You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us using the contact information below. You understand that any User-Generated Content (as defined below) you have provided may remain in our back-up systems and may continue to be accessible by those with whom you have shared Projects or Project documents. Upon any termination of your account or these Terms you must immediately stop accessing and using inSpec.

8. Sharing Projects and Project Documents. You understand that you, alone, are responsible any Projects you configure, create, arrange, or develop using inSpec. inSpec allows you to share access to your Projects via email with other inSpec users at your company (i.e., anyone who uses the same email domain as you do). For this reason, please make sure you use your company email address when signing up for inSpec. Those recipients will be able to use the link in that email to view, edit, and save any Projects you send them and will be able to share access to those Projects (and to certain Project documents) with others, whether or not they have an inSpec account. inSpec also allows you to share links to certain types of Project documents (e.g., specification sheets and P-schedules) via email with individuals who do not have the same email domain as you do, regardless of whether or not that person has an inSpec account. Those recipients will be able to view and download the Project documents you send them. The emails generated when you choose to share Projects or Project documents with others may not be encrypted and we cannot guarantee that those emails or their links are completely secure. As such, there is some risk that information and links contained in those emails (including access to Projects and Project documents) may be misdirected, disclosed to, or intercepted by unauthorized third parties. By choosing to share Projects or Project documents with others, you accept and consent to these risks. Please note that the links generated when you choose to share Projects or Project documents via email with others will only work for a limited period of time. Recipients who need to access Projects or Project documents after those links expire should download the applicable documents using the provided link. Additionally, please keep in mind that, once recipients have access to Projects or Project documents that you share with them, you will not have any control over how or with whom those recipients may decide to further share those Projects or Project documents. If you delete or modify Projects or Project documents in inSpec, you understand that the unmodified versions may remain in our back-up systems and that individuals with whom you have shared or who have otherwise accessed those unmodified Projects or Project documents may continue to have access to and use them.

9. Additional Terms for Zurn Sales Reps. If you are a Zurn sales representative (“Sales Rep User”) and are using inSpec in your capacity as a Zurn sales representative, then these Terms are incorporated into the sales representative agreement in place between you and Zurn. To the extent any provision of that agreement conflicts with any provision of these Terms with respect to your access to or use of inSpec, the sales representative agreement will control. You will not disclose to any person or entity any confidential information of any inSpec user or other actual or prospective Zurn customer to which you have access via inSpec, including without limitation Projects and Project documents. Additionally, inSpec allows Sales Rep Users to share full access to Projects via email with others, even if they do not use the same email domain as you do. As discussed above for inSpec users generally, you understand that, when you share access to Projects, the recipients will be able to view, edit, and save any Projects you send them and will be able to share access to those Projects (and to certain Project documents) with others, whether or not they have an inSpec account.
