Terms of Service
Last updated: October 15, 2024
Your use of the Prisma service is governed by this agreement (the "Terms"). "Prisma" means Prisma Data, Inc and its subsidiaries or affiliates involved in providing the Prisma Service. The "Prisma Service" means the services Prisma makes available through this website, including the website itself, the Prisma cloud computing platform, the Prisma API, add-ons, and any other software or services offered by Prisma, including Early Access releases.
"Free Tier" refers to the no-cost access tier of the Prisma Services, which provides limited usage and features as detailed on the pricing page. Prisma reserves the right to modify the scope, availability, and features of the Free Tier at any time without prior notice.
In order to use the Prisma Services, you must first agree to the Terms. You can agree to the Terms by actually using the Prisma Services. You understand and agree that Prisma will treat your use of the Prisma Services as acceptance of the Terms from that point onwards.
You may not use the Prisma Services if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Prisma, or (b) you are a person barred from receiving the Prisma Services under the laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Prisma Services.
You acknowledge that any purchases made are not contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features.
Early Access products or features are provided "as is" and may contain bugs, errors, or other issues. They are subject to significant changes during the development period, and any data stored during this period may be wiped upon the conclusion of the Early Access phase. Prisma Optimize is intended for testing and development purposes only and should not be used in production environments due to potential data loss risks.
You must provide accurate and complete registration information any time you register to use the Prisma Services. You are responsible for the security of your passwords and for any use of your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account, you agree to notify Prisma immediately.
Your use of the Prisma Services must comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, including any laws regarding the export of data or software.
You agree not to (a) access the administrative interface of the Prisma Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Prisma in connection with the Prisma Services, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Prisma, or (b) engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Prisma Services (or the servers and networks which are connected to the Service).
You may use the Prisma Services only to develop and run applications on the Prisma infrastructure. You may not use the Prisma Services for the purpose of bringing an intellectual property infringement claim against Prisma or for the purpose of creating a product or service competitive with the Prisma Services.
The Prisma Services shall be subject to the privacy policy. You agree to the use of your data in accordance with Prisma's privacy policies.
You agree to protect the privacy and legal rights of the end users of your application. You must obtain necessary consents under applicable data protection laws, and provide adequate privacy notices disclosing information about end-user data visibility to your applications and to Prisma.
Usage data from Early Access products may be used to support improvements and bug fixes.
Subject to the Terms, the Prisma Services are provided to you without charge up to certain limits. Usage over these limits requires your purchase of additional resources or services. The pricing for additional resources and services can be found on the Prisma pricing page.
For all purchased resources and services, Prisma will bill your credit card on a monthly basis. Late payments bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). Charges are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes and government charges. Prisma reserves the right to discontinue service for late payment.
Any refunds remain at Prisma's sole discretion and are provided in credit form only. Card information may be shared with payment processors and credit agencies.
Prisma may change its fees and payment policies by notifying you at least fifteen (15) days before the beginning of the billing cycle in which such change will take effect. Free Tier and Starter Plan modifications take immediate effect via pricing page updates.
You may not create multiple accounts to avoid fees or bypass usage limits. Prisma may consolidate accounts or require upgrades in such cases.
Annual subscriptions run for 12 months with automatic renewal absent 30-day cancellation notice. Annual plans require full upfront payment with no refunds. Reminder emails arrive 35-45 days before renewal. Cancellation requires notice 30 days before the renewal date. Subscription term modifications receive 60 days' email notice.
Free Tier access depends on usage limits and feature availability. Prisma may suspend abusive users and restrict support or premium features to paid plans.
You understand that all information (such as data files, written text, computer software, music, audio files or other sounds, photographs, videos or other images) which you may have access to as part of, or through your use of, the Prisma Services are the sole responsibility of the person from which such content originated. All such information is referred to as the "Content."
Prisma reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to remove any or all Content from the Prisma Services. You agree to immediately take down any Content that violates the Acceptable Use Policy, including pursuant to a take down request from Prisma. In the event that you elect not to comply with a request from Prisma to take down certain Content, Prisma reserves the right to directly take down such Content or to disable Applications.
You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Prisma has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) the Application or any Content that you create, transmit or display while using the Prisma Services and for the consequences of your actions (including any loss or damage which Prisma may suffer) by doing so.

Open source software licenses for components of the Prisma Services released under an open source license constitute separate written agreements. To the limited extent that the open source software licenses expressly supersede these Terms, the open source licenses govern your agreement with Prisma for the use of the components of the Prisma Services released under an open source license.

You agree that any termination of your access to the Prisma Services may be without prior notice, and you agree that Prisma will not be liable to you or any third party for such termination.
For Free Tier users, Prisma may discontinue access with reasonable opportunities for upgrade or data export. You are solely responsible for exporting your Content prior to termination of your account for any reason, provided that if Prisma terminates your account, Prisma will provide you a reasonable opportunity to retrieve your Content.
