The following Service-Specific Terms (“Service-Specific Terms”), are an integral part of the Self-Serve Subscription Agreement, Enterprise Subscription Agreement, or any other agreement governing your use and access to Cloudflare's Service(s), as applicable (“Subscription Terms”). Unless defined below, all capitalized terms will have the definitions given to such terms in the Subscription Terms. For Enterprise customers, all references to “you” and “your” in the Service-Specific Terms below refer to the Customer named in the applicable Order Form or other ordering document.

Always Online is a Service that serves a limited copy of the portions of your Zone (as defined in the Service-Specific Terms Units of Measurements) that are available from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine in case your server goes offline. You can learn more about the Internet Archive here.
By enabling Always Online on your Zone, you authorize Cloudflare to share your Zone’s hostname and frequently-visited URLs with the Internet Archive, and to serve a limited copy of your Zone from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine when Cloudflare determines your origin server is unavailable by forwarding portions of client requests to your Zone to the Internet Archive to retrieve and serve requested content from the Internet Archive (e.g., requested URL, Accept request-header field).
The Internet Archive is an independent entity and is not endorsed or sponsored by Cloudflare. You understand and agree that Cloudflare has no control over and is not responsible for the data shared with the Internet Archive, the content provided by the Internet Archive, whether and what portion of your content the Internet Archive chooses to archive, how often the Internet Archive updates your archived content, and/or whether the Internet Archive will take down any of your content upon request. You can learn more about the Internet Archive’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Copyright Policy here.
You understand that Always Online is made available to you on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Always Online is not covered by Cloudflare customer support and does not have an SLA. Cloudflare reserves the right to modify or discontinue Always Online at any time without notice to you.
IN NO EVENT WILL CLOUDFLARE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, ALWAYS ONLINE , WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT CLOUDFLARE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
Customer will not be billed for any requests that Cloudflare reasonably determines were generated by bad bots (e.g., requests with a low cf.bot_management.score that are not included in Cloudflare’s or Customer’s list of allowed bots).
Cloudflare’s content delivery network (the “CDN”) Service can be used to cache and serve web pages and websites. Unless you are an Enterprise customer, Cloudflare offers specific Paid Services (e.g., the Developer Platform, Images, and Stream) that you must use in order to serve video and other large files via the CDN. Cloudflare reserves the right to disable or limit your access to or use of the CDN, or to limit your End Users’ access to certain of your resources through the CDN, if you use or are suspected of using the CDN without such Paid Services to serve video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of such action.
