Terms of Service

Bridgeport is an internet-based data management platform. Since our products are internet based, you may access them through the web and through any number of device types (e.g., desktop, laptop, tablets, and smartphone devices) that you choose. 

This document, the Bridgeport Terms of Service (“Terms”), outlines the terms regarding your use of our products. These Terms are a legally binding contract between you and Bridgeport so please read them carefully. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not register or use any of the Services.

By using, accessing or browsing the Bridgeport Service, platform and products including applications, mobile, software, websites or other properties owned or operated by Bridgeport or by registering for a Bridgeport account (“Services”) you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms for the Services provided by Bridgeport (“Bridgeport” or “we”).

If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and asserting to Bridgeport that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms (in which event, "you" and "your" will refer to that organization) unless that organization has a separate paid contract in effect with us, in which event the terms of that contract will govern your use of the Services.

PRIVACY

In order to operate and provide the Services, we collect certain information about you. We use and protect that information as described in our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy and understand that it identifies how Bridgeport collects, stores, and uses certain information.

CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We reserve the right to modify these Terms. We will post the most current version of these Terms at www.bridgeportft.com (the “Site”). If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you via the Services and/or by email to the address associated with your account. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using and cancel your account by emailing [email protected]. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these Terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms.

YOUR ACCOUNT

Certain aspects of the Services may require you to obtain an account by completing a registration form and designating a user ID and password. When registering with Bridgeport you must: (a) provide true, current and complete information about yourself on the registration form and (b) maintain such information so it continues to be true, current and complete.

You are entirely responsible for all materials and information that you upload, post or otherwise transmit via the Services. Only you may use your Bridgeport account and you are responsible for your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of the Services or your account, or have any questions about your account please contact Bridgeport Support via [email protected].

EMAIL SELECTED FOR YOUR ACCOUNT

You choose what email address(es) you register for an account. Please be aware, however, that if the domain of the email address associated with your account is owned or controlled by an organization (such as your employer) that organization may have access to your account.

CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND SOLICITATION

By registering with Bridgeport or signing up for Services, you understand that we may send you (including via email) information regarding the Services, such as: (a) notices about your use of the Services, including notices of violations of use; (b) updates to the Services and new features or products; and (c) information and materials regarding CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

During your use of the Services, Bridgeport may share with you information that is confidential, sensitive or should not be disclosed. For example, if we tell you about our product roadmaps, product designs and architecture, technology and technical information, provide you with security audit reviews, business and marketing plans, or share with you our business processes, these should always be considered confidential to Bridgeport. Similarly, we agree that your Content, credit card/banking information and information contained in your account is confidential to you. Also, if either of us provide any documents to the other that are labeled “confidential” (or something similar), or provide information (either in writing or verbal) that is of a type that a reasonable person should understand to be confidential such information is to be treated as confidential information.

However, if you provide us information that: (a) we already know at the time you provide it to us; (b) was provided to us by a third party who had the right to do so; (c) is generally available to the public; or (d) was independently developed by us without using any of your confidential information, then that information will not be considered confidential. The same applies to information that we provide you that falls into any of these categories.

Lastly, we both agree that: (i) we will treat each other’s information with the same degree of care that we treat our own confidential information; (ii) will use each other’s confidential information only in connection with these Terms and the Services; (iii) only share the information with others who have a need to know and who have agreed in writing to treat it as confidential (as we’ve outlined in this section); and (iv) not share the information with any third party except as allowed in these Terms or through the Services. Of course, confidential information will always remain the property of its owner.

Bridgeport may offer users to sign-up for a trial for some of the Services and such trial periods start on the day the trial account is created and lasts for 30 days. If an account is a trial account, it may be cancelled at any time until the last day of the trial. If a user does not wish to incur charges, the user must cancel the account by the end of the 30th day.

If the user does not cancel such account and we have informed you the account would be converted to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period, then you authorize us to charge your credit card for that specific Service. You may, however, cancel your subscription before the next billing cycle in accordance with these Terms, but Bridgeport is under no obligation to provide credits or refunds.

FEES

If you choose to subscribe to a paid Service, you agree to pay the fees ("Fees") as quoted to you when you purchase that Service. We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase. You are responsible for all charges related to using the purchased Service (for example, data charges and currency exchange settlements). You will pay the Fees in the currency Bridgeport quoted at the time of purchase. Bridgeport reserves the right to change the eligible currencies at any time.

Bridgeport reserves the right to change its prices at any time, however, if we have offered a specific duration and Fee for your use of the Service, we agree that the Fee will remain in force for that duration. After the offer period ends, your use of the Service will be charged at the then-current Fee(s). If you don't agree to these changes, you must stop using the Service and cancel via email to [email protected]. If you cancel, your Service ends at the end of your current Service period or payment period, and no refunds for previously paid services will be issued.

If you do not cancel in accordance with these Terms, the subscription for the Service will automatically renew at the then-current price and for the same subscription period. We will charge your credit card on file with us on the first day of the renewal of the subscription period.

BILLING/PAYMENT

If you select a paid Service, you must provide us with current, complete, accurate and authorized payment method information (e.g. credit card information). You authorize us to charge your provided payment method for the Services you have selected and for any paid feature(s) that you choose. We may bill: (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; (c) shortly after purchase; or (d) if you have elected a subscription service, on a recurring basis. To the extent Bridgeport has not received your payment, in order to bring your account up to date, we may bill you simultaneously for both past due and current amounts. If you do not cancel your account, we may automatically renew your Service(s) and charge you for any renewal term. You understand that failure to pay any charges or fees may result in the suspension or cancellation of your Services. SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD

An annual subscription plan (“Annual Subscription Plan”). The subscription period for the Annual Subscription Plan will be for one year and will automatically renew each year on the anniversary unless you cancel at least three business days prior to your renewal date.
