Welcome to the SageMath, Inc. ("SMI") website located at https://cocalc.com (the "Site"). Please read these Terms of Service (the "Terms") carefully because they govern your use of our Site and services accessible via our Site. To make these Terms easier to read, the Site and our services are collectively called the "Services".

Agreement to Terms

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms. In that case, "you" and "your" will refer to that company or other legal entity.

Changes to Terms or Services

We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site at https://cocalc.com/policies/terms or through other communications. You track complete details regarding every change on GitHub. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Site, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

Beta Testing Disclaimer

The Services may not operate correctly and may be substantially modified prior to first commercial release. All Services provided hereunder are in various stages of development and are likely to contain defects. a primary purpose of granting you access to our Services in this beta-testing phase is to obtain feedback on THE services’ performance and the identification of defects. we are under no obligation to correct or cure defects that have been identified. You are advised to safeguard important data, to use caution when using and not to rely in any way on the correct functioning or performance of the Services. you assume The entire risk arising out of the use of the Services.

Who May Use the Services

Eligibility

You may use the Services only if you are 13 years (16, if you are an EU citizen) or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

Registration and Your Information

If you want to use certain features of the Services you’ll have to create an account ("Account"). You can do this via the Site. You must provide a name, email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process and register your Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them. (Note: before September 2020, this paragraph was significantly more restrictive and we relaxed it to better support student privacy requirements.)

Using the Services

The Services offer a web-based environment through which users can use SageMath and other open source math software online in connection with mathematical research and teaching and the performance of computational mathematics. Through their Accounts, users can create multiple projects ("Project"), each of which acts as a file system with multiple directories, inside of which a user can create and edit any number of files of any type (such as Latex documents, IPython notebooks, and SageMath worksheets) as well as write, compile, and run software code in various programming languages (such files and code collectively, "Files"). You’ll be able to share your Files with other users of the Services, as well as enable them to contribute to and build upon them and share them as well. When you create Files, you can, if you choose, specify the terms and conditions that govern other users’ use of your Files (e.g. a specific software or creative commons license) ("File License"). Similarly, if you download, access or use another user’s Files through the Services, you agree that you will use such Files strictly in accordance with the File License terms associated with that File (if any), as indicated through the Services. If you don’t agree with the terms of a File License, then you may not use the applicable Files.

You can elect to share your Files (which comprise User Content (defined below)) with one or more Account holders of your choosing (each, a "Collaborator", and collectively, a "Collaborator Team"). By doing so, you are authorizing each Account holder member of such Collaborator Team to use such Files in accordance with the applicable File License you’ve specified for such Files through the Services. If you haven’t specified an applicable File License, then you authorize SMI to grant each Account holder member of such Collaborator Team a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, sublicenseable (to other Collaborators) license to copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, and publicly display, your Files. Each Collaborator can make your Files public, by Posting them (as described below). Additionally, each Collaborator can elect to share your Files with other Account holders. Such additional Account holders will become part of the Collaborator Team, and will have the same rights to access and use your Files as those granted to Collaborators in this paragraph.

You may also make your Files available to a broader audience by posting them through our Services (hereinafter, "Posting") to the general public. Keep in mind that, by Posting such Files, you are (i) authorizing all Account holders and non-Account holder users of the Services to access and use such Files in accordance with the applicable File License you’ve specified for such Files through the Services, or if no File License is applicable; (ii) authorizing SMI to grant (a) Account holders a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable license to view, copy, and publicly display, your Files; and (b) non-Account holder users of the Service a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view such Files. Once you POST TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, you can LATER un-POST, but the licenses granted will remain in effect. You cannot revoke this license, so we encourage you to consider carefully before POSTING.

API Terms

You may access your Account data via our application programming interface ("API"). Your use of the API, including use through a third party product that accesses the Services, is subject to these Terms as well as the following specific terms:

  • You expressly understand and agree that SMI shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if SMI has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from your use of the API or third-party products that access data via the API.
  • Abuse of or excessively frequent requests to the Services via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your access to the API. SMI, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. SMI will make a reasonable attempt via email to warn you prior to permanent suspension.
  • SMI reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, your access to the API (or any part thereof) with or without notice.
  • Unauthorized access to the API is not allowed from third party software. You must create your own account and provision an API key in order to use the API.

Payment, Refunds, Upgrading and Downgrading Accounts

Your subscription to use the Services can be on a free or paid basis. If you are using the Services pursuant to a paid plan (or you upgrade from a free to a paid plan) you must provide SMI with complete and accurate billing and contact information. You will be billed immediately upon an upgrade from the free plan to any paid plan. Paid plans may include free temporary trial periods. For paid plans where payment is due on a monthly basis, you will be billed for the Services in advance on a monthly non-refundable basis. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open Account. No exceptions will be made. When changing from a monthly billing cycle to a yearly billing cycle, SMI will bill you for a full year upon the next monthly billing date. All fees due hereunder in connection with the Services are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes on SMI’s net income. For any upgrade or downgrade in paid plan level while on a monthly billing cycle, you will automatically be charged the new rate on your next billing cycle. For upgrades or downgrades while on a yearly plan, SMI will immediately charge or refund the difference in plan cost, prorated for the remaining time in your yearly billing cycle. Downgrading your plan may cause the loss of access to Content, features, or capacity of your Account. SMI does not accept any liability for such loss. We may suspend or terminate the Services if fees are 30 days past due. You agree to pay, and authorize SMI’s third party payment processor to charge using your selected payment method, for all applicable fees and taxes that may accrue in relation to your use of the Services. The fees for your subscription to use the Services are set forth at https://cocalc.com/pricing.

Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and SMI agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an "IP Protection Action"). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You acknowledge and agree that you and SMI are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and SMI otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015820 and a separate form for California residents at http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015822) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and SMI otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and SMI submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. SMI will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, SMI will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes

Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Modification" section above, if SMI changes this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to www.client.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date above or in the date of SMI’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and SMI in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between SMI and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between SMI and you regarding the Services and Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without SMI’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. SMI may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by SMI under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

SMI’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of SMI. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
