Software as a Service Client Agreement
This Software as a Service Client Agreement (“SaaS Agreement”) is entered into by Stylescape Inc. d/b/a EDITED (“EDITED”) with offices at 27 E 28th Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10016 and (“Client”).

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, EDITED will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Client the Services Offerings identified on the Order Form. Any conflicting terms in an SD or Order Form that override parts of this SaaS Agreement will be identified in the SD or Order Form accepted by the Client and only apply to that specific transaction.
I. Service Offerings
- A Service Offering is an EDITED offering provided by EDITED and made available via a network, designed to be available 24/7 subject to maintenance. EDITED will provide prior notification of scheduled maintenance.
- Client accepts an Order Form by accepting, using, or making a payment for the Service Offering. When EDITED accepts Client’s Order Form, EDITED provides Client the items specified in the Order Form.
- EDITED grants to Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide, revocable license to use the Service Offerings in accordance with this Agreement.

Each Service Offering is described in a SD.
- EDITED, in its sole discretion, may from time to time make modification to the Service Offerings. Such modification will replace prior versions of the Service Offering. The intent of any modification will be to (i) upgrade or enhance the Service Offering; or (ii) maintain alignment with current adopted standards or applicable law. Modifications will not degrade data protection features of the Service Offering.
