Terms of Service

This Stellate Terms of Service Agreement (“Service Agreement”) describes your rights and responsibilities as a customer of our Services. These Terms are between you and Stellate., a Delaware corporation (“Stellate”, “we” or “us”). “You” means the company you represent in accepting this Service Agreement or, if that does not apply, then you individually. If You are accepting on behalf of your employer or another company, then You represent that You: (i) have full authority to bind your employer or company to this Service Agreement; and (ii) agree to this Service Agreement on behalf of your employer or company. The exception to this is if your employer or company has a separate written agreement with Stellate covering the use of the Services, in which case that agreement governs. If You do not have the legal authority to bind your employer or company (or do not agree with this Service Agreement), then do not click the “confirm” button (or similar “I agree” checkbox) and do not use the Services.

To be eligible to use the Stellate Services, You must review and accept this Service Agreement. You may accept this Service Agreement by: (1) clicking a box indicating acceptance (such as a “I accept” or “confirm” button); (2) executing an order form that references this Service Agreement (each an “Order Form”); or (3) using free services.

This Service Agreement, any addendum (such as a Data Processing Addendum), and Order Forms (if between Stellate and You) constitute the entire agreement between Stellate and You (collectively, the “Agreement”).

You may not, without Stellate’s prior written consent, access or use the Services: (a) if You are a direct competitor; (b) to monitor the availability, performance or functionality of the Services; or (c) for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes.

This Services Agreement was last updated on September 17, 2023. It is effective between You and Stellate as the date of You accepting this Service Agreement.

    2. Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to: (a) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and (b) limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein.
