See the changes since the previous version or visit our archives.

Thank you for using Sourcegraph! This page lays out the basic terms and conditions that apply to your use of Sourcegraph Cloud.

Is this the right Terms of Service for me?


Are you interested in terms for...

  • Sourcegraph Cloud: You're in the right place! Read on.

  • A self-hosted Sourcegraph instance: If you’d like to use a self-hosted Sourcegraph instance (e.g. one deployed via the docker run command in our Quickstart) to search, navigate, and analyze your code, rather than the Sourcegraph Cloud instance, or if you’d like to use any products (e.g. browser or editor extensions) developed and distributed by us for use with your self-hosted instance, please see our terms and conditions.

  • Sourcegraph OSS: It is possible to run a version of Sourcegraph without some Enterprise features from our open source code available at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph. If you want to follow the instructions there to build and run Sourcegraph OSS from source, please see the open source license (Apache 2.0) at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/blob/main/LICENSE.apache.

  • Government: Certain features of our software may have their own terms and conditions that you must agree to when you sign up for that particular feature. As an example, if you’re using our software as an employee or contractor of the U.S. Government, our Supplemental Terms for U.S. Government Users apply. Those terms and conditions supplement these terms and conditions.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF EACH PROVISION. THE AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

User privacy is important to us. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully for details relating to how we collect, use, and disclose personal information you provide to us.

However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your information for improper purposes. You understand that internet technologies have the inherent potential for disclosure. You acknowledge that you provide any sensitive information to us at your own risk.

If you are an Organization established in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, or otherwise obliged to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation, we will process any information relating to identified or identifiable natural persons in accordance with our Data Processing Addendum, which will be incorporated by reference into the terms of this Agreement. If incorporated, the DPA represents the complete agreement between the Parties as to Sourcegraph's processing of Personal Information and controls to the extent there may be a conflict between the DPA and any other document (including this Agreement or the Documentation).

6. Confidentiality

Short version: We will each protect the other party's confidential information.

6.1 Definition. "Confidential Information" means all non-public information disclosed by us to you, or vice-versa, that is designated by the discloser as confidential or that reasonably should be considered confidential given the nature of the information or circumstances of its disclosure.

  1. was or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party;
  2. was rightfully known or becomes rightfully known to the receiving party without confidential restriction from a third-party that has a right to disclose it;
  3. is approved by the disclosing party for disclosure without restriction in a written document or electronic record; or

6.3 Restrictions on Use and Disclosure. Neither party will use the other party’s Confidential Information except as permitted under this Agreement. Each party agrees to maintain in confidence and protect the other party’s Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care as it uses for its own information of a similar nature, but in any event at least a reasonable degree of care. Each party agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information, including, without limitation, disclosing such Confidential Information only to its employees, independent contractors, consultants, and legal and financial advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) who (i) have a need to know such information, and (ii) are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as protective of the Confidential Information as the terms of this Agreement. Each party is responsible for all acts and omissions of its Representatives. The foregoing obligations will not restrict either party from disclosing Confidential Information of the other party if required by any governmental body, so long as, to the extent allowed under applicable law, the party required to make the disclosure gives reasonable notice to the other party to enable it to contest the requirement. The restrictions set forth in this Section will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The terms of this Section 6 supersede any non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement entered into by the parties prior to the effective date of this Agreement.

7.4 Effect of Termination; Survival. Upon termination of this Agreement, you may no longer use the Services, and if any fees were owed prior to termination, you must pay those fees immediately.

If you are headquartered in California: Governing Law: California, USA Forum: San Francisco, California, USA
If you are headquartered outside of California: Governing Law: New York, USA Forum: New York, New York, USA

14.2 Arbitration. Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. For any dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to the Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof, by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, unless we agree otherwise. If you are using the Services for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this section shall be deemed as preventing us from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property or other proprietary rights.

14.3 Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICES FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS.
