Effective Date: February 5, 2026
By accessing or using the Flowstate Industrial platform ("Service"), operated by Flowstate Industrial LLC ("Company," "we," "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
Flowstate Industrial provides an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) monitoring platform for manufacturers, including:
You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
The Service is offered under "The Industrial Visibility Package" subscription (as specified in your service agreement, minimum 5 machines) and a Free tier for evaluation. Features, device limits, data retention, and support levels vary by plan.
Paid plans are billed monthly in advance via Stripe with a 12-month minimum commitment. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis. All fees are in US dollars unless otherwise stated. A one-time setup fee, per the pricing terms in your subscription agreement, is charged at activation.
7-Day Promise: Data flowing within 7 days of hardware installation or full setup fee refund. 90-Day ROI Guarantee: See measurable operational value within 90 days or subscription fees refunded. Fair Exit: Month-6 exit ramp available — cancel with 30 days notice after month 6 with no penalty. Hardware included in subscription transfers to you at month 12; hardware must be returned if exiting before month 12.
You may cancel your subscription through the Settings page or by emailing support. Early termination (before month 6) requires 30 days notice and hardware return. After month 6, the Fair Exit ramp applies. No prorated refunds are issued for partial months beyond the guarantee periods.
Hardware is included in your subscription and pre-configured before shipping. Ownership of hardware transfers to you at month 12 of your subscription. If you exit before month 12, hardware must be returned in working condition. Flowstate Industrial provides configuration support but does not warrant third-party hardware beyond the manufacturer's warranty. You are responsible for physical installation and network connectivity at your facility.
You retain all ownership of sensor data, operational data, and any content you upload to the Service ("Customer Data"). We do not sell, share, or use Customer Data for purposes other than providing the Service.
We process Customer Data solely to deliver the Service (storage, visualization, alerting, analytics). Data is transmitted from your facility via encrypted MQTT (TLS 1.3) and stored in cloud infrastructure. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Data retention periods vary by plan (Pilot: 90 days, Production: 365 days, Enterprise: custom). Upon cancellation, Customer Data is retained for 30 days to allow export, then permanently deleted.
You may request an export of your Customer Data at any time by contacting support. We will provide data in a standard machine-readable format (CSV or JSON) within 10 business days.
You agree not to:
The Service, including all software, dashboards, algorithms, documentation, and branding, is owned by Flowstate Industrial LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or brand assets.
The Service integrates with third-party providers including Clerk (authentication), Stripe (payments), HiveMQ (MQTT broker), InfluxDB (time-series database), and Grafana (visualization). Your use of these integrations is subject to their respective terms. We are not responsible for third-party service outages or changes.
We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. Enterprise plans include SLA commitments as specified in your Enterprise agreement.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FLOWSTATE INDUSTRIAL LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
The Service monitors industrial equipment but is not a safety system. You remain solely responsible for workplace safety, equipment maintenance decisions, and compliance with safety regulations.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Flowstate Industrial LLC, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Service, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, fail to pay fees, or if required by law. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 6, 8, 11, 12, and 14 survive termination.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Stark County, Ohio, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property infringement.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or in-app notification at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
