine data from multiple providers to form a new type of dataset. Additionally, if we use multiple sets of Submitted Data (from various providers) to derive data analytics about specific industries, buyers, or industry prospects, those would also be considered derivative works. You also agree that we have the perpetual and irrevocable right to use, share, sublicense, display, copy, publish, and distribute the Submitted Data in an aggregated and anonymized form, for any purpose and through any medium.
- The aforementioned license grants to emprefy.com shall be non-exclusive, perpetual, and royalty-free. Furthermore, emprefy.com shall have the right to sublicense, assign, or transfer such licenses at its discretion.
Representation
It is a requirement that you have the right to grant us the licenses described above. If you do not have such right, please refrain from providing us with any data. We kindly request that you take the necessary time to confirm this if you are unsure. Accordingly, you warrant and represent that you have all necessary rights, permissions, and/or authorizations to provide us with the Submitted Data, and that by doing so, you will not infringe any contractual obligations or applicable laws.
- Furthermore, you warrant and represent that the Submitted Data does not contain any information about individuals under the age of 18.
- You warrant and represent that by providing us with the Submitted Data, you are not infringing the United States HIPAA law, nor are you providing customer list data from an entity covered by the GLBA.
For example, the Submitted Data should not include a list of hospital or physician patients, or any similar dataset containing patient or customer information from an entity covered by HIPAA.

You may request and receive output data about individuals with European data, meaning those residing in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom. These data will hereinafter be referred to as "European output data." By doing so, you agree to use the European output data solely under the following circumstances, in addition to complying with other consent or authorization requirements set forth in this section:
- In accordance with the explicit consent granted by the data subjects of the Output Data to meet the consent requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- In order to carry out reasonable and genuine validation or cleansing of data, as well as updating your own legally obtained customer database, you may use the European output data.

- For other legitimate purposes you have established, within the context of business-to-business relationships and in compliance with the GDPR and other applicable legal requirements.

- When receiving or using European output data, you must understand and agree that you act as the data controller, while we act as your data processor, as defined in the GDPR. It will be your responsibility to obtain all necessary consents from each data subject (e.g., individuals in your customer database), establish other legal bases for processing the output data, if applicable, and comply with all provisions of the GDPR and other applicable European data protection laws applicable to data controllers. Additionally, you must ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights and comply with all obligations set forth in the applicable regulations.

Arbitration, Waiver of Class Action, and Applicable Law
- Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action
- Federal Arbitration Act. You agree that these Terms of Service affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.
- Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to litigation. Both you and we agree to make every effort to resolve any dispute or claim, and good faith negotiations shall be a prerequisite to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration, except for injunctive relief for alleged intellectual property infringement. To initiate this process, you agree to communicate with our support department at [email protected], or we may contact you using the latest information we have on file for you.
- Mandatory Arbitration. In the event that an agreement is not reached within a period of ten (10) days from the commencement of the informal dispute resolution pursuant to the Initial Dispute Resolution provision mentioned above, both parties agree to resolve through arbitration any and all controversies, claims, or disputes arising out of, related to, or resulting from your relationship with us, these Terms of Service, and/or any other aspect of the Service. These Terms of Service are intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can be legally arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes expressly excluded from this section by the terms of these Terms of Service.
- The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law and shall award attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. The parties understand that, in the absence of this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to file a lawsuit in court and have a jury trial. Furthermore, they understand that in some cases the costs of arbitration may be higher than the costs of litigation, and the right to discovery of evidence may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
- Waiver of Class Action. The parties agree that arbitration shall be conducted solely on an individual basis and not as a class or representative action. They expressly waive their right to file a class action, seek collective compensation, or join or participate as a member of a class action. You and emprefy.com agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative proceeding. In the event that the waiver of class actions is deemed null or unenforceable or that arbitration may proceed on a class basis, this section shall be deemed null and void, and it shall be considered that the parties have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
- 30-Day Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by this provision by sending a written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] with the subject line "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT". The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days from the date you accept any version of these Terms of Service that contains this section. If you do not exercise this right within the mentioned timeframe, you will be obligated to submit disputes to arbitration in accordance with the terms of this section. You also have the right to consult with an attorney of your choice regarding this section. You understand that you will not face retaliation if you choose to exercise your opt-out right. If you decide to opt out of this section, we will also not be obligated in relation to any disputes that may arise between you and us.
- Changes to this Section. Emprefy.com commits to provide sufficient advance notice of any changes to this section. In the event that a court or arbitrator (with the relevant authority to make such a decision) determines that this subsection titled "Changes to this Section" cannot be enforced or is invalid, then it shall be severed from this Section, and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first section referring to Arbitration and Class Action Waiver that you have agreed to.
- Survival. This section shall remain in effect and continue to be enforceable in the event of termination of these Terms of Use.
Limitations on Arbitration Agreement
This section shall be subject to the following limitations:
- Intellectual Property Claims. Despite the parties' choice to resolve disputes through arbitration, either party may initiate an individual action (not a collective or representative action) in a state or federal court, as well as at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, to protect their patent rights, copyright rights, moral rights, trademark rights, and trade secrets. However, this does not apply to privacy or publicity rights.
- Small Claims Court. Despite the parties' choice to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party has the option to seek individual remedies (not collective or representative) in a small claims court for disputes or claims falling within the jurisdiction of such court.
Applicable law
The Terms of Service and the relationship between you and emprefy.com shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its provisions on conflict of laws. Any claim or dispute that either of us may have against the other and that is not subject to arbitration shall be resolved by a court located in Dover County, Delaware. Both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Dover County, Delaware, for the purpose of litigating any claims or disputes that are not subject to arbitration. In the case of claims or disputes that are suitable to be resolved by a small claims court, a small claims court located elsewhere in the United States may be chosen.
To be taken into account
- In the event that a court determines that any provision of these Terms is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such determination will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions contained in the Terms. Each provision will be considered independent, severable, and distinct from the others.
- These Terms of Service constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between you and us regarding these matters. Any express modification in an Order Form will govern and replace any conflicting provision in these Terms. If we (or you) fail to enforce any part of these Terms, it will not be considered a waiver.
- The relationship between you and us is that of independent contractors, and it is important to note that these Terms of Service should not be construed to create or imply any other form of relationship, such as a partnership, employer/employee relationship, or agency relationship.
- Assignment and Waiver. emprefy.com reserves the right to assign these Terms at its discretion. On your part, you are not authorized to assign, sublicense, or transfer these Terms (or our license granted to you hereunder) to any other person in whole or in part. It should be noted that no waiver of any obligation or right by either party will be valid unless it is in writing and executed by the party against whom it is being enforced.
Legal notices, including termination notices, must be sent to [email protected]. We will send you legal notices using a method that we consider appropriate and reasonable to provide such notice, whether through the Service, email, or another address you have provided to us.
