If there are material changes to these Terms of Use, we will notify you of any such modifications by e-mail. We encourage you to periodically review these Terms of Use. Your continued use of the Service after any updates or modification to these Terms of Use shall indicate your agreement with the revised Terms of Use.

The Service includes Storied Studio, Storied Analytics and Storied Data, and different account types including Storied Sites, Storied Ads, Storied Documents and Storied Embeds. Depending on the account type you are utilizing, you will be able to to, among other things (i) create and manage the distribution of interactive content experiences including presentations, ads, web sites, micro sites, interactive magazines, and more (the “Experiences”); (ii) create pages that aggregate and present the Experiences (“Content Hubs”); and (iii) use analytical tools to measure engagement within the Experiences and Content Hubs.

a. Your initial access to the Service may be provided as an evaluation period (the “Trial Period”). Upon expiration of the Trial Period, you will have the option of continuing with a paid subscription (the “Paid Subscription”), subject to payment of the applicable fees described below. During the Trial Period, (i) the Service is provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind, (ii) we may suspend, limit, or terminate your use of the Service for any reason at any time without notice, and (iii) we will not be liable to you for damages of any kind related to your use of the Service. Unless you elect to continue on with a Paid Subscription before the end of the Trial Period, all of Your Content and all other data relating to your use of the Service will be permanently deleted at the end of the Trial Period, and we will not be required to recover it.

b. Prior to accessing and using the Service, you will need an account for your company (the “Company Account”). Prior to accessing and using the Service as part of a Paid Subscription Term, you will need to sign a Storied Order Form through which you will select (i) the total number of your employees and/or contractors who are authorized to use the Service on your behalf (each, an “Authorized User”); and (ii) the total number of times an Experience may be viewed within a desktop or mobile browser, as well as within an embedded website, social site or native app, each month (the “Monthly Opens”).

c. Each Authorized User must select a username and password (“Access Credentials”) that he/she will be required to use to access the Service. Each Authorized User is solely responsible for the confidentiality of his/her Access Credentials. Access Credentials can only be used by the Authorized User to whom they are assigned, and Authorized Users shall not share their Access Credentials with any third party (including, without limitation, any employee or contractor of yours who is not an Authorized User). We reserve the right to delete or change any Access Credentials at any time and for any reason. You are responsible for all use of the Service made using any of your Authorized User’s Access Credentials. You will ensure that all Authorized Users are made aware of and comply with these Terms of Use, and you will be responsible for any breach of these Terms of Use by any Authorized User.

For the avoidance of doubt, this means that You are the "Data Controller" and Storied is the "Data Processor" with respect to all "Personal Data" of residents of the European Union who are Your customers that are introduced to the Service as a result of Your use, and that You (and not Storied) are responsible for meeting all of the obligations of Data Controllers regarding the collection and use of such Personal Data.

Storied reserves the right, without limiting any other right or remedy available at law, in equity, or under this Agreement, to immediately suspend Your access to and use of the Services if Storied determines, in its reasonable discretion, that You are violating (or have violated) any of the provisions set forth in this Section (each a “Restriction Violation”). Storied shall provide notice of such suspension to You (via the Services or otherwise) and, where practicable, the parties shall thereafter work together in good faith to resolve such Restriction Violation. In the event the Restriction Violation cannot be cured within a reasonable period of time after Storied's notification, Storied reserves the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and any Order Forms then in effect.

You further authorize us to use a third party payment processor to process payments, and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party. For payment of Fees by any method other than credit card (for example, check, wire transfer, or ACH), beginning on the start date set forth in an Order Form, Storied shall invoice You for Fees in accordance with the payment frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. You shall pay Fees in accordance with the Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order Form, all payments for which invoices are delivered are due within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice.

a. The initial Paid Subscription term will be selected by you when you create or update your Company Account (the “Initial Paid Subscription Term”). The Initial Paid Subscription Term will automatically renew for consecutive twelve (12) month terms (each, a “Renewal Paid Subscription Term” and, together with the Initial Paid Subscription Term, the “Paid Subscription Term”), unless one of us gives the other written notice that it does not intend to renew the Paid Subscription at least thirty (30) days before the end of the Initial Paid Subscription Term or any Renewal Paid Subscription Term. Should you decide not to renew your Initial Paid Subscription Term or any Renewal Paid Subscription Term, you agree to send the notice of non-renewal by email to billing@storied.co. Your Paid Subscription cannot be cancelled except as expressly permitted in these Terms of Use. We reserve the right to increase our fees with effect at the beginning of each Renewal Paid Subscription Term; provided, however, we will give you notice of such increase at least sixty (60) days before the end of the applicable term.

We will try to limit the suspension to the affected portion of the Service and promptly resolve the issues causing the suspension of the Service.
