Customer further acknowledges and agrees that the Services include features that are designed to integrate across multiple cloud-computing and cloud-storage providers utilized by Customer, and Cast AI may therefore incur charges on Customer’s behalf with such cloud-computing and cloud-storage providers.

  6. CONFIDENTIALITY AND DATA PROTECTION
    1. Confidential Information. Each party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time during the Term disclose to or learn from the other party (the “Receiving Party”) certain information regarding the Disclosing Party’s business, including without limitation, technical, marketing, financial, employee, planning, and other confidential or proprietary information whether disclosed orally, in writing or visually, that is either marked or designated as confidential or is identified in writing as confidential at the time of disclosure or which the Receiving Party knew or should have known, under the circumstances, was considered confidential or proprietary by the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Services and the Cast AI Technology constitutes Confidential Information of Cast AI, and Customer Inputs constitute the Confidential Information of Customer.
    2. Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement, and will disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to the employees and contractors of the Receiving Party who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than the Receiving Party’s duty hereunder. The Receiving Party will (a) protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the Receiving Party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care; and (b) promptly advise the Disclosing Party upon becoming aware of any loss, disclosure, or duplication of the Confidential Information or of any breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the misappropriation of the Confidential Information. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the Disclosing Party may be irreparably harmed by any violation of this Section 6 (Confidentiality and Data Protection) and that the use of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than that stated herein may, among other things, enable the Receiving Party or other third parties receiving such Confidential Information to compete unfairly with the Disclosing Party. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, to seek (i) an injunction restraining such breach; or (ii) a decree for specific performance of the applicable provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the obligations of the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party shall be in full force and effect as follows: (A) in the case of any information or materials that constitute a trade secret within the meaning of applicable law, for as long as such information and materials remain as a trade secret, or (B) in the case of any other information or materials, during the Term and for five (5) years following the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
    3. Exceptions. The Receiving Party’s obligations under this subsection will not apply to any portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information if the Receiving Party can document that such information: (a) was already lawfully known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party who had the right to make such disclosure without any confidentiality restrictions; (c) is, or through no fault of the Receiving Party has become, generally available to the public; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. In addition, the Receiving Party will be allowed to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent that such disclosure is (i) approved in writing by the Disclosing Party, (ii) necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement in connection with a legal proceeding; or (iii) required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that the Receiving Party, as permitted by applicable law, rules and regulations, notifies the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure in writing promptly, and cooperates with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s reasonable request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure.
    4. Destruction of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will destroy or permanently erase, as appropriate, all physical and electronic copies of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the Receiving Party’s possession or control promptly upon the written request of the Disclosing Party or the expiration or termination of this Agreement, whichever comes first; provided that any electronic copies stored in connection with the Receiving Party’s back-up and recovery operations conducted in the ordinary course of business may be retained and will continue to be subject to the terms herein. At the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party will certify in writing that it has fully complied with its obligations under this subsection.
    5. Confidentiality of Agreement. Neither party will disclose any terms of any Order Form, or any amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement, to anyone other than its attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors under a duty of confidentiality except (a) as required by law; (b) pursuant to a mutually agreeable press release; (c) in connection with a proposed merger, financing, or sale of such party’s business (provided that any third party to whom the terms of this Agreement are to be disclosed signs a confidentiality agreement, or is otherwise subject to confidentiality obligations, in each case no less strict than those set forth in this Agreement); or (d) as provided in Subsection 3.6.
    6. Data Protection. If and to the extent the Customer Inputs include any Personal Data, Cast AI and Customer shall comply with their respective obligations outlined in the Customer Data Processing Addendum set forth at https://cast.ai/customer-data-processing/ (the “DPA”). For the purposes of this Subsection 6.6, the terms “Processes” and “Personal Data” shall have the meanings assigned in the DPA. Any Personal Data that constitutes Confidential Information shall be subject to the terms of the DPA.
    7. No Protected Health Information. Customer shall not provide, transmit, disclose, or otherwise make available to Cast AI any “Protected Health Information” as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). Customer agrees that CAST AI is not a “Business Associate” or “Subcontractor” under HIPAA, and Customer shall not use the Services in any manner that would require Cast AI or the Services to comply with HIPAA, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act, their enabling regulations, or similar state laws or regulations. If Customer transmits or otherwise makes any Protected Health Information available to Cast AI through the Services or otherwise, Customer will reimburse Cast AI for any costs that Cast AI incurs to extract, delete, remove, and otherwise remediate such information and disclosure. As used in this paragraph, the terms “Business Associate,” “Protected Health Information,” and “Subcontractor” shall have the meanings ascribed to them under HIPAA, the HITECH Act, and their enabling regulations.
  7. WARRANTIES. THE SERVICES WILL MATERIALLY CONFORM TO THE DOCUMENTATION. IF CUSTOMER BELIEVES THE SERVICES DO NOT MATERIALLY CONFORM TO THE DOCUMENTATION, CUSTOMER MUST PROVIDE CAST AI NOTICE OF SUCH NONCONFORMITY WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE FIRST INSTANCE OF SUCH NONCONFORMITY. CAST AI WILL HAVE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER RECEIVING SUCH NOTICE TO CORRECT SUCH NONCONFORMITY IF CAST AI, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, DETERMINES THAT SUCH NONCONFORMITY EXISTS. IF CAST AI DETERMINES THAT SUCH NONCONFORMITY EXISTS BUT IS UNABLE TO CORRECT SUCH NONCONFORMITY WITHIN SUCH THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD, CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY WILL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT, AND CAST AI WILL PROVIDE A REFUND TO CUSTOMER ON A PRO RATA BASIS OF ANY PREPAID FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM. THE FOREGOING REPRESENTS CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN THE EVENT THE SERVICES DO NOT MATERIALLY CONFORM TO THE DOCUMENTATION. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 7, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE”, AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND CAST AI HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE SAME. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, CAST AI NEITHER WARRANTS THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED IN AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE MANNER, NOR DOES CAST AI MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICES OR AS TO THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY CONTENT CONTAINED IN OR PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES. USE OF ANY MATERIAL OR DATA OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES SHALL BE AT CUSTOMER’S OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND CUSTOMER WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO CUSTOMER’S (OR ANY OTHER USER’S) COMPUTER SYSTEM, MOBILE DEVICE, OR DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL OR DATA. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY CAST AI, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WILL CREATE A WARRANTY. ANY USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT CUSTOMER’S OWN RISK. CAST AI shall not be responsible for ensuring and does not represent or warrant that: (i) the Services will meet Customer’s requirements; or (ii) all deficiencies in the Services can be found or corrected. Cast AI will not be responsible for any loss or corruption of data.
  8. INDEMNIFICATION.
    1. CUSTOMER INDEMNIFICATION. CUSTOMER AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS CAST AI, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTRACTORS, CLIENTS, SUPPLIERS, RESELLERS, AND LICENSORS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL COSTS, FEES, LOSSES, CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) WHICH THEY MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH (A) CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RULES OR GUIDELINES PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER BY CAST AI, OR (B) CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICES.

    4. Customer acknowledges that any and all claims or damages that Customer may have against Cast AI shall only be enforceable against Cast AI and not other entities, its officers, directors, representatives or agents.
  10. TERM AND TERMINATION.
    1. Term. The initial term of each Order Form shall commence on the effective date of such Order Form and shall continue for (i) a period of one (1) year thereafter, or (ii) if a different term is provided in such Order Form, such different term. Each Order Form shall renew automatically for additional one (1) year periods (or, if different, the renewal term provided in the Order Form) unless a party provides the other party with written notice of its intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term, in which case the Order Form shall expire on the last day of the then-current term. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties in writing, this Agreement shall expire upon expiration and/or termination of all Order Forms. The initial term, together with each renewal term, is referred to herein as the “Term.” 
    2. Termination. In the event a party breaches this Agreement (such party, the “Breaching Party”), this Agreement and any relevant Order Form may be terminated by the other party (the “Non-breaching Party”) effective immediately upon written notice containing an explanation of the alleged breach if the Breaching Party does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after receiving such written notice thereof from the Non-breaching Party; provided, however, that if such breach is not capable of being cured, this Agreement and any relevant Order Form shall terminate immediately upon the Breaching Party receiving notice of such breach from the Non-breaching Party. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if and to the extent Customer is using Free Services, Cast AI may terminate this Agreement, and Customer’s use of such Free Services, at any time and for any reason (or no reason), with or without prior notice. 
    3. Termination Upon Bankruptcy or Insolvency. Either party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other, in the event (a) that the other party becomes insolvent or unable to pay its debts when due; (b) the other party files a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, or, if filed against the other party, such petition is not removed within ninety (90) days after such filing; (c) the other party discontinues its business; or (d) a receiver is appointed or there is an assignment for the benefit of the other party’s creditors. 
    4. Suspension of Services. Cast AI may cancel or suspend all Users’ access to the Services if: (a) a reasonable threat to the technical security or technical integrity of the Services exists, provided that Cast AI promptly recommences performance upon the cessation of the threat; (b) Cast AI believes that Customer has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant in this Agreement; or (c) any amount due under any then-effective Order Form is not received by Cast AI within thirty (30) days after it was due.
    5. Outstanding Fees. Termination shall not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees accrued or payable to Cast AI prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination by Customer pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3, promptly after the effective date of such termination, Cast AI shall refund to Customer on a pro-rata basis any prepaid fees paid by Customer for the remainder of the then current subscription term under the terminated Order Forms. In the event of termination by Cast AI pursuant to Section 10.2, 10.3, or 10.4, all amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement and all Order Forms will become immediately due and payable.
    6. Rights and Obligations Upon Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Customer’s and its Users’ right to access and use the Services will immediately terminate, Customer and its Users will immediately cease all use of the Services, and each party will destroy and make no further use of any Confidential Information, materials, or other items (and all copies thereof) belonging to the other party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer’s right to use the Services under a particular Order Form is based upon the terms and conditions of that Order Form in addition to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service. Accordingly, upon the expiration or termination of an Order Form, Customer’s right to use the Services under that Order Form will also terminate.
    7. Survival. Sections 1, 3.5, 3.7(b), 3.8, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and, to the extent provided therein, the DPA, shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
  11. RESELLER ORDERS.
    1. Reseller Orders. If Customer orders the Services from an authorized non-affiliated third-party reseller (“Reseller”), then this Section 11 (Reseller Orders) will apply and prevail over any conflicting terms in this Agreement.
    2. Reseller Payments. The fees for the Services will be set between Customer and Reseller. Customer will make payments of fees directly to Reseller under its agreement with Reseller (“Reseller Agreement”).
    3. Reseller as Administrator. At Customer’s discretion, Reseller may have access to Customer’s account, Access Credentials, and Customer Inputs. As between Cast AI and Customer, Customer is solely responsible for: (a) any access by Reseller to Customer’s account, Access Credentials, or Customer Inputs, (b) defining in the Reseller Agreement any rights or obligations as between Reseller and Customer with respect to the Services.
    4. Reseller Technical Support. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Reseller will be responsible for providing First-Level Support (as defined below) for the Services. Reseller may disclose Customer Inputs and Customer Confidential Information to Cast AI as reasonably required in order for Reseller to handle any support issues that Customer escalates to or via Reseller. As used herein, the term “First-Level Support” means the identification, diagnosis, and correction of user issues or problems with the Services by the provision of the following support services by help-desk technicians, prior to the elevation of such support to any Cast AI personnel: (a) telephone, email, and/or chat assistance; and (b) access to technical information on the Cast AI website for proper use of the Services. 
    5. Disclosure of Confidential Information to Reseller. Cast AI may share Customer Confidential Information and Customer Inputs with Reseller as reasonably necessary to provide and support the Services. Customer hereby authorizes such sharing pursuant to Section 6 (Confidentiality). 
  12. GENERAL.
    1. Governing Law; Arbitration.
      1. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without reference to conflicts of laws provisions and, as to matters affecting copyrights, trademarks and patents, by U.S. federal law. Any dispute or claim arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Miami, Florida, in accordance with the then-current rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association by one (1) arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall apply the law of the State of Delaware, without reference to rules of conflict of law or statutory rules of arbitration, to the merits of any dispute or claim. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed, reduced to judgment and entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Customer agrees that, any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator shall have the authority to award the prevailing party its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The foregoing agreement to arbitration includes all claims of any type, including all common law and/or statutory claims under local, state, or federal law. In the event that the above arbitration provision is held invalid or unenforceable, then any dispute with respect to this Agreement shall be brought and heard either in the Florida state courts located in Miami, Florida, or the federal district court located in Miami, Florida. In such event, Customer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the in personam jurisdiction and venue of such courts. Customer agrees that service of process upon Customer in any such action may be made if delivered in person, by courier service, by email, by telefacsimile or by first class mail, and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt; provided, that with respect to notice sent by email, notice shall be deemed effectively given upon Cast AI’s sending of such notice, if such email is not returned to sender or notice is not otherwise returned to Cast AI that the email is undeliverable.
      2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if either party seeks preliminary injunctive relief to protect its rights, then such party will have the power, without waiving this arbitration agreement, to invoke the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction for the exclusive purpose of obtaining such preliminary injunctive relief, and for such purpose each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of, and the laying of venue in, the state and federal courts sitting in each of Miami, Florida. Each party hereby waives and agrees not to assert, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim that (i) such party is not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) venue in such courts is improper, (iii) any proceeding allowed by this paragraph commenced in such courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, and (iv) that any action by a party to seek preliminary injunctive relief in such courts is a waiver of such party’s right to enforce this arbitration agreement.
      3. BY ENTERING INTO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER AND CAST AI AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. All other claims will be arbitrated.
    2. Export; Anti-Corruption. Each party shall comply with the export laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions in providing and using the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government list of persons or entities prohibited from receiving exports, and (ii) Customer shall not permit its Users to access or use Services in violation of any U.S. export embargo, prohibition or restriction. Customer represents that it has not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any of Cast AI’s employees or agents in connection with this Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If Customer learns of any violation of the above restriction, Customer will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Cast AI.
    3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
    4. Waiver; Remedies. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. Other than as expressly stated herein, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a party at law or in equity.
    5. Entire Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement, including all Order Forms and together with the Service Level Agreement, schedules, annexes, and documents referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties as to its subject matter, and supersede all previous and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. No representation, undertaking or promise shall be taken to have been given or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations between the parties prior to this Agreement except as expressly stated in this Agreement. Except as provided in this Agreement, no modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (including any Order Form) shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties (which may include electronic signatures and/or acceptance of such amendments or waivers via a “click-through” or other similar form of electronic acceptance as provided in herein). Customer acknowledges and agrees that its agreement hereunder is not contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features not specified herein or in an Order Form or dependent upon any oral or written, public or private comments made by Cast AI with respect to future functionality or features for the Services. In the event of any conflict between the provisions in these Terms of Service and any Order Form, the terms of such Order Form shall prevail. No terms or conditions stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer order documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void.
    6. No Assignment. Neither party will assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or change of control, including without limitation a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, stock or business to which this Agreement relates. The terms of this Agreement will be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
    7. Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a civil disturbance, war, terrorist attack, embargo, government action or restriction, act of God, sabotage, fluctuation or non-availability of electrical power, labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, pandemic, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible. If an event of force majeure prevents Cast AI from providing the Services for thirty (30) days, Customer may cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of pre-paid fees paid for that period of time for which services are not provided.
    8. Independent Contractors. Cast AI’s relationship to Customer is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. Neither party will have, and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of the other.
    9. Notices. All notices provided by Cast AI to Customer under this Agreement may be delivered in writing (a) by electronic mail to the electronic mail address provided by Customer when signing up for the Services; or (b) delivered by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or by nationally recognized overnight courier service.
