This Agreement applies to:
For the rest of this document, these will be referred to as Embarkable Services.
Other Embarkable products and services are covered by other agreements, as specified on Terms of Service. For clarity, any other product (e.g. a desktop, mobile, or web application) we provide that can be used in conjunction with the Embarkable Services referenced above remains subject to these Terms.
This document is a sister-document to our Privacy Policy. Please make sure you read both carefully before accessing or using a Embarkable Service.
Most Terms of Service and Privacy Policy documents are unreadable. They are written by lawyers and for lawyers, and in our opinion are not very effective.
Because we believe in establishing long-term relationships with our customers, we decided to use plain English instead as much as possible, to make our terms as clear as possible.
Please don’t forget that we are real people: take a look at our company page to get to know us a little. We are not perfect, but we’re trying our hardest, because we genuinely care about your success.
When you read Embarkable or we below, it refers to Embarkable as defined in the Who We Are section of our Privacy Policy.
Our subscription Services include the concept of a Site or Space Owner, or Administrator. For the rest of this document, these will collectively be referred to as Owners.
Should you have other questions or concerns about this document, please get in touch!
By accessing or using a Embarkable Service in any way, whether you are visiting our websites, have created your own account or are invited to someone else’s company account, you agree to and are bound by the terms and conditions written in this document, as well as our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions contained in this document and our Privacy Policy, do not access a Embarkable Service.
This is a living document. With your help, we want to make it the best in the industry.
If you read something that rubs you the wrong way, or if you think of something that should be added, please get in touch! We’re all ears!
We don’t amend this document for any particular customer, but if your changes apply to all of our customers, we’ll be happy to update it for everyone. Scroll to the bottom to see the history so far.
We improve this document over time. If the changes are significant, we will provide a prominent notice on our home page, product login screens, or by sending you an email notification. By continuing to use the Service, you will implicitly accept the changes we make.
Your access and use of the Embarkable Service is always subject to the most current version of this document.
Support for Embarkable Services is provided via our Community Forums at forums.embarkable.io as well via our support page.
Email is also included, but only provided to Owners.
Owners are responsible for first-level support to the people on their Embarkable Service Site or Space or subscription. If you have an issue with your Embarkable Service, contact your Owner(s) first.
We continuously update our documentation so that users can help themselves and Owners are better equipped to help their users.
We take pride in providing excellent customer support, but we are also a small team and value our work/life balance. This means that although we’ll try our best, we do not guarantee 24/7 support.

Your devices have to be able to access our servers on port 443.
No, and it’s not planned.
You can find detailed information on what data we save, how we use it, and how you can access it, correct it and delete it in our Privacy Policy.
We also provide answers to information security questionnaire for each of our Services on our Information Security page.

Embarkable Materials are protected by copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets and all other intellectual property and proprietary rights, and any unauthorized use of the Embarkable Materials may violate such laws and the Terms of Service.
You agree not to copy, republish, frame, download, transmit, modify, adapt, create derivative works based on, rent, lease, loan, sell, assign, distribute, display, perform, license, sublicense or reverse engineer the Embarkable Service or Embarkable Materials or any portions of them.
You agree that you will not decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the software. Any copying or redistribution of the software is prohibited, including any copying or reproduction of the software to any other server or location for further reproduction, redistribution or use on a service bureau basis. Any unauthorized use, copying or distribution of the software is expressly prohibited by law, and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties. Violators will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible.
The trademarks, logos and service marks displayed on the Services are the property of Embarkable or other third parties. You are not permitted to use them without the prior written consent of Embarkable or such third party that may own the Marks.
User Materials refer to the wireframes and other assets (text, images, photographs, graphics, etc) created or uploaded by users using Embarkable Services.
Embarkable does not claim intellectual property rights over User Materials.
For Embarkable Cloud, we leave it to each Space or Site Owner(s) to decide who should own the IP of User Materials. We encourage Owner(s) to make their policy clear to their users.
You acknowledge and agree that Embarkable has no liability of any kind should anyone you granted access to your content modify, destroy, corrupt, copy or distribute it, or violate the Terms of Service or other limitations that you may impose on the use User Materials.
Embarkable does not pre-screen User Materials that users provide or otherwise submit via Embarkable Services; however, Embarkable may remove any posted or submitted User Materials from Embarkable Services for any reason without notice in its sole discretion. By posting or submitting your User Materials, you represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the intellectual property rights and other rights to your User Materials as described in these Terms of Service, including all the rights necessary for you to post or submit your User Materials.
In addition, by posting or otherwise submitting your User Materials that contain images, photographs, pictures, videos, webcasts or that are otherwise graphical in whole or in part (“Images”), you represent and warrant that: (a) you own the copyright in such Images, or that you have obtained all necessary license(s) from the copyright owner(s) of such Images to use such Images, or portions thereof, in keeping with your use in connection with Embarkable Services and as otherwise permitted by these Terms of Service; (b) in the event you choose to grant licenses and sublicenses to such Images, you have the rights necessary to grant the licenses and sublicenses described in these Terms of Service; and (c) you have received consent from any and all persons depicted in such Images to use the Images as set forth in these Terms of Service, including the distribution, public display, public performance and reproduction of such Images.
You are solely and entirely responsible for all of your User Materials that you post or otherwise submit via Embarkable Services. You shall assume all risks associated with the use of your User Materials including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of your User Materials. Embarkable does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of your User Materials. You acknowledge and agree that by accessing or using Embarkable Services, you may be exposed to User Materials from others that are offensive, indecent or otherwise objectionable.
In short, we do not. Like all other cloud-based applications, we are vulnerable to the inherent unreliability of the Internet. We do not offer contracted SLA for availability to Embarkable Services and your data.
That said, high reliability is something we are proud of and something we deliberately chose to compete on. We have developers, system administrators and support staff on call, 24/7.
We monitor Embarkable Services closely and have set up automated alarms to be notified (via email and SMS) when a Embarkable Service is under stress, so that we can deal with the issue before it becomes a problem that might impact customer access.
You can see for yourself how we’re doing on this front by looking at status.embarkable.io.
You acknowledge and agree that Embarkable shall not be liable for any failure to store your materials on Embarkable Service at any time.
You agree that you shall not:
Materials and Services provided by third parties are governed by separate agreements accompanying such materials and services. Embarkable offers no guarantees and assumes no responsibility or liability of any type with respect to the third-party services, including any liability resulting from incompatibility between a third-party service, Embarkable Materials, the Embarkable Services or another third-party service. You agree that you will not hold Embarkable responsible or liable with respect to the third-party services.
In the event of your or others’ access to or use of a Embarkable Service or Materials in connection with the transmission of spam unsolicited e-mail or postings in violation of these Terms of Service, you acknowledge and agree that Embarkable would be irreparably harmed thereunder and that monetary damages would be an insufficient and ineffective remedy; therefore you agree that Embarkable is entitled to obtain immediate injunctive relief against any such transmission (in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity). Embarkable may without restriction block, filter or delete unsolicited e-mail.
For our Services that allow you to specify a subdomain, you may not engage in subdomain squatting. Service accounts that are inactive for more than 6 months may also be removed without further notice. Some of the factors that we take into account when determining what conduct is considered to be subdomain squatting are:
Attempts to sell, buy, or solicit other forms of payment in exchange for Service subdomains are also violations and may result in permanent account suspension.
We offer free 15-day trials for all of our subscription Services. Upon the conclusion of the trial, a paid subscription is required for continued use of our Services.
In the event of failed payment, cancellation of a subscription, or no payment for a trial account, the Service will become inactive. The Owner, who is solely responsible, can cancel their subscription Service at any time directly via the app. An email or phone request to cancel a subscription is not considered cancellation.
In some instances, we will keep the inactive Service account for at least 30 days before deleting it from our system. This includes free accounts with no activity in the past 12 months, which will be deemed inactive and subject to deletion.
Additionally, we reserve the right to discontinue the Embarkable Services at any time. In this event, Embarkable will announce an End-Of-Life date on the Embarkable website. For subscription Services, the End-Of-Life date will be at least 12 months after the announcement date. Embarkable will honor the terms of this Agreement until the End-Of-Life date. Should an Owner's paid subscription exceed the End-Of-Life date, Embarkable will offer a refund for any unused time. At the End-Of-Life date, this Agreement will terminate.
We may block, restrict, disable, suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Embarkable Services at any time in our sole discretion, without prior notice or liability to you. To this day, we have never had to do this, and we hope it never happens.
If you breach any of the terms and conditions in this document, your authorization to access or use the Embarkable Service automatically terminates. Any materials downloaded or printed from the Embarkable Service in violation of the Terms of Service must be immediately destroyed.
If you think we removed your access by mistake, get in touch and we’ll give you our reasoning.
Embarkable will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Embarkable will investigate notices of copyright infringement and take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512©(2) (“DMCA”).
If you believe that your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and such infringement is occurring on a Embarkable Service or on sites linked to from Embarkable Services, please provide written notification of claimed copyright infringement to the designated agent for Embarkable, which must contain the following elements:

The linked sites are provided by Embarkable to you or the creators of the wireframes as a convenience and the inclusion of the links do not imply any endorsement by Embarkable of any linked site. Embarkable has no control of the linked sites and you therefore acknowledge and agree that Embarkable is not responsible for the contents of any linked site, any link contained in a linked site or any changes or updates to a linked site. You further acknowledge and agree that Embarkable is not responsible for any form of transmission (e.g. webcasting) received from any linked site.

Your communications, activities, relationships and business dealings with any third parties advertising or promoting via Embarkable Services or Materials, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, shall be solely matters between you and such third parties. You acknowledge and agree that Embarkable is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such non-Embarkable advertisers on Embarkable Services or Materials.
(a) The Owner grants Embarkable the right to include the Owner's organization as a customer in Product promotional material.
(b) The Owner can deny Embarkable this right by submitting a written request via email to sales@embarkable.io, requesting to be excluded from Product promotional material.
(c) Should the Owner come to be or already be included in Product promotional material, as a result of any prior purchases where the Owner did not request exclusion from Product promotional material, the Owner can at any point in time, submit a written request via email to sales@embarkable.io to have Embarkable remove the Owner's organization name from Product promotional material. Upon receipt of such request, Embarkable will remove any reference to the organization from such promotional material within 30 days and make no further reference to it.

You agree to indemnify and hold Embarkable and its officers, co-branders, other partners and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of:
