You understand and agree that we may change these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy at any time and without prior notice. If we do this, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these Terms were last revised. Revised Terms will become effective at the time they are posted to the Website, and your use of the Website after such date indicates your agreement to such revised Terms.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONTAIN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, AND OBLIGATIONS.  THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE REQUIRES (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS) THAT YOU SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION, AND FURTHER (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST NOBL9 ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, (2) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SEEK RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND (3) YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US RESOLVED BY A JURY OR IN A COURT OF LAW.

2. Important Legal Information About Privacy. The terms and conditions of Nobl9’s Privacy Policy located at nobl9.com/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”) apply to your use of our Website and form an integral part of your agreement with us and are incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use.

3. Description of Website and Services. Nobl9 is the developer of Service-level objectives (SLOs) analytics software that assists non-technical business leaders, software engineers, and dev ops teams by providing them with the insights and tools they require to unify processes and set data-based business priorities by balancing the delicate equipoise between SRE and development, reliability and velocity.  “Services”, as used in these Terms of Use, refer to the various software services and products offered by Nobl9 via its Website.  The Website allows you to easily access and use content, including features, resources and other information intended to help you learn about the Services we may offer.  The Website also provides information for investors and potential investors.

4. Free Services. “Free Trial Service” means any trial-based Services which Nobl9 makes available to you to try at no additional charge and which are designated as “free trial”, “trial”, “beta,” “pilot,” “preview,” “evaluation,” or similar, together with any support services if and to the extent provided by Nobl9 in its sole discretion. “Free Subscription Service” means any commercially available Services which Nobl9 makes available to you at no additional charge and which are designated as “free tier”, “no-cost product”, or similar, together with any support services if and to the extent provided by Nobl9 in its sole discretion. The Free Trial Service and the Free Subscription Services are collectively the “Free Services”. 

If you are using Free Services, Nobl9 makes such Free Services available to you until the earlier of: (i) the end of the 30-day free trial period (for the Free Trial Service) or Nobl9’s determination that the primary subscriber has ceased use of the Services (for the Free Subscription Service); (ii) your cancellation of the Free Services; or (iii) Nobl9’s termination (in its sole discretion) of the Free Services (the “Free Services Period”). 

During the Free Services Period Nobl9 grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Free Services for your internal purposes (which, in the case of the Free Trial Service, shall be limited to evaluation purposes only) and expressly subject to the access and use restrictions set forth in these Terms of Use. Your Free Services account and the right of access granted herein are personal to you; each company is entitled to only one Free Services license per Service type offered by Nobl9. During the Free Services Period Nobl9 will send you emails to request your feedback, to educate you about the Free Service you are receiving, and to remind you of your Free Services Period end date, and you hereby consent to receive such emails. 

Any data you enter into the Free Services may be retained by Nobl9 for up to thirty (30) days after the end of the Free Services Period in the event that you wish to purchase subscription Services. However, for clarity, Nobl9 has no obligation to retain your data after the end of the Free Services Period. Thereafter, your data will be deleted. The functionality, data sources, SLOs, users, support services, and certain other features of the Free Services may be limited in comparison to the paid subscription-level Services available to you.  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, the Free Services are provided “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NOBL9 MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, AND SHALL HAVE NO INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO, THE FREE SERVICES OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE FREE SERVICES. NOBL9 SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY TYPE WITH RESPECT TO THE FREE SERVICES UNLESS SUCH EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN WHICH CASE NOBL9’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FREE SERVICES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS OR THE MINIMUM AMOUNT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

5. Paid Subscription Services. If you purchase Services on a subscription basis, the type of Services purchased, the fee rates, and the payment process will be set forth in your applicable Nobl9 order form.  Each subscription term shall begin on the effective date of the order form and run for the term set forth in the order form (with subscriptions offered on a monthly basis and on an annual basis). For the avoidance of doubt: (i) if you subscribe to Services while using the Free Trial Service, you will receive the benefits of your full 30-day trial prior to commencement of your paid subscription term; (ii) your Free Subscription Service will automatically end upon your subscription the paid version of the Service.

If you purchase annual subscription Services, your subscription will automatically renew for additional one-year terms unless you provide a notice of nonrenewal at least ten (10) days prior to the end of the then-current subscription term. If you purchase monthly subscription Services, your subscription will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis, provided, however, that you may cancel your subscription at any time. Upon any cancellation of monthly Services or timely notice of nonrenewal for annual Services, you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of your then-current term, at which time your access to the Services will terminate.  Your final invoice will contain any overage charges accrued during your final term.

Applicable fee rates for renewal terms will be at Nobl9’s then-current rates. 

Nobl9 hereby grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide right during your subscription term to access and use the Services solely for your business purposes, but only in accordance with these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, any terms and restrictions designated on the applicable order form. 

You agree to pay all fees set forth in the applicable order form. All payments will be made in United States Dollars within thirty (30) days of the date of the applicable electronic invoice. Except as expressly set forth herein, all fees are non-refundable once paid. Unless timely provided with a valid certificate of exemption or other evidence that items are not taxable, Nobl9 will invoice you for all applicable taxes (including taxes due on any Free Services). If your account is thirty (30) days or more overdue, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies (including but not limited to any termination rights set forth herein), Nobl9 reserves the right to suspend your access to the Services without liability to you until such amounts are paid in full.

If you are a California resident, you hereby explicitly waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

15. Export Control.

16. Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

  1. Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Use as the “Arbitration Agreement”.  You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Nobl9, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including any alleged breach thereof), the Website, the Services, the Content, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, you and Nobl9 are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.  Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

  2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND NOBL9 AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND NOBL9 AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.  ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER, APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

  3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Nobl9 is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@Nobl9.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Nobl9 should be sent to: Nobl9 Inc., 330 Bear Hill Road, Suite 203, Waltham, MA 02451, USA (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought.  If Nobl9 and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Nobl9 may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Nobl9 or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Nobl9 is entitled.

  4. Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.  For information on the AAA, please visit its website, https://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration.  If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Use as a court would.  All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Use and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

    Unless Nobl9 and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.  If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Nobl9 agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

  5. Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Nobl9 will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Nobl9 will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Nobl9 will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

  6. Confidentiality of Arbitration. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

  7. Severability of Arbitration Clause. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief.  The remainder of the Terms of Use will continue to apply.

  8. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, Nobl9 agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Website, you may reject any such change by sending Nobl9 written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use).

17. Severability. If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable, from the remaining Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

18. Termination. You agree that Nobl9, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your use of the Website and Services and may remove and discard any User Content or other data within the Website, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Nobl9 believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Use. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Website may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Nobl9 may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Website, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Website under any provision of these Terms of Use may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Nobl9 may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Website. In the event that Nobl9 terminates your access to the Website for any reason other than your breach of these Terms of Use, then Nobl9 will refund you the prorated portion of any Service subscription fees which you have paid but not yet used.  Except for the foregoing limited circumstance, you agree that Nobl9 will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Website.

19. Miscellaneous. The headings used in these Terms of Use are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship is intended or created by these Terms of Use or your use of the Website or Services.
