Etiq AI will retain all right, title and interest in and to any materials, deliverables, modifications, derivative works, libraries, APRs, databases or developments that Etiq AI provides in connection with any this Agreement, the Services or any Additional Services (“Etiq AI Deliverables”). Client may use any Etiq AI Deliverables provided to Client only in connection with the Software, subject to the same usage rights and restrictions as for the Software. For clarity, Etiq AI Deliverables are not considered Software, and any Software (including any New Release) is not considered an Etiq AI Deliverable.

(b) Customer Materials. Client agrees to provide Etiq AI with reasonable access to Client’s materials, systems, personnel or other resources (including Client’s instances of the Software) as reasonably necessary for Etiq AI’s provision of Additional Services (“Customer Materials”).

Clients retain Client’s rights in Client’s Customer Materials, subject to Etiq AI’s ownership of any underlying Software, Etiq AI Deliverables or other Etiq AI Technology. Etiq AI will use Customer Materials solely for purposes of performing the Additional Services. Clients represent and warrant that Clients have all necessary rights in Customer Materials to provide them to Etiq AI for such purposes.

(c) Training Not Covered. Client purchase, and our delivery of Training is a separate agreement.

6. Licence Term, Returns and Payment

6.1. Licence Term and Renewals. The Licence Term, Support and Maintenance period will be indicated in the Statement of Work or on the payment page (as applicable). The Licence Term and any applicable service periods will commence on the Statement of Work date (unless a different start date is designated in the Statement of Work) or on the payment date as applicable and automatically renewed on a monthly basis until Termination Notice is served.

6.2. Delivery. We will deliver the applicable softwareto Client within a reasonable time from receiving payment of the applicable fees. All deliveries under this Agreement will be electronic. For the avoidance of doubt, Client is responsible for installation of the Software, and acknowledges that Etiq AI has no further delivery obligation with respect to the Software after delivery of the software.

6.3. Increased Scope of Use. During Client’s Licence Term, Client may increase Client’s Scope of Use (e.g., adding Authorised Users, licences, copies or instances) by placing a new Statement of Work or, if made available by Etiq AI, directly through the applicable Software. Any increases to Client’s Scope of Use will be subject to additional fees, as set forth in the applicable Statement of Work.

6.4. Payment. If clients are not paying directly via the subscription page, clients will pay all fees in accordance with each Statement of Work, by the due dates and in the currency specified in the Statement of Work. If a purchase order number is required in order for an invoice to be paid, then Client must provide the purchase order number to Etiq AI by emailing the purchase order number to contact@etiq.ai. For Additional Services provided at any non-Etiq AI location, unless otherwise specified in Client’s Statement of Work, Client will reimburse Etiq AI for its pre-approved travel, lodging and meal expenses, which Etiq AI may charge as incurred. All amounts are non-refundable, non-cancellable and non-creditable. Client agrees that we may bill Client’s credit card or other payment method for renewals, additional users, expenses and unpaid fees, as applicable.

6.5. Taxes. Client fees under this Agreement exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the Software in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by Etiq AI, Client must pay to Etiq AI the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to any fees owed under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client may have obtained an exemption from relevant taxes or duties as of the time such taxes or duties are levied or assessed. In that case, Client will have the right to provide to Etiq AI any such exemption information, and Etiq AI will use reasonable efforts to provide such invoicing documents as may enable Client to obtain a refund or credit for the amount so paid from any relevant revenue authority if such a refund or credit is available.

6.6. Future Functionality; Separate Purchases. Client acknowledges that the Software and Additional Support referenced are being purchased separately from any of our other products or services. Payment obligations for any products or services are not contingent on the purchase or use of any of our other products (and for clarity, any purchases of Software and Additional Services are separate and not contingent on each other, even if listed on the same Statement of Work). Client agrees that Client’s purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features (including future availability of any Software beyond the current Licence Term or any New Releases), or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Etiq AI regarding future functionality or features.

7. No-Charge Software. We may offer certain Software to Client at no charge, including trial use and Beta Versions as defined below (collectively, “No-Charge Software”). Client use of No-Charge Software is subject to any additional terms that we specify and is only permitted during the Licence Term we designate (or, if not designated, until terminated in accordance with this Licensing Schedule). Except as otherwise set forth in this Section, the terms and conditions of this Licensing Schedule governing Software, including Section 3.1 (Restrictions), fully apply to No-Charge Software. We may terminate Client’s right to use No-Charge Software at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to Client. Client understand that any pre-release and beta versions of Software, and any pre-release and beta features within generally available Software, that we make available (collectively, “Beta Versions”) are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Software. We make no promises that any Beta Versions will ever be made generally available. In some circumstances, we may charge a fee in order to allow Client to use Beta Versions, but the Beta Versions will still remain subject to this Section 8. All information regarding the characteristics, features or performance of any No-Charge Software (including Beta Versions) constitutes Etiq AI’s Confidential Information. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all obligations or liabilities with respect to No-Charge Software, including any Support and Maintenance, warranty, and indemnity obligations.

8. License Certifications and Audits. At our request, Client agrees to provide a signed certification that Client is using all Software pursuant to the terms of this Licensing Schedule, including the Scope of Use. Client agrees to allow us, or our authorised agent, to audit Client’s use of the Software (including that of Client’s Authorised Users). We will provide the Client with at least ten (10) days advance notice prior to the audit, and the audit will be conducted during normal business hours. We will bear all out-of-pocket costs that we incur for the audit, unless the audit reveals that Client has exceeded the Scope of Use. Client will provide reasonable assistance, cooperation, and access to relevant information in the course of any audit at Client’s own cost. If Client exceeds Client’s Scope of Use, we may invoice Client for any past or ongoing excessive use, and Client will pay the invoice promptly after receipt. This remedy is without prejudice to any other remedies available to Etiq AI at law or equity or under this Licensing Schedule. To the extent we are obligated to do so, we may share audit results with certain of our third-party licensors or assign the audit rights specified in this Section 9 to such licensors.

9. Ownership and Feedback. The Software is made available on a limited licence or access basis, and no ownership right is conveyed to Client, irrespective of the use of terms such as “purchase” or “sale”. Etiq AI and its licensors have and retain all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to Etiq AI Technology (including the Software). From time to time, Clients may choose to submit Feedback to us. Etiq AI may in connection with any of its products or services freely use, copy, disclose, licence, distribute and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any obligation, royalty or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. No Feedback will be considered Client’s Confidential Information, and nothing in this Licensing Schedule limits Etiq AI's right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products or services, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, any modifications or customisations made to the Etiq AI Technology and/or Software during the term of the Agreement shall automatically be retained and vest Etiq AI and Client shall not receive any rights in respect of such modifications or customisations.

10. Confidentiality. Except as otherwise set forth in this Licensing Schedule, each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how and business, technical and financial information disclosed to such party (“Receiving Party”) by the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any Etiq AI Technology and any performance information relating to the Software will be deemed Confidential Information of Etiq AI without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorised herein, the Receiving Party will (1) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (2) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Licensing Schedule. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know, provided that they are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 11 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by them with the terms of this Section 11. The Receiving Party's confidentiality obligations will not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information. The Receiving Party may also disclose Confidential Information if so required pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party will be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

We may modify the terms and conditions of this Licensing Schedule (including Etiq AI Policies) from time to time, with notice given to Client by email, through the Software or through our website. Together with notice, we will specify the effective date of the modifications.

Paid Licences:  Typically, when we make modifications to the main body of this Licensing Schedule (excluding the Etiq AI Policies), the modifications will take effect at the next renewal of Client’s Licence Term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless Client elect not to renew pursuant to Section 6.1 (Licence Term and Renewals).
