CC-Assist End User License Agreement

Last updated: November 15, 2023

This End User License Agreement (EULA) describes our general policies for licensing CC-Assist. To license CC-Assist, users must sign a license agreement contract which contains the specific parameters for the user’s CC-Assist license. CC-Assist users may Contact Us to obtain a copy of their individual license agreement.

Chamber Data Systems, Inc. (Licensor) licenses the Licensee the non-exclusive rights to install and use CC-Assist (the software) in accordance with the terms of their License Agreement (Agreement). Installation of the software at site(s) designated by Licensee constitutes Licensee’s acceptance of the terms of their Agreement.

Scope of Installation and Usage

Licensee’s rights to use of the software are for the initial period of licensed usage and subsequent licensed periods of use each month thereafter, provided Licensee pays the monthly Renewal License Fees, as defined in the “Usage Fees” section of their Agreement. Should Licensee fail to pay any monthly Renewal License Fee when due, Licensee’s rights to use the software shall cease.

During a period of licensed usage, Licensor grants Licensee the right to install, use, and access the software as defined below. The rights to upgrade the software license to be used at more sites, by more users, and/or with more web databases than defined below may be granted to Licensee upon written consent by Licensor and payment by Licensee of the then-current additional web database, site, and/or user fees.

Software Component Details

The Web Database component of the Monthly Renewal License Fee is based on the Licensee’s number of active members. For the purpose of calculating the licensee’s usage fee, active members are typically defined as members listed in the Licensee’s online directory and/or having access to an online account, whichever is greater. If the Licensee chooses not to activate their online directory or member accounts, the number of active members will be based on the members’ dues paying and/or membership status. The minimum threshold of licensed active members is 299. The threshold increases in units of 100 to include the Licensee’s active member count. Each such increase to the threshold increases the Monthly Renewal License Fee by the then-current fee.
License Fees are subject to change without notice.
