PLEASE READ THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS (“TERMS”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES OFFERED BY ICON AI, INC. (“Icon”). BY MUTUALLY EXECUTING ONE OR MORE ORDER FORMS WITH Icon WHICH REFERENCE THESE TERMS (EACH, AN “ORDER FORM”), YOU (“CUSTOMER”) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS (TOGETHER WITH ALL ORDER FORMS, THE “AGREEMENT”) TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER TERMS. IN ADDITION, ANY ONLINE ORDER FORM WHICH YOU SUBMIT VIA Icon’S STANDARD ONLINE PROCESS AND WHICH IS ACCEPTED BY Icon SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MUTUALLY EXECUTED. IF YOU SIGNED AN OFFLINE VARIANT OF THESE TERMS FOR USE OF THE SERVICES, THESE TERMS DO NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOUR OFFLINE TERMS GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. IF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE CONSIDERED AN OFFER, ACCEPTANCE IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO SUCH TERMS.
Any individual who agrees to these Terms on behalf of a party represents that he/she is duly authorized to do so on behalf of that party and is operating within the scope of his/her authority.
1. Order Forms; Access to the Service
Upon mutual execution, each Order Form shall be incorporated into
and form a part of the Agreement. For each Order Form, subject to
Customer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (including any limitations and restrictions set forth on
the applicable Order Form) Icon grants Customer a nonexclusive,
limited, personal, nonsublicensable, nontransferable right and
license to internally access and use the Icon product(s) and/or
service(s) specified in such Order Form (collectively, the
“Service,” or “Services”) during the applicable Order Form Term
(as defined below) for the internal business purposes of Customer,
only as provided herein and only in accordance with Icon’s
applicable official user documentation for such Service (the
“Documentation”).
2. Support
Subject to Customer’s payment of all applicable fees, Icon will
provide support and maintenance service in a professional and
workmanlike manner and in accordance with the support package
selected by Customer on the applicable Order Form (if any).
3. Service Updates
From time to time, Icon may provide upgrades, patches,
enhancements, or fixes for the Services to its customers generally
without additional charge (“Updates”), and such Updates will
become part of the Services and subject to this Agreement;
provided that Icon shall have no obligation under this Agreement
or otherwise to provide any such Updates. Customer understands
that Icon may cease supporting old versions or releases of the
Services at any time in its sole discretion; provided that Icon
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give Customer
reasonable prior notice of any major changes.
4. Ownership; Feedback
As between the parties, Icon retains all right, title, and
interest in and to the Services, and all software, products,
works, and other intellectual property and moral rights related
thereto or created, used, or provided by Icon for the purposes of
this Agreement, including any copies and derivative works of the
foregoing. Any software which is distributed or otherwise provided
to Customer hereunder (including without limitation any software
identified on an Order Form) shall be deemed a part of the
“Services” and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. No rights or licenses are granted except as expressly
and unambiguously set forth in this Agreement. Customer may (but
is not obligated to) provide suggestions, comments or other
feedback to Icon with respect to the Service (“Feedback”).
Feedback, even if designated as confidential by Customer, shall
not create any confidentiality obligation for Icon notwithstanding
anything else. Icon acknowledges and agrees that all Feedback is
provided “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind. Customer shall,
and hereby does, grant to Icon a nonexclusive, worldwide,
perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free,
fully paid up license to use and exploit the Feedback for any
purpose. Nothing in this Agreement will impair Icon’s right to
develop, acquire, license, market, promote or distribute products,
software or technologies that perform the same or similar
functions as, or otherwise compete with any products, software or
technologies that Customer may develop, produce, market, or
distribute.
5. Fees; Payment
Customer shall pay Icon fees for the Service as set forth in each
Order Form (“Fees”). Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form,
all Fees shall be invoiced annually in advance and all invoices
issued under this Agreement are payable in U.S. dollars within
thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Past due invoices are
subject to interest on any outstanding balance of the lesser of
1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law. Customer
shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Service
(excluding taxes based on Icon’s net income). All Fees paid are
non-refundable and are not subject to set-off. If Customer exceeds
any user or usage limitations set forth on an Order Form, then (i)
Icon shall invoice Customer for such additional users or usage at
the overage rates set forth on the Order Form (or if no overage
rates are set forth on the Order Form, at Icon’s then-current
standard overage rates for such usage), in each case on a pro-rata
basis from the first date of such excess usage through the end of
the Order Form Initial Term or then-current Order Form Renewal
Term (as applicable), and (ii) if such Order Form Term renews (in
accordance with the section entitled “Term; Termination”, below,
such renewal shall include the additional fees for such excess
users and usage.
6. Restrictions
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Customer shall
not (and shall not permit any third party to), directly or
indirectly: (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or
otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code, or
underlying structure, ideas, or algorithms of the Service (except
to the extent applicable laws specifically prohibit such
restriction); (ii) modify, translate, or create derivative works
based on the Service; (iii) copy, rent, lease, distribute, pledge,
assign, or otherwise transfer or encumber rights to the Service;
(iv) use the Service for the benefit of a third party; (v) remove
or otherwise alter any proprietary notices or labels from the
Service or any portion thereof; (vi) use the Service to build an
application or product that is competitive with any Icon product
or service; (vii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the
proper working of the Service or any activities conducted on the
Service; (viii) bypass any measures Icon may use to prevent or
restrict access to the Service (or other accounts, computer
systems or networks connected to the Service); or (ix) “crawl,”
“scrape,” or “spider” any page, data, or portion of or relating to
the Service (or any information, data or content made available
through the Service), whether through use of manual or automated
means. Customer is responsible for all of Customer’s activity in
connection with the Service, including but not limited to
uploading Customer Data (as defined below) onto the Service.
Customer (a) shall use the Service in compliance with all
applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, treaties and
regulations in connection with Customer’s use of the Service
(including those related to data privacy, international
communications, export laws and the transmission of technical or
personal data laws); and (b) shall not use the Service in a manner
that is harmful, deceptive, threatening, harassing or obscene or
that violates any third party intellectual property, contractual
or other proprietary rights.
7. Customer Data
For purposes of this Agreement, “Customer Data” shall mean any
data, information or other material provided, uploaded, or
submitted by Customer to the Service in the course of using the
Service. Customer shall retain all right, title and interest in
and to the Customer Data, including all intellectual property
rights therein. Customer, not Icon, shall have sole responsibility
for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability,
appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to
use of all Customer Data. Icon shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain the security and integrity of the Service and
the Customer Data. Icon is not responsible to Customer for
unauthorized access to Customer Data or the unauthorized use of
the Service unless such access is due to Icon’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Customer is responsible for the use of the
Service by any person to whom Customer has given access to the
Service, even if Customer did not authorize such use. Customer
agrees and acknowledges that Customer Data may be irretrievably
deleted if Customer’s account is ninety (90) days or more
delinquent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer
acknowledges and agrees that Icon may (i) internally use and
modify (but not disclose) Customer Data for the purposes of (A)
providing the Service to Customer and (B) generating Aggregated
Anonymous Data (as defined below), and (ii) freely use and make
available Aggregated Anonymous Data for Icon’s business purposes
(including without limitation, for purposes of improving, testing,
operating, promoting and marketing Icon’s products and services).
“Aggregated Anonymous Data” means data submitted to, collected by,
or generated by Icon in connection with Customer’s use of the
Service, but only in aggregate, anonymized form which can in no
way be linked specifically to Customer.
8. Third Party Services
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Service may operate on,
with or using application programming interfaces (APIs) and/or
other services operated or provided by third parties (“Third Party
Services”), including without limitation through integrations or
connectors to such Third Party Services that are provided by Icon.
Icon is not responsible for the operation of any Third Party
Services nor the availability or operation of the Service to the
extent such availability and operation is dependent upon Third
Party Services. Customer is solely responsible for procuring any
and all rights necessary for it to access Third Party Services
(including any Customer Data or other information relating
thereto) and for complying with any applicable terms or conditions
thereof. Icon does not make any representations or warranties with
respect to Third Party Services or any third party providers. Any
exchange of data or other interaction between Customer and a third
party provider is solely between Customer and such third party
provider and is governed by such third party’s terms and
conditions.
9. Term; Termination
This Agreement shall commence upon the date of the first Order
Form, and, unless earlier terminated in accordance herewith, shall
last until the expiration of all Order Form Terms. For each Order
Form, unless otherwise specified therein, the “Order Form Term”
shall begin as of the effective date set forth on such Order Form,
and unless earlier terminated as set forth herein, (x) shall
continue for the initial term specified on such Order Form (the
“Order Form Initial Term”), and (y) following the Order Form
Initial Term, shall automatically renew for additional successive
periods of equal duration to the Order Form Initial Term (each, a
“Order Form Renewal Term”) unless either party notifies the other
party of such party’s intention not to renew no later than thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration of the Order Form Initial Term
or then-current Order Form Renewal Term, as applicable. In the
event of a material breach of this Agreement by either party, the
non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement by providing
written notice to the breaching party, provided that the breaching
party does not materially cure such breach within thirty (30) days
of receipt of such notice. If Customer requests services in
addition to the Services contemplated by the Agreement and Icon is
unable to provide such additional services, then Icon may decide
to terminate this Agreement for convenience. In the event of such
termination, Icon will refund to Customer any paid but unearned
Fees. Without limiting the foregoing, Icon may suspend or limit
Customer’s access to or use of the Service if (i) Customer’s
account is more than sixty (60) days past due, or (ii) Customer’s
use of the Service results in (or is reasonably likely to result
in) damage to or material degradation of the Service which
interferes with Icon’s ability to provide access to the Service to
other customers; provided that in the case of subsection (ii): (a)
Icon shall use reasonable good faith efforts to work with Customer
to resolve or mitigate the damage or degradation in order to
resolve the issue without resorting to suspension or limitation;
(b) prior to any such suspension or limitation, Icon shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Customer
describing the nature of the damage or degradation; and (c) Icon
shall reinstate Customer’s use of or access to the Service, as
applicable, if Customer remediates the issue within thirty (30)
days of receipt of such notice. All provisions of this Agreement
which by their nature should survive termination shall survive
termination, including, without limitation, accrued payment
obligations, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity
and limitations of liability. For clarity, any services provided
by Icon to Customer, including the data export set out above, and
any assistance in exporting the Customer Data, shall be billable
at Icon’s standard rates then in effect.
10. Indemnification
Each party (“Indemnitor”) shall defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless the other party, its affiliates and each of its and its
affiliates’ employees, contractors, directors, suppliers and
representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitee”) from all
liabilities, claims, and expenses paid or payable to an
unaffiliated third party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
(“Losses”), that arise from or relate to any claim that (i) in the
case of Customer as Indemnitor, the Customer Data or Customer’s
use of the Service infringes, violates, or misappropriates any
third party intellectual property or proprietary right or violates
any applicable law, or (ii) in the case of Icon as Indemnitor, the
Service infringes, violates, or misappropriates any third party
intellectual property or proprietary right. Each Indemnitor’s
indemnification obligations hereunder shall be conditioned upon
the Indemnitee providing the Indemnitor with: (i) prompt written
notice of any claim (provided that a failure to provide such
notice shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnity
obligations if the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such
failure); (ii) the option to assume sole control over the defense
and settlement of any claim (provided that the Indemnitee may
participate in such defense and settlement at its own expense);
and (iii) reasonable information and assistance in connection with
such defense and settlement (at the Indemnitor’s expense). The
foregoing obligations of Icon do not apply with respect to the
Service or any information, technology, materials or data (or any
portions or components of the foregoing) to the extent (i) not
created or provided by Icon (including without limitation any
Customer Data), (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance to
Customer specifications, (iii) modified after delivery by Icon,
(iv) combined with other products, processes or materials not
provided by Icon (where the alleged Losses arise from or relate to
such combination), (v) where Customer continues allegedly
infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being
informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged
infringement, or (vi) Customer’s use of the Service is not
strictly in accordance herewith.

FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY ANY COURSE

ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.
12. Limitation of Liability
EXCEPT FOR THE PARTIES’ INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AND FOR
CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF THE SECTION ENTITLED “RESTRICTIONS”, IN NO
EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, NOR ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS OR CONTENT PROVIDERS, BE LIABLE UNDER
CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE THEORY WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
AGREEMENT (I) FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, DATA LOSS, COST OF PROCUREMENT
OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,

AGGREGATE) THE FEES PAID (OR PAYABLE) BY CUSTOMER TO Icon
HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE
TO A CLAIM HEREUNDER.

no modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective unless agreed by both parties in writing, and
no waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective
unless in writing and signed by the waiving party. Except for

provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent
necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full
force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to
act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by the other party
shall not constitute a waiver and shall not limit such party’s
rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches.
