These Deeto Subscription Terms of Service (the “Terms”), together with an Order Form, if entered into between you and Deeto, govern your access and use of the SaaS Services.
Please read these Terms carefully as they govern your use of the subscription to the SaaS Services ("Subscription"). The Enrollment, together with these Terms (collectively, the “Agreement”) constitute the complete agreement between Deeto and you (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) and supersede any prior discussions or representations regarding your order or use of the SaaS Services. Any additional terms and/or conditions you add or incorporate into any purchase orders, statements of work, order forms, or any other document are excluded and shall be null and void.
BY EXECUTING OR CONFIRMING AN ORDER FORM TO WHICH THESE TERMS HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED, OR BY ASSENTING TO THESE TERMS ONLINE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ THESE TERMS AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEM. IF YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, YOU HEREBY REPRESENT AND WARRANT TO US THAT YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF SUCH BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND BIND IT TO THESE TERMS, IN WHICH CASE, THE TERMS “YOU” AND “YOUR” AND “ORGANIZATION” WILL REFER TO YOUR BUSINESS ORGANIZATION.

For background, the SaaS Services have three classes of users. The first are companies, in the role of vendors, that wish to benefit from client-references (e.g., testimonials and recommendations by the customers of any such company). The second class of users are those who provide testimonials and recommendations regarding a vendor's products or services. The third class of users are prospective customers (prospects) of the vendor, who may wish to gain access to the testimonials and recommendations.
These Terms apply only to Organizations in the role of vendors. These Terms do not apply to those who provide testimonials and recommendations regarding a vendor's product or service, nor to prospective customers (prospects) of the vendor, who may wish to gain access to the testimonials and recommendations. Our Terms of Service (References) apply to those who provide testimonials and recommendations, and our Terms of Service (Prospects) apply to prospects of the vendor, who may wish to gain access to the testimonials and recommendations.
