TERMS OF USE



Welcome to confluent.io, the website of Confluent, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Confluent,” “we,” or “us”). This page explains the terms by which you may use
our website, our Community and any other Community related websites operated by
Confluent, and the Confluent Hub (“Website”). By accessing or using the Website,
you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Terms
of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) and to the collection and use of your information
as set forth in the Confluent Privacy Statementat www.confluent.io/privacy,
whether or not you are a registered user of our Website. Confluent reserves the
right to make unilateral modifications to these terms and will provide notice of
these changes as described below. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users,
and others who access the Website (“Users”). If you are entering into this
Agreement on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you
have the authority to bind that company or organization to this Agreement, and
the terms “you” and “your” will refer to that company or organization.

Please read this Agreement carefully to ensure that you understand each
provision. This Agreement contains a mandatory individual arbitration and class
action/jury trial waiver provision that requires the use of arbitration on an
individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.

1. Use of Our Website The Website provides a place for you to learn information
about Confluent and its products. Confluent’s products and services are governed
by separate commercial terms. Your participation in the Community is governed by
the Confluent Code of Conduct for Community. The Confluent Hub (“Confluent Hub”)
is an online listing of connectors, technical templates and more (“Components”).
If you download any Components from the Confluent Hub, those Components are
subject to the separate license terms made available with such Components. If
you would like to purchase any products or services from Confluent, please
contact us via email at contact@confluent.io

A. Eligibility This is a contract between you and Confluent. You must read and
agree to these terms before using the Website. If you do not agree, you may not
use the Website and must leave the Confluent Hub. You may use the Website only
if you can form a binding contract with Confluent, and only in compliance with
this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international
laws, rules and regulations. Any use or access to the Website by anyone under 13
is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. The Website is not
available to any Users previously removed from the Website by Confluent.

B. Website Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are hereby
granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to
use the Website for your personal, noncommercial use only and as permitted by
the features of the Website. Confluent reserves all rights not expressly granted
herein in the Website and the Confluent Content (as defined below). Confluent
may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason.

C. Website Rules You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited
activities: (i) copying, distributing, or disclosing any part of the Website in
any medium, including without limitation by any automated or non-automated
“scraping”; (ii) using any automated system, including without limitation
“robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” etc., to access the Website in a manner
that sends more request messages to Confluent servers than a human can
reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line
web browser (except that Confluent grants the operators of public search engines
revocable permission to use spiders to copy publiclyvailable materials from
https://www.confluent.io/ for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent
necessary for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials,
but not caches or archives of such materials); (iii) transmitting spam, chain
letters, or other unsolicited email; (iv) attempting to interfere with,
compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or
from the servers running the Website; (v) taking any action that imposes, or may
impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load
on our infrastructure; (vi) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other
software agents through the Website; (vii) collecting or harvesting any
personally identifiable information from the Website; (viii) using the Website
for any commercial solicitation purposes; (ix) impersonating another person or
otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting
fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity; (x) interfering with the
proper working of the Website; (xi) accessing any content on the Website through
any technology or means other than those provided or authorized by the Website;
or (xii) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the
Website, including without limitation features that prevent or restrict use or
copying of any content or enforce limitations on use of the Website or the
content therein.

Accessing any audiovisual content that may be available on the Website for any
purpose or in any manner other than Streaming (as defined below) is expressly
prohibited unless explicitly permitted by the functionality of the Website.
“Streaming” means a contemporaneous digital transmission of an audiovisual work
via the Internet from the Website to a User’s device in such a manner that the
data is intended for real-time viewing and not intended to be copied, stored,
permanently downloaded, or redistributed by the User.

We may, without prior notice, change the Website; stop providing the Website or
features of the Website, to you or to Users generally; or create usage limits
for the Website. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your
access to the Website without notice and liability for any reason, including if
in our sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no
reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound
by this Agreement.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Website Users. We
reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and
other Users. Confluent shall have no liability for your interactions with other
Users, or for any User’s action or inaction.

D. Confluent Hub In the Confluent Hub, you can browse, download, and/or
contribute components for the Confluent Platform ecosystem. Most of the
Components made available on the Confluent Hub are published as open source and
provided and licensed to you by third parties, as described in these Terms of
Use. Your use of such third-party Components will be governed by such third
party’s terms. Please read those terms carefully before accepting them.

Your use of a Component will be governed by the terms and conditions of a
license agreement between you and the provider ("Provider") of the Component (a
"License"), as specified in the Component download process and/or package.
Unless otherwise expressly stated in the Provider License, Provider or its
licensors own all title, copyright and other intellectual property rights in the
Component, and the Component is licensed to you directly by the Provider, not
sold. Confluent is not responsible for any transmission, collection, disclosure,
modification, use or deletion of your data by or through third-party Components
or their Providers.

Account Registration and Security. You may need to register for an account to
use some features of Confluent Hub. You must provide accurate registration
information when you register for an account, using a valid name and valid
contact information. You may not use some else’s account without their
permission. You are responsible for the security of your passwords and for any
use of your account.

Reviews. The Confluent Hub allows you to review Components you have used. You
may post only one review per Component, unless the later review reflects a
good-faith rating change based on further evaluation. If you post a review of
your own Component or the Component of a competitor, you must disclose your
affiliation.

Content. The Confluent Hub may enable you to post, upload, or submit text,
information, data or other content, including reviews as described above
(collectively, “Content”). You are solely responsible for any Content that you
post, upload, or submit to Confluent Hub.

You shall not:

 * submit Content that you don't have the right to submit, unless you have the
   owner's permission; this includes material covered by another party’s
   copyright, patent, trade secret, privacy, or any other proprietary right;
 * upload or transmit any material (including any computer virus, worm, bot, or
   device) that is likely to harm or corrupt Confluent Hub, or harm or corrupt
   our or anyone else's computer systems or data; or
 * use Confluent Hub to solicit any users for commercial purposes.

 

If you post, upload or submit Content, you represent that you either own all
such Content, or you have the right to provide such Content.

You are required to refrain from posting any illegal, abusive or other
inappropriate Content.

Confluent may, but shall not be required to, monitor Content. We reserve the
right, in our sole discretion and for any reason at any time, to remove any
Content. You hereby grant to Confluent a nonexclusive, worldwide, irrevocable,
perpetual, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free to use, distribute,
reproduce, modify, excerpt, attribute, adapt, publicly perform and publicly
display Content that you provide and to incorporate it into other works in any
format or medium now known or later developed, and to permit others to do so.

Component Contributions. The Confluent Hub may enable you to submit components
for inclusion as Components in the Confluent Hub. You will ensure that all such
components and any associated Content comply with this Agreement, including the
guidelines and policies setting forth requirements for including your components
in the Confluent Hub, which Confluent makes available at
https://www.confluent.io/hub/, and which are hereby incorporated into this
Agreement.

You shall not:

 * submit components that you don't have the right to submit, unless you have
   the owner's permission; this includes material covered by another party’s
   copyright, patent, trade secret, privacy, or any other proprietary right; or
 * as part of your submission of a component, upload or include any material
   (including any computer virus, worm, bot, or device) that is likely to harm
   or corrupt Confluent Hub, or harm or corrupt Confluent’s or anyone else's
   computer systems or data.

 

For any submitted components, you hereby grant Confluent the nonexclusive,
royalty‐free, worldwide right and license (i) to distribute or make available
for download the components through the Confluent Hub to end users; (ii) to use,
reproduce, distribute, reformat and publicly display any related Content that
you provide regarding the components; and (iii) to use the components internally
for testing and evaluation purposes. You acknowledge that Confluent has no
obligation to distribute or list any component, or to continue to do so. You,
not Confluent, license your components to end users, and you must provide or
specify the applicable License. Your License must comply with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. You agree that Confluent does not and will not
have any responsibility or liability related to compliance or non‐compliance by
you or any end user under a License

thereby, including, without limitation, software, images, text, graphics,
illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights,
photographs, audio, videos, and music (the “Confluent Content”), and all

   Confluent Hub;

   Hub;

   redistributing such Components via an online listing similar to the Confluent
   Hub; or

   restrictions on copying, or account management.

of this Agreement and take appropriate remedial action.

to create a license in or under any such Intellectual Property Rights, and you
agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit,
publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative
works from any Confluent Content. Use of the Confluent Content for any purpose

never be able to defeat our security measures or use your personal information
for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal
information at your own risk.

6. Third-Party Links and Information The Website may contain links to
third-party materials that are not owned or controlled by Confluent. Confluent
does not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third-party sites,
information, materials, products, or services. If you access a third-party

understand that this Agreement and Confluent’s Privacy Statement do not apply to
your use of such sites. You expressly relieve Confluent from any and all
liability arising from your use of any third-party website, service, or content.

and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (i)
your use of and access to the Website, including any data or content transmitted
or received by you; (ii) your violation of any term of this Agreement, including
without limitation your breach of any of the representations and warranties
above; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without
limitation any right of privacy or intellectual property rights; (iv) your
violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (v) any content that is
submitted by you or someone on your behalf, including without limitation
misleading, false, or inaccurate information; (vi) your willful misconduct; or

submit or publish on the Confluent Hub, any materials you provide to be

8. No Warranty The Website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
Use of the Website is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, the Website is provided without warranties of any kind, whether
express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. No
advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Confluent
or through the Website will create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
Without limiting the foregoing, Confluent, its subsidiaries, its affiliates, and
its licensors do not warrant that the content is accurate, reliable or correct;
that the Website will meet your requirements; that the Website will be available
at any particular time or location, uninterrupted or secure; that any defects or
errors will be corrected; or that the Website is free of viruses or other
harmful components. Any content downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use
of the Website is downloaded at your own risk and you will be solely responsible
for any damage to your computer system or mobile device or loss of data that
results from such download or your use of the Website.

Confluent does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any
product or Website advertised or offered by a third party through the Website or
any hyperlinked Website or Website, and Confluent will not be a party to or in
any way monitor any transaction between you and third-party providers of
products or services.

Federal law, some states, provinces and other jurisdictions do not allow the
exclusion and limitations of certain implied warranties, so the above exclusions
may not apply to you. This Agreement gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers and
exclusions under this Agreement will not apply to the extent prohibited by
applicable law.

9. Limitation of Liability To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in
no event shall Confluent, its affiliates, agents, directors, employees,
suppliers or licensors be liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental,
special, consequential or exemplary damages, including without limitation
damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses,
arising out of or relating to the use of, or inability to use, this Website.
Under no circumstances will Confluent be responsible for any damage, loss or
injury resulting from hacking, tampering or other unauthorized access or use of
the Website or the information contained therein.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Confluent assumes no
liability or responsibility for any (i) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of
content; (ii) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever,
resulting from your access to or use of our Website; (iii) any unauthorized
access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all personal information
stored therein; (iv) any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from
the Website; (v) any bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be
transmitted to or through our Website by any third party; (vi) any errors or
omissions in any content or for any loss or damage incurred as a result of the
use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available
through the Website; and/or (vii) user content or the defamatory, offensive, or
illegal conduct of any third party. In no event shall Confluent, its affiliates,
agents, directors, employees, suppliers, or licensors be liable to you for any
claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses or costs in an
amount exceeding the amount you paid to Confluent hereunder or $100.00,
whichever is greater.

This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is
based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even
if Confluent has been advised of the possibility of such damage. The foregoing
limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in
the applicable jurisdiction.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you. This Agreement gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers, exclusions, and
limitations of liability under this Agreement will not apply to the extent
prohibited by applicable law.

The Website is controlled and operated from facilities in the United States.
Confluent makes no representations that the Website is appropriate or available
for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Website from other
jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for
compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations,
including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the
Website if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or
are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States
government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the
Website are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located
in the United States.

10. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

A. Governing Law. You agree that: (i) the Website shall be deemed solely based
in California; and (ii) the Website shall be deemed a passive one that does not
give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in
jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement shall be governed by the
internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its
conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement
evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration
conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly
excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and
state courts located in Santa Clara County, California for any actions for which
we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of
competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement,
misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets,
patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in
the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to
prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Santa Clara County, California is the
proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court
proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be
unenforceable.

B. Arbitration. Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to
arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from
Confluent. For any dispute with Confluent, you agree to first contact us at
contact@confluent.io and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In
the unlikely event that Confluent has not been able to resolve a dispute it has
with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or
controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as
provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this
Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by
binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures
then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at
www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County,
California, unless you and Confluent agree otherwise. If you are using the
Website for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any
JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules,
and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses.
If you are an individual using the Website for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS
may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply
for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by
the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s
fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you
may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging
in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in
the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in
this Section shall be deemed as preventing Confluent from seeking injunctive or
other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or
threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security,
Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.

C. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities,
regardless of whether they have obtained or used the Website for personal,
commercial or other purposes, all claims must be brought in the parties’
individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported
class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other
representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless
we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s
claims. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Confluent are
each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action,
collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative
proceeding of any kind.

11. General

A. Assignment. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder,
may not be transferred or assigned by you without our prior written consent, but
may be assigned by Confluent without restriction. Any attempted transfer or
assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

B. Notification Procedures and Changes to the Agreement. Confluent may provide
notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for
marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written
or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our Website, as
determined by Confluent in our sole discretion. Confluent reserves the right to
determine the form and means of providing notifications to our Users, provided
that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this
Agreement. Confluent is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your
network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address
you provide us. Confluent may, in its sole discretion, modify or update this
Agreement from time to time, and so you should review this page periodically.
When we change the Agreement in a material manner, we will update the ‘last
modified’ date at the bottom of this page and notify you that material changes
have been made to the Agreement. Your continued use of the Website after any
such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. Any changes
will take effect 30 days after they are posted. If you do not agree to any of
these terms or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to
access) the Website.

C. Entire Agreement/Severability. This Agreement, together with any amendments
and any additional agreements you may enter into with Confluent in connection
with the Website, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and
Confluent concerning the Website. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this
Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in
full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the
universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall
be unenforceable. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto, their successors, and permitted assigns. Except set forth
in the section above entitled “Changes to Agreement”, all amendment to this
Agreement must be made in writing signed by both parties.

D. No Waiver. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further
or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Confluent’s failure to
assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver
of such right or provision.

E. Contact. Please contact us at contact@confluent.io with any questions
regarding this Agreement.

F. California Residents. The provider of services is: Confluent, Inc., 899 W
Evelyn Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94041, phone +1 800 439 3207. If you are a
California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code §1789.3, you may report
complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services

at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at
