Welcome, and thank you for being a part of aiXplain!

The following Terms of Use (the “Terms”), is a legally binding agreement between you (“you”, the “User”) and aiXplain Inc., a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at 3031 Tisch Way, Suite 80, San Jose, CA 95128, United States of America, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “aiXplain”, “Company”, “us”, “we”, “our”). These Terms governs your use of the aiXplain web applications, mobile applications, products, features, and any associated services (collectively, the “Service”) that we offer or provide, and that you access, use or purchase at https://aiXplain.com and its related sites and mobile applications (the “Site”, or the “Platform”), effective as of the date you accept these Terms (the “Effective Date”).

PLEASE NOTE: THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT APPLIES TO ALL USERS. If you reside in the United States, this provision applies to all disputes with COMPANY. If you reside outside of the United States, this provision applies to any action you bring against COMPANY in the United States. It affects how disputes with COMPANY are resolved. By accepting these Terms of Service, you agree to be bound by this arbitration clause and class action waiver. Please read it carefully.

1. Introduction

By creating an aiXplain account, using the Services, or agreeing to the Terms via signature or electronic consent, you hereby acknowledge that you have read and understood the Terms and agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept the Terms, you shall not access, browse or use the Site or the Services. Please read the Terms carefully before using the Services.

We may modify these Terms (including any Policies) at any time by posting a revised version via the Services or by otherwise notifying you in writing. The modified terms will become effective upon posting or, if we notify you by email, as stated in the email message. By continuing to use the Service after the effective date of any modifications to these Terms, you agree to be bound by the modified terms. It is your responsibility to check the Services regularly for modifications to these Terms. We last modified these Terms on the date listed at the start of these Terms. If you continue using the Services following the time of posting, that means you accept those changes. If any change to these Terms is not acceptable to you, your sole remedy is to cease accessing, browsing and otherwise using the Site and our Services.

2. User Accounts, Registration, and Teams

To access and use the Service, you must create an account by providing accurate and complete information. When creating an Account, you acknowledge that: (i) it is your responsibility to ensure that your password remains confidential and secure. You will be solely responsible and liable for any losses, damages, liability and expenses incurred by us or a third party, due to any unauthorized usage of the account by either you or any other User or third party on your behalf; (ii) undertake to promptly notify us in writing if you become aware of any unauthorized access or use of your Account and/or any breach of these Terms.

Upon registration, an aiXplain team (“Team”) is automatically created and is associated with your Account. aiXplain allows you to create Teams on the Site. By creating a Team, you become, either individually or on behalf of your employer or any entity, on behalf of whom you created the Team, an aiXplain User. The creator of a Team, personal or collaborative, is automatically assigned as the Team owner (“Owner”). aiXplain may permit you to register and create a Team through one or more of its mobile applications but is not required to do so.

For all Teams you are the Owner of, you: (i) agree to provide us with accurate, complete, and current information about yourself or the entity you created the Team on behalf of; (ii) agree that you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Team, including any integration or any other use of third party products or services (and associated disclosure of data) in connection with the Service.

You may assign administrators (“Admins”) to the teams you have created after account registration. The Admin(s) of Teams are, severally and jointly, deemed as the authorized representatives of the User, and any decision or action made by any Admin, is deemed as a decision or action of User. An Admin may assign or add other members of the Account as Admins, which possess important privileges and controls over the use of the Service and the Account, including, without limitation: (i) control your (and other Users) use of the Team; (ii) purchase, upgrade or downgrade the Service; (ii) create, monitor or modify Users’ actions and permissions; (iii) manage the access to, control, remove, share or otherwise change, all or part of the User data; and (iv) integrate or disable integration with Third Party Services. aiXplain may permit Admins to take any or all of the preceding actions through one or more of its mobile applications but is not required to do so.

“Credit” is a virtual token, with no cash value. “Credit” is the main form of transaction for the Services.

By purchasing Credits, you authorize aiXplain to initiate charges to your selected payment method for verification and purchases. When you purchase Credits, the balance appears in your aiXplain team’s balance that you added the Credits to. The required number of Credits to utilize third party computing models may change due a number of factors, including how the cost of such models varies. We may not be able to accurately display in advance the required number of credits to use particular Services due to the uncertainty of which models and third party components may be involved in any particular instance of a solution or use of the Services. Additionally, aiXplain may require you to pay a fee to access certain Services, including through its mobile applications. Any and all payments are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. All payments are securely processed by our subprocessors, and your use of Credits is subject to their applicable terms and privacy policy.

11. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if you (i) reside in the United States; or (ii) do not reside in the United States but bring any claim against Company in the United States.

Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. Company is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom this section applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with Company’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section). Specifically, the process provides:

  • Claims can be filed with AAA online (www.adr.org);
  • Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
  • Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
  • Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
  • The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;
  • The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;
  • The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Company each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact Company’s customer service team by emailing us at the contact addresses provided on the Site. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU AND COMPANY MUTUALLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT OR INTERPRETATION THEREOF, OR TO THE USE OF THE SITE, ANY COMPANY SERVICE OR THE COLLECTIVE CONTENT (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”) WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”). IF THERE IS A DISPUTE ABOUT WHETHER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAN BE ENFORCED OR APPLIES TO OUR DISPUTE, YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR WILL DECIDE THAT ISSUE.

Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and Company each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.

Modification to AAA Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. You agree that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted: (a) in Santa Clara County, California; (b) in any other location to which you and Company both agree; (c) via phone or video conference; or (d) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.

Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AND COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ALL ARBITRABLE DISPUTES.

NO CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS. YOU AND COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS USER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AS TO ALL DISPUTES. FURTHER, UNLESS YOU AND COMPANY BOTH OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF THIS PARAGRAPH IS HELD UNENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DISPUTE.

Severability. Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions regarding modification of these Terms in Section 1, if Company changes this Section (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Company in accordance with the provisions of the “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement” section as of the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

Survival. Except as otherwise provided in this section, this section will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Site or terminate your Company account.
