These Terms of Service (these "Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("you" or "your") and BigState ("BigState", "we", "our", or "us") and govern your use of BigState's services, including its application programming interfaces ("APIs"), dashboard, documentation, SDKs, WebSocket endpoints, and other products and services made available through our website or that link to these Terms (collectively, the "Services"). By creating an account and using any of the Services, you expressly agree to these Terms, the terms of any Services that you procure through the Services interface (each, an "Order Form"), any terms referenced herein that apply to a particular Service (e.g., API usage guidelines, rate limits, and documentation requirements) ("Additional Terms"), and any other policies referenced herein, including our Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Agreement"). The Agreement takes effect when you first accept these Terms as part of the account sign-up process or when you otherwise access or use the Services and will remain in effect until terminated as specified herein. If you do not agree with the Agreement, please do not accept these Terms, and you may not access or use the Services.
1. General
BigState offers an object and state synchronization platform that gives users the tools to create and manage objects, publish and read versioned state, configure deliveries, and receive updates over HTTP, WebSocket, and related protocols. The Services may include managed cloud offerings, self-hosted options, sample code, documentation, dashboards, analytics, and integrations made available by BigState and/or third-party infrastructure, identity, payment, and hosting providers ("Third-Party Providers") through the Services (collectively, "Platform Content"). Platform Content and your use of the Services are provided subject to these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms. Your access to and use of the Services is subject to these Terms in addition to any Order Form or Additional Terms that apply to your account or plan. By entering into the Agreement, you agree to comply with all applicable terms governing your use of the Services.
2. Access Grant
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, worldwide, limited right to access and use the Services, as such Services may be modified, revised, and updated in accordance with the Agreement, solely for your lawful purposes and in accordance with your plan, Order Form, and documentation.
3. Your Account
3.1 Registration
You must open an account with us to use certain parts of the Services. During the registration process, we will ask you for information, which may include, but is not limited to, your name, e-mail address, and other personal or organizational information. You must provide accurate and complete information in response to our questions, and you must keep that information current. We reserve the right to change your account type, downgrade, suspend, or terminate your account and the account of anyone who provides inaccurate, untrue, or incomplete information or who fails to comply with the account registration requirements.
3.2 Eligibility
You represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years old. You also represent and warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws (e.g., local, state, federal and other laws) when using the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, by using the Services, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo; and (b) you have not been identified as a Specially Designated National or placed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited, sanctioned, or restricted parties. If you access or use the Services outside the United States, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your access and use of the Services in such country, territory, or jurisdiction does not violate any applicable laws. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.
3.3 Account Responsibility
You are solely responsible for any and all activities conducted under your account, including your API keys, tokens, principals, and other credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or any other breach of security on your account, API keys, or other credentials. We shall not be liable for any loss incurred in connection with or resulting from any party's unauthorized use of a password, account, API keys, or other credentials. You acknowledge and agree that losses incurred by us or another party due to the unauthorized use of your account, API keys, tokens, principals, or password are solely at your liability. Accordingly, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password, username, API keys, tokens, principals, and any other credentials relating to your account. Unauthorized use of another's account, password, API keys, or other credentials is strictly prohibited. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes sharing an account, API keys, or credentials with others except as expressly permitted by your plan or a written agreement with us.
3.4 Disabling Accounts
We reserve the right to disable your account, including your API keys and other credentials, at any time, including if you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of the Agreement, or if activities occur on your account or through your API keys or credentials which, in our sole discretion, would or might cause damage to or impair the Services or infringe or violate any third-party rights, or violate any applicable laws or regulations.
4. Payment Obligations
4.1 Payment Terms
The Services include both paid-for Services ("Paid Services") and free-of-charge Services ("Free Services"). We offer certain Paid Services to be paid for on a monthly or annual recurring basis ("Paid Subscription Services") and other Paid Services on an as-used basis ("Add-On Services"). Paid Subscription Services may subject you to recurring fees and/or terms. By signing up for a Paid Subscription Service, you agree to pay us the subscription fee and any applicable Taxes (as defined below) on a recurring basis as specified in the applicable Order Form(s) ("Subscription Fee"). Add-On Services may subject you to fees charged per usage and/or terms, including object counts, delivery volume, bandwidth, storage, or request volume. By using an Add-On Service, you agree to pay the fees specified in the applicable Order Form and any Taxes incurred at the time of usage ("Add-On Fees" and, together with Subscription Fees, "Fees"). Unless otherwise provided, Fees will be charged upon purchasing the Paid Services. Except as provided herein, Subscription Fees will be charged upon the monthly or annual anniversary of your purchase of the Paid Subscription Services and will continue until the Paid Subscription Services are terminated as set forth in the Agreement. For Paid Services, you authorize us to charge your designated payment method. By providing an acceptable payment method, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize us or our third-party payment processor to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase, including any applicable taxes and other charges. If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable, your Paid Service may be downgraded, suspended, or canceled. You must resolve any problem we encounter in relation to the payment method you provide in order to proceed with your use of the Service. You authorize us or our third-party payment processor to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount. This payment obligation shall survive termination or cancellation of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise indicated, all Fees and other charges are quoted in U.S. Dollars ($), and all payments must be in U.S. Dollars ($). We reserve the right to change the prices of the Services from time to time. We will attempt to give you advance notice of any such price changes prior to the next billing cycle. Your continued use of the Paid Subscription Services after notice of a change to our Fees will constitute your agreement to such changes. If you accept a promotional offer or make changes to your Paid Services, the Fees, Taxes, and amounts billed may vary. In addition, billing amounts may also vary due to changes in applicable Taxes or currency exchange rates.
4.2 Taxes
Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). You will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your purchases, except for those taxes based on our net income. Should any payment for the Services be subject to withholding tax by any government, you will reimburse us for such withholding tax.
4.3 Adding, Upgrading, and Downgrading Services at Your Election
At any time, you may purchase additional Paid Services as well as upgrade your Free Service to a Paid Subscription Service. If you purchase a monthly Paid Subscription Service, the Fees reflected in the applicable invoice will be for a prorated monthly subscription, and you will be invoiced on the same date that you upgraded your account for each subsequent calendar month. If you sign up for an annual Paid Subscription Service, the Fees reflected in the applicable invoice will be for a full annual subscription. You may downgrade from a Paid Subscription Service to a lower-tier Paid Subscription Service or to a Free Service at any time from your account settings. If you downgrade any Paid Subscription Services, you will remain responsible for any unpaid Fees under the applicable Paid Subscription Services, and Services under the applicable Paid Subscription Services will be deemed fully performed and delivered upon expiration of the applicable Paid Subscription Services subscription term. If you cancel a Paid Subscription Service, you will continue to have access to that Paid Subscription Service through the end of your then-current billing period, but you will not be entitled to a refund or credit for any Fees already due or paid.
4.4 Downgrade for Non-Payment
If any Fees owed to us by you are overdue, we may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, downgrade any Paid Subscription Services to the Free Services or suspend any Paid Subscription Services until those amounts are paid in full, so long as we have given you notice that your account is overdue. You acknowledge and agree that a downgrade or suspension will result in a decrease in certain features and functionality, as illustrated by comparing the plans on our website or in your dashboard.
