Researcher Licensees must notify Company promptly if they cease to qualify as a Researcher Licensee (e.g., upon leaving an eligible institution).

3. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS

3.1 Online Subscriptions. If you subscribe directly through the Services, fees are due at the time of purchase using an accepted payment method. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled in accordance with these Terms, and renewal fees will be charged to your designated payment method at the start of each billing period. Upgrades will be billed on a prorated basis for the remainder of the current period and charged immediately. Downgrades, if permitted, will take effect at the start of the next billing period unless we agree otherwise in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Researcher Licensees are not subject to subscription fees during the approved Researcher License Term. Any usage by a Researcher Licensee beyond the approved scope of their Researcher License, including any commercial use, will automatically convert such access to a standard paid subscription, and Company reserves the right to invoice the applicable fees retroactively.

3.2 Enterprise Orders. If you purchase under an executed Order, Company will invoice you for the applicable fees, and payment is due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date unless otherwise specified in the Order.

3.3 Price Adjustments. We may adjust pricing or fees for renewal terms by providing prior notice. Any overdue amounts will accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the due date until paid. You agree to reimburse any costs of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

3.4 Authorized Payment Methods. You may use any payment method accepted by Company as listed on our website. We will collect your payment information in order to carry out collection of fees. We will collect for the duration of the Term and any subsequent renewal terms, as specified in the applicable Order. We may utilize third party payment processors to process payments of fees on our behalf. We do not guarantee the availability of any specific method at any given time and may add, suspend, or remove payment methods at our discretion.

3.5 Payment Representations. You represent and warrant that: (i) the payment information you provide is accurate and complete; (ii) you are authorized to use the selected payment method; (iii) all charges will be honored by your payment provider; and (iv) you will pay all fees and applicable taxes. You agree to keep your information up to date.

4. TERM AND TERMINATION

4.1 Term and Renewal. Your subscription Term will be specified in the applicable Order. Unless otherwise stated in the Order, subscriptions are billed on a monthly basis and will automatically renew for successive one-month periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current Term. Customers may elect an annual subscription commitment, in which case billing will occur annually in advance at discounted rates as set forth in the Order, and such subscriptions will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current Term.

4.2 Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate these Terms for cause: (i) with thirty (30) days’ written notice if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure the breach within that period, provided the breach is not cured to the other party’s reasonable satisfaction within such 30-day period; or (ii) immediately, if the other party becomes subject to bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings, liquidation, or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors. We may also terminate these Terms with thirty (30) days’ notice if your actions, in our reasonable judgment, pose reputational, legal, or operational risks to Company or its users.

4.3 Suspension for Non-Payment. If any payment due remains unpaid after notice, we may restrict your access to certain features of the Services, including suspension of the ability to generate new Embeddings or perform new analyses, beginning ten (10) days after such notice. During such suspension you will continue to have access to previously generated results and to administrative portions of the Services. We will not restrict access if you are reasonably and in good faith disputing the charges and are actively cooperating to resolve the dispute. This Section 4.3 does not apply to Researcher Licensees, who are subject to the suspension provisions set forth in Section 2.7(g).

4.4 Effect of Termination or Expiration. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms, you must cease all use of the Services. If you terminate for cause, we will refund any prepaid, unused fees for the remainder of your Term. If we terminate for cause, you must immediately pay all outstanding fees through the end of the Term. Except as expressly provided, all fees are non-refundable. In the event of termination of a Researcher License by Company without cause, no fees shall be owed by the Researcher Licensee. Research Outputs published prior to termination may remain published, subject to continuing compliance with the attribution requirements in Section 2.7(e).

4.5 Post-Termination Obligations. Within thirty (30) days following termination or expiration, Company shall delete or destroy all copies of User Data or User-Generated Datasets in its possession, except as required by law or as reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with these Terms. Company reserves the right, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to audit your compliance with the obligations in this section, including verifying that you have ceased use of the Services and deleted or destroyed any Company-owned materials in your possession.

4.6 User Deletion of Embeddings. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms, you shall immediately cease all use of the Services and Embeddings. Within thirty (30) days thereafter, you must delete and permanently destroy all Embeddings (including any copies or extracts thereof) in your possession or control, except to the extent expressly permitted in writing by Company. Upon request, you shall provide written certification of such deletion.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

5.1 Services. As between the parties, Company retains all right, title, and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to the Services, including all software, models, processing pipelines, documentation, and related materials. No rights are granted to you other than those expressly set forth in these Terms.

5.2 User Data. You retain all ownership rights in and to your User Data. These Terms do not grant Company any ownership in your User Data. You hereby grant Company a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to access, use, process, and store your User Data solely as necessary to (a) provide and improve the Services; (b) ensure compliance with these Terms; and (c) develop derivative data or insights, provided such derivatives do not expose personally identifiable information. User Data will remain confidential and will never be shared with third parties. Upon account deletion, all User Data will be securely deleted from Company systems, subject to standard backup retention policies and legal requirements. With respect to Researcher Licensees, Company's license to User Data under this Section 5.2 includes the right to use anonymized or aggregated insights derived from Researcher Licensee activity to improve and develop the Services, provided that no personally identifiable information or institution-identifying data is disclosed.

5.3 Embeddings. You may export Embeddings generated from your User Data and use them indefinitely for your internal purposes. Company retains all rights in and to its proprietary Embeddings and model-generated enhancements, which may incorporate modifications or additional logic beyond your submitted inputs. These proprietary versions of Embeddings are not exportable. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership in Company’s underlying models or embedding generation infrastructure.

5.4 Manual Annotations and Feedback. You acknowledge that Company retains all right, title, and interest in and to any classification models trained or improved using User Data, including any annotations or feedback submitted by you or your End Users. Company may use these models and annotations to enhance its Services and offer improved or modified models to other customers, provided that such models do not include your raw User Data or reveal your identity. Manual annotations submitted via the Services are not considered User Data for purposes of Section 5.2. Researcher Licensees acknowledge that any annotations, labels, or feedback submitted through the Services may be used by Company to improve its models and Services in accordance with this Section 5.4, consistent with the noncommercial purpose of the Researcher License. Such use shall not result in the identification of the Researcher Licensee or their affiliated institution.

5.5 Enterprise Model Use Restrictions. For clarity, Company will not reuse, retrain, or repurpose models developed specifically for an Enterprise customer using that customer's proprietary User Data or configuration, except with that customer's prior written consent. This does not limit Company’s right to use generalized models, derivatives, or feedback aggregated from non-Enterprise sources.

5.6 Research Outputs. As between the parties, you retain ownership of Research Outputs you create, provided that such Research Outputs do not contain raw Embeddings or enable reconstruction of Company's proprietary Embeddings. Company retains all right, title, and interest in and to the underlying Embeddings and models used to generate them, and nothing in these Terms transfers any such rights to you by virtue of a Researcher License.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Confidentiality Obligations. The Receiving Party agrees to: (i) protect the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care; (ii) use the Confidential Information solely as permitted under these Terms; (iii) not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party except as expressly authorized herein; and (iv) restrict access to the Confidential Information to its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors, and agents who need access for purposes consistent with these Terms and who are bound by written confidentiality obligations no less protective than those set forth in this section.

6.2 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other legal process to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, it will: (i) provide prompt written notice to the Disclosing Party, unless legally prohibited from doing so, to allow the Disclosing Party an opportunity to seek a protective order or otherwise contest the disclosure; (ii) refer the request to the Disclosing Party where feasible and provide reasonable cooperation at the Disclosing Party’s expense in opposing the disclosure; and (iii) if disclosure is ultimately required, disclose only the minimum amount of Confidential Information necessary to comply with the legal obligation. In no event will the Receiving Party disclose Confidential Information to any party other than a governmental authority unless under a valid and enforceable court order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Your Indemnity. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, and representatives from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any fines or penalties imposed by a regulatory authority) arising out of or related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your use of the Services in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right; (iii) any content or data you provide through the Services that infringes or misappropriates the rights of a third party; or (iv) any use of the Services or Embeddings by you under a Researcher License for any purpose beyond Noncommercial Research Purposes, including any commercial use or publication in violation of Section 2.7.

7.2 Company’s Indemnity. Company agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold you harmless from any actual or threatened third-party claim that the Services infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of any third party during the Term, provided that: (i) you provide Company with prompt written notice of the claim; (ii) Company has full and complete control over the defense and settlement of the claim; (iii) you provide assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the claim as we may reasonably request; and (iv) you agree to comply with any settlement or court order made in connection with the claim. 

7.3 Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will have no obligation for any infringement or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property rights to the extent that any such claim arises out of or is based upon: (i) the combination, operation, or use of the Services with a third party product or service if such infringement would have been avoided but for such combination; (ii) use of the Services outside of the scope of the license granted to you; (iii) any modification of the Services not made by Company where such infringement would not have occurred absent such modification; (iv) your unauthorized use of the Services; or (v) in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct by you or your End Users.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.1 Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE: (I) FOR ANY AMOUNT EXCEEDING THE TOTAL FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU TO COMPANY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (II) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THE REMEDY OTHERWISE FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS SECTION 8.1, WITH RESPECT TO RESEARCHER LICENSEES, COMPANY'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO A RESEARCHER LICENSE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100.00), GIVEN THAT FEES CHARGED UNDER THE RESEARCHER LICENSE, IF ANY, ARE NOMINAL.

8.2 Essential Basis for the Bargain. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND COMPANY AND THAT COMPANY WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO YOU WITHOUT YOUR AGREEMENT TO THESE LIMITATIONS.

10.5 Entire Agreement. These Terms, including our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Company regarding the Services. These Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous proposals, agreements, or understandings -- oral, written, or electronic. We expressly object to and reject any additional or conflicting terms you propose. Our obligations are not contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features unless expressly agreed to in writing. Where a Researcher Licensee has received a separate written approval letter from Company specifying additional conditions or restrictions applicable to their Researcher License, such letter shall be incorporated into and form part of these Terms as between Company and that Researcher Licensee.

10.6 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent, except in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of your assets, provided the assignee is not a competitor of Company.
