a.: Access: A Customer's level of access and number of seats is determined by the signed “Agreement”, which includes a “Subscription Package”, which details the Customer's intent to purchase specific capabilities within the Federal Compass platform. Upon signing the Agreement, the Customer agrees to the “Existing Product Features” and is not guaranteed access to any additional enhancements for product additions. Access may also be granted by an “Order” in lieu of establishing an “Agreement”, such an “Order” is for “Existing Product Features” only.
b.: Availability. Our goal is to ensure that you have access to your subscription 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are unable to anticipate any availability disruptions that could arise from our cloud-provider or the publicly available sources we rely on for content.
c.: Subscription Duration: Federal Compass provides an “Annual Subscription”, though “Payment Terms” are controlled by the “Agreement”, a Customer commits to a one-year term or the defined term outlined in their “Agreement”.
d.: “Subscription Fees” or Contract Value: A Customer commits to a “Subscription Package” and price point for those services, upon signing an “Agreement” with the company. The “Agreement” clearly defines the cost associated with all “Subscription Packages” and “Add-On” services.
e.: “Invoice Terms”, “Delinquent Payments”, and “Denial of Service”: Unless otherwise indicated in the “Agreement”, a Customer is required to provide payment before services and access are rendered to a Customer. Failure to promptly provide payment information will result in a “Denial of Service” action and potential escalation to a “Collections” third-party. Denial of Service does not alleviate the Customer's obligation to pay the full amount identified in the Agreement.
f.: “Payment Terms”, “Good Standing”, and “Denial of Service”: If an “Agreement”, indicates an annual, monthly, quarterly, or semo-annual payment, the Customer will be expected to make payments as determined by the “Agreement”. A breach of payment terms or an overdue invoice will result in an immediate “Denial of Service” action and potential escalation to a “Collections” third-party. “Denial of Service” does not alleviate the Customer's obligation to pay the full amount identified in the “Agreement”. Furthermore, Federal Compass reserves the right to accelerate payment collection, including requiring full upfront payment of the outstanding balance, if a Customer is on monthly, quarterly or semi annual terms is delinquent.
g.: “Late Payment Fees”: For a Customer with a delinquent account to return to “Good Standing” they must pay “Subscription Fees”, in addition to assessed “Late Payment Fees.” And the account is considered delinquent until the late fees have been resolved. A Customer is responsible for satisfying all delinquent payments and late fees to avoid punitive actions from the Company.
h.: “Evergreen”, “Auto Renew”, “Renewal Term” and “Cancellation”: The “Agreement”, indicates the window for cancellation, and the Customer must a provide a written cancellation notice prior to the expiration of that window. Should a Customer wish to stay on or fail to cancel at the appropriate time, the company expects prompt payment for the following annual subscription. A failure to pay or an overdue invoice will result in a “Denial of Service” and potential escalation to a “Collections” third-party. A Customer's failure to cancel the subscription does not alleviate the Customer's obligation to pay the full amount associated with the renewal. If a Customer does not update payment information leading to a failure to collect payment, a “Denial of Service” action will be taken immediately. Any such Denial of Service does not alleviate the Customer's obligation to pay the full amount of the renewal as communicated by the Company in the form of reminder emails or an invoice.
i.: “Payment Information” and User-Registration: Unless explicitly defined in the signed “Agreement”, the Customer is required to promptly provide a credit card or ACH method of payment when committing to a subscription. By providing a credit card or ACH payment method, the Customer authorizes the Company to process payments against invoices using that payment method. The company has sole discretion over offering terms of payment and payment methods outside of those described above. Such agreement or understandings will be captured in the agreement. Furthermore, a Customer, unless otherwise stated in the “Agreement”, is required to keep payment information updated with the Company.
j.: Seat Assignment and Password Security. Member companies and administrators who have provided access to multiple users are responsible for managing that access. We highly recommend that administrators frequently review “Assignment” and “Auditing” for their user list to avoid any unnecessary renewal fees. Federal Compass will not be required to refund a subscription fee due to access management oversight. Every user is responsible for the strength and security of their password. We highly encourage users to avoid sharing their login credentials with any co-workers or colleagues. Federal Compass is not liable for any financial or business damage that happens due to such unauthorized access.

Any such lack of payment will be considered delinquent and subject to punitive actions from Federal Compass.
l.: “Termination for Cause”, “Denial of Service” and “Cancellation”. Federal Compass reserves the right to respond to any violation of our Terms of Service, AUP, and Privacy Policy. When actions lead to termination or expiration of your subscription, you forfeit your right to access marked or pipeline content.
