This Free-Trial Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the Service (as defined below), and is an agreement between observIQ (“observIQ,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you or the entity you represent (“you”). This Agreement takes effect when you click an “I Accept,” “Sign up” or similar button or check box presented with these terms or, if earlier, when you access or use the Service (the “Effective Date”). By accepting this Agreement or accessing or using the Service, you agree to be legally bound by this Agreement’s terms. You represent to observIQ that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor). If you are entering into this Agreement for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent that you have legal authority to bind that entity. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in Section 17.

1. Subscription Authorizations. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Policies and Order, observIQ authorizes you to access and use the Service and Documentation solely for your internal, business use, by and through Authorized Users. This authorization is limited, nonexclusive and nontransferable.
2. Free Trial. observIQ will make the Service available to you without charge (whether as part of a free trial, beta release, proof-of-concept implementation or otherwise) until the earlier of (a) the end of the period for which you registered to use the Service without payment, (b) the start date of any Order you enter into to pay for the Service, or (c) termination by observIQ at any time in its sole discretion. Additional free use, trial, beta-release or proof-of-concept terms and conditions may appear on the applicable registration web page or in the applicable Order. Any such additional terms and conditions are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and are legally binding. If you enter an Order to pay for the Service, then your use of the Service will be subject to a separate Master Subscription Agreement. You and your Affiliates will be jointly liable for compliance with the terms of this Agreement and any Order, and you accept full liability as between the Parties for the actions and inactions of your Affiliates.
3. observIQ Tools.
