Impact Ministries Terms of Service
By using the Impact Ministries service located at https://impactministries.sponsorsoft.ca THIS (the “Website”) and providing your data to Impact Ministries, you, individually and/or on behalf of your organization (collectively, “you” or “sponsor”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (this “Agreement”). The Services are defined as your access to the Website and the information you receive from Impact Ministries through the Website (the “Services”).
This Agreement sets out the legally binding terms for your use of the Services and may be modified by Impact Ministries from time to time in its sole discretion. Any modifications shall be effective upon posting by Impact Ministries on the Website.
1. Eligibility.
The Services are solely for access and use by Authorized Users (as defined below). By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you (a) have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement and (b) will abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you have agreed to become a paying sponsor for the Services, then your eligibility to use the Services shall be contingent on your continued compliance with the terms of the applicable purchase agreement and this Agreement. If you have not agreed to become a paying sponsor for the Services, your use of the Website is still subject to this Agreement.
2. Password.
Impact Ministries shall authorize individual representatives of sponsor as designated by sponsor from time to time (each an “Authorized User”), who will have access to the Services. You will also be asked to choose a username and a password for each Authorized User. Impact Ministries may change any username and password for any Authorized User at any time, with notice to sponsor following any such change. Each Authorized User must use his or her own username and password and shall not disclose them to anyone else. sponsor shall immediately notify Impact Ministries of any unauthorized disclosure. sponsor is responsible for (a) each Authorized User’s compliance with this Agreement and (b) any employee of sponsor, any person to whom sponsor has given access to the Services and any person who gains access to sponsor’s Services as a result of your failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if such use was not authorized by you.
3. Term.
This Agreement will remain in full force and effect while Impact Ministries offers the Services and/or you are a sponsor using the Services. Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason, at any time. After this Agreement is terminated, the following provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect: Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, and any other Section that by its nature survives termination.
4. Availability of and Access to Services.
Impact Ministries will attempt to provide continuous availability and access to Services. In the event that we are unable to provide access for reasons beyond our control, we will communicate the reasons for the outage and expected duration of the outage clearly and explicitly to the sponsor. These outages could be due to third parties that the Service depends on, such as, but not limited to Amazon AWS or other third party service providers. Also while we will make commercially reasonable attempts to backup all sponsor data, in the event of recovery from disaster, the sponsor may have to reconfigure the Service to get it back to the state it was in before the outage. SponsorSoft is hosted by a third party hosting service provider. Impact Ministries and its third party service providers have implemented and maintain commercially reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to meet the following objectives: (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of sponsor data in Impact Ministries' and/or its third party service providers' custody and control; (b) protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of sponsor data; (c) protect against unauthorized access to or use of sponsor data; (d) encrypt sponsor's Content and data during transmission by Impact Ministries and its third party service providers and when being uploaded by sponsor for use in connection with the Services using an https connection; and (e) ensure that Impact Ministries' return or disposal of sponsor data is performed in a manner consistent with the foregoing. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures to access your data for improper purposes.
