MathWorks Online Services Agreement
This MathWorks Online Services Agreement (“Agreement”) covers your use of the specific MathWorks services listed in Section 5 below (the “Services”, which shall include all Content other than Your Content, both as defined below, and may also be deemed to refer to a single Service or component of a Service, as the context may require). IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SERVICES, THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU. This Agreement specifically excludes products and services which you may receive under separate agreements with MathWorks, including Software Maintenance Service, Consulting, Training other than the Online Training Courses described in Section 5.e below, and any other products and services MathWorks may provide that are not set forth below. The MathWorks Privacy Policy describes MathWorks’ practices regarding the personal information that is collected and used through the Services. MathWorks’ collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information is governed at all times by the then-current version of the Privacy Policy. By using the Services and/or by creating or continuing to use a MathWorks Account, you (the individual or entity with whom MathWorks enters into this Agreement, who is responsible for complying with the contractual obligations of this Agreement) agree to become bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, do not use the Services or create or continue to use a MathWorks Account.
Sections 1-4 and 6-7 of this Agreement (“Generally Applicable Terms”) apply to all Services. The subsections of Section 5 of this Agreement apply only to the Service(s) named in the heading of the relevant subsection. In the event of any conflict between Section 5 of this Agreement and the Generally Applicable Terms, Section 5 shall prevail. MathWorks may, in its sole discretion, change this Agreement at any time by making the revised Agreement available to you.
1. MathWorks Account
You will need a MathWorks Account to use the Services; in some cases, in order to make a MathWorks Account available to you, your organization may provide MathWorks with your name, email address, country, and the reason for your use of MathWorks products and services. You must provide and maintain, throughout the duration of your open MathWorks Account, current, accurate, and complete information. Some of your information may be displayed through the Services and used by other users of the Services and MathWorks to communicate with you. You are responsible for the activity that occurs under your MathWorks Account, and for keeping your MathWorks Account login information secure. You must notify MathWorks immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your MathWorks Account. You may not use another person's MathWorks Account, attempt to impersonate another user or party, or allow your MathWorks Account to be used by anyone else. You acknowledge that MathWorks may delete your MathWorks Account after a period of inactivity or if you breach this Agreement, and that this may result in loss of access to the Services and Your Content. “Content” is text, software, scripts, code, models, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, audiovisual combinations, data, information, form submissions, and all other materials and/or artifacts users of the Services enter, submit, upload, share, connect to, or otherwise make available, store, or contribute to the Services, in any format, and also includes any such materials and artifacts generated and/or output by any AI related Services. “Your Content” is Content from you.
