Delphi Research reserves the right to change the Subscription, or its availability to you, at any time.

2. Registration; Passwords

The provisions of the Terms under the heading “Registration and Account Information” are incorporated by reference herein. If you are a business or other entity, you may purchase and register an Account for more than one Subscription Product on behalf of your individual employees, contractors or agents (each, an “Authorized User”).

You agree to notify us promptly if you change your address or email so we can continue to contact you and send any notices required hereunder. If you fail to notify us promptly of a change, then any notice we send to your old address or email shall be deemed sufficient notice.

Your access to certain Services provided as part of our Subscription Products is password-protected. You and your Authorized Users (if applicable) are responsible for ensuring that passwords are kept confidential. Sharing passwords by you or your Authorized Users is strictly prohibited. You and your Authorized Users shall maintain industry standard computing environments to ensure that both your and our property is secure and inaccessible to unauthorized persons.

You are responsible for (i) proper use of our Property in accordance with all Documentation, usage instructions and operating specifications; (ii) adherence to the minimum recommended technical requirements; (iii) changes you make to our Services or data; (iv) your combination of our Property with any other products, services, data or other property; (v) implementing and maintaining proper and adequate virus or malware protection and proper and adequate backup and recovery systems; and (vi) installing updates.

3. Fees and Payments

You agree to pay the subscription fees and any other charges incurred in connection with the Subscription (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. We will bill all charges to your credit card. Subscription fees will be billed at the beginning of your Subscription or any renewal. We may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance. If you want to use a different credit card or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, or if you believe someone has accessed the Subscription using your user name and password without your authorization, you must contact us. You are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access the Subscription through an Internet access provider or other third-party service.

Trial Terms

From time to time, we may provide a free trial or introductory offer. Upon signing up for a free trial, you will have access to the Subscription for the trial period. If you cancel your Subscription prior to the end of the trial period, your credit card will not be charged. If you don’t cancel your Subscription within the trial offer period, we will charge the primary credit card you provided during the sign-up process. 

All trials of our Services are subject to the terms of this Agreement, unless we notify you otherwise. Access to our Services for trials may only be used for your evaluation purposes. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, any data you enter into the Services, and any customizations made to the Services by or for you, during any free trial may be permanently destroyed at the end of the trial.

4. Renewal and Automatic Billing

The term and any renewal terms for the Services are described in the applicable Purchase Document. If not otherwise stated in the applicable Purchase Document, the Agreement will automatically renew annually unless either of us gives the other at least 60 days written notice before the end of the then current term.

For multi-year and annual subscriptions (including annual subscriptions with monthly billing), we will notify you of the pending renewal of the Subscription. You must cancel the Subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of Subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card.

BY PLACING YOUR ORDER, YOU PROVIDE YOUR ELECTRONIC AUTHORIZATION FOR FUTURE CHARGES AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD ON FILE UNLESS YOU CANCEL.

Your Subscription will automatically renew at the then-current rate, until you notify us of your decision to terminate your membership. Most subscriptions will renew for one-year terms, regardless of the offer under which the Subscription was initiated. We will notify you about the length and price for your renewal before we charge you. Monthly subscription terms will be notified annually regarding future renewals.

Accordingly, you agree that your Subscription fee will be billed automatically at the beginning of each renewal period at the then-current rate (plus tax, if applicable) to the credit card you used in your most recent transaction with us.

5. Suspensions, Terminations and Refunds

Delphi Research reserves the right to refuse or discontinue the Subscription to any user at any time at our sole discretion. 

We may on notice terminate, suspend or limit your use of any portion or all of our Services if (i) requested to do so by a third-party provider, court or regulator; (ii) you become or are reasonably likely to become insolvent; or (iii) there has been or it is reasonably likely that there will be: a breach of security; a breach of your obligations under the Agreement or another agreement between us; a breach of our agreement with a third-party provider; or a violation of third party rights or applicable law. Our notice will specify the cause of the termination, suspension or limitation and, if the cause of the termination suspension or limitation is reasonably capable of being remedied, we will inform you of the actions you must take to reinstate the Service. If you do not take the actions or the cause cannot be remedied within 30 days, we may suspend, limit or terminate the Agreement in whole or in part. Charges remain payable in full during periods of suspension or limitation arising from your action or inaction.

Generally, a Subscription is non-refundable. If we discontinue your Subscription for reasons unrelated to your breach of this Agreement, we will provide a pro-rated refund of the Subscription fees.

Except to the extent we have agreed otherwise, upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, all licenses and rights granted herein shall end immediately and you must uninstall or destroy all copies of our Property. Additionally, upon expiration or termination, at your request, we will, at our discretion, either return or destroy your confidential information, except as may be required for archival or compliance purposes. Termination of the Agreement will not (i) relieve you of your obligation to pay Delphi Research or its agent any amounts you owe up to and including the date of termination; (ii) affect other accrued rights and obligations; or (iii) terminate those parts of the Agreement that by their nature should continue or those that expressly state shall survive termination.

6. Transfers

If you are an individual, you may not transfer your Subscription. If you are an organization maintaining multiple Subscriptions, you may transfer the Subscriptions to other Authorized Users within your organization; however, each registration may correspond to only one natural person at a time. In the event a Subscription is transferred, it will continue through the end of its term and can be renewed at the then-current price and conditions.

7. Ownership; Limitations on Use; Licenses & Delivery

The rights granted to you and each Authorized User during the term of the Agreement are further limited as follows:

You shall not use our Property or permit a third party to use our Property for any purposes beyond the scope of the access granted herein. Unless otherwise expressly permitted in the Agreement, you may not and you may not permit a third party to: (i) sell, license, sublicense, distribute, publish, display, store, copy, modify, decompile, decode or disassemble, reverse engineer, remove any proprietary notices, translate or transfer our Property in whole or in part, or as a component of any other product, service or material; (ii) use our Property or our third-party providers’ property to train any artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning algorithms or software or create any derivative works, compilations or collective works or in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any applicable law; or (iii) allow any third parties to access, use or benefit from our Property in any way. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may (a) download and print limited extracts of content from our Services solely for your own internal business purposes and (b) on an infrequent, irregular and ad hoc basis, distribute limited extracts of content from our Services; provided that, in either case, (1) such extracts do not reach such quantity as to have commercial value and you do not use such extracts as a substitute for any Services and (2) Delphi Research is cited and credited as the source.

Exercising legal rights that cannot be limited by agreement is not precluded. Only if you are in the business of providing audit, tax, or accounting services, or legal advice to your clients, this restriction does not preclude you from using our Services to benefit your clients in the ordinary course of your business in accordance with the Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in the Agreement we retain all rights and you are granted no rights in or to our Property.

Your access and use of the Services and Documentation that are part of the Subscription Product is further limited by the provisions of the Terms under the heading “Usage Restrictions”.

We may delete or disable Subscriber Data if required under applicable law, in which case we will use our reasonable efforts to provide notice to you.

We will deliver our Services and any Documentation electronically, on tangible media, or by other means, in our sole discretion. When you download or access our Services or Documentation, you are accepting it for use in accordance with the Agreement.

8. Confidentiality; Privacy

Each party agrees to (i) protect any confidential information received from the other party using the same standard of care it uses to protect its own confidential information (which shall be no less than a reasonable degree of care) and (ii) not disclose any part of it to any third party except to its affiliates, contractors, financial advisors, accountants and attorneys who are subject to confidentiality duties or obligations to the recipient that are no less restrictive than the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If a court or government agency orders either of us to disclose the confidential information of the other, the other will be promptly notified so that an appropriate protective order or other remedy can be obtained unless the court or government agency prohibits prior notification. These obligations of confidentiality do not apply to information which: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public (through no act or omission of the receiving party); (b) becomes known to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis through a third party who is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality with respect to that information; (c) was lawfully in the possession of the receiving party prior to such disclosure as established by documentary evidence; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party, as established by documentary evidence, without reference to or use of, in whole or in part, any of the disclosing party’s confidential information. This section shall survive three (3) years after the termination of this Agreement or until the confidential information is no longer deemed confidential under applicable law, whichever occurs first.

Registration data and other information about you are subject to our Privacy Policy. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where Delphi Digital has facilities (regardless of where the information was collected), and by subscribing to the Subscription, you consent to the transfer of information outside of your country.
