Last updated November 30, 2021

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS GOVERNING DISPUTES ARISING FROM USE OF THE OPSCOMPASS PLATFORM. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

These OpsCompass Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the OpsCompass, Inc. (“OCI”, “we,” or “us”) web sites (www.opscompass.com, the “Site”) and services, including the OpsCompass cloud governance Platform (the “Platform”) by site visitors (“Site Visitors”) and by individuals or entities who purchase services and their Authorized Users (collectively, “Customers”). By using the Platform, you as a Site Visitor or Customer accept these Terms (whether on behalf of yourself or a legal entity you represent). An “Authorized User” of a Customer is each an individual natural person, whether an employee, business partner, contractor, or agent of a Customer who is registered or permitted by Customer to use the Platform subject to these Terms and up to any maximum number of users or uses specified at the time of purchase. Customers and Site Visitors may be referred to in these Terms as “you” and “your” as applicable.

These Terms apply to and are incorporated by reference into the ordering document (the “Quote”) made by and between OCI and the Customer. If you are a Customer and you or your organization are bound by a Master Services Agreement (however so titled) with OCI (“Corporate Terms”), then these Terms will apply, if at all, only to use of the Platform to the extent such use is not already governed by such a Master Services Agreement. 

BY ACCESSING, USING, OR DOWNLOADING ANY MATERIALS FROM THE PLATFORM, YOU AGREE TO FOLLOW AND BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED AND MUST CEASE USING THE SITE IMMEDIATELY.

We may revise these Terms or any additional terms and conditions that are relevant to the Platform from time to time to reflect changes in the law or to the Platform. We will post the revised terms on the Site with a “last updated” date. PLEASE REVIEW THE SITE ON A REGULAR BASIS TO OBTAIN TIMELY NOTICE OF ANY REVISIONS. IF YOU CONTINUE TO USE THE PLATFORM AFTER THE REVISIONS TAKE EFFECT, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE REVISED TERMS. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification of the Terms.

If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity).
