Each Client may have only one Account. If several persons need to use an Account on behalf of Client, Client must designate such persons as Users. Each such User shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms.

If Client has designated Users and granted them Authorization, such Users will be deemed to be authorized to act on behalf of Client when using the Account. Quidget is not responsible for and shall have no liability for verifying the validity of Authorization of any User. However, Quidget may, in its discretion, request additional information or proof of the person’s credentials. If Quidget is not certain if a User has been granted Authorization, Quidget may, in its sole discretion, prevent such User from accessing the Quidget Services.

A User may be associated with multiple Clients and Accounts. Deleting a User from one Account will not remove the User from the Platform if he/she is connected to multiple Accounts.

The Client and any User associated with an Account must provide Quidget with true, accurate, current, and complete information about the Client, Users or Account and keep it up to date.

5.2. Logging Into an Account

These Login Credentials must not be used by multiple persons. If Client wishes Users, Client shall invite Users via Platform; Each User as a part of registration process will be prompted to create a username and password. Client and each User are responsible for keeping confidential all login credentials associated with an Account. Client must promptly notify Quidget:

All Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies or duties applicable under any applicable law, unless stated otherwise stated herein. Client is solely responsible for the payment of such taxes, levies or duties.

Quidget reserves the right to change the terms of Free Trial at any time and/or suspend the Free Trial of any Client with or without cause.

5.6. Beta Services

Quidget may introduce certain Quidget Services as either closed or open beta services during a trial and evaluation period known as "Beta Services" or as complimentary offerings labeled as "Free Services”."

The Client consents to Quidget having exclusive authority and discretion in establishing the testing and evaluation period for Beta Services.

Quidget retains the prerogative to completely or partially discontinue any of the Free Services, temporarily or permanently, at its discretion, with or without prior notice to the Client. Additionally, Quidget maintains the right to offer the Free Services for a Fee.

6. Payment
