This Self-Serve Subscription Agreement (“Agreement”) is an agreement between Cloudflare (also referred to as “we,” “us,”or “our”) and you, or the Entity you represent, (“you” or “your”) and governs your use of our Services (as defined below). This Agreement is effective when you click to accept it, use or access the Services, or otherwise indicate your acceptance of the Agreement.
