ON24 Universal Terms and Conditions
1) Introduction
a) ON24 owns and operates an application platform (the “Platform”) that facilitates the creation, management and/or broadcast of virtual, live and on-demand experiences over the internet. ON24 provides products through the Platform to deliver experiences comprised of (i) live, simulive and/or on-demand webinars with interactive engagement and conversion tools (the product being “ON24 Webcast Elite” and each webinar being a “Webinar”, “Webcast” or “Event”), (ii) video-centric events optimized for networking and audience participation (the product being “ON24 Go Live” and each event being an “ON24 Go Live Event”), (iii) audience-centric discussion-based events (the product being “ON24 Forums” and each event being an “ON24 Forum Event”), (iv) one-on-one and/or group based audience engagement and Q&A sessions (the product being “ON24 Breakouts”), (v) virtual conference events which capture audience engagement insights (the product being “ON24 Virtual Conference”), (vi) multimedia, content-rich hubs for audiences engagement with live and on-demand resources (the product being “ON24 Engagement Hub”), and (vii) scalable personalized content experiences (the product being “ON24 Target”, and all seven of the aforementioned products collectively being the “ON24 Experience Products”).
b) Client can order ON24 Experience Products and/or other products and services from ON24 (collectively, the “Services”) by entering into a subscription agreement, statement of work or a similar written agreement with ON24 that expressly incorporates by reference these Terms (and together with one of the foregoing agreements, an “Agreement”). “Order Forms” are additional ordering documents that may be executed pursuant to an existing Agreement for the purchase of additional Services by Client (and which upon execution form part of such Agreement). In addition to the Terms, the Service Specific Supplemental Terms, located at https://www.ON24.com/service-specific-terms, shall apply to applicable Services used by Client. These Terms shall remain in full force and effect for so long as any Agreement which incorporates by reference these Terms remains in effect.
2) Use of services
a) Client may be provisioned one or more accounts on the Platform (“Accounts”) in accordance with an Agreement. Accounts may only be used by Client (and its employees and subcontractors who are approved by Client to act on Client’s behalf) to create and manage Services to be viewed, accessed, or otherwise used by individuals who register for or access the Services (with each of those accessing a particular Service being an “Attendee” or “Viewer” of the same). Client shall safeguard login credentials to the Accounts and shall be responsible for all use of Services through the Accounts. “Registrant” is an individual who is registered for a Service via a registration form. An individual shall be counted as a Registrant each time the individual is registered for a Service, including each time the individual is registered with different credentials.
b) An Agreement may specify a certain number of Attendees that are authorized to attend a particular Service at no additional charge (the “Included Attendees”). In such a case, should Client run a Service that is attended by more Attendees than the Included Attendees, additional fees may be payable in accordance with such Agreement. For example, if an Agreement specifies that a Webinar includes up to 1,000 Included Attendees an additional fee may be charged if more than 1,000 Attendees attend such Webinar.
c) Regardless of the stated number of Included Attendees in an Agreement, in no event shall the number of Attendees connected to a particular Service exceed 2,500 concurrent Attendees for a Live Experience (defined below) or 1,000 concurrent Attendees otherwise, unless ON24 has approved a large event request ticket for an additional number of Attendees in accordance with the process below (in each case such number of Attendees being the “Attendee Limit”). If the total number of Attendees connected to or attempting to connect to a Service exceeds the applicable Attendee Limit, then ON24 shall have the right to deny connections in excess of the Attendee Limit. On each occasion that Client would like to increase the Attendee Limit, Client shall submit a large event request ticket via its Platform Account at least 10 business days in advance of the date of the applicable Service. If Client timely submits such a ticket, ON24 will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate the requested Attendee Limit, which accommodation may include proposing to reschedule the applicable Service to a non-peak usage period. To the extent available, (i) additional Attendees over the Attendee Limit amount are to be purchased in blocks of 500 in accordance with the relevant Agreement and (ii) additional Attendees over 10,000 will be priced by quote. The term “Live Experience” means the usage by Client of Services at a specified time and date for a specified duration of time.
3) Use restrictions
a) Client agrees to use the Platform and Services in compliance with applicable law and shall not and shall ensure Attendees do not: (i) permit any third party to use the Platform or Services except as permitted herein or in an Agreement; (ii) modify, reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Platform, or cause or permit others to do so; (iii) use the Platform or Services in order to (A) build a competitive product or service, or (B) copy any ideas, features, functions or graphics of the Platform or Services; (iv) remove or modify any title, trademark, copyright and/or restricted rights notice or label from the Platform or Services; (v) create derivative works based on the Platform or otherwise violate ON24’s intellectual property rights; (vi) use Platform or Services on a service bureau basis, or run or perform Services on behalf of a third party; (vii) resell Services (unless pursuant to an Agreement that expressly states that Client is authorized to resell Services); (viii) use the Platform or Services in any manner inconsistent with these Terms or an Agreement; or (ix) use the Platform or Services to transmit or display any infringing, indecent, or illegal material, including any material that violates the rights of any third party. ON24 reserves the right to suspend Client’s access to the Platform and Services upon notice to Client if ON24 reasonably suspects or becomes aware of a breach of an Agreement, including this Section 3, by Client. ON24 agrees to promptly restore access following its confirmation that there is no active breach by Client.

c) The fees payable for a Service shall be as set forth in the applicable Agreement.
d) Should Client order or use a Service not listed in an Agreement, the price for such Service shall be ON24’s then-current standard price, which Client hereby agrees to pay.

Client shall not be responsible for paying the same to the extent Client has provided ON24 with a valid tax exemption or direct pay certificate that exempts Client from such payment. Client shall reimburse ON24 for any Taxes paid on behalf of Client. All payments shall be made by Client to ON24 without withholding or deduction unless Client is required by law to make such withholding or deduction, in which case the amount payable by Client shall be increased to the extent necessary such that, after such withholding or deduction, the net amount received by ON24 is equal to the amount it would have received absent any withholding or deduction.
f) If an Agreement does not include billing and payment terms, then with respect to that Agreement (i) ON24 shall invoice Client for all fees payable thereunder upon its execution, and (ii) Client shall pay all fees within 30 days of receipt of invoice. Client is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing, contact, and purchase order information to ON24 and for notifying ON24 of any changes to such information. Client must provide ON24 with written notice of any dispute or disagreement with invoiced fees within 30 days of the date of the applicable invoice.
g) Any amounts invoiced that are not received by ON24 by their due date are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all reasonable expenses of collection incurred by ON24, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses. Client agrees that ON24 may apply monies paid by Client to any amounts owed by Client under any Agreement.
h) If any amount owed by Client is overdue, ON24 may, without liability and without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Client’s unpaid fee obligations under such Agreement so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services under such Agreement until such amount is paid in full.
