By way of example only, and not as a limitation, "LMS Solutions" and the LMS Solutions logo are registered trademarks of LMS Solutions, Inc. under the applicable laws of the United States and/or other countries. Other LMS Solutions product or service names or logos appearing in this web site are either trademarks or registered trademarks of LMS Solutions, Inc. and/or its affiliates. The absence of a product or service name or logo from this list does not constitute a waiver of LMS Solutions, Inc.'s trademark or other intellectual property rights concerning that name or logo.

2 - Products

The Products are provided subject to these Terms and Conditions of Use, as they may be amended by LMS, and any guidelines, rules or operating policies that LMS may establish and post from time to time (collectively, the "Agreement"), including without limitation LMS's customer Privacy Policy (unless otherwise stated, all references to the Agreement shall include the Privacy Policy). By posting updated versions of the Agreement on the LMSsolutions.biz web site, or otherwise providing notice to you, LMS may modify the terms of the Agreement and may discontinue or revise any or all other aspects of the Products in its sole discretion.

You may from time to time provide LMS's service personnel with remote access to your computers and other systems for the purpose of troubleshooting issues that arise in your use of the Products.

You further agree and acknowledge that LMS may terminate such Third Party Service's ability to interact with the Products at any time, with or without notice, and in LMS's sole discretion, with no liability to you or to the third party.

3 - Changes to the Agreement

Because international, federal, state, and local laws, as well as the business environment, periodically change, LMS reserves the right to amend the Agreement and its prices in its sole and absolute discretion on any future projects. By accepting the terms of the LMS Solutions Partner Program Agreement, a partner agrees to abide by all amendments or modifications that LMS elects to make.

5 - Waiver

The Company never gives up its right to insist on compliance with the Agreement and with the applicable laws governing the conduct of a business. No failure of LMS to exercise any right or power under the Agreement or to insist upon strict compliance by an LMS Solutions Partner with any obligation or provision of the Agreement, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms of the Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of LMS's right to demand exact compliance with the Agreement. Waiver by LMS can be effectuated only in writing by an authorized officer of the Company. LMS's waiver of any particular breach by an LMS Solutions Partner shall not affect or impair LMS's rights with respect to any subsequent breach, nor shall it affect in any way the rights or obligations of any other LMS Solutions Partner. Nor shall any delay or omission by LMS to exercise any right arising from a breach affect or impair LMS's rights as to that or any subsequent breach.

The existence of any claim or cause of action of an LMS Solutions Partner against LMS Solutions, Inc. shall not constitute a defense to LMS Solutions, Inc.’s enforcement of any term or provision of the Agreement.

LMS will accept the instructions of any individual who claims to be authorized to direct changes to your account so long as such person presents your username and password or provides other appropriate account identifying information as determined by LMS in its discretion, by email or by phone, or through a Third Party Service, if any, through which you access the Products.

All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only team members who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
