In this Agreement “You” and “Your” refer to You, as the user of Our Services, or any agent, employee, servant or person authorized to act on Your behalf. “We”, “us” and “our” refer to Chainkloud, Inc., as well as its subsidiaries and sister companies (“Chainkloud”). This Agreement explains Our obligations to You, and explains Your obligations to Us for various services offered by Chainkloud. When You Use Your account or permit someone else to Use it to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional Chainkloud service(s) or products or to cancel Your Chainkloud service(s) (even if We were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement covers such service or actions. Chainkloud’s Terms of Service agreement (“TOS”) is incorporated herein by reference and is applicable to all Services under this Accepted Use Policy.

By using our services, you hereby agree to accept and abide by all of the following terms and conditions:

As a condition of purchasing and using hosting plans, You acknowledge and agree that Chainkloud may provide Your personal information to their partners, as necessary to provide You with the selected products and services. The provided information falls into the following categories: (a) Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions made by You in order to receive Our electronic newsletter & marketing communication, and (b) Information Chainkloud gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout Our sites. This information allows Us to better tailor Our content to users’ needs and to help Our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of Our audience. Because Chainkloud derives its revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing such aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping Our select services free to users. Under no circumstances does Chainkloud divulge any information about an individual user to a third party. Further information regarding the nature of information shared by Chainkloud can be obtained by reviewing the Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant to Chainkloud that: Your content does not and shall not contain any content, materials, data, work, trade or service mark, trade name, link, advertising or services that actually or potentially violate any applicable law or regulation or infringe or misappropriate any proprietary, intellectual property, contract or tort right of any person and that You own Your account content and all proprietary or intellectual property rights therein, or have express written authorization from the owner to copy, use and display the content on and within Your server account. You also represent and warrant that the server content being hosted by Chainkloud shall not be used in connection with any illegal activity.

You expressly (i) grant to Chainkloud permission to cache the entirety of the content that is submitted, stored, distributed or disseminated by you via the Services and your website, including content supplied by third parties, hosted by Chainkloud under this agreement; and (ii) agree that such caching is not an infringement on any of your intellectual property rights or any third party’s intellectual property rights.

Chainkloud will use its best efforts to maintain a full time Internet presence for Your account. You hereby acknowledge that the network may, at various time intervals, be down due, but not restricted to, utility interruption, equipment failure, natural disaster, acts of God, or human error. In no event shall Chainkloud be liable to You for any damages resulting from or related to any failure or delay of Chainkloud in providing access to the Internet under this Agreement. In no event shall Chainkloud be liable to You for any indirect, special or consequential damages or lost profits arising out of or related to this Agreement or the performance or breach thereof. The aggregate, total liability of Chainkloud under this Agreement, if any, shall in no event or circumstance exceed the total amount actually paid by the Account Holder hereunder. The terms of this Section will survive the termination of this Agreement.

This Agreement applies to all accounts, sub-accounts, and alternative account names associated with Your principal account. You are responsible for the use of each account, whether used under any name or by any person, and for ensuring full compliance with this Agreement by all users of that account. A Chainkloud account may not be transferred without prior written approval from Chainkloud.

You may receive a refund according to our Refund Policy

Chainkloud may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon Your failure to pay charges when they become due. Such termination or denial will not relieve You of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection fees.

If Your account becomes overdue, the account will be suspended. And it won’t be reactivated until the outstanding balance is paid in full. In the event that any amount due Chainkloud remains unpaid on the date when services expire, Chainkloud may immediately terminate this agreement, and/or withhold Services for non-payment.

If an account is found to be in violation of the Terms of Service, it will be terminated immediately and all payments forfeited.
