Accredital reserves the right to limit the number of transfers of each seat. If Accredital discovers that Client Users are sharing seat access to the Service with other Client employees or contractors who have not been provisioned access (each, an “Unauthorized User”), this will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Accredital will have the right to assign any unused seats purchased by Client to the Unauthorized Users to remedy Client’s breach. If there are no unused purchased seats, Accredital reserves the right to assess a fee equal to 1.5 times the prorated cost of the Additional Premium Seat.
Each Authorized User may be logged into Our Service from up to three (3) different browsers or computers (the “Devices”) at the same time. Should Client exceed the Device limit, Client will be notified through the Service and prompted to log out of at least one (1) other active session before proceeding.
Client may add additional seats at any time during an applicable Service Term. For clarity, additional seats will be added only for the duration of the applicable Service Term and the associated fee set forth on the applicable Order Form will be prorated accordingly. Upon Client’s notice of intent to add additional seats and immediate payment of invoice, Accredital will add the number of seats requested.
