Welcome to the payformix.com website, operated by Payformix LLC (the “Site”).  These Terms of Service (“Agreement”) governs your access to and use of the Site and the services provided through the Site (collectively, the “Services”).  The Services offer customers the ability to create, publish and manage online forms (“Forms”). 

Acceptance of Terms

By using or accessing the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement.  The Payformix LLC Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.  Do not use the Services if you do not agree to this Agreement in its entirety.  References in this Agreement to “Payformix”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean Payformix LLC.  The term “User” refers to both visitors to the Site and Members (as defined below). 

This Agreement is effective as of the date you submit your registration on payformix.com (the “Effective Date”).  If you are accepting on behalf of your employer or another entity, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind your employer, or the applicable entity, to these terms and conditions; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of the party that you represent, to this Agreement.  If you don't have the legal authority to bind your employer or the applicable entity, please do not accept this Agreement.  You represent and warrant that, if an individual, you are at least 18 years old and otherwise legally competent in all respects to be bound by this Agreement. 

This Agreement may be amended by Payformix from time to time.  If we make material changes to the Agreement, we will notify you through the Site or at your primary email address, as specified in your member account information.  You agree that such amended Agreement will be effective thirty (30) days after being posted or sent to you, and your continued access to, or use of, the Services after that time shall constitute your acceptance of the amended Agreement.

Modifications to Service

Payformix reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice.  You agree that Payformix shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services.

Termination

Subject to this Section, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the Services and/or are a Member.  You agree that Payformix, at its sole discretion, may terminate your password, Account (or any part thereof) or use of the Services, and remove and discard any Form within the Services, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Payformix believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with this Agreement.  Payformix may also at its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice.  You agree that any termination of your access to the Services under any provision of the Agreement may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Payformix may immediately deactivate or delete your Account and all related information and files in your Account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Services.

You may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason upon not less than 45 days written notice to Payformix.  Upon termination of this Agreement by either party, your right to access and use the Services will terminate immediately.  You agree that Payformix will have no liability to you for any costs, losses, damages, or liabilities arising out of or related to our termination of this Agreement.

You hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542 (and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction) which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
