Terms of Service

The terms and conditions governing your use of PulseKeep services.

Last updated: March 2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of PulseKeep's products and services, including our website, web application, APIs, integrations, and any related services (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing or using any part of the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by any policies referenced here, including our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.

1. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on pulsekeep.io (or as otherwise stated). If changes are material, we'll provide reasonable notice via the Services and/or email.

If you continue to use the Services after the effective date, you accept the updated Terms.

2. Your Account

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials (email, password, API keys, and access tokens) and for all activity that occurs under your account.

  • • Provide accurate account information
  • • Keep your credentials secure
  • • Promptly notify us of any unauthorized access or security incident

Account Limits

We may enforce fair-use limits, plan limits, and technical limits (e.g., number of monitors, check intervals, notification channels, team seats) as described on our pricing page or inside the product.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Services. Prohibited activities include:

  • • Using the Services for unlawful, harmful, abusive, or deceptive activity
  • • Attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any PulseKeep system or network
  • • Interfering with or disrupting the integrity or performance of the Services
  • • Reverse engineering, decompiling, or attempting to extract source code except to the extent permitted by law
  • • Using the Services to monitor targets you do not own or do not have authorization to monitor
  • • Using the Services in a manner that violates the rights of others (including IP rights)

We may suspend or terminate access for violations, suspected abuse, or security risk.

4. Services Provided

PulseKeep is an uptime and availability monitoring platform. Depending on your plan and configuration, the Services may include:

  • • HTTP/HTTPS monitoring
  • • Ping / network reachability checks
  • • Port checks
  • • Keyword / content checks (where applicable)
  • • Heartbeat / cron monitoring (where you ping us on a schedule)
  • • Alerting and notifications (email, integrations, push, SMS or other channels depending on plan)
  • • Public status pages

Monitoring Nature and Accuracy

Monitoring results can be affected by factors outside our control (e.g., routing, DNS, upstream provider issues, target firewalls, rate limits, transient network failures). Monitoring data is provided for informational purposes and should not be used as the sole source for mission-critical decisions.

5. Status Pages and Subscribers

If you enable a public status page:

  • • You are responsible for the content you publish there (including incident updates)
  • • Visitors may subscribe to updates (if enabled). Subscriber emails are used solely to send status updates and can be unsubscribed at any time
  • • PulseKeep may remove subscriber data if a status page is deleted or if required for compliance or security

6. Paid Plans, Billing, and Taxes

Pricing and Plan Features

Paid features and limits are described on our pricing page or within the Service. We may change pricing or features; changes generally apply at renewal unless otherwise stated.

Payment Processing

Payments are processed by third-party payment providers. We do not store raw payment card details.

Auto-Renewal

If you purchase a subscription, it will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before renewal.

Upgrades and Downgrades

  • • Upgrades may take effect immediately, and we may charge a prorated amount
  • • Downgrades generally take effect at the end of the current billing cycle
  • • If your account exceeds limits of a downgraded plan, we may require you to reduce usage

7. Refund Policy

Unless required by applicable law, fees are non-refundable.

If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that provides a statutory right of withdrawal or refund (including certain EU/EEA rules), we will honor those rights where applicable.

In exceptional circumstances (e.g., major service failure attributable to us), refunds or service credits may be granted at our sole discretion.

8. Delivery Policy

The Services are delivered digitally. Access is considered delivered when your account is provisioned and features for your plan are made available in the dashboard.

9. Intellectual Property

PulseKeep and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, including software, branding, and documentation. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, branding, or other IP except as necessary to use the Services.

You retain ownership of your content (including monitor names/configurations and incident updates) subject to the license below.

License to Operate the Service

You grant PulseKeep a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, and display your content solely as necessary to provide and improve the Services.

10. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The Services may integrate with third-party platforms (e.g., incident management, chat, email, SMS, analytics). Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and privacy policies.

11. Suspension and Termination

Termination by You

You may stop using the Services at any time. You can cancel subscriptions through your account settings.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services immediately if:

  • • You breach these Terms
  • • Your use poses a security risk
  • • We are required to do so by law

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends. Certain provisions survive termination (including IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification).

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." PULSEKEEP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PULSEKEEP WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PULSEKEEP'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO PULSEKEEP FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, liability is limited to the minimum allowed by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PulseKeep and its officers, directors, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • • Your use of the Services
  • • Your content (including status page updates)
  • • Your violation of these Terms or applicable law
  • • Your monitoring of targets without appropriate authorization

15. No Resale or Redistribution

You may not resell, sublicense, or otherwise make the Services available to third parties except as expressly permitted (e.g., through a team plan) or with our written authorization.

16. Data Processing Agreement

If you are a data controller processing personal data using the Services, a GDPR-aligned Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available upon request and forms part of these Terms when executed.

17. Compliance and Export

You agree to comply with applicable laws, including export control and sanctions laws, where relevant.
