Pivott shall report to Customer's support contacts designated in Pivott's customer support portal (“Support Portal”) the accidental or unlawful alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Data (“Breach”) within 24 hours, after Pivott determines that a Breach has occurred, unless restricted by law. Accordingly, Pivott shall share information about the nature and consequences of the Breach that is reasonably requested by Customer to enable it to notify affected individuals, government agencies and/or credit bureaus.

For clarity, such data will not include system generated log files or Pivott specific configuration data. After the Transition Period, Pivott shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data and may thereafter, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data in its systems or otherwise in its possession or under its control.

Any invoice outstanding past 60 days will result in termination of all products and/or services. Please note that check numbers and pictures of checks will not be accepted as proof of payment. To ensure products/services are restored as quickly as possible, we recommend mailing checks through an express courier service or submitting payment through our credit card system or through ACH/Direct Deposit.
If over 50% of the portfolio is past 120 days overdue, please note that all products and/or services and further onboardings will be suspended until all outstanding payments for all outstanding communities have been received.
All overpayments will be added to the appropriate account as a credit. Credits may be applied to any open or upcoming invoices as needed at no charge. Refunds are only processed when requested by the client and are subject to an automatic $25 processing fee. No refunds will be issued for amounts below $35 unless the Company is solely at fault. For canceled properties, credits shall be applied in the following order:
- Outstanding invoices for the same property;
- Future invoices for the same property;
- Outstanding invoices for other properties of the same owner;
- Outstanding invoices for canceled subscriptions within the same management company.
- Unclaimed credits shall expire after 12 months.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, sent by registered mail or courier, or transmitted by email to the respective addresses provided by the Parties. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been received: (i) if delivered personally, on the date of delivery; (ii) if sent by registered mail or courier, on the fifth (5th) business day after the date of posting or dispatch; or (iii) if transmitted by email, on the next business day following the date of transmission, provided that no notice of non-receipt is received by the sender.

Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools and Third-Party Services
You acknowledge and agree that we may utilize artificial intelligence technologies to process, analyze, or otherwise handle data that you provide to us (including any content you upload, transmit, or store through our services). By using our services, you explicitly grant us the right to submit, transfer, and make available your data to such third-party AI tools and platforms for the purpose of providing and improving our services. This may involve transmitting and processing your data on servers and systems not operated by us. We make reasonable efforts to engage reputable third-party AI providers; however, we cannot guarantee the security or privacy practices of these third parties. You acknowledge and accept that your data may be subject to the terms, policies, and practices of these third-party providers, and you consent to any associated risks. If you do not agree to these terms, please refrain from using our services.
Third Party Collection
Based on the third party product used, we may collect the following information: chat conversations, with phone or video recordings. Information may also be collected by use of screen/interaction/event logging and recordings. Email may pass through intermediaries. Database visualization tools may be used to generate reports and email digests. Billing services will be used to generate invoices and process payments. We may also use third-party services that collect, monitor, and analyze our website traffic and overall online marketing efforts. Automation services may be used as an intermediary to send and receive data between our first and third-party systems. The information collected by screen recordings may include the name of user's internet service provider, the website from which user visited us from, the parts of our website or software the user is visiting/using including tracking of cursor movements, the date and duration of user's visit, and information from the device (device type, operating system, screen resolution, language, country user is located in, and web browser type).
Force Majeure
No party shall be liable or responsible to the other party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the affected party's reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”). The party suffering a Force Majeure Event shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate against the effects of such Force Majeure Event. For the avoidance of doubt, a Force Majeure Event does not limit Customer's obligations to pay fees duly owed to Pivott. If the effects of the Force Majeure Event continue unmitigated for a period of 30 consecutive days, then either party may terminate this Agreement and/or any Order Form, upon written notice to the other party, and Pivott, as its sole liability, shall refund any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term of the affected subscription after the effective date of termination.
