Welcome to GovPort!
GovPort is a cloud-based collaboration and artifact management platform which makes it easier for contractors to communicate, collaborate and streamline work. Since GovPort is cloud-based, you can access the platform through the web and via any number of device types (e.g., desktop, laptop, tablets, and smartphone) that you choose.
This document, the GovPort Terms of Service ("Terms"), outlines the terms regarding your use of our product. These Terms are a legally binding contract between you and GovPort so please read carefully. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not register, or use any of the Services.
By using, accessing, or browsing the GovPort Service, platform and product including applications, websites or other properties owned or operated by GovPort or by registering for a GovPort account ("Services") you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms for the Services provided by GovPort ("GovPort" or "we").
If you are utilizing the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising to GovPort that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms (in which event, "you" and "your" will refer to that organization) unless that organization has a separate paid contract in effect with us, in which event the terms of that contract will govern your use of the Services.
In order to use the Service, you must be legally permitted to accept these Terms.

2. CHANGES TO THESE TERMSWe reserve the right to modify these Terms. We will post the most current version of these Terms at www.GovPort.com (the "Site"). If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you via the Services and/or by email to the address associated with your account. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using and cancel your account by emailing cancel@govport.com. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these Terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms.

When registering with GovPort you must: (a) provide true, current, and complete information about yourself on the registration form and (b) maintain such information so it continues to be true, current, and complete.
You are entirely responsible for all materials and information that you upload, share, or otherwise transmit via the Service (please also see our Acceptable Use Policy in Section 10).
4. EMAIL SELECTED FOR YOUR ACCOUNTIf an organization provided you with your account (e.g., an employer or, if you’re a service provider like a law firm or bank, then your client), or if you agree to have your account managed by an organization, you understand that this organization has rights to your account and may: (a) manage your account (including suspending or canceling); (b) reset your password; and (c) view your usage and profile data, including how and when your account is used.

6. ARTIFACTSWe refer to all electronic documents that you upload and store on your account as "Artifacts". All Artifacts uploaded by you into your account are yours! We do not control, verify, or endorse the Artifacts that you or others put on the Service. You are responsible for: (a) all Artifacts in your GovPort account(s) and that you share through the Service and (b) ensuring that you have all the rights you need in relation to the Artifacts. In addition, by storing, utilizing, or sharing Artifacts you confirm that you will not violate any law or these Terms (please also see the Acceptable Use Policy in Section 10). You agree that when you share your Artifacts, you may be allowing other people to access and use your Artifacts in any way without further restriction or compensation to you. You agree to provide GovPort (as well as agents or service providers acting on GovPort's behalf to provide the Service) the right to transmit, process, use and disclose Artifacts and other information which we may obtain as part of your use of the Service but only: (i) as necessary for us to provide the Service, (ii) as otherwise permitted by these Terms, (iii) as otherwise required by law, regulation or order, and/or (iv) to respond to an emergency.

8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATIONDuring your use of the Service, GovPort may share with you information that is confidential, sensitive or should be kept secret. For example, if we tell you about our product roadmaps, product designs and architecture, technology, and technical information, provide you with security audit reviews, business, and marketing plans, or share with you our business processes, these should always be considered confidential to GovPort.
Similarly, we agree that your Artifacts, credit card/banking information and information contained in your account are confidential to you. Also, if either of us provide any documents to the other that are labeled "confidential" (or something similar) or provide information (either in writing or verbal) that is of a type that a reasonable person should understand to be confidential such information is to be treated as confidential information.
However, if you tell us information that: (a) we already know at the time you tell us; (b) was told to us by a third party who had the right to tell us; (c) is generally available to the public; or (d) was independently developed by us without using any of your confidential information, then that information will not be considered confidential. The same goes for information that we tell you that falls into any of these categories.
Lastly, we both agree that: (i) we will treat each other’s information with the same degree of care that we treat our own confidential information; (ii) will use each other’s confidential information only in connection with these Terms and the Services; (iii) only share the information with others who have a need to know and who have agreed in writing to treat it as confidential (as we’ve outlined in this section); and (iv) not share the information with any third party except as allowed in these Terms or through the Services. Of course, confidential information will always remain the property of its owner.
