We at RhodeCode work to provide first class Multi VCS Source Code hosting solutions. These Terms of Service ("Terms") describe our commitments to you, and your rights and responsibilities when using our hosting services. Please read them carefully and contact us at support@rhodecode.com if you have any questions.
These Terms govern your access to and use of RhodeCode hosting platform as well as all content, products and services available at or through this website (collectively, "Services"). These Terms also govern visitors' access to and use of any projects, or other content hosted on our Services that are managed by our users. Our Services are offered subject to your acceptance, without modification, of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, RhodeCode's Privacy Policy), and procedures that may be published from time to time by RhodeCode (collectively, the "Agreement").
You agree that we may automatically upgrade our Services, your hosted instances, and the Agreement will apply to any upgrades. Please read the Agreement carefully before accessing or using our Services. By accessing or using any part of our Services, you agree to become bound by the Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms of the Agreement, then you may not access or use our Services.
Throughout these Terms, "you" applies to both individuals and entities that access or use our Services. If you are an individual using our Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to the Agreement and that by using our Service(s), you are accepting the Agreement on behalf of that entity.
These Terms are between "you" and the RhodeCode GmbH entity that owns or operates the Cloud Hosting Product that you are using or accessing listed here collectively as "RhodeCode", or "we" throughout these Terms.
Where use of our Services requires an account, you agree to provide us with complete and accurate information when you register for an account and keep the information current. This is important because sometimes we may need to send you notable updates (for example, about changes to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy), or we may want to let you know about and make informed choices in response to legal inquiries or complaints.
You will be solely responsible and liable for any activity that occurs under your account. You are responsible for keeping your account information up-to-date and for keeping your password secure.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and any Service-related website or other content, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account and any other actions taken in connection with our Services. You shall not share or misuse your access credentials. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your account, or of any other breach of security. We will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
When you create a RhodeCode account, we consider that to be an inquiry about our products and services, which means that we may contact you to share more details about what we have to offer.

If you are younger than this, you may not register for or use our Services.

If you post Content, comment on a website, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) Content available on our Services, you are entirely responsible for the Content, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct. We disclaim any responsibility for any harm resulting from anyone's use, purchase, or downloading of Content. If you access or use any Content, you are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content.

Please note that additional third party terms and conditions may apply to the downloading, copying, purchase, or use of Content.
For example:
We do not have any control over those websites and are not responsible for their contents or their use. The existence of a link to or from one of our Services does not represent or imply that we endorse such website. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. We disclaim any responsibility for any harm resulting from non-RhodeCode websites.
Fees for Paid Services. Our Services are offered for a fee (collectively, "Paid Services"). By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees. Our Services are purchased on a subscription basis. Recurring subscription fees will be charged in regular automatically-renewing intervals (such as monthly, or annually), on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting us.
Modifying User tiers. You may add, or remove users, increase storage limits, or otherwise increase your use of Cloud Products by placing a new Order or modifying an existing Order. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, we will charge you for any increased use at our then-current rates, prorated for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term.
Taxes. To the extent permitted by law, or unless explicitly stated otherwise, all fees are exclusive of applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges now in force or enacted in the future ("Taxes"). You are responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your use of our Services, your payments, or your purchases. If we are obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the Fees you've paid or will pay, you are responsible for such Taxes, and we may collect payment for such Taxes.
Payment. If your payment fails or if Paid Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time, we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to the Paid Services. If you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services, we may revoke your access to our Services in general.
Automatic Renewal. To ensure uninterrupted service, recurring Paid Services are automatically renewed. This means that unless you cancel a Paid Service before the end of the applicable subscription period, it will automatically renew, and you authorize us to invoice you or use any payment mechanism we have on record for you to collect the then-applicable subscription fee (as well as any Taxes). By default, your Paid Services will be renewed for the same interval of time as your original subscription period. For example, if you purchase an annual subscription, you will be charged each year for the following 12-month period. We may charge your account up to one month before the end of the subscription period. It is your responsibility to make sure you are checking your email (including any spam or other filters) in order to receive any reminder email we send to you in advance of renewal. The date for the automatic renewal is determined automatically based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. You can view your renewal date for RhodeCode Paid Services by visiting your account page.
Cancelling Automatic Renewal. You can manage and cancel your Paid Services by visiting your account page.
Fee Changes. We may change our fees at any time, or start charging fees for Services that were previously free. When applicable, we may give you advance notice of the fee changes. If you don't agree with the fee changes, you must cancel your Paid Service.
Refunds. While you may cancel a Paid Service at any time, refunds are issued at our sole discretion, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Individual contributors, subscribers, or projects retain all rights in their submitted content as determined by the terms and conditions of the projects. However, a license is granted to RhodeCode to make and retain copies of the content and distribute the content as necessary for the provision of the Services e.g. replicating content between servers to ensure continuity of service; taking backups. In addition, you agree that RhodeCode may access any and all uploaded content for the purposes of ensuring compliance with these Terms, and providing the Services.

We will respond to all such notifications, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material.

We will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid. If you wish to terminate the Agreement or your RhodeCode account, you may simply discontinue using our Services, or, if you are using a paid service, you may cancel at any time, subject to the Fees, Payment, and Renewal section in these Terms.
