You retain full copyrights in any materials served through BladeWP. Depending on the features you select or Apps you enable, BladeWP may modify the content of your site. For example, BladeWP may detect any email addresses and replace them with a script in order to keep it from being harvested, or BladeWP may insert code to improve page load performance or enable a Third Party App. Depending on the features you enable, you acknowledge BladeWP may:

Intercept requests determined to be threats and present them with a challenge page.
Add cookies to your domain to track visitors, such as those who have successfully passed the CAPTCHA on a challenge page.

Section 8: records of bladewp.com visitor use and abuse

As a visitor to bladewp.com and a user of the BladeWP Service, you consent to having your Internet Protocol address recorded and your activities monitored to prevent abuse.

Section 9: records of your visitors

As part of the BladeWP Service, you may choose to monitor the traffic to certain websites. In doing so, you acknowledge that BladeWP acts as your limited agent (and data processor in the EU context) to you for the purpose of providing Internet data and optimization services. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to ensure that the use of BladeWP’s Service is permitted under the laws of your jurisdiction and you agree to indemnify and hold BladeWP harmless if your use of the Service is in violation of local law. Where required by law, you agree to post a privacy policy on any that, at a minimum, discloses any and all uses of personal information that you collect from users including any information collected via the Service. You agree to indemnify and defend BladeWP from and against any and all claims stemming from your failure to comply with this provision and/or your failure or refusal to abide by the terms and provisions of any applicable privacy policies. You acknowledge that BladeWP may use this data to improve its service or enable other services (e.g., using visitor traffic logs or data posted through the service to detect threats so as to stop future attacks).

Section 10: limitation on non-html caching

You acknowledge that BladeWP’s Service is offered as a platform to cache and serve web pages and websites and is not offered for other purposes, such as remote storage. Accordingly, you understand and agree to use the Service solely for the purpose of hosting and serving web pages as viewed through a web browser or other application and the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) protocol or other equivalent technology. BladeWP’s Service is also a shared web caching service, which means a number of customers’ websites are cached from the same server. To ensure that BladeWP’s Service is reliable and available for the greatest number of users, a customer’s usage cannot adversely affect the performance of other customers’ sites. Additionally, the purpose of BladeWP’s Service is to proxy web content, not store data. Using an account primarily as an online storage space, including the storage or caching of a disproportionate percentage of pictures, movies, audio files, or other non-HTML content, is prohibited. You further agree that if, at BladeWP’s sole discretion, you are deemed to have violated this section, or if BladeWP, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary due to excessive burden or potential adverse impact on BladeWP’s systems, potential adverse impact on other users, server processing power, server memory, abuse controls, or other reasons, BladeWP may suspend or terminate your account without notice to or liability to you.

Section 11: investigation

BladeWP reserves the right to investigate you, your business, and/or your owners, officers, directors, managers, and other principals, your sites, and the materials comprising the sites at any time. These investigations will be conducted solely for BladeWP’s benefit, and not for your benefit or that of any third party. If the investigation reveals any information, act, or omission, which in BladeWP’s sole opinion, constitutes a violation of any law or regulation, this Agreement, or is otherwise deemed harm the Service, BladeWP may immediately shut down your access to the Service. You agree to waive any cause of action or claim you may have against BladeWP for such action, including but not limited to any disruption to your website. You acknowledge that BladeWP may, at its own discretion, reveal the information about your web server to alleged copyright holders or other complaintants who have filed complaints with us.

Section 12: indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold BladeWP, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of the Terms of Service, or your violation of any rights of another.
