Scale3 Labs Inc. (“Scale3 Labs,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides blockchain node and network observability products that allow you (“you” or “your”) to monitor your blockchain nodes (“Nodes”) and access performance information about your Nodes through the Internet (collectively, the “Service”). These Scale3 Labs Terms of Service (“Terms”) set forth the terms and conditions of your use of the Service. If you are subject to Data Processing Legislation (as provided in the DPA at the end of these Terms), then the DPA applies to you as well.
By setting up a Scale3 Labs account, you agree to these Terms and are granted a license to use and access the Service as made available by Scale3 Labs, as set forth in these Terms. The Service is available only to users that can form legally binding contracts and accept contracts in the English language. If you are acting on behalf of another person or entity, you represent and warrant that such person or entity has authorized you to act and enter into legally binding contracts on its or his/her/its behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, minors in any jurisdiction and individuals who have been suspended or terminated from the Service may not use the Service.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS 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 EXCEPTION) THAT YOU SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST SCALE3 LABS TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION, AND FURTHER (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST SCALE3 LABS 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 AGAINST SCALE3 LABS RESOLVED BY A JURY OR IN A COURT OF LAW.
Account Setup
To use the Service, you need to set up a Scale3 Labs account. You may establish either an individual free account (“Free Account”), an individual user paid account (“Paid Account”), or a multi-user paid account (“Multi-User Account”), provided that if you`'`ve obtained an account through one of our distributions partners, you may be assigned as specific account by the distribution partner and the payment provisions for Paid Accounts and Multi-User Accounts may not apply to you. When you select an account, we prompt you for registration information, such as your name and email address, with your password information managed by a third party service provider. For Paid Accounts and Multi-User Accounts our payment services provider collects your billing information and charges you for your account upon registration and renewal. The information you provide to us during registration is protected by our Privacy Policy, the most current terms of which are incorporated by reference.
Provision
After setting up your account, you must provide your Node information through the Service interface and download designated open source software necessary to connect your Nodes to the Service. You are solely responsible for downloading, installing and maintaining the open source software and for maintaining proper Node information in your account.
Free Accounts
Free Accounts don't have all the features of Paid Accounts and are subject to limitations described in these Terms and as implemented by Scale3 Labs from time to time. For example, you may have only one Free Account at a time and if you don`'`t use the account for a consistent period of time, your Free Account may be automatically terminated. A Free Account holder may upgrade to a Paid Account by following the Scale3 Labs upgrade procedures.
Subscription Period and Subscription Fees
Subscription Period. The subscription period for Paid Accounts and Multi-User Accounts can be month-to-month, yearly, or another duration described in the account features for your account or as designated through the applicable distribution partner (“Subscription Period”). For Free Accounts, the Subscription Period is for the duration of your Free Account.
Subscription Fees. Multi-User Accounts and Paid Accounts are subject to fees based upon the account type and features you`'`ve selected (“Subscription Fees”) unless otherwise paid through or by a distribution partner. For renewals, Scale3 Labs`'` payment services provider will automatically charge your credit card the amount of the then-current fee for your type of account, plus applicable taxes. All payments are non-refundable. To the extent that payment mechanisms are provided through third parties, you agree that Scale3 Labs shall have no liability to you arising out of the acts or omissions of such third parties. BY CREATING A PAID ACCOUNT OR GROUP ACCOUNT YOU CONSENT TO ALLOW SCALE3 LABS TO CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD, EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH ITS PAYMENT SERVICES PROVIDER, FOR THE AMOUNTS DUE FOR YOUR INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND FOR ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS UNTIL YOUR ACCOUNT IS CANCELED, TERMINATED, OR DOWNGRADED TO A FREE ACCOUNT FROM A PAID ACCOUNT.
Renewals and Cancellations
Accounts subject to Subscription Fees shall automatically renew for the same Subscription Period unless you cancel the account (or for a Paid Account, you downgrade to a Free Account) by the end of the then-current Subscription Period. Only the Admin can cancel a Multi-User Account. You can cancel your account at any time by contacting customer service at support@scale3labs.com. Cancellation will be effective immediatelyimmediately, but you will still be able to access your account until the end of the then-current Subscription Period; provided that we reserve the right to prevent or restrict Free Account access at any time following cancellation. Please note that after you cancel your account, you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees that you‘ve paid and you remain responsible to pay for True Up Fees as described below. For Multi-User Accounts, after the Admin cancels the Multi-User Account, Multi-User Member Accounts will not be able to use or access the Service.
Upgrades and Downgrades
Account Upgrades. You can upgrade from a Free Account to a Paid Account at any time. Where we offer multiple types of Paid Accounts, you can upgrade from one type of Paid Account to another or add additional paid features, such as additional Nodes, to your Paid Account, you can add them to your Paid Account. Additional Subscription Fees (“True-Up Fees”) apply for certain upgrades. When you add Nodes to your Paid Account, you will be charged additional Subscription Fees at the end of the applicable Subscription Period for all Nodes deployed during that Subscription Period over and above those you’ve paid for already. When you upgrade from a Paid Account to another type of individual Paid Account, we will apply the unused portion of your old Subscription Fee to the cost of your upgraded account type and if there‘s any money left over, we‘ll apply that to extend your initial Subscription Period based upon the daily charge for your upgraded account.
Downgrades. You can downgrade your Paid Account to a different Paid Account with fewer features or with a shorter Subscription Period, or you can downgrade from a Paid Account to a Free Account, or you can downgrade the number of Nodes. However, any downgrade will apply and you will be charged for the downgraded account type only after the end of the Subscription Period for your existing account. If you want to downgrade the number of Nodes associated with your account, you must do so prior to the end of the applicable Subscription Period, or you will be charged for all of those Nodes for the subsequent Subscription Period.
If you've elected to set up or convert to a Multi-User Account or if you have a Multi-User Member Account (described below), then in addition to the other provisions of these Terms, this Section (“Special Terms for Multi-User Accounts”) shall apply to your use of the Service.
Multi-User Account Setup. Multi-User Accounts are set up by a group administrator (the “Admin”) who registers as the Admin, selects the type of Multi-User Account, and pays for the applicable Subscription Fees. The Admin identifies members of the group by providing email addresses for each group member (“Multi-User Member Account”), with a limit of ten (10) total Multi-User Member Accounts. As an Admin, you are required to pay the fees for the use of your Multi-User Account by all Multi-User Member Accounts. Each Multi-User Member Account can then set up his/or her account within that Multi-User Account (each a “Multi-User Member Account”) through the account setup process for Multi-User Member Accounts. Multi-User Member Accounts may not participate in any Scale3 Labs contests or promotions except as expressly authorized in the terms and conditions associated with such contests or promotions. The Admin’s account is also a Multi-User Member Account.
Multi-User Account Management. Using the Multi-User Account web management console, the Admin maintains exclusive control over the management of the Multi-User Account, such as adding or removing Multi-User Member Accounts, enabling or disabling Multi-User Member Accounts, and identifying the email address associated with each Multi-User Member, As a Multi-User Member, you acknowledge and agree that, since the Admin maintains management control over Multi-User Member Accounts, Scale3 Labs is not responsible for, and will not have any liability to you for, any actions taken by the Admin with respect to your Multi-User Member Account. As an Admin, you acknowledge and agree that Multi-User Members may take action in with their Multi-User Accounts and that Scale3 Labs is not responsible for, and will not have any liability to you for, any actions taken or failed to be taken by a Multi-User Members.
Multi-User Account Upgrades. The Admin can upgrade the Multi-User Account at any time. The Admin can add features or, if enabled by Scale3 Labs, Multi-User Member Accounts to a Multi- User Account, but (i) any new Multi-User Member Accounts will have the same Subscription Period as the existing Multi-User Account; (ii) for any new paid features or, if made available by Scale3 Labs, any additional Multi-User Member Accounts, you will be charged a pro-rata portion of the applicable Subscription Fee, based on the time remaining in your Subscription Period; and (iii) the Admin has to assign new Multi-User Member Accounts to new Multi-User Members. In addition, if you have a Multi-User Account on annual Subscription Period and you want to upgrade to a monthly Subscription Period, any such upgrade request will take effect after the end of the annual Subscription Period for your existing account type, at which time you will be charged for the new account type unless alternative options are made available by Scale3 Labs.
Conversions to Multi-User Accounts. If you`'`re a Paid Account holder, you can convert your Paid Account to a Multi-User Account. If you elect to convert a Paid Account to a Multi-User Account, we will issue you a refund of a pro-rata portion of the Subscription Fee you`'`ve paid, and then charge you for the type of Multi-User Account you`'`ve selected unless alternative options are made available by Scale3 Labs. If you convert a Paid Account to a Multi-User Account, you cannot convert back to a Paid Account or Free Account.
Multi-User Account Downgrades. You can downgrade your Multi-User Account to a Multi-User Account with deprecated features, or, if made available by Scale3 Labs, with fewer Multi-User Member Accounts, and/or with a shorter Subscription Period. However, any downgrade will apply and you will be charged for the downgraded account type only after the end of the Subscription Period for your existing account type.
Termination of Multi-User Member Account Accounts. If you are a Multi-User Member, your Multi-User Member Account can be terminated by the Admin at any time.

Arbitration does not involve a court or a judge; instead the arbitrator follows these Terms and applicable law and awards relief accordingly.

You shall not join or consolidate claims or arbitrate or otherwise participate in any claim as a class representative, class member or in a private attorney general capacity. Any arbitration will be confidential. You or Scale3 Labs may initiate arbitration in either Santa Clara County, California, or the federal judicial district where you reside. The arbitrator‘s decision shall be in writing and shall comply with all terms and conditions in the then current Terms of Service. The decision and award rendered shall be final and binding on both parties. The parties acknowledge and agree that these Terms and any award rendered pursuant hereto shall be governed by the UN Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 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. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION BY PROVIDING WRITTEN NOTICE TO SCALE3 LABS AT OUR ADDRESS NOTED BELOW, TO THE ATTENTION OF “CLASS OPT OUT COORDINATOR” TO BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE OF YOUR ORIGINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT SEND NOTICE AS REQUIRED IN THE FOREGOING SENTENCE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE OPTED OUT OF ARBITRATION. IF YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED ABOVE, THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS SHALL STILL APPLY. Use of the Service is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including without limitation, this section.
