The following terms (“Terms”) constitute a binding legal agreement between you (the “Customer” or “you”) and Advanced Energy United ("us", “we” or other first person pronouns). These Terms govern your use of Insight Engine™ and any of our other Insight Engine™ related services (collectively, the “Services”).

By visiting Insight Engine™, registering an account or using the Services in any way, you agree to the Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the Terms or the Privacy Policy, you may not use the Services.

We may change the Terms at any time by posting an updated version(s) on this page (http://help.insightengine.org/en/articles/120556-terms-of-service). We may also notify you in other ways (e.g., via email or by posting a notice on Insight Engine™) and we may require you to consent to the updated Terms before you may continue using the Services. In all cases, your use of the Services is always subject to the most current version of the Terms.

To use the Services, you must register and provide us with accurate and complete information to establish an Account. If you are an individual Customer, whether paid, trial, government, academic or media, you may not share your access credentials with another. If a Customer is affiliated with an entity, agency or organization, you may not share your access credentials outside of your entity, agency or organization. Please tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorized activity in your Account.

You are responsible for all activity in your Account. You may terminate your Account at any time. Customers may create only a single trial Account during any 36-month period. Customers seeking government, academic, or media Accounts will be required separately to establish an affiliation with a governmental, academic, or media entity, agency or organization.

We may offer features and other versions of the Services that are only accessible through paid Customer Accounts.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use these Services. If you are under 18 years of age you must have a parent’s or guardian’s permission.

We reserve the right to change or discontinue the Services at any time and in any way.

Certain information provided by the Services belongs to Advanced Energy United (“Advanced Energy United Content”), including, for example, Insights, Forecasts, digest emails, and other Advanced Energy United generated content. Provided the Customer strictly complies with these Terms, and subject to the requirements set forth below, we give the Customer a non-exclusive, royalty free, non-transferable license to use Advanced Energy United Content, including viewing, copying, and republishing Advanced Energy United Content. The Customer may not sell or sublicense any Advanced Energy United Content, mass download or create bulk feeds of Advanced Energy United Content, or use any part of Advanced Energy United Content in connection with any other products or services that compete with or are a substitute for the Services or that are substantially similar to the Services. Advanced Energy United retains all intellectual property rights in Advanced Energy United Content.

All uses of Advanced Energy United Content must provide attribution to Advanced Energy United. We do not consent to any use of Advanced Energy United Content without proper attribution. The form of attribution may differ based on the content used and the nature of your use. If the Customer republishes Advanced Energy United Content, a statement of attribution, such as “Insight ©2023 Advanced Energy United” will suffice. If the Customer copies and pastes, uses a screenshot or otherwise replicates Advanced Energy United Content directly from the Services, do not remove any Advanced Energy United or Insight Engine™ logos or identifiers from the Advanced Energy United Content.

Certain compilations of information are provided by the Services (the “Compiled Information”), including the information compiled and available within the Bills, Dockets, Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) Committees, State Profiles and Watchlist sections of the Services. The Compiled Information is all of the information available to you by selecting any item from a menu of selectable items within the Services. The Compiled Information derives independent economic value from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable through proper means by, the public. Advanced Energy United authorizes Customers to access and use the Compiled Information as outlined in Sections 3 and 10. With the exception of paying Customers with API access rights, you agree not to copy or download entire compilations of the Compiled Information and such copying or downloading is strictly prohibited.

Some aspects of the Services allow users to post content. Anything you post (“User-Generated Content”) belongs solely to you. You may only post User-Generated Content if (a) you own the intellectual property rights or have obtained the necessary permissions and licenses to do everything you are doing with the User-Generated Content, including uploading it to the Services and sharing it with others, (b) you have all necessary rights to grant us the license below, (c) you have received any necessary consents (e.g., if your User-Generated Content depicts real people), and (d) the User-Generated Content does not violate any third party rights, including intellectual property rights and rights of publicity and privacy.

You hereby grant Advanced Energy United a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable right to use, copy, modify, transmit, sell, exploit, create derivative works from, distribute, and/or publicly perform or display your User-Generated Content, in whole or in part, in any manner or medium, now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose, and you irrevocably waive all claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution associated with your User-Generated Content. We have no obligation to monitor User-Generated Content but we reserve the right to delete or modify User-Generated Content at any time, for any or no reason.

Subscription Periods. Subscription periods will typically be for twelve (12) months unless provided otherwise. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your Payment Provider (as defined below) or invoice you thirty (30) days before the start date of any Subscription Period for the agreed-upon fees for use of the Services.

Cancelled Accounts will maintain access to all paid services for the remainder of the subscription period. Upon reaching the Subscription Expiration Date, Accounts will immediately lose access to paid features on the Platform and other paid services.
