This Semmel Hand Hygiene Terms of Service (this “Agreement”) is entered into by Semmel Health Sdn Bhd (“Semmel”) and the entity or person agreeing to it (“Customer or You”) and govern Your access to and use of the Services (the “Service”). THIS AGREEMENT IS EFFECTIVE WHEN CUSTOMER CLICKS THE “I ACCEPT” BUTTON, COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, OR USING THE SERVICE.  If You are an existing Customer who is on a free or trial account, Your  continued use of the Services will constitute the acceptance of the Agreement.  If You do not agree to the terms for the Service, You should discontinue Your use of the Services.
IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING OR CONTINUING USE OF SERVICES ON BEHALF OF CUSTOMER, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE FULL LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND CUSTOMER TO THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU AGREE, ON BEHALF OF CUSTOMER, TO THIS AGREEMENT.
In consideration of the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:

  1. Accounts.
    Customer must have an Account to use the Services.  By creating an Account you automatically start your Free Plan.  Your Free Plan comes with full premium features for the first 60 days.  If you have not switched to a Paid Plan by the end of the first 60 days, your premium features will be deactivated.  You may choose to switch from the Free Plan to any Paid Plan at any time even after the first 60 days.  Once you choose to do so, Semmel will activate the premium features associated with the Paid Plan that you have selected and start to apply the respective subscription fees in accordance with the applicable Paid Plan.
  2. Fees and Service.
    Subject to Section 15, the applicable Services under the Free Plan will be made available to you free of charge until You decide to upgrade to a paid subscription.  Free and Paid plans are published on Semmel website.
    Fees and Trials. You must pay all fees for the Services you purchase, except for Services that we expressly offer free of charge under the Free Plan. If you sign up for a free trial of a paid Service, we will charge You automatically on the first day after the free trial is over, unless You cancel or downgrade to a charge-free service before the end of the free-trial period.
    Semmel reserves the right to change the fees or payment policies.  Changes are effective upon Customer acceptance of those changes which will be posted at www.semmelhealth.com/pricing/. Unless otherwise stated in your invoice, all fees are quoted in United States Dollars. Any outstanding balance becomes immediately due and payable upon termination of this Agreement and any collection expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Semmel will be included in the amount owed.
    Semmel may change its fees for the Service from time to time including removing features and functions under the Free plan.
    ​​All payments for the Paid Plan are due in advance by the first day of the billing period.
  3. Member Account, Password, and Security.
    To register for the Service, You must complete the registration process by providing Semmel with current, complete and accurate information as prompted by the registration form, including Your company email address and password. You will protect Your passwords and take full responsibility for Your own, and other users’, use of Your account. You are solely responsible for any and all activities that occur under Your Account. You will notify Semmel immediately upon learning of any unauthorized use of Your Account or any other breach of security. Semmel’s support staff may, from time to time, log in to the Service under Your or other users’ password in order to maintain or improve service, including to provide assistance with technical issues.

  15. Miscellaneous, Applicable Law and Venue.*
    Semmel will be excused from performance in this Agreement to the extent that performance is prevented, delayed or obstructed by causes beyond its reasonable control. This Agreement (including any amendment agreed upon by the parties in writing) represents the complete agreement between You and Semmel concerning its subject matter, and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between the parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of Malaysia without reference to its conflict of law principles. In the event of any conflicts between foreign law, rules, and regulations, and Malaysia law, rules, and regulations, Malaysia law, rules and regulations will prevail and govern.
