REGISTRATION DATA AND PROVIDED DATA
In order to allow you to use the Platform, you will need to sign up for an account with us. We may verify your identity. You authorize us to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your identity. If you do not provide the information requested by us or we cannot verify your identity, we reserve the right to refuse to allow you to use the Platform. Accurate Registration Data (as defined below) and Provided Data enable us to provide the Services to you. In addition, in order for the Services to function effectively, you must also keep your Registration Data and Provided Data up to date and accurate. If you do not do this, the accuracy and effectiveness of the Services will be affected. Accordingly, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Platform’s registration form (such information being the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Platform (or any portion thereof). You represent that you are a legal owner of, or otherwise have the authority to provide us with, all Registration Data and Provided Data, and other information necessary to facilitate your use of the Platform.

You agree and understand that (i) you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Credentials that allow you to access and use the Platform upon completing the Platform’s registration process; and (ii) you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You should also maintain appropriate anti-virus and anti-malware software on your computer or other device which you use to access the Platform, so that your Registration Data, password and/or username are not compromised through your own negligence. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your Registration Data, password and/or username, you agree to notify us immediately at the email address: techical-info@pemicro.com.

For more information, you can review our full Privacy Policy at https://www.pemicro.com/privacy_policy.cfm. By your use of the Platform, you agree to the Privacy Policy and any changes to the Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time to time in the future. You agree to the collection and use of this information (as set forth in the Privacy Policy), including (i) the combination of your information you enter or upload on the Platform with that of other users of the Platform, and (ii) the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing, and use by us and our affiliates.

FEES
Except as expressly set forth in this TOS, your general right to access and use the Platform is currently for free, but we may charge a fee for certain access or usage in the future, and we reserve all rights to do so. You will not be charged for any such access or use of the Platform unless you first agree to such charges to be incurred by you in purchasing products or services through the Platform or otherwise in connection with your use of the Platform (any and all such fees are defined herein as “Charges”).

In the event that we assess such Charges, you will be responsible for all Charges incurred, including applicable taxes and purchases made by you or anyone who is using an authorized user account that you have caused to be created or for which you have otherwise indicated your agreement to be responsible for payment. This means that, unless your account or credit card information is obtained unlawfully or fraudulently, you will be responsible for all usage and purchases made on your account.

A service charge, up to the maximum allowed by the state you reside in, will be assessed to your account for any Charge that is denied or for which you otherwise fail to make when payment becomes due. If your account is delinquent, your account (and your use of the Platform) may be suspended or canceled at our sole discretion. If any unpaid balance remains outstanding more than thirty (30) days after the date in which the unpaid balance first became due and payable, then we reserve the right to charge the highest rate permitted by law but not greater than 1% per month, to accrue daily, on any such unpaid balance, until paid in full. You agree to pay all sales and use taxes, duties, or levies which are required by law as well as all attorney and collection fees arising from our efforts to collect any unpaid balance on your account.

You agree to inform us about any billing problems or discrepancies within ninety (90) days after they first appear on your account statement. If you do not inform us within ninety (90) days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. Additionally, for any Charges being collected by us on behalf of a vendor, then such vendor shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Section.

All currency references on the Platform or in this TOS are in U.S. dollars. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. You, and not us, are responsible for any such taxes, levies, or duties related to your transactions, excluding only our United States federal or state income taxes.

All payments for Charges will be non-refundable, and no refunds will be due to you for any reason, even if, without limitation, you are not satisfied with the Platform, or the products or services that you purchase through the Platform, you are not able to access the Platform, the Platform changes, or we freeze, change, or terminate your account.

You must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Public Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Public Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Public Content created by us or submitted to us.

Please note that Section 512(f) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act may impose liability for damages on any person who knowingly sends meritless notices of infringement. Please do not make false claims. Any information or correspondence that you provide may be shared with third parties, including the person who provided the allegedly infringing material. Upon receipt of a bona fide infringement notification by the Designated Agent, we will remove or disable access to the infringing material, notify the user that it has removed or disabled access to the material, and, for repeat offenders, to terminate such user's access to the Platform.

If you believe that your content should not have been removed for alleged copyright infringement, you may send our Designated Agent a written counter-notice with the following information:
∙ Identification of the copyrighted work that was removed, and the location on the Platform where it would have been found prior to its removal;
∙ A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification; and
∙ Your physical or electronic signature, together with your contact information (address, telephone number and, if available, email address).

If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, we may send a copy of the counter notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our discretion.
