Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the CoreLens Cloud platform, APIs, and related services. Please read them carefully before using our services.

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you or the organization you represent (“Customer,” “you,” or “your”) and CoreLens Cloud, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CoreLens Cloud,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), governing your access to and use of the CoreLens Cloud observability platform, APIs, documentation, and all associated services (collectively, the “Services”).

By clicking “I agree,” completing our registration process, accessing the Services, or otherwise indicating your acceptance, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Important: If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services. If you have an existing written agreement with CoreLens Cloud that covers your use of the Services, that agreement takes precedence over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.

Description of Service

CoreLens Cloud provides a cloud-native observability platform that enables engineering teams to collect, store, analyze, and visualize telemetry data including logs, metrics, distributed traces, and infrastructure events. The Services include:

  • Ingestion APIs: OpenTelemetry-compatible endpoints for receiving logs, metrics, and traces from your instrumented applications and infrastructure.
  • Storage and retention: managed, encrypted storage of your telemetry data with configurable retention windows.
  • Analytics and dashboards: a web-based interface for querying, visualizing, and alerting on your telemetry data in real time.
  • AI-powered insights: machine learning features including anomaly detection, root-cause analysis suggestions, and intelligent alert correlation.
  • Integrations: pre-built connectors to third-party tools such as PagerDuty, Slack, OpsGenie, GitHub, and cloud providers.
  • Administration APIs: programmatic access to manage users, teams, alert rules, and account configuration.

CoreLens Cloud reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or component of the Services at any time, provided we give you reasonable advance notice for material changes that affect your production use.

Governing Law

Applicable Law

These Terms and any disputes arising out of or related to them or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute proceedings, you agree to first contact us at legal@corelenscloud.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will make good-faith efforts to resolve the matter within 30 days.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be determined by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California, or virtually by mutual agreement. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

  • Class action waiver: you and CoreLens Cloud each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration. All claims must be brought in an individual capacity.
  • Exceptions: either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights. Small claims court actions remain available for qualifying disputes.
  • Costs: AAA filing fees are split equally, unless the arbitrator determines that a claim is frivolous, in which case the filing party bears all costs.
