NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS, OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU WITH RESPECT OF ANY EVALUATION OFFERINGS WILL NOT EXCEED $100 USD.

4. Fees and Payment

4.1 Fees. You will pay Edge Impulse the fees set forth in the relevant Order in accordance with the terms therein (“Fees”) and without offset or deduction. Fees may include, without limitation, subscription fees for the Paid Services and any overage fees incurred if you exceed the usage capacity of your product plan. Except as otherwise specified in an Order, payment obligations are non-cancelable and Fees paid are non-refundable. Edge Impulse reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges for the Paid Services in its sole discretion with or without prior notice, which modified Fees will take effect upon the next Renewal Term unless you cancel your subscription to the Paid Services in accordance with Section 13 below.

4.2 Payments. All Fees will be paid in U.S. dollars through the payment method designated by Edge Impulse. If you are paying Fees using a credit card or any digital payment method supported by Edge Impulse, you authorize Edge Impulse to charge your account for the Paid Services using that payment method. You must keep all information in its billing account current to ensure that all Fees are charged to the appropriate account and are timely paid. If you notify Edge Impulse to stop using a previously designated payment method and fails to designate an alternative, or if your payment method is declined, Edge Impulse may immediately suspend use and access to the Paid Services. Any notice from you changing your billing account will not affect charges Edge Impulse submits to your billing account before Edge Impulse reasonably can act on your request. Edge Impulse may use a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing. Notice (including email) from Edge Impulse’s third-party credit card processor declining your credit card or otherwise relating to your account will be deemed valid notice from Edge Impulse. If you fail to make any payment when due, late charges will accrue at the rate of 1.5% per month or, if lower, the highest rate permitted by applicable law and Edge Impulse may suspend the Paid Services until all payments are made in full. You will reimburse Edge Impulse for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any late payments or interest.

4.3 Taxes. You are responsible for all sales, use, ad valorem and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any national, multinational or local governmental regulatory authority on any amount payable by you to Edge Impulse hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Edge Impulse’s income. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that you are required to deduct or withhold any taxes from the amounts payable to Edge Impulse hereunder, you will pay an additional amount, so that Edge Impulse receives the amounts due to it hereunder in full, as if there were no withholding or deduction.

13. Term; Termination; Modification

13.1 Term. These Terms commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier, will continue until terminated (“Term”). If you are entering into the Terms on behalf of a company, business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to contractually bind such entity to these Terms. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY TO CONTRACTUALLY BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THESE TERMS, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

13.2 Renewals; Cancellation.

(a) Paid Services. The applicable subscription term for Paid Services is identified in the applicable Order (“Subscription Term”). Subscription Term lengths are either month-to-month, annual (12-month) increments or other duration as determined by Edge Impulse. The Paid Services will automatically renew for successive terms equal in duration to the previous Subscription Term (each a “Renewal Term”). Edge Impulse may automatically charge your existing payment the applicable Fees in accordance with Section 4 above.

(b) Cancellation. You may request to cancel your subscription to the Professional Plan Services, downgrade or upgrade to a different service plan, or delete your Edge Impulse account, directly from your account settings within the platform. For Paid Services, any such cancellation or downgrade requests will be effective at the end of the then-current Subscription Term. In order to upgrade from the Professional Plan to the Enterprise Plan, you must contact the Edge Impulse team as further detailed on our Pricing Page.

13.3 Termination. Unless otherwise provided for in these Terms or in a separate written agreement between Edge Impulse and you, and in addition to Edge Impulse’s other rights, Edge Impulse may cancel your account, suspend the Services and/or terminate your rights to any or all of the Site and/or the Services if you provide false, inaccurate or incomplete information to us, if you have not paid Fees owed to us, if you are in breach of any of your obligations under these Terms, or if your account is associated with a competitor of Edge Impulse. Edge Impulse further reserves the right to discontinue or suspend any aspect of or access to the Services at any time.

13.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms (i) your right to access and use the Site and Services will immediately terminate; and (ii) any fees you owe (if any) will become immediately due and payable. Except as expressly granted herein, you will not be entitled to any refund on any portion of any fees or other charges paid in connection with these Terms. Any termination pursuant to this Section shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies a party may be entitled to hereunder or at law and shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either party nor the coming into or continuance in force of any provision hereof which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination.

13.5 Survival. Sections 1, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 4, 5, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 7, 8.2, 9 through 17, plus all related definitions and all accrued rights to payment (if any) will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.

14. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Edge Impulse, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to the Site and the Services; (ii) your violation of any term of these Terms; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; and (iv) any claim that any of your Customer Data caused damage to a third party. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms and your use of the Edge Impulse Site.

15. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL EDGE IMPULSE OR OUR CHANNEL PARTNER(S) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS) OR FOR COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES, EDGEHUB, OR THE SITE, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF EDGE IMPULSE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EDGE IMPULSE’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, WILL BE LIMITED TO AND WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO EDGE IMPULSE BY YOU UNDER THESE TERMS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING ANY CLAIM MADE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Some states and other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to you. IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

16. General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Edge Impulse and you regarding the Site and the Services and supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Edge Impulse and you regarding the Site and the Services. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Edge Impulse’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be void and of no effect. Edge Impulse may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Edge Impulse’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Edge Impulse. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

These Terms and all matters arising out of, or relating to, these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The sole venue for all disputes relating to these Terms shall be in Santa Clara County, California.

17. Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver and Jury Waiver

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE THAT YOU AND EDGE IMPULSE AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

You and Edge Impulse agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Site or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and Edge Impulse are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of any intellectual property.

Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, available here as of the date of these Terms. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

To the extent not in conflict with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, each party will be responsible for its own fees and costs of the arbitration.

YOU AND EDGE IMPULSE WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Edge Impulse are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between you and Edge Impulse over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND EDGE IMPULSE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Despite any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Edge Impulse is entitled to arbitration.
