Untap owns and runs Untap Compete (http://untapcompete.com); a submission management software used by organizations to quickly build and manage competition and call for applications websites and workflows.
If a Customer ordered one of Untap Compete’s paid service plans detailed on http://untapcompete.com/pricing , Untap Compete acts as the provider of
a) the submission management platform,
b) the setup and configuration services, and
c) the ongoing technical support throughout the duration of the Competition or Call for Application created in accordance with the selected service plan.
Untap Compete lets organizations easily and quickly plan, launch and manage online prize-based competitions and calls for applications. It streamlines the process of building a dedicated website, receiving and managing submissions, engaging with participants, and evaluating entries.
Untap Compete provides an engine for setting up and customizing a website for a competition or call for applications that can include any content and updates. The website also includes an “Apply Now” page for interested participants to sign up (or log in) to their accounts and make a submission.
In addition to the website, Customer Admin(s) receive access to a dedicated submission management account on Untap Compete. The account enables the Admin to create new competitions or calls for applications and manage existing ones.
Interested participants can sign up to access their dedicated account and be able to submit their applications and monitor status updates regarding their submissions.
Admin(s) can send invitations to Judges in order to access their dedicated account and be able to evaluate submissions.
Every competition or call for applications on Untap Compete consists of at least one submission Round. The first Round would usually be open for anyone to apply to. The Round requires a submission form for interested participants to fill out.
It can also have an evaluation form with predefined evaluation criteria - each with an assigned weight - for judges to fill out. Those with the highest average scores are usually selected as Round Winners; they qualify to the next round.
The submission form and the evaluation form are both fully customizable. Submissions can include any number of PDF documents, images, and/or videos. Submissions can be of any size. Feedback of the Judges can be visible to the Participants on their accounts.
Untap always supports in inserting the content on the website and in setting up the submission and evaluation forms in addition to getting the Admin(s) fully acquainted with the system.
Through Untap Compete, Untap provides paying customers with the following depending on the selected service plan:
nder certain service plans, Untap assigns an onboarding specialist to oversee the delivery of the Setup Services. The goal of the onboarding specialist is to facilitate a guided, controlled, coordinated, and informed engagement.
Untap’s obligations under these terms are subject to the following assumptions:
Ownership of Customer-owned Deliverables. Untap agrees that the Customer will own all rights, title, and interest in the Content and Data generated by the Competition or Call for Applications, including the Intellectual Property Rights subsisting in those data. The Customer hereby grants to Untap, a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable (upon breach) license to use the data only to the extent required for Untap to provide the necessary Setup, Management, Technical Support in addition to work on Untap Compete’s Product Development, Enhancement, Updates, and Upgrades.
Untap is committed to never sharing or disclosing any Customer-owned Data or Content without being granted the Customer’s written consent to do so (except as may be required for the performance of services under this Agreement or as may be required by law).
The parties acknowledge that any Configuration Services provided under these Terms primarily involve the configuration of the Customer’s subscription to Untap Compete and not the creation of any Deliverables.
The Customer will not obtain any rights, title or interest in any Untap Background IP, whether or not it is incorporated into, or used in connection with creating or developing, a Competition or a Call for Applications. Untap retains ownership to the Deliverables created or developed by Untap in connection with providing the Platform and Untap Background IP (together, the “Untap Materials”).
Untap and the Customer respectively agree to keep in confidence, and not to disclose or use for its own respective benefit or for the benefit of any third party (except as may be required for the performance of services under this Agreement or as may be required by law), any information, documents, or materials that are reasonably considered confidential regarding each other’s products, business, customers, clients, suppliers, or methods of operation; provided, however, that such obligation of confidentiality will not extend to anything in the public domain or that was in the possession of either party prior to disclosure. Untap and the Customer will take reasonable precautions to safeguard property of the other entrusted to it, but in the absence of negligence or willful disregard, neither Untap nor the Customer will be responsible for any loss or damage.

For Customers that purchase our Services, fees are specified on our Pricing page http://untapcompete.com/pricing — and must be paid in advance via Credit Card through our Payment Gateway Integration with Accept (https://www.weaccept.co).
Payment obligations are non-cancelable and, except as expressly stated in the Contract, fees paid are non-refundable. In the event the Customer downgrades any subscriptions from a paid plan to a free plan, the Customer will remain responsible for any unpaid fees under the paid plan, and Services under the paid plan will be deemed fully performed and delivered upon expiration of the initial paid plan subscription term. If we agree to invoice Customer by email, full payment must be received within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases, except for those taxes based on our net income. Should any payment for the Services be subject to withholding tax by any government, Customer will reimburse us for such withholding tax.
If any fees owed to us by Customer (excluding amounts disputed reasonably and in good faith) are thirty (30) days or more overdue, we may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, downgrade any fee-based Services to free plans until those amounts are paid in full, so long as we have given Customer ten (10) or more days’ prior notice that its account is overdue. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a downgrade will result in a decrease in certain features and functionality.
A free subscription continues until terminated, while a paid subscription has a term that may expire or be terminated. The Contract remains effective until all subscriptions ordered under the Contract have expired or been terminated or the Contract itself terminates. Termination of the Contract will terminate all subscriptions.
Unless an Order Form says something different, (a) all subscriptions automatically renew (without the need to go through the Services-interface “check-out” or execute a renewal Order Form) every month as long as the Competition or Call for Application is running and not deemed concluded or expired. Upon the conclusion of the Customer’s Competition and/or Call for Application, no monthly fees will be deducted.
Untap Compete will identify a Competition and/or Call for Application as concluded in the case of the following conditions:
Either party can also give the other notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of a subscription term to stop the subscriptions from automatically renewing. Customer can send us an email on [email protected] to give us notice.
We or the Customer may terminate the Contract on notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches the Contract and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides notice of the breach. Customer is responsible for its Authorized Users, including for any breaches of this Contract caused by its Authorized Users. We may terminate the Contract immediately on notice to Customer if we reasonably believe that the Services are being used by Customer or its Authorized Users in violation of applicable law.
Customer may terminate its free subscriptions immediately without cause. We may also terminate Customer’s free subscriptions without cause, but we will provide Customer with thirty (30) days prior written notice.
Upon any termination for cause by Customer, we will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all subscriptions after the effective date of termination. Upon any termination for cause by us, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of those subscriptions after the effective date of termination. In no event will any termination relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees payable to us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
Any amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by Untap and the Customer.
Any notice shall be deemed given on the day of sending an email.
This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Arab Republic of Egypt without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. Jurisdiction and venue shall be solely within the Arab Republic of Egypt.
