Terms of Service

Last updated: January 1, 2025

Agreement to Terms of Service

These Terms and Conditions of Service (the “Terms of Service”) apply to the Inscriptiv contract management platform (the “Inscriptiv Platform”) which is currently provided at www.inscriptiv.com (the “Inscriptiv Website”) and any other tools or features provided thereon (collectively, the “Inscriptiv Services”). The Inscriptiv Services are the property of Inscriptiv, Inc. (“Inscriptiv”). BY USING THE INSCRIPTIV SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE INSCRIPTIV SERVICES.

Inscriptiv reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of these Terms of Service, at any time. It is your responsibility to check these Terms of Service periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Inscriptiv Services following the posting of changes will mean that you accept and agree to the changes.

Description of the Inscriptiv Services

The Inscriptiv Platform is a document management platform designed specifically for labor unions. You may use the Inscriptiv Platform to store, manage, annotate and share files.

The Inscriptiv Services are designed cooperatively with labor partners and is built using a sustainable, cooperative model grounded in respect, shared ownership and transparency, motivated by growing our power rather than profit.

Access Rights and Restrictions

The Inscriptiv Services are not authorized for use by any corporation, association, organization, or other person (collectively, an “entity”) that:

  1. opposes the unionization of workers in any context, including but not limited to its own workforce (whether or not such workforce is covered by the protections of the National Labor Relations Act (the “NLRA”) and whether or not they are deemed independent contractors, employees, or any other categorization); for the avoidance of doubt, this provision is not intended to preclude licensing to an entity that is an employer of unionized workers and that exercises its established rights under the NLRA or other applicable labor laws in the resolution of a contract dispute; or
  2. advocates in federal, state, or local bodies for anti-worker policies such as “right-to-work” legislation, referenda, or other measures.

Additionally, the Inscriptiv Services are not authorized for use for any purpose that:

  1. opposes or diminishes in a material respect the rights or ability of working people to form unions and bargain collectively with their employers; or
  2. seeks to interfere with a union’s established collective bargaining relationship with an employee that has either been recognized by the employer or has been certified by the National Labor Relations Board or other federal or state agency as the collective bargaining representative for the employee.

Subject to your compliance with the Terms of Service, Inscriptiv grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to access and use the Inscriptiv Services. You agree that you will not use, or attempt to use, the Inscriptiv Services for anything other than the Purpose. If you are or become an unauthorized entity or you use the Inscriptiv Services for an unauthorized purpose (as defined above), your right to access and use the Inscriptiv Services will be immediately terminated.

You further agree not to: (a) alter the Inscriptiv Services in any way; (b) disassemble, decompile, reverse-engineer or create derivative works of the Inscriptiv Services; (c) remove any notices from the Inscriptiv Services including any copyright or trademark notice; (d) use the Inscriptiv Services for any unlawful or criminal purpose, including but not limited to, storing, reproducing or distributing any content in violation of any law or third-party’s intellectual property rights; or (e) gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Inscriptiv Services.
