# Terms of Service — Website, account, and general platform terms. These Terms of Service (these **"Terms"**) are entered into between **Code Together, Inc.** (**"Company,"** **"we,"** or **"us"**) and the individual or entity accessing or using Company's website, account portal, or the "Code Together" real-time collaborative coding platform (the **"Service"**) (**"Customer,"** **"you,"** or **"your"**). ## 1. Acceptance of terms **1.1 Agreement to Terms.** By checking the box to accept these Terms, creating an account, or accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our **Privacy Policy**, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Service. **1.2 Entire Agreement for Self-Service Use.** These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the complete and exclusive agreement between Customer and Company governing Customer's access to and use of the Service. There is no separate customer agreement that modifies, supplements, or overrides these Terms unless expressly agreed to in a writing signed by an authorized representative of Company. **1.3 Capacity.** If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, in which case "you" and "Customer" refer to that entity. ## 2. Eligibility and account registration **2.1 Eligibility.** You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. **2.2 Account Information.** You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account and must promptly update it if it changes. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. **2.3 Account Security.** You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for restricting access to your account. Notify Company immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. ## 3. Description of the Service The Service is a real-time collaborative coding platform that allows distributed development teams to co-edit code and provides analytics and insights into how a team codes, offered under the subscription plans described in Section 4 below. The Service may include optional IDE, editor, or CI/CD plugins and extensions; see Section 19.5 and our Privacy Policy for information about plugin telemetry. Company may modify, update, or discontinue features of the Service from time to time. ## 4. Subscription plans and usage limits **4.1 Plans.** Company offers the Service under the subscription plans described on Company's pricing page and selected by Customer at checkout, which currently include the following: - **Starter** — up to 3 portal/web users, up to 10 developers (with reporting), and 500 AI Credits per month. - **Team** — up to 10 portal/web users, up to 25 developers, and 2,500 AI Credits per month. - **Company** — unlimited portal/web users, per-developer seats (25-developer minimum), and approximately 100 AI Credits per developer per month. Company may introduce new plans, or modify the features, limits, or availability of an existing plan, from time to time; a material reduction to a plan Customer has already purchased will not take effect until Customer's next renewal. **4.2 Plan Limits.** Each subscription is subject to the developer, portal/web user, AI Credit, feature, and other usage limits shown for the plan Customer selects at checkout or in the account portal. **4.3 Exceeding Limits.** If Customer's usage approaches or exceeds the limits of its plan, Company may notify Customer (including, where applicable, an organization's designated billing contact) and may require Customer to upgrade its plan, make an additional payment, or reduce usage before continuing to use the affected features. ## 5. Subscription term, renewal, and cancellation **5.1 Subscription Term.** A paid subscription begins on the date of purchase and continues for the billing period Customer selects (monthly or annual) (the "Subscription Term"). **5.2 Auto-Renewal.** Each subscription automatically renews for successive periods equal in length to the original Subscription Term (for example, a monthly plan renews monthly and an annual plan renews annually), until cancelled as described in Section 5.3. **5.3 Cancellation.** **(a) How to Cancel.** Customer may cancel its subscription at any time through the account portal or by contacting Company at legal@codetogether.com. **(b) Monthly Subscriptions.** Cancellation must be submitted before the start of the next monthly billing period to avoid being charged for that period. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current paid monthly period, and Customer retains access through the end of that period. **(c) Annual Subscriptions.** Cancelling an annual subscription stops the subscription from renewing for a further annual term but does not entitle Customer to a refund or credit for the remainder of the then-current annual term. If Customer cancels before the end of its then-current annual term, Customer remains responsible for the Subscription Fees for the remainder of that term and retains access to the Service through the end of the paid term. **(d) No Prorated Refunds on Cancellation.** Except as required by law, Company does not provide refunds or credits for the unused portion of a billing period upon cancellation. **5.4 Trial Subscriptions.** Where Company offers a trial subscription in connection with self-service signup, the trial will continue for the duration disclosed at signup (the "Trial Period"). Company will disclose at signup whether payment details are required to start a trial. If a trial is not cancelled before the end of the Trial Period and Customer provided payment details at signup, the subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the plan and pricing disclosed at signup, and billing will begin at that time. Customer may cancel a trial at any time before the end of the Trial Period, through the account portal or by contacting legal@codetogether.com, to avoid being charged. ## 6. Upgrades and downgrades **6.1 Upgrades.** Customer may upgrade its plan at any time through the account portal. An upgrade takes effect immediately, and Company will charge Customer a prorated fee for the difference between Customer's current plan and the upgraded plan for the remainder of the then-current billing period. **6.2 Downgrades — Monthly Subscriptions.** A downgrade to a monthly subscription takes effect at the start of Customer's next monthly billing period. Company does not provide a refund or credit for the difference in fees for the remainder of the then-current monthly period. **6.3 Downgrades — Annual Subscriptions.** A downgrade to an annual subscription takes effect at Customer's next annual renewal. Customer remains on its then-current plan, and responsible for the associated Subscription Fees, for the remainder of the then-current annual term. ## 7. Fees; payment; billing **7.1 Fees.** Fees for each plan are as shown at checkout or in the account portal at the time Customer purchases or changes a subscription. **7.2 Payment Authorization.** By providing a payment method, Customer authorizes Company and its payment processor to charge that payment method for: (a) the initial Subscription Fees; (b) recurring Subscription Fees upon each renewal; (c) fees for any upgrade under Section 6.1; and (d) applicable taxes. **7.3 Failed Payments.** If Company is unable to successfully charge Customer's payment method, Company (or its payment processor) may retry the charge. Company may suspend or terminate Customer's access to paid features if payment cannot be collected after reasonable attempts, and may charge a failed-payment fee to the extent permitted by law and disclosed to Customer. **7.4 Pricing Changes.** Company may change its published subscription prices from time to time. For monthly subscriptions, a price change will take effect at Customer's next monthly renewal following at least 30 days' notice. For annual subscriptions, Customer's pricing is fixed for the remainder of a paid annual term, and a price change will not take effect until Customer's next annual renewal. **7.5 Refunds.** Except as required by applicable law or as Company expressly agrees in writing, all fees are non-refundable, including for any unused portion of a billing period. **7.6 Taxes.** Subscription Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which Customer is responsible for except to the extent Company is required by law to collect them. ## 8. Acceptable use You will not, and will not permit any user of your account to: - Use the Service to violate any applicable law or regulation, or the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; - Upload, store, or transmit any virus, malware, or other harmful code, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or Company's systems or networks; - Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service, including through excessive automated queries, denial-of-service attacks, or circumvention of usage limits; - Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law; - Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or provide the Service to any third party outside your organization without Company's prior written consent, or use the Service to build a competing product; - Conduct security testing, penetration testing, or vulnerability scanning of the Service without Company's prior written authorization; - Use another user's account without permission, or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or entity.
