Account
<ol>
<li>When you create an Account with us, you must provide us information that is
true, accurate, complete and current at all times.
Please update your
information if anything changes.
Failure to do so constitutes a breach of
the Terms, which may result in termination of your Account on our Service.</li>

In order to
protect yourself, us and our other users, please make sure that you keep
these third-party service accounts secure.</li>
<li>You agree not to let any third party use your Account.
You must notify us
immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized
use of your Account.
Our contact details are at the end of this document.</li>
</ol> 2.
Intellectual Property: Ownership
<ol>
<li>Content that you create remains Your Content.
This means that by using our
platform no intellectual property rights are transferred from you to us.</li>
<li>It is your responsibility to make sure that Your Content does not infringe
intellectual property rights of any other party.
This means that if you use
Content that you have not created from scratch yourself, you need to make
sure that you have sufficient permission to use this Content.
You usually
need (i) a license to use another party’s content or work and (ii) if you
have obtained a license or an open source license applies to the relevant
content: You need to comply with the terms and conditions of that license.</li>
<li>If we are held liable for infringement of third party intellectual property
rights as a result of your actions or omissions, you shall indemnify us and
hold us harmless.
This means that you will have to pay all our damages
including legal fees.</li>
</ol> 3.
Intellectual property: License
<ol>
<li>Public Sandboxes that existed prior to the effective date of these Terms
are MIT licensed by default, these Terms becoming applicable do not change
that situation.</li>
<li>As of the effective date of these Terms, Sandboxes are public by default,
but it is up to you to define the license terms for Sandboxes you have
control over.
There is however an important condition here: If you have a
public Sandbox, you give permission to other Users to fork (read: copy) Your
Sandbox.
Similarly, you are allowed to fork public Sandboxes of other Users.
This means that if you choose certain license terms for your public Sandbox,
these license terms have to allow for forking.
Basically, this means open
source licensing, and you decide the type of open source license.</li>
<li>You also permit us to use Your Content for promotional activities.
Rest
assured that all of our users have to comply with these Terms of Use and
that none of our users are allowed to use any content to break the law or
cause you, us or any other user damage.</li>
<li>You can control visibility and forking permissions of a Sandbox by opting
for one of our plans.
For private or unlisted Sandboxes it is up to you to
define license terms.
Other Users do not have permission to fork Sandboxes
controlled by you.</li>
<li>Your right to control visibility and forking permissions (see above) can be
used at any time, meaning that you can switch to one of our plans whenever
you want to.
There is something important to bear in mind though: Any
Content may have been forked when public and thus be used by third parties.
Undoing is not an option or a right, nor would it be possible to forbid such
third parties from further use of that Content.
So only (new/adjusted)
Content that you create after you switch to a private or unlisted Sandbox
can be controlled by you in terms of visibility and forking permissions.
Please be aware you can switch default visibility mode for Sandboxes on our
Website.</li>
<li>In any case, you grant us and our legal successors the right to store,
archive, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies, as
necessary to provide our services, including improving our services over
time.
This license includes the right to copy Your Content to our servers
and/or databases and make backups.
parse it into a search index or otherwise
analyze it on our servers.</li>
</ol> 4.
Intellectual Property: Third-Party Links and Services
<ol>
<li>Our Service may contain links to third-party web sites or services that are
not owned or controlled by us.</li>
<li>We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content,
privacy policies, or practices of any third party web sites or services.
You
further acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable,
directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be
caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content,
goods or services available on or through any such web sites or services.</li>
<li>We strongly advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies
of any third-party web sites or services that you visit.</li>
</ol> 5.
Subscriptions: Pricing and Payment
<ol>
<li>Some parts of the Service are only available to you if you have a
CodeSandbox Account.
An overview of our subscription plans pricing are
available at https://codesandbox.io/pricing.
You must create an Account to
purchase one of our plans.</li>
<li>We use various payment service providers, depending on your subscription
plan.
For new plans from the effective date of these Terms, the order
process is conducted by our partner and merchant of record paddle.com.
This
means Paddle provides all customer service inquiries, handles returns and
provides you invoices.
For legacy plans, we use our partner Stripe.com who
provides invoices.
You pay the invoices from our partners directly to them.</li>
<li>With respect to payment of your subscription plan, when prompted, you will
have to comply with the payment terms of the relevant payment service
provider.
If no such payment terms have been agreed upon, the following
conditions on pricing and payment shall apply:</li>
<li>You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing
Cycle").
Billing cycles depend on your choice: you may choose either a
monthly or an annual cycle.</li>
<li>At the end of each Billing Cycle, your subscription plan will automatically
renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or CodeSandbox
cancels it.
You may cancel your subscription renewal either through your
online account management page or by contacting us via the details below.</li>
<li>CodeSandbox, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the pricing
for subscription plans.
Any change in pricing will become effective at the
end of the then-current Billing Cycle.</li>
<li>CodeSandbox will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in
pricing to give you an opportunity to terminate your subscription before
such change becomes effective.
So if you do not agree with proposed pricing
changes, it is up to you to terminate your subscription per the end of the
then current Billing Cycle.</li>
<li>Your continued use of the Service offered on the basis of your applicable
subscription plan after changes in pricing come into effect constitutes your
agreement to pay the modified prices for your subscription plan if
applicable.</li>
<li>We may suspend the Service based on your subscription plan to you if you do
not pay your invoice(s) timely.</li>
<li>If you are a consumer and purchase one of our subscription plans you have
the right to dissolve the agreement within 14 days after conclusion of the
agreement.
For convenience, this right is also explained in our FAQ.</li>
