Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Aurasell will make available to Customer Aurasell’s software-as-a-service platform available at https://www.aurasell.ai/ (the “Aurasell Platform”), that provides the features and modules of the Aurasell Platform identified in the applicable Order (collectively, the “Services”).
Services
- Ordering Process; Agreement. Subscriptions to Services are purchased pursuant to one or more orders, which shall be in the same or substantially the same form as the Order attached as Exhibit A (the “Order”). Each Order will identify the Services to which Customer is subscribing, and, as applicable, the number of queries included in the Order, limitations around the structure or scope of data to be returned in response to queries, and the time period for which such Order applies.
- Access Grant. During the Term, subject to Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Customer may access and use the Services only for Customer’s internal business purposes in accordance with the Documentation, this Agreement, and any limitations set forth in the Order.

- Restrictions. Customer will not (and will not permit anyone else to), directly or indirectly, do any of the following: (a) provide access to, distribute, sell, or sublicense the Services, Documentation, or related processes, configurations, or technology provided by or on behalf of Aurasell (collectively, “Aurasell Technology”) to a third party (other than Users); (b) use the Aurasell Technology to develop a similar or competing product or service or to provide products or services to a third party; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or seek to access the source code or non-public APIs to the Aurasell Technology, except to the extent such a restriction is not permitted under applicable Law (and then only with prior notice to Aurasell); (d) modify or create derivative works of the Aurasell Technology or copy any element of the Aurasell Technology; (e) remove or obscure any proprietary notices in the Aurasell Technology; (f) publish benchmarks or performance information about the Aurasell Technology; (g) interfere with the operation of the Aurasell Technology, circumvent any access restrictions, or conduct any security or vulnerability test of the Aurasell Technology; (h) transmit any viruses or other harmful materials to the Aurasell Technology; (i) take any action that risks harm to others or to the security, availability, or integrity of the Aurasell Technology; or (j) access or use the Aurasell Technology in a manner that violates any applicable relevant local, state, federal or international laws, regulations and conventions, including those related to data privacy or data transfer, international communications, or export of data (“Law”).

Data
- Use of Customer Data. Customer hereby grants Aurasell a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-sublicensable (except to contractors and service providers), non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 18.1) right to Process, copy, display, modify, and create derivative works of any materials that Customer (including its Users) inputs or makes available to Aurasell, including through the Services (e.g., queries and prompts) or that is imported from a customer-controlled account on a Third-Party Platform (“Customer Data”) (a) to provide the Services and perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement; (b) to derive or generate Telemetry and Aggregated Data; (c) as agreed to in writing by the Parties; or (d) to comply with applicable Laws or court orders. “Telemetry” means data or information generated from use of the Services, such as technical logs, technical data, metrics, and learnings related to Customer’s and Users’ use of the Services, which information does not identify Customer or a particular User or other natural human person as the source thereof. Aurasell may use and exploit Telemetry without restriction.
- Aggregated Data. “Aggregated Data” means Customer Data that has been aggregated with other data such that the resulting data no longer reasonably identifies Customer. Vendor may Process Aggregated Data for internal business purposes, such as to: (a) track use of Services for billing purposes; (b) provide support for Services; (c) monitor the performance and stability of the Services; (d) prevent or address technical issues with the Services; (e) to improve Services, its other products and services, and to develop new products and services; and (f) for all other lawful business practices, such as analytics, benchmarking, and reports.
- Output. In connection with Customer’s (including its Users’) use of the Services, Aurasell may make available to Customer certain data, including data, reports, information, content, and other materials, including materials generated through the use of technologies that use or rely upon artificial intelligence, machine learning techniques, and other similar technology and features (collectively, “Output”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that Output is comprised of proprietary and third-party data, information, and content. Customer may use the Output made available to Customer solely for its internal business purposes, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and applicable Laws.
- Privacy and Security. Aurasell will implement and maintain, for as long as it Processes Customer Data pursuant to this Agreement, commercially reasonable security measures designed to protect Customer Data in its possession and control from and against unauthorized Processing, including those set forth in the document attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Security Requirements”), which document is incorporated herein by reference. To the extent applicable, the Parties will comply with their respective obligations as set forth in the Data Processing Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference.
Customer Obligations
Customer is responsible for its Customer Data, including its content and accuracy, and will comply with applicable Laws when collecting and providing any Customer Data and using the Services. Customer represents and warrants that it has made all disclosures, provided all notices, and has obtained all rights, consents, and permissions necessary for Aurasell to Process Customer Data and exercise the rights granted to it in this Agreement without violating or infringing Laws, third-party rights, or terms or policies that apply to the Customer Data. Customer will give Aurasell timely access to the personnel, technology, materials, and other resources in the possession or control of Customer (“Customer Materials”) reasonably required to perform implementation, design, configuration, or other professional services contemplated by an Order (“Technical Services”), and if Customer fails to do so, Aurasell’s obligation to provide Technical Services will be excused until access is provided.
Suspension of Service
Aurasell may immediately suspend Customer’s access to any or all of the Aurasell Technology if: (a) Customer breaches Section 2.5 (Restrictions) or Section 5 (Customer Obligations); (b) Customer’s account is 30 days or more overdue; (c) changes to Laws or new Laws require that Aurasell suspend the Aurasell Technology or otherwise may impose additional liability on the part of Aurasell; or (d) Customer’s actions risk harm to any of Aurasell’s other customers or the security, availability, or integrity of any of the Aurasell Technology. Where practicable, Aurasell will use reasonable efforts to provide Customer with prior notice of the suspension (email sufficing). If the issue that led to the suspension is resolved, Aurasell will restore Customer’s access to the applicable Aurasell Technology.
Third-Party Platforms
The Services may support integration with third-party platforms, add-ons, services, or products not provided by Aurasell (“Third-Party Platforms”). Use of any Third-Party Platforms integrated with or made available through the Services is subject to the terms provided by the provider of the Third-Party Platform and not this Agreement. Aurasell does not control and has no liability for Third-Party Platforms, including their security, functionality, operation, availability, or interoperability with the Aurasell Technology or how the Third-Party Platforms or their providers use Customer Data. By enabling a Third-Party Platform to interact with the Aurasell Technology, Customer authorizes Aurasell to access and exchange Customer Data with such Third-Party Platform on Customer’s behalf.
Fees and Taxes
- Fees. Customer will pay the fees for the Aurasell Technology set forth in each Order (“Fees”). All Fees will be paid in U.S. dollars unless otherwise provided in the Order. Fees are invoiced as described on the schedule in the Order. Unless the Order provides otherwise, all Fees are due within 30 days of the invoice date. Fees for Renewal Terms are at Aurasell’s then-current rates, regardless of any discounted pricing in a prior Order.

Warranties and Disclaimers
- Limited Warranty. Aurasell warrants to Customer that the Services will perform materially as described in its Documentation and Aurasell will not materially decrease the overall functionality of the Services (“Limited Warranty”) during the Term (“Warranty Period”).
- Warranty Remedy. If Aurasell breaches the Limited Warranty during the Warranty Period and Customer makes a reasonably detailed warranty claim in the manner required by Aurasell within 30 days of discovering a breach of the Limited Warranty, then Aurasell will use reasonable efforts to correct the non-conformity. If Aurasell cannot do so within 30 days of receipt of Customer’s warranty claim, either party may terminate the Agreement as it relates to the non-conforming Service. Aurasell will then refund to Customer any pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the Term. This Section sets forth Customer’s exclusive remedy and Aurasell’s entire liability for breach of the Limited Warranty. The Limited Warranty does not apply to: (a) issues caused by Customer’s or Users’ misuse of or unauthorized modifications to the applicable Service; (b) issues in or caused by Third-Party Platforms or other third-party systems; (c) use of the applicable Aurasell Technology other than according to the Documentation; or (d) Trials and Betas (as described in Section 16) or other free or evaluation use of the Aurasell Technology.
- Disclaimers. Except as expressly provided in Section 9.1 (Limited Warranty), the Aurasell Technology, Support, Technical Services, Output, and all other Aurasell services are provided “AS IS”. Aurasell, on its own behalf and on behalf of its suppliers and licensors, makes no other warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or noninfringement. Aurasell does not warrant that Customer’s use of the Aurasell Technology will be uninterrupted or error-free, that Aurasell will review Customer Data for accuracy, or that it will maintain Customer Data without loss. Aurasell is not liable for delays, failures, or problems inherent in use of the Internet and electronic communications or other systems outside Aurasell’s control.

- TCPA Compliance. Customer may be able to make phone calls or send text SMS messages, including marketing messages, to customers or prospective customers (“Outreach”) through an automatic telephone dialing system feature on the Service. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that all Outreach is conducted in compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) and all other applicable laws.
