Security

Our Services may be used to implement agreed levels of firewall protection and DDoS protection in relation to your Deployment Environment.

Monitoring

Our Services may be used to monitor use of CPU, memory, storage and network on each relevant server or load balancer within your Deployment Environment and alert you when relevant events occur (for example, if the Application does not respond at appropriate intervals).

Your Content

By posting or publishing your content or comments or transmitting your data (“Content”) through our Services, you give us permission to display and distribute your Content in order to provide the features, functionality and services of the Service. By posting and publishing your Content, you represent and warrant that your Content does not infringe, violate or misappropriate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right.

A violation of this Agreement can lead to termination and removal of your Account without notice.

Payment

When you first sign-up and register to use the Services, you will have an initial 14 day free trial period. Your access to the Service will be suspended immediately on expiry of the free trial period for which you have subscribed. If you wish to continue using our Service after the end of the free trial period, you must provide us with your credit card details prior to the expiry of the free trial period to guarantee uninterrupted and continuous access to, and use of, the Service.

We shall charge you monthly in arrears for Services provided by us. Charges shall be in accordance with our pricing policy which can be found at www.cloud66.com (or as such URL that we may provide or notify you of from time to time).

For all Services purchased following the expiry of the 14 day free trial period, we will charge your credit card on a monthly basis (or such other interval as notified to you) in arrears for the Services that you choose to subscribe to.

If you are late in paying any charges, then in addition to any other rights we may have we may charge you interest on the amount overdue at the rate of 8% per year. We may charge such interest for the period before, as well as after, any judgement we obtain for payment of all or part of the sums concerned.

We reserve the rights to amend our Service charges by notifying you at least fourteen (14) days prior to the billing cycle to which such change would take effect. Any amendments or updates to the Service charges shall be posted to the website.

We charge for our Service as long as you have an account with us. We do not monitor your usage of the Service for the charges and you are responsible for deleting your account when you stop using the Service. We cannot refund you for Services not used if you do not delete your account once you stopped using the Service. You can find out more about our Fair Refund Policy.

If you are located in the European Union, we might adjust our advertised USD prices for our products and services based on ECB exchange rates + Margin without notice. This Margin in no circumstances shall exceed 5% of the total.

When you pay for our services annually, we add this payment (multiplied by our annual discount rate) as an Annual Credit to your account. This credit can only be used to pay for our products and not your Support Plans or other services rendered. Any unused credit will expire one year after the payment was made regardless of your usage. If you use this credit sooner than one year, we will charge your credit card if you continue to use the service after that point at our monthly prices.

From time to time, we might issue other forms of credit to your account. Usually these are gestures of goodwill. We reserve the right to cancel these types of credit at any time without prior notice. These types of credit will always expire no longer than 1 year after they are issued.

Termination of this agreement and deletion of your account

In the circumstances set out below, we may terminate the agreement with you immediately and delete your account and prevent you from re-registering. We will usually try and notify you before we do this, but we do not have to do so and in circumstances that we regard as appropriate we may delete your account without notice. The circumstances in which we may terminate our agreement with you and delete your account are:

  • If you fail to comply with any of these terms.
  • If we have reasonable cause to believe that you are using the Services to do anything unlawful, or otherwise to enable or in relation to any unlawful conduct.
  • If you fail to pay us on time in accordance with these terms.

In addition to the above rights of termination, we may at our discretion terminate provision of any or all of the Services by not less than fourteen (14) days' notice to you.

You may terminate the provision of any or all of the Services immediately by cancelling your account with us through your account portal on our website.

In the event that either party terminates these terms (for whatever reason), we shall invoice you for your use of the Services up to and including the date of termination.

Use by us of any personal data that is provided by you (including any information that you give us on registration and any information derived from your use of the Services) will be in accordance with our privacy policy.

This may happen if one or more of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside the EEA or one of our service providers is located in a country outside the EEA. Use of your account ID.

Once you have registered and have a log-on ID (including a username and password or other identifier), please do not give this information to anyone else or allow anyone else to use it. Unless you have notified us that something has happened to cause a risk of unauthorized use of your ID, then any activities that occur under your ID will be treated as if they were carried out by you.

Please notify us immediately via our website if anyone else has become aware of your ID in circumstances in which there is a risk of misuse or if you have any reason to believe that there is any other risk of any unauthorized use of your account. We may disable any log-on ID at any time if, in our opinion (acting reasonably):

  • you have not complied with any of these terms;
  • any details you provide for the purposes of registering as a user are or may be false; or
  • there is any other risk to the security or integrity of the Services.

We shall use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that the Services are available at all times, but we do not guarantee:

  • the continuous, uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Services; or
  • that the Services will perform with any particular speed or to any particular standard (since the standard of performance of the Services depends in part on a number of factors outside our control).

We may suspend the operation of the Services for the purposes of routine or emergency maintenance and support, for security reasons or if we have any other reasonable grounds for doing so. If the operation of the Services are suspended for any reason, status notifications will be provided as soon as reasonably possible to our:

We may change the design, features and/or functionality of the Services at any time. We shall give you as much notice as reasonably possible for any such change, but may do so without notice if reasonably necessary to ensure the continued operation, integrity, security or lawfulness of the Services.

Except as expressly set out in these terms, we do not give or enter into any representation, condition, warranty or other term as to the accuracy, completeness, currency, correctness, reliability, integrity, quality, or fitness for purpose of any of the Services and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all implied conditions, warranties or other terms of any kind are hereby excluded. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of you or anyone else that arises from the use of the Services.

Use of your admin ID with third party service providers

In order for us to perform the Services, you may need to give us the account ID's, API keys and/or API Secrets and passwords for all of the relevant third party service providers that you use for the Applications. If you do not provide us with these details, we may not be able to provide you with all (or some) or the Services.

Where you have entered into a subscription agreement with a third party provider in respect of your Applications, that subscription agreement will not apply to the Services provided by us. Our Services are provided and delivered from an alternative infrastructure from that of any third party provider, and any representations or commitments by such third party providers regarding the security of availability of its services or products do not apply to our Services.

Where, with your permission, we have admin access to your Deployment Environment or Backup Environment and, as part of managing the deployment of your Application, we scale the deployment of your Application up or down, you are responsible for paying any relevant additional or other charges imposed by the relevant service provider as a result.
