(a) Disclaimer. The Platform Services are designed to allow Customer and its Authorized Users to interface or interact with, access and/or use compatible third-party services, products, technology and content, including generative AI tools and related large language models maintained by third parties and the API Response Data generated by such AI models and tools (collectively, "Third-Party Services") through the Platform Services. Service Provider does not provide any aspect of the Third-Party Services and is not responsible for any compatibility issues, errors or bugs in the Platform Services or Third-Party Services caused in whole or in part by the Third-Party Services or any update or upgrade thereto.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
(a) Service Provider. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, Service Provider reserves and, as between the Parties, will solely own, the Service Provider IP, the Service Information and all rights, title and interest in and to the Service Provider IP and Service Information. No rights are granted to Customer hereunder (whether by implication, estoppel, exhaustion or otherwise) other than as expressly set forth herein.
(b) Customer. As between Customer and Service Provider, Customer owns and retains all right, title and interest in and to all Customer Materials. Customer hereby grants Service Provider a non-exclusive, worldwide right and license during the Term to use Customer Materials solely to provide, maintain, support, and secure the Platform Services for Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, Service Provider may use Deidentified Data and API Response Data to train, improve, or develop generalized models, algorithms, or services offered to third parties, provided that all Customer Materials have been converted to Deidentified Data prior to such use. Nothing in this Agreement restricts Service Provider's use of Service Information, provided it does not include Customer Materials that have not been converted to Deidentified Data or Personal Information, and does not identify Customer or its users. Service Provider will not attempt to re-identify, and will not permit any third party to attempt to re-identify, any Deidentified Data, and will maintain processes designed to prevent any such re-identification.
(c) Feedback. From time to time Customer or its Authorized Users may provide Service Provider with suggestions, comments, feedback or the like with regard to the Platform Services (including with respect to any feedback Customer may provide within the Platform regarding the API Response Data) (collectively, "Feedback"). Customer hereby grants Service Provider a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free and fully-paid up license to use and exploit all Feedback in connection with Service Provider's business purposes, including, without limitation, the testing, development, maintenance and improvement of the Platform Services.

Service Provider reserves the right to at any time modify or update the Platform Services (or any part or content thereof) without advance notice, and Service Provider will not be liable to Customer, any Authorized User or to any third-party for any modification or suspension of the Platform Services.
7. FEES AND PAYMENT.
(a) Fees and Pricing. Certain parts of the Platform Services have different pricing plans, which are available to workspace administrators within the account settings of the Platform at whitecircle.ai (the "Pricing Information"). Customer will pay Service Provider the applicable fees ("Fees") based on the product tier and Customer's usage as set forth in the Pricing Information. Service Provider may update pricing by giving at least thirty (30) days' notice to Customer (including by email or notification within the Platform), and the change will apply in the next Subscription Period (as defined in Section 11(a)).
(b) Prepaid Credits. Customer may purchase prepaid usage Credits in amounts specified in the Pricing Information ("Prepaid Credits"). Credits are consumed in connection with Customer's use of the Service Provider API as described herein. Credits are non-refundable and non-transferable. Credits shall be depleted at a rate set forth in the Pricing Information per Service Provider API request. The Platform's system logs and usage reports, as may be made available through the Platform, shall be the authoritative record for metering and credit consumption. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Prepaid Credits expire twelve (12) months from the date of purchase and do not roll over. Any unused Credits at expiration are forfeited.
(c) Additional Credit Purchases. If Customer depletes all Credits prior to their expiration, Customer may purchase additional Credits in increments specified in the Pricing Information or as otherwise agreed in writing. Service Provider may, at its discretion, allow for additional Credits to be purchased: (i) on-demand via the Platform's purchase workflow; (ii) pursuant to an auto-replenishment setting enabled by Customer, in which case Service Provider is authorized to charge Customer for additional Credits automatically when the remaining Credit balance reaches a specified threshold; or (iii) upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties, email being sufficient.
(d) Overage Charges. If Customer's remaining Credits reach zero and Customer has not purchased additional Credits, then continued use of the Platform Services may be permitted subject to overage fees ("Overage Fees"). Overage Fees shall be charged per Service Provider API request at the then-current per-request rate stated in the Pricing Information, which may be higher than the effective per-request rate under Prepaid Credits. Overage Fees are invoiced monthly in arrears and payable pursuant to this Section 7.
(e) Payment Process. All Fees are billed on a monthly basis. Fees shall be collected via one of the following methods: (i) Automatic Payment --- Customer authorizes Service Provider to bill and charge Customer's payment method on file (such as a credit card, debit card, or other method offered by Service Provider) for immediate payment or deduction without further approval; or (ii) Invoicing --- Service Provider will send monthly invoices for usage-based Fees (including Overage Fees) in arrears and for all other Fees in advance. If Service Provider cannot charge Customer's selected payment method for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts, and Service Provider will attempt to charge the payment method again as Customer may update its payment method information. In accordance with local law, Service Provider may update information regarding Customer's selected payment method if provided such information by Customer's financial institution.
(f) Payments. All payments are non-refundable and neither Party will have the right to set off, discount or otherwise reduce or refuse to pay any amounts due to the other Party under this Agreement. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, late charges will accrue at the rate of 1.5% per month or, if lower, the highest rate permitted by applicable law, and Service Provider may suspend or shut down the Platform Services until all payments are made in full. Customer will reimburse Service Provider for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys' fees) in collecting any late payments or interest. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information and to update Service Provider of any changes to such information.
(g) Taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, ad valorem and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, multinational or local governmental regulatory authority on any amount payable by Customer to Service Provider hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Service Provider's income. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that Customer is required to deduct or withhold any taxes from the amounts payable to Service Provider hereunder, Customer will pay an additional amount, so that Service Provider receives the amounts due to it hereunder in full, as if there were no withholding or deduction.
(h) Suspension for Non-Payment or Exhaustion. Service Provider may suspend Customer's ability to submit further Service Provider API requests if: (i) Customer has exhausted all Credits and has not enabled auto-overage or purchased additional Credits; or (ii) Customer is delinquent on Overage Fees or other amounts due. Service Provider shall lift the suspension upon receipt of payment for additional Credits or outstanding amounts.
8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
(a) Definitions. As used herein, "Confidential Information" means any information that one Party (the "Disclosing Party") provides to the other Party (the "Receiving Party") in connection with this Agreement, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be considered to be confidential given the nature of the information and/or the circumstances of disclosure. However, Confidential Information will not include any information or materials that: (i) were, at the date of disclosure, or have subsequently become, generally known or available to the public through no act or failure to act by the Receiving Party; (ii) were rightfully known by the Receiving Party prior to receiving such information or materials from the Disclosing Party; (iii) are rightfully acquired by the Receiving Party from a third party who has the right to disclose such information or materials without breach of any confidentiality or non-use obligation to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) are independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without use of or access to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

(b) Confidentiality Obligations. The Receiving Party will maintain the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in strict confidence, and will not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as necessary to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement. The Receiving Party will not disclose or cause to be disclosed any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except (i) to those employees, representatives, or contractors of the Receiving Party who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information to perform under this Agreement and who are bound by written agreements with use and nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective as those set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) as such disclosure may be required by the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body, subject to the Receiving Party providing to the Disclosing Party reasonable written notice to allow the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise contest the disclosure.

All notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing, will reference this Agreement, and will be sent to the relevant address provided by Customer or to such other address as may be specified by the relevant Party to the other Party in accordance with this Section 17(b). Such notices will be deemed given: (i) when delivered personally; (ii) one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally recognized express courier, with written confirmation of receipt; (iii) when sent by email, on the date the email was sent without a bounce back message if sent during normal business hours of the receiving party, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the receiving party; or (iv) three (3) business days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
(c) Waiver. Either Party's failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party granting the waiver.
(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, given the fundamental intentions of the Parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
(e) Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the other Party's prior written consent. Any attempt to assign or transfer this Agreement without such consent will be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider may assign or transfer this Agreement to a third party that succeeds to all or substantially all of Service Provider's business and assets relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether by sale, merger, operation of law or otherwise. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Service Provider may also freely engage subcontractors in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
(f) Equitable Relief. Each Party agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 8 (Confidential Information) or, in the case of Customer, Section 3(b), would cause the other Party irreparable harm and significant damages for which there may be no adequate remedy under law and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will have the right to seek immediate equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
(g) Force Majeure. Neither Party will be responsible for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (except for any payment obligations) due to causes beyond its reasonable control, which may include, without limitation, labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, shortages of or inability to obtain energy, raw materials or supplies, denial of service or other malicious attacks, telecommunications failure or degradation, pandemics, epidemics, public health emergencies, governmental orders and acts (including government-imposed travel restrictions and quarantines), material changes in law, war, terrorism, riot, or acts of God.
(h) Export Regulation. Customer affirms that it is not named on, owned by, or acting on behalf of any U.S. government denied-party list, and it agrees to comply fully with all relevant export control and sanctions laws and regulations of the United States ("Export Laws") to ensure that neither the Platform Services, software, any Customer Materials, nor any technical data related thereto is: (i) used, exported or re-exported directly or indirectly in violation of Export Laws; or (ii) used for any purposes prohibited by the Export Laws, including, but not limited to, nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons proliferation, missile systems or technology, or restricted unmanned aerial vehicle applications. Customer will complete all undertakings required by Export Laws, including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval.
(i) U.S. Government End Users. The Platform Services and related software were developed solely at private expense and are "commercial products", "commercial items", or "commercial computer software" as defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation 2.101 and other relevant government procurement regulations including agency supplements. Any use, duplication, or disclosure of the Platform Services or related software by or on behalf of the U.S. government is subject to restrictions as set forth in this Agreement as consistent with federal law and regulations. If these terms fail to meet the U.S. Government's needs or are inconsistent in any respect with federal law, Customer will immediately discontinue its use of the Platform Services and related software.
(j) Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to establish any partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the Parties. Neither Party will have the power or authority to bind the other or incur any obligations on the other's behalf without the other Party's prior written consent.
(k) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
