Acceptable Use Policy

Here at Climateware, our goal is to help you and your team do the best work of your lives, every day. To do this, we need to keep our products and services running smoothly, quickly, and without distraction. For this to happen, we need help from you, our users. We need you not to misuse or abuse our products and services.

To describe exactly what we mean by “misuse” or “abuse” – and help us identify such transgressions, and react accordingly – we’ve created this Acceptable Use Policy. Under this policy, we reserve the right to take action if we see objectionable content that is inconsistent with the spirit of the guidelines, even if it’s something that is not forbidden by the letter of the policy. In other words, if you do something that isn’t listed here verbatim, but it looks or smells like something listed here, we may still take action.

You’ll see the word “services” a lot throughout this page. That refers to all products and websites owned or operated by Climateware, and any related websites, sub-domains and pages, as well as any cloud services operated by Climateware.

Use your judgment, and let’s be kind to each other so we can keep creating great things. You can find all the legal fine print at the bottom of this page.

Here’s what we won’t allow:

Disruption

• Compromising the security or operation of our systems. This could include probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any system or network that hosts our services. This prohibition does not apply to security assessments expressly permitted by Climateware
• Tampering with, reverse-engineering, or hacking our services, circumventing any security or authentication measures, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to the services, related systems, networks, or data
• Modifying, disabling, or compromising the integrity or performance of the services or related systems, network or data
• Deciphering any transmissions to or from the servers running the services
• Overwhelming or attempting to overwhelm our infrastructure by imposing an unreasonably large load on our systems that consume extraordinary resources (CPUs, memory, disk space, bandwidth, etc.), such as:
  • Using “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” or other automated systems to send more request messages to our servers than a human could reasonably send in the same period of time by using a normal browser
  • Going far beyond the use parameters for any given service as described in its corresponding documentation
  • Consuming an unreasonable amount of storage for music, videos, or other content in a way that’s unrelated to the purposes for which the services were designed

Wrongful activities

• Misrepresentation of yourself, or disguising the origin of any content (including by “spoofing”, “phishing”, manipulating headers or other identifiers, impersonating anyone else, or falsely implying any sponsorship or association with Climateware or any third party)
• Using the services to violate the privacy of others, including publishing or posting other people's private and confidential information without their express permission, or collecting or gathering other people’s personal information (including account names or information) from our services
• Using our services to stalk, harass, bully, or post direct, specific threats of violence against others
• Using the services in furtherance of any illegal purpose, or in violation of any laws (including without limitation data, privacy, and export control laws)
• Accessing or searching any part of the services by any means other than our publicly supported interfaces (for example, “scraping”)
• Using meta tags or any other “hidden text” including Climateware’s or our suppliers’ product names or trademarks

Inappropriate communications

  • Violates or infringes Climateware’s or a third party’s intellectual property or other rights, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral rights, privacy rights of publicity, or any other intellectual property right or proprietary or contractual right, or where we receive notice of alleged violation or infringement in accordance with our Reporting Guidelines

  • Depicts, promotes, or encourages serious harm or any form of violent, illegal, tortious, or dangerous conduct

In this Acceptable Use Policy, the term “**content**” means: (1) any information, data, text, software, code, scripts, music, audio, sound, images, graphics, videos, recordings, messages, tags, interactive features, or other materials that you create, post, upload, share, submit, or otherwise provide in any manner to the services and (2) any other materials, content, or data you provide to Climateware or use with the services. “**Content**” also includes submissions by others that you authorized or facilitated to use the services.

Climateware reserves the right to interpret the guidelines and take (or refrain from taking) action in its discretion. Without affecting any other remedies available to us, Climateware may permanently or temporarily remove or disable access to unacceptable content, or terminate or suspend a user’s account or access to the services, without notice or liability if Climateware (in its discretion) determines that a user has violated this Acceptable Use Policy. You agree to cooperate with us to investigate and remedy any violation.
