Terms of Service

 

Archipelago Analytics, Inc. (“Archipelago,” “Company,” “we,” “us”) offers a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform which, among other things, digitizes risk information for analytics and use in insurance placements (collectively, the “Services”) and websites including but not limited to www.onarchipelago.com (collectively, the “Website(s)”).  These User Terms of Services (“User Terms”) explain the rules governing use of the Services and Websites.

 

All users of the Archipelago Services and Website are subject to these User Terms, including the following types of users:

• “Site Visitors” are users of the Websites.  
• “Authorized Users” are users who use the Services or any portion thereof as part of a paid Archipelago subscription purchased by the organization (e.g., your employer or another entity or person, called the “Customer”) that entered into a separate agreement with Archipelago governing the delivery, access, and use of the Services (the “Customer Agreement”). The Services features and functionalities available to Authorized Users are determined by the subscription type and the terms of the specific Customer Agreement and may include access to certain functionality or services offered at no charge pursuant to the applicable Customer Agreement.
• “Free Users” are users who use free trials, services, or functionality that Archipelago may offer from time to time without reference to any Customer Agreement, including, for example, free SOV diagnostic service.  

For purposes of these User Terms, we refer to these three types of users collectively as “Users” or “you.” Regardless of what type of User you are, these User Terms create a legal agreement directly between you and Archipelago.  

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES AND/OR THE WEBSITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE USER TERMS AND BY THE TERMS OF OUR PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE USER TERMS AND/OR TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE OR THE WEBSITES.

We may, from time to time, modify these User Terms. Please check this page periodically for updates. If you do not agree to, or cannot comply with, the modified User Terms, you must stop using the Services and the Websites. The updated User Terms will take effect upon their posting and will apply on a going-forward basis, unless otherwise provided in a notice to you. Your continued use of the Services and/or the Websites after any such update constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ARCHIPELAGO OR ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE, OR COSTS OF OBTAINING SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES), ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR THE WEBSITES, ANY MATERIALS, INFORMATION, RESULTS, OR RECOMMENDATIONS APPEARING ON THE SERVICE OR THE WEBSITES, OR ANY LINK PROVIDED ON THE SERVICE OR THE WEBSITES, WHETHER OR NOT ARCHIPELAGO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, VIOLATION OF STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND ARCHIPELAGO’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED US$100.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” This release includes the criminal acts of others.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages such as above. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. If you are a resident of a state that permits the exclusion of these warranties and liabilities, then the limitations in this Section specifically do apply to you.

No waiver of any provision of these User Terms will be binding unless in writing, no waiver of any provisions of these User Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and the failure of Archipelago to exercise or enforce any right or remedy in these User Terms does not waive that right or remedy. If an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these User Terms to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these User Terms will remain in full force and effect.
