User Terms of Service

Last updated: November 1, 2022

These User Terms of Service (the “User Terms”) govern your access and use of Mudstack’s online workspace, storage and collaboration tools and platform, including the Customer Workspace (as defined below)(the “Services”). Please read them carefully. Even though you are signing on to use an existing Account, Workspace and/or Library (collectively, the “Customer Workspace”), these User Terms apply to you as a User of the Services through one or more Customer Workspaces.

These User Terms are a legally binding Agreement between you and us. These User Terms are a supplement to our Customer Terms of Service governing the use of the of the Services by our Customer inviting you to one or more Customer Workspace(s) (the “Customer”) who invites you to access their Customer Workspace(s) (the “Customer Terms”). The Customer Terms govern the use of the Services by the Customer and its Users, including you. The Customer Terms are incorporated herein by reference and shall govern your use of the Services along with these User Terms. You should review the Customer Terms carefully as they are part of these User Terms. Capitalized but undefined terms used in these User Terms have the meaning assigned to those terms in the Customer Terms.

If you access or use the Services, or continue accessing or using the Services after being notified of a change to the Customer Terms of Service, you confirm that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by the User Terms and the Customer Terms of Service. “We”, “our”, “us” and “Mudstack” refers to Mudstack, Inc., the provider of the Services. “You”, “your” and words of similar meaning refer to you as a User of the Services through the Customer’s Account.

1. Customer’s Choices and Instructions

Subject to your acceptance of these User Terms, you will be an authorized User on one or more Customer Workspaces. The Customer may be your employer, an individual or organization, or any other person or organization who invites you to join and use a Customer Workspace. Customer has separately agreed to the Customer Terms of Service and related documentation (the “Agreement”) that permitted Customer to create and configure the Customer Workspace so that you and others could join (each invitee granted access to the Services, including you, is an “Authorized User”). The Agreement contains our commitment to deliver the Services to Customer, who may then invite you, is an “Authorized User”). The Agreement contains our commitment to deliver the Services to Customer, who may then invite Authorized Users to join its workspace(s). When an Authorized User (including, you) submits Data to the Services, you acknowledge and agree that such Data is controlled by the Customer and subject to terms of these User Terms and the Agreement (collectively, “Customer Data”). The Agreement provides Customer with many choices and control over such Data. For example, Customer may provision or deprovision an Authorized User’s access to the Customer Workspace, enable or disable third party integrations, manage permissions, retention and export settings, transfer or assign Customer Workspaces, and/or consolidate or delete entire Customer Workspaces, and these choices and instructions may result in the access, use, disclosure, modification, uploading, downloading, manipulation of, creation of derivate works of, publishing, processing and/or deletion of certain or all Customer Data (including any Data submitted to the Customer Workspace by you or any other Authorized User).
