Thank you for visiting and/or using Aclima.io, related websites, and products. Aclima, Inc. provides a platform where users may obtain information about hyperlocal environmental conditions derived from technologies and services owned, licensed, and provided by Aclima, Inc. (referred to as “Site” and described below). Any visitors to this Site are collectively referred to as "users" in these Terms. By purchasing, accessing, or using the Services offered by Aclima, Inc. (“Aclima”, “we” or “us”), you (”you “ or “user”) are confirming that you have read, understand, and accept this Agreement. This Agreement includes the Terms of Service (“Terms”) covering your use of and access to any of our websites, services, client software, or data sources ("Services") as well our Privacy Policy and published Information Guidelines (see below).

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your information while these Terms outline your responsibilities when using our Services including Information Guidelines and interactions with third parties. By using our Services, you’re agreeing to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Guidelines. If you’re using our Services for an organization (“Customer”), you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that organization. This Agreement may be updated from time to time in accordance with its terms and conditions. You are responsible for regularly reviewing the most current version of this Agreement. When we change this Agreement, we will modify the “Last Updated” date above. You will only be notified as to any updates as required by applicable law. By using, accessing, or logging in to the Services after the date of any update, you will be deemed to have agreed to all such updated Terms.

Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for your conduct. You must comply with our Terms in the use of our Sites and Services, any other agreement or contract you may have with us, and likewise comply with the accompanying Guidelines. Content in the Services may be protected by others’ intellectual property rights. Please don’t copy, upload, download for distribution or share content unless you have the right to do so under other agreements with us and these Terms do not provide such permissions. Portions of our Services may be made available through social sharing features enabled on our Sites (e.g. Twitter and Facebook) but only content and information tagged for such functionality is available for sharing. We may review your conduct and content for compliance with these Terms and our Information Guidelines and any other policies. That said, we have no obligation to do so.

If you live in the European Union, you must be at least 16 years old. Please check your local law for the age of digital consent. If you don’t meet these age requirements, you may not use the Services.

Software

Some of our Services allow you to download or access our client software (“Software”) or various subscription services related to our Software, Services or platform, which may be updated automatically. As long as you comply with these Terms, we give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and download the Software and solely to access the Services. Use of such Software will be governed by further agreements between you and Aclima which you must accept in order to use the Software. To the extent any component of the Software may be offered under an open source license, we will make that license available to you and the provisions of that license may expressly override some of these Terms. Unless the following restrictions are prohibited by law, you agree not to reverse engineer or decompile the Services or the Software, attempt to do so or assist anyone in doing so.

Beta Services

We may release certain products and features that we are still testing and evaluating. Those Services will be marked as beta, preview, preliminary, early access or evaluation (or words or phrases with similar meanings) and may not be as reliable as other Services and may be terminated at any time. By accessing such releases, you agree to their use solely for Aclima internal purposes and evaluation.

you’re in material breach of these Terms,
doing so would cause us legal liability or compromise our ability to provide the Services to our other users, or

Limitation of Liability

We don’t exclude or limit our liability to you where it would be illegal to do so. In countries where certain types of exclusions aren’t allowed, we're responsible to you only for losses and damages that are a reasonably foreseeable result of our failure to use reasonable care and skill or our breach of our contract with you. This paragraph doesn’t affect consumer rights that can't be waived or limited by any contract or agreement.

any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or
any loss of use, data, business or profits, regardless of legal theory.

These exclusions or limitations will apply regardless of whether or not Aclima or any of its partners or affiliates have been warned of the possibility of such damages. Aclima, its affiliates, partners, suppliers, or distributors will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity. Aclima and its affiliates aren’t responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any users of the services.

Your use of the Services;
Your violation of these Terms;

Content you or your end users submit, post to, extract from, or transmit through the Services.

Resolving Disputes

Aclima will attempt to resolve any dispute with you informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days of submission, a formal proceeding may follow such as arbitration.

Judicial forum for disputes: You and Aclima agree that any judicial proceeding to resolve claims relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Francisco County, California. Aclima and you both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts. If you reside in a country (for example, European Union member states) with laws that give consumers the right to bring disputes in their local courts, this paragraph doesn’t affect those requirements.

No Class Actions: You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a member in a class, in a consolidated or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.

Controlling Law

These Terms will be governed by California law, in the United States of America, except for its conflicts of laws principles. However, some countries (including those in the European Union) have laws that require agreements to be governed by the local laws of the consumer's country. This paragraph doesn’t override those laws.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Aclima with respect to the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede and replace any prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms and conditions applicable to the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights or rights of survivorship.

Waiver, Severability & Assignment

Aclima’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. Aclima may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in the interest of any business associated with the Services.

Feedback

You agree that we may freely exploit and make available any and all feedback, suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, recommendations, or other information you provide to us relating to the Services.

Modifications

We may revise these Terms, and policies related to it (e.g. our Privacy Policy or Information Guidelines), from time to time to better reflect:

changes to the law,
new regulatory requirements, or
improvements or enhancements made to our Services.

If an update materially affects your use of the Services or your legal rights as a user of our Services, we’ll notify you prior to the update's effective date by sending an email to the email address associated with your account or via an in-product notification. These updated terms will be effective no less than 30 days from when we notify you. You may not be notified of non-material changes to our terms or policies.

If you don’t agree to the updates we make, please cancel your account before they become effective. By continuing to use or access the Services after the updates come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

Cookies are then sent back to the originating webpage on each subsequent visit, or to another webpage that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our Site before or whether you are a new visitor.

There are two broad categories of cookies:

first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device;
third party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf. We may use third party cookies for functionality, performance/analytics, advertising/tracking and social media purposes.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are session cookies, meaning that they are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and expire when you close your browser. Other cookies are persistent cookies, meaning that they are saved on your computer or mobile device for a fixed period and are not deleted when your browser is closed. They can be used by Aclima website to recognize your computer or mobile device when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies for a variety of reasons, including to:

enable, facilitate and streamline the functioning of and your access to the Site;
track traffic flow and patterns of travel in connection with the Site;
understand the total number of visitors to our Website on an ongoing basis and the types of internet browsers (e.g. Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer) and operating systems (e.g. Windows or Mac OS) used by our visitors;
monitor and continually improve the performance and functionality of the Site.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

The types of cookies used by us and our partners in connection with the Sites can be classified into one of five categories, namely ‘cookies necessary for essential Aclima purposes’, 'functionality cookies', ‘performance and analytics cookies', 'advertising and tracking cookies', and 'social media cookies'. We have set out some further information about each category:

Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Sites.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, LIKE WEB BEACONS?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. Our partners and service providers may employ software technologies that help us manage our Site to see what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages or in emails and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We use clear gifs or pixels in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. We may tie the information gathered by clear gifs in emails to your Personal Information.

CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We will occasionally update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices and services. When we post changes to this Cookie Policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Cookie Policy. If we make any material changes in the way we collect, use, and/or share information held in cookies, we will notify you by prominently posting notice of the changes on the Aclima Website. We recommend that you check this page from time to time to inform yourself of any changes in this Cookie Policy or any of our other policies.

COOKIES THAT HAVE BEEN SET IN THE PAST

If you have disabled one or more Cookies, we may still use information collected from cookies prior to your disabled preference being set, however, we will stop using the disabled cookie to collect any further information.

If you have any questions or comments about this cookies policy, or privacy matters generally, please contact us via email at legal@aclima.io.

INFORMATION REQUESTS AND OTHER LEGAL GUIDELINES

Last Update June 2020

LEGAL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION REQUESTS

Aclima will review and respond to properly served requests for user information in accordance with its privacy policy, terms of service, and applicable law. Aclima reserves the right to object to requests that are improperly served, burdensome, overly broad or vague, or inappropriate as determined in its discretion. Aclima will notify its customers and users of relevant requests for information in its sole discretion unless legally prohibited.

DISCOVERY OR INFORMATION REQUESTS

Non-content confidential and proprietary information generated from Aclima Services will not be released to third parties in the absence of valid subpoena, court order or other legal process.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REQUIREMENTS

Non-content user information will not be released to law enforcement except in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process. Content information will only be disclosed in response to a probable cause search warrant from an agency with proper jurisdiction. Under US law, including the federal Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. Sections 2701-2712:

A valid subpoena issued in connection with an official criminal investigation is required for Aclima to disclose non-content user information as defined in 18 US Code section 2703(c)(2) -- e.g. name, means of payment, and length of service.
A court order issued under 18 US Code section 2703(d) is required for Aclima to disclose other non-content information.
A probable cause search warrant issued under the procedures described in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure or equivalent state warrant is required for Mapbox to disclose user content information -- e.g. maps, data, and/or communications with Aclima or its services -- or other location-specific information.

If, in our good faith judgment, there is an emergency involving the danger of death or severe physical injury, we may also provide the limited information necessary to prevent that harm.

INFORMATION PRESERVATION REQUESTS

If not unduly burdensome or otherwise inappropriate, Aclima will take reasonable steps to preserve a snapshot of any existing time-sensitive Services information in connection with a criminal investigation for up to 90 days, pending receipt of a properly served law enforcement request or valid subpoena.

FORMAT OF REQUESTS

Requests for user information must include:

User email address
Details of the specific information being requested and its relationship to a valid investigation
Requester's name, title, agency, office, official email address, and direct phone number
Deadline to respond, which must be reasonable and on not less than 30 days notice

WHERE TO SEND REQUESTS

Law enforcement officials can submit requests by mail or in person at: Aclima, Inc. Attn: Legal, 10 Lombard Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94111 or via email to legal@aclima.io. While we agree to accept service of law enforcement requests by these methods, neither Aclima nor our users waive any legal rights based on this accommodation.
