SDK User Terms

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OUR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT

Who we are and how to contact us

The Software Development Kit (“SDK”) is created and operated by Hadean Supercomputing Ltd (“We“/ “Hadean”). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 09808169 and have our registered office at 9 Appold Street, London, England, EC2A 2AP.  To contact us, please email info@hadean.com.

Hadean has developed various products including The Hadean Platform and application layers Aether Engine and Muxer (“Products”) which are accessed via the relevant SDK.

By using the SDK you accept these terms

By using the SDK, you confirm that you accept these terms of use and that you agree to comply with them. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use the SDK. We recommend that you print a copy of these terms for future reference.

If you have a separate customer license agreement in place with Hadean then in the case of conflict the terms of your license agreement shall govern, given many of the clauses in these User Terms are focused on the freemium version of our SDK (for example, restriction on use).

If you are downloading the SDK for use within a company, group or any other business structure whereby other individuals will be able to use the SDK, including all employees, contractors, consultants or otherwise, you procure that any user of the SDK within that company, group or business structure will comply with these terms.  Any reference to “you” within these terms includes any individual who accesses the SDK from your download.

Use of the SDK

You may use the SDK only for the purposes of trialling the building and running of applications and/or libraries on our Products and deploying them locally or your cloud environment, in accordance with these terms of use (“Purpose”). 

In the event that you wish to use the SDK in a commercial environment, you must purchase a license. To do so please contact info@hadean.com.

In the absence of a purchased license the SDK is strictly a trial product that exists in a confined environment, the details of which can be found at docs.hadean.com. It is designed for developers to test the Product’s capabilities and developer experience and is not permitted for any type of commercial project.

We may make changes to the SDK

We may need to update the SDK from time to time to reflect users’ needs and functionality. We can do this at any time, without providing notice to you.

SDK Availability

We do not guarantee that the SDK, or any content on or in it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. We may suspend or withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of it, at any time. We will try to give you reasonable notice of any suspension or withdrawal. We do not provide any support service for the use of the SDK. 

You must be connected to the internet to download the SDK, as well as to run the SDK on your cloud environment.

You must keep your account details safe

If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures for accessing the SDK, you must treat such information as confidential. You must not disclose it to any third party.

We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms of use.

If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your user identification code or password, you must promptly notify us at security@hadean.com.

Documentation

Tutorials, training and support are provided as part of our documentation (“Documentation”) via docs.hadean.com. You may use this Documentation to support your usage of the SDK and further services that may be offered from time to time. We make no guarantee to the completeness of the Documentation. The Documentation may be updated or withdrawn without notice.

Patents

Relevant patents relating to the SDK can be found at docs.hadean.com.

In the event of such a breach, your right to use our site will cease immediately.
