Welcome to the online, proprietary content management system for synagogues named "ShulCloud™" (the "Service") operated by Shulcloud, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with an address at 1300 6th Avenue Columbus, GA 31901 (“ShulCloud”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). The Service enables the participating synagogue subscriber who has registered with us by affirmatively indicating its agreement to abide by these Terms of Use through its authorized representative (this “Agreement”) by means of a click-through consent or other legally enforceable mechanism ("Subscriber", "you", "your" or "yours") to use the rich functionality and user-friendly features of the Service. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions which govern your use of the Service.

The Service is a suite of web building tools and calendars and event management functionality and billing which enables Subscriber to manage and track various aspects of its synagogue memberships online and to interact with collected data using a variety of dynamic features. For the sake of clarity, a prospective Subscriber using the Service on a trial basis shall also be deemed to be a "Subscriber" for purposes of this Agreement.

1 This Agreement.

1.1 Acceptance. Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing the Service. In order to use the Service, you must first agree to abide by the provisions of this Agreement. Subscriber indicates that Subscriber has read and agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement by means of a click-through consent, where provided by ShulCloud, or otherwise upon commencing use of the Service. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, you are not authorized to use the Service. Furthermore, you are not authorized to use the Service if (a) the person entering into this Agreement on behalf of Subscriber is not of legal age or otherwise does not have the legal capacity to form a binding contract with ShulCloud, or (b) such a person is barred from using the Service either (i) under the laws of the country in which such person resides or from which such a person is attempting to access the Service, or (ii) due to prior violations of this Agreement. For the sake of clarity, if any of Subscriber’s employees, agents or other representatives are agreeing to abide by this Agreement on Subscriber’s behalf, then Subscriber and such employee, agent or other representative each hereby represent and warrant that such employee, agent or other representative is fully authorized to bind Subscriber to this Agreement. Any individual executing this Agreement on behalf of a Subscriber shall be deemed to be the principal administrator of such Subscriber's access to the Service, unless and until ShulCloud receives an instruction to the contrary by an authorized representative of Subscriber.

1.2 Modifications. We reserve the right to modify this Agreement at any time. You agree to review this Agreement periodically to be aware of any such modifications. You further agree that your continued use of the Service after any such modifications have been made shall be deemed to be your conclusive acceptance of any modified version of this Agreement. We will indicate that changes to this Agreement have been made by updating the date indicated after “Last Updated” at the beginning of this Agreement. We will be happy to provide you with prior versions of this Agreement upon your written request to us. If you do not agree to abide by the initial version or any modified version of this Agreement, then you are not authorized to use the Service. The current version of this Agreement is accessible via the footer of the Service’s homepage.

1.3 Your Users. In order to facilitate the user friendly access to the Service that we provide to your synagogue members and other associated persons who utilize the Service and/or whose information is otherwise posted to the Service by Subscriber or a person acting on behalf of Subscriber (each, a "Member" and collectively, "Members") if you enable such a feature, we do not require Members to click through an agreement directly with ShulCloud in order for them to access and use the Service. However, in order to protect ourselves from third party claims arising from or relating to use of the Service by Members or otherwise with Members, we require that you ensure that Members have agreed to certain terms and conditions of using the Service prior to commencing their use of the Service. Thus, you shall (a) post a copy of the (i) ShulCloud terms of use for Members where this has been provided to you by ShulCloud , and (ii) the ShulCloud privacy policy for the Service which can be found at www.shulcloud.com/privacy (the "Privacy Policy"), or via a link on the footer of each page of the Subscriber-branded webpage accessible through the Service, each of such documents in a manner which enables Members to freely view at any time ShulCloud's terms and conditions regarding such Members use of the Service as well as ShulCloud's privacy collection, retention and use policies which affect the information Subscriber and Members provide through the Service, and (b) indemnify ShulCloud from any and all Claims (as hereinafter defined) brought by a Member or Members, or any third party on their behalf, in connection with or related to their use of the Service or their inability to use the Service.

1.4 Payment Processing. Subscriber may sell and collect payments for its products and/or services through use of the Services hereunder.
