DocuSign will use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to prevent unlawful or unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure of Customer Data in accordance with the provisions of DocuSign’s Security Attachment for DocuSign Signature found at: https://www.docusign.com/company/terms-and-conditions/schedule-docusign-signature/attachment-information-security.

5.  SUBSCRIPTION PLANS AND FEES

DocuSign Signature is made available on the basis of a prepaid subscription, which is subject to the restrictions set forth in the applicable Order Form.

5.1   “Seat Allowance” means the maximum number of Authorized Users (“Seats”) that Customer may have active in its Account. For purposes of determining usage of Seats:

(i) The number of Seats in use is determined by the total number of Authorized Users registered in Customer’s Account with access to DocuSign Signature at any time during the Term.    

(ii) No two individuals may log onto or use DocuSign Signature as the same Authorized User, but Customer may unregister or deactivate Authorized Users and replace them with other Authorized Users without penalty, so long as the number of active Authorized Users registered at any one time does not exceed the number of Seats purchased. 

5.2   “Envelope Allowance" means the cumulative number of Envelopes that may be sent by Authorized Users registered in Customer’s Account. There is no individual limit on number of Envelopes that may be sent by each Authorized User, so long as the total volume sent by all Authorized Users does not exceed the Envelope Allowance.  For purposes of calculating Envelope usage:

(i)  An Envelope is consumed when sent by an Authorized User, regardless of whether the Envelope has been received by any recipients or whether any recipients have performed any actions upon any eDocument in the Envelope;

(ii)  Usage of a Powerform will be applied against the Envelope Allowance. A Powerform will be deemed consumed at the time it is accessed by any user regardless of whether any actions are subsequently performed upon such Envelope. “Powerform” means an Envelope that may be accessed and completed by accessing a hyperlink (i.e. which does not need to be individually sent to each recipient);

(iii)  An Envelope sent via bulk send or automated batch sending, including through a DocuSign API, will be applied against the Envelope Allowance. 

5.3  Calculation of Envelope Allowance.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form, the Envelope Allowance for each twelve (12) month period during the Order Term is calculated by multiplying the Seat Allowance times one hundred (100) Envelopes. For example, a three (3) year subscription for ten (10) Seats would result in an Envelope Allowance of one thousand (1000) Envelopes per year. An Envelope Allowance may be augmented by purchasing additional Seats (each of which supply an additional one hundred (100) Envelopes unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form) or additional batches of Envelopes, pursuant to an Order Form.

5.4  Overage.

(a)  Seats.  If Customer adds more Authorized Users than the amount permitted under the Seat Allowance, then Customer hereby agrees that additional charges of one Seat per additional Authorized User for the remainder of the Order Term will become immediately due and payable.  Additional Seats will be charged as a pro-rata portion (calculated based on the amount of time remaining in the Order Term) of the then-current list price for Seats under the applicable subscription type, or such other amount as is specified in the Order Form, and will include a pro-rata allocation of Envelopes. 

(b)  Envelopes.  Customer hereby agrees that all Envelopes sent in excess of the Envelope Allowance during the Term will incur a per-Envelope overage charge at the then-current list price for the applicable subscription type, or such other amount as is specified in the Order Form. Envelope overage charges will be invoiced monthly in arrears.

5.5  Optional features, such as Authentication Measures or fax-back services, may be purchased on a subscription or per-use basis, as set forth in the Order Form.  

6.  PCI DSS

6.1  DocuSign Signature may be ordered with payments functionality, and to the extent applicable, DocuSign represents that it is presently in compliance, and will remain in compliance, with the current Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”), developed and published jointly by American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa (“Payment Card Brands”) for protecting individual credit and debit card account numbers or related data (“Cardholder Data”). 

6.2  DocuSign acknowledges that Cardholder Data is owned exclusively by Customer, credit card issuers, the relevant Payment Card Brand, and entities licensed to process credit and debit card transactions on behalf of Customer, and further acknowledges that such Cardholder Data may be used solely to assist the foregoing parties in completing a transaction, supporting a loyalty program, providing fraud control services, or for other uses specifically required by law, the operating regulations of the Payment Card Brands, or this Service Schedule.

6.3  Customer represents that it is responsible for compliance with the PCI DSS, developed and published jointly by the Payment Card Brands for protecting Cardholder Data as it relates to their payment processes and use of Cardholder Data.
