Foreword
Effective as of 9th May 2022
Please read our Terms of Service (“agreement”) carefully because these terms govern your access and use of our site and application.
In these Terms of Service, the NestScale website (“https://nestscale.com/”, which is referred to as “the Site”) and the services accessible from the NestScale website are collectively referred to as “the Services.” “User”, “you”, “your” refers both to you as an individual and to the entity you represent. The provider of the Services is referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “NestScale”.
By accepting this agreement, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, please do not use our services. If you violate any of these Terms of Service, we reserve the right to cancel your account or block access to your account without notice.
Access to the services
NestScale users have access to the Services as described on the Site, and the accessible features vary in accordance with the selected service subscription plan, as offered and detailed on the Site. Users are also provided applicable standard customer support for the Services at no additional charge. During the subscription term, NestScale may modify the features and functionality of the Services for which users will be given commercially reasonable notice of any deprecation of any feature or functionality in advance.
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide this Site and the Services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, you acknowledge and agree that there are times the Site and/or the Services may be inaccessible due to several reasons including, but not limited to, repairs and periodic maintenance (of which we will notice our users in advance), equipment malfunctions, network interruption, or other force majeure events that we have no control over.
Unauthorized access and/or use of the Site and the Services are strictly inhibited, and we reserve the right to take necessary measures in conformity with applicable law to prevent them such as technological barriers and contacting your Internet Service Provider regarding the unauthorized use.

Account Suspension and Termination
NestScale, in its sole discretion, has the right to limit your use of the Services, suspend or terminate your account when: (a) we do not receive your payment for your subscription plan when it is due, (b) we have evidence to reasonably suspect you of breaching this Agreement and/or other applicable provisions, (c) we are obliged by law or any authority that have jurisdiction over our business operation, and (d) we have security concerns about your account.
In the case of overdue payment, your access to the Services will be suspended until the payment is completed and the billing cycle is continued.
Payment
Payment & Billing
NestScale does offer a free trial for each subscription plan, as specified on the pricing page. When the free trial expires, you will have to make a payment in accordance with the current pricing if you wish to continue using the Services.
Monthly billing cycles will be based on the date of the month you purchase the Services. The length of a billing cycle is 30 days.
Upgrades
Any incremental charges related to upgrading your plan, such as increasing the number of agents during your subscription, will be charged in the same billing cycle. Plan subscription fees will only be charged in accordance with the remaining days of the billing cycle.
Refund
The payments for the use of the Services are not refundable by NestScale. The lack of use after payment, account deactivation, or account termination request, in particular, does not entitle you to a refund of your payments to NestScale.
Taxes
Taxes are not included in our charges unless otherwise specified. All such taxes, or charges are your responsibility. You agree to pay any taxes that may be imposed as a result of your use of the Services or any payments you make for NestScale.
Price Changes
NestScale reserves the right, in compliance with the Terms, to change the prices or billing terms at any moment. Such changes will be published on the Site and may take effect immediately without further notice to users. However, we make reasonable commercial efforts to send you email and in-app notifications of these price changes. If you have purchased or received Services for a period of months, price and fee adjustments will take effect when the Services in issue are due for renewal (next billing cycle). In case a user adds more additional agents that exceed the subscription plan when the billing cycle has not ended, new pricing will be applied for the additional agents only, and new plan subscription fee will be applied starting from the next billing cycle.
