Terms of Service

Effective Date: February 15, 2023
Welcome to the Eden (“Eden”) website located at www.edenworkplace.com (the “Site”) and mobile application (“App”) and corresponding services offered by Eden Software Solutions LLC (“Eden”). These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of our Site and App (the “Platform”) and our provision of a variety of services (each a “Platform Service” and collectively, the “Platform Services”) to you. The Platform Services include software-based workforce management tools (“Software Service” and collectively “Software Services”). If you use the Platform, you are a “Customer”.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND EDEN THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 15 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION.

1. Agreement to Terms

Eden provides the Platform Services to you only upon the condition that you accept these Terms. By accessing or using the Platform or a Platform Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, then you may not access or use the Platform, or utilize the Platform Services. If you are accessing and using the Platform and the Platform Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other legal entity.

2. Changes to Terms or Platform Services

Eden may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Platform or through other communications. It’s important that you review the modified Terms because if you continue to use the Platform and the Platform Services after we’ve let you know that the Terms have been modified, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms then you may no longer use the Platform and the Platform Services. Because the Platform and the Platform Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Platform or the Platform Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

3. The Platform Services

a. Platform Services.  Subject to Customer’s compliance with these Terms, Eden hereby grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Subscription Services during the Term, solely for Customer’s internal business purposes.

b. Authorized Users.  Customer will not allow any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, association, governmental authority, or other entity (each, a “Person”) other than Customer’s employees, contractors, or agents who are authorized by Customer to use the Platform Services (each, an “Authorized User”) to use the Platform Services. Customer may permit Authorized Users to Use the Platform Services, provided that (i) the use, including the number of Authorized Users, does not exceed the licensed volume set forth on the Order Form; (ii) Customer ensures each Authorized User complies with these Terms; (iii) Customer is responsible for all acts or omissions by Authorized Users in connection with their access and use of the Platform Services; and (iv) each Authorized User uses its own login credentials to access the Platform Services (i.e., Authorized Users may not share their login credentials).

c. Additional Services. From time to time, Eden may make available certain additional features or services to Customer (collectively, “Additional Services”). Provision of any such Additional Services by Eden will be subject to the execution of specific Order Form(s) or amendments to existing Order Forms. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in the applicable Order Form, Customer’s use of the Additional Services will be subject to these Terms.

d. Templates. Any example language or agreements offered in connection with the Platform Services (e.g., example confidentiality agreements or terms for visitors) are provided solely as examples for informational purposes.

Exclusions.  The obligations in Section 6 will not apply to the extent any information: (a) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault or breach of these Terms by the receiving party; (b) is rightfully known by the receiving party at the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without access to or use of any Confidential Information that can be evidenced in writing; or (d) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party without restriction on use or disclosure. In addition, the receiving party may disclose such Confidential Information of the disclosing party that it is required to disclose pursuant to a court order or other judicial process provided, the receiving party shall first give the disclosing party prompt notice and only disclose the minimum amount of information required.  Eden may further disclose under confidentiality the existence of these Terms to any of its investors, shareholders, or prospective investors or acquirers.   

c. Restrictions. Neither party will use or disclose any Confidential Information, except as necessary for the performance of these Terms and each party will use all reasonable efforts to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than the efforts that it ordinarily uses with respect to its own proprietary information of a similar nature and importance.  Each party may disclose Confidential Information only to those of its employees who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information for the performance of these Terms; provided, that each such employee first executes a written agreement (or is otherwise already bound by a written agreement) that contains use and nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective of the Confidential Information as those set forth in these Terms. In addition, Customer may disclose Reports only to those of its services providers who have a bona fide need to know such Reports for the sole purpose of providing services to Customer; provided, that each such service provider first executes a written agreement (or is otherwise already bound by a written agreement) that contains use and nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective of the Reports as those set forth in these Terms.  To the extent there is a breach of Confidential Information or Intellectual Property Rights, each party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the posting of a bond or other similar requirement.

In such instances, Eden will seek your consent in writing before announcing the business relationship between the parties. After receiving such consent, during the Term, Eden may display your name, trademarks and logos (collectively, “Customer Marks”) on Eden’s website and marketing materials to identify you as Eden’s customer, provided that Eden shall use commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to any usage guidelines provided by you with respect to the Customer Marks.
