CDP: Worldwide Database

In connection with dtw’s CDP: WorldWide Database (the “Database”); you, as the authorized named user of your access credentials, and on behalf of your company (together, the “Customer”) that has an Agreement with dtw, acknowledge and agree to the following:

Purpose

Customer agrees to use the Database and all information obtained therefrom SOLELY FOR ITS INTERNAL PROFESSIONAL AND/OR INTERNAL BUSINESS PURPOSES and not for any other purpose.

Confidential and Proprietary

The Database is confidential and proprietary information and/or an original work of authorship compiled and owned by dtw.
You understand that the Database is unique and proprietary in that it gathers data from hundreds of unrelated sources; sorts and catalogues that data; and makes that data readily available and searchable to facilitate market research and other studies.
Customer shall keep in confidence and protect the Database from disclosure to unauthorized parties and restrict its use as provided in these Terms of Use and your company’s Agreement with dtw.
While each individual image within the Database may be available from another source, dtw’s Database is a unique, confidential and proprietary compilation of this data.

Database Access Credentials

Customer shall be primarily liable for the acts or omissions of its employees, contract hires, temporary personnel and/or any person or entity to whom or to which it or they disclosed or revealed a designated user’s access credentials to the Database (“Database Access Credentials”), and/or the use of Database Access Credentials for each Customer designated user by any unauthorized party or for use for any unauthorized purpose.

Customer shall be responsible for all activity by anyone using Customer’s Database Access Credentials.

Customers are strictly prohibited from disclosing or sharing Database Access Credentials to or with third parties, including other employees or other personnel within your company.

Accuracy of Information

dtw strives to keep the Site accurate, current and up to date. However, because resources, laws, and regulations rapidly change and evolve, dtw does not guarantee that all of the information obtained through or furnished by dtw, including but not limited to data readily available and searchable by the Database to facilitate market research and other studies, is correct, current and/or complete.

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE RESOURCES YOU ACCESS PURSUANT TO YOUR USE OF THE DATABASE OR OUR SERVICES AND PRODUCTS OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU VIEW ON THOSE RESOURCES.

Release and Covenant With Respect to Accuracy of Information

By accessing and using the Site and the Database, you recognize that the accuracy of any information obtained through or furnished by dtw is not guaranteed by dtw, and you release dtw and our licensors, officers, agents, employees and independent contractors from any liability for any negligence in connection with the preparation of information and from any loss or expense suffered by you or any individual or others resulting directly or indirectly from the contents of the information accessed and viewed by you in the use of the Database and our services.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, YOU COVENANT NOT TO SUE OR MAINTAIN ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION, DEMAND, CROSS-ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD-PARTY ACTION OR OTHER FORM OF PLEADING AGAINST dtw AND OUR OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE ACCURACY OR INACCURACY, VALIDITY OR NON-VALIDITY, OF ANY OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO OR ACCESSED BY YOU THROUGH dtw AND ITS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

Payment Options and Obligations

When you elect to purchase a Subscription to the CDP Wordlwide Database or a SnapShot Report, your company has different payment options. You may pay for your purchase with your company credit card
(which we do not retain on file), or you can purchase on an account with dtw established by your company and we will bill your company at months’ end, with net 30 day payment terms.

If you use your company account to make such a purchase, you are thereby warranting to dtw, intending to dtw to rely thereon, that you are an authorized account user, and have the authority to obligate the company to remit payment to dtw in accordance with these terms.

If your company does not remit payment within such 30 day period, then you further agree, as an authorized representative of your company that your company will charged and be obligated to and will owe to dtw interest on such late payment at the rate of XX% or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower, until payment in full has been made.

If you and other users of your company’s account fail to remit timely payment on the company account for more than XX consecutive months or three (3) times in any rolling 12 month period, you agree, on behalf of your company that dtw reserves the right to terminate your company’s right to use this account process for payment of CDP Worldwide or CDP Snapshot purchases. Further, we reserve the right to terminate your company’s agreement with dtw as a result of such non-payment.

If dtw elects to cancel this account feature, we will notify your company at least 60 days in advance.
