Welcome! Global Connect’s mobile application and website (available at connect.globalp.com) are owned and operated by Global Companies LLC and its affiliates, including without limitation, Global Montello Group Corp. (collectively, “Global”, “we” or “us”).

By using the Services, you are electronically signing these Terms. You understand and agree that your electronic signature is the legal equivalent of your manual signature.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY OF THESE TERMS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
WHEN DO THESE TERMS APPLY?
These Terms apply to your use of the Global Connect mobile application and connect.globalp.com website. For simplicity, we refer to these as “Services.”
Certain Services may be governed by additional terms and conditions presented in conjunction with them. You must agree to the additional terms and conditions before using these Services. These Terms and the additional terms and conditions will apply equally.
If you purchase product from Global pursuant to a written contract, the terms and conditions of such contract are made a part of, and incorporated by reference into, these Terms.
To the extent that any additional terms and conditions are inconsistent with any provision of these Terms, the additional terms and conditions will prevail but solely to the extent of that inconsistency.
WILL THESE TERMS EVER CHANGE?
The Effective Date of these Terms is set forth at the beginning. We are constantly trying to improve the Services. As we add new features, we may revise or supplement these Terms. We will provide you with at least 10 days’ advance notice of any revision to these Terms that we believe is material by posting a notice in the Services, sending you an email or by some other means that we believe will notify you. We will not make revisions that have a retroactive legal effect unless we are legally required to do so or to protect other users of the Services. Your continued use of the Services after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of these Terms, as amended. As of the Effective Date, the amended Terms supersede all previous versions of, or agreements, notices or statements about, these Terms.

You understand that Global owns the Services. We license (but do not sell) the Services to you.
DO I HAVE TO GRANT ANY LICENSE OR OTHER RIGHTS TO GLOBAL?
Anything you send, upload, share, store or otherwise provide through the Services is your “User Information.”
In order to enable us to provide you with the Services as described in these Terms, you grant Global a license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, such as to ensure that submissions are viewable on your Device) and reproduce and otherwise act with respect to User Information. This is a license only – your ownership in your User Information is not affected. Also, your license to us is subject to our Privacy Policy to the extent that your User Information contains personal information.
If you provide us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestion, improvement, enhancement and/or features relating to the Services (each of the foregoing, a “Submission”), then you grant Global the license above, as well as all other rights necessary for Global to enhance its services by incorporating your Submissions.

WILL GLOBAL EVER CHANGE THE SERVICES?
We’re always trying to improve the Services so they may change over time.

We reserve the right to remove any Content or User Information from the Services in our sole discretion and without notice.
WHAT IF I WANT TO STOP USING THE SERVICES
You may stop using the Services at any time for any reason.
Global reserves the right immediately to suspend or terminate your access to the Services without notice if Global believes you violated these Terms. Global has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.
We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your access to the Services so that you are able to retrieve any important User Information (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone’s safety or security or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of Global.
If you have deleted a Global mobile application or your Account by mistake, please contact us at globalconnectsupport@globalp.com or by telephone at 1-800-685-7222. We will try to help, but unfortunately cannot promise that we will be able to recover or restore anything.
Any provision of these Terms that, by its nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following provisions will survive termination: any limitation on our liability; terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights; any obligation you have to pay us; and terms regarding disputes between us.
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?
Warranty Disclaimer: WHILE GLOBAL ENDEAVORS TO PROVIDE THE MOST ACCURATE, UP-TO-DATE, AND RELIABLE SERVICES AND CONTENT, THE SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED BY GLOBAL “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GLOBAL AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS AND ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EQUITY HOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, PARENT ENTITIES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATED ENTITIES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS AND LICENSORS (“GLOBAL PARTIES”) ARE AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (SUCH AS LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SERVICES OR CONTENT.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR ANY WRITTEN CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU OR YOUR EMPLOYER AND GLOBAL, IN NO EVENT WILL GLOBAL PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100.00).
IF ANY OF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE FOUND TO BE INVALID, GLOBAL PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
You acknowledge and agree that the above limitations of liability together with the other provisions in these Terms that limit liability are essential terms and that Global would not be willing to grant you the rights set forth in these Terms but for your agreement to the above limitations of liability.
Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts, tribunals, agencies and other dispute resolution organizations in Boston, Massachusetts, USA in all disputes (a) arising out of, relating to, or concerning the Services and/or these Terms, (b) in which the Services and/or Terms are at issue or a material fact, or (c) in which the Services and/or Terms are referenced in a filing with a court, tribunal, agency or other dispute resolution organization.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND GLOBAL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
You agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.
YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, THE CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Global Parties from any and all liability including costs, expenses, the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and any insurance provider and attorneys' fees brought against any of them by any third party arising out of or related to your violation of these Terms or use of the Services. Global reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification hereunder. No settlement that affects the rights or obligations of Global may be made without Global’s prior written approval.
Global agrees to indemnify you for any direct damages that you suffer arising out of or related to any suit, action of proceeding by a third party to the extent such direct damages arise from a claim that your use of the Services in compliance with these Terms infringes a third party’s U.S. patent, copyright or trademark right.
Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Global’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without your consent.
Services Platform Terms. When you download the Services from a third-party applications store (the “Services Platform”), you acknowledge and agree that:
U.S. Government Rights. The Services are commercial computer software, as such term is defined in 48 C.F.R. §2.101. Accordingly, if you are an agency of the U.S. Government or any contractor therefor, you receive only those rights with respect to the Services as are granted to all other end users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. §227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. §227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. §12.212, with respect to all other U.S. Government licensees and their contractors.
Miscellaneous Legal Terms. You are responsible for paying, withholding, filing and reporting all taxes, duties and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Services (if any). The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further right hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Global agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Global and that these Terms supersede all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. If Global is or you are prevented from performing or unable to perform any obligation under these Terms due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of the party invoking this provision, the affected party’s performance for other than payment will be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence. The headings and captions contained herein are for convenience only. These Terms and all related documentation are drafted in English. While certain text in these Terms may be made available in languages other than English (whether translated by a person or solely by computer software), the English language version controls. Except as expressly set forth in the Services Platform Terms subsection, you and Global agree that there are no third party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.
