2. The Basics
   • 2.1. User ID.

To use Bluebeam’s Software, You will be required to sign up for an account and select a password and user-name (“User ID”). A User ID may also be created by Your administrator. If You are using a User ID assigned by an administrator, different or additional terms may apply and the administrator may be able to access or disable Your User ID. You promise to provide Bluebeam with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about Yourself. You may not select as Your User ID a name that You don’t have the right to use, or another person’s name with the intent to impersonate that person, or create a generic User ID not assigned to an Authorized User as further described in the Product and Services Addendum. Some Software may require additional accounts to access and are governed by these Terms. Each will have a User ID.

You are solely responsible for any and all activity that occurs under Your User ID. Bluebeam shall have no responsibility with regard to the use, disclosure, or management of Your User ID, information or any content accessed, uploaded, processed or exchanged through Your User ID. You are responsible for (a) keeping Your User ID information confidential; (b) promptly notifying Bluebeam of any suspected or unauthorized use of Your User ID; (c) disclosure of Your password to any third person/party; and (d) protecting the security of Your account.

All users (including, without limitation, customers, potential customers, end-users, and visitors to Bluebeam’s websites and events) are required to comply with the following Acceptable Use Policy to protect Bluebeam and its customers from illegal, irresponsible, or disruptive activities.

• 2.2. Acceptable Use Policy.

All users of Bluebeam’s Services and Software must abide by Bluebeam’s Acceptable Use Policy. When using Bluebeam’s Services and Software, You agree that neither You nor any of Your users will not (and You will not encourage, create or facilitate the ability of other users or third parties to):

Notwithstanding Bluebeam’s Acceptable Use Policy, as a user of the internet (including Bluebeam’s Software and Services), You undertake such activities at Your own risk while acknowledging that there are known and unanticipated risks associated with the internet. Bluebeam assumes no liability for the actions of its users or the content they may post or communicate.

3. Does Bluebeam Offer Trials and Beta Test of its Services and Software

Yes, Bluebeam does offer trials for some Services and Software and may also offer You an opportunity to participate in beta tests for new products or releases in the future. Such trials and beta tests will be described in the relevant offer and are subject to these General Terms and as further detailed in the Bluebeam Products and Services Addendum.

4. Privacy, Non-personal data, and Security

Your privacy is important to us. For more information about how we collect, use, share or otherwise process Personal Data as a “controller”, please see Our Privacy Policy. When acting as a “processor” for Your Personal Data, the Data Processing Addendum found here will apply and is integrated into these Terms by this reference.

To provide the Services and Software, Bluebeam collects, transmits, stores, and uses Personal Data and Non-personal data to deliver, improve, and administer the Services and Software. “Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person which may be used to identify such person and includes information referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” under applicable data privacy laws, rules or regulations. It does not include categories of sensitive personal information. Non-personal information excludes Personal Data but includes information and data that by itself does not identify You or another individual and can be generated by use of the Services and Software, use of Our website, or other online activity. Together, Personal Data and Non-personal Information comprise “Your Data”. Since Bluebeam Services and Software are not designed for sensitive personal data such as social security numbers, Personal Data of minors, or credit cards, You agree not to upload such data to Bluebeam’s systems.

Your Data is used to provide transactional information to You, information about updates and upgrades to the Services or Software, respond to inquiries and collect feedback, verifying compliance with the Terms including user validation via the internet, to analyze bugs, error reports or logs, and/or to improve, understand, or monitor the Services or Software by itself or through its selected vendors. You expressly provide Bluebeam a license to Your Data for these purposes.

Bluebeam shall establish and maintain administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed to guard against the destruction, loss, or alteration of Your Data and Your Content to the extent it is stored within Bluebeam systems. Without limiting the foregoing, Bluebeam shall at all times in connection with this Agreement: (i) maintain and enforce an information security program including administrative, physical and technical security policies and procedures with respect to its processing of Your Data and Your Content consistent with commercially reasonable industry practices and standards and the Terms; (ii) provide technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized access to or use, destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure, transfer, commingling or processing of such information and ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks presented by the processing of such information and the nature of such information, consistent with commercially reasonable industry practice and standards; (iii) take commercially reasonable measures to secure the Software against “hackers” and others who may seek, without authorization, to disrupt, damage, modify, access or otherwise use the Services or Software or the information found therein; and (iv) take commercially reasonable measures to logically separate Your Data from that of other customers. Bluebeam shall periodically test and continuously monitor its systems for potential areas where security could be breached and shall also periodically conduct security testing, including penetration testing. Bluebeam shall be solely responsible for its information technology infrastructure, including all computers, software, databases, electronic systems and networks that are owned or controlled by Bluebeam that may be used by Bluebeam in connection with the Services and Software. You agree not to tamper, compromise, or attempt to circumvent any administrative, physical, or technical safeguards implemented by Bluebeam for purposes of penetration testing, system assessment or otherwise attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any Bluebeam system or network or breach any security or authentication measures.

Bluebeam will require any third-party service providers used to provide the Services or Software to implement and maintain commercially reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Your Data. The safeguards will include, but not be limited to, measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of Your Data. Bluebeam shall neither sell Your Data or Your Content nor use either for any purpose other than as described in the Terms.

Your use of third-party software or applications or Your integration of such software or applications with Bluebeam’s Services and Software (“Third-Party Applications”) may result in Your Data or Your Content being transferred to such third party. Bluebeam is not responsible for the performance or security practices of such Third-Party Applications. You agree to hold Bluebeam harmless for any data or materials including Your Content or Your Data transferred to third parties in connection with Your use of third-party Applications. ANY USE OF THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND UNDER YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THAT THIRD PARTY. BLUEBEAM PROVIDES NO WARRANTY OR INDEMNIFICATION OF ANY KIND RELATED TO SUCH USE.

5. Will The Terms Ever Change?

Yes. The Terms may change for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, product enhancements, improvements, or applicable law or regulatory changes that affect the Services or Software. You agree that Bluebeam has the right to modify the Terms at any time in its sole discretion. When We do, notice on Bluebeam’s Legal page which can accessed here, sending You an email, providing notice through the Services or Software itself, and/or other means to which you have access are agreed to be acceptable written notice of such modifications.

If You don’t agree with the updated Terms, You are free to reject them. Unfortunately, that means You will no longer be able to use the Services or Software. In the event you decide to reject Bluebeam’s new Terms, You must (i) provide Bluebeam written notice of termination, (ii) remove Your Content by the termination date; (iii) cancel Your User ID; and (iv) discontinue all access and use of the Services and Software as further described in Section 8.4.3.1 in the Term and Termination section below. If You continue to use the Services or Software after a change to the Terms is effective, that means You agree to all of the changes.

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both You and Bluebeam.

6. Will Bluebeam Change its Services?

Bluebeam is always trying to improve its Services and Software, so they may change over time. These changes may introduce new features, impose limits on certain features, or restrict access to parts or all of the Services and Software. Bluebeam reserves the right to revise, modify, or update the Services and Software in its sole discretion. Bluebeam will try to give notice when we make a material change that would adversely affect You, but this isn’t always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove features, functionality, or decommission the Services or Software in compliance with Bluebeam’s end of life policies.

7. Is Bluebeam Software Available Via a Mobile App

Bluebeam may offer certain Services and Software via mobile applications (for iOS and Android). Mobile applications may include content, services, data, technology and other digital materials and functions. Functionality, technical limitations and technical protection measures, if any, can be found in the respective application description. The Terms also apply to the legal relationships between You and Bluebeam regarding Services provided by Bluebeam via mobile applications for mobile devices including any additional terms of use provided at download. The mobile applications are provided in cooperation with third parties, or so-called “application providers”, such as an app store which may require acceptance of terms applicable to their platform. Mobile applications can only be used after agreeing to the Terms and payment of any applicable fees, if any. Download and use of a mobile application indicates Your agreement to the Terms.
