Abzu may terminate Your Non-Commercial License at any time with immediate effect for any reason and without liability to Abzu of any kind.

Necessary utilities to permit access to the Services, including but not limited to electricity supply to the User and the datacenter where the Services are hosted, a well-functioning internet connection between Your Users and the Platform/Services, and any software necessary to access and use the Platform/Services (except that which is specifically provided by Abzu) are beyond Abzu’s reasonable ability to control. As such, Abzu may not be held liable for their correct, reliable, or secure operation; or any loss incurred as a result of their failure.
  2. From time to time it may be necessary to perform upgrade or maintenance work on the Platform/the Services. We will attempt to schedule such work at times of limited usage and notify Users in advance, but in some cases (such as mitigating security issues) prior notification may not be a viable option.

  3. The content of Your datasets stay on Your machines. Use of the Services does not involve transmitting Your Dataset(s) to Us, and does not give Us access to Your Dataset(s). However, in order to function, the Services need some metadata about Your Datasets to be sent to Us (the “Transmitted Inputs”).

9. Intellectual property.

  1. Except as expressly stated in the Agreement, the Agreement does not grant either Party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other Party’s Datasets or other data, trademarks, services, or any of the other Party’s intellectual property.

  3. Abzu shall have a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable and perpetual license to incorporate into the Services or otherwise use any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback We receive from You or Your Users.
  4. By using the Services, You agree that We can store the Transmitted Inputs to the Services in log files, and use them to generate the results given back to You. We may also use stored inputs to evaluate performance of the Services and/or study usage patterns, including but not limited to examining inputs that seem to create problems for the Platform or Services, or testing new versions of the Platform or Services against logs of previous inputs.
  5. Due to Your use of the Services, generalized and/or transferable experience (“Retained Learnings”) may be generated. Such Retained Learnings belong to Abzu, and Abzu has the right to use such learnings in Our future products and services free of any charges, licenses, or any other payments or obligations to You.

10. 3rd-party services.

  1. In order for Abzu to process billing and payments, You or Your Users may be required to register for and/or log into certain services offered by 3rd-parties on their respective websites. By enabling any such 3rd-party services, We will ask for Your and/or Your Users’ permission to disclose the specific login as well as any personal data which may be necessary to facilitate the use or enablement of such 3rd-party services.
  2. If You or Your Users decide to enable, access or use 3rd-party services, be advised that the access and use of such 3rd-party services is governed solely by the terms and conditions of such 3rd-party service providers, and We do not endorse, are not responsible or liable for, and make no representations as to any aspect of such 3rd-party service providers or their respective services, including, without limitation, their content or the manner in which they handle data (including Personal Data) or any interaction between You and the provider of such 3rd-party services.
  3. You and Your Users irrevocably waive any claim against Abzu with respect to such 3rd-party service providers and their services. Abzu is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with Your or Your Users’ enablement of, access to or use of any such 3rd-party services, or Your or Your Users’ reliance on the privacy practices, data security processes or other policies of any 3rd-party services.

11. Billing and payments.

  1. Unless otherwise indicated on an Order Form referencing the Agreement, all charges associated with Your access to and use of the Services (the “Subscription Charges”) are due in full upon commencement of Your Subscription Term.
  2. Your Subscription to the Services will automatically renew for a Subscription Term equivalent to the previous Subscription Term, unless Your Subscription is terminated. Unless otherwise provided for in the Agreement, the Subscription Charges applicable to Your Subscription to the Services for any such subsequent Subscription Term shall be Our standard subscription charges for the Service Plan You have subscribed to as of the time such subsequent Subscription Term commences.
  3. If You choose to extend the terms of Your Subscription Plan to access more or additional services/products during Your Subscription Term (a “Subscription Upgrade”), any incremental Subscription Charges associated with such Subscription Upgrade will be prorated over the remaining period of Your then current Subscription Term, charged to You, and due and payable upon implementation of such Subscription Upgrade. In any future Subscription Term, the Subscription Charges will reflect any such Subscription Upgrades.
  4. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the Agreement, Our charges do not include any kind of taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments by any domestic or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying Taxes except those assessable against Abzu based on its income. We will invoice You for such Taxes if We believe We have a legal obligation to do so and You agree to pay such Taxes if so invoiced.
  5. Any payment disputes must be submitted before the payment due date. If the Parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Abzu, Abzu will issue a credit memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If the disputed invoice has not yet been paid, Abzu will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and You will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice. If the disputed invoice has already been paid, Abzu will credit the overpaid amount to the following billing period. Nothing in the Agreement obligates Abzu to extend credit to any Party.
  6. We may change Our charges at any time unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing. We will notify You in writing at least 30 days in advance of any such changes. The Subscription Charges will change at the beginning of the next Subscription Term after the notification period.
  7. Abzu uses a 3rd-party service provider to manage credit card processing. This 3rd-party service provider is not permitted to store, retain or use Your billing information except to process Your credit card information for Abzu. If You pay by credit card, the Services provide an interface for You to change credit card information (e.g. upon card renewal). You will either receive a receipt upon each received payment by Abzu, or a receipt may be obtained from within the Services to track subscription status.

12. Cancellation or termination.

  1. Either You or Abzu may elect to terminate the Subscription to the Services, without cause, as of the end of Your then current Subscription Term by providing notice, in accordance with the Agreement, on or prior to the date thirty (30) days preceding the end of such Subscription Term. Such notice may be provided by cancelling the Subscription via Our billing system or by contacting support@abzu.ai.
  2. No refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other amounts you have paid to Us will be provided to You if You elect to terminate Your Subscription to the Services or cancel Your Subscription prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term.
  3. If You terminate the Subscription, cancel Your Subscription prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term, or if We effect such termination or cancellation pursuant to Section 12(a) or 12(d), You must immediately pay any then unpaid Subscription Charges associated with the remainder of such Subscription Term in addition to other amounts You may owe to Us. This amount will not be payable by You in the event You terminate Your Subscription or cancel Your Subscription as a result of a material breach of the Agreement by Us, provided that You have provided due advance notice of such breach including the particulars of and the circumstances constituting the breach and its materiality to Us and afforded Us not less than sixty (60) days to reasonably cure such breach.
  4. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Services (or any part thereof), or Your and/or Your Users’ rights to access and use the Services, and remove, disable and discard any Personal Data if We believe that You or any User have violated the Agreement. Unless legally prohibited from doing so, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify You in writing when taking any of the foregoing actions. We shall not be liable to You and Users, or any other 3rd-party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuation of Your rights to access and use the Services.
  5. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity by You or any User may be referred to law enforcement authorities at Our sole discretion.

13. Warranties and limitation of liability.

  1. Except as expressly provided for in the Agreement, We do not make and expressly disclaim to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular use, title, non-infringement, or error-free or uninterrupted use of the Services.
  2. You agree and understand that Our total, aggregated liability for any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Your use of the Services will be limited to an amount equivalent to the Subscription Charges over a period of twelve (12) months prior to the event giving rise to the claim.
  3. Under no circumstances and under no legal theory (whether in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise) will either Party to the Agreement, or their affiliates, officers, directors, employees, Users, suppliers or licensors be liable to the other Party or any 3rd-party for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, punitive or other similar damages, including loss of profits, loss of sales or business, loss of data, business interruption or any other loss incurred by such Party or 3rd-party in connection with the Agreement, regardless of whether such Party has been advised of the possibility of or could have foreseen such damages or not.
  4. Some 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 these jurisdictions, Our liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
  5. Nothing in the Agreement excludes or limits any liabilities related to indemnification, intellectual property, or payment obligations.
  6. Neither Party will be liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control (force majeure), including acts of God, natural disasters, terrorism, riots, or war.

  4. URLs may be changed from time to time to provide substantially the same service from a different address. Such a change to a URL shall not constitute a change in itself and shall not require specific written notice. Such notice, or other methods, may be used at Our discretion to make transitions to the new URL easier for Users.
  5. The email addresses listed in this Agreement may be changed from time to time in order to allow us to more effectively provide substantially the same support to You and other customers. Such a change shall not constitute a change in itself and shall not require specific written notice. To access support from Us, or to provide a written notice under section 16(e), the address corresponding to the most recently published version of the Agreement should be used.

15. Relationship and assignment.

  1. The Parties are independent contractors. The Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship among the Parties.

To the extent necessary, each Party hereby submit to, and agree not to contest, the jurisdiction of the Danish courts.

  1. You will indemnify Us and hold Us harmless against any and all claims brought by a 3rd-party against Us arising from or related to use of the Services by You or any User in breach of the Agreement or matters which You have expressly agreed to be responsible for pursuant to the Agreement, provided that Abzu promptly notifies You of the threat or notice of such a claim.
