Terms of Use for Authorized Users

Last Revised: Oct 11, 2022

Checkfront Inc. and our Affiliates or subsidiaries, as applicable (“we“, “us“, “our“, and similar expressions), are granting you access to the Platform (as defined below) on behalf of our Customer (as defined below) to use the Platform for the Customer’s business purposes. This means you are an Authorized User as that term is defined in the Master of Service applicable to the Customer, which can be found by clicking here (the “Master Terms of Service”).  

Please read these Terms of Use for Authorized Users (the “Authorized User Terms “) carefully. By using the Platform and accessing an Account (as defined below), you are agreeing to these Authorized User Terms.

Interpretation

  1. In these Authorized User Terms, the following defined terms have the meanings below:
    1. “Affiliates” are companies or entities that are owned by another company or entity or that have the same owner or corporate parent.
    2. “Authorized User” has the meaning given in the Master Terms of Service. 
    3. “Customer” means our customer to which we have granted access to the Platform under the agreements made in the Master Terms of Service, and is the same legal entity that has granted you access to the Platform as an Authorized User.
    4. “Platform” means the Company’s web-based bookings, real-time calendar availability,
      payment processing, and instant email confirmations software that is to be used by the Customer and is hosted by the Company and its associated App or API. The term “Platform” includes the Documentation and any modifications, enhancements, APIs, integrations, or related applications, including any that are further described in any applicable Order. 
  2. For purposes of these Authorized User Terms: (a) the words “include”, “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; (c) the words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereby”, “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to the Authorized User Terms as a whole; and (d) whenever the singular is used, the same will include the plural, and, whenever the plural is used, the same will include the singular, where appropriate. The definitions given for any defined terms will apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.
  3. The headers and any sidebar text are provided only to make these Authorized User Terms easier to read and understand. The fact that we wrote these Authorized User Terms will not affect the way our agreement with you is interpreted.
