I. COVERAGE TERMS
These General Terms and Conditions will apply to all Coverage Sections of this Policy, unless stated to the contrary in any
Coverage Section. The terms and conditions of each Coverage Section will apply only to that Coverage Section. If any provision
in these General Terms and Conditions is inconsistent with or conflicts with the terms and conditions of any Coverage Section,
the terms and conditions of such Coverage Section will control for purposes of determining coverage under that Coverage
Section.
Any defined term in these General Terms and Conditions which is also defined in a Coverage Section, will, for purposes of
determining coverage under that Coverage Section, have the meaning set forth in that Coverage Section.

1. Insured Entity includes:
(a) the Named Insured;
(b) any Subsidiary which exists as of the Effective Date of this Policy;
(c) any management company of the Named Insured, but only with respect to their duties as the management
company of the Named Insured and only if a management agreement between the management company and the
Named Insured is executed and effective prior to the date that the events or incidents underlying or alleged in the
Claim took place; and
(d) any other entity or organization specified in an Endorsement to this Policy as an Insured Entity.
2. Insured Person includes any past, present or future individual who is a:

company, which are submitted to the Insurer in connection with the application and underwriting process for this
Policy, or any prior policy of which this is a renewal; and

(b) Additional Insureds as described in Section IV.A. of these General Terms and Conditions;
(c) Claims that are made;
(d) Persons or organizations making Claims; or

D. NON-STACKING OF LIMITS
1. Between Coverage Sections
In the event that more than one Coverage Section of this Policy could apply to the same Claim or series of related

Wrongful Act Limit of Liability and the respective Deductible of one Coverage Section shall apply, which shall be
determined in good faith by the Insurer, taking into consideration the predominant allegations in the Claim, the facts
and circumstances underlying the Claim, and the respective interests of the parties to this Policy.

any applicable coverage or Coverage Section has a dedicated Limit of Liability as specified in an Endorsement to this
Policy or otherwise.
2. With Other Policies Issued by the Insurer
If any Loss, including Defense Expenses if applicable, from any Claim that is covered by this Policy, are also covered by
another policy issued by the Insurer or any affiliate thereof to any Insured or Additional Insured, the maximum limit of
liability payable under both policies for such Loss, and Defense Expenses if applicable, will not exceed the largest single
Each Claim, Each Occurrence or Each Wrongful Act Limit of Liability available under either policy, and the corresponding

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS These Terms and Conditions govern your
("Subscriber" or "you") use of DocuSign's on-demand electronic signature service (the
"Subscription Service"), as accessed either directly through DocuSign.com, DocuSign.net, or
through a DocuSign affiliate’s web page offering a Service Plan (collectively, the "Site"). By
depositing any document into the System (as defined below), you accept these Terms and
Conditions (including your corresponding Service Plan, the DocuSign.com Terms of Use, and all
policies and guidelines referenced and hereby incorporated into these Terms and Conditions) and
any modifications that may be made to the Terms and Conditions from time to time. If you do
not agree to these Terms and Conditions, you should not use the Subscription Service or visit or
browse the Site. These Terms and Conditions constitute a binding legal agreement between you
and DocuSign, Inc. ("DocuSign," "we," "us," and "our"). Please read them carefully and print a
copy for your future reference. 2. MODIFICATION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS We
reserve the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time and in any manner at our sole
discretion by: (a) posting a revision on the Site; or (b) sending information regarding the
amendment to the email address you provide to us. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
REGULARLY REVIEWING THE SITE TO OBTAIN TIMELY NOTICE OF ANY
AMENDMENTS. YOU SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED SUCH
AMENDMENTS BY CONTINUING TO USE THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE FOR MORE
THAN 20 DAYS AFTER SUCH AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN POSTED OR
INFORMATION REGARDING SUCH AMENDMENTS HAS BEEN SENT TO YOU. You
agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification of the Terms
and Conditions. 3. DEFINITIONS “Account� means a unique account established by
Subscriber to enable its Authorized Users to access and use the Subscription Service.
“Authorized User� means any employee or agent of Subscriber, identified by a unique
email address and user name, who is registered under the Account, provided that no two persons
may register, access or use the Subscription Service as the same Authorized User.
“eContract� refers to a contract, notice, disclosure, or other record or document deposited
into the System by Subscriber for processing using the Subscription Service. “Envelope�
means an electronic record containing one or more eContracts consisting of a single page or a
group of pages of data uploaded to the System. “Seat� means an active Authorized User
listed in the membership of an Account at any one time. No two individuals may log onto or use
the Subscription Service as the same Authorized User, but Subscriber may unregister or
deactivate Authorized Users and replace them with other Authorized Users without penalty, so
long as the number of active Authorized Users registered at any one time is equal to or less than
the number of Seats purchased. “Service Plan� means the right to access and use the
Subscription Service for a specified period in exchange for a periodic fee, subject to the Service
Plan restrictions and requirements that are used to describe the selected Service Plan on the Site.
Restrictions and requirements may include any or all of the following: (a) number of Seats
and/or Envelopes that a Subscriber may use in a month or year for a fee; (b) fee for sent
Envelopes in excess of the number of Envelopes allocated to Subscriber under the Service Plan;
(c) per-seat or per-user restrictions; (d) the license to use DocuSign software products such as
DocuSign Connect Express in connection with the Subscription Service; and (e) per use fees.
“Specifications� means the technical specifications set forth in the “Subscription Service
Specifications� available at http://docusign.com/company/specifications. “Subscription
Service� means DocuSign’s on-demand electronic signature service, as updated from time
to time, which provides on-line display, certified delivery, acknowledgement, electronic
signature, and storage services for eContracts via the Internet. “System� refers to the
software systems and programs, communication and network facilities, and hardware and
equipment used by DocuSign or its agents to provide the Subscription Service. “Term�
means the period of effectiveness of these Terms and Conditions, as specified in Section 12
below. “Transaction Data� means the metadata associated with an Envelope (such as
transaction history, image hash value, method and time of Envelope deletion, sender and
recipient names, email addresses and signature IDs) and maintained by DocuSign in order to
establish the digital audit trail required by the Subscription Service. 4. SUBSCRIPTION
SERVICE During the term of the Service Plan and subject to these Terms and Conditions,
Subscriber will have the right to obtain an Account and register its Authorized Users, who may
access and use the Subscription Service, and DocuSign will provide the Subscription Service in
material conformance with the Specifications. You must be 18 years of age or older to register
for an Account and use the Subscription Service. Subscriber's right to use the Subscription
Service is limited to its Authorized Users, and Subscriber agrees not to resell or otherwise
provide or assist with the provision of the Subscription Service to any third party. In addition,
DocuSign’s provision of the Subscription Service is conditioned on Subscriber's
acknowledgement and agreement to the following: (a) The Subscription Service facilitates the
execution of eContracts between the parties to those eContracts. Nothing in these Terms and
Conditions may be construed to make DocuSign a party to any eContract processed through the
Subscription Service, and DocuSign makes no representation or warranty regarding the
transactions sought to be effected by any eContract; (b) Between DocuSign and Subscriber,
Subscriber has exclusive control over and responsibility for the content, quality, and format of
any eContract. All eContracts stored by DocuSign are maintained in an encrypted form, and
DocuSign has no control of or access to their contents; (c) If Subscriber elects to use one or more
of the optional features designed to verify the identity of the intended recipient of an eContract
that DocuSign makes available to its subscribers (“Authentication Measures�), DocuSign
will apply only those Authentication Measures selected by the Subscriber, but makes no
representations or warranties about the appropriateness of any Authentication Measure. Further,
DocuSign assumes no liability for: (A) the inability or failure by the intended recipient or other
party to satisfy the Authentication Measure; or (B) the circumvention by any person (other than
DocuSign) of any Authentication Measure; (d) Certain types of agreements and documents may
be excepted from electronic signature laws (e.g. wills and agreements pertaining to family law),
or may be subject to specific regulations promulgated by various government agencies regarding
electronic signatures and electronic records. DocuSign is not responsible or liable to determine
whether any particular eContract is subject to an exception to applicable electronic signature
laws, or whether it is subject to any particular agency promulgations, or whether it can be legally
formed by electronic signatures; (e) DocuSign is not responsible for determining how long any
d to be retained or stored under any applicable laws, regulations, or legal or administrative
agency processes. Further, DocuSign is not responsible for or liable to produce any of
Subscriber’s eContracts or other documents to any third parties; (f) Certain consumer
protection or similar laws or regulations may impose special requirements with respect to
electronic transactions involving one or more “consumers,� such as (among others)
requirements that the consumer consent to the method of contracting and/or that the consumer be
provided with a copy, or access to a copy, of a paper or other non-electronic, written record of
the transaction. DocuSign does not and is not responsible to: (A) determine whether any
particular transaction involves a “consumer;� (B) furnish or obtain any such consents or
determine if any such consents have been withdrawn; (C) provide any information or disclosures
in connection with any attempt to obtain any such consents; (D) provide legal review of, or
update or correct any information or disclosures currently or previously given; (E) provide any
such copies or access, except as expressly provided in the Specifications for all transactions,
consumer or otherwise; or (F) otherwise to comply with any such special requirements; and (g)
Subscriber undertakes to determine whether any “consumer� is involved in any eContract
presented by Subscriber or its Authorized Users for processing, and, if so, to comply with all
requirements imposed by law on such eContracts or their formation. (h) If the domain of the
primary email address associated with the Account is owned by an organization and was
assigned to Subscriber as an employee, contractor or member of such organization, and that
organization wishes to establish a commercial relationship with DocuSign and add the Account
to such relationship, then, if Subscriber does not change the email address associated with the
Account, the Account may become subject to the commercial relationship between DocuSign
and such organization and controlled by such organization. 5. RESPONSIBILITY FOR
CONTENT OF COMMUNICATIONS As between Subscriber and DocuSign, Subscriber is
solely responsible for the nature and content of all materials, works, data, statements, and other
visual, graphical, video, and written or audible communications submitted by any Authorized
User or otherwise processed through its Account, the Subscription Service, or under any Service
Plan. Accordingly: (a) Subscriber will not use or permit the use of the Subscription Service to
send unsolicited mass mailings outside its organization. The term “unsolicited mass
mailings� includes all statutory or common definitions or understanding of those terms in the
applicable jurisdiction, such as those set forth for “Commercial Electronic Mail Messages�
under the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act, as an example only; and (b) Subscriber will not use or permit
the use of the Subscription Service: (i) to communicate any message or material that is
defamatory, harassing, libelous, threatening, or obscene; (ii) in a way that violates or infringes
upon the intellectual property rights or the privacy or publicity rights of any person or entity or
that may otherwise be unlawful or give rise to civil or criminal liability (other than contractual
liability of the parties under eContracts processed through the Subscription Service); (iii) in any
manner that is likely to damage, disable, overburden, or impair the System or the Subscription
Service or interfere with the use or enjoyment of the Subscription Service by others; or (iv) in
any way that constitutes or encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense.
DocuSign does not monitor the content processed through the Subscription Service, but in
accordance with DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) safe harbors, it may suspend any
use of the Subscription Service, or remove or disable any content that DocuSign reasonably and
in good faith believes violates this Agreement or applicable laws or regulations. DocuSign will
use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Subscriber prior to any such suspension or
disablement, unless DocuSign reasonably believes that: (A) it is prohibited from doing so under
applicable law or under legal process, such as court or government administrative agency
processes, orders, mandates, and the like; or (B) it is necessary to delay notice in order to prevent
imminent harm to the System, Subscription Service, or a third party. Under circumstances where
notice is delayed, DocuSign will provide the notice if and when the related restrictions in the
previous sentence no longer apply. 6. PRICING AND PER USE PURCHASES The prices,
features, and options of the Subscription Service available for an Account depend on the Service
Plan selected by Subscriber. Subscriber may also purchase optional services on a periodic or
per-use basis. DocuSign may add or change the prices, features or options available with a
Service Plan without notice. Subscriber's usage under a Service Plan is measured based on the
actual number of Seats as described in the Service Plan on the Site. Once a per-Seat Service Plan
is established, the right of the named Authorized User to access and use the Subscription Service
is not transferable; any additional or differently named Authorized Users must purchase per-Seat
Service Plans to send Envelopes. Extra seats, users and/or per use fees will be charged as set
forth in Subscriber's Service Plan if allowed by such Service Plan. If a Services Plan defines a
monthly Envelope Allowance (i.e. # Envelopes per month allowed to be sent), all Envelopes sent
in excess of the Envelope Allowance will incur a per-Envelope charge. Any unused Envelope
Allowances will expire and not carry over from one billing period to another under a Service
Plan. Subscriber’s Account will be deemed to have consumed an Envelope at the time the
Envelope is sent by Subscriber, regardless of whether Envelopes were received by recipients, or
whether recipients have performed any actions upon any eContract in the Envelope. Powerforms
are considered Envelopes within an Envelope Allowance Service Plan, and will be deemed
consumed at the time they are “clicked� by any end user regardless of whether or not any
actions are subsequently performed upon such Envelope. For Service Plans that specify the
Envelope Allowance is “Unlimited,� Subscriber is allowed to send a reasonable number of
Envelopes from the number of Seats purchased. If DocuSign suspects that the number of
Envelopes sent from a particular Seat or a group of Seats is abusive and/or unduly burdensome,
DocuSign will promptly notify Subscriber, discuss the use-case scenario with Subscriber and any
continued monitoring, additional discussions and/or information required to make a final
determination on the course of action based on such information. In the event Subscriber
exceeds, in DocuSign’s sole discretion, reasonable use restrictions under a Service Plan,
DocuSign reserves the right to transfer Subscriber into a higher-tier Service Plan without notice.
If you misrepresent your eligibility for any Service Plan, you agree to pay us the additional
amount you would have been charged under the most favorable pricing structure for which you
are eligible. DocuSign may discontinue a Service Plan at any time, and with prior notice to you,
may migrate your Account to a similar Service Plan that may carry a different fee. You agree to
allow us to charge your credit card for the fees associated with a substitute Service Plan, even if
those fees are higher than those you agreed to when you registered your Account. Optional
asures, are measured at the time of use, and such charges are specific to the number of units of
the service(s) used during the billing period. Optional services subject to periodic charges, such
as additional secure storage, are charged on the same periodic basis as the Service Plan fees for
the Subscription Service. 7. SUBSCRIBER SUPPORT DocuSign will provide Subscriber
support to Subscriber as specified in the Service Plan selected by Subscriber, and that is further
detailed on DocuSign’s website. 8. STORAGE DocuSign will store eContracts per the terms
of the Service Plan selected by Subscriber. For Service Plans that specify the Envelope storage
amount is “Unlimited,� DocuSign will store an amount of Envelopes that is not abusive
and/or unduly burdensome, in DocuSign’s sole discretion. Subscriber may retrieve and store
copies of eContracts for storage outside of the System at any time during the Term of the Service
Plan when Subscriber is in good financial standing under these Terms and Conditions, and may
delete or purge eContracts from the System at its own discretion. DocuSign may, at its sole
discretion, delete an uncompleted eContract from the System immediately and without notice
upon earlier of: (i) expiration of the Envelope (where Subscriber has established an expiration
for such Envelope, not to exceed 365 days); or (ii) expiration of the Term. DocuSign assumes no
liability or responsibility for a party's failure or inability to electronically sign any eContract
within such a period of time. DocuSign may retain Transaction Data for as long as it has a
business purpose to do so. 9. BUSINESS AGREEMENT BENEFITS You may receive or be
eligible for certain pricing structures, discounts, features, promotions, and other benefits
(collectively, "Benefits") through a business or government Subscriber's agreement with us (a
"Business Agreement"). Any and all such Benefits are provided to you solely as a result of the
corresponding Business Agreement and such Benefits may be modified or terminated without
notice. If you use the Subscription Service where a business or government entity pays your
charges or is otherwise liable for the charges, you authorize us to share your account information
with that entity and/or its authorized agents. If you are enrolled in a Service Plan or receive
certain Benefits tied to a Business Agreement with us, but you are liable for your own charges,
then you authorize us to share enough account information with that entity and its authorized
agents to verify your continuing eligibility for those Benefits and the Service Plan. 10. FEES
AND PAYMENT TERMS The Service Plan rates, charges, and other conditions for use are set
forth in the Site. Subscriber will pay DocuSign the applicable charges for the Services Plan as set
forth on the Site. If you add more Authorized Users than the number of Seats you purchased, we
will add those Authorized Users to your Account and impose additional charges for such
additional Seats on an ongoing basis. Charges for pre-paid Service Plans will be billed to
Subscriber in advance. Charges for per use purchases and standard Service Plan charges will be
billed in arrears. When you register for an Account, you will be required to provide DocuSign
with accurate, complete, and current credit card information for a valid credit card that you are
authorized to use. You must promptly notify us of any change in your invoicing address or
changes related to the credit card used for payment. By completing your registration for the
Services Plan, you authorize DocuSign or its agent to bill your credit card the applicable Service
Plan charges, any and all applicable taxes, and any other charges you may incur in connection
with your use of the Subscription Service, all of which will be charged to your credit card. Each
time you use the Subscription Service, or allow or cause the Subscription Service to be used, you
reaffirm that we are authorized to charge your credit card. You may terminate your Account and
revoke your credit card authorization as set forth in the Term and Termination section of these
Terms and Conditions. We will provide you with one invoice in a format we choose, which may
change from time to time, for all Subscription Service associated with each Account and any
charges of a third party on whose behalf we bill. Payment of all charges is due and will be
charged to your credit card upon your receipt of an invoice. Billing cycle end dates may change
from time to time. When a billing cycle covers less than or more than a full month, we may make
reasonable adjustments and/or prorations. If your Account is a qualified business account and is
approved by us in writing for corporate billing, charges will be accumulated, identified by
Account identification number, and invoiced on a monthly basis. You agree that we may (at our
option) accumulate charges incurred during your monthly billing cycle and submit them as one
or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each cycle, and that we may delay obtaining
authorization from your credit card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s). This
means that accumulated charges may appear on the statement you receive from your credit card
issuer. If DocuSign does not receive payment from your credit card provider, you agree to pay
all amounts due upon demand. DocuSign reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that
it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. Your credit card issuer's
agreement governs your use of your credit card in connection with the Subscription Service, and
you must refer to such agreement (not these Terms and Conditions) with respect to your rights
and liabilities as a cardholder. You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your
credit card by the issuer, bank, or financial institution including, but not limited to, membership,
overdraft, insufficient funds, and over the credit limit fees. You agree to notify us about any
billing problems or discrepancies within 20 days after they first appear on your invoice. If you do
not bring them to our attention within 20 days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute
such problems or discrepancies. We may modify the price, content, or nature of the Subscription
Service and/or your Service Plan at any time. If we modify any of the foregoing terms, you may
cancel your use of the Subscription Service. We may provide notice of any such changes by
e-mail, notice to you upon log-in, or by publishing them on the Site. Your payment obligations
survive any termination of your use of the Subscription Service before the end of the billing
cycle. Any amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to 1.5% of the
unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable usury law, whichever is
less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. Subscriber will
reimburse any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred by DocuSign to collect any amount that is not paid when due. DocuSign may accept any
check or payment in any amount without prejudice to DocuSign’s right to recover the
balance of the amount due or to pursue any other right or remedy. Amounts due to DocuSign
under these Terms and Conditions may not be withheld or offset by Subscriber for any reason
against amounts due or asserted to be due to Subscriber from DocuSign. Unless otherwise noted
and Conditions are denominated in United States dollars, and Subscriber will pay all such
amounts in United States dollars. Other than federal and state net income taxes imposed on
DocuSign by the United States, Subscriber will bear all taxes, duties, VAT and other
governmental charges (collectively, “taxes�) resulting from these Terms and Conditions or
transactions conducted in relation to these Terms and Conditions. Subscriber will pay any
additional taxes as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received and retained by
DocuSign after all such taxes are paid are equal to the amounts that DocuSign would have been
entitled to in accordance with these Terms and Conditions as if the taxes did not exist. 11.
DEPOSITS, SERVICE LIMITS, CREDIT REPORTS, AND RETURN OF BALANCES You
authorize us to ask consumer reporting agencies or trade references to furnish us with
employment and credit information, and you consent to our rechecking and reporting personal
and/or business payment and credit history if, in our sole discretion, we so choose. If you believe
that we have reported inaccurate information about your account to a consumer reporting
agency, you may send a written notice describing the specific inaccuracy to the address provided
in the Notices section below. For you to use the Subscription Service, we may require a deposit
or set a service limit. The deposit will be held as a partial guarantee of payment. It cannot be
used by you to pay your invoice or delayed payment. Unless otherwise required by law, deposits
may be mixed with other funds and will not earn interest. We reserve the right to increase your
deposit if we deem appropriate. You may request that we reevaluate your deposit on an annual
basis, which may result in a partial or total refund of the deposit to you or credit to your account.
If you default or these Terms and Conditions are terminated, we may, without notice to you,
apply any deposit towards payment of any amounts you owe to us. After approximately 90 days
following termination of these Terms and Conditions, any remaining deposit or other credit
balance in excess of amounts owed will be returned without interest, unless otherwise required
by law, to you at your last known address. You agree that any amounts under $15 will not be
refunded to cover our costs of closing your account. If the deposit balance is undeliverable and
returned to us, we will hold it for you for one year from the date of return and, during that period,
we may charge a service fee against the deposit balance. You hereby grant us a security interest
in any deposit we require to secure the performance of your obligations under these Terms and
Conditions. 12. TERM AND TERMINATION The term of these Terms and Conditions for each
Account begins on the date you register for an Account and continues for the term specified by
the Service Plan you purchase (the “Term�). You may terminate your Account at any time
upon 10 days advance written notice to DocuSign following the Notice procedures set forth in
these Terms and Conditions. Unless you terminate your Account or you set your Account to not
auto renew, your Service Plan will automatically renew at the end of its Term (each a
“Renewal Term�), and you authorize us (without notice) to collect the then-applicable fee
and any taxes for the renewed Service Plan, using any credit card we have on record for you.
Service Plan fees and features may change over time. Your Service Plan for a Renewal Term
will be the one we choose as being closest to your Service Plan from the prior Term. For any
termination (including when you switch your Account), you will be responsible for payment of
all fees and charges through the end of the billing cycle in which termination occurs. If you
terminate your annual Service Plan Account within the first 30 days of the Term, you may
submit written request to DocuSign following the Notice procedures set forth in these Terms and
Conditions, for a full refund of the prepaid fees paid by you to DocuSign. You will be limited to
one refund. You agree that termination of an annual Service Plan after the first 30 days will not
entitle you to any refund of prepaid fees. You will be in default of these Terms and Conditions if
you: (a) fail to pay any amount owed to us or an affiliate of ours or any amount appearing on
your invoice; (b) have amounts still owing to us or an affiliate of ours from a prior account; (c)
breach any provision of these Terms and Conditions; (d) violate any policy applicable to the
Subscription Service; (e) are subject to any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or similar
laws; or (f) if, in our sole discretion, we believe that your continued use of the Subscription
Service presents a threat to the security of other users of the Subscription Service. If you are in
default, we may, without notice to you, suspend your Account and use of the Subscription
Service, withhold refunds and terminate your Account, in addition to all other remedies available
to us. We may require reactivation charges to reactivate your Account after termination or
suspension. The following provisions will survive the termination of these Terms and Conditions
and your Account: Sections 3, 9-11, and 15-23. 13. SUBSCRIBER WARRANTIES You hereby
represent and warrant to DocuSign that: (a) you have all requisite rights and authority to use the
Subscription Service under these Terms and Conditions and to grant all applicable rights herein;
(b) the performance of your obligations under these Terms and Conditions will not violate,
conflict with, or result in a default under any other agreement, including confidentiality
agreements between you and third parties; (c) you will use the Subscription Service for lawful
purposes only and subject to these Terms and Conditions; (d) you are responsible for all use of
the Subscription Service in your Account; (e) you are solely responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your Account names and password(s); (f) you agree to immediately notify us
of any unauthorized use of your Account of which you become aware; (g) you agree that
DocuSign will not be liable for any losses incurred as a result of a third party's use of your
Account, regardless of whether such use is with or without your knowledge and consent; (h) you
will not use the Subscription Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden or
impair the System, or interfere with another's use of the Subscription Service by others; (i) any
information submitted to DocuSign by you is true, accurate, and correct; and (j) you will not
attempt to gain unauthorized access to the System or the Subscription Service, other accounts,
computer systems, or networks under the control or responsibility of DocuSign through hacking,
cracking, password mining, or any other unauthorized means. 14. DOCUSIGN WARRANTIES
DocuSign represents and warrants that: (a) the Subscription Service as delivered to Subscriber
and used in accordance with the Specifications will not infringe on any United States patent,
copyright or trade secret; (b) the Subscription Service will be performed in accordance with the
Specifications in their then-current form at the time of the provision of such Subscription
Service; (c) any DocuSign Products that are software shall be free of harmful or illicit code,
trapdoors, viruses, or other harmful features; (d) the proper use of the Subscription Service by
Subscriber in accordance with the Specifications and applicable law in the formation of an
eContract not involving any consumer will be sufficient under the Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 7001 et seq. (the “ESIGN Act�) to
ESIGN Act; (e) the proper use of the Subscription Service by Subscriber in accordance with the
Specifications and applicable law in the formation of an eContract involving a consumer will be
sufficient under the ESIGN Act to support the validity of such formation, to the extent provided
in the ESIGN Act, so long as and provided that Subscriber complies with all special
requirements for consumer eContracts, including and subject to those referenced in Section 4.(f)
and (g) above; and (f) DocuSign has implemented information security policies and safeguards
to preserve the security, integrity, and confidentiality of eContracts and to protect against
unauthorized access and anticipated threats or hazards thereto, that meet the objectives of the
Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Subscriber Information as set
forth in Section 501 (b) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. 15. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED
IN SECTION 14 OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE
AND THE SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,� AND DOCUSIGN: (a) MAKES NO
ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHETHER
EXPRESS, IMPLIED (EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW), OR STATUTORY,
AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER; (b) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
QUALITY, ACCURACY, AND TITLE; AND (c) DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE
SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE OR SITE ARE OR WILL BE ERROR-FREE, WILL MEET
SUBSCRIBER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR BE TIMELY OR SECURE. SUBSCRIBER
WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE USE OF
THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE OR SITE. SUBSCRIBER WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT
TO MAKE OR PASS ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ON BEHALF OF
DOCUSIGN TO ANY THIRD PARTY. USE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE AND SITE
ARE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. Because some states and jurisdictions do not allow limitations on
implied warranties, the above limitation may not apply to you. In that event, such warranties are
limited to the minimum warranty period allowed by the applicable law. 16. SUBSCRIBER
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS You will defend, indemnify, and hold us, our affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, suppliers, consultants, and agents harmless from any and all third
party claims, liability, damages, and costs (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees) arising
from or related to: (a) your use of the Subscription Service; (b) your violation of these Terms and
Conditions; (c) your infringement, or infringement by any other user of your Account, of any
intellectual property or other right of any person or entity; or (d) the nature and content of all
materials, works, data, statements, and other visual, graphical, written, or audible
communications of any nature submitted by any Authorized User of your Account or otherwise
processed through your Account. 17. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY NOTWITHSTANDING
ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS,
DOCUSIGN WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO SUBSCRIBER
FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST
PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH
DAMAGES OCCURRING. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL DOCUSIGN'S TOTAL
LIABILITY OF ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OR SUBSCRIBER’S USE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE
FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE
TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY SUBSCRIBER TO DOCUSIGN UNDER THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS DURING THE 3 MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE ACTION OR
CLAIM. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT PROVIDES
FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION
OF DAMAGES REPRESENTS AN AGREED ALLOCATION OF THE RISKS OF THESE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS
REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY DOCUSIGN TO SUBSCRIBER AND IS AN
ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER
PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND EACH OF THESE
PROVISIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE WARRANTIES IN THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS HAVE FAILED OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Because some states and
jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability in certain instances, portions of the above
limitation may not apply to you. 18. CONFIDENTIALITY “Confidential Information�
means any trade secrets or other information of DocuSign, whether of a technical, business, or
other nature (including, without limitation, DocuSign software and related information), that is
disclosed to or made available to Subscriber. Confidential Information does not include any
information that: (a) was known to Subscriber prior to receiving it from DocuSign; (b) is
independently developed by Subscriber without use of or reference to any Confidential
Information; (c) is acquired by Subscriber from another source without restriction as to use or
disclosure; or (d) is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault or action of
Subscriber. During and after the Term of these Terms and Conditions, Subscriber will: (i) use the
Confidential Information solely for the purpose for which it is provided; (ii) not disclose such
Confidential Information to a third party; and (iii) protect such Confidential Information from
unauthorized use and disclosure to the same extent (but using no less than a reasonable degree of
care) that it protects its own Confidential Information of a similar nature. If Subscriber is
required by law to disclose the Confidential Information or the terms of these Terms and
Conditions, Subscriber must give prompt written notice of such requirement before such
disclosure and assist the DocuSign in obtaining an order protecting the Confidential Information
from public disclosure. Subscriber acknowledges that, as between the parties, all Confidential
Information it receives from DocuSign, including all copies thereof in Subscriber's possession or
control, in any media, is proprietary to and exclusively owned by DocuSign. Nothing in these
Terms and Conditions grants Subscriber any right, title, or interest in or to any of the
Confidential Information. Subscriber's incorporation of the Confidential Information into any of
its own materials shall not render Confidential Information non-confidential. Subscriber
acknowledges that any actual or threatened violation of this confidentiality provision may cause
irreparable, non-monetary injury to the disclosing party, the extent of which may be difficult to
ascertain, and therefore agrees that DocuSign shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in
addition to all remedies available to DocuSign at law and/or in equity. Absent written consent of
DocuSign, the burden of proving that the Confidential Information is not, or is no longer,
confidential or a trade secret shall be on Subscriber. 19. PRIVACY Personal information

any government in the jurisdiction where Subscriber intends to use the Subscription Service.

software requirements. These requirements are set forth in the Specifications. DocuSign will be
and act as an independent contractor (and not as the agent or representative of Subscriber) in the

or construed as: (a) creating or evidencing any association, joint venture, partnership, or

any way without DocuSign’s prior authorization. Subscriber may not assign its rights, duties,
or obligations under these Terms and Conditions without DocuSign’s prior written consent.
If consent is given, these Terms and Conditions will bind Subscriber’s successors and
assigns. Any attempt by Subscriber to transfer its rights, duties, or obligations under these Terms
and Conditions except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions is void. DocuSign
may freely assign its rights, duties, and obligations under these Terms and Conditions. DocuSign
may utilize a subcontractor or other third party to perform its duties under these Terms and
Conditions so long as: (a) DocuSign shall not be relieved of any responsibilities or obligations
under these Terms and Conditions that are performed by the subcontractor or third party; and (b)
DocuSign shall remain Subscriber’s sole point of contact and sole contracting party. We may
provide, or third parties may provide, links to other Web sites or resources that are beyond our
control. We make no representations as to the quality, suitability, functionality, or legality of any
sites to which links may be provided, and you hereby waive any claim you might have against us
with respect to such sites. DOCUSIGN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT ON
THE INTERNET OR WEB PAGES THAT ARE CONTAINED OUTSIDE THE SITE. Your
correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers or
partners found on or through the Site, including payment and delivery of related goods or
services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such
dealings, are solely between you and such advertiser or partner. You agree that we are not
responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such
dealings or as the result of the presence of such advertisers or partners on the Site. Any notice
required or permitted to be given in accordance with these Terms and Conditions will be
effective if it is in writing and sent using the certified delivery function of the Subscription
Service, by email, certified or registered mail, or insured courier, return receipt requested, to the
appropriate party at the address set forth in Subscriber's registration information for Subscriber
or on the Site for DocuSign. Either party may change its address for receipt of notice by notice to
the other party in accordance with this Section. Notices are deemed given upon receipt if
delivered using the Subscription Service or email, two business days following the date of
mailing, or one business day following delivery to a courier. Written notification to terminate an
Account shall be sent by email to [email protected] from the Subscriber’s email
address set forth in Subscriber's registration information for Subscriber, or by calling
1.866.219.4318. Neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default
ns on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms and Conditions as a
result of any cause or condition beyond such party’s reasonable control, so long as such
party uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of
non-performance or delay. These Terms and Conditions are governed in all respects by the laws
of the State of Washington as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be
performed entirely within Washington between Washington residents. Any controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions, the Hosted Service, or the Site will be
settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the
American Arbitration Association. Any such controversy or claim shall be arbitrated on an
individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of
any other party. The arbitration will be conducted in King County, Washington, and judgment on
the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof. The award of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as
permitted by Washington law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek any interim
or preliminary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, as necessary to protect
the party's rights or property pending the completion of arbitration. By using the Site or the
Subscription Service, you consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state
and federal courts located in King County, Washington. Any legal action by Subscriber arising
under these Terms and Conditions must be initiated within two years after the cause of action
arises. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of these Terms and Conditions
does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any
covenant or obligation in accordance with these Terms and Conditions will not be a waiver of
such party's right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a
novation of these Terms and Conditions. If any part of these Terms and Conditions is found to be
illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of these Terms and Conditions will
remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the grant of any license
to Subscriber under these Terms and Conditions is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid,
the license will immediately terminate. Except as set forth in Section 2 of these Terms and
Conditions, these Terms and Conditions may not be amended except in writing signed by both
you and us. In the event that we make such a change that has a material adverse impact on your
rights or use of the Service, you may terminate these Terms and Conditions by giving us notice
within 20 days of the date we notify you, and you will not be charged any cancellation fee. These
Terms and Conditions are the final and complete expression of the agreement between these
parties regarding the Subscription Service. These Terms and Conditions supersede, and the terms
of these Terms and Conditions govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding
these matters. v140527 How it works eSignature Digital Transaction Management Legality
