PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE (“Terms”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY SAWTOOTH SOFTWARE (“Sawtooth”) PLATFORM.

If you live in or are accessing services from any of the following countries or regions, country specific additional terms may apply to you and are viewable at the bottom of these Terms. We display the country/region within the Terms when applicable. These additional terms override the Terms below to the extent of any inconsistency.

Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Hong Kong, Japan, Philippines, or any European Union country (including specific terms for Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Switzerland).

Welcome to the Sawtooth community! You are reading these Terms because you are using a Sawtooth application or product, website, digital experience, social media platform, mobile app, Analytics service, Support service, or one of our other ancillary services, all of which are part of Sawtooth’s Platform (“Platform”). You may access the Platform through a computer, mobile phone, tablet, console, or other technology, which we refer to here as a “Device”. Your carrier's normal rates and fees apply to your Device.

These Terms create a legally binding agreement between you and Sawtooth and its subsidiaries and affiliates (which we may refer to as “Sawtooth,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) regarding your use of the Platform. Please review our List of Local Entities for the name of the Sawtooth entity responsible for providing the Platform to you and the appropriate contact information. A few important points:

Our Terms May Change. Some jurisdictions do not permit unilateral updates or changes to consumer terms, so this paragraph may not apply to you. [See Canada terms.] We may update these Terms from time to time. If a material change is made, we will post a notice on the Platform or send you a notification. Read through any changes, and if you don’t agree to them, please stop using the Platform. If you continue to use our Platform after we notify you of changes, you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Terms, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy describes the collection and use of personal information on the Platform and applies to your use of the Platform.
Important Notice for ALL Users. Sawtooth is not responsible or liable for the results of your projects or business/academic performance through your use of the Platform.

1. GROUND RULES

Rules for Registration. When you register for an account with us, the following rules apply:

Be True: Provide accurate and current registration information.
Be You: Keep your registration personal. Do not register for more than one Sawtooth account, register a Sawtooth account on behalf of someone else, share your account with someone else, or transfer your account.
Be Secure: Keep your username, password, and other login credentials secure and do not allow anyone else to know your account information or use your account.
Be Responsible: Inform Sawtooth immediately of any unauthorized use of your Sawtooth account. You are responsible for anything that happens through your Sawtooth account – with or without your permission. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Sawtooth IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR ACTIVITY THAT RESULTS FROM THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT.

2. OWNERSHIP OF CONTENT

Except for User Content (defined below in Section 3), all of the content on our Platform - including text, software, scripts, code, designs, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, applications, interactive features, articles, news stories, general artwork, and other content ("Content") - is owned by Sawtooth or others we license Content from, and is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other laws. Sawtooth reserves all rights not expressly described in these Terms.

All trademarks, service marks and trade names (e.g., the Sawtooth name and the Sawtooth mountains and lighthouse designs) are owned, registered and/or licensed by Sawtooth. You do not acquire a license or any ownership rights to any trademarks, service marks, or trade names through your access or use of the Platform or Content.
You agree not to change or delete any ownership notices from materials downloaded or printed from the Platform.
To the extent Sawtooth approves the download or use of Content comprised of copyrights or copyrightable works, Sawtooth grants you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use such copyrights or copyrightable works solely for their intended purpose and solely for as long as Sawtooth makes such Content generally available to the public. You do not acquire any ownership rights in the Content (including any trademarks or other intellectual property included in the Content), and all such Content is intended for use only under the applicable license to access and use. Sawtooth reserves the right to monitor your use and to alter or revoke this license or your access to the Content at any time and for any reason. Sawtooth reserves the right to take down any Content in violation of these terms or Sawtooth’s intellectual property rights. Sawtooth allowing you this limited use does not constitute a waiver of any of Sawtooth’s rights to the Content.
Outside of the specific usage rights granted to you by Sawtooth in connection with the Platform, you agree not to use, copy, edit, translate, display, distribute, download, transmit, sell, create derivative works of, or in any way exploit any Content, including User Content (unless it is your own User Content that you legally post on the Platform), without Sawtooth’s prior written consent or implied consent (e.g., our tech support or web administrator provides you with an answer to your question). However, any use under an implied consent should never be construed as the conveyance of ownership, right to distribute/disseminate, or right to sub- license. If in doubt, please contact legal@sawtoothsoftware.com. Unauthorized use of the Content may constitute a breach of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property laws and may subject you to criminal or civil charges and penalties.

3. POSTING CONTENT PUBLICLY ON THE PLATFORM

User Content License. Some parts of the Platform allow you to post photos, videos, comments, and other content, which we refer to as “User Content.” Sawtooth is not responsible for User Content others post to the Platform. User Content is owned by you or whoever created it, but when you post User Content you license it to Sawtooth as described below:

You represent that you have the right to post your User Content, and you grant Sawtooth a nonexclusive, perpetual, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any of the User Content that you post on or in connection with the Platform, including the likeness of any person that appears in the User Content, or any of the concepts or ideas contained in the User Content, for any purpose, including commercial use, which includes the right to translate, display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, sublicense, distribute, and assign these rights. Sawtooth may, in its sole discretion, remove any User Content at any time. [See Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, and Philippines terms.]
You understand that deleted User Content may persist in Sawtooth’s systems and on the Platform to the extent your User Content has been publicly posted or shared with others who have not deleted it unless you or the relevant individual request deletion or blocking of personal data in accordance with applicable law.

LICENSE TO USE COMMENTS, FEEDBACK, AND IDEAS. You understand that any comments, feedback, or ideas you voluntarily send us are provided on a non-confidential basis and you grant to Sawtooth a perpetual, worldwide license to use all comments, feedback, and ideas you may share with us, without notice, compensation or acknowledgement to you, for any purposes whatsoever, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing products and services and creating, modifying, or improving products and services. [See Colombia and Belgium terms.] However, we will keep your name and company information anonymous if we decide to publicize and share any of your comments, feedback, or ideas unless you freely give us permission to do otherwise.

Partners On the Platform. From time to time, Sawtooth may link to or partner with third-party websites, social media platforms, mobile apps, and other products and services (“Third Parties”). You may be able to connect with these Third Parties through the Platform, but this does not mean Sawtooth endorses, monitors, or has any control over these Third Parties or their activities, which are subject to separate terms of use and privacy policies.

We are not required to provide notice to you when we do so. If you live in United Kingdom (UK) or European Economic Area (EEA), we are required to provide you with a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) and the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in addition to you accepting these Terms of Use. In the SCCs, you may find all the data transferring information and security mechanisms involved to export/import your data from an adequate country to a non-adequate country for processing. If you don’t feel safe or comfortable with our Sub-processors or the provisions regarding to your data being transferred and processed in the US, please do not use our website or provide any of User Data to us.
