JAAS — Terms of Service

Beta

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service cover the provision of Juju As A Service ("JAAS") by Canonical Group Limited ("Canonical", "us", "our" or "we") to you ("you" or "your") subject to and in accordance with these Terms of Service (the "Service").

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before you use the Service. By using the Service, you agree to become bound by these terms Terms of Service. You may not use the Service for illegal or unauthorised purposes or otherwise in accordance with this Terms of Service.

If you are entering into these Terms of Service on behalf of a company or legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind such company or legal entity, its officers, employees and agents and all users who access the Service through the account, to these Terms of Service. "you" and "your" shall refer to the company or legal entity and such users. If you do not have such authority do not accept these Terms of Service.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between age 13 and 18, you confirm that you have your parent's or legal guardian's consent to use the Services and that they have read and agreed to these Terms of Service.

Any change or update to the Services or Terms of Service will be made in accordance with section 6 below.

2. Services and Software

The Service enables you to deploy, configure, manage, maintain, and scale charms and software ("Software") on public clouds, as well as on physical servers, OpenStack, and containers.

Details of the Services can be found at www.jujucharms.com

Software will be available from the third party provider of the Software or from Canonical directly. If Software is provided by a third party then the third party's end user licence agreement will apply ("Software Terms"). You are responsible for compliance with such Software Terms and we take no responsibility for such Software.

You will be presented with the Software Terms prior to you being able to use the Software. If you do not agree to any Software Terms you must not use or deploy the Software.

If you deploy Software on a public cloud or in an environment operated by a third party with which you have an account (e.g. Google, MS Azure or Amazon Web Services), your use of that service is subject to the terms of service you have agreed with them and that third party may levy additional charges on you for using their service. You are responsible for compliance with such terms of service and any such additional charges to the third party and we take no responsibility for such services or charges.

Support for the Services can be found at www.jujucharms.com/support

3. Account

You will need an account to access and use the Service. We reserve the right to reject your request for an account or to immediately cancel or suspend your account and your use of the Services at any time if you do not comply with the following requirements. You must not attempt to create an account or use the Service if doing so would violate these Terms of Service. You must:

  • Have a Service account
  • Where deploying to a public cloud or third party environment, provide your cloud credentials
  • Not use the Service for illegal or unauthorised purposes (or which encourage or permit illegal or authorised purposes), in infringement of a third party's' rights or otherwise in accordance with these Terms of Service
  • Not use take any action or use the Service in any way that might bring Canonical into disrepute or affect the ability of Canonical to provide the Service
  • Not use the Service in any manner that might be libellous or defamatory, that contains threats or incites violence towards individuals or entities, or that violates the privacy rights of any third party
  • Not be located in or use the Services in an OFAC/EAR embargoed or sanctioned country or be on the U.S. Commerce Department's Denied Persons List, Entity List, or Unverified List

If you do not have an account you will need to create one. You are responsible for choosing an appropriate password for your accounts and for keeping such password secure. Canonical will not ask you for your password and you should not reveal it to anyone. You are responsible for keeping your account details up to date.

4. End of Service

We look forward to providing you with the Service for so long as you wish to receive it. However, there are some circumstances under which the Service may be suspended or terminated:

  • We cease to make the Service (or any part thereof) available
  • By us at any time as described in Section 3 above

We may also cease to offer the services for any other reason, in which case we will provide you with notice on your account page.

You may cancel your use of the Services by cancelling your account. Cancellation of your account will have the effect of cancelling your subscription to the Software.

5. Fees

Canonical will not charge you for use of the Service while it is in Beta. Your use and deployment thereafter may be charged. If you deploy Software on a public cloud or in an environment operated by a third party you may still be charged by that third party directly at any time, including during the Beta period.

Following the Beta period, payment for the Service is due at the time of the next use of the Service in a new environment.

You will be asked to enter your credit card details once the Beta period has ended and to confirm your acceptance of the Terms of Service. We will only charge your credit card at the time of the use of the Service after the Beta. Fees are charged in the currency in which you make your purchase. The Fees will be displayed on your account page, including payment details.

Payment is handled by a third party and your credit card statement may identify payments as made to "Canonical" or "Stripe". You are responsible for any foreign transaction fees incurred by your bank. You must abide by any relevant terms and conditions or other legal agreement, whether with us or a third party, that governs your use of a given payment processing method. We may add or remove payment processing methods at our sole discretion and without notice to you. Once your purchase is complete, we or our payment processor may charge your credit card or other form of payment, along with any additional applicable amounts (including any taxes). You are solely responsible for all amounts payable associated with purchases you make in accordance with these Terms of Service.

When you use the Service, you will be charged at the rate applicable at the time of use. If the fees payable for the Service increase later, we will notify you via email. The increase will apply to the next payment due from you after the notice is placed on your account page or as otherwise stated. If you do not wish to pay the increased price, you may cancel your use of the Service in the manner described in Section 4 above and you will not be charged further amounts for your use of the Service, provided you have notified us before the end of the current billing period. If your use of the Service is cancelled and you later decide to renew the Service, you will initially be charged at the then current price.

You are responsible for any Taxes (as defined below), and must pay for the Service without any reduction for Taxes. If Canonical is obliged to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be charged to you. If you have a VAT ID please provide this with your credit card details when requested. "Taxes" means any duties, customs fees, or taxes (other than income tax) associated with the use of the Service or licensing of Software, including any related penalties or interest. You must comply with all applicable tax laws, including the reporting and payment of any taxes arising in connection with your use of the Services. The reporting and payment of any such applicable taxes are your responsibility.

6. Changes

We aim to continually improve the delivery and content of the Service and accordingly may make changes to the Service from time to time.

New features may be added, but we may also modify or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) part of the Service, in part or in whole. We may also offer Service on a trial/beta basis, in which case your use of those Service will be limited to the period of your trial/beta and subject to the terms of the trial/beta.

In the event of a material change to the Service, we will notify you on your account page. What constitutes a material change in this circumstance will be determined by Canonical, in good faith and using common sense and reasonable judgment.

Similarly, we may occasionally make changes to these Terms of Service and will notify you of material changes either by email or on your account page. If Canonical does make changes to these Terms of Service, all changes will go into effect at the time we post the updated Terms of Service on your account page or as otherwise notified at that time.

Software Terms may be updated from time to time. It is your obligation to check the relevant Software Terms you have agreed from time to time. You are responsible for compliance with such Software Terms and we take no responsibility for such Software, services or charges.
