5. Your Content.
5.1 Ownership. Except for the rights you grant to us in this Agreement, you retain all right, title and interest in the content and data you enter into a Sheet or otherwise submit to the Service (“Your Content”). You represent and warrant to us that you either own all rights (or have obtained all licenses, consents or permissions) necessary to submit Your Content to the Service, and you agree not to submit content that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of any third parties, including their rights of privacy and publicity.

When you enter Your Content into Sheets, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide license to use Your Content in order to make the Service and its features available in accordance with the online and print documentation we provide for the Service, including by displaying it to other users with whom you share Sheets and (subject to the sharing privileges selected for the applicable Sheet) making it available for download and modification by other users with whom you share Sheets.

Your Content may include templates that you post to our public template gallery, comments you post on discussion boards, content posted in other public communities or forums we maintain on the Site and Service (“Community Content”).

Sheets you have created, when you cancel your subscription pursuant to Section 7.2. We have no obligation to make Your Content available to you in any form after termination or cancellation.
6. Work Requests.
6.1 Work Requests. The Service includes a “Smartsourcing” tool that allows you to submit requests to an on-demand work force for completion of simple tasks (“Work Requests”). When you place a Work Request through our Service, we use Amazon.com’s “Mechanical Turk” and/or other third party services to submit your Work Requests to third parties who may wish to perform such tasks (“Service Providers”).
6.2 Our Role; Disclaimer. We act as your agent in paying Service Providers for Work Requests in the amounts you authorize via the Service. Otherwise, we have no role in your transactions with Service Providers; our Service simply provides a venue where you can submit Work Requests to Service Providers. We neither screen nor recommend any Service Providers, and we have no control over the quality or legality of the work provided by Service Providers. We make no representations as to the ability of Service Providers to complete Work Requests to your satisfaction, or the willingness of Service providers to complete Work Requests at the prices you set. When you submit Work Requests, you do so entirely at your own risk.
6.3 Service Fees for Work Requests. When you submit a Work Request, you set the price you are willing to pay. Amounts payable to Service Providers are due and payable when you accept the work performed. The Service permits you to approve or reject work from Service Providers; work is automatically approved if not rejected within a certain period of time. We charge additional Service Fees (beyond the amounts you agree to pay Service Providers) for placing your Work Requests; these Service Fees are due and payable as described on our Site. All Service Fees for Work Requests are nonrefundable once paid. More detail about Service Fees for Work Requests is available on our Smartsourcing how-to page (http://www.smartsheet.com/product/smartsourcing).
6.4 Release of Claims With Respect to Work Requests. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT INVOLVED IN TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR SERVICE PROVIDERS, YOU HEREBY RELEASE US, OUR LICENSORS, AND OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS (AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, AGENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES) FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES (ACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND OTHERWISE) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR SERVICE PROVIDERS.
7. Subscription Renewals and Cancellations.
7.1 Renewal. Your initial subscription period (monthly or annual) for the Service is established when you purchase a subscription. Unless you notify us that you wish to cancel in accordance with Section 7.2, your subscription will automatically renew for successive subscription periods of the same length. Unless we separately agree otherwise in writing, we charge Subscription Fees in advance at the beginning of each subscription renewal period. You may view your current subscription plan and billing information at any time in your Account Administration settings.
7.2 Cancellation. Once a subscription period (initial or renewal) commences, all Subscription Fees paid for that period are nonrefundable. You may cancel your subscription at any time before the end of the then-current subscription period using the cancellation procedure we provide through the Service, in which case your subscription will not renew and we will not charge any additional
Page 4 of 7
Subscription Fees. When you cancel a subscription, we will maintain a free account for you to use the Service, but your paid subscription will terminate, and your access to Sheets you created will cease.
8. Service Fees; Payment; Taxes.
8.1 Service Fees. You agree to pay the fees in effect for your subscription at the time initially purchased or renewed, along with any fees for additional services (such as Work Requests) that you agree to pay while using the Service (collectively, “Service Fees”). Current pricing for subscription plans is available on the Pricing page (http://www.smartsheet.com/pricing) of our Site. Unless we separately agree otherwise in writing, all Service Fees for subscriptions are payable in advance prior to the commencement of each subscription period. Other Service Fees become due and payable as described on our Site or in this Agreement.
8.2 Billing Information. When you register for the Service, you will provide us with either a valid, up-to-date credit card number or the other payment information we request. If you have selected a credit card or Paypal as your payment method, you authorize us to charge your credit card (or Paypal account, as applicable) for Service Fees on the first day of your initial subscription period and each renewal subscription period and, for any additional Service Fees beyond your subscription fee (for example, Service Fees for Work Requests), to charge your credit card when such fees become due and payable. You are responsible for maintaining up-to-date payment information on our Site. If we cannot charge your credit card for any Service Fees when due because your payment information is no longer valid and up-to-date, or if we do not receive your payment when due through the alternative payment method you have selected, we may, at our election: (a) suspend your access to the Service, in which case you will be responsible for all Service Fees incurred during the period of suspension; (b) immediately terminate this Agreement, in which case your right to use the Service will cease; or (c) without waiving our rights to suspend or terminate your account, allow you a longer period during which to make payment, in which case you will remain responsible for all Service Fees incurred while we await your payment. Late payments incur interest charges at the rate of 1% per month on any outstanding balance or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. The Service Fees shown on our Site do not include any local, state or federal taxes or duties. Except for our income taxes and gross receipts taxes, you acknowledge that you are responsible to pay such taxes (if any). If we collect sales tax or other taxes from you, we will identify the portion of your payment attributable to such taxes.
9. Referral Rewards Program. If you participate in our Referral Rewards Program, your participation in the program is governed by our Referral Rewards Program Agreement (https://www.smartsheet.com/files/ReferralRewardsAgreement.pdf). The Referral Rewards Program Agreement forms a part of, and is incorporated by reference into, this Agreement. If this Agreement conflicts with the Referral Rewards Program Agreement in any respect, the term of this Agreement will control.
10. Term and Termination.
