This Agreement governs all use of the Services located at https://postgres.ai and any Services located at sub-domains of the postgres.ai domain, and any other websites and Services owned and operated by Postgres.ai that incorporate this Agreement, and any Services provided by Postgres.ai to you pursuant to any other written agreement that incorporates this Agreement by reference and any updates, modifications or enhancements to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Service”).

If you and Postgres.ai have entered into a written Enterprise agreement or other written contract, the terms of that separate contract govern and prevail except to the extent this Agreement is incorporated by reference.

By accepting this Agreement, by completing the registration process or by accessing the Service, you agree that you have read and understood these Terms and you agree to be bound by them. We may periodically update these Terms. Your continued use of the Service will constitute your acceptance of any new or amended Terms.
