ABOUT
Short version: Polyaxon creates software that makes reproducing and scaling machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models and deploying them to production as simple as possible. It can be delivered as a cloud application or downloaded and run in your own network. You must pay to use some premium features. By running or using our software, you are agreeing to these terms and our privacy policy.
These Terms of Service are provided by Polyaxon, Inc. ("Polyaxon," "we," "our," or "us") and govern your use of the software we make available (the "Software"). To use the Software, Users must at all times agree to and abide by these Terms. The Software allows you to automatically track, schedule, and monitor machine learning and deep learning experiments, and deploy machine learning and deep learning models to production, using certain information related to your organization and your code (such code, data, and information, collectively, "User Data").
Our Software may be made available on a hosted basis or in binary form. In all cases, your usage of the Software will be subject to these Terms.

These Terms of Service constitute a legal contract between you and your company, organization, or entity ("you" or, collectively with other users, "Users"), on the one hand, and Polyaxon on the other regarding your and your company, organization, or entity's use of the Software.
Polyaxon may have different roles with respect to different types of Users, and “you” as used in these Terms will apply to the appropriate type of User under the circumstances (e.g., an individual User and/or a Subscribing Organization). If you are using or opening an account with Polyaxon on behalf of a company, entity, or organization (collectively, the "Subscribing Organization") then you represent and warrant that you: (i) are an authorized representative of that entity with the authority to bind such entity to these Terms; (ii) have read these Terms; (iii) understand these Terms, and (iv) agree to these Terms on behalf of such Subscribing Organization.

4. ELIGIBILITY; TERMINATION
Short version: You or Polyaxon can close your account at any time.
4.1 You agree that Polyaxon, in its sole discretion and for any or no reason, may terminate any account (or any part thereof) you may have with Polyaxon. In addition, Polyaxon reserves the right to discontinue any aspect of the Software at any time, including the right to discontinue the display and analysis of any User Data. You agree that any termination of your access to the Software or any account you may have or portion thereof may be affected without prior notice, and you agree that Polyaxon will not be liable to you or any third party for such termination. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Software may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies Polyaxon may have at law or in equity.
5. PAYMENT TERMS; CHARGES AND TAXES
Short version: You are responsible for any fees associated with your use of Polyaxon. Pricing can change at any time, but you will receive notice at least 7 days in advance. Your subscription will automatically renew.
If you have purchased a license to use any paid features of the Software, such as Premium Features, the following provisions apply to you:
5.1 You are responsible for paying any applicable fees as set forth on our Pricing and Payment Terms and applicable taxes associated with the Software in a timely manner with a valid payment method. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars, all fees are exclusive of all taxes. All payments must be made electronically by the methods specified by us either on our website or via the Software. You agree that we may charge your selected payment method for any such fees owed. You are required to keep your billing information current, complete, and accurate (e.g., a change in billing address, credit card number, or expiration date) and to notify Polyaxon if your selected payment method is cancelled (e.g., for loss or theft). All fees and charges are earned upon receipt by us and are nonrefundable (and there are no credits) unless negotiated otherwise, except (a) as expressly set forth herein, and/or (b) as required by applicable law.
5.2 You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account made by you or anyone who uses your account (including your co-workers, colleagues, team-members, etc.). If your payment method fails or you are past due on amounts owed, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms. Your account may be deactivated without notice to you if payment is past due, regardless of the dollar amount. You are also responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your use of the Software, including, but not limited to, sales, use, or value-added taxes.
5.3 Authorization to charge your chosen payment method account will remain in effect until you cancel or modify your preferences within the Software; provided, however, that such notice will not affect charges submitted before Polyaxon could reasonably act. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you ordered the applicable service or on the Pricing and Payment Terms. You agree that charges may be accumulated as incurred and may be submitted as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of the applicable billing cycle.
5.4 Polyaxon reserves the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fees or charges for the Software we provide, and to institute new fees, charges, or terms effective upon prior notice to our Users. You will receive notice of any fee change at least five (5) days before the scheduled date of the transaction and failure to cancel your account as set forth herein will constitute acceptance of such fee change. Any changes to fees will apply only on a prospective basis. If you do not agree to any such changes to fees, charges, or terms, your sole remedy is to cancel your subscription. Fees paid for any subscription term are paid in advance and are not refundable in whole or in part. If you have a balance due on any Service account, you agree that Polyaxon can charge these unpaid fees to any payment method that you have previously provided.
5.5 Your Service will be automatically renewed and your credit card account (or other payment method account) will be charged as follows without further authorization from you: (a) every month for monthly subscriptions; (b) upon every one (1) year anniversary for annual subscriptions; (c) such other periodic rate you have selected from among the options offered on the Software. You acknowledge that your subscription is subject to automatic renewals and you consent to and accept responsibility for all related recurring charges to your applicable payment method without further authorization from you and without further notice unless required by law. You acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may change if the applicable tax rates change or if there has been a change in the applicable fees.
5.6 Unless otherwise required by applicable law, for annual subscriptions, you must provide us with written notice of your intention not to renew at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the then-current term of your subscription. If you do so, your subscription will be cancelled at the end of the then-current term.
6. USER DATA
Short version: By using Polyaxon, you grant us access to the code and any other data used by Polyaxon to operate, such as information about your team solely for the purpose of providing the services under this Agreement. We have the right to collect aggregate, anonymized, and high-level data from private Polyaxon instances, as described in our Privacy Policy and our product documentation, and detailed usage data from polyaxon.com.
6.1 Use of User Data. By analyzing your User Data with the Software, you hereby grant, and represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant, all rights and licenses to the User Data required for Polyaxon to provide the features and functionality of the Software. While your User Data will remain on your systems, Polyaxon collects certain information about your use of the Software, including aggregated data about your User Data. You agree that Polyaxon may collect, analyze, and use data derived from User Data, as well as data about you, and other Users' access and use of the Software, for purposes of operating, analyzing, improving, or marketing the Software and any related services. If Polyaxon shares or publicly discloses information (e.g., in marketing materials, or in application development) that is derived from User Data, such data will be aggregated or anonymized to reasonably avoid identification of a specific individual or the User. By way of example and not limitation, Polyaxon may: (a) track the number of Users on an anonymized aggregate basis as part of Polyaxon's marketing efforts to publicize the total number of Users of the Software; (b) analyze aggregated usage patterns for product development efforts; or (c) use aggregated or anonymous data derived from User Data in a form which may not reasonably identify either a particular individual or the User to develop further analytic frameworks and application tools. You further agree that Polyaxon will have the right, both during and after the term of these Terms, to use, store, transmit, distribute, modify, copy, display, sublicense, and create derivative works of the anonymized, aggregated data.
6.2 Your Responsibilities for User Data. In connection with User Data, you hereby represent, warrant, and agree that: (a) you have obtained the User Data lawfully, and the User Data does not and will not violate any applicable laws or any person or entity's proprietary or intellectual property rights; (b) the User Data is free of all viruses, Trojan horses, and other elements that could interrupt or harm the systems or software used by Polyaxon or its subcontractors to provide the Software; (c) you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all privacy laws in all jurisdictions that may apply to User Data provided hereunder; (d) Polyaxon may exercise the rights in User Data granted hereunder without liability or cost to any third party; and (e) the User Data complies with the terms of these Terms. For purposes of clarity, Polyaxon takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Data, and you will be solely responsible for your User Data. You may not submit any User Data that includes any information that can be used to identify, locate, or contact any of your employees, customers, users or potential customers or users, including: (1) first and last name; (2) home or other physical address; (3) telephone number; (4) email address or online identifier associated with an individual; (5) social security number, passport number, driver's license number, or similar identifier; (6) credit or debit card number; (7) employment, financial or health information; or (8) any other information relating to an individual, including cookie information and usage and traffic data or profiles, that is combined with any of the foregoing (collectively, “Personal Data”) without Polyaxon's prior written approval.
6.3 Rights to User Data. For purposes of clarity, you own all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to your User Data. Polyaxon will use the User Data solely for the purpose of performing services under this Agreement and will not copy or otherwise retain your User Data.

7.2 You may choose to or we may invite you to submit comments or ideas about the Software, including without limitation about how to improve the Software or our products ("Ideas"). By submitting any Idea, you agree that your disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place Polyaxon under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that we are free to use the Idea without any additional compensation to you, and/or to disclose the Idea on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone.

8. THIRD-PARTY SITES, INFORMATION, AND SOFTWARE
Short version: polyaxon.com uses remote third-party services for many purposes — including uptime monitoring, tracing, data logging, analytics, marketing, and more. However, while self-hosted Polyaxon instances can be connected to many similar third-party services by users as described in our docs, they will not automatically communicate with any remote services, except when they ping polyaxon.com or check polyaxon.com for product updates.
8.1 The Software may call the servers of other websites or services solely at the direction of and as a convenience to Users ("Third-Party Sites").

Access and use of Third-Party Sites, including the information, material, products, and services on such sites or available through such sites, is solely at your own risk. Further, you acknowledge that the Software may contain copyrighted software of our suppliers which are obtained under a license from such suppliers ("Third-Party Software"). All third-party licensors and suppliers retain all right, title and interest in and to such Third-Party Software and all copies thereof, including all copyright and other intellectual property rights. Your use of any Third-Party Software shall be subject to, and you shall comply with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the applicable restrictions and other terms and conditions set forth in any Third-Party Software documentation or printed materials, including without limitation an end user license agreement.
8.2 You acknowledge that Polyaxon does not manage or control the User Data that you analyze with the Software, and accepts no responsibility or liability for that information regardless of whether such User Data is analyzed by you in breach of these Terms.
9. POLYAXON PLUGINS
9.1 Certain features of the Software may allow you to download software packages to extend Polyaxon's functionality. These packages may be offered by Polyaxon or by third-party providers — in either case, such packages are made available under separate terms and conditions and are not governed by this Agreement.
10. SECURITY AND PRIVACY SETTINGS
10.1 We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure information you provide us from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure.
