These terms and conditions (the “Product Terms”) are made and entered into on the Effective Date by execution of a sign up (”Sign Up”) to the chatSheets platform, or by using chatSheet’s services or software, (the “Agreement”) by and between Kyndling Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales under company number 12115079 and having its registered offices at 2 Sutherland Road, Flat 7, London, W13 0DT, United Kingdom (“chatSheets”) and the entity referred to as the “Customer” at Sign Up or completion of a Sales Order, whichever happens first (the “Customer”).

If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an entity, such as the company you work for, then you represent to chatSheets that you have the legal authority to bind the Customer to this Agreement. If you do not have authority or if the Customer does not agree with the terms to this Agreement, then you may not indicate acceptance of this Agreement, and neither you nor Customer may use or access any of chatSheets service offerings or other services.

chatSheets provides video and action tracking softare for Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets users. The Customer wishes to start with a free and, at the Customers discretion, subsequently paid subscription-based license to access and use the software platform and tools via one or more “Sales Orders” under and subject to this Agreement.

If you do not agree to these Product Terms, then do NOT use the chatSheets service.
