By accepting these User Terms you agree to be bound by their effect. If you are using Once during the course of your employment, you are nevertheless bound as an individual by these User Terms.

2. ACCEPTING THE USER TERMS
In order to use Once, you must first agree to these User Terms.  Please review these User Terms as well as our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and any other information notified to you by us carefully before using Once. If you do not agree to these terms or are under the age of 16, you must not use Once. Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy can be found on the Website.
2.1. You can accept the User Terms by:
2.1.1. clicking to accept or agree to the User Terms, where this option is made available to you by us in the user interface provided to you; or
2.1.2. by actually using Once. In this case, you understand and agree that we will treat your use of Once as acceptance of the User Terms from that point onwards.

3. USE OF ONCE BY YOU
3.1. In consideration of the fulfilment by you of the obligations imposed on you by these User Terms we grant you a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable non-sub licensable licence for the duration of the agreement created by these User Terms to use Once solely and strictly for your own use or within the business that you are representing.
3.2. You agree not to access or copy (or attempt to access or copy) any part of Once by any means other than through the interface that is provided by us. You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) any part of Once through any automated means, including use of debugging tools, scripts, robots, spiders, scrapers or web crawlers.
3.3. You agree that you will not (a) take any action that imposes, or may impose (in each case in our sole discretion) an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (b) copy, duplicate, reproduce, rent, lease, loan, sell, trade, resell, modify, create derivative works, distribute or publicly display any part or component of Once without prior written consent from us and any third party determined by us as appropriate; (c) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of Once or any activities conducted via Once; (d) bypass any measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to Once; and (e) attempt to reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise seek to obtain access to the source code in Once.

4. PAYMENT
4.1. Subscription
4.1.1. Once allows users to exchange data between Once apps via our cloud-based services and to send data to external systems via email, SMS, FTP or other communication protocols. A Subscription specifies the maximum number of Once Users that can be used by your account where each Once user has a unique user identified (ID) for your account. The full functionality of Once Apps can require one of your Once User IDs to be assigned to each running Once app.
Payment is made through our subscription based model which allows users access to Once’s functionality.
4.1.2. Once Setup allows you to create customised price lists and product data for use by Once Apps.  You agree to use Once Setup solely for the purposes of creating data for Once Mobile and not for any commercial use.
4.1.6. Subscription costs are deducted from the credit/debit card or direct debit associated with your account. After expiry of any free trial period the first payment will be taken on the day of upgrade to any of our subscription plans and monthly thereafter.
4.1.10. In order to exchange data between Once Apps and to access the full functionality of Once you must have a valid credit/debit card or direct debit associated with your account. All payments are deducted from this card/account.
4.1.12. You acknowledge and agree that we may monitor your use of Once. Where, in our sole opinion, we suspect misuse of Once has occurred, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account (and the provisions of clause 4.4.1 shall apply). To be clear, this will include any attempt to circumvent our billing process. A typical indication of such an attempt is where more instances of Once Apps are being used under your account than the maximum number of Once user subscriptions you have purchased.
4.2.1. Costs associated with Once application deployment are the responsibility of the user. This includes any internet data costs.
4.2.2. Once will store user’s data on 3rd party cloud servers while they have a valid paid-up subscription.

In the event that no payment is made within 14 days of the due date, we may in our sole discretion terminate your use of Once. In either event Once functionality will be unavailable to you: in the event that you require access to the data you have uploaded, you must contact us.
4.4.2. Monies that remain outstanding by the due date will incur a late payment interest rate of 2% above the prevailing Bank of England’s base rate on the outstanding balance until such times as the payment is made in full.
4.4.3. We reserve the right to seek recovery of any monies remaining unpaid sixty days from the date of invoice via collection agencies and/or through small claims court.  In such cases you will be liable for any and all additional administrative and/or court costs.
4.4. You will be notified with at least 60 days notice of a proposed price increase.
4.5. Fair Use
4.5.1. We have a ‘Fair Use Policy’.  If this is exceeded, we will seek reimbursement from you or (at our sole discretion) terminate access to Once in the case of frequent abuse. Unfair use includes excessive exchange of data between Once Apps or with our services or excessive data storage in our cloud storage. Fair usage of Once means not creating or sending orders quotes or appointments above what would be normal for each Once user in your account and typically less than 20 per day.

This includes product and price data, your customer data and any other data you enter using the Once Apps (also including data entered by us on your behalf such as product data).

5.4. You shall indemnify us, without limitation and upon demand, against any cost, damages or expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) that may be incurred by us either (a) as a result of any breach by you of the warranties detailed in clause 5.3, and/or (b) in respect of any claim or action against us or any 3rd party that the use of any User Content infringes intellectual property rights or is otherwise unlawful or objectionable.
5.5. You acknowledge as reasonable and agree that we may, on occasion, use User Data for analytical purposes or in order to improve Once. Please see our privacy policy [available on our website].

10. TERMINATION
10.1. We may at any time, terminate our legal agreement with you and the supply to you of Once if:
10.1.1. you have materially breached any provision of the User Terms (or have acted in manner which clearly shows that you do not intend to, or are unable to comply with the provisions of the User Terms) and, where such breach is capable of remedy, we determine that you have not so remedied within fourteen days of notification; or
