Description of sumApp Services
Greater than the Sum (“sumApp”, “we”, “our”, “us”) developed the sumApp website (“Website”, “Services”) to help you solve complex problems by gathering the data needed for visualizing and tracking key relationships and connections. However, be responsible in what you add to sumApp. In particular, make sure that none of the prohibited items listed below appear on your account or get linked to from your account (things like spam, viruses, or hate content). If you find material on sumApp that you believe violates our terms of service, please contact us at christine@greaterthanthesum.com.
sumApp (“we” or “us”) provides two types of Services:
“Subscription Services”, which are the series of proprietary computer software programs developed by us as delivered to you that facilitate and automate the process of conducting surveys, polls, intercepts, and reports (“Software”), products and related systems, security, updates, and improvements thereto, and support services accessed by you using a web browser and the Internet. Subscription Services are specified in a valid ordering document executed by you and sumApp (an “Order”) and are purchased on a monthly or annual basis as set forth in an Order; and“Professional Services”, which are Services other than Subscription Services that we perform or provide, including the development and delivery of certain deliverables (“Deliverables”) specified in an Order. Professional Services are purchased on a project basis.
For purposes of these Terms, data includes all survey responses, reports, and any other information input or generated on your behalf in connection with the Services (“Data”).
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your payment of any applicable fees, effective upon the execution of an applicable Order, sumApp gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software that is provided to you by sumApp as part of the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services as provided by sumApp, in the manner permitted by these Terms of Services.
sumApp reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice.
Prices of all Services, including but not limited to monthly subscription plan fees to the Services, are subject to change upon 30 days’ notice from us. Such notice may be provided by sending an email or by posting the changes to the sumApp website.
sumApp shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.
All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties.
All paid plans must enter a valid payment account. Free accounts are not required to provide payment account information.
You are solely responsible for properly canceling your account. An email or phone request to cancel your account is not considered cancellation. You can cancel your account at any time by clicking on the “My Account” link in the navigation bar at the left of the screen. The “My Account” screen allows you to either downgrade your account to the free, Tier I plan or to ‘Freeze’ your subscription.
Automatic Renewal. Unless you notify sumApp before the end of the applicable subscription period that you want to cancel a Tier II-Tier III Account, your Account subscription will automatically renew and you authorize us to collect the then-applicable annual or monthly subscription fee for such Account (as well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism we have on record for you.
Your Data
Copyright and Content Ownership. We claim no intellectual property rights over the material you provide to sumApp. Your projects, profile, and other materials uploaded remain yours. However, by sharing sumApp data in a map publicly, you agree to allow others to view your Content. By granting others access to your project or by setting your projects to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view, download and replicate your project. You consent for your project and its data to be viewed by us as needed to run the Services. You give us the permissions we need to do those things solely to provide the Services. This permission also extends to trusted third parties we work with to provide the Services.
We may not monitor or control the content posted via the Services and, we cannot take responsibility for such content. However, we reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, (ii) enforce the Terms of Services, including investigation of potential violations hereof, (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, (iv) respond to user support requests, or (v) protect the rights, property or safety of sumApp, its users and the public. Please note that, even in such case, sumApp shall not disclose personally identifying information to third parties except in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Use of the Services
You are responsible for controlling access to your account, including by creating a strong password, protecting that password, and preventing unauthorized account usage.
You are responsible for creating backups of your Data.
If using the Services to email third parties, you will ensure that the third parties have validly consented to receive communications from you or you have a valid legal basis for contacting such third parties.
Portability and Migratability
You may obtain a complete copy of your entire dataset at any time in either .csv or .json format via the Data Download page of your account.
sumApp structures and exports the data you’ve gathered in sumApp in such a way that you can link it directly into Kumu.io, however, it is possible to aggregate more data within sumApp than can be migrated through a browser or then will load into Kumu. If your link to Kumu consistently causes your browser to time out, or if Kumu takes so long to load your dataset that the browser freezes, you will need to take actions to reduce the data-load. Actions may include reducing the number of time-frames you are using for time-tagging, or removing inactive members or others. sumApp is not responsible for ensuring that your dataset will migrate or for guiding you in taking action to mitigate the issue.
Third-Party Platform Compatibility:
sumApp data will make every reasonable effort, but cannot guarantee that the data gathered through sumApp will all show up in the intended way in Kumu or that Kumu will handle it the way you expect. To this same effect, we cannot guarantee sumApp data will appear as intended on any future service that is compatible or partners with sumApp software.
