If separately authorized, components of the Offering may also be deployed and operated within Your third-party hosted cloud environment; and the Offering may also support Your use through a third party’s (or Your) hardware, software, systems, telecommunications infrastructure, applications, plugins, add-ins, products and services (“Third-Party Systems”). You are responsible for providing the Third-Party Platforms and Third-Party Systems that You need to access, use, or facilitate use of the Offering, in each case, including those items that the Offering is intended to operate with (collectively, “Client Resources”). You must secure on Your own the appropriate intellectual property rights and licenses to use Client Resources, and You (not Saifr) are responsible for (a) verifying that Client Resources meet Your data security, data retention, data backup and other business requirements, including requirements under Applicable Law, and (b) ensuring that Client Resources operate properly to enable You to receive and use the Offering.
- Your access to or use of the Offering is consent for Saifr to provide the Offering to You through, exchange Client Data and Your information with, and disclose Client Confidential Information to, the Client Resources and their respective providers.

If requested by Saifr, You must provide copies or other appropriate evidence of these notices and authorizations. You hereby consent to the use, processing and third-party disclosure of all Restricted Information You provide Saifr or that Saifr obtains on Your behalf hereunder.

- Client’s Ownership of Client Data. You (and Your Affiliates and licensors) solely and exclusively own and always retain, all rights, title and interest in Client Data. Any use of Client Data with the Offering or inclusion of any excerpts from Client Data in any Offering Materials does not affect Client’s ownership or license rights in Client Data.

Where copyright ownership by AI Tools is not permitted under Applicable Laws, either Party may use AI Generated Information at its own risk and discretion, provided that in doing so it does not use or disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement.
- Confidentiality
- You and Saifr each (as a “Discloser”) may provide to the other (as a “Recipient”) certain confidential and proprietary technical and business information that the Discloser wishes to be treated as confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes any information the Discloser identifies as confidential at the time of disclosure or that the Recipient knows or should reasonably know is confidential, in each case whether disclosed orally, in writing, or in any other manner. Additionally, Saifr’s Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, each of the following that Saifr may provide access to relating to Saifr, its Affiliates, or the Offering: source code and executable or machine code, user documents and technical materials, product lists, pricing information, model information and architecture, marketing materials, presentations, product demonstrations and the Agreement. Your Confidential Information includes business, sales, marketing and customer information that You provide to Saifr.
- The Recipient must maintain the confidentiality of the Discloser’s Confidential Information using at least the degree of care it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information of a similar nature. The Recipient may use and disclose relevant aspects of the Discloser’s Confidential Information to Recipient’s Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ employees, subcontractors, advisors, agents, and permissible assigns, in each case, only to the extent reasonably necessary to perform its obligations, maintain or improve the Offering, or enforce its rights under the Agreement; and provided the Recipient (a) has enforceable agreements with such persons requiring them to maintain the confidentiality of such information and (b) shall be responsible if they fail to do so. Except as otherwise permitted under the Agreement, the Recipient shall not use or disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to any third party.
- Information is not Confidential Information of the Discloser if it: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than through wrongful acts or omissions of the Recipient; (b) is already known by the Recipient at the time of disclosure; (c) is disclosed in good faith to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis by a third party having a lawful right to do so; or (d) is independently developed by the Recipient or its Affiliates without reference to or use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information.
- If the Recipient is required to disclose any portion of the Discloser’s Confidential Information pursuant to a subpoena, summons, order, or other judicial, regulatory, or Governmental process, the Recipient must use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Discloser so the Discloser may take such action as it considers appropriate, and shall thereafter disclose only the minimum portion of the Discloser’s Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed in order to comply with the request, whether or not a protective order or other order has been obtained.
- Saifr may identify Client by name or logo or both in Saifr’s (or its Affiliates’) annual report, customer lists, and print, electronic, or online marketing materials. Otherwise, all advertising, press releases, public announcements, and public disclosures by either Party relating to the Agreement that include the other Party’s or its Affiliate’s name or language from which such name may be inferred, and all other use of the other Party’s or its Affiliate’s trade name, trademark, service mark, design, or logo will be coordinated with and subject to approval of both Parties prior to release or use, provided either Party may make disclosures as required under or permitted by Applicable Law, subject to the confidentiality obligations in the Agreement.
- Saifr will take commercially reasonable data security measures in accordance with good industry practice. You must also use commercially reasonable safeguards to ensure any information and Client Data transferred to Saifr is free of malware, viruses, and unauthorized or harmful code. You are solely responsible for verifying that Your access to or use of the Offering meets Your data security and data protection requirements.
- Verifying Compliance. You must keep adequate books and records to show Your and Your Authorized Users’ compliance with this Agreement. Saifr may verify compliance by requiring You to perform a self-audit and certify to such compliance, or by itself conducting an audit of such books and records (or directing an independent auditor to conduct such audit under non-disclosure obligations). You must reasonably cooperate with the verification process and promptly provide relevant information, documents and access to systems running the Offerings, that Saifr or the auditor may reasonably requests or require in connection with the verification. Verification performed by Saifr or an independent auditor shall be conducted at Saifr’s expense, unless it is initiated as the result of suspected material non-compliance, or it reveals You have materially breached Your obligations hereunder, in which case You must promptly reimburse Saifr for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such verification. Verification shall be conducted once a calendar year, but may be conducted more frequently, if required by Saifr’s auditors and/or regulators. If verification or self-audit reveals You have exceeded Your authorized use limits, that is, the number of seats or queries You purchase, You must within 15 days purchase additional authorizations sufficient to cover the period of such excess use. Your information provided during the verification process is subject to the confidentiality protections outlined in this Agreement and will be used solely to verify compliance. You must promptly report to Saifr any actual or reasonably suspected violation of Section 1.3 (Prohibited Uses and Activities) or Applicable Law. In addition, You must promptly take such actions as are necessary, and/or reasonably required by Saifr, to remedy any actual violations of Section 1.3 (Prohibited Uses and Activities) or Applicable Law.

Client warrants that (a) it is not a Governmental Authority, (b) it is not acquiring the license or authorizations hereunder pursuant to a Governmental contract, with Government funds, or for any Governmental Authority, and (c) its entering into and performance of this Agreement does not and will not violate, conflict with, or result in a material default under any Governmental or other third party contract.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 7 (WARRANTIES & DISCLAIMERS), SAIFR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, COMPATIBILITY, AND ANY WARRANTIES BY DESCRIPTION, REPRESENTATION, OR OTHER AFFIRMATION OF FACT, SAMPLE, OR ILLUSTRATION, OR THAT ARISE OUT OF CUSTOM, DEALING, TRADE, OR USAGE, WHETHER ORAL, WRITTEN, OR CONTAINED IN ANY LETTER, BROCHURE, WEBSITE, PHOTOGRAPH, OR OTHER MEDIUM. SAIFR DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE OFFERING OR ANY SERVICE INTEGRATED INTO A THIRD-PARTY PLATFORM WILL FUNCTION FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSES, MEET CLIENT’S NEEDS, OR ELIMINATE, PREVENT, OR MITIGATE REGULATORY NONCOMPLIANCE, HARM OR DAMAGE. The disclaimers in the Agreement also apply to Saifr’s Affiliates and Saifr’s and its Affiliates’ personnel, licensors, subcontractors, and distributors.
- Performance Benchmarks. Performance benchmarks may be published or provided to You and are for informational purposes only. Performance benchmarks do not always reflect performance of the Offering as used with Client Resources and do not serve as a guarantee of similar results. Actual performance of the Offering may vary from the published benchmark performance due to many factors and variables outside of Saifr’s reasonable control. You are responsible for assessing the suitability of the Offering for Your needs and Saifr makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the efficiency or effectiveness of the Offering, or the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any Deliverables, or any other results or output from the Offering.
- Third-Party Platforms and Systems. Saifr has no responsibility for Third-Party Platforms, Third-Party Systems, or the actions of a Third-Party Host. Third-Party Hosts and Third-Party Systems providers operate independently from Saifr, and have no agency, partnership, joint venture, or other legal relationship with Saifr that would permit them to undertake obligations on behalf of Saifr. Third Party Hosts and Third-Party Systems providers may also operate independently of each other. No Third-Party Host, Third-Party Systems provider, or other third-party is authorized to bind, or make any warranties, representations, or commitments on behalf of Saifr, or that relate to the Offering in any manner.
- Payment and Taxes
-
- Subscription-Based Clients. You must pay all Saifr charges via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”), or by such other method specified by Saifr at the time of Your order. Saifr invoices for periodic subscriptions are due and payable immediately upon submission of Your order or as otherwise set forth in the applicable invoice.
- Usage-Based Clients. Where metering and billing is periodic based on Your usage, the Third-Party Host will invoice and charge You under the terms of Your agreement with the Third-Party Host and the applicable ordering document.
- Failure to pay is a material breach.
- Unless Saifr is required to do so by Applicable Law, You will be responsible for paying and remitting all taxes, duties, and similar levies (plus interest and penalties) arising from, assessed, claimed, or imposed on the Agreement or transactions under it. Such amounts are not included in the charges and may be invoiced separately where Saifr has the legal obligation to make collection. If You are required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any amounts from the subscription fees You pay, You must increase the amount payable to Saifr to the extent necessary so that the amount receivable after such withholding or deduction is equal to the amount which would have been receivable had no such withholding or deduction been made. You agree to indemnify and hold Saifr harmless for any claims, liability, or expenses arising from Your failure to pay any applicable taxes arising from, assessed, claimed, or imposed on the Agreement or transactions under it.
-
- Limits of Liability.
- General Limits and Exclusions. Saifr’s entire potential liability for all claims in the aggregate related to the Agreement will not exceed the amount of any actual direct damages You incur, up to the amount You paid for the Offering that is the subject of the claim during the 12 months preceding the first claim to arise, regardless of the basis of the claim. The foregoing limitation on the amount of damages does not apply to (a) Saifr’s third-party defense and payment obligations referred to in Section 10 (Defense of Third-party Claims) and (b) damages that cannot be disclaimed or limited under Applicable Laws. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NONE OF SAIFR, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS OR ITS AFFILIATES’ PERSONNEL, LICENSORS, OR SUBCONTRACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, OR ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, VALUE, REVENUE, OR GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, EVEN IF SAIFR IS AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE.
- No Liability for Client’s Legal, Regulatory or Other Responsibilities. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NONE OF SAIFR, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS OR ITS AFFILIATES’ PERSONNEL, LICENSORS, OR SUBCONTRACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF: (A) CLIENT’S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS AGREEMENT, CLIENT’S LEGAL OR REGULATORY OBLIGATIONS, OR THE REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE LAW OR INDUSTRY RULES; (B) CLIENT’S INFORMATION, INCLUDING CLIENT DATA, CLIENT COMMUNICATIONS, INPUTS, AND MATERIALS; (C) LOSS OF CLIENT DATA OR FAILURE TO RETAIN OR BACKUP CLIENT DATA, (D) USE OF CLIENT RESOURCES BY CLIENT, SAIFR OR THEIR AFFILIATES TO FACILITATE CLIENT’S ACCESS AND USE OF THE OFFERING; (E) INACCURACIES IN, OR CLIENT’S USE OF, OR RELIANCE ON, THE DELIVERABLES, THE OFFERING MATERIALS, OR ANY OTHER RESULTS OR OUTPUT FROM THE OFFERING, OR (F) ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY HOST AND THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS PROVIDERS. FOR CLARITY, THE FOREGOING DOES NOT NEGATE OBLIGATIONS EXPRESSLY UNDERTAKEN BY SAIFR ELSEWHERE IN THE AGREEMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH RESPECT TO THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND THE AUTHORIZED USE OF CLIENT DATA.
- Defense of Third-party Claims.
- Saifr’s Obligations. If a third party asserts a claim against You that the Saifr Software or Services provided by Saifr infringes or misappropriates that party’s U.S. patent, copyright, or trademark, Saifr will defend You against that claim and pay amounts finally awarded by a court against You or included in a settlement approved by Saifr, in resolution of such claim; provided, however, that Saifr shall have no liability if the claim against You arises from or is based on: (a) Your or a third-party’s modification of the Offering; (b) Client Resources or any other third-party products, materials, technology, systems or services not controlled by Saifr, or their combination or use with the Offering; (c) Client Data, or its combination or use with the Offering; (d) Saifr’s compliance with designs or specifications You or a third party provides to facilitate Your access and use of the Offering; (e) Your use of AI Generated Information; (f) Your violations of, the Agreement, any law, or third-party rights or licenses; (g) Your failure to comply with open source or other license terms applicable to the Offering, (h) Your use of a non-current version of the Offering after Saifr has made a more current version available; or (i) Your or Your Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Saifr’s responsibilities under this Section 10.1 (Saifr’s Obligations) are the entire obligation of, and the Client’s exclusive remedy against, Saifr, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ personnel, licensors, and subcontractors regarding any claim of intellectual property infringement relating to the Agreement or the Offering.
- Client’s Obligations.

The Indemnified Party is always free to choose its own counsel if it pays for the cost of such counsel. The Indemnifying Party cannot settle any action without the Indemnified Party’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if: (1) the settlement requires an admission by, or imposes any liability or obligation on, the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, or (2) the claim is being asserted by a Governmental Authority.
