Terms of Service

Last updated: June 24, 2022

Read carefully the following terms of service, which contain the exclusive terms and conditions between Semaphore Technologies doo, a Serbian enterprise, with registered seat address at Svetozara Miletića 10, Novi Sad, Republic of Serbia (“Semaphore”), and you (together with the business or other entity you represent, if any, and on behalf of which you are accessing this site or any of the services offered by Semaphore, hereinafter: the “Customer”), regarding the provision and use of the services offered by Semaphore and the site.

You represent and warrant to Semaphore that you have full legal authority to accept these terms of service and that you are not banned from accessing or using the site or the services under the laws of any country. Whereby, if you are accepting and entering into these terms of service on behalf of your employer or another entity, you hereby explicitly represent and warrant that you have the full legal authority to bind your employer or such other entity to these terms of service.

Where you sign up for any of the Services (as defined below) using an e-mail address from your employer or another entity then you shall be deemed to represent such party and any acceptance of these terms of service (in line with their provisions) will bind your employer or such other entity that you represent.

1. Acceptance of terms

Semaphore owns and operates the https://semaphoreci.com website, including all services, tools, forums and other content and information made available here (collectively, the “Site”), in addition to various software testing tools, application program interfaces (APIs), business software, and other services available online via the Site or otherwise (including through hybrid hosting, please refer to section 23 Hybrid Hosting Services) (collectively, the “Services” and each individual service, a “Service”). Among other things and from time to time, certain software test automation tools and other business applications are made available at the Site (including without limitation, the Services) or otherwise (including through hybrid hosting) subject to acceptance without modification of all of the current terms and conditions contained herein (“Terms of Service”). The Terms of Service shall be deemed to include all other operating rules, policies and procedures that are referred to herein or that may otherwise be published at the Site by Semaphore, as they may be revised and in effect from time to time (collectively, the “Policies” and individually, the “Policy”), including without limitation, the Privacy Policy, Copyright Policy, Service Level Agreement (subject to conditions provided in the Service Level Agreement) and Security Policy.

The Terms of Service are in addition to (not in lieu of) any other agreement (whether in writing or clickwrap) that you enter into with Semaphore(now or in the future) regarding any of the Services (the “Primary Agreement”). If there is any conflict or inconsistency between any provision of the Terms of Service and any Primary Agreement, the provision of the Primary Agreement shall prevail.

If you do not agree to all of the Terms of Service, or if YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE OR AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, then do not access or use the Site or any of the Services. COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING ANY ASPECT OF THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE AND CREATE A LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE CONTRACT UNDER WHICH YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE, WITHOUT MODIFICATION.

2. Changes

Semaphore reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace the Terms of Service (including any Policy), in whole or in part, at any time. Semaphore will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer in advance of the effective date of any material change. Change notices may be communicated by postings at the Site and/or by electronic mail. In any case, Customer should periodically check the Terms of Service for changes. Continued use of the Site or any of the Services following notice of any change constitutes Customer’s acceptance of that change. The Terms of Service may not otherwise be amended, except by a written agreement executed by Customer and Semaphore.

Semaphore may modify or terminate operation of the Site (including without limitation, any of the Services), in whole or in part, at any time.

3. Eligibility

Customer must be at least 13 years old to visit the Site. Otherwise, Customer is prohibited from accessing, registering for or using the Site. Semaphore will not collect personally identifiable information from any person that is actually known to it to be a child under the age of 13.

The Services are available only to users that can form legally binding contracts under applicable law (and in the case of individuals, who are at least 18 years old). Otherwise, Customer is prohibited from accessing, registering for or otherwise using any of the Services. If applicable, any employee of a Customer shall be deemed to be acting on behalf of the Customer at all times.

Semaphore may refuse to offer or continue offering the Services to any person or entity and may change its eligibility criteria from time to time.

4. Registration

To sign up for the Services, Customer must register for an account on the Services (an “Account”). If Customer does not register, then few other parts of the Site (if any) will be available to Customer.

To register, Customer must provide Semaphore with current, complete and accurate information, as more specifically required by the then current registration procedures. By way of illustration and not limitation, Customer may be required to specify a username, and to provide the name of an individual contact, company name, address, zip code, legitimate electronic mail address and certain additional information. In order to obtain paid Services, Customer will be required to provide valid credit card or mobile telephone account information for billing purposes. Customer shall maintain and update its Account from time to time, to ensure that it is always current, complete and accurate. Customer may apply for registration at the Site. Semaphore reserves the right not to accept Customer’s application to become a registered user, in its sole discretion.

Upon acceptance, Semaphore will provide access credentials to the Customer. Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its access credentials and other account information, and will be solely liable for any and all activities under its account. Customer shall be responsible for keeping all account information up-to-date. Customer shall not: (i) select or use as a username a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) use as a username a name subject to any rights of a person other than the Customer without appropriate authorization; or (iii) use, as a username, a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. Customer is solely responsible for the activity that occurs on Customer’s Account, regardless of whether the activities are undertaken by the Customer, Customer’s employees or a third party (including Customer’s contractors or agents). Customer may never use another person’s user account or registration information for the Services without permission. Customer must notify Semaphore immediately of any change in Customer’s eligibility to use the Services (including any changes to or revocation of any licenses from state authorities), breach of security or unauthorized use of Customer’s Account. Customer should never publish, distribute or post login information for his or her Account. Customer shall have the ability to delete his or her Account, either directly or through a request made to one of Semaphore’s employees or affiliates. Semaphore will not be liable for any loss or damage as a result of Customer’s failure to provide Semaphore with accurate information or to keep his or her Account secure.

To the extent that the Customer accesses the Services through third-party sites (such as GitHub) and/or with the use of accounts created on such sites, the Customer acknowledges that Semaphore is not responsible for the performance or accessibility to such sites and that such third-party sites and the use of accounts created on such sites are also governed by terms and conditions of such third party.

The provisions of this Section 4 accordingly apply also to Hybrid Hosting Services (as defined in Section 23 herein).

Customer represents that all User Content provided by him or her is accurate, complete, up-to-date, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Customer acknowledges that all Content, including User Content, accessed by it while using the Site and/or Services is at Customer’s own risk and Customer will be solely responsible for any damage or loss to it or any other party resulting therefrom.

The Site and Services may contain Content specifically provided by Semaphore, its partners or its users and such Content is protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, trade secrets or other proprietary rights and laws. Customer shall abide by and maintain all copyright notices, information, and restrictions contained in any Content accessed through the Site or Services.

Subject to these Terms of Service, Semaphore grants each user of the Services a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable license to use (i.e., to download and display locally) Content solely for purposes of using the Site or Services. Use, reproduction, modification, distribution or storage of any Content for other than purposes of using the Site or Services is expressly prohibited without prior written permission from Semaphore. You shall not sell, license, rent, or otherwise use or exploit any Content for commercial use or in any way that violates any third party right.

By submitting any User Content to the Site, excluding privately transmitted User Content, Customer hereby grants Semaphore a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, aggregate, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise fully exploit such User Content in connection with the Site, the Services and Semaphore’s (and its successors’ and assigns’) businesses, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Site or the Services (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels (including, without limitation, third party websites and feeds), and including after Customer’s termination of Account or the Services.

At prices described elsewhere at the Site or otherwise mutually agreed by Semaphore and the Customer, Semaphore charges fees for accessing and using certain Services, which are subject to change in Semaphore’s sole discretion. Price changes for Customers using the Services or the Site will be made known to the Customer in accordance with Section 2. If Customer elects to access or use any fee-bearing Service, Customer agrees to pay all applicable fees resulting from all use of that Service under its account, in the amounts, at the times and subject to any specified conditions. Such fees may be specified as being payable in advance or in arrears; fees may be fixed, contingent or variable (e.g., depending on usage factors); and fees may be specified on a recurring basis (e.g., subscription fees and/or usage fees, which may be payable monthly, quarterly or annually) or non-recurring basis (e.g., one-time activation fees).

Unless specified otherwise, all amounts due hereunder shall be paid upon order in US dollars, in immediately available funds by credit card or mobile telephone account, in full without set-off, counterclaim or deduction. If any payment is past due, Semaphore shall have the right to take whatever action it deems appropriate (including without limitation, suspending or terminating Customer’s account or its access and use of the Services). Customer agrees to reimburse Semaphore for all reasonable costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in collecting payments. All payments to Semaphore are exclusive of state, local and foreign taxes, duties, tariffs, levies, withholdings and similar assessments (including without limitation, sales taxes, use taxes and value added taxes), and Customer agrees to bear and be liable for the payment of all such charges (excluding taxes based upon the Semaphore’s net income).

10. Customer Support

The Service is provided to Customer only for its internal business purposes. Any unauthorized use of the Service is expressly prohibited (including without limitation, accessing any Service for which the Customer is not authorized, or any use not expressly permitted in the Terms of Service, such as, for example, reselling the Services). Customer is solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under its account or username, including the provision of Customer Data to Semaphore.

Reproducing, copying or distributing any content, materials or design elements from the Site for any purpose is strictly prohibited without Semaphore’s express prior written permission.

In connection with using the Services, Customer agrees to abide by all applicable local, state, national and international laws, regulations and rules.

  • Infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, privacy right or other right of any party;

  • Customer knows is false, misleading, untruthful or inaccurate;
  • Constitutes unauthorized or unsolicited advertising;
  • Impersonates any person or entity, including any of Semaphore’s employees or representatives; or
  • Includes anyone’s identification documents or sensitive financial information.
  • Semaphore may, at its sole discretion, immediately suspend or terminate any Customer’s account or access to the Services should its conduct fail (or appear to fail) to strictly conform to any provision above.

11. Third party sites

Customer may access the Site from, and link from the Site to, other websites on the Internet that are not under Semaphore’s control. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Semaphore is not responsible for the accuracy, legality, appropriateness or any other aspect of the content or function of such websites. The inclusion of any such link does not imply endorsement of the website by Semaphore or any association with its operators. Additional or different terms and conditions may apply when Customer accesses and uses other websites.

12. Propriatary rights

Customers. Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted hereunder, no other license is granted, no other use is permitted and Customer (and its licensors) shall own and retain all right, title and interest (including all patent rights, copyright rights, trade secret rights, trademark rights and other intellectual property and proprietary rights) in and to the Customer Data and Results.

Restrictions. Customer shall not, directly or indirectly (a) use any Software or other information gained from the Site, or through the access and use of the Services, to create any software, platform or documentation that is similar to any of the Software, Platform or Documentation or for any other purpose other than for the access to and use of the Site and the Services, (b) attempt to access any Platform component or to disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise discover any source code or underlying organization, structures, ideas or algorithms of the Platform or (except and only to the extent these restrictions are expressly prohibited by applicable statutory law) the Software, (c)encumber, sublicense, distribute, transfer, rent, lease, lend or use the Software in any time-share or service bureau arrangement, (d) copy, adapt, combine, create derivative works of, translate, localize, port or otherwise modify any Software or Documentation, (e) use the Software or Results, or allow the transfer, transmission, export or re-export of all or any part of the Software, Results or any product thereof, in violation of any export control laws or regulations of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction or (f) permit any third party to do any of the foregoing.

General Learning. Customer agrees that Semaphore is free to use and disclose the Analytics and to reuse all general knowledge, experience, know-how, works and technologies (including ideas, concepts, processes and techniques) related to the Results or acquired during provision of the Services (including without limitation, that which it could have acquired performing the same or similar services for another customer); provided, Semaphore will not use or disclose any of Customer Data.

General Learning. Confidential Information means any and all information provided by Semaphore, including persons acting on its behalf, to the Customer, as well as all other information otherwise obtained (learned) by the Customer during and in relation to the performance of these Terms of Service and/or the Primary Agreement, and/or related to the Site, Software, Platform, Documentation or Services, including, without limitation, algorithms, APIs, rules and formulae, software, source code, copyright, techniques, sketches, drawings, models, know-how, registered and unregistered designs, business plans, financial information, business names, domain names, inventions, trademarks, trade secrets and proprietary information, apparatus, equipment, information relating to past, present, future or proposed products and services of Semaphore, such as information concerning research and development work, design details, customer lists, business forecasts, sales and marketing plans, and all such other information which may be revealed to the Customer for the purpose(s) described in these Terms of Service or the Primary Agreement, in any form (whether disclosed orally, in hard copy, electronic, or otherwise), and regardless of the fact whether the information has been marked as confidential or not. For the avoidance of doubt, any information provided prior to the effective date of these Terms of Services and/or the Primary Agreement for the same purposes, shall be, as well, deemed as confidential.

The Customer shall not disclose or make available in any other manner to any third party any Confidential Information, during the term of these Terms of Services, the Primary Agreement and indefinitely after their termination. The Customer also agrees to use such information only for the purpose and to the extent necessary to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under or in connection with these Terms of Service and/or the Primary Agreement. Obligations of confidentiality from this Section 12 do not apply to information which was already made public before their disclosure to the Customer, as well as to information that must be published in line with the applicable law.

The Customer is obliged to immediately return, upon first call of Semaphore, any documentation received from Semaphore, or at the option of Semaphore to destroy such documentation, including any copies and related notes. This obligation shall be deemed fulfilled only if a written certificate of return or destruction of all the documentation has been made by the Customer and delivered to Semaphore, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The Customer shall ensure that any person, acting on its behalf in performance of these Terms of Service and/or the Primary Agreement, undertakes the confidentiality obligations in line with this Section 12, including, where necessary, by ensuring that a separate non-disclosure agreement is entered with such person.

Each Customer agrees that Semaphore may include such Customer’s name and trademarks in a list of Semaphore customers, online or in promotional materials. Each Customer also agrees that Semaphore may verbally reference such Customer as a Customer of the Services. Customer may opt out of the provisions in this section by e-mailing a request to support@semaphoreci.com.

14. Termination

Customer may stop accessing and using the Site and Services, at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. The Customer acknowledges that in cases where it ceases the use of the Service(s) prior to expiration of the agreed subscription period for the use of the respective Service(s), it will not be entitled to reimbursement of any fees paid (or payable) under the Primary Agreement or these Terms of Service, including for the proportion of the period in which the Customer did not use the Services but has paid (or is to pay) appropriate fees for. Semaphore may terminate the Site, or any of the Services, or Customer’s access thereto, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. Customer may terminate its registration and account at any time by sending an email to support@semaphoreci.com that includes Customer’s electronic mail address and account username.

Upon any termination, all rights and obligations of the parties shall cease and Customer shall immediately cease using the Service, except that (a) all obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of termination (including without limitation, all payment obligations) and all remedies for breach of the Terms of Service shall survive and (b) the provisions of Sections 8, 11 – 20 shall survive. After termination or any continuous 6-month period of inactivity, Semaphore has no obligation to maintain any content in Customer’s account or to forward any unread or unsent messages to Customer or any other User or third party.

IN NO EVENT SHALL, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, SEMAPHORE(OR ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE CONCERNING ANY SUBJECT MATTER related to the SITE OR SERVICES, regardless of the form of any claim or action (whether in CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), for any (A) MATTER BEYOND ITS REASONABLE CONTROL, (B) LOSS OR INACCURACY of data, loss or interruption OF USE, OR COST OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE TECHNOLOGIES, GOODS or SERVICES, (c) INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF BUSINESS, REVENUES, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, OR (D) damages, IN THE AGGREGATE, in excess of Amounts PAID TO SEMAPHORE BY CUSTOMER DURING THE PRIOR 3-MONTH PERIOD, OR US$50.00, WHICHEVER IS GREATER, EVEN IF SEMAPHORE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THESE LIMITATIONS ARE INDEPENDENT FROM ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN.

17. Indemnification

Customer agrees to (a) defend Semaphore and its affiliates, licensors and suppliers, and their employees, contractors, officers, directors and representatives against any action or suit by a third party that arises out of any transaction or other dealings with any other user, Site Affiliate or other third party in which Customer is involved, Customer’s use or misuse of the Service, or Customer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Terms of Service or Primary Agreement and (b) indemnify the indemnitees for settlement amounts or damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) awarded and arising out of any such claim.

Semaphore reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Customer, in which case Customer will provide Semaphore with all reasonable information, cooperation and assistance to defend, compromise or settle the claim. To the extent it is not possible under applicable law for Semaphore to formally exclusively assume defense from the Customer in the respective proceedings, the Customer agrees to undertake any action which would ensure that Semaphore assumes and controls the defense in practice by following any and all instructions provided by Semaphore (or persons authorized by it) in the defense of claims (including the instruction on which legal counsel to choose), as well as to undertake any action that might be necessary in order for Semaphore to participate in the respective proceedings (to the extent possible).

18. International use

Semaphore makes no representation that the Site or Services are appropriate or legally available for use in locations outside Serbia and the United States, and accessing and using the Service is prohibited from territories where doing so would be illegal. Accessing or using the Services from other locations may be done at Customer’s own initiative and Customer will be responsible for compliance with all local laws.

Customer expressly consents to Semaphore’s processing of personal information in accordance with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Customer understands and agrees that its personal information may be stored, processed and transferred in the country where it was collected and in Serbia, and that Serbian laws regarding the collection, storage, processing and transfer of personal information may be less stringent than the laws where Customer is located. If Customer is a business or other entity, then it agrees that each person who accesses or uses the Site or Services through Customer’s account has given express consent to the collection, storage, processing and transfer of his or her personal information as provided herein, unless such processing of his or her personal information is otherwise allowed under applicable law. For more information on processing of personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

19. Disputes; Choice of law and forum

A printed version of the Terms of Service and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

The Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Serbia, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. In the event of any conflict between Serbian and foreign laws, rules and regulations, Serbian laws, rules and regulations shall govern. Neither the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods nor any implementation of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act in any jurisdiction shall apply to the Terms of Service. Customer expressly agrees that the exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or action arising out of or relating to the Terms of Service or use of the Site or Services shall be filed only in the state or state courts located in Serbia, and Customer further agrees and submits to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action. Customer is not authorized to use the Site or Services in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of the Terms of Service, including without limitation, this section.

20. General provisions

The Terms of Service (including the Policies, and together with any Primary Agreement) are the entire agreement between Customer and Semaphore with respect to the Site and Services, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between Customer and Semaphore with respect to the Services. If any provision of the Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms of Service will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

Customer’s rights and obligations under the Terms of Service are personal to Customer, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by Customer except with Semaphore’s prior written consent. Semaphore may assign, transfer, subcontract or delegate this Agreement and/or any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. All waivers, consents and modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time or for any period (including without limitation, Semaphore’s failure to enforce any use restriction) will not be construed as a waiver of such rights. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the Service or Terms of Service, and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect. All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.

Customer acknowledges that (a) it has read and understands the Terms of Service, (b) the Terms of Service have the same force and effect as a signed agreement, (c) Semaphore requires identification of the Customer before providing any Service or issuing any license and (d) neither the provision of any Service nor issuance of any license constitutes general publication of the Software or any other part of the Platform.

22. Reporting violations

23. Hybrid Hosting Services

As part of the Services (as defined above) and subject to the conditions of the Terms of Service prescribed for the provision of Services, Semaphore also provides various software testing tools, application program interfaces (APIs) and business software available with hybrid hosting, such as Semaphore CI/CD agent (the “Agent”), a hybrid platform which is downloaded, installed, and used on servers with the Customer, but interacting with other Services of Semaphore to operate (collectively, “Hybrid Hosting Services”).

Unless otherwise specified herein or in the Primary Agreement, the provision of Hybrid Hosting Services is subject to the conditions of these Terms of Service applicable to Services, and additionally with the following:

  • the Customer represents and warrants that it owns rights or holds a license to any servers on which the Agent is installed, and that it is solely responsible for the configuration, security, and maintenance of such servers;
  • Customer represents and warrants that the Agent may not work on all software or hardware platforms or servers of the Customer or when combined with those of Semaphore, and that Semaphore will not be liable to remedy or compensate such cases.
