MATRIFY Terms of Service

By using the MATRIFY.com web site ("Service"), or any services of Dokotec OÜ ("MATRIFY"), you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions ("Terms of Service"). IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY, ITS AFFILIATES AND ALL USERS WHO ACCESS OUR SERVICES THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN WHICH CASE THE TERMS "YOU" OR "YOUR" SHALL REFER TO SUCH ENTITY, ITS AFFILIATES AND USERS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT USE THE SERVICES.

If MATRIFY makes material changes to these Terms, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our site before the changes are effective. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Continued use of the Service after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time at: http://www.matrify.com/en/terms

Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your Account. While MATRIFY prohibits such conduct and Content on the Service, you understand and agree that MATRIFY cannot be responsible for the Content posted on the Service and you nonetheless may be exposed to such materials. You agree to use the Service at your own risk.

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any other terms specifically referred to in any of those documents, constitute a legally binding agreement (the "Agreement") between you and MATRIFY in relation to your use of the Website, Apps and Services (together, the "Platform").

Customers may access their MATRIFY account data via an API (Application Program Interface). Any use of the API, including use of the API through a third-party product that accesses MATRIFY, is bound by these Terms of Service plus the following specific terms:

You expressly understand and agree that MATRIFY shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if MATRIFY has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from your use of the API or third-party products that access data via the API.

  2. Abuse or excessively frequent requests to MATRIFY via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your account's access to the API. MATRIFY, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. MATRIFY will make a reasonable attempt via email to warn the account owner prior to suspension.

  3. MATRIFY reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, your access to the API (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

You can cancel your account at any time by clicking on the Account link in the global navigation bar at the top of the screen. The Account screen provides a simple no questions asked cancellation link.

MATRIFY reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
