Parallel Works Service Terms

Last updated: February 1, 2016

The following Service Terms apply only to the specific Services to which the Service Terms relate. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Service Terms and the terms of the Parallel Works Customer Agreement or other agreement with us governing your use of our Services (the “Agreement”), the terms and conditions of these Service Terms apply, but only to the extent of such conflict. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
1. Universal Service Terms (Applicable to All Services)
1.1. You may only use the Services to store, retrieve, query, serve, and execute Your Content that is owned, licensed or lawfully obtained by you. As part of the Services, you may be allowed to use certain software (including related documentation) provided by us or third party licensors. This software is neither sold nor distributed to you and you may use it solely as part of the Services. You may not transfer it outside the Services without specific authorization to do so.
1.2. You must comply with the current technical documentation applicable to the Services (including the applicable developer guides) as posted by us and updated by us from time to time on the Parallel Works Site. In addition, if you create technology that works with a Service, you must comply with the current technical documentation applicable to that Service (including the applicable developer guides) as posted by us and updated by us from time to time on the Parallel Works Site.
1.3. You will provide information or other materials related to Your Content (including copies of any client-side applications) as reasonably requested by us to verify your compliance with the Agreement. We may monitor the external interfaces (e.g., ports) of Your Content to verify your compliance with the Agreement. You will not block or interfere with our monitoring, but you may use encryption technology or firewalls to help keep Your Content confidential. You will reasonably cooperate with us to identify the source of any problem with the Services that we reasonably believe may be attributable to Your Content or any end user materials that you control.
1.4. If we reasonably believe any of Your Content violates the law, infringes or misappropriates the rights of any third party or otherwise violates a material term of the Agreement (including the documentation, the Service Terms, or the Acceptable Use Policy) (“Prohibited Content”), we will notify you of the Prohibited Content and may request that such content be removed from the Services or access to it be disabled. If you do not remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content within 2 business days of our notice, we may remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content or suspend the Services to the extent we are not able to remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may remove or disable access to any Prohibited Content without prior notice in connection with illegal content, where the content may disrupt or threaten the Services, pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or as required to comply with law or any judicial, regulatory or other governmental order or request. In the event that we remove content without prior notice, we will provide prompt notice to you unless prohibited by law.
1.5. From time to time, we may offer free or discounted pricing programs covering certain usage of the Services (each, a “Special Pricing Program”). We may stop accepting new sign-ups or discontinue a Special Pricing Program at any time. Standard charges will apply after a Special Pricing Program ends or if you exceed the limitations by the Special Pricing Program. You must comply with any additional terms, restrictions, or limitations (e.g., limitations on the total amount of usage) for the Special Pricing Program as described in the offer terms for the Special Pricing Program or on the pricing page for the eligible Service(s). You may not access or use the Services in a way intended to avoid any additional terms, restrictions, or limitations (e.g., establishing multiple Parallel Works accounts in order to receive additional benefits under a Special Pricing Program), and we may immediately terminate your account if you do so. Any data stored or computing services provided as part of a Special Pricing Program must be actively used.
1.6. If we make multiple discounts or pricing options for a Service available to you at one time, you will only be eligible to receive one discount or pricing option, and will not be entitled to cumulative discounting and pricing options.
1.7. You will ensure that all information you provide to us via the Parallel Works Site (for instance, information provided in connection with your registration for the Services, requests for increased usage limits, etc.) is accurate, complete and not misleading.
1.8. From time to time, we may apply upgrades, patches, bug fixes or other maintenance to the Service Offerings (“Maintenance”). We agree to use reasonable efforts to provide you with prior notice of any scheduled Maintenance (except for emergency Maintenance) and you agree to use reasonable efforts to comply with any Maintenance requirements that we notify you about.
1.9 Beta Service Participation
1.9.1 This Section describes the additional terms and conditions under which You may access and use certain features, technologies and services made available to you by Parallel Works that are not yet generally available, including, but not limited to, any products or features labeled “beta”, “preview”, “pre-release”, “eval”, “evaluation”, or “experimental”(each, a “Beta Service”). In the event there is a conflict between these Beta Service terms and an existing Beta Test Participation Agreement between You and Parallel Works, the terms of the existing Beta Test Participation Agreement will take precedence.
1.9.2 During the term of the applicable Beta Service, you may: (a) access and use the Beta Service solely for internal evaluation purposes; and (b) install, copy, and use any related Parallel Works Content that may be provided to You by Parallel Works in connection with the Beta Service (“Beta Materials”) solely as necessary to access and use the Beta Service in the manner permitted by this Section.
1.9.3 You agree not to allow access to or use of any Beta Service or Beta Materials by any third party other than Your employees and contractors who (i) have a need to use or access the Beta Service or Beta Materials in connection with Your internal evaluation activities, and (ii) have executed written nondisclosure agreements obligating them to protect the confidentiality of non-public information regarding the Beta Service and Beta Materials.
1.9.4 You must comply with all policies and guidelines related to any Beta Service as posted on eval.parallel.works or otherwise made available to You, including the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, these Service Terms, and any additional terms and conditions for a specific Beta Service. Parallel Works may add or modify restrictions, including lowering or raising any usage limits, related to access to or use of any Beta Service or Beta Materials at any time
1.9.5 Parallel Works may suspend or terminate Your access to or use of any Beta Service at any time and for any reason. Parallel Works may at any time cease providing any or all of any Beta Service in its sole discretion and without notice. Beta Services also may be unavailable and/or their performance may be negatively affected by scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Parallel Works will use reasonable efforts to notify You in advance of scheduled maintenance, but Parallel Works is unable to provide advance notice of unscheduled or emergency maintenance.
1.9.6 In consideration of being allowed to access and use a Beta Service, You agree to provide Parallel Works with information relating to Your access, use, testing, or evaluation of the Beta Service or any related Beta Materials, including observations or information regarding the performance, features and functionality of the Beta Service or any related Beta Materials as applicable, when and in the form reasonably requested by Parallel Works (“Test Observations”). Parallel Works will own and may use and evaluate all Test Observations for its own purposes. You will not use any Test Observations except for Your internal evaluation purposes of the Beta Service.
1.9.7 Each individual Beta Service will automatically terminate upon the release of a generally available version of the applicable Beta Service or upon notice of termination by Parallel Works. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or these Services Terms, either You or Parallel Works may terminate Your participation in a Beta Service at any time for any reason upon notice to the other party. After the conclusion of your participation in a Beta Service for any reason, (a) You will not have any further right to access or use the applicable Beta Service and Beta Materials; (b) Your Content used in the applicable Beta Service may be deleted or inaccessible, if so provided by us to you prior to your use; and (c) You will immediately return or, if instructed by PW, destroy all Beta Materials or any other Parallel Works Confidential Information related to the applicable Beta Service or Beta Materials. If Parallel Works releases a generally available version of a Beta Service, Your access to and use of the generally available version will be subject to the Agreement and any separate Section of these Service Terms as may be specified for that generally available Service Offering. Parallel Works does not guarantee that any Beta Service will ever be made generally available, or that any generally available version will contain the same or similar functionality as the version made available by PW during the term of the Beta Service as applicable.
1.9.8 Beta Materials, Test Observations, Suggestions concerning a Beta Service, or any other information about or involving (including the existence of) any Beta Service or are considered PW Confidential Information.
