Please read these Terms of Service, Data Processing Agreement, Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy. Together these four (4) artifacts form a unified agreement ( “Agreement”) that applies to all users of the Platform. This Agreement is between the TrafficInsigh Contracting Entity described in Section 15 (“TrafficInsigh”, “We”, “Our” or “Us”) and the natural or legal person agreeing to it (together with Affiliates of such person which ordered Platforms for such Affiliate as provided in this Agreement, each “Customer”, “You” or “Your”) and contains important information about Your use of Our Site and/or Platform. TrafficInsigh and You may each be referred to as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.”
By signing up to TrafficInsigh’s Platform, You agree that You are a duly authorized representative of the Customer and You have read, understood and are bound by this Agreement.
TrafficInsigh may amend this Agreement from time to time. We commit to sending an email to the email address associated with Your Account and posting a written notice on Our Site 30 calendar days before any changes go into effect, provided such changes are not mandated by law to take effect on an earlier date. Your use of Our Site and/or Platform following the effective date of any modifications to this Agreement will constitute Your acceptance of the modified Agreement.
