If you do not agree to these Terms, you do not have the right to access or use the EDEN Service. If you do register for or otherwise use the EDEN Service you shall be deemed to confirm your acceptance of the Terms and your agreement to be a party to this binding contract.

What Is the EDEN Service?

The EDEN Software and other products, services and websites hosted or made available by EDEN, including our downloadable applications, App Center, User Forum, and Help & Learning are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “EDEN Service.” In exchange for being enabled to use the EDEN Service, you agree to abide by these Terms.

If This Is a Contract, Who Are the Parties?

You, the Account Holder, are one party to this contract. (An Account Holder is the person or entity who has contracted with EDEN.)

If you reside in the United States or Canada, then the other party to this contract is EDEN Corporation, a corporation headquartered in California. If you reside in Brazil, then the other party to this contract is EDEN do Brasil Serviços de Aplicações Ltda., a company headquartered in the city of São Paulo, State of Sao Paolo, Brazil (“EDEN Brasil”).

Is This the Only Contract I Have with EDEN?

It depends upon how you interact with the EDEN Service and our software applications. If you install any EDEN Software on your computing devices, you may be asked to agree to an end user license agreement. If you pay for an EDEN subscription, you will be asked to agree to the Commercial Terms.

These Terms may be amended as new features, technology, or legal requirements arise, so please check back from time to time. If we make a significant change, we’ll notify you and, where required, seek your consent.

Except for changes made by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms shall be effective unless set forth in a written agreement expressly amending these Terms and bearing a written signature by you and us. For clarity, email or other communications will not constitute an effective written agreement for this purpose.

What Do I Have to do to Use the EDEN Service?

First, you need to create an EDEN Service account. You create an account by providing us with an email address and creating a password. (Some older accounts also required a username.) We refer to this as your “Basic Subscriber Information”. We encourage you to use a distinct and non-obvious password that is different from passwords you use for any other service. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy, completeness and confidentiality of your Basic Subscriber Information, and you will be responsible for all activities that occur under your account, including activities of others to whom you have provided your Basic Subscriber Information. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to provide us with accurate information or to keep your Basic Subscriber Information secure. If you discover any unauthorized use of your Basic Subscriber Information or suspect that anyone may be able to access your private Content without authorization, you should immediately change your password and notify our Customer Support team.

Second, you will need to access your account through a web browser or by installing our client software on your computers, tablets and phones. Obtaining those devices and paying for their connectivity and data plans is your responsibility. EDEN also has no responsibility for the availability of the Internet and other telecommunication services necessary to access the EDEN Service.

Can I Share My Account with Someone Else?

EDEN Service accounts should not be shared. If you share your Basic Subscriber Information with anyone, that other person may be able to take control of the account, and we may not be able to determine who is the proper Account Holder. We will not have any liability to you (or anyone you share your Basic Subscriber Information with) as a result of your or their actions under those circumstances. Since you may use a free EDEN Service account, and since we provide a number of mechanisms to allow you to share your account Content with others, we strongly urge you not to share your information with anyone, unless you are doing so as part of your estate planning purposes, as discussed below.

Once I Have an Account, What Are My Rights in the EDEN Service?

If you elect to use any third-party service or application that is integrated with EDEN, you also agree that the licenses granted to EDEN in the preceding paragraph shall apply to Content that is submitted or uploaded through such third-party service or application.

What Other Assurances Do I Have to Grant to EDEN?

When you use the EDEN Service to send messages to an email address, to a telephone number via SMS, or through a social media account (e.g., Facebook or LinkedIn) that has not been linked to an EDEN account, EDEN sends such messages on your behalf, and we are relying on your representation to us that you have a direct relationship with the recipient(s) and that you are respecting the legal rights of the recipient(s) not to receive certain kinds of messages (such as harassing messages, unsolicited commercial messages, and unwanted SMS messages). Whenever you send any kind of message to a third party you represent and warrant to EDEN that you are acting within the law and that you have prior consent from the recipient to send them such a message.

Are There Rules about What I Can Do on the EDEN Service?
