This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Perscale Services.

  1. Use of the Perscale Services
    1. You may not use the Perscale Services if you are a person barred from receiving the Perscale Services under the laws of the United States or other countries, including the country in which you are a resident or from which you use the Perscale Services. You affirm that you are over the age of 13, as the Perscale Services are not intended for children under 13.
    2. You agree that your purchases of Perscale Services are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Perscale or any of its affiliates regarding future functionality or features.
  2. Your Account and Use of the Perscale Services
    1. You must provide accurate and complete registration information any time you register to use the Perscale Services. You are responsible for the security of your passwords and for any use of your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account, you agree to notify Perscale immediately.
    2. Your use of the Perscale Services must comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, including any laws regarding the export of data or software.
    3. You agree not to (a) access (or attempt to access) the administrative interface of the Perscale Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Perscale in connection with the Perscale Services, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Perscale, or (b) engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Perscale Services (or the servers and networks which are connected to the Service).
    4. You may use the Perscale Services only to develop and run applications on the Perscale infrastructure. You may not access the Perscale Services for the purpose of bringing an intellectual property infringement claim against Perscale or for the purpose of creating a product or service competitive with the Perscale Services.

    3. You agree that you will protect the privacy and legal rights of the End Users of your application. You must provide legally adequate privacy notice and protection for End Users. If End Users provide you with user names, passwords, or other login information or personal information, you must make the users aware that the information will be available to your application and to Perscale.
  4. Fees for Use of the Perscale Services
    1. Subject to the Terms, some Perscale Services such as online demos are provided to you without charge up to certain limits. Usage over this limit requires your purchase of additional resources or services. The pricing for additional resources and services is available by request to [email protected] (or via a URL as Perscale may provide).
    2. For all purchased resources and services, we will either charge your credit card on a monthly basis or collect payment via other methods as agreed to in writing and described in a Perscale invoice provided to you. Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). Charges are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes and government charges, and all reasonable expenses and attorneys’ fees that Perscale incurs in collecting late amounts. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive all claims relating to charges unless claimed within 60 days after the charge (this does not affect your credit card issuer rights). Charges are solely based on Perscale’s measurements of your use of the Perscale Services, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, refunds (if any) are at the discretion of Perscale and only in the form of credit for the Perscale Services. Nothing in these Terms obligates Perscale to extend credit to any party. You acknowledge and agree that any credit card and related billing and payment information that you provide to Perscale may be shared by Perscale with companies who work on Perscale’s behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment to Perscale and servicing your account. Perscale may also provide information in response to valid legal process, such as subpoenas, search warrants and court orders, or to establish or exercise its legal rights or defend against legal claims. Perscale shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of such information by such third parties. Perscale reserves the right to discontinue the provision of the Perscale Services to you for any late payments.
    3. For all recurring purchases, Perscale may change its fees and payment policies for the Perscale Services by notifying you at least fifteen (15) days before the beginning of the billing cycle in which such change will take effect. In addition, changes to the fees or payment policies may be posted on the website (or such other URL Perscale may provide from time to time). Any outstanding balance becomes immediately due and payable upon termination of the Terms for any reason.
    4. You may not develop multiple Applications to simulate or act as a single Application or otherwise access the Perscale Services in a manner intended to avoid incurring fees.
  5. Content on the Perscale Services and Take Down Obligations
