1. Telemetry Service Overview
The Service consists of Telemetry’s financial automation and collaboration platform, which consolidates data from a variety of data sources, including through the use of Telemetry’s downloadable plugins.
2. Eligibility
By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) neither you nor any other user in your organization have previously been suspended or removed from the Service and (b) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.
3. Accounts and Registration
3.1 Accounts. To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name, email address, or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate, complete, and not misleading, and that you will keep it accurate and up to date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you should immediately notify us at support@telemetry.fi.
3.2 Authorized Users. If permitted by your current subscription to the Service, you may grant other users in your organization (“Authorized Users”) the ability to access the Service by creating an authorized user account. When Authorized Users register for an account, they may be required to provide us with some information about themselves, such as their name, email address, or other contact information. You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information provided by Authorized Users. When Authorized Users register, they will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for ensuring Authorized Users maintain the confidentiality of their account and password, and you accept full responsibility for all actions of your Authorized Users as if they were your own. We will have no liability to Authorized Users under any circumstances.
4. Payment Terms
4.1 Generally. Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable unless otherwise specifically provided for in these Terms.
4.2 Price. Telemetry reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Telemetry will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the Service up to date. We encourage you to check our pricing page periodically for current pricing information. Telemetry may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if Telemetry gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. Telemetry, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Telemetry’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.
4.3 Authorization. You authorize Telemetry to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by Telemetry, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, then Telemetry may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.
4.4 Subscription Service. The Service may include certain subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. The Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select on your account (such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we terminate it. If you activate a Subscription Service, then you authorize Telemetry or its third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Service, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. For information on the “Subscription Fee”, please see our pricing page. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription Service for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. You must cancel your Subscription Service before the next Subscription Period begins in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. Telemetry or its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method associated with your account or that you otherwise provide to us. You may cancel the Subscription Service by accessing the Billing section of your account under General Settings.
4.5 Delinquent Accounts. Telemetry may suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any the unpaid amount, including collection fees. If your payment method is no longer valid at the time a renewal Subscription Fee is due, then Telemetry reserves the right to delete your account and any information or Customer Content (defined below) associated with your account without any liability to you.

18.1 Generally. Except as described in Section 18.2 and 18.3, you and Telemetry agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND TELEMETRY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
18.2 Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
18.3 Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 18 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Telemetry Finance, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 344 20th St, #J7 Oakland, CA 94612 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your main account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Telemetry receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 18 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 19.2. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
18.4 Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the JAMS under the rules applicable to consumer disputes (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.org, by calling the JAMS at +1-800-352-5267.
18.5 Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Telemetry’s address for Notice is: Telemetry Finance, Inc., 344 20th St, #J7 Oakland, CA 94612. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Telemetry may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Telemetry will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the JAMS Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS.
18.6 Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in Alameda County in the State of California unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing in the location specified above. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Telemetry must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
18.7 Confidentiality. The arbitrator will honor all evidentiary privileges recognized at law and will enter orders as appropriate in order to protect each parties’ trade secrets or confidential information. Each party agrees to maintain either party’s trade secrets or proprietary business information as confidential and to protect the confidentiality of any other information (such as private customer information) that is legally protected from disclosure. However, we may each disclose these matters, in confidence, to our respective accountants, auditors, and insurance providers.
18.8 Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 18.9, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brough in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Telemetry before an arbitrator was selected, Telemetry will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
18.9 No Class Actions. YOU AND TELEMETRY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Telemetry agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
18.10 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Telemetry makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Telemetry’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Telemetry will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
18.11 Enforceability. If Section 18.9 or the entirety of this Section 18 is found to be unenforceable, or if Telemetry receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 18 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 19.2 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
19. Miscellaneous
19.1 General Terms. These Terms, including the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Telemetry regarding your use of the Service.

We may assign these Terms and all rights granted under these Terms, including with respect to your Customer Content, at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of Section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
19.2 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles.
