The User shall pay the full amount of the applicable fees directly to the Provider, in accordance with the Provider's then-current pricing (the "Fees"). The Fees cover the authorized use, support, and maintenance of the Software during the Term.
The User is responsible for fulfilling all payment obligations under this Agreement. Regardless of whether the User selected a Monthly Term or an Annual Term, they shall remain fully responsible for the payment of the entire yearly subscription amount. No refunds or credits will be issued for any unused portion of the Term.
A service fee of $100 will be automatically applied to any pre-authorized payment, cheque, or other transaction that is refused, returned, or cancelled, for any reason.
In the event of late payment, the User must immediately provide an alternative method of payment. Interest will accrue on any outstanding balance at a rate of 2% per month, calculated from the date of default until full payment is received, without the need for further notice.
Applicable taxes (including but not limited to federal and provincial sales taxes) are not included in the Fees and will be added, where required by law. The User is responsible for paying all such taxes.
Any dispute or objection regarding an invoice issued by the Provider must be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

The User expressly waives any right to contest charges beyond this period.
8. Automatic Credit Card Payment
By accepting this Agreement, the User expressly authorizes the Provider to automatically charge the monthly invoice amount to the credit card provided at the time of registration or subsequently recorded in the User's account. The charged amount will correspond to the subscription fees and/or any other applicable fees under this Agreement. The User can verify the amount to be charged via the designated section in the application, based on modifications made during the month prior to the payment.After each charge, the User will receive a receipt by email indicating the amount debited and the transaction date. The User remains responsible for ensuring sufficient available credit to avoid failed payments.
If a payment attempt fails, the system will retry up to 3 times over a 72-hour period. If all attempts fail, the User's account may be suspended. After 3 payment failures within the same calendar year, the Provider may terminate the Agreement without refund or prior notice.
The User may update credit card details at any time through the customer account interface or by contacting customer support at support@follosoft.com. The User may request deactivation of automatic payments by emailing support@follosoft.com at least 15 days before the next billing date to avoid further automatic charges.
By continuing to use the Services, the User acknowledges and agrees to the recurring automatic billing terms unless explicitly modified or canceled in accordance with this clause.
9. Use of Tablets and Mobile Application
The User acknowledges and agrees that the Software includes a mobile application that is designed for compatibility exclusively with Android operating systems version 9 or newer. The Software is not compatible with iOS (Apple) devices. Use of any device or operating system not explicitly supported by the Provider may result in limited or degraded functionality, for which the Provider disclaims any and all responsibility.
If the User elects to use personal tablets or mobile devices to access the Software, the Provider does not provide any hardware support for such devices and offers only limited support for the use of the Software on them. The User assumes all risks associated with the use of unauthorized or incompatible hardware, including but not limited to performance issues, data loss, and additional support costs.
If the User purchases Provider-supplied tablets that include a cellular data plan, the User agrees to comply with the data usage limitations specified by the Provider. Each SIM card included in the tablets provides for a maximum of 500 MB of data usage per calendar month. Any usage above this limit will be automatically billed at the rate of twenty cents ($0.20) per additional MB. This data usage is measured and calculated automatically by the Provider's systems and cannot be disputed. Unused data cannot be rolled over to future months, accumulated, or refunded. While an average monthly usage of 250 MB is generally sufficient for standard use of the Services, the Provider does not guarantee this sufficiency.
The User is solely responsible for all risks, costs, and liabilities associated with exceeding data limits, using incompatible equipment, or operating the Software in conditions not explicitly supported by the Provider.
In cases where a Provider-supplied tablet is found to be defective, the User must notify the Provider in writing within 30 days of delivery. The Provider will forward the tablet to the original supplier, and if the supplier acknowledges the defect and approves an exchange, a replacement unit will be issued. If the tablet is not deemed defective by the supplier, it will be returned to the User without refund or replacement. After the expiration of the 30 day period, the User must liaise directly with the tablet manufacturer, and the Provider is fully released from any further responsibility or warranty obligations. The Provider offers no warranty beyond that offered by the original manufacturer and disclaims any obligation or ability to intervene in the manufacturer's warranty process.
The mobile application and all software components, whether accessed via desktop, tablet, or mobile device, remain subject to the same Intellectual Property Rights and restrictions as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. The Software, including but not limited to the application code, interface design, logos, images, content, documentation, and any updates or modifications thereto, is and shall remain the exclusive intellectual property of the Provider. Any unauthorized reproduction, redistribution, modification, or use of the Software or its components is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.
10. Ownership and Warranty of Tablets
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the User acknowledges that upon full payment of the applicable purchase price, ownership of any tablets supplied by the Provider (excluding any pre-installed software or applications subject to licensing terms) shall vest with the User. Accordingly, such tablets become the sole and exclusive property of the User, free of any lien or retention of title by the Provider.
However, the User further acknowledges and agrees that, upon the termination or non-renewal of the subscription to the Services, the User must promptly and permanently delete all Provider-related Software from each such tablet and effectuate a full factory reset of the device. This includes the deletion of any locally stored data, configurations, or credentials related to the Services. The Provider shall bear no responsibility for the execution or consequences of the factory reset. Furthermore, the User acknowledges that any quality assurance or warranty applicable to the tablet is strictly limited to the original manufacturer's warranty, and no additional warranties are provided by the Provider.
Failure to comply with this requirement may constitute a breach of this Agreement and result in the Provider pursuing any remedies available under law or equity. The User assumes all responsibility for ensuring the proper removal of proprietary content upon termination and releases the Provider from any liability in relation to data remaining on the tablets post-subscription.
11. Audit Rights
The Provider may audit the User's use of the Software at any time and with reasonable notice. Such audits may include, but are not limited to, the verification of the number of active Users, scope of use, compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and accuracy of payments. The audit may be conducted remotely or onsite and may be carried out by the Provider or by an independent auditor appointed by the Provider. The User agrees to cooperate fully with any such audit and to provide all relevant records, access, and assistance as reasonably requested.
If an audit reveals any underpayment or unauthorized use, the User shall promptly pay to the Provider any amounts due, including the cost of the audit if the discrepancy exceeds 5% of the Fees payable. The Provider reserves all rights to pursue legal or equitable remedies in connection with unauthorized use or non-compliance identified through an audit.
12. Warranty
The Provider represents and warrants that it has the legal right to grant the User access to and use of the Software in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This is the sole express warranty provided by the Provider under this Agreement.
Except as expressly set out above, the Service is provided on an "as is", "as available", and "with all faults" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Provider makes no representations, warranties, or conditions, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, regarding the Software or any related documentation, including but not limited to any implied warranties or conditions of:

- fitness for a particular purpose;
- title or non-infringement;
- availability, accuracy, completeness, usefulness, reliability, or timeliness;
- uninterrupted or error-free operation;
- compliance with any description or specification;
- or that defects will be corrected.
The User acknowledges and agrees that Software may not operate without interruption or be free of defects or errors and that use of Software may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Provider.
Any technical information, including namely Program material, brochures, marketing materials, data sheets, or other documentation made available by the Provider through the Service, its website, or other channels are provided for convenience only and may not be accurate, current, complete, or free of errors. Such materials shall not be construed as forming part of this Agreement or as a representation or warranty of any kind.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or consumer rights. To the extent that applicable law prohibits such exclusions or limitations, they shall not apply, and this clause shall be construed to limit the Provider's liability only to the maximum extent permissible by applicable law.
13. Limitations on Liability
The entire risk as to the use, performance, and security of the Software rests solely with the User. The User expressly acknowledges that the use of the Follosoft Services is at their own risk and that the Provider does not guarantee that the Services will operate without interruption and without errors, nor does it guarantee the results that can be obtained from the use of the Services.
The Provider, its affiliates, licensors, suppliers, subcontractors, employees, shareholders, administrators or representatives, as well as any person involved in the creation, production, supply, or distribution of the Service, cannot be held liable for any damages, direct or indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, or otherwise—including without limitation loss of revenue, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of data, business interruption, or cost of replacement services—whether arising in contract, tort, strict liability, equity or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages and even if such damages are foreseeable.
The Provider, its affiliates, licensors, suppliers, subcontractors, employees, shareholders, administrators or representatives, as well as any person involved in the creation, production, supply, or distribution of the Service, also cannot be held liable for any damage, claim, lawsuit, fine, penalty, or other consequence resulting from a modification to the configuration of the Software or its update, the License or the Service, a computer virus, the content of the code or documents related to the Services, the use, validity or quality of the Services, a breakdown of the Internet or the Software, the malfunction of the Services, the transmission of telephone communication outside the hours permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the loss or destruction of data by intrusion or otherwise, or the authorized or unauthorized interception of communications or delays in their transmission or reception.
The Provider assumes no responsibility for the signing of the Snow Removal Contract with the User's customers or for its compliance. The User acknowledges that the Snow Removal Contract is a model suggested by the Provider which must be modified by the User according to their own needs. The Provider reminds the User that this contract may be subject to consumer protection or other applicable laws. Consequently, the User is responsible for consulting legal counsel to adapt the Snow Removal Contract to their legal situation. The User therefore releases the Provider from any liability with regard to the content and tenor of the contract.
The Provider only provides layout and adaptation services to the User's image.
The Provider has implemented physical and technical protections to reinforce security when using the Internet Service and ensures it maintains its internet communication tools up to date to reduce risks, but offers no guarantee to this effect.
If the User is dissatisfied with the Service, any materials, products, or services on the Service, or with any of the Service's terms and conditions, the sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Service and the materials, products, and/or services.
The User acknowledges and agrees that the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in this section constitute an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties, have been reflected in the pricing, and shall continue to apply even upon termination or expiry of this Agreement.

The Service may include links, integrations, or access to third-party services, software, applications, data sources, websites, platforms, content, or tools (collectively, "Third-Party Services") that are not owned, operated, or controlled by the Provider.

The User acknowledges and agrees that:

- Any issues, disputes, or claims arising in connection with Third-Party Services shall be resolved solely between the User and the relevant third party, and the User agrees not to involve the Provider in any such disputes.
The inclusion of any Third-Party Services within the Software does not imply any partnership, joint venture, agency relationship, or other affiliation between the Provider and such third parties. The Provider expressly disclaims all responsibility and liability for the functionality, quality, or content of Third-Party Services, and for any acts or omissions of such third parties.
15. Indemnification
The User agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Provider, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, service providers, and subcontractors (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) arising out of or relating to:

16. Confidentiality
Each Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public, proprietary, or sensitive information disclosed by the other Party in connection with this Agreement, whether communicated orally, in writing, electronically, or otherwise ("Confidential Information"). The User shall use such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement and shall not disclose it to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party.
The User acknowledges that the Service, related documentation, pricing information, system architecture, and any information concerning the Provider's services or operations constitute Confidential Information. The User undertakes to protect such information using the same level of care it uses for its own confidential information, and at a minimum, a commercially reasonable degree of care.
The Provider acknowledges that all data entered, stored, or otherwise processed by the User through the Software—including any data relating to the User's own clients—remains the sole property of the User.

Copies may be made only as technically necessary for the provision of services or for backup purposes.
All data belonging to the User and managed by the Services is and remains the property of the User. The Provider undertakes to keep such data confidential and to refrain from making any copy thereof other than as technically required for backup purposes. The Provider undertakes to refrain from using the data in any way other than for statistical purposes or to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
The User acknowledges and accepts that the Provider collects Service usage data and information on how the User makes use of the Services.

The Provider is committed to protecting personal information and does not disclose such information to third parties without prior consent from the User, except when required by law or court order.
The Provider has implemented physical and technical safeguards to ensure the security of the information collected. However, the User acknowledges that no website, internet transmission, computer system, or wireless connection is completely secure.
The User further agrees not to disclose any software, code, documentation, products, processes, and/or contracts produced by the Provider in any form not circulating freely in the public domain and to take all reasonable measures necessary to maintain their confidentiality.
In the event of a breach of these confidentiality obligations, the User must notify the Provider within 48 hours of becoming aware of said breach.

No general or specific terms contained in any document provided by the User (including purchase orders or other correspondence) shall form part of this Agreement or alter its scope, unless expressly accepted in writing by the Provider. The only exception to this rule is any supplemental order or quotation expressly accepted and confirmed in writing by the Provider.
Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be amended only by a written document signed by duly authorized representatives of both Parties.
19. Amendments
The Provider reserves the right to modify the terms of the present Agreement, the Privacy Policy, or any other component of this Agreement at any time, at its sole discretion. Any such modification shall become effective upon written notice to the User, including by email or through the Software. Continued use of the Software following such notification constitutes the User's acceptance of the amended terms.
20. Cumulative Rights
All rights, remedies, and powers of the Provider under this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of one does not preclude the exercise of any others.
21. Waiver
No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right or remedy or preclude any further or future exercise thereof.
22. Interpretation
Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted fairly and not strictly for or against either Party.
23. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or contrary to law by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
24. Assignment and Transfer
This Agreement binds the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, legal representatives, administrators, and permitted assigns. The User may not assign, transfer, delegate, sub-license, or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Provider. Any unauthorized assignment shall be null and void.
25. Use of Commercial Identity
The Provider may use the User's name, logo, and general reference to its use of the Software for promotional or marketing purposes, including in proposals, presentations, and other commercial materials, unless the User provides written notice objecting to such use.

28. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the Province of Québec, without regard to conflict of law principles. The Parties irrevocably agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including its interpretation, validity, performance, or termination, shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts sitting in the judicial district of Laval or Montreal, Province of Québec. The Parties expressly waive any objection based on lack of jurisdiction or forum non conveniens.
29. Reservation of Rights
All rights not expressly granted to the User under this Agreement are reserved by the Provider.
