V7 Darwin License Agreement

The V7 Darwin License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered by and between V7 Ltd, (“V7) a company incorporated (registration number 11499928) having its registered office at 158 Buckingham Palace Road, SW1W 9TR London, UK and the entity or person agreeing to these terms (“Customer”).

This Agreement is effective as of the date Customer clicks to accept the Agreement (the “Effective Date”) or signs any signature fields present at the end of this Agreement. If you are accepting on behalf of Customer, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind Customer to this Agreement; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of Customer, to this Agreement. If you do not have the legal authority to bind Customer, please do not click to accept or sign. This Agreement governs Customer’s access to and use of the Service.

1. Provision of the Services.

1.1 Services Use. Subject to this Agreement, during the Term, Customer may: (a) use the Services, (b) integrate the Services into any Application that has material value independent of the Services,  (c) use any software or functionality provided by V7 as part of the Services, and (d) permit third parties to access its Team, including any associated Applications, Projects, and Customer Data. Customer may not sublicense or transfer these rights.

1.2 Platform. V7 will provide Services to Customer. As part of receiving the Services, Customer will have access to the Platform, through which Customer may administer the Services.

1.3 Facilities. All facilities used to store and process an Application and Customer Data will adhere to reasonable security standards no less protective than the security standards at facilities where V7 processes and stores its own information of a similar type. V7 has implemented industry standard systems and procedures to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of  an Application and Customer Data, (ii) protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of an Application and Customer Data, and (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of an Application and Customer Data.

1.4 Data Location. Customer may select where certain Customer Data will be stored (“Data Location Selection”), and V7 will store it there if in accordance with the Service Specific Terms. If a Data Location Selection is not covered by the Service Specific Terms or a Data Location Selection is not made by Customer with respect to any Customer Data, V7 may process and store the Customer Data anywhere V7 or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Services, Customer consents to this processing and storage of Customer Data. Under this Agreement, V7 is merely a data processor.

1.5 Accounts. Customer must have an Account and be part of one or more Teams, and may require a Token to use the Services, and is responsible for the information it provides to create the Account, the security of the Team and Token and its passwords for the Account, and for any use of its Account, Team, and Token. If Customer becomes aware of any unauthorized use of its password, its Account, Team, or Token, Customer will notify V7 as promptly as possible. V7 has no obligation to provide Customer multiple Accounts.

1.6 New Applications and Services. V7 may: (i) make new applications, tools, features or functionality available from time to time through the Services and (ii) add new services to the "Services" definition from time to time, the use of which may be contingent upon Customer's agreement to additional terms.

1.7 Modifications.

a. To the Services. V7 may make commercially reasonable updates to the Services from time to time. If V7 makes a material change to the Services, V7 may inform Customer, provided that Customer has subscribed with V7 to be informed about such change.

b. To the Agreement. V7 may make changes to this Agreement, including pricing (and any linked documents) from time to time. Unless otherwise noted by V7, material changes to the Agreement will be effective immediately. V7 will provide at least 30 days' advance notice for materially adverse changes to any SLAs or pricing by either: (i) sending an email to Customer's primary point of contact; (ii) posting a notice in the Platform notifications; or (iii) posting a notice to the applicable SLA webpage. If Customer does not agree to the revised Agreement, it must stop using the Services.

c. To the Data Processing and Security Terms. V7 may only change the Data Processing and Security Terms where such change is required to comply with applicable law, applicable regulation, court order, or guidance issued by a governmental regulator or agency, where such change is expressly permitted by the Data Processing and Security Terms, or where such change:

(i) is commercially reasonable;

(ii) does not result in a degradation of the overall security of the Services;

(iii) does not expand the scope of or remove any restrictions on V7’s processing of Customer Data, as described in Section 5.2 (Scope of Processing) of the Data Processing and Security Terms; and

(iv) does not otherwise have a material adverse impact on Customer's rights under the Data Processing and Security Terms.

If V7 makes a material change to the Data Processing and Security Terms in accordance with this Section, V7 will post the modification to the URL containing those terms and/or the Platform Documentation.

1.8 Service Specific Terms and Data Processing and Security Terms. The Service Specific Terms and Data Processing and Security Terms are incorporated by this reference into the Agreement.

2. Payment Terms.

2.1 Free Quota. Certain Services are provided to Customer without charge up to the Fee Threshold, as applicable.

2.2 Online Billing. At the end of the applicable Fee Accrual Period, V7 will issue an electronic bill to Customer by means of the Team Owner, for all charges accrued based on (i) Customer's use of the Services during the previous Fee Accrual Period (including, if any, the relevant Fee for TSS set forth in the Fees definition below); (ii) any Private Cloud options selected; (iii) any On Premise options selected; and/or (iv) any Package Purchases selected. Customer ensures that the Team Owner is responsible for Online Billing obligations and if Customer is a Team Owner itself, that it must follow these obligations or immediately transfer the Team Owner role to another Account able to do so. If any use is above the Fee Threshold, Customer will be responsible for all Fees up to the amount set in the Account and will pay all Fees in the currency set forth in the invoice. If Customer elects to pay by credit card, debit card, or other non-invoiced form of payment, V7 will charge (and Customer will pay) all Fees immediately at the end of the Fee Accrual Period. If Customer elects to pay by invoice (and V7 agrees), all Fees are due as set forth in the invoice. Customer's obligation to pay all Fees is non-cancellable. V7’s measurement of Customer's use of the Services is final. V7 has no obligation to provide multiple bills. Payments made via wire transfer must include the bank information provided by V7.

2.3 Taxes. (a) Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and Customer will pay V7 for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If V7 is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer, unless Customer provides V7 with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. In some regions the sales tax is due on the total purchase price at the time of sale and must be invoiced and collected at the time of the sale. If Customer is required by law to withhold any Taxes from its payments to V7, Customer must provide V7 with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such withholding. If under the applicable tax legislation the Services are subject to local VAT and the Customer is required to make a withholding of local VAT from amounts payable to V7, the value of Services calculated in accordance with the above procedure will be increased (grossed up) by the Customer for the respective amount of local VAT and the grossed up amount will be regarded as a VAT inclusive price. Local VAT amount withheld from the VAT-inclusive price will be remitted to the applicable local tax entity by the Customer and Customer will ensure that V7 will receive payment for its services for the net amount as would otherwise be due (the VAT inclusive price less the local VAT withheld and remitted to applicable tax authority).

(b) If required under applicable law, Customer will provide V7 with applicable tax identification information that V7 may require to ensure its compliance with applicable tax regulations and authorities in applicable jurisdictions. Customer will be liable to pay (or reimburse V7 for) any taxes, interest, penalties or fines arising out of any mis-declaration by the Customer.

2.4 Invoice Disputes & Refunds. Any invoice disputes must be submitted prior to the payment due date. If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to V7, V7 will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If the disputed invoice has not yet been paid, V7 will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer waives all claims relating to Fees unless claimed within sixty days after charged (this does not affect any Customer rights with its credit card issuer). Refunds (if any) are at the discretion of V7 and will only be in the form of credit for the Services. Nothing in this Agreement obligates V7 to extend credit to any party.

2.5 Delinquent Payments; Suspension. Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by V7 in collecting such delinquent amounts. If Customer is late on payment for the Services, V7 may Suspend the Services or terminate the Agreement for breach pursuant to Section 9.2.

2.6 No Purchase Order Number Required. For clarity, Customer is obligated to pay all applicable Fees without any requirement for V7 to provide a purchase order number on V7’s invoice (or otherwise).

3. Customer Obligations.

3.1 Compliance. Customer is solely responsible for its Applications, Projects, and Customer Data and for making sure its Applications, Projects, and Customer Data comply with the AUP. V7 reserves the right to review the Application, Project, and Customer Data for compliance with the AUP at reasonable times. Customer is responsible for ensuring all Customer End Users comply with Customer's obligations under the AUP, the Service Specific Terms, and the restrictions in Sections 3.3 and 3.5 below.

3.2 Privacy. Customer will obtain and maintain any required consents necessary to permit the processing of Customer Data under this Agreement.

3.3 Restrictions. Customer will not, and will not allow third parties under its control to: (a) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile, translate, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to extract any or all of the source code of the Services (subject to Section 3.4 below and except to the extent such restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law); (b) hold V7 responsible in any way for use of the Services for High Risk Activities; (c) sublicense, resell, or distribute any or all of the Services separate from any integrated Application; (d) create multiple Teams, Applications, Accounts, or Datasets to simulate or act as a single Application, Account, Team, or Dataset (respectively) or otherwise access the Services in a manner intended to avoid incurring Fees or exceed usage limits or quotas; (e) integrate the Annotation and Dataset services within a data and application marketplace which encompasses selling data products related to life science, healthcare, medical, and materials science scientific research through a transactional software-based marketplace; (f) develop Models or Applications used in the interior of: domestic ovens (with or without microwave), steam cookers (with or without microwave), oven/steam cooker combinations and microwave ovens (for domestic use); or (g) process or store any Customer Data, Models, or Applications that undermine the European Union’s Arm Export Control or Arms Trade Treaties.

3.4 Third Party Components. Third party components (which may include open source software) of the Services may be subject to separate license agreements. To the limited extent a third party license expressly supersedes this Agreement, that third party license governs Customer's use of that third party component.

3.5 Documentation. V7 may provide Documentation for Customer's use of the Services. The Documentation may specify restrictions on how the Applications may be built or the Services may be used and Customer will comply with any such restrictions specified.

3.6 Copyright Policy. Customer will not, and will not allow third parties under its control to use any Service to store, copy, or reproduce copyrighted material. V7 may determine whether copyrighted material is being used legally or not through the  input and cooperation of the copyright holder. V7 responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement and terminates accounts of repeat infringers according to applicable copyright laws. If Customer thinks somebody is violating Customer's or Customer End Users' copyrights on the Platform and wants to notify V7, Customer can submit a notice by contacting support@v7labs.com.

4. Suspension.

4.1 AUP Violations. If V7 becomes aware that Customer's or any Customer End User's use of the Services violates the AUP, V7 will give Customer notice of the violation by requesting that Customer correct the violation. If Customer fails to correct the violation within 24 hours of V7’s request, then V7 may Suspend all or part of Customer's use of the Services until the violation is corrected.

4.2 Other Suspension. Notwithstanding Section 4.1 (AUP Violations) V7 may immediately Suspend all or part of Customer's use of the Services if: (a) V7 believes Customer's or any Customer End User's use of the Services could adversely impact the Services, other customers' or their end users' use of the Services, or the V7 and agent network or servers used to provide the Services without V7’s prior written approval; (b) there is suspected unauthorized third-party access to the Services; (c) V7 believes it is required to Suspend immediately to comply with applicable law; or (d) Customer is in breach of Section 3.3 (Restrictions). V7 will lift any such Suspension when the circumstances giving rise to the Suspension have been resolved. At Customer's request, unless prohibited by applicable law, V7 will notify Customer of the basis for the Suspension as soon as is reasonably possible.

5. Intellectual Property Rights and Use of Customer Data.

5.1 Intellectual Property Rights. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement does not grant either party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other party's content or any of the other party's intellectual property. As between the parties, Customer owns all Intellectual Property Rights in Customer Data, and V7 owns all Intellectual Property Rights in the Services and Platform.

5.2 Use of Customer Data. V7 will not access or use Customer Data, except as necessary to provide the Services and TSS to Customer.

5.3 Customer Feedback. If Customer provides V7 Feedback about the Services, then V7 may use that information without obligation to Customer.

6. Technical Support Services.

6.1 By Customer. Customer is responsible for technical support of its Datasets, Models, Applications, or any other Services.

6.2 By V7. Subject to payment of applicable support Fees, V7 will provide TSS to Customer during the Term in accordance with the Platform Fees Document and applicable guidelines. Certain TSS levels include a minimum recurring Fee as described in the "Fees" definition below. If Customer downgrades its TSS level during any calendar month, V7 may continue to provide TSS at the same level and TSS Fees before the downgrade for the remainder of that month.

7. Deprecation of Services.

7.1 Discontinuance of Services. Subject to Section 7.2, V7 may discontinue any Services or any portion or feature for any reason at any time without liability to Customer.

7.2 Deprecation Policy. V7 will announce if it intends to discontinue or make backwards incompatible changes to the Services specified in Documentation. V7 will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate those Services versions and features for 30 days, unless (as V7 determines in its reasonable good faith judgment):

(i) required by law or third party relationship (including if there is a change in applicable law or relationship), or

(ii) doing so could create a security risk or substantial economic or material technical burden.

The above policy is the "Deprecation Policy."

8. Confidential Information.

8.1 Obligations. The recipient will not disclose the Confidential Information, except to Affiliates, employees, agents or professional advisors who need to know it and who have agreed in writing (or in the case of professional advisors are otherwise bound) to keep it confidential. The recipient will ensure that those people and entities use the received Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under this Agreement, while using reasonable care to keep it confidential.

V7 may include Customer's name or Brand Features in a list of V7’s customers, online or in promotional materials unless agreed otherwise in writing. V7 may also verbally reference Customer as a customer of the Services. Neither party needs approval if it is repeating a public statement that is substantially similar to a previously-approved public statement.
