Your use of and access to the Service is governed by this Agreement, which includes the NodeChef’s Terms of Service, and Acceptable Use Policy.
1.2. This Agreement constitutes a legally binding contract between Company and Customer. By clicking the "I Accept" button, you are indicating that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not have the authority to bind the Customer or do not agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then neither you nor the legal entity you may represent are permitted to purchase, access, or use the Services and you should not click the "I Accept" button. Your permission to access and use the Services is conditioned on your continued and uninterrupted compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.1. You will be required to provide registration information and create a NodeChef.com account (your "Account") in order to access and use the Services. All registration information that you provide must be kept accurate, current, and complete at the time you register and throughout your use of the Service. You agree to promptly update your registration information, if any such information becomes inaccurate or obsolete.
2.2. You are responsible for the security of your passwords and all other credentials used for accessing your Account or the Service and for any use (authorized or unauthorized) of your Account or the Service under your passwords or credentials. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password, credentials, or Account, you agree to notify the Company immediately.
2.3. Your use of the Service must comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, including any laws regarding the export of data or software.
The Company makes the services and support available for purchase on a monthly basis by Account holders. There is no free trial period. You will pay us the applicable fees and charges for use of the Subscription Services using one of the payment methods we support. All amounts payable under this Agreement will be made without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify us and will pay us any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that we receive, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. We may increase or add new fees and charges for any existing Services by giving you at least thirty (30) days advance notice. The Company does not issue refunds but credits your account to be used towards your next bill.
To cancel subscription you will need to destroy/delete all your deployments on the platform. This is the only way to cancel your subscription to NodeChef services.
Use of the Services is subject to this Acceptable Use Policy.
