When we say "Level", "Company", "we", "our", or "us" in this document, we are referring to Level Software, Inc. When we say "Services", we mean any product created and maintained by Level whether delivered within a web browser, desktop application, mobile application, or another format.
We may update these Terms of Service in the future. Typically these changes have been to clarify some of these terms by linking to an expanded related policy. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will also announce them on our company blog.
When you use our Services, now or in the future, you agree to the latest Terms of Service. That's true for any of our existing and future products and all features that we add to our Services over time. There may be times when we do not exercise or enforce a right or provision of the Terms of Service; in doing so, we do not waive that right or provision. These terms do contain a limitation of our liability.
If you violate any of the terms, we may terminate your account. That's a broad statement, and it means you need to place a lot of trust in us. We do our best to deserve that trust by being open about who we are, how we work, and keeping an open door to your feedback.
Account terms
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. Level cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. We recommend users set up two-factor authentication for added security. In some of our Services, we may require it.
- You may not use the Services for any purpose outlined in our Use Restrictions policy.
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. That includes activity by others who either: (a) have access to your login credentials; or (b) have their own logins under your account.
- You must be a human. Accounts registered by "bots" or other automated methods are not permitted.
Payments, refunds, and plan changes
- If you are using a free version of one of our Services, it is really free: we do not ask you for your credit card and — just like for customers who pay for our Services — we do not sell your data.
- For paid Services that offer a free trial, we explain the trial's length when you sign up. After the trial period, you need to pay in advance to keep using the Service. If you do not pay, we will freeze your account, and it will be inaccessible until you make payment. If your account has been frozen for a while, we will queue it up for auto-cancellation. See our Cancellation policy for more details.
- If you are upgrading from a free plan to a paid plan, we will charge your card immediately, and your billing cycle starts on the day of the upgrade. For other upgrades or downgrades, the new rate starts from the next billing cycle.
- All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing authorities. Otherwise, you are responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, or duties.
- We process refunds according to our Fair Refund Policy.
Cancellation and termination
- You are solely responsible for properly canceling your account. Within each of our Services, we provide a simple no-questions-asked cancellation link. You can find instructions on how to cancel your account in our Cancellation Policy. An email or phone request to cancel your account is not automatically considered cancellation. If you need help canceling your account, you can always contact our Support team.
- All of your content will be inaccessible from the Services immediately upon cancellation. Within 30 days, all content will be permanently deleted from our servers. We cannot recover this information once it has been permanently deleted.
- If you cancel the Service before the end of your current paid up month, your cancellation will take effect immediately, and you will not be charged again. We do not automatically prorate unused time in the last billing cycle. See our Fair Refund Policy for more details.
- We have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of our Services for any reason at any time. A suspension means you and any other users on your account will not be able to access the account or any devices in the account. Termination will furthermore result in the deletion of your account or your access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in your account. We also reserve the right to refuse the use of the Services to anyone for any reason at any time. We have this clause because, statistically speaking, out of the hundreds of thousands of accounts on our Services, at least one is doing something nefarious. There are some things we staunchly stand against, and this clause is how we exercise that stance. For more details, see our Use Restrictions Policy.
- Verbal, physical, written or other abuse (including threats of abuse or retribution) of a Level employee or officer will result in immediate account termination.
Modifications to the Service and Prices
- We make a promise to our customers to support our Services. That means when it comes to security, privacy, and customer support, we will continue to maintain any legacy Services. Sometimes it becomes technically impossible to continue a feature, or we redesign a part of our Services because we think it could be better or we decide to close new signups of a product. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of our Services with or without notice.
- Sometimes we change the pricing structure for our products. When we do that, we tend to exempt existing customers from those changes. However, we may choose to change the prices for existing customers. If we do so, we will give at least 30 days of notice and notify you via the email address on record. We may also post a notice about changes to our company blog.
Uptime, Security, and Privacy
- Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not offer service-level agreements for our Services — but do take uptime of our applications seriously. Visit our status page to see the status of our Services.
- We reserve the right to temporarily disable your account if your usage significantly exceeds the average usage of other customers of our Services. Of course, we'll reach out to the account owner before taking any action except in rare cases where the level of use may negatively impact the performance of the Service for other customers.
- We take many measures to protect and secure your data through backups, redundancies, and encryption. We enforce encryption for data transmission from the public Internet. Please refer to our Security Overview for full details.
- We use third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run our Services. You can see a list of all subprocessors who handle personal data in our Privacy Policy.
- To help you with support requests you make.
- To safeguard Level. We'll look at logs and metadata as part of our work to ensure the security of your data and the Services as a whole. If necessary, we may also access accounts as part of an abuse report investigation.
- To the extent required by applicable law. - Under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), Level is a "service provider", not a "business" or "third party", with respect to your use of the Services. That means we process any data you share with us only for the purpose you signed up for and as described in these Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and other policies. We do not retain, use, disclose, or sell any of that information for any other commercial purposes unless we have your explicit permission. And on the flip-side, you agree to comply with your requirements under the CCPA and not use Level's Services in a way that violates the regulations.
Copyright and Content Ownership
- All content posted on the Services must comply with U.S. copyright law.
- We claim no intellectual property rights over the material you provide to the Services. All materials uploaded remain yours.
- We do not pre-screen content, but reserve the right (but not the obligation) in our sole discretion to refuse or remove any content that is available via the Service.
- The names, look, and feel of the Services are a copyright of Level. All rights reserved. You may not duplicate, copy, or reuse any portion of the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or visual design elements without express written permission from Level. You must request permission to use Level's logo for promotional purposes. Please email us requests to use logos. We reserve the right to rescind this permission if you violate these Terms of Service.
- You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Services, use of the Services, or access to the Services without the express written permission by Level.
- You must not modify another website so as to falsely imply that it is associated with Level or our Services.
Features and Bugs
We design our Services with care, based on our own experience and the experiences of customers who share their time and feedback. However, there is no such thing as a service that pleases everybody. We make no guarantees that our Services will meet your specific requirements or expectations.
We also test all of our features extensively before shipping them. As with any software, our Services inevitably have some bugs. We track the bugs reported to us and work through priority ones, especially any related to security or privacy. Not all reported bugs will get fixed, and we don't guarantee completely error-free Services.
Services Adaptations and API Terms
We offer Application Program Interfaces ("API"s) for some of our Services. Any use of the API, including through a third-party product that accesses the Services, is bound by the terms of this agreement plus the following specific terms:
- You expressly understand and agree that we are not liable for any damages or losses resulting from your use of the API or third-party products that access data via the API.
- Third parties may not access and employ the API if the functionality is part of an application that remotely records, monitors, or reports a Service user's activity, both inside and outside the applications. Level, in its sole discretion, will determine if an integration service violates this bylaw. A third party that has built and deployed an integration for the purpose of remote user surveillance will be required to remove that integration.
- Abuse or excessively frequent requests to the Services via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your account's access to the API. Level, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. If we need to suspend your account's access, we will first attempt to warn the account owner. If your API usage could or has caused downtime, we may cut off access without prior notice.
Some third-party providers have created integrations between our Services and theirs. We are not liable or accountable for any of these third-party integrations.
Automations, Scripts, and Your Responsibility
We work alongside our customers to provide scripts and build automations that enhance your Level environment. While we rigorously test each script on similar hardware configurations to ensure it functions as expected, you remain solely responsible for the scripts and automations within your Level environment. It’s crucial to test all scripts and automations on non-production or test devices before deploying them in a live setting. We are not liable for any issues or damages arising from untested or unvalidated scripts or automations.
We’ve recently introduced the Automations feature, which enables users to deploy extensive automations across hundreds or even thousands of endpoints. With great power comes great responsibility. To prevent unintended consequences, please carefully validate that each automation and its associated triggers work as expected and execute only to the correct set of devices. For instance, if you build a "lost device" automation that wipes data from endpoints, double-check that it’s accurately targeted to avoid accidental data loss across all devices. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with you to ensure automations function correctly within your environment.
In the event of a security breach, our organization is committed to promptly notifying all affected customers and relevant stakeholders. We have documented guidelines in place to ensure that notifications are clear, timely, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Our notifications will include a summary of the incident, the potential impact, steps we are taking to mitigate the situation, and recommended actions for those affected. We prioritize transparency and will keep stakeholders informed throughout the resolution process to maintain trust and uphold our commitment to security.
Breach Notification

Liability
We mention liability throughout these Terms but to put it all in one section:
You expressly understand and agree that Level shall not be liable, in law or in equity, to you or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, lost profits, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if Level has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use the Services; (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the Services; (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (iv) statements or conduct of any third party on the Service; (v) or any other matter relating to this Terms of Service or the Services, whether as a breach of contract, tort (including negligence whether active or passive), or any other theory of liability.
In other words: choosing to use Level and our Services does mean you are making a bet on us. If the bet does not work out, that's on you, not us. We do our darnedest to be as safe a bet as possible through careful management of the business; investments in security, infrastructure, and talent; and in general giving a damn. If you choose to use our Services, thank you for betting on us.
If you have a question about any of the Terms of Service, please contact our Support team.
