Recommended Templates are provided as a courtesy starting point only, are not legal advice, are not binding on Customer or Neural Partners until Customer affirmatively adopts and customizes them in accordance with the acceptance flow provided in the Services, and do not relieve Customer of its obligations under this Section 2.5. Customer remains solely responsible for the content, accuracy, completeness, customization, and legal sufficiency of its customer-facing terms whether or not Customer adopts a Recommended Template.
3. Customer Content; License to Neural Partners
3.1 Ownership of Customer Content
As between the parties, Customer owns all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Content, including all intellectual property rights therein. Neural Partners acquires no right, title, or interest in Customer Content except the limited license set forth in Section 3.2.
3.2 License to Neural Partners
Customer grants Neural Partners and its Subprocessors a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license during the Term to host, store, transmit, display, process, transform, and create derivative works of Customer Content solely as necessary to: (a) provide, support, maintain, and secure the Services; (b) prevent or address technical, security, or operational issues; (c) comply with law or a valid legal process; and (d) exercise rights expressly granted under this Agreement, including the rights set forth in Section 4.
3.3 Customer Representations
Customer represents and warrants that: (a) it has obtained, and will maintain throughout the Term, all rights, consents, and authorizations required for Neural Partners to process Customer Content as contemplated under this Agreement (including under applicable privacy and data-protection laws); (b) Customer Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate the rights of any third party; and (c) Customer Content complies with the AUP.
3.4 Restricted Data Categories
The Services are not designed for, and have not been certified to handle, certain categories of regulated data. Unless Customer has obtained Neural Partners' prior written consent and entered into any additional written agreement reasonably required by Neural Partners (such as a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement or industry-specific addendum), Customer shall not submit to, process through, or store in the Services any of the following ('Restricted Data'):
- protected health information ('PHI') governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ('HIPAA') or comparable health-data laws
- cardholder data subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ('PCI-DSS') other than as processed through Neural Partners' integrated Stripe payment flow
- personal data of children under the age of thirteen (or the equivalent age under applicable law, such as sixteen under GDPR Article 8) collected without verifiable parental consent in accordance with applicable law (including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 'COPPA')
- consumer financial data subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ('GLBA') or comparable financial-services privacy laws
- student education records subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ('FERPA')
- biometric identifiers or biometric information regulated by the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act ('BIPA') or comparable state biometric privacy laws
- government-issued identifiers (such as Social Security Numbers, passport numbers, driver's license numbers) outside of the limited fields specifically designated for such use in the Services
- classified information or controlled unclassified information under U.S. national security or export-control laws
- any other category of data that Neural Partners designates as Restricted Data in the Documentation or the AUP Customer is solely responsible for compliance with all laws that govern Restricted Data. Customer shall promptly notify Neural Partners at privacy@neuralpartners.ai if it becomes aware that Restricted Data has been submitted to the Services in violation of this Section 3.4, and shall cooperate in good faith with Neural Partners to address such submission, including by deleting, redacting, or quarantining the data and, if Neural Partners requests, executing additional written agreements to govern continued processing. Neural Partners may suspend or rate-limit Customer's access to the Services to the extent reasonably necessary to address inadvertent submission of Restricted Data, without liability.
4. AI Inputs and Outputs; No-Training Commitment
4.1 Rights to AI Inputs and Outputs
As between Customer and Neural Partners, Customer owns AI Inputs and, subject to applicable third-party model-provider terms and to Customer's rights in underlying source material, AI Outputs. Customer is solely responsible for evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and fitness for purpose of AI Outputs before relying on or publishing them.
4.2 No Training on Customer Content
Neural Partners will not use Customer Content (including Customer Data, Product Data, AI Inputs, and AI Outputs) to train, fine-tune, or improve Neural Partners' or any third-party generative AI models. Neural Partners will not provide Customer Content to its Subprocessors, including AI model providers, for any purpose other than to deliver the Services to Customer.
4.3 Aggregated Data and Service Telemetry
Notwithstanding Section 4.2, Neural Partners may collect, generate, and use aggregated and de-identified data derived from Customer's use of the Services — including search behavior, conversion signals, ranking interactions, click-through rates, feature-usage patterns, and performance metrics — to operate, secure, support, and improve the Services, including to improve search, ranking, retrieval, and recommendation models, and for analytics, benchmarking, and other internal business purposes. Such aggregated and de-identified data: (a) does not include Customer Content, raw queries containing personal information, or any data that identifies Customer, a User, an end user, or any customer-specific content; (b) shall not be reverse-engineered to re-identify any individual or entity; and (c) may be retained and used during and after the Term.
4.4 AI Disclaimers
Customer acknowledges that AI Outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, biases, hallucinations, or inappropriate content; do not constitute professional, legal, financial, or other expert advice; and may change as underlying models evolve. Customer agrees to apply appropriate human review before relying on AI Outputs and remains responsible for compliance of AI Outputs with applicable law and third-party rights in Customer's use context.
4.5 AI Provider Changes
Subject to the Subprocessor notice and objection procedures set forth in Section 5.4, Neural Partners may modify, substitute, or discontinue AI model providers or features. Neural Partners will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain substantially equivalent functionality but does not guarantee that AI features will remain unchanged. Changes that constitute a new or substituted Subprocessor processing Customer Personal Data are governed by Section 5.4; changes to features or models that do not involve a new Subprocessor (such as version updates within an existing model provider) are not subject to the Section 5.4 notice requirement.
4.6 AI Disclosures to End Consumers
Where end consumers interact with AI-driven features of the Services (including chat assistants, conversational AI, AI-generated content, automated recommendations, ranking, search, or other features that produce or rely on AI outputs), Neural Partners may include disclosures, labels, watermarks, badges, or other notices in the Services (for example, 'Powered by AI — responses may be inaccurate,' 'AI-assisted result,' or comparable language) designed to satisfy applicable laws and regulations governing AI use, including California Business & Professions Code § 17941 (formerly SB 1001 / chatbot disclosure), the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, the EU AI Act, and other comparable laws as in effect from time to time (collectively, 'AI Disclosures'). Customer shall not remove, obscure, disable, materially alter, or counterfeit any AI Disclosure provided by the Services without Neural Partners' prior written consent. To the extent Customer disables, removes, modifies, or otherwise impairs an AI Disclosure (whether through configuration options provided in the Services or through external means), Customer assumes sole responsibility for (a) providing equivalent disclosures to end consumers and (b) any resulting non-compliance with applicable AI, consumer-protection, or advertising laws. Customer's indemnification obligations under Section 11.2 expressly extend to claims arising from Customer's removal, modification, or impairment of AI Disclosures.
5. Data Protection, Security, and Subprocessors
5.1 Privacy and DPA
Neural Partners' processing of Personal Data on behalf of Customer is governed by the DPA, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and which applies to the extent Customer Content includes Personal Data subject to applicable data-protection laws (including GDPR, UK GDPR, and the CCPA/CPRA). The DPA is available on request from privacy@neuralpartners.ai.
5.2 Security
Neural Partners will implement and maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Content against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Neural Partners' current security overview is available on request. Customer is responsible for configuring User access, permissions, multi-factor authentication where available, and integration security on Customer's side.
5.3 Security Incidents
Neural Partners will notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of any actual or reasonably suspected unauthorized acquisition or use of Customer Data that compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of such Customer Data (a 'Security Incident'), and, where feasible, will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide initial notification within seventy-two (72) hours after becoming aware. Neural Partners will provide reasonable cooperation in Customer's investigation and required notifications, consistent with applicable law. Neural Partners' notification under this Section is not, and is not intended to be, an acknowledgment of fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident.
5.4 Subprocessors
Customer authorizes Neural Partners to engage Subprocessors to process Customer Content as part of providing the Services. Neural Partners maintains a current list of Subprocessors at https://www.neuralpartners.ai/legal/subprocessors/ identifying each Subprocessor by name, nature of services provided, jurisdiction of processing, and link to the Subprocessor's applicable privacy or data-protection policy. Neural Partners will provide at least fifteen (15) days' prior notice to Customer before engaging a new Subprocessor that will process Customer Data (or thirty (30) days' notice for high-impact additions, such as changes to a primary AI model provider or a Subprocessor processing a substantial volume of Customer Personal Data) by (a) updating the public Subprocessor page and (b) sending notice by email to the billing or legal contact on Customer's account. Notice is not required for changes that do not materially affect the processing of Customer Data, including internal corporate restructuring of an existing Subprocessor, name changes, or the addition of regions or availability zones within an existing infrastructure Subprocessor. Neural Partners may engage a new Subprocessor without prior notice where reasonably necessary to address a security incident, comply with legal process, prevent fraud, or maintain service continuity, in which case Neural Partners will provide notice as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Customer may object in good faith to a new Subprocessor by providing written notice to privacy@neuralpartners.ai within thirty (30) days after Neural Partners' notice. The parties will work together in good faith to identify a commercially reasonable alternative. If no commercially reasonable alternative is feasible within a reasonable time, Customer may terminate the affected Services for cause and receive a pro-rated refund of any prepaid, unused fees attributable to the affected Services. The objection right does not apply to Subprocessor changes that do not require prior notice under this Section. Neural Partners remains responsible for its Subprocessors' performance of obligations under this Agreement and will impose data-protection obligations on Subprocessors substantially similar to those in this Agreement and the DPA.
6. Fees and Payment
6.1 Fees
Customer will pay all fees specified in the applicable Order Form or subscription plan. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement or required by applicable law, all fees are non-refundable and not subject to set-off.
6.2 Billing
Unless an Order Form provides otherwise, fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. Customer authorizes Neural Partners (and its payment processors) to charge Customer's designated payment method on a recurring basis until Customer cancels. For invoiced customers, payment is due net thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Past-due amounts accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law.
6.3 Usage Overages
If Customer's use of the Services exceeds usage allowances set forth on the Order Form or subscription plan (including AI token, API call, storage, bandwidth, or transaction limits), Customer will pay applicable overage fees, or Neural Partners may suspend or rate-limit the affected functionality until the next billing period or until additional capacity is purchased.
6.4 Taxes
Fees are exclusive of taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, value-added, withholding, and similar taxes, levies, and duties imposed by any taxing authority associated with the Services, other than taxes based on Neural Partners' net income.
6.5 Price Changes
Neural Partners may change fees, introduce new charges, or change usage allowances at the end of the then-current subscription term upon at least thirty (30) days' prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email or via the Account dashboard).
6.6 Disputed Charges
Customer must notify Neural Partners in writing of any billing dispute within sixty (60) days of the relevant invoice or charge; failure to do so waives Customer's right to dispute that charge.
7. Term and Termination
7.1 Term
This Agreement begins on the date Customer first accepts it or accesses the Services (the 'Effective Date') and continues for the subscription term set forth in the applicable Order Form or, absent an Order Form, on a month-to-month basis (the 'Initial Term'). The subscription will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration (each, a 'Renewal Term'; together with the Initial Term, the 'Term') unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
7.2 Termination for Cause
Either party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' written notice (or without notice in the case of nonpayment) if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within the notice period. Neural Partners may terminate or suspend immediately if Customer's breach poses a security, legal, or operational risk.
7.3 Suspension
Without limiting Section 7.2, Neural Partners may suspend Customer's or any User's access to the Services if: (a) Customer fails to pay undisputed fees when due; (b) Neural Partners reasonably believes Customer or a User has violated the AUP, this Agreement, or applicable law; (c) Customer's use poses a security threat or material risk to the Services or other customers; or (d) required by law or a Subprocessor. Neural Partners will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer of suspension and to limit suspension to affected functionality.
7.4 Effect of Termination
Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement: (a) Customer's right to access and use the Services ends; (b) Customer remains responsible for all fees accrued or owed prior to termination; (c) Customer may, for a period of thirty (30) days following termination, request export of Customer Data in a commercially reasonable format; (d) after the export period, Neural Partners may, but is not obligated to, retain Customer Data and may permanently delete it consistent with applicable law and the DPA. Termination of this Agreement does not affect any obligation that, by its nature, should survive, including the sections identified in Section 20.9 and any accrued payment obligations.
7.5 Refunds Upon Termination by Customer for Cause
If Customer terminates this Agreement for Neural Partners' uncured material breach in accordance with Section 7.2, Neural Partners will refund any prepaid, unused fees for the remainder of the then-current subscription term.
8. Confidentiality
Each party (the 'Receiving Party') will: (a) hold the other party's (the 'Disclosing Party') Confidential Information in strict confidence; (b) use the same degree of care to protect Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care; and (c) use Confidential Information only as necessary to exercise rights or perform obligations under this Agreement. Confidential Information does not include information that the Receiving Party can document was (i) publicly available without breach, (ii) known prior to receipt without restriction, (iii) rightfully received from a third party without restriction, or (iv) independently developed without use of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information as required by law or court order, provided it gives the Disclosing Party prompt notice (where legally permitted) and reasonable cooperation in seeking a protective order. Confidentiality obligations under this Section 8 survive for five (5) years after termination, except that obligations regarding trade secrets continue for so long as the information remains a trade secret.
9. Intellectual Property
9.1 Neural Partners IP
Neural Partners and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, the Documentation, all underlying software, models, algorithms, infrastructure, and any improvements, derivative works, or feedback-based enhancements (collectively, 'Neural Partners IP'). Except for the limited rights expressly granted in Section 2, no rights or licenses are granted to Customer in or to Neural Partners IP.
9.2 Customer IP
Customer and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Content. Customer grants Neural Partners only the limited rights set forth in Section 3.2 and Section 4.
9.3 Feedback
If Customer provides Neural Partners with feedback, suggestions, comments, ideas, or recommendations regarding the Services ('Feedback'), Customer grants Neural Partners a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, modify, and incorporate such Feedback into the Services or any other Neural Partners offerings without obligation to Customer.
9.4 Trademarks
Each party retains all rights in its trademarks, service marks, trade names, and logos. Neural Partners™ is a trademark of Neural Partners Inc. U.S. trademark serial no. 99238229. Neither party may use the other's marks without prior written consent, except that Neural Partners may identify Customer as a customer in customer lists and case studies, and Customer may identify Neural Partners as a service provider, in each case using marks as provided by the other party.

19.2 Informal Dispute Resolution
Before initiating arbitration or any small-claims action, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally. The party initiating a dispute will send written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought to legal@neuralpartners.ai (or by mail to Neural Partners Inc., Attn: Legal, 390 NE 191st St, STE 65820, Miami, FL 33179), and the parties will personally meet and confer (telephonically or by videoconference) within forty-five (45) days. Completion of this informal process is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration. Limitations periods are tolled during this process.
19.3 Binding Arbitration
Except as set forth below, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services that is not resolved informally will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules (for claims under $250,000) or its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules (for larger claims). The arbitration will be conducted in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or, if mutually agreed, by remote means. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator's award is final and binding.
19.4 Exceptions to Arbitration
The arbitration requirement in Section 19.3 does not apply to: (a) small-claims actions brought on an individual basis and within the small-claims court's jurisdiction; (b) actions seeking equitable relief for actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or breach of confidentiality; or (c) reporting violations of law to government agencies.
19.5 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
YOU AND NEURAL PARTNERS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 19.4, YOU AND NEURAL PARTNERS WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JUDGE OR JURY. If a court finds the class-action waiver unenforceable as to any specific claim or request for relief, only that claim or request shall be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida; all other disputes shall proceed in arbitration.
19.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out
Customer may opt out of the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this Section 19 by sending written notice within thirty (30) days of first accepting this Agreement to legal@neuralpartners.ai or to Neural Partners Inc., 390 NE 191st St, STE 65820, Miami, FL 33179. The notice must include Customer's name, Account email, and a clear statement of opt-out. Opting out has no effect on the rest of this Agreement.
19.7 Forum for Non-Arbitrable Claims
For any claim not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
