These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the data analysis platform and associated tools (collectively, the "Service") made available by Mode Analytics, Inc. ("Mode"), including as made available through our website at mode.com. Your use of the Service indicates that you agree on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent (collectively, "you") to be bound by these Terms. YOU AGREE THAT THESE TERMS ARE ENFORCEABLE LIKE ANY WRITTEN CONTRACT SIGNED BY YOU.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms prospectively at any time. We will post any changes to these Terms on our website and will indicate the date the Terms were last revised. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you and where required by law, notify you. Your continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

European Economic Area (EEA) Residents: Please see the applicable special provisions in the Privacy Policy, available here.

1. Overview of the Service

The Service contains two primary functions—a "public" function and "private" function. You have the option to use the public function, the private function, or both. Here are the distinctions between the public and private functions:

Public function. The "public" function enables users (i) to publicly share their data, as well as queries and associated data analyses, with all other users of the Service, and (ii) to access, manipulate and collaborate on the data, queries and data analyses shared via the public function by other users. The public function is free to all users.

Private function. The "private" function enables users of each private group (i) to share data, as well as queries and associated data analyses, only with other authorized users of that particular private group, and (ii) to access, manipulate and collaborate on the data, queries and data analyses shared by the other users of that private group.

Mode offers both free and premium (“Premium Service”) versions of the private function, with the free version having limited functionality. The private function versions of the Service are currently Mode Studio, Mode Business and Mode Enterprise.

For an overview of the Service versions and features (which Mode updates from time to time), see our Compare Plans page.

As a free Service, Mode Studio is subject to certain use limitations, including a limit on users per organization, and users may not avoid this limit by sharing their account information or passwords (see our website for a description of such limitations, which we may revise at any time). Moreover, Mode Studio users are prohibited from attempting to bypass Mode’s payment requirements to obtain access to Premium Services, whether by accessing Mode’s APIs or otherwise. Mode reserves the right to deactivate immediately, without notice, any Mode Studio account holder or organization who violates these use limitations.

All data, queries, comments, analyses or other content is collectively referred to in these Terms as "Content." All Content uploaded or posted to, or otherwise made available on, the Service through your account is collectively referred to in these Terms as "Your Content."

Provided, however, for avoidance of doubt, Your Content does not mean or include any data that is generated automatically by the Services concerning your use of the Services (the “Meta-data”). Such Meta-data may include, but is not limited to, information concerning the number of reports you run, report run times, and the identity of the person that ran a report.

Mode will not be responsible if you incorrectly designate Your Content for Mode’s public function. The premium Service has certain functionality (“secret embeds” or “white label embeds”) that allows you to expose Your Content created in Mode’s private function to people who are not authenticated to the Service. Mode will not be responsible if you expose private information using this or similar features.

2. Eligibility

In order to use the Service, you must register and set up a user account. The user registration process requires that you agree to these Terms.

The Service is intended solely for individuals who are at least 13 years of age or older. Any registration on or use of the Service by anyone under 13 is unauthorized. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years old.

If you are a government user or otherwise accessing or using the Service in your capacity as an employee of a government or public entity, the Amendment to these Terms (available here) shall apply to you.

3. Registration

When you register with Mode, you will be asked to disclose certain personal information, including your name and email address, and to set up a user name and password, all of which will be subject to our Privacy Policy available here. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account and for keeping your password and log-in information secure. Please keep in mind that your name and the user name on your account will be viewable by other users of the Service. You agree that you (1) will monitor your account, (2) will not share your account or password with anyone, and (3) will notify Mode immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or password, or any other breach of security.

You agree to provide us with true, accurate and complete information as requested in our registration process. You also agree to update such information promptly as necessary to keep it current and accurate.

4. Financial Terms

The public function is available free of charge for public use and allows you only to view information other Mode users disclose using the public function. When you use the public function, you may disclose or upload Your Content using only the public function. You may also perform analysis on Your Content or on others’ Content.

As described in Section 1 (Overview of the Service), the private function is available in two versions: (i) free of charge (with limited functionality) and (ii) as a Premium Service.

The Premium Service is available for a fee. You will be invoiced in accordance with the terms of the applicable Order Form. If applicable, you will be billed monthly, in arrears, for Mode users in your organization for whom you did not already purchase annual licenses, and any other applicable fees.

You agree to pay all fees or charges to your account for the Premium Service in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time that each fee or charge is due and payable. Unless otherwise indicated in an order form, you must provide Mode with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) (“Payment Provider”) as a condition to signing up for the Premium Service. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card account, and you must refer to that agreement and not the Terms to determine your rights and liabilities with respect to your Payment Provider. By providing Mode with your credit card number and associated payment information, you agree that Mode is authorized to verify information immediately, and subsequently invoice your account for all fees and charges due and payable to Mode hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify Mode of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment hereunder. Mode reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on our website or by e-mail delivery to your organization’s administrator(s).

All fees and other amounts payable by you under these Terms are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. You are responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by you hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Mode’s income.

Upon termination of these Terms or cancellation of your account for the Service for any reason, all fees specified in the applicable Order Form are immediately due and payable, regardless of the billing terms provided in such Order Form.

Any attorney fees, court costs, or other costs incurred in collection of delinquent undisputed amounts shall be the responsibility of and paid for by you.

All fees for the Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and Mode for the Services until Mode accepts your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.

You are responsible for any third-party fees that you may incur when using the Service.

Accordingly, you acknowledge that Mode does not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any Content uploaded to or otherwise made available on the Service, whether by Mode or by or on behalf of any user, or any opinion or result derived from any such Content. You further acknowledge that Mode does not provide any warranty for any Content uploaded to or otherwise made available through the Service.

You may not upload to or otherwise make available on the Service any Content for which you do not have all necessary rights, licenses, consents or permissions needed to so make available such Content on the Service.

You should exercise caution, good sense and sound judgment in uploading or otherwise providing any Content to the Service. You should not provide any Content to the public function of the Service that is confidential or proprietary to you, your employer or any third party for which you do not have permission to disclose such Content. Please keep in mind that any Content that you upload to or otherwise make available to the public function of the Service will be publicly available (to all registered users of the Service), and any Content that you upload to or otherwise make available to a private group on the Service will be available to other users of that particular private group. Registered users not only have access to view Your Content made available on the public function, but they may also perform analyses on Your Content. For any of Your Content that you intend to disclose to a private group using Mode’s private function, you are responsible for ensuring that you properly designate and use the private function for Your Content. Mode will not be responsible if you incorrectly designate Your Content for Mode’s public function, and publicly disclose Your Content that you intended to remain confidential or private.

Mode will not be responsible if you expose private information using this or similar features.

You understand and agree that Mode has no obligation to pre-screen Content (including, but not limited to Your Content), but Mode reserves the right to pre-screen, refuse or remove any Content. Mode may, but is not obligated to, review Content posted to the Service from time to time, and may delete or remove (without notice) from the Service any of Your Content in our sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, including if in our judgment such Content violates these Terms, might be offensive or illegal, or might harm or violate the rights or threaten the safety of our users or third parties.

If you do not use the Service for 90 days (outside of a paid subscription period), your account shall be considered inactive and any of Your Content stored on our systems or otherwise shall be automatically deleted without backup, except for Your Content designated for Mode's public function. You agree that each time you provide Your Content to Mode through the Service, you will retain a copy of such Your Content, and Mode shall not under any circumstances have possession of the only copy of such Your Content.
