Terms of use

Last updated 2 November 2026

Who we are and accepting these terms

Baro is a product of Azure Advisory Group LLC, 8 The Green STE B, Dover, DE 19901, United States ("Baro", "we", "us"). Altevant is the name of our website and brand; the company you're contracting with is Azure Advisory Group LLC. These terms cover the Baro app at app.raisethebaro.com and every company workspace at <company>.raisethebaro.com. Use of the website raisethebaro.com is covered by the website terms at altevant.com.

By creating an account or using Baro, you agree to these terms. If you use Baro for a company, you're agreeing on that company's behalf, and you confirm you're allowed to. "You" then means both you and that company. If you don't agree, don't use Baro.

Our privacy policy explains what data we handle and how. It applies to your use of Baro.

What Baro is

Baro reads a company's Jira and shows its engineering teams' delivery as dashboards: what needs attention now, how each sprint went, and how the team is trending against its targets.

• Read-only. Baro never creates, changes or deletes anything in your Jira.
• Team-level. Baro reports on teams, not individuals. It doesn't rank or score people.
• Rule-based. Its numbers come from fixed, explainable rules applied to your Jira history.
• Early access. Baro is offered by invitation while we build it. Features may change, appear or go away, and some may be incomplete or have errors.

Accounts and workspaces

• Business use only. Baro is for people using it for work, aged 18 or over.
• One workspace per company. The person who creates it sets it up for their company. Teammates join by invitation and must use the email address the invitation was sent to.
• Keep your account accurate and secure. Use your real work email, keep your password private, and tell us at connect@altevant.com if you think someone else has access. Anything done through your account is your responsibility.
• Your company controls its workspace. Its people decide who's invited, which Jira is connected and which teams are set up. If someone leaves your company, removing them is up to you.

Your data

• It stays yours. Your Jira data, and the metrics Baro calculates from it, belong to your company.
• What you let us do with it. You give us permission to read, store and process it to run Baro for you: syncing it, calculating your dashboards, keeping their history, and fixing problems you report. We may also use it to keep Baro secure, to meet our legal obligations, and, only in de-identified and aggregated form that can't identify your company or its people, to understand how Baro is used and improve it. We don't sell it, share it for advertising, or use it to train AI models.
• We keep it confidential and secure. We treat your data as confidential, share it only with the service providers named in the privacy policy who help us run Baro, and protect it with reasonable technical and organizational measures.
• You're entitled to connect it. You confirm that your company allows you to connect its Jira to Baro, and that doing so doesn't break any agreement you have with others.
• Stopping and deleting. Disconnecting Jira in Settings stops all reading at once and deletes Baro's access tokens. To have your workspace and all its data deleted, email connect@altevant.com, and we'll do it within 30 days. Deleting a workspace removes everything in it together, as the privacy policy describes.
• Details of what we store, who processes it and for how long are in the privacy policy. EU and UK customers can ask us for a Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of these terms once signed.

Acceptable use

When using Baro, don't:

• try to reach another company's workspace or data, or get around Baro's security or sign-in;
• copy, resell or rent out Baro, or build a competing product from it;
• reverse engineer Baro, except where the law allows it;
• overload the service, run automated scraping, or interfere with other customers' use;
• connect data you aren't allowed to share, or use Baro for anything unlawful;
• use Baro's numbers as the only basis for a decision about an individual person's job (see "Availability and disclaimers").

If you find a security problem, please tell us at connect@altevant.com instead of testing it further.

Third-party services

Baro depends on services run by other companies, and their own terms apply when you use them:

• Atlassian (Jira). You connect your Jira and decide what Baro may read. Atlassian can change or limit its interfaces, which may affect what Baro can show.
• Clerk runs Baro's sign-up and sign-in.
• Google, if you choose "Continue with Google".

We aren't responsible for these services' availability or their own handling of your data.

Early access, fees and changes

• Free during early access. There's no charge while Baro is in early access.
• Paid plans only with notice. If we introduce paid plans, we'll tell you at least 30 days in advance, and you'll only be charged after you agree to the price. If you don't agree, your access ends when the notice period does, and you can ask us to delete your data.
• Baro will change. We may add, change or remove features, and we may end early access or the service. For a change that takes away something you rely on, or for ending the service, we'll give at least 30 days' notice by email when we reasonably can, so you can ask for your data to be deleted.

Our intellectual property and your feedback

Baro itself (its software, design, metric rules, default targets and other content) belongs to Azure Advisory Group LLC. While you follow these terms, you may use Baro for your company's internal work. That permission isn't exclusive and can't be passed on.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely to improve Baro, without owing you anything for them. We won't name you or your company publicly without your permission.

Availability and disclaimers

• As is. Baro is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises about it beyond what these terms say. In particular, we don't promise that it's uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose.
• No uptime commitment during early access. Baro may be slow or unavailable at times, including for maintenance.
• Numbers depend on your Jira. Baro's metrics are calculated from your Jira data and its history. If that data is incomplete or used in an unusual way, the numbers may be wrong or missing. Baro shows where it can't be sure, but it can't catch every case.
• Guidance, not judgment of people. Baro helps teams see how they deliver. Its numbers are team-level, and they mustn't be the only basis for decisions about an individual's employment, pay or performance.

Limitation of liability and indemnity

To the extent the law allows:

• No indirect losses. Neither we nor you are liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for lost profits, revenue or data, arising from Baro, even if warned they were possible. This doesn't limit your indemnity below or your liability for breaking "Acceptable use".
• A cap. Our total liability for all claims about Baro is limited to the greater of what you paid us for Baro in the 12 months before the claim, or US$100.
• What isn't limited. These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them: for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Indemnity. You'll defend us and our affiliates against claims by others, and cover any damages, settlements and reasonable legal costs that result, where the claim arises from data you connected without the right to, or from your breach of "Acceptable use". We'll tell you promptly about any such claim, let you run the defense, and help reasonably at your cost. You won't settle in a way that admits fault on our behalf or binds us without our consent.

Suspension and ending your use

• You can stop at any time. Disconnect Jira and stop using Baro. To have your workspace deleted, email connect@altevant.com.
• We may suspend or close a workspace if it breaks these terms, puts Baro or other customers at risk, or if the law requires it. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem.
• After a workspace is closed, we delete its data within 30 days, as described in the privacy policy.
• What carries on after use ends: the sections on your data, our intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnity, and governing law and the whole agreement, along with anything either of us already owes the other.

Governing law, changes and contact

• Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and disputes go to the state or federal courts in Delaware, unless the law where you are requires otherwise. Where the law allows, both of us give up any right to a jury trial.
• Changes to these terms. We'll update the date at the top. For a material change, we'll email account holders at least 30 days before it takes effect; other changes take effect when we post them. If you don't want to accept a material change, stop using Baro and ask us to delete your workspace before it takes effect. Using Baro after that means you accept the new terms.
• Things outside our control. Neither of us is liable for a delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, such as an outage at Atlassian or another provider, internet failures, or government action.
• The whole agreement. These terms, the privacy policy, and any Data Processing Agreement or order we sign with you are the whole agreement about Baro. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term isn't a waiver of it. You may not transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them along with the Baro business.
• Notices and contact. We'll notify you by email to your workspace's account holders. You can reach us at connect@altevant.com · Azure Advisory Group LLC, 8 The Green STE B, Dover, DE 19901, United States
