This End User License Agreement (also referred to as “
Agreement” or “
EULA”) contains the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the Service Offerings (“
Service”, “
Services”) and is an agreement between ScaleGrid, Inc. (“
ScaleGrid,” “
we”, “
us”, “
Company” or “
our”) and you or the entity you represent (“
you” or “
Customer”).
Our Services consist of cloud-based database management services and associated software. Customers choose to host the database on their own servers (or on servers owned by third parties with whom they are in direct contractual relationship) or on servers that are part of our cloud infrastructure, in each case using our cloud based software as a service.
This EULA takes effect when you click an “
I Accept” button or check box presented with these terms or, if earlier, when you use any of the Service Offerings (the “
Effective Date”). You represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor). If you are entering into this EULA for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us that you have legal authority to bind that entity. You may access and use the Service Offerings in accordance with this EULA and other policies that we may issue from time to time. You will adhere to all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to your use of the Service Offerings.
Third Party Content, such as software applications provided by third parties, may be made available directly to you by other companies or individuals under separate terms and conditions, including separate fees and charges. Because we may not have tested or screened the Third Party Content, your use of any Third Party Content is at your sole risk. Customers use their own data with our Service (“
Customer Data”). We do not access the Customer Data unless instructed to do so by the Customer or if required by applicable law.
As described in our Privacy Policy, we do not determine what data our Customers process through our Service, we do not control how those Customers process that data, and our core activities do not consist in regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale nor do they consist of processing on a large scale of “
special categories” of data or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offenses, pursuant to the EU General Data Protection Legislation (“
GDPR”). If Customer inputs or uploads to the ScaleGrid platform their Customer Data that includes personal information subject to the GDPR, the GDPR Data Processing Addendum (“
GDPR DPA”) available
here shall apply to both Customer and ScaleGrid with respect only to such processing of Customer Data.
If Customer inputs or uploads to the ScaleGrid platform their Customer Data that includes personal information subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, the CCPA Data Processing Addendum (“
CCPA DPA”) available
here shall apply to both Customer and ScaleGrid with respect only to such processing of Customer Data.
The GDPR DPA and CCPA DPA may be referred to individually and together, as applicable, as the “
DPA”. The DPAs do not apply to User Personal Information, as defined in the Privacy Policy. In the event of any conflict between the DPA and this Agreement (excluding the DPA), the terms of the applicable DPA shall apply solely with respect to such conflict. The Customer agrees that the input or upload of Customer Data to ScaleGrid may constitute a transfer of data to a country that is not considered to have an adequate level of protection under the GDPR. Should this be the case, the Customer undertakes that it has received and can demonstrate that is has received the necessary consents and authorizations for the transfer of the personal data. If the Customer does not wish to rely on consent as the lawful basis of transfer, they may contact ScaleGrid at
support@scalegrid.io and ScaleGrid will provide a set of standard contractual clauses that have been approved by the EU Commission for application in the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection.
To host Customer data, ScaleGrid automatically installs and administers software as requested by each Customer in an unmodified form. The software we install is available under various licenses, including MongoDB versions (released prior to Oct 15th 2018) 2.6.x or older, 3.0.8 or older, 3.2.21 or older, 3.4.17 or older, 3.6.8 or older and 4.0.3 or older, all of which are available under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (AGPL). A copy of the AGPL is available
here, and a copy of the source code corresponding to the versions installed by ScaleGrid are available at:
https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/releases.
To access the ScaleGrid Services, you must create an account associated with a valid email address and you may only create one account per email address. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, regardless of whether the activities are undertaken by you, your employees or a third party. We and our affiliates are not responsible for unauthorized access to your account. You agree to do each of the following: (i) comply with applicable law and this Agreement; (ii) pay when due the fees for the Services, (iii) use reasonable security precautions in light of your use of the Services, (iv) cooperate with ScaleGrid’s reasonable investigation of outages, security problems, and any suspected breach of this agreement, (v) keep your billing contact and other account information up to date; and (vi) immediately notify ScaleGrid of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. In the event of a dispute between us regarding the interpretation of applicable law or the terms set in this EULA, ScaleGrid’s reasonable determination shall control.
You are responsible for your use of ScaleGrid’s Services and all users that access your account to use our Services. You will not engage in any activity that disrupts or interferes with ScaleGrid’s Services or the networks connected to the Company. Reverse engineering the functionality or design of ScaleGrid (and any associated properties) is not permitted. You may not resell or sublicense the Services; ScaleGrid reserves all rights.
You will be deemed to have taken any action that you permit, assist or facilitate any person or entity to take related to this Agreement (“End User”), Your Content or use of the Service Offerings. You are responsible for End Users’ use of Your Content and the Service Offerings. You will ensure that all End Users comply with your obligations under this Agreement and that the terms of your agreement with each End User are consistent with this Agreement. If you become aware of any violation of your obligations under this Agreement by an End User, you will immediately terminate such End User’s access to Your Content and the Service Offerings.
You are responsible for providing customer service (if any) to End Users. We do not provide any support or Services to End Users.
You must maintain copies of all Your Content inputted into the Service. ScaleGrid adheres to its best practice policies and procedures to prevent data loss, including a regular system data back-up regime, but does not make any guarantees that there will be no loss of Your Content. ScaleGrid expressly excludes liability for any loss of your Content no matter how caused.
If You enable third-party applications for use in conjunction with the Services, you acknowledge that ScaleGrid may allow the providers of those third-party applications to access Your Content as required for the interoperation of such third-party applications with the Services. ScaleGrid shall not be responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Your Content resulting from any such access by third-party application providers.
If You have access to the servers that host the database, then You agree that installing any software on the server, without Scalegrid’s written approval, is an Unapproved Modification. You also agree that installing or configuring software in a way that is not fully and correctly licensed by You by the relevant IP holder(s), even if it would be otherwise allowed by ScaleGrid, is also an Unapproved Modification.
Upon any termination of this Agreement you remain responsible for all fees and charges you have incurred through the date of termination, including fees and charges for in-process tasks completed after the date of termination; all of your rights under this Agreement immediately terminate. You may also retrieve “Your Content” from the Services only if you have paid any charges for any post-termination use of the Service Offerings.
You agree that the Company has the permission to charge your credit card on a monthly, annual, or other basis that you agreed to at the time you signed up, after or in advance of providing Services. Payment is due upon invoicing where applicable. Service may be interrupted on accounts that reach 14 days past due. Accounts that are not collectable by the Company may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection; you will be responsible for all reasonable collections costs and fees in addition to amounts owed. The Company retains the rights to change ScaleGrid’s Services’ specified rates from time to time with due notice. Charges are not refundable unless they are proved to be incorrect. Charges for rendered service are non-refundable.
All fees and charges payable by you are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. You will be solely responsible for paying any applicable VAT. We will apply the tax exemption certificates to charges under your account occurring after the date we receive the tax exemption certificates. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify us and will pay us any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that we receive, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, you will provide us with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.
You are responsible for properly configuring and using the Service Offerings and taking your own steps to maintain appropriate security, protection and back-up of Your Content, which may include the use of encryption technology to protect Your Content from unauthorized access and routine archiving Your Content. ScaleGrid’s log-in credentials and private keys generated by the Services are for your internal use only and you may not sell, transfer or sublicense them to any other entity or person, except that you may disclose your private key to your agents and subcontractors performing work on your behalf.
