Empower User License Agreement

This Empower User License Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a binding legal contract between you, as an individual (“You” or “Your”), and ISN Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ISN”). Please read this Agreement carefully before checking “I accept the Empower User Agreement” in the Empower Application (the “App”) and clicking the “Create account” button because by doing so You are agreeing You (i) have read, understand, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (ii) are at least 18 years old and of the legal age and capacity required under applicable laws to enter into a binding agreement, and (iii) have only one Empower account and you are using Your real name. If You do not agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, then do not click the “Create account” button.

Your Account

After downloading the App, You will create an Empower account (“Account”). The Account is Yours; however, (i) certain information You enter into the Account may be shared with others, and (ii) certain information You access through the Account may be obtained from others.

You agree ISN may contact You about the Account and Your use of the App, so be sure to keep Your contact information in the Account up to date. You may review and update Your contact information and communication preferences in the “Profile” section of the App.

The App

The App is a software application that is downloadable to Your mobile device(s) (“Your Device”). The App enables You to:

(i) provide, transmit, receive and store certain content, messages and other information that relates specifically to You (“Your Data”);

(ii) access ISNetworld and other platforms or services that may be offered from time to time by ISN (ISNetworld and all such other platforms or services, whether or not accessed by You, are “ISN Platforms”);

(iii) provide, transmit, receive and store Your Data to and from ISN Platforms (“Your ISN Platform Data”); and

(iv) receive from ISN Platforms and store certain content, messages, and other information that does not relate specifically to You (e.g., training videos, worksite updates, etc.) (“Platform Content”).

You may download the App even if You are not currently connected to a Contractor (as defined below) using any ISN Platform; however, You would be required to associate the App with a Contractor’s account on an ISN Platform in order for You to access such ISN Platform or have Your ISN Platform Data or any Platform Content shared between the App and such ISN Platform. Following the termination of your association with a Contractor’s account on an ISN Platform, you may retain in the App certain of Your ISN Platform Data associated with that Contractor’s account (“Your Persistent ISN Platform Data”).

License Grant to You

ISN grants to You a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, personal license to (i) install the App on Your Device, and (ii) use the App solely for the purposes described in this Agreement and strictly in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations. The App and all copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights associated with the App are and will remain the sole property of ISN.

License Restrictions on You

In addition to all other limitations and restrictions in this Agreement, You agree that You will not (i) copy the App, (ii) modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works of the App, (iii) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to any of the App’s source code, (iv) remove, delete, alter, or obscure any trademarks or any copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights notices within the App, (v) sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, or transfer the App, or any features or functionality of the App, to any third party, (vi) remove, disable, circumvent, or otherwise create or implement any workaround to any of the App’s security features, (vii) allow any third party to access the App through Your Device, or (viii) disclose to third parties any Platform Content or any of Your ISN Platform Data (other than Your Persistent ISN Platform Data).

Term and Termination of this Agreement

The term of this Agreement begins when You create Your account (e.g., by clicking the “Create account” button) and will continue until terminated as provided in this section. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by deleting the App from Your Device and cancelling the Account. ISN may terminate the License, this Agreement, and Your access to and use of the Account at any time and without prior notice to You by discontinuing the App or by revoking the License, and ISN and ISN’s affiliates and service providers will not be liable to You, Your Company (as defined below), or any other party for doing so.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, ISN’s rights to use, maintain, and share Your ISN Platform Data in accordance with this Agreement, together with Your obligations under this Agreement, shall survive the termination of the License and of this Agreement.

The App contains functionality for You to request deletion of personal data from the App. In connection with such a request, ISN may delete Your App Data and Your ISN Platform Data (including Your Persistent ISN Platform Data) from the App and terminate Your Account; however, except as required by applicable law, ISN will not delete Your ISN Platform Data from any other ISN Platform, as such data is being accessed and relied on by users of the applicable ISN Platform(s). Requests to delete Your ISN Platform Data from any ISN Platform should be directed in accordance with the policies in place from time to time for such ISN Platform.

Coordination with ISN Platform Subscriptions

This Agreement governs Your use of the App, but it does not alter or modify the terms that govern any ISN Platform subscription. Please see the User Agreement for ISNetworld Contractors for the terms that govern each Contractor’s ISNetworld subscription (together with the terms and conditions that may apply to other ISN Platforms, the “User Agreement”). If You work for a Contractor (“Your Company”) and You use the App to access ISN Services in Your role as an employee of Your Company, then (i) Your access to and use of ISN Services through the App remains subject to the User Agreement, and (ii) otherwise Your use of the App is governed by this Agreement.
