These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and Sonnet AI regarding your use of the Service. As used herein, “you” or “your” means any entity, university, organization, or company accessing or using the Service (“Organization”) as well as any individual end user accessing and using the Service, as applicable and hereby agreeing to these Terms.

Sonnet AI reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Sonnet AI will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. Sonnet AI may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if Sonnet AI gives you advance notice of changes before they apply.

At its discretion, Sonnet AI may allow an organization to purchase the Service by issuing an invoice for payment that must be settled within 30 days of issuance.

4.3 Subscription Service.

a. General. The Service may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”).

The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. For more information on the “Subscription Fee,” please see https://sonnetai.com/pricing. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date all applicable fees and taxes for the next subscription period, which may be one month or one year depending on the selection you make on your account (such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”). The term of each Subscription Service will automatically renew for a period equal to the Initial Subscription Period or one (1) year periods, whichever is less, unless otherwise identified in an applicable Order Form (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless a party provides the other party written notice thirty (30) days in advance of the expiry of the Subscription Service or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, of its desire to amend the duration of the Renewal Term, modify the number of Users or terminate the Order Form.

Sonnet AI will take reasonable means to preserve the privacy and security of such data, but Sonnet AI is not liable for any loss or harm resulting from user use of AI or similar technologies. By utilizing Sonnet AI services, the user understands and accepts the risks involved with the use of AI or similar technologies and agrees to indemnify and hold Sonnet AI harmless for any claims, damages, or losses resulting from such usage.

8. Termination and Suspension

You may cancel and delete your Account at any time by either using the features on the Services to do so (if applicable and available) or by written notice to [email protected]. After cancellation, your profile will be purged, and you will no longer have access to your Account, your profile, or any other information through the Services. The provisions of these Terms of Service which by their intent or meaning intended to survive such termination, including without limitation the provisions relating to disclaimer of warranties, limitations of liability, and indemnification, shall survive any termination of these Terms of Service and any termination of your use of or subscription to the Services and shall continue to apply indefinitely.

At any time and for any reason, we have the right to deny access to the Services to anybody. If Sonnet AI is investigating you or believes you have violated any of the terms of this Agreement, we may prevent you from accessing the Services or restrict how much of them you can use. We will inform you in writing or by email. This notice of termination or limitation shall be effective immediately. You cannot register for and create a new Account in the name of a third party, a fake or borrowed name, or your own identity if Sonnet AI terminates or restricts your ability to use the Services due to this section, even if you are acting on their behalf. Even after your right to use the Services is terminated or limited, this Agreement will remain enforceable against you. Sonnet AI reserves the right to take appropriate legal action, including but not limited to pursuing arbitration in accordance with Section 19 of these Terms of Service.

Sonnet AI reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any portion of the Services at its sole discretion. Sonnet AI is not liable to you for any modification or discontinuance of all or any portion of the Services. Sonnet AI has the right to restrict anyone from completing registration as a user if Sonnet AI believes such a person may threaten the safety and integrity of the Services, or if, in Sonnet AI’s discretion, such restriction is necessary to address any other reasonable business concern. Following the termination or cancellation of your Account (as defined below), we reserve the right to delete all your data, including any User Content, in the normal course of operation. Your data cannot be recovered once your Account is terminated or canceled.

9. Links to Third-Party Websites

From time to time, the app may have links to sites outside of it. These sites may have links to offers and promotions from third parties. We put these in so that you can find information, products, or services that you might find helpful or interesting. We are not responsible for what is on these sites or what they offer, and we can not promise that they will always be up and running. Just because we have links to these other sites does not mean that we support or work with the people who run or promote them. The terms and conditions of use and privacy policies for any website controlled, owned, or run by a third party tell you how to use that website. You use these websites run by other people at your own risk. Sonnet AI makes it clear that it is not responsible for anything that happens because you use or look at websites or other content linked from the Services. You agree to not hold Sonnet AI responsible for anything that might happen if you click on a link on the Services.

As part of the way the Services work, you can link your Account with online accounts you may have with third-party service providers (each such account, a Third-Party Account) by either: (i) providing your Third-Party Account login information through the Services; or (ii) allowing Sonnet AI to access your Third-Party Account, as permitted by the terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You promise that you have the right to give Sonnet AI your Third-Party Account login information and/or give Sonnet AI access to your Third-Party Account, without breaking any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without requiring Sonnet AI to pay any fees or making Sonnet AI subject to any usage limits set by such third-party service providers. By giving Sonnet AI access to any Third-Party Accounts, you agree to the following: (1) Sonnet AI may access, make available, and store (if applicable) any content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (SNS Content) so that it is available on and through the Services via your Account, including, but not limited to, any friend lists; and (2) Sonnet AI may send and receive additional information to your Third-Party Account to the extent you are no longer the account holder. Unless these Terms of Service say something different, all SNS content, if any, is considered to be User Content. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and the privacy settings you have made in those Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your Account on the Services. Please note that SNS Content may no longer be available on and through the Services if a Third-Party Account or an associated service becomes unavailable or if Sonnet AI access to a Third-Party Account is cut off by the third-party service provider. As explained below, you will be able to turn off the link between your Account on the Services and your Third-Party Accounts at any time.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

WE DO NOT GIVE YOU ANY KIND OF WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE SONNET AI SERVICES WE GIVE YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THIS INCLUDES ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE DO NOT AND CANNOT PROMISE THAT SONNET AI SERVICES WILL WORK WITHOUT PROBLEMS OR THAT SOME OR ALL OF THEM WILL BE UP AND RUNNING ALL THE TIME. YOU AGREE THAT OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR CONTRACTORS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATED TO OR CAUSED BY ANY SONNET AI SERVICES AND PRODUCTS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR BY YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO SONNET AI, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.

14. Indemnification

You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sonnet AI and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, insurers, successors and assigns (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Liabilities incurred in connection with (i) your use or inability to use the Services, or (ii) your breach or violation of this Agreement; (iii) your violation of any law, or the rights of any user or third party and (iv) any content submitted by you or using your Account to the Services, including, but not limited to the extent such content may infringe on the intellectual rights of a third party or otherwise be illegal or unlawful.

15. Dispute Resolution – Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND SONNET AI CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND SONNET AI TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. You agree that, in the event any dispute or claim arises out of or relating to your use of the Services, you will contact us at [email protected] and you and Sonnet AI will attempt in good faith to negotiate a written resolution of the matter directly. You agree that if the matter remains unresolved for 30 days after notification (via certified mail or personal delivery), such matter will be deemed a “Dispute” as defined below. Except for the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief described under the “Binding Arbitration” section below, should you file any arbitration claims, or any administrative or legal actions without first having attempted to resolve the matter by mediation, then you agree that you will not be entitled to recover attorneys fees, even if you may have been entitled to them otherwise.

Binding Arbitration.

You and Sonnet AI agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or to your use of the Services (collectively “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. This means that you and Sonnet AI both agree to waive the right to a trial by jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring a claim against Sonnet AI in “small claims” court, instead of by arbitration, but only if the claim is eligible under the rules of the small claims court and is brought in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis, and only for so long as it remains in the small claims court and in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis.

Class Action Waiver.

You and Sonnet AI agree that any proceedings to resolve Disputes will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that you and Sonnet AI both agree to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action proceeding. Further, unless you and Sonnet AI agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator in any Dispute may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class action proceeding.

Arbitration Administration and Rules.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution’ section. (The AAA Rules are available at http://www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879).

Arbitration Process.

A party who desires to initiate the arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators with relevant experience. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure.

Unless you and Sonnet AI agree otherwise, the seat of the arbitration shall be in San Francisco, California. If your claim does not exceed USD$10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Sonnet AI submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing and the arbitrator then determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds USD$10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by AAA Rules. Subject to AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. Hearings may be conducted by telephone or video conference, if requested and agreed to by the parties.

Arbitrator’s Decision and Governing Law.

The arbitrator shall apply California law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will render an award within the timeframe specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award of damages by an arbitrator must be consistent with the “Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability” section above. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the claimant only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

Fees.

Each party’s responsibility to pay the arbitration filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will depend on the circumstances of the arbitration and are set forth in the AAA Rules.

16. Governing Law

Except as provided in Section 15 or expressly provided in writing otherwise, this Agreement and your use of the Services will be governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the State of California, without regard to choice of law principles. This choice of law provision is only intended to specify the use of California law to interpret this Agreement.

17. No Agency; No Employment
