B. Five Blocks offers businesses and individuals access to resources including tools for digital reputation management, and search engine analytics, Wikipedia change analysis tools, and, application program interfaces (“APIs”), software as a service available on a subscription basis (e.g., Five Blocks IMPACT™, IMPACT News, AIQ and Five Blocks WikiAlerts™), any or all are “Services”.
C. Five Blocks Services are available from Five Blocks web domains, including, without limitation, Fiveblocks.com (“Sites”).
D. TOU Acceptance and Agreement; Users and Subscribers.
(1.) By accessing or using any Sites or Services, or by clicking or checking a box indicating “I agree,” “I accept,” or any similar expression of agreement while purchasing or obtaining access to any portion of any Sites or Services, you agree to be legally bound by this TOU. (Please print a copy of this TOU for your records.) If you do not agree to the TOU, you are not authorized to use and you must cease using any Sites or Services.
(2.) You may be granted access to portions of any Sites or Services with a free or beta account as a user (“User”). While access to certain other portions of the Sites and selected features of the Services is free, Five Blocks may charge fees for features and benefits associated with any Sites or Services at any time. Any User who pays to access or use parts of the Sites or Services is a “Subscriber” in this TOU. References to the terms “you” or “your” in the TOU refer to Users or Subscribers, as applicable.
(3.) If you accept this TOU on behalf of any other person(s) or organization(s), then you represent to Five Blocks that you are legally authorized to do so, and “you” or “your” therefore also includes those other person(s) or organization(s).
E. Five Blocks may revise and update this TOU at any time for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion, effective immediately on posting the same to the Sites. The TOU will indicate at the beginning (top of the page) the date on which the current TOU was last revised and effective. It is your responsibility to check the then-current TOU for any changes. YOU AGREE THAT THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THIS TOU LEGALLY BINDS YOU FOR ANY OF YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF THE SITES AND ANY SERVICES, AND YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MOST RECENT TOU VERSION SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES THE PRIOR VERSION AND BINDS YOU FOR THE ENTIRETY OF ANY UNEXPIRED AND ACTIVE TERMS OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO ANY SERVICES.
F. If you enter into a separate written agreement with Five Blocks, executed physically or digitally (e.g. DocuSign®) by both you and Five Blocks, for you to access or use any Sites or Services (“Other Five Blocks Agreement”), to the extent that the terms of any Other Five Blocks Agreement conflict with the terms of this TOU, the conflicting terms of such Other Five Blocks Agreement will override the conflicting terms of this TOU unless the Other Five Blocks Agreement states the contrary.
2. Terms and Conditions Governing API Usage
A. As a Service, Five Blocks may provide application program interfaces and accompanying software code and documentation to access and use proprietary Five Blocks information and data about Search Results and URLs (“Five Blocks Data”).
B. If Five Blocks provides you any API via a secret access key, subject to this TOU, then Five Blocks grants you a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to make a reasonable number of copies of and use the API to access Five Blocks Data to use other Services. If you use or publicly display any Five Blocks Data accessed with any API, you also will comply with any Five Blocks link and attribution guidelines on the Sites from time to time.
C. You may not resell or redistribute any proprietary Five Blocks API that Five Blocks licensed to you or any Five Blocks Data via your own API or offer it to any third parties.
D. Five Blocks reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to any API at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. If your access to any API is suspended or terminated, you have no rights associated with such API and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to any refund or other compensation whatsoever.
3. Terms and Conditions Governing Software as a Service Use and Subscriptions
Certain Services include Five Blocks proprietary software as a service accessed and used from the Sites; if you are a User of or Subscriber to any such Services, then you are also subject to the following specific terms and conditions.

Subscriptions recur monthly in most cases, depending on the renewal term agreed upon at signup. You must ensure that the credit card information used for your account or subscription is current and accurate, and that you are authorized to use that credit card. Five Blocks’ credit card processor may implement fraud-protection measures anytime including, without limitation, temporarily charging small amounts to validate your credit card and authorization.
(2.) Subscription Cancellation. An email to services@fiveblocks.com is required to cancel your Services subscription. Cancellation does not entitle you to any refund whatsoever. You will continue to have access to the Sites and Services you have paid for until the end of your subscription term, but will lose access if the subscription is not in good standing.
(3.) No Refunds. Five Blocks will not provide you any refunds at any time. If you cancel your subscription, Five Blocks is not obligated to refund fees for any portion of your subscription term. If you choose to downgrade your subscription during your subscription term, you may be entitled to pay a lower, prorated amount as of the date of renewal, but you are not entitled to any refund at any time.

Five Blocks assumes no obligation to maintain or store any User-Generated Content. Five Blocks may delete, modify, or restrict the display of User-Generated Content at any time for any reason, including but not limited to a change in Subscriber account level, Services cancellation, violation of the TOU; once deleted, User-Generated Content may not be retrieved.

Five Blocks reserves the right to modify, update, interrupt, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or a part of any Sites or Services without notice. You agree that Five Blocks shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any Sites or Services. You are also responsible for providing all equipment you use to access any Sites or Services.
7. User Feedback and Beta Services
A. “Feedback” means any ideas, suggestions, or comments that you provide to Five Blocks related to any Sites, Services, or any other Five Blocks technologies, products, service, or business activities (in beta, pre-release, or released versions). You agree that you have no expectation of, and Five Blocks has no obligations for, confidentiality or privacy in any Feedback. You grant Five Blocks a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, display, publish, or perform any Feedback and to make, have made, sell, offer to sell, and import any products, services, or materials existing now or in the future that include or incorporate any of your Feedback, including but not limited to any Sites or Services.
B. From time to time, Five Blocks may add new features to the Services that may be described as “beta” services or features (collectively, “Beta Features”). Beta Features will be considered part of the Sites or Services and all provisions of this TOU relating to any Sites or Services will apply to the Beta Features as well. Users acknowledge that Beta Features may be untested, non-functional, and/or partially functional features of the Sites or Services. If you use a Beta Feature, you do so at your own risk. Notwithstanding anything else in this TOU to the contrary, Beta Features are provided “AS IS” and Five Blocks disclaims any warranties associated with any Beta Feature. You assume and bear any risk that Beta Features may harm or interrupt operation of your software or hardware.
8. Services Credits
Five Blocks occasionally and in its sole discretion may offer Subscribers opportunities to earn credits toward future Services (“Service Credits”), including, for example, Service Credits for new Subscriber referrals. Service Credits may be revoked at any time and for any reason at Five Blocks’ discretion, and are never redeemable for cash, exchanged, sold, or rolled into a separate account. Reasons why Five Blocks might exercise discretion and revoke and void Service Credits include but are not limited to a referred account that is not an actual person or company, is otherwise not in good standing, or was fraudulently obtained. Five Blocks in its sole discretion may also undertake other actions (such as terminating your subscription or banning you from any future referral program) for such behavior. Unused credits may expire at the discretion of Five Blocks.

A. As between you and Five Blocks, other than User-Generated Content, Five Blocks owns all right, title, and interest in any Sites or Services, including without limitation the visual interfaces, interactive features, graphics, design, compilation, computer code, products, software, and all other elements and components of any Sites or Services (“Five Blocks Content”).

EXCEPT WHERE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE BY FIVE BLOCKS, ANY SITES OR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” Users or Subscribers may have additional rights as a consumer under local law that this TOU cannot change.
12. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE; LIABILITY LIMITATION; EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR USERS AND SUBSCRIBERS
A. Third-Party Software. You are solely and entirely responsible for any third-party software that you obtain and use in connection with any Sites or Services. Five Blocks exercises no control over such third-party software, and is not responsible for its performance. Your purchase or use of such software shall be governed by the terms and conditions of such third parties, and you may therefore be asked to accept terms and conditions at the time of purchase and/or access. Five Blocks is not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused to you by use of or reliance on any third-party software. You are responsible for all fees charged to you by third parties, or such software or other services you require related to accessing or using any Sites or Services. You are responsible for obtaining all licenses for third-party software for your use with any Sites or Services. If Five Blocks believes that you lack necessary rights to use any third-party software that you depend on or use with any Sites or Services, Five Blocks may suspend or terminate your access to such Sites or Services.
B. EXCLUSIONS OF CERTAIN DAMAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. You agree that these exclusions of damages and limitations of liability are a fundamental element of the parties’ agreements in this TOU.
(1.) Under no circumstances will Five Blocks or any of its third-party suppliers or any of their respective affiliates be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your reliance on information or other content posted on the Sites or transmitted to or by you or any other Users or Subscribers.
(2.) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER FIVE BLOCKS NOR ANY OF ITS THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY ORGANIZATIONS, FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM ANY ACCESS TO OR USE OF ANY SITES OR SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF FIVE BLOCKS OR ANY OF ITS THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS WERE ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE. The disclaimer in the preceding sentence includes any damages arising from your inability to access or use any Sites or Services (including due to modification, suspension, blocking, discontinuance, cancellation, or termination of any Services or any part thereof). Without limiting the foregoing, you specifically acknowledge and agree that neither Five Blocks nor any of its third-party suppliers is liable for the defamatory, offensive, infringing, breaching, fraudulent, or illegal conduct of other users, subscribers, or third parties and that any risk from the foregoing are assumed entirely by you. These limitations apply to any matter related to any Sites, Services, or their content; third-party Internet sites, programs, or conduct; viruses or other disabling features; incompatibility between any Sites or Services and other services, software, or hardware; and any delay or failure in initiating, conducting, or completing any transmission or transaction connected with any Sites or Services in an accurate or timely manner.
(3.) Limitation of Liability. Any liability of Five Blocks or any of Five Blocks’s third-party suppliers of any kind arising out of or related to this TOU (including but not limited to warranty claims) or any of your use of the Sites or Services, regardless of the forum and whether any action or claim is based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, shall not exceed the greater of (a.) the total amount paid by you to Five Blocks to access or use any Sites or Services giving rise to such liability during the six (6) months immediately preceding the date the liability arose or (b.) twenty United States dollars (USD$20.00).
(4.) This Section 15.B. applies even if this remedy does not fully compensate you for any losses or fails its essential purpose; or even if Five Blocks or any of its third-party suppliers knew or should have known about the possibility of the losses, liability, or damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of liability for certain claims or causes of action, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you in these jurisdictions.
13. Special Admonitions for International Use
A. Your Internet use may be global; thus, you agree to comply with all local rules and laws regarding your access and use of any Sites or Services through the Internet, and without limitation, you will comply with all applicable laws regarding obscene and indecent content and transmitting technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.
B. With respect to any personal data (as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR] [EU] 2016/679 and any other applicable data protection legislation) (“Personal Data”) which Five Blocks processes on your behalf, Five Blocks is more typically the Data Controller and is not a Data Processor to Personal Data in which you are a Data Controller. However, in the unlikely event that you believe Five Blocks is a Data Processor to you as a Data Controller, please contact Five Blocks at services@fiveblocks.com, and Five Blocks can consider if it is necessary under applicable law for you to appoint Five Blocks as a Data Processor pursuant to an appropriate Data Processor agreement/addendum.
14. Termination
Upon termination of Services, any payment liabilities owed to Five Blocks and accrued prior to the effective date of the termination will survive. In addition to any obligations or restrictions in the TOU that by their nature should reasonably survive termination of this TOU, the following sections shall also survive termination of this TOU: 1.A., 1.D.(1.), 1.D.(3.), 1.F., 2.C., 3.A.(1.), 3.A.(6.)(a.), 3.B.(1.), 3.B.(3.), 4.C., 4.F., 4.G., 4.J., 5., 6., 7.C. to 7.E., 8., 9., and 11. to 18. You are solely responsible for removing your information and material from any Sites or Services prior to any termination. Five Blocks is not obligated to retain your information, material, or data following termination.
15. Miscellaneous Clauses
A. Changes to Services. Five Blocks may change any Sites or Services from time to time, with or without notice, by adding, modifying, suspending, or discontinuing features of such Sites or Services. Your access to and use of any Sites or Services depends on you complying with any applicable laws or this TOU.
B. Force Majeure. Neither you nor Five Blocks will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this TOU if the delay or failure is due to circumstances beyond such party’s reasonable control. The affected party will notify the other party of such event and resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.
D. Notices. If Five Blocks must send you additional information regarding the TOU or any Sites or Services, you consent to receiving this information electronically. Five Blocks may provide required information to you by email at any address you registered with the Sites or Services or via posting on the Sites or Services. Notices provided to you via email are effective on the transmission date. You will provide Five Blocks any written notice under this TOU by email to services@fiveblocks.com.
E. Forum and Jurisdiction. This TOU is governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located NY, NY, USA to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that arises from this TOU.
F. Additional Rights and Obligations. This TOU shall neither obligate Five Blocks, nor provide any rights, to any third-party whatsoever as an intended third-party beneficiary under this TOU. You and Five Blocks are independent contractors without authority to bind each other or to make any representations on behalf of the other party, and you and Five Blocks shall not be held to be partners or co-venturers. If any provision of this TOU is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be held superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision; the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Any party’s failure to act with respect to a breach of this TOU does not constitute a waiver or affect that party’s rights to act subsequently. You may not assign rights or delegate any duties under this TOU without prior written notice to and consent by Five Blocks. This TOU will bind any permitted successors and permitted assigns.
G. Entire Agreement. The TOU constitutes the entire agreement between you and Five Blocks and governs your access to and use of any Sites or Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Five Blocks (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the TOU). In no case shall any terms on a purchase order or other non-Five Blocks ordering document from you apply to, in addition to, or otherwise be included in the provisions of this TOU without Five Blocks’ prior written consent and agreement. No modification of this TOU is binding unless it is in writing and signed by you and Five Blocks.
