Each Client may have only one Account. If several persons need to use an Account on behalf of Client, Client must designate such persons as Users.

Each such User shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms. If Client has designated Users and granted them Authorization, such Users will be deemed to be authorized to act on behalf of Client when using the Account.

Supplier is not responsible for and shall have no liability for verifying the validity of Authorization of any User. However, Supplier may, in its discretion, request additional information or proof of the person’s credentials. If Supplier is not certain if a User has been granted Authorization, Supplier may, in its sole discretion, prevent such User from accessing the Crowdin Services and/or suspend or terminate the Account.

A User may be associated with multiple Clients and Accounts. Blocking a User from one Account or Project will not remove the User from the Platform if he/she is connected to multiple Accounts. The Client and any User associated with an Account must provide Supplier with true, accurate, current, and complete information about the Client, Users and Account and keep it up to date.

5.2 Logging Into an Account.

Client creates a username and password (“Login Credentials”) to be used to log in to its Account unless the Client uses the single sign-on feature or another service to log in. These Login Credentials must not be used by multiple persons. If Client has designated several Users, each User should create separate Login Credentials. Client and each User are responsible for keeping confidential all login credentials associated with an Account. Client must promptly notify Supplier of any disclosure, loss or unauthorized use of any Login Credentials.

5.3 Termination of Account.

Client may terminate these Terms by terminating the Account at any time as provided in Section 17. Supplier shall permanently delete the Account within six months of the effective date of the termination.

The applicable Fee is charged in advance on monthly or annual payment intervals, unless agreed otherwise between parties. In case of cancellation by Supplier, Supplier shall refund due amount of money paid by the Client for the unused Software Services except the amounts of the discount provided to the Client for the Annual Subscription. If, after signing up, Client elects to upgrade to a more expensive Plan, the unused portion of any prepaid Fees shall be applied to the Fee of the more expensive Plan.

All Fees are stated net and are exclusive of all taxes, VAT, levies, fees, withholdings, or duties applicable under any applicable law, unless stated otherwise stated herein. Client is solely responsible for the payment of such taxes, VAT, levies, fees, withholdings, or duties. The Client shall not make any deductions, withholdings or reduction of the Fees without first obtaining Supplier’s written consent. In the event the net amount received by Supplier is less than the Fee, Supplier shall have the right to stop providing the Services.

5.5 Changing Plans.

Any Client has the right to upgrade or downgrade a current Plan at any time by selecting a new Plan among the collection of Plans determined by the Supplier. In such an event, the Client’s credit card on file with the Supplier will automatically be charged with a Fee for the next payment interval with the rate stipulated in the new Plan. Downgrading of the current Plan may cause the loss of features or capacity of the Account.

5.6 Free Trial.

A new Client may be entitled to a Free Trial, unless the Client has applied for the Account as a result of an ongoing marketing campaign organized by the Supplier in cooperation with its partners. The Client is not required to provide any credit card information during the period of Free Trial. If the period of Free Trial has expired, the Account will be automatically deactivated.

This means that Client, and not Supplier, is entirely responsible for all Client Data that is uploaded, posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the Crowdin Services, as well as for any actions taken by the Suppliers or other Clients or Users or third parties as a result of such Client Data.

Supplier has no obligations to monitor the use of or ensure that the Client Data does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of other Clients, Users or third parties. Client or User (as the case may be) is solely responsible for securing all necessary rights to the Client Data.

7.3 Unlawful Client Data.

Supplier is not obliged to pre-screen, monitor or filter any Client Data or acts of its processing by the Client in order to discover any unlawful nature therein. However, if such unlawful Client Data or the action of its unlawful processing is discovered or brought to the attention of Supplier or if there is reason to believe that certain Client Data is unlawful, Supplier has the right to:

  • notify the Client of such unlawful Client Data;
  • demand that the Client bring the unlawful Client Data into compliance with these Terms and applicable law;
  • temporarily or permanently remove the unlawful Client Data from the Web Site or Account, restrict access to it, suspend it or delete it.

If Supplier is presented convincing evidence that the Client Data is not unlawful, Supplier may, at its sole discretion, restore such Client Data, which was removed from the Account or access to which was restricted.

In such instance, Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Client with prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and Client shall provide reasonable assistance, at its cost, if Client wishes to contest the disclosure. If Supplier is compelled by law to disclose Client’s confidential information as part of a civil proceeding to which Supplier is a party, and Client is not contesting the disclosure, Client will reimburse Supplier for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that confidential information.
