TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions, along with any other terms set out in the ordering page or user interface through which Customer purchases a subscription or enables access (“Site”), or an ordering document (collectively the “Agreement”), set forth the terms and conditions under which the entity specified in the Site (“Service Provider”) will provide access to certain proprietary technology to the organization or individual identified on the Site and agreeing to this Agreement (“Customer”). The Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which Customer may Use (as defined herein) Service Provider’s technology services indicated on the Site (“Software”). By clicking "I agree" or similar assent, signing an order document, or using the Software or Services (as defined below), you agree to the Agreement as a Customer.

If you are agreeing to this Agreement by an organization, you are agreeing on behalf of that organization. You must have the authority to bind that organization to these terms, otherwise you must not sign up.

  1. LICENSE GRANt and RIGHT OF USE

    1.  License Grant. Subject to all limitations and restrictions contained herein, Service Provider grants Customer a subscription, software as a service (SaaS), nonexclusive and nontransferable right to use the Software as hosted by Service Provider as described in the Site (“Use”).  During the Term (as defined below), Service Provider grants Customer a non-exclusive right to access and Use the SaaS (“Services”). This right also includes the use of Service Provider's application programming interfaces ("APIs") to integrate the Services into Customer's online services (each a "Customer Application"). Customer may also make Customer Applications available to End Users (as defined below). This right does not extend to any Third Party Offerings. Customer may only Use the Software for its own internal business needs and may not use it for timesharing or service bureau or otherwise operate the Software for the benefit of any third party or any affiliate of Customer. The rights granted herein shall terminate automatically upon expiration of the Subscription Term or any Renewal Term (defined herein). The Customer is granted a Named User license to Use the Services. This entitles the Customer to enable Use of the Services by a limited number of individual End Users, each identified by a unique user id. "End Users" refers to any individuals who access or use the Services directly or the Services via Customer Applications. “Third Party Offerings” refers to any tools, platforms or services rendered by any person other than the Service Provider.
       
    2. Responsibilities for Customer's Account. Customer must provide accurate and up-to-date account information. Customer is responsible for all activities that occur under Customer's account, including the activities of any End User who is provisioned with an account under the Customer’s account (an “End User Account”) or accesses the Services through your Customer Application. Customer may not make account access credentials available to third parties, share individual login credentials between multiple users on an account, or resell or lease access to your account or any End User Account. Customer will promptly notify Service Provider if Customer becomes aware of any unauthorized access to or use of Customer's account or Service Provider's Services.
       
    3. Restrictions. In no event shall Customer disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Software or Confidential Information (as defined below) or permit others to do so.  Disassembling, decompiling, and reverse engineering include, without limitation: (i) converting the Software from a machine-readable form into a human-readable form; (ii) disassembling or decompiling the Software by using any means or methods to translate machine-dependent or machine-independent object code into the original human-readable source code or any approximation thereof; (iii) examining the machine-readable object code that controls the Software’s operation and creating the original source code or any approximation thereof by, for example, studying the Software’s behavior in response to a variety of inputs; or (iv) performing any other activity related to the Software that could be construed to be reverse engineering, disassembling, or decompiling. To the extent any such activity may be permitted pursuant to written agreement, the results thereof shall be deemed Confidential Information subject to the requirements of this Agreement. Customer may use Service Provider’s Confidential Information solely in connection with the Software and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
       
    4. Prohibited Uses. Customer will not, and will not permit End Users to:
      (a) use the Services or Customer Content (as defined below) in a manner that violates any applicable laws or Service Provider’s policies including the Acceptable Use Policy annexed hereto (and as may be set out and updated in the Site or Service Provider’s website) (“Service Provider Policies”); (b) use the Services or Customer Content in a manner that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any third party’s rights;(c) send Service Provider any personal information of children under 13 or the applicable age of digital consent or allow minors to use Service Provider's Services without consent from their parent or guardian (d) use Output to develop any artificial intelligence models that compete with Service Provider's products and services.

Customer agrees to also comply with all other applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances relating to its performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that the Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods or by UCITA, the application of which is expressly excluded.
       
    6. Maintenance. Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide corrections to reported problems that (i) prevent the Software from conforming in material respects to its specifications, and (ii) are replicated and diagnosed by Service Provider as defects in the Software (“Maintenance and Support Services”). A response is not a guarantee of a solution to the reported problem; however, Service Provider will keep Customer apprised of the resolution closure. Additional features and functions are not included as part of the maintenance and support services. Service Provider shall not be obligated to provide Maintenance and Support Services for any software other than the generally available Software delivered to Customer pursuant to this Agreement (collectively the “Unsupported Code”).

    4. Similarity of Output. Customer acknowledges that due to the nature of our Services and artificial intelligence generally, Output may not be unique and other users may receive similar content from our services.

  6. CONFIDENTIALITY
    1. Definition. “Confidential Information” includes all information marked pursuant to this Section and disclosed by either party, before or after the Effective Date, and generally not publicly known, whether tangible or intangible and in whatever form or medium provided, as well as any information generated by a party that contains, reflects, or is derived from such information.

    2. Disclaimer of Warranties. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any statement or warranty not expressly provided herein with respect to the Software or maintenance, or other services provided hereunder. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION 7, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND SERVICE PROVIDER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.

      1. No Warranty of Accuracy. The Service Provider does not warrant that the Service will always provide accurate, complete, reliable, or timely responses. The accuracy, quality, and relevance of the Service’s responses are dependent on the Input that is provided by the End Users within the Customer's organization. The Service Provider makes no representations or warranties that the Input provided to the Service are correct, sufficient, or up-to-date, nor does it guarantee that the Service will be able to answer every query.
      2. Limitations of Service Outputs. The Service Provider does not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequences arising from the use of the Outputs and/or its utilization as part of the  Services. The Service’s Outputs are based on the Input it has been trained on which may be incomplete, incorrect, or outdated. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Service’s responses are not guaranteed to be free from errors or omissions, and that the Service’s learning process is an ongoing one that may take time to improve.
      3. No Guarantee of Human-Free Interaction. While this is designed to reduce the need for human intervention over time, the Service Provider does not guarantee that the Service will always be able to answer all queries without escalation to an SME of the Customer.

      4. No Liability for Third-Party Integrations.  Services may integrate with Third Party Offerings. Service Provider does not accept any liability for issues arising from these Third Party Offerings, including but not limited to connectivity issues, data breaches, or errors in third-party services that may affect the operation of  Services.

Customer agrees to the terms of any applicable end user license agreement with the Third Party Offerings necessary for its use. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, Customer agrees that processing of personal data by such Third Party Offerings is subject to the terms of the data processing addendum with the third-party service.
  8. INDEMNIFICATION
    1. Indemnification by Service Provider. Service Provider agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Customer harmless from and against any damages or settlement amounts awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a settlement, arising out of a third-party claim alleging that the Services, including any training data used by Service Provider to train a model that powers the Services, infringe any third-party intellectual property rights. This indemnification obligation does not cover claims to the extent they arise from (a) the integration or use of the Services with any products, services, or software not provided by Service Provider or on its behalf, (b) any fine-tuning, customization, or modification of the Services by any party other than Service Provider, (c) any Input or training data provided by Customer to Service Provider, (d) Customer's use of the Output, (e) Customer’s failure to adhere to the terms of this Agreement, Service Provider Policies, or to applicable laws, regulations, or industry standards, or (f) Customer Applications, to the extent the claim would not have arisen but for such Customer Application. Should Service Provider reasonably believe the Services are, or may become, the subject of an infringement claim, Service Provider shall, at its own expense, (x) secure for Customer the right to continue using the Services under the terms of this Agreement, (y) replace or modify the Services to make them non-infringing, or (z) if options (x) and (y) are not commercially feasible, terminate this Agreement with written notice to Customer and refund any prepayments for Services not yet rendered. Customer is required to comply promptly with all reasonable instructions from Service Provider in relation to the options provided under sub-sections (x) or (y), including any instruction to cease use of, replace, or modify any Service implicated by such a claim.
    2. Indemnification by Customer. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Service Provider and its affiliates and licensors harmless against any liabilities, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any third-party claim arising out of: (a) Customer's use of the Services in a manner that violates this Agreement or the applicable Service Provider Policies, (b) any Customer Applications; (c) Customer's use of the Output, or (d) any Input provided by Customer.
    3. Procedure for Indemnification. The party seeking indemnification must provide the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any claim, cooperate reasonably in the defense or investigation of such claim (including the preservation and provision of relevant Customer Content), and allow the indemnifying party sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim. However, the indemnified party has the right to participate in its defense at its own cost. The indemnifying party cannot settle or compromise any claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except where the settlement fully absolves the indemnified party of liability, does not affect the indemnified party’s rights, and does not require an admission of liability by the indemnified party. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 8 CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO EITHER PARTY FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR CUSTOMER CONTENT.
  9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
    1. Liability Cap. IN NO EVENT SHALL SERVICE PROVIDER BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN EQUITABLE, LEGAL, OR COMMON LAW ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER FOR CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNITY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, FOR DAMAGES WHICH, IN THE AGGREGATE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SOFTWARE WHICH GAVE RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY.
    2. Disclaimer of Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL SERVICE PROVIDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND AND HOWEVER CAUSED INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY.
  10. TERM AND TERMINATION
    1. Term and Renewal. Subject to any earlier termination as expressly provided below, this Agreement is for the period set forth at the time of order on the Site or any ordering document (“Initial Subscription Term”) and shall be automatically renewed for additional periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Term (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either party requests termination at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then current term. The Initial Subscription Term, and each Renewal Term(s) thereafter, are respectively referred to as the "Subscription Term". The annual Fees for any Renewal Term shall be the Service Provider’s then-current subscription price for the applicable Software as priced at the time of renewal (the “Renewal Price”). The Renewal Price shall be auto-debited from the Customer’s credit card account used to pay for the Initial Subscription Term on the last day of such Initial Subscription Term or the Renewal Term, as the case may be. Service Provider is under no obligation to provide Customer with notification of subscription price increases. Instead, the Renewal Price can be obtained by Customer from Service Provider by emailing eloquens-billing@ignitetech.ai the title “Current Subscription Price Request” and providing written notice as provided below, no less than ninety (90) days prior to end of the then-current Subscription Term. Customer’s notice of non-renewal must be sent to the Service Provider at: eloquens-billing@ignitetech.ai or such other email address provided to Customer by Service Provider from time to time, in writing. The Parties agree that any negotiation of the Fees or terms and conditions for the Renewal Term shall not modify the automatic renewal provision contained in this Agreement. Any modification or termination of the renewal provisions of this Agreement shall require a written agreement between the Parties. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT UNTIMELY NOTICE OF TERMINATION, OR TERMINATION NOTICES SENT TO THE INCORRECT SERVICE PROVIDER EMAIL ADDRESS SHALL NOT BE EFFECTIVE FOR THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

    5. Suspension. If Service Provider, in good faith, believes that Customer has breached the Agreement or determines that Customer is using the Service in such a way as to negatively impact its ongoing business interests, Service Provider may suspend Customer’s access to the Services, without refund, in addition to such other remedies as Service Provider may have at law or pursuant to the Agreement. Whether breach results in suspension and/or termination of access is at Service Provider’s sole discretion.
    6. Other Remedies. Termination of this Agreement shall not limit either party from pursuing other remedies available to it, including injunctive relief, nor shall such termination relieve Customer’s obligation to pay all fees that have accrued or are otherwise owed by Customer under this Agreement.

Any other updates will be effective on the date Service Provider posts the updated Agreement or Service Provider Policies. Customer's continued use of, or access to, the Software after an update goes into effect will constitute acceptance of the update.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be or becomes unenforceable or illegal, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary in order for this Agreement to remain in effect in accordance with its terms as modified by such reformation.
    12. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the state of Texas without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of any state or jurisdiction.

Customer hereby consents to the Service Provider Affiliates' role. Customer further agrees and acknowledges that Service Provider and Customer are the only parties to this Agreement, and that any action taken by Service Provider Affiliates in connection with the performance of Service Provider's obligations under the Agreement will not give rise to any cause of action of any kind against the Service Provider Affiliates, regardless of the theory of recovery.

Customer will indemnify and hold Service Provider harmless for any and all costs associated with Customer's violation of this provision.
    15. During the Subscription Term and for a period of two (2) years following any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer shall maintain written records related to the Use of the Software and Services by Customer, as reasonably necessary to verify compliance with the licensing and usage terms of the Agreement. Such records will be kept in accordance with Customer's documented records retention policy and records retention schedule applicable thereto. Not more than once annually, and with notice of not less than twenty (20) business days, Service Provider may (or may engage a third-party, which will be subject to a confidentiality obligation), to verify “compliance ("Verification"). Verification will take place during normal business hours and in a manner that does not interfere unreasonably with Customer's operations. At Service Provider's option, Service Provider may request, and Customer hereby agrees to complete, a self-audit questionnaire relating to Customer's usage under the rights granted to Customer in the Agreement. If Verification or self-audit reveals unlicensed use of the Software and Services, Customer agrees to compensate Service Provider for such usage.  All costs of the Verification will be borne by Service Provider unless unlicensed usage of five percent (5%) or more is found ("Material Unlicensed Usage"). If Material Unlicensed Usage is found during Verification, Customer shall reimburse Service Provider for the actual costs associated with performance of the Verification. Service Provider and any third-party involved in the Verification will use the information obtained in compliance review only to enforce Service Provider's rights and to determine Customer's compliance with the terms of the licenses granted in the Agreement. By invoking the rights and procedures described in this section, Service Provider does not waive the right to enforce other terms of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, any intellectual property rights by other means as permitted by law.
    16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all proposals and prior discussions and writings between the parties with respect thereto.
