Terms of Service

Welcome to the online service of Botkeeper, Inc. ("Botkeeper," "we," or "us"). These terms of service (these "Terms") explain the terms by which you may use our online and/or mobile services, web site, and software provided on or in connection with the service and platform (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, by clicking a button or checking a box marked "I Agree" (or something similar), or by signing an order form with Botkeeper (a "Service Order") specific to you or your organization, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and the Service Order which is hereby incorporated by reference (collectively, the "Agreement"), whether or not you are a registered user of the Services. However, to the extent Customer signed an offline variant of the Agreement for use of the Services, the terms below do not apply to Customer, and Customer's offline terms govern its use of the Services; provided that Customer's Authorized Users are still subject to these Terms. Botkeeper reserves the right to modify these Terms and will provide notice of material changes as described below. These Terms apply to all visitors and users of the Services, including individuals authorized by a Customer (defined below) to use the Services ("Authorized Users"), the Customer, and to all others who access the Services (collectively, with Authorized Users, "you" or "your").

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROVISION IN SECTION 15.2 AND A JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION IN SECTION 15.3 THAT REQUIRE, THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND US, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS THAT AROSE OR WERE ASSERTED BEFORE YOU AGREED TO THESE TERMS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON YOUR CLAIMS, AS WELL AS YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 

If you subscribe to, or access or use the Services, create an organization, invite users to that organization, or use or allow use of that organization after being notified of a change to these Terms, you acknowledge your understanding of the then-current Agreement and agree to the Agreement on behalf of Customer. Please make sure you have the necessary authority to enter into the Agreement on behalf of Customer before proceeding.

1. General Provisions

1.1 Customers, Authorized Users, and Customer Content. 

"Customer" is either the individual signing the Service Order, or the organization such individual represents in agreeing to the Agreement. If you signed up for a subscription plan as a Customer using your corporate email domain or are otherwise entering into a subscription plan on behalf of a business entity or other organization, the business entity or other organization on whose behalf you signed up is the Customer. By signing up on behalf of your business entity or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have all right, power, and authority to bind such entity or organization to the Agreement. Anyone under contract, including employees of organizations under contract, with Botkeeper pursuant to a Service Order is considered a Customer. For clarity, if you are considered a Customer, you may not also be an Authorized User.

Customers and/or Authorized Users may submit content or information to the Services or to Botkeeper's representatives, which includes information about an identifiable individual ("Customer Personal Data") and User Content (defined below) (User Content, collectively with Customer Personal Data, "Customer Content"), and Customer will have the sole right and responsibility for managing Customer's use of it. Customer will be solely responsible for all of the acts and omissions of its Authorized Users in relation to the Services and the Agreement. 

1.2 Eligibility

This is a contract between you, as a Customer or an Authorized User of a Customer, and Botkeeper, pursuant to these Terms. You must read and agree to these Terms before using the Services. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services. You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with Botkeeper, and only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. The Services are not available to any Customers or Authorized Users previously removed from the Services by Botkeeper.

The Services are not intended for and should not be used by anyone under the age of 13. Customer must ensure that all Authorized Users are over 13 years old.

Customer will (i) inform Authorized Users of all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to their use of the Services and of any settings that may impact the processing of Customer Content; and (ii) obtain all rights, permissions or consents from Authorized Users and other Customer personnel that are necessary to grant the rights and licenses in the Agreement and for the lawful use and transmission of Customer Content and the operation of the Services.

1.3 Subscriptions

A subscription allows Customer and its Authorized Users to access the Services. A subscription may be procured through contacting Botkeeper and signing a Service Order. Subscriptions commence when we make them available to Customer and continue for the term specified in Section 5 (the "Subscription Period"). 

1.4 Beta Products

Occasionally, we look for beta testers to help us test our new features. These features will be identified as "beta" or "pre-release," or words or phrases with similar meanings (each, a "Beta Product"). Beta Products are made available on an "as is," and "as available" basis and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, without any warranties or contractual commitments we make for other services.

1.5 Feedback

Customer and its Authorized Users may choose to, or we may invite them to, submit comments or ideas about the Services, including about how to improve the Services or our products ("Ideas"). By submitting any Idea, Customer agrees that its disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place us under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that we are free to use the Idea without any additional compensation, whether to Customer, the Authorized User, or anyone else, and/or to disclose the Idea on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone. Customer further acknowledges that, by acceptance of the submission, we do not waive any rights to use similar or related Ideas previously known to us, or developed by our personnel, or obtained from sources other than Customer or its Authorized Users.

1.6 Privacy Policy and Protection of Personal Data

By using the Services, you understand and acknowledge that your personal information will be collected, used, disclosed, and otherwise processed as set forth in our Privacy Policy

We care about the integrity and security of your personal information. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information, or any personal information of others that you make available through the Services, at your own risk.

2. Services Usage and Restrictions

2.1 Our License to Customer
 
(a) Ownership of the Services, Documentation, and Botkeeper Data

We own and will continue to own the Services and Documentation (defined below), including all related intellectual property and other proprietary rights related thereto. Further, you acknowledge and agree that we may collect data relating to Customer's and its Authorized Users' usage of the Services ("Usage Data") and collect, analyze, and use data derived from Customer Content that has been aggregated and/or anonymized such that it does not identify Customer or any identifiable individual person ("Derivative Data" and, collectively with Usage Data, "Botkeeper Data"). All Botkeeper Data will be owned solely and exclusively by us, and, for purposes of clarity, you agree that we may use the Botkeeper Data in perpetuity for any purpose permitted by applicable law.

We may, from time to time, make available certain third-party products and services, including open-source software ("Third-Party Products") for use in connection with the Services. Such Third-Party Products may be made available under separate or additional terms and conditions, including open-source licenses, which we will make available to you as necessary.

(b) Licenses to the Services and Documentation

During the Subscription Period, we grant the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use, and to permit Authorized Users to access and use the Services, in accordance with the Agreement, for the Customer's own internal business purposes.

To the extent that we may make downloadable software components available, via app stores or other channels, as part of the Services, during the Subscription Period, we grant to Customer a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive, limited license for Customer and its Authorized Users to use the object code version of these components, but solely as necessary to use the Services. Minor updates, bug fixes, and the like to such downloadable software components will be included under this license for the duration of the subscription.

From time to time we may make available product documentation for the Services (the "Documentation") via a method of our choosing (e.g., via the Services). During the Subscription Period, we grant to Customer a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive, limited license for Customer and its Authorized Users to use the Documentation to support Customer's and its Authorized Users' use of the Services.

All rights and licenses granted herein are subject to you and your Authorized Users' full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. All rights in the Services and Documentation not expressly granted herein are expressly reserved by us.

2.2 Customer's Licenses to Us

(a) Ownership of Customer Content

As between us on the one hand, and Customer and its Authorized Users on the other, Customer will own all Customer Content, including, for purposes of clarity, Customer Personal Data and User Content. 

(b) License to Customer Personal Data

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Customer (for itself and all of its Authorized Users) grants Botkeeper and its subcontractors and service providers a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited term license to access, use, process, copy, distribute, perform, export and display Customer Personal Data, only as reasonably necessary (i) to provide and maintain the Services; (ii) to prevent or address service, security, support or technical issues; (iii) as required by law; and (iv) as expressly permitted in writing by Customer, including in any applicable order. Customer represents and warrants that it has secured all rights in and to Customer Personal Data from its Authorized Users and customers or any third parties as may be necessary to grant this license. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer agrees that we may collect, analyze, use and disclose, during or after the Subscription Period, data derived from Customer Personal Data, which is anonymized and/or aggregated in a manner, that makes the identification of Customer or any Authorized User or third party impossible, for any business purpose, including to operate, analyze, improve, and market the Services and our other products and services and share such anonymized data with our affiliates and business partners. Customer further agrees that we will have the perpetual right to use, store, transmit, distribute, modify, copy, display, sublicense, and create derivative works of such derived data.

(c) License to User Content

With respect to that portion of Customer Content that consists of images, designs, comments, questions, documents, spreadsheets, and any other content submitted, or otherwise made available by Customer and/or its Authorized Users through the Services or to Botkeeper's representatives ("User Content"), by submitting, storing, or otherwise making such User Content available through the Services or to Botkeeper's representatives, you grant, and represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant (including any necessary consents and authorizations from individual persons identified in the User Content and licenses from third parties whose content is included in the User Content), to us a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, translate, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works of all such User Content, in whole or in part, and in any form, media, or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for use in connection with (i) our provision of the Services as described in the Agreement, (ii) improvement of the Services, and (iii) our product documentation. 

2.3

To the extent permitted under applicable law, we take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Customer Content that Customer or any Authorized User or third party submits or otherwise makes available in connection with the Services. As between Customer and us, Customer shall be fully responsible for the Customer Content and the consequences of submitting or otherwise making it available via the Services, and Customer acknowledges and agrees that we are acting only as a passive conduit for Customer's and its Authorized Users' distribution of such User Content.

2.4 Responsibilities for Customer Content

We are not responsible for the content of any Customer Content or the way Customer or its Authorized Users choose to use the Services to store or process any Customer Content once Customer approves final format. Customer represents and agrees that Customer is solely responsible for (i) providing notices and obtaining consents as legally required from its Authorized Users and its customers for the collection, use, processing and transfer of Customer Content in connection with the Services; and (ii) ensuring compliance with all laws in all jurisdictions that may apply to Customer Content provided hereunder, including (a) all applicable international, federal, state, provincial and local laws, rules, and regulations relating to data privacy and security, and (b) all relevant self-regulatory guidelines and principles, if applicable. Botkeeper shall have no responsibility or liability related to the accuracy, content, currency, completeness, or delivery of the Customer Content provided by Customer or its Authorized Users. Customer is responsible for the accuracy, content, currency, completeness, and delivery of the Customer Content uploaded and/or input by its Authorized Users, and Customer warrants that the Customer Content posted by its Authorized Users is accurate, current, and complete. Customer Content may be accessed by Botkeeper employees in the Philippines. Customer shall provide Botkeeper with copies of any consents or other materials as may be requested by Botkeeper, as relevant and applicable, and shall use any consent forms that may be required by Botkeeper. Customer represents and warrants that Customer has all the rights necessary for Customer to grant the rights herein, and the use of Customer Content does not violate any law. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, Customer may not submit any Customer Content that includes any information which may be subject to specific data privacy and security laws including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HiTECH), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), or the GDPR or any other data which is considered to be sensitive or which could give rise to notification obligations under data breach notification laws. We do not make any representations as to the adequacy of the Services to process your Customer Content or to satisfy any legal or compliance requirements which may apply to your Customer Content, other than as described herein. 

2.5 Use of the Services

Customer must comply with the Agreement and ensure that its Authorized Users comply with the Agreement. We may review conduct for compliance purposes, but we have no obligation to do so. If we believe there is a violation of the Agreement that can be remedied by removal of certain Customer Content, we will, in most cases, ask Customer to take direct action rather than intervene. However, to the extent legally permissible, we reserve the right to take further appropriate action, when we deem it reasonably appropriate if Customer does not take appropriate action, or if we believe there is a credible risk of harm to us, the Services, Authorized Users, or any third parties. To the extent Customer chooses to remove or deactivate an account of one of its Authorized Users, Customer shall notify Botkeeper and may request that Botkeeper remove such Authorized Users' data.

2.6 Free Trial Account and Services

We offer paid subscription plans to Customers ("Paid Service Accounts"). We may choose to, in our sole discretion, offer a free trial, promotional offer, or other type of limited offer for use of our Paid Service Accounts via the Services (a "Free Trial"). To the extent we choose to offer a Free Trial, the duration of the Free Trial will be specified at sign-up. If Customer registers for a Free Trial, Customer may be presented with additional terms and conditions when registering Customer's account, and any such additional terms and conditions are hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference and are legally binding. Such Free Trial may not include access to all of the features or functions of the Services. Any data that Customer, or its Authorized Users, enter into the Free Trial may be permanently lost at the end of the trial period unless Customer (a) purchases a subscription plan for the Services, or (b) export such data before the end of the trial period.

At the time a Customer signs up for a Free Trial, Customer must provide a valid payment method in order to access the Free Trial. Customer's payment method will not be charged during the Free Trial. UNLESS CUSTOMER CANCELS ITS FREE TRIAL PRIOR TO EXPIRATION, CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE SUBSCRIBED FOR PAID SERVICES PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS UPON EXPIRATION OF THE FREE TRIAL, AND A SUBSCRIPTION FEE FOR THE SERVICES WILL BE CHARGED TO CUSTOMER'S PAYMENT METHOD. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT CANCELLATION AND HOW CUSTOMER CAN CANCEL ITS ACCOUNT, PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 5 OF THESE TERMS. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, including any service-specific terms and conditions applicable to any portion of the Services, during a Free Trial, the Services are provided "AS IS" and "as available" without any warranty, and BOTKEEPER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND BOTKEEPER'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO CUSTOMER'S, OR ITS AUTHORIZED USERS' USE OF THE FREE TRIAL IS $100.00. BECAUSE SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY AND FOR THE MINIMUM WARRANTY PERIOD ALLOWED BY THE MANDATORY APPLICABLE LAW.

2.7 Acceptable Use

Fees and taxes will be charged to your Payment Method on the specific payment date indicated in your Paid Service Account. In some cases, your payment date may change, for example, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled, if you changed your subscription plan, or if your subscription began on a date not contained in a subsequent month. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription in which you are enrolled, if applicable. Fees are fully earned upon payment. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of Service-related charges through various methods, including authorizing it up to one (1) month of service as soon as you register for the Service.

4.3 Third-Party Payment Processor.

We or Payment Processor will attempt to verify your Payment Method(s), and may do so by processing an authorization hold, which is standard practice. To the extent Payment Processor processes payments made by you, you will be subject to terms and conditions governing the use of Payment Processor's service. Please review such terms and conditions as well as Payment Processor's privacy notice (each of which is available on Payment Processor's website). You acknowledge and understand that Payment Processor may collect and retain third-party fees whenever you pay Fees. Payment must be received by Payment Processor before our acceptance of an order. For all payments, Payment Processor will collect your Payment Method details and charge your chosen Payment Method in connection with an order. If any of your account, order, or Payment Method information changes, you will promptly update such information, so that we or Payment Processor may complete your transaction(s) and/or contact you, as needed.

4.7 Upgrades. 

Customer may elect to upgrade a subscription during a Subscription Period but may not choose to downgrade a subscription until the Subscription Period expires or renews. Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Service Order, if Customer elects to increase usage within a Subscription Period, Customer shall notify Botkeeper of such increase in writing so that Botkeeper may invoice Customer for such additional usage, such addition will be billed on a pro-rata basis. For monthly subscriptions, the cost will be included in the Fees for the following monthly billing period. For annual subscriptions, the cost will be billed automatically at the time Customer upgrades and shall be payable upon thirty (30) days from receipt of a correct invoice.

4.8 Late Payments & Disputes. 

Botkeeper will notify Customer when Customer has a payment that is overdue. Customer will incur a monthly finance charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) for any balance that is overdue by thirty (30) days; access to the Services shall be suspended if past due amounts are over thirty (30) days past due. If a Customer fails to pay the overdue balance within ninety (90) days from the point at which the Services have been suspended, then Botkeeper may delete and expunge all Customer Content from its systems. Botkeeper is not responsible for the backup of Customer Content. Customer shall be responsible for any reasonable and documented costs incurred by Botkeeper in the collection of unpaid invoices that are more than ninety (90) days past due, including, but not limited to, collection and filing costs, notification procedures, and reasonable attorney's fees. If Customer disputes any portion of an invoice, Customer agrees to pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and to submit a written dispute within ten (10) business days of the invoice date. Customer's dispute must include written documentation to support the dispute. Upon receipt of a written dispute from Customer, the parties will attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiation. If the parties fail to resolve such dispute within sixty (60) days after delivery of such notice, then either party may seek arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 15.2. Customer's failure to submit a written dispute of charges within such time shall be deemed final acceptance of all charges.

Clean-up Services are assessed per the type of entity; pricing is available upon request. Clean-up Service fees will be invoiced as one-time, separate invoice(s).

Termination of the Agreement will terminate all subscriptions.

5.2 Auto-Renewal

Unless otherwise set forth on Customer's Service Order (a) all subscriptions automatically renew for additional periods equal to one (1) year for annual subscriptions, and one (1) month for month-to-month subscriptions, or the preceding Subscription Period, whichever is shorter; and (b) the per-unit pricing during any automatic renewal Subscription Period will be the then-current price communicated to you by us.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN TYPES OF WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE AGREEMENT GRANTS SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND CUSTOMER AND AUTHORIZED USERS MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

8. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY) EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE LAST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THE FOREGOING WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 4 ABOVE.

The limitations under this "Limitation of Liability" section apply with respect to all legal theories, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, and to the extent permitted by law. The provisions of this "Limitation of Liability" section allocate the risks under the Agreement between the parties, and the parties have relied on these limitations in determining whether to enter into the Agreement and the pricing for the Services.

10. Confidentiality for Customers

This Section 10 only applies to Customers and shall not apply to Authorized Users.

10.1 Definition

Each party ("Disclosing Party") may disclose "Confidential Information" to the other party ("Receiving Party") in connection with the Agreement, which is anything that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure as well as non-public business, product, technology and marketing information. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Content. Confidential Information of Botkeeper includes, but is not limited to, Botkeeper's related intellectual property and data, any information, or know-how (including, but not limited to, information relating to research, products, services, quantity, price, pricing, delivery, development, inventions, processes, engineering, marketing, techniques, customers, internal procedures, business and marketing plans or strategies, finances, employees and business opportunities). Confidential Information may be information which is marked as "con?dential" or "proprietary" or with a similar legend, information whose con?dential nature has been made known by Disclosing Party, orally or in writing, to the Receiving Party concurrently with the disclosure of such information, or information that, due to its character and nature, a reasonable person under like circumstances would treat as con?dential. Notwithstanding the above, Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

10.2 Protection and Use of Confidential Information

The Receiving Party will maintain the confidentiality of, and agrees to use the same care to prevent disclosure of, the Confidential Information as it employs to avoid disclosure, publication or dissemination of its own information of a similar nature, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. The Receiving Party further agrees to use the Confidential Information only in connection with and in furtherance of the business transactions contemplated by these Terms. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, directors, officers, affiliates, agents, subcontractors, attorneys, accountants or professional advisors, who have a need to have access to the Confidential Information in carrying out the business transactions contemplated by these Terms ("Representatives"). The Receiving Party will inform its Representatives of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the applicability of these Terms thereto and will obligate and direct its Representatives to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and otherwise to observe the terms of this Section 10.

10.3 Compelled Access or Disclosure

The Receiving Party may access or disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is required by law; provided, however, that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled access or disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the access or disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to access or disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing access to such Confidential Information as well as the reasonable cost for any support provided in connection with the Disclosing Party seeking a protective order or confidential treatment for the Confidential Information to be produced.

10.4 Ownership

All Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party will remain the property of the Disclosing Party, and except as otherwise provided in these Terms, the Receiving Party does not acquire any license, right, title, or interest in such Confidential Information.

10.5 Termination

Upon the termination or expiration of these Terms, the Receiving Party, upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, will: (a) destroy all documents and tangible materials (and any copies) containing, re?ecting, incorporating, or based on the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information; (b) permanently erase all of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information from its computer systems, provided that any copy that is maintained as an archive copy on a disaster recovery or information technology backup system may be retained so long as such Confidential Information is protected in accordance with this Section 10 for as long as the Confidential Information is retained; and (c) certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that it has complied with the requirements of this clause.

10.6 Remedies. 

The Receiving Party acknowledges that improper dissemination of Confidential Information may cause irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party and agrees that the Disclosing Party will have available to it, in addition to any other remedy provided by law, the right to apply for mandatory injunctive relief to enforce compliance by the Receiving Party with the provisions of these Terms.

11. Confidentiality for Authorized Users

This Section 11 applies only to Authorized Users and shall not apply to Customers.

The Services may include non-public, proprietary, or confidential information of Botkeeper and/or of other Users ("Confidential Information"). Confidential Information includes any information that should reasonably be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including non-public business, product, technology, and marketing information. Authorized Users will: (a) protect and safeguard the confidentiality of all Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as such Authorized User would use protect its own highly sensitive confidential information, but in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care; (b) not use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than to exercise such Authorized User's rights, or to perform its obligations, under these Terms; and (c) not disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity, except such Authorized User's service providers or financial or legal advisors who/that (i) need to know the Confidential Information and (ii) are bound by non-use and non-disclosure restrictions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section.

12. Your Use of Third-Party Services

THE SERVICES MAY CONTAIN LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES, MATERIALS, AND/OR SERVICES (COLLECTIVELY, "THIRD-PARTY SERVICES") THAT ARE NOT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY US, AND CERTAIN FUNCTIONALITIES OF THE SERVICES MAY REQUIRE YOUR USE OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. IF YOU USE A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, YOU ARE SUBJECT TO AND AGREE TO, AND MUST COMPLY WITH, THE THIRD PARTY'S TERMS AND CONDITIONS MADE AVAILABLE VIA, OR AGREED IN CONNECTION WITH, ITS SERVICES. WE DO NOT ENDORSE OR ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. IF YOU ACCESS A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE FROM THE SERVICES OR SHARE YOUR USER CONTENT ON OR THROUGH ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY NOTICE DO NOT APPLY TO YOUR USE OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE. YOU EXPRESSLY RELIEVE US FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND/OR USE OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE. ADDITIONALLY, YOUR DEALINGS WITH, OR PARTICIPATION IN PROMOTIONS OF, ADVERTISERS FOUND ON THE SERVICES, INCLUDING AS RELATES TO PAYMENT AND DELIVERY OF GOODS, AND ANY OTHER TERMS (SUCH AS WARRANTIES) ARE SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND SUCH ADVERTISERS. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY SORT RELATING TO YOUR DEALINGS WITH SUCH ADVERTISERS.

13. Release

You hereby release us from all claims, damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise), obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debts, and expenses, in each case of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of a dispute between you and a third party (including any other user of the Services) in connection with the Services. In addition, you waive any applicable law that says, in substance: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEASED PARTY."

14. No Professional Advice

The content provided through or in connection with the Services is designed to provide practical and useful information on the subject matter(s) covered. While such content may concern issues related to professional services, such content is not professional services advice. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any content that is included on the site(s) and/or the apps(s) or that is otherwise obtained in connection with the Services without seeking the advice of a professional who is licensed and/or qualified in the applicable subject matter(s). To the extent you use any tools via the Services which provide information or advice, you acknowledge and understand that there are certain risks inherent to the engagement hereunder, and your use of, and Botkeeper's provision of the Services, including any artificial intelligence functionalities, could result in inaccurate information or information not specified to your circumstances. You acknowledge that information provided via the Services is intended to be informative and should not be construed as advice to be relied upon in its sole capacity. Accordingly, we expressly disclaim all liability in respect of actions taken or not taken based on any content obtained in connection with the Services.

15. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

15.1 Governing Law

You agree that: (a) the Services will be deemed solely based in the State of Delaware; and (b) the Services will be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Delaware. These Terms will be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law governing these Terms, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (as it may be amended, "FAA") governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement below and preempts all state laws (and laws of other jurisdictions) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If the FAA is found to not apply to any issue that arises from or relates to the Arbitration Agreement, then that issue will be resolved under and governed by the law of the U.S. state where you live (if applicable), or the jurisdiction mutually agreed upon in writing by you and us. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Delaware for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Confidential Information, or intellectual property rights, as set forth in the Arbitration Agreement below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Delaware is the proper and exclusive forum for any appeals of an arbitration award, or for trial court proceedings in the event that the Arbitration Agreement below is found to be unenforceable. These Terms were drafted in the English language and this English language version of these Terms is the original, governing instrument of the understanding between you and us. In the event of any conflict between the English version of these Terms and any translation, the English version will prevail.

15.2 Arbitration Agreement
(a) General. 

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. This Arbitration Agreement applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and us that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly: (i) these Terms, including the formation, existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, and enforceability thereof; (ii) access to or use of the Services, including receipt of any advertising or marketing communications; (iii) any transactions through, by, or using the Services; or (iv) any other aspect of your relationship or transactions with us, directly or indirectly, as a user or consumer (each, a "Claim," and, collectively, "Claims"). This Arbitration Agreement will apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your consent to these Terms.

(b) Opting Out of Arbitration Agreement. 

This Section 15.2(b) applies to Authorized Users only. If you are not an Authorized User as defined herein then this Section does not apply to you. For clarity, this Section does not apply to Customers. If you are a new user, you can reject and opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within thirty (30) days of accepting these Terms by emailing us at human@botkeeper.com with your full, legal name and stating your intent to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement does not affect the binding nature of any other part of these Terms, including the provisions regarding controlling law or the courts in which any disputes must be brought.

(c) Dispute-Resolution Process. 

For any Claim, you will first contact us at human@botkeeper.com and attempt to resolve the Claim with us informally. In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a Claim after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve such Claim exclusively through binding arbitration by JAMS before a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator"), under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS (the "Rules"), except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com, where the Rules are available. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement will control. The arbitration will be conducted in the U.S. County where you live (if applicable) or Suffolk County, Massachusetts, unless you and Botkeeper agree otherwise. If you are using the Services for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing and administrative fees and Arbitrator fees in accordance with the Rules, and the award rendered by the Arbitrator will include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Services for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the Arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorneys' fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this would not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator will also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are, or whether any provision of these Terms is, unconscionable or illusory, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, and/or estoppel.

(d) Equitable Relief. 

NOTHING IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED AS: PREVENTING US FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM THE COURTS AS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR VIOLATION OF OUR DATA SECURITY, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; OR PREVENTING YOU FROM ASSERTING CLAIMS IN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT, PROVIDED THAT YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY AND SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND ADVANCES ON ONLY AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-COLLECTIVE, AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.

(e) Severability. 

If this Arbitration Agreement is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will have no impact on the remaining provisions of this Arbitration Agreement, which will remain in force, or on the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining Claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver below is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, because it would prevent you from seeking public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. All other claims for relief subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement will be arbitrated under its terms, and the parties agree that litigation of any dispute regarding the entitlement to public injunctive relief will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

15.3 Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. 

BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND BOTKEEPER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER. THE FOREGOING APPLIES TO ALL USERS (BOTH NATUAL PERSONS AND ENTITIES), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICES FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL, OR OTHER PURPOSES. THIS CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR ENTITY'S CLAIMS. YOU AND BOTKEEPER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED MAY NOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. 

16. Non-Solicitation

This provision is only applicable for Customers. Customer agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for six (6) months thereafter ("Restricted Period"), neither party will, without the other party's prior written consent, either directly or indirectly, on its own behalf or in the Services or on behalf of others, hire or engage is any solicitation of known employees or contractors who were engaged by the other party at any time during the one (1) year period prior to termination or expiration of these TOS ("Restricted Personnel"). The parties acknowledge that the hiring or engagement of any Restricted Personnel is likely to cause irreparable damage to Botkeeper or Customer, as applicable, that would be difficult or impossible to ascertain or prove. Accordingly, the parties agree that any breach of this Section 16 will obligate the soliciting party to pay the other party on demand, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the Restricted Personnel's annual salary. Each party agrees that this Section 16 does not provide for unreasonably large liquidated damages.

17. General Provisions

17.1 Notices. 

Except as otherwise specified in these Terms, all notices, permissions and approvals hereunder must be sent in writing to the person(s) indicated on the cover page and shall be deemed to have been given upon: (a) personal delivery, (b) the second business day after mailing, (c) the second business day after sending by confirmed facsimile, or (d) the first business day after sending by email (provided email shall not be sufficient for notices of termination or an indemnifiable claim).

17.2 Publicity. 

During the term of the Agreement, Customer and Botkeeper agree to allow for the mutual use of the other party's name, trademarks, or other identifying information in a good faith manner consistent with industry standards and strictly in connection with the marketing and promotion of such party's business and activities. Furthermore, each party acknowledges and agrees that it will not, and ensures that its af?liates will not, at any time make, publish, or communicate to any person or entity or in any public forum any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments, or statements concerning the other party or its af?liates or their respective businesses, or any of their respective employees, of?cers, and existing and prospective customers, suppliers, investors and other associated third parties. Authorized Users shall be prohibited from using any of Botkeeper's name, trademarks, or other identifying information without express prior written consent from Botkeeper.

17.3 Independent Contractor. 

The parties are and will remain independent contractors with respect to all performance rendered pursuant to these Terms. The provisions hereof are not intended to create any partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between the parties or between a party and the employees, agents, or independent contractors of the other party.

17.4 Assignment. 

Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer (including by operation of law or change of control) any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Botkeeper (which such consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that should Customer merge with, acquire, or be acquired by another entity, or sell all or substantially all of its assets (collectively, a "Combination"), it may do so upon written notice to Botkeeper, provided further that, the resulting combined entity may only use the Services within the scope of the Customer's operations at the time of the Combination. Botkeeper may freely assign the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under these Terms. Any purported assignment in violation of this provision shall be null and void. Subject to this Section 17.4, the Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the parties. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by Authorized Users without our prior express written consent from Botkeeper. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof will be null and void.

17.5 Force Majeure. 

Except for payment obligations, neither party shall be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance under these Terms to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by fire, flood, explosion, war, terrorism, strike, embargo, civil or military authority, act of God, or other similar causes beyond its control.

17.6 Waiver. 

Any term or provision of these Terms may be waived at any time by the party entitled to benefit thereof by a written instrument executed by such party. No delay on the part of the either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of either party of any right, power, or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. No course of dealing or failing of either party to strictly enforce any term, right or condition of these Terms in any instance will be constructed as a general waiver or relinquishment of such term, right, or condition.

17.7 Severability.

In the event that any provision of these Terms shall be held to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed, and the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

17.8 Counterparts. 

These Terms may be executed in two or more counterparts in electronic form each of which shall be considered an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

17.9 No Third-Party Rights. 

No provision of these Terms shall be deemed or construed in any way to result in the creation of any rights or obligation in any person not a party or not affiliated with a party to these Terms.

17.10 Provisions; Interpretation; Absence of Presumption; Currency. 

These Terms shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted. When the context may require, any pronouns used in these Terms shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns or pronouns shall include the plural. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of these Terms. All references to payments and dollar amounts refer to United States Dollars, and all payments hereunder shall be made in United States Dollars. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns the parties.

17.11 Entire Agreement; Amendment or Modification of Agreement. 

The provisions of these Terms contain the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. The preparation of these Terms has been a joint effort of the parties, and the resulting documents shall not, solely as a matter of judicial construction, be construed more severely against one of the parties than the other. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms may not be modified, altered, waived or amended, except by written agreement executed by both parties.

17.12 Survival. 

Any provision of these Terms, the performance of which requires that it be in effect after the expiration and/or termination of the Agreement, shall survive such expiration and/or termination and shall remain operative and in full force and effect, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Sections 1.4, 1.5, 2.1(a), 2.7, 3, 5.4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 14 through 16.

Botkeeper may keep track of the websites and pages our users visit within Botkeeper in order to determine what Botkeeper services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Botkeeper to you.

 

Automatically Collected Information

Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by Botkeeper. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of Botkeeper.

 

Use of Cookies

Botkeeper may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your computer by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, a cookie helps Botkeeper recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Botkeeper website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Botkeeper features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Botkeeper services or websites you visit.

 

Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals to websites with which the web browser communicates. Botkeeper does not currently recognize or respond to “do not track” signals. However, Botkeeper may in the future elect to recognize or respond to “do not track” signals.
