Terms of Service

Thank you for selecting the services offered by Forecast5 Analytics, Inc. and its current and future direct and indirect subsidiaries (referred to below as “Forecast5”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). Please review these Terms of Service (this “Agreement”) thoroughly.

This Agreement is a legal agreement between Forecast5 and your governmental entity (or other Forecast5 customer entity, including an individual subscriber). In most cases, a signed customer agreement with us (“Customer Agreement”) was required to subscribe to one or more Forecast5 Services in accordance with this Agreement. This includes any Customer Agreement that may have incorporated this Agreement into it by reference.

If, however, a Customer Agreement was not required in order to get your password, then by clicking “I AGREE,” indicating acceptance electronically, or accessing or using the Services, (a) you represent and warrant to Forecast5 that you are the authorized representative of the entity on behalf of which you are accessing this service, and (b) your entity hereby agrees to this Agreement. If your entity does not agree to this Agreement, then do not indicate acceptance, and do not use the Services.

The applicable government entity (or other Forecast5 customer entity, including an individual subscriber) is referred to below as “you” or “your.”

1. AGREEMENT

1.1   Overview. This Agreement describes the terms governing your use of the Forecast5 online services provided to you through any Forecast5 website, including all data, content, updates and new releases (collectively, the “Services”). It includes by reference:

  1. Forecast5’s Legal Notices and Privacy Policy available on this website.
  2. Any terms provided separately to you for the Services, including for example, ordering, activation, pricing and payment terms, if applicable, for the Services.

1.2 Your Responsibilities. Forecast5 is not in the business of providing legal, financial, accounting or other professional services or advice. Consult the services of a competent professional when you need this type of assistance. You are solely responsible for the quality of all analysis and decisions you may make as a result of your use of the Services.

2. PAYMENT AND RENEWAL

Unless otherwise stated on an applicable Customer Agreement or Work Order: (a) all payments are due within thirty (30) days after the date of the applicable invoice, and (b) all subscriptions are for one (1) year. Once paid, all payments are non-refundable for any reason, including your cancellation of the Services. For all amounts not paid when due, you agree to pay an additional late fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such amounts per month or partial month during which such amounts were owed and unpaid. If you do not pay on time or if Forecast5 cannot process your payment for any reason, Forecast5 reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your access to the Services and terminate this Agreement. You are expressly agreeing that Forecast5 is permitted to bill you for the applicable fees, any applicable tax and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Services and the fees will be billed to your credit card, PayPal or other payment method designated on your initial registration for the Services, and thereafter at regular intervals for the remainder of the term of this Agreement. If you cancel your subscription at any time, you will not receive any refund. If you have a balance due on any account, you agree that Forecast5 may charge such unpaid fees to your account or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees. This Agreement also incorporates by reference all program ordering and payment terms provided to you. Forecast5 will automatically renew your annual subscriptions at the then-current rates, unless you provide notice that you do not wish to renew your subscription prior to the end of the applicable term or Forecast5 elects not to renew your subscription. You authorize Forecast5 to charge you now and upon each renewal. You will be liable for paying any and all applicable sales and use taxes for the purchase of Services based on the mailing address that you provided in the Customer Agreement, and you authorize Forecast5 to charge you for any such applicable taxes.
