Conditions d’utilisation des services

These Instaply Services Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern use of the Services (defined below) offered by Instaply, Inc. (“Instaply”).

IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY (A) IDENTIFIED ON AN ORDER FORM WHICH REFERENCES THESE TERMS [OR (B) WHO ARE USING THE SERVICES ON A TRIAL BASIS] (“CUSTOMER”), YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH CUSTOMER TO THESE TERMS, IN WHICH CASE “YOU” OR “YOUR” WILL REFER TO SUCH CUSTOMER. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT USE THE SERVICES.

IF YOU ARE A CUSTOMER, OR ACTING ON BEHALF OF A CUSTOMER, WHO HAS ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT (OTHER THAN AN ORDER FORM) WITH INSTAPLY, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE GOVERNED BY SUCH SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND NOT BY THESE TERMS.

These Terms were last updated the date at the top of this web page. They are as of the date of your acceptance of these Terms. Capitalized terms used in these Terms and not otherwise defined will have the meanings set forth in the applicable Order Form.

Instaply may modify these Terms at any time, in its sole discretion. If Instaply does so, it will let you know either by posting the modified Terms on Instaply’s Web and Mobile Applications or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever Instaply modifies them because if you continue to use the Services thereafter, you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you cannot use the Services anymore.
