3. eDOCUMENT STORAGE AND DELETION

3.1 Default Storage. By default, Docusign will store all completed eDocuments (including any Customer Data contained in an eDocument) sent by Customer for the duration of the Term, or until Customer deletes the eDocument, whichever occurs first. If Customer requires a different retention/deletion schedule, Customer has the option through its Account Administrator to change its Account settings to direct the deletion of all or certain designated eDocuments at an earlier date or periodic interval.

3.2 Retrieval of eDocuments. During the Term, Customer may retrieve electronic copies of its stored eDocuments at any time for no additional cost. If Customer fails to retrieve its eDocuments (including Customer Data contained in an eDocument) prior to the expiration or termination of the Service Schedule, Customer may request, no later than ninety (90) days after such expiration or termination, that Docusign provide Professional Services to assist in retrieving completed eDocuments still remaining in the System, the details of which Professional Services will be set out in a SOW. If Customer does not contact Docusign to initiate such retrieval within such ninety (90)-day period, then, after such ninety (90)-day period has ended, Docusign shall have no obligation to retain or provide any eDocuments (including any Customer Data contained in the eDocument) and Docusign shall have the right to delete all Customer’s Account and  eDocuments (including any Customer Data contained in the eDocuments) in the System or otherwise in Docusign’s possession or under its control.

3.3 Transaction Data. Docusign may retain Transaction Data for as long as it has a business purpose to do so, provided that any Transaction Data that constitutes Confidential Information of Customer will at all times maintain that status, and Docusign will comply with its confidentiality obligations as provided in the Agreement.

4. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS AND FEES. Docusign eSignature is made available based on a prepaid subscription, which is subject to the restrictions set forth in the applicable Order Form.

4.1 “Seat Allowance” means the maximum number of Authorized Users (“Seats”) that Customer may have active in its Account as assigned by Customer’s Account Administrator. For purposes of determining usage of Seats:

(a) The number of Seats in use is determined by the total number of Authorized Users registered in Customer’s Account with access to Docusign eSignature at any time during the Term.

(b) No two individuals may log onto or use Docusign eSignature as the same Authorized User, but Customer through its Account Administrator may unregister or deactivate Authorized Users and replace them with other Authorized Users without penalty, so long as the number of active Authorized Users registered at any one time does not exceed the number of Seats purchased. 

4.2 “Envelope Allowance" means the cumulative number of Envelopes that may be sent by Authorized Users registered in Customer’s Account. There is no individual limit on the number of Envelopes that may be sent by each Authorized User, so long as the total volume sent by all Authorized Users does not exceed the Envelope Allowance. For purposes of calculating Envelope usage:

(a) An Envelope is consumed when sent by an Authorized User, regardless of whether the Envelope has been received by any recipients or whether any recipients have performed any actions upon any eDocument in the Envelope;

(b) Usage of a Powerform will be applied against the Envelope Allowance. A Powerform will be deemed consumed at the time it is accessed by any user regardless of whether any actions are subsequently performed upon such Envelope. “Powerform” means an Envelope that may be accessed and completed by accessing a hyperlink (i.e. which does not need to be individually sent to each recipient); and

(c) An Envelope sent via bulk send or automated batch sending, including through a Docusign API, will be applied against the Envelope Allowance. 

4.3 Calculation of Envelope Allowance for Seat Plans. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form, the Envelope Allowance for Seat plans for each twelve (12)-month period during the Order Term is calculated by multiplying the Seat Allowance times one hundred (100) Envelopes. For example, a three (3)-year subscription for ten (10) Seats would result in an Envelope Allowance of one thousand (1000) Envelopes per year. An Envelope Allowance may be augmented by purchasing additional Seats (each of which supply an additional one hundred (100) Envelopes unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form) or additional batches of Envelopes, pursuant to an Order Form.

4.4 Overage

(a) Seats. If Customer through its Account Administrator adds more Authorized Users than the amount permitted under the Seat Allowance, then Customer hereby agrees that additional charges of one Seat per additional Authorized User for the remainder of the Order Term will be charged accordingly. Additional Seats will be charged as a pro-rata portion (calculated based on the amount of time remaining in the Order Term) of the then-current list price for Seats under the applicable subscription type, or such other amount as is specified in the Order Form, and will include a pro-rata allocation of Envelopes. 

(b) Envelopes. Customer hereby agrees that all Envelopes sent in excess of the Envelope Allowance during the Term will incur a per-Envelope overage charge at amount specified on the then-current Order Form or at the then-current list price for the applicable subscription type if the amount is not included on the Order Form.

4.5 Optional features. Optional features, such as authentication measures or fax-back services, may be purchased on a subscription or per-use basis, as set forth in the Order Form.

In addition to any other warranty in the Agreement, Docusign warrants that the proper use of Docusign eSignature by Customer in accordance with the Documentation and applicable law will be sufficient to meet the definition of an “electronic signature” as defined in the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96 §§ 7001 et seq.
