Terms and conditions

Last updated: 2024-12-26

Welcome to Exoquic (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the exoquic.com website (the “Site”), our event-streaming platform, and all associated services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Description of Services

1.1 Real-Time Event Streaming Platform

Exoquic builds, maintains, and hosts a fully managed infrastructure that allows businesses to transmit and receive real-time events with minimal latency. We reduce the complexity, cost, and overhead of real-time application and feature development, and infrastructure management, enabling our customers to focus on their core business.

1.2 API Libraries & Documentation

We provide open-source libraries, licensed under Apache 2.0, which allow our customers to integrate with Exoquic’s platform.

2.1 Business Use Only

You represent that you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a business entity and have the authority to bind that entity. Exoquic’s Services are intended for professional and commercial use, not for personal or consumer use.

2.2 GitHub OAuth

To access the Services, you are required to authorize using GitHub OAuth. By doing so, you represent that GitHub credentials used are yours or that you are otherwise authorized to use them. You agree to keep such credentials secure and notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use.

2.3 Accuracy of Information

You are responsible for providing accurate information during the Github OAuth authorization.

3. Permitted Use and Restrictions

3.1 License to Use the Services

Subject to these Terms, Exoquic grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use our event-streaming platform for your business purposes only. This includes integrating our open-source libraries (@exoquic/sub, @exoquic/auth, @exoquic/pub) with your applications and services and accessing our infrastructure through API endpoints documented on exoquic.com.

3.2 Prohibited Uses

You must not:

  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble Exoquic’s platform or any proprietary technology, except to the extent permitted by law.
  • Use the Services to introduce malicious code (e.g., viruses, trojans, worms) or engage in any activity that disrupts or compromises our infrastructure.
  • Bypass or disable any security mechanisms or access controls implemented by Exoquic.
  • Misuse the Services in a manner that violates applicable laws, infringes third-party rights, or hampers the performance of the Services for others.

3.3 User Responsibilities

You are responsible for ensuring that your applications comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, if relevant). You are responsible for ensuring that your end-users are authorized to receive the events being transmitted. This includes implementing appropriate checks before authorizing subscribers via @exoquic/auth. You are responsible for ensuring that your applications only publish events that you are legally permitted to share or distribute.

4. Open-Source Libraries

4.1 Apache 2.0 License

Our JavaScript/Node.js libraries (@exoquic/sub, @exoquic/auth, @exoquic/pub) are licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Your use of these libraries is governed by the terms of that license, which includes:

  • Freedom to modify, distribute, or otherwise use the libraries in accordance with Apache 2.0 terms.
  • Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability as provided in the license text.

4.2 Hosted Services Separate from Library License

While the libraries are open-source, the hosted infrastructure and event-streaming platform are offered under these Terms. Your right to access our managed Services ends if you violate these Terms, even though the open-source license to the library code remains intact under Apache 2.0.

5. Data Handling and Privacy

5.1 Data Protection

Exoquic processes event data on your behalf as necessary to deliver real-time services. Depending on your business model and geographic location, the data you send through Exoquic may be subject to GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulatory frameworks. You are solely responsible for:

  • Determining whether you need to comply with these regulations.
  • Entering into any necessary data processing agreements with us if required by law.
  • Ensuring that your end-users have provided any required consents for their data to be processed.

5.2 Privacy Policy

Our collection and use of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and agree to our Privacy Policy. You also agree to comply with your own privacy policy when interacting with end-users and collecting their data.

5.3 Security Measures

We implement commercially reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality and security of the data transferred through our Services. However, you acknowledge that no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against cyber threats.

6. Service Availability and Limitations

6.1 Uptime and Maintenance

Exoquic strives to maintain a high level of uptime. However, the Services may occasionally be interrupted for scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, system upgrades, or due to reasons beyond our control. We are not liable for any losses or damages resulting from Service interruptions.

6.2 Performance Metrics

Exoquic aims to deliver events with millisecond latency where possible. Actual performance may vary based on factors such as network conditions, your integration, and the volume of events.

6.3 Scaling and Quotas

Our pricing model accommodates growth in event throughput and storage. We reserve the right to implement quotas or rate limits to maintain fair usage and system stability. If you exceed these limits, we may require you to upgrade to a higher plan or adjust your usage accordingly.

7. Fees, Payments, and Refunds

Exoquic currently offers its Services to Customers free of charge. There are no fees associated with using our real-time event streaming platform, APIs (@exoquic/sub, @exoquic/auth, @exoquic/pub), or accessing our documentation site (“Docs Site”) at this time.

  • Any claim by your end-users related to your use of the Service.
