SGI Online Terms and Conditions

These SGI Online Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") consist of the "General Terms" and "Product Specific Terms" described below. All use of the electronic and online services provided by Sauder Global (referred to as "SGI" or "us"), including but not limited to the SGI WorldView® portal, any future releases or successors, and all accessible products and services through the portal (collectively, the "Online Services"), is subject to the General Terms. By using any of the Online Services, you agree to the General Terms.

If you use any of our products or services available through the Online Services, as specifically referenced under "Product Specific Terms," you also agree to the applicable Terms mentioned there. In case of any conflict between the General Terms and any applicable Product Specific Terms, the Product Specific Terms will take precedence. The terms of each separate agreement governing your business relationship with SGI (each referred to as a "Client Agreement") will also apply to your use of the Online Services in connection with that relationship, and the Terms are incorporated in full into such Client Agreement by reference. Unless otherwise specified in the Terms, in case of a conflict between the terms of the Terms and those of any applicable Client Agreement, the provisions of the Terms will prevail.
