3.16. Things you can do as a Professional and Community Plans User. As a Professional and Community Plans User, you are bound by certain usage and Cloud Infrastructure limitations, including access to certain Features, Compute Time, and/or Storage limitations, as described in the “Community” section of the page at https://edgeimpulse.com/pricing.
3.17. Creating an Account; Information You Must Provide. If you register any Account with Edge Impulse, you agree to provide accurate, complete registration information, and to keep that information current. You agree that Edge Impulse may store and use your registration information to maintain your Account.

3.18. End User of a license granted by a Channel Partner. If you received or were granted access to the Services from a Channel Partner, you acknowledge and agree that we may collect your login dates as part of tracking ‘non-use’ of the Edge Impulse SaaS platform (i.e., where an Professional and Community Plans User has not accessed Edge Impulse Services for thirty (30) calendar days or more) and disclose such usage information to the Channel Partner so they can determine whether your license to the Services should be re-assigned to another customer of the Channel Partner. If the Channel Partner determines that there is non-use, in their sole discretion, the Channel Partner can re-assign your license to another customer. At that time, your access to the Services will expire and you can use the Services as a Professional and Community Plans User subject to applicable restrictions on use.
3.19. Evaluation Offerings. We may offer certain Services to you to try at no additional charge, and which are designated as beta (including Beta Versions, as defined below), free trials, limited release, non-production, developer preview, proof of concept, evaluation, or other similar designation (collectively, the “Evaluation Offerings”). Your use of Evaluation Offerings is subject to any additional terms that we specify and is only permitted for the evaluation period that we designate. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.19 (Evaluation Offerings), these Terms governing the Services, including Section 3.16 (Things you can do as a Professional and Community Plans User) and/or Section 3.5 (Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence Technology License (“RAIL”)), fully apply to Evaluation Offerings. We may modify or terminate your right to use Evaluation Offerings at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to you. You must accept any modifications to continue using the Evaluation Offerings, otherwise your exclusive remedy is to cease using the Evaluation Offerings.
a) You understand that any pre-release and beta Services, and any pre-release and beta features within generally available Services that we make available (“Beta Versions”) are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Services. We make no promises that any Beta Versions will ever be made generally available. In some instances, we may charge a fee in order to allow you to access certain Evaluation Offerings or Beta Versions, but your access will still remain subject to this Section 3.19 (Evaluation Offerings).
b) All information regarding the characteristics, features, or performance of any Services and any Evaluation Offerings (including Beta Versions) constitutes our Confidential Information and intellectual property, and you may not disclose such Confidential Information to any person or entity and you may not use it for any purpose. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO SERVICES AND EVALUATION OFFERINGS, INCLUDING ANY SUPPORT, WARRANTY AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS, OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU WITH RESPECT OF ANY SERVICES AND EVALUATION OFFERINGS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100.00 USD).

4.1. Edge Impulse’s Right to be Paid Accrues on Effective Date of Orders. Edge Impulse’s right to payment for the Services purchased by Customer under an Order shall accrue on the date of the applicable Order.
4.2. Fees. You will pay Edge Impulse the fees set forth in the relevant Order (“Fees”) in accordance with the terms therein and these Terms and without offset or deduction. Fees may include subscription fees for the Paid Services and any overage fees incurred if you exceed the usage capacity of your Paid Services plan (i.e., Excess Usage). Except as expressly provided in these Terms or the applicable Order, all payment obligations accrued or made under this Agreement are non-cancelable and nonrefundable. 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 commencement of any renewal of any Subscription Term, unless you cancel your subscription to the Paid Services in accordance with Section 7 (Term; Termination; Modification).
4.3. 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 your 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 fail 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. Any amount which is unpaid when due may be subject to interest equal to the lower of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest applicable legal rate, unless otherwise indicated in the Order, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. If and when your outstanding invoice(s) are referred to a collection agent due to non-payment, Edge Impulse shall be entitled to reimbursement for costs associated with the collection of any past-due balance, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
4.4. Taxes. All prices and Fees stated by Edge Impulse are exclusive of any taxes, fees, and duties or other amounts, however designated (including sales, use, ad valorem and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority), other than any taxes imposed on or measured by Edge Impulse’s net income (however denominated). If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment by Customer to Edge Impulse related to the delivery of the Documentation, the Services, or any support services purchased or licensed pursuant to this Agreement, or access to and use of the Site, then Customer shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Customer agrees not to withhold any taxes, or to withhold at a reduced rate, to the extent that Edge Impulse is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, as appropriate, withholding under any Applicable Law, which shall be construed to include any applicable income tax treaty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Customer shall bear any and all value-added taxes, goods and services taxes and similar charges payable by Customer. As soon as practicable after the payment of any taxes by Customer to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.4 (Taxes), Customer shall deliver to Edge Impulse the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, any and all exemption certificates accepted by such Governmental Authority, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Edge Impulse. If Customer receives a refund of any taxes deducted or withheld from any payment by Customer to Edge Impulse pursuant to this Section 4.4 (Taxes), Customer shall pay to Edge Impulse an amount equal to such refund.

In connection with the performance of your/their obligations under this Agreement, you and your Affiliates (as applicable): (a) will comply with all Export and Sanctions Laws, including by obtaining any required U.S. or other country licenses, authorizations, or approvals; and (b) will not engage in any activity that would reasonably be expected to cause Edge Impulse or its Affiliates to violate any Export and Sanctions Laws.

The U.S. government currently maintains comprehensive economic sanctions or an embargo against Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea and so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic regions of Ukraine. The U.S. government also has imposed extensive export control and economic sanctions on, inter alia, Belarus, the Russian Federation, and Venezuela. The list of impacted countries may be amended over time. You agree not to directly or indirectly employ any Edge Impulse Offerings in, or Export any Edge Impulse Offerings for, end uses or for end users that would violate the controls in Part 744 of the EAR, without prior U.S. government authorization, including those related to prohibited missile or unmanned aerial vehicle ("UAV") technology; prohibited nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons activities; prohibited supercomputer and semiconductor manufacturing end uses; or for any prohibited military end use or end user. If you are a person or entity located in Belarus, Cambodia, the People's Republic of China, Nicaragua, the Russian Federation, Venezuela, or Myanmar, you certify that you are not a "military end-user" as that term is defined in section 744.21 of the EAR. You acknowledge that the foregoing certifications are conditions to your access to the Edge Impulse Offerings. You warrant that neither you, nor your Affiliates (as applicable), are: (i) listed on a prohibited or restricted party list published by the U.S. government, including the U.S. Department of Treasury’s “List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” and “Consolidated Sanctions List”, and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Entity List, Unverified List, and Denied Persons List, or any similar list maintained by the United Kingdom, the European Union or its Member States, or other applicable local authority; (ii) located, organized or resident in an Embargoed Country; (iii) owned (50% or more in the aggregate) or controlled, directly or indirectly, by a person or entity described in clauses (i) or (ii); or (iv) otherwise the target of U.S. sanctions (collectively, “Restricted Parties”). You shall not Export any Edge Impulse Offerings to any Restricted Parties without prior government authorization, to the extent required by regulation. If Edge Impulse or any Edge Impulse Affiliate is required under applicable trade laws to obtain any export license or other government authorization to license, sell and/or otherwise supply the Edge Impulse Offerings to you, you agree to provide in a timely manner all necessary documentation to Edge Impulse, to support Edge Impulse’s application for that export license or other government authorization, as Edge Impulse shall request. That documentation may include an end use statement, an import license, or any other required information. Edge Impulse and its Affiliates reserve the right to suspend the performance of its obligations under this Agreement until any required export license or other government authorization is granted by the competent Governmental Authority, without incurring any liability to you. Edge Impulse and its Affiliates shall have no further obligation whatsoever under this Agreement in the event that the competent Governmental Authority fails or declines to issue any such required export license or other authorization. You agree to comply with all the terms, conditions, and restrictions of any required export license, as notified by Edge Impulse. You agree that you bear sole responsibility for any violation of Export and Sanctions Laws in connection with your activities under this Agreement, and further agrees to protect, indemnify and hold harmless Edge Impulse and its Affiliates from any claim, damages, liability costs, fees and expenses incurred by Edge Impulse and its Affiliates as a result of your violation of such laws. In the event that any of the foregoing you certifications is, or hereafter becomes, incorrect, or you breach any of your covenants under this Section 8 (Import and Export Regulations), all licenses to the Edge Impulse Offerings accessed by you hereunder shall automatically be terminated, and any further use of the Edge Impulse Offerings by you will constitute a breach of this Agreement and an infringement of the relevant Intellectual Property Rights of Edge Impulse, your Affiliates, and their respective licensors, if any.
9. Indemnity
You shall (i) defend or settle, any claim, suit, dispute, controversy, action, proceeding or demand (“Claim”) made or brought against Edge Impulse or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents by a third party and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless Edge Impulse and the other persons noted above from and against any damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Damages”) arising out of or relating to (a) your breach of this Agreement, (b) the access to the Edge Impulse Offerings by persons to whom you have provided your online ID and/or online password, (c) any Customer Public Project or the use thereof by any person, and (d) any third party provided Public Project that is accessed, cloned, or used by you where the Claim arises out of or is related to your use of the Public Project.

Some states and other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for certain types of damages, which means that some of the above limitations in this Section 10 (Limitation of Liability) and in Section 5 (Mutual Warranty; WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS) may not apply to you.

14. Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver and Jury Waiver
Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.
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. Except with respect to Customers domiciled in China (in which case the second paragraph of Section 12.5 (Governing Law; Venue) would govern, you and Edge Impulse agree that, in accordance with Sections 14.2 through 14.8 below, all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the use of the Site, the Services, or any other Edge Impulse Offerings (a “Dispute”) 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.
14.1 Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out - Notwithstanding the above and except with respect to Customers domiciled in China (in which case the second paragraph of Section 12.5 (Governing Law; Venue) would govern, you or Edge Impulse may choose to pursue a claim or Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) the claim or Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN THIRTY (30) CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST AGREE TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this mandatory Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver and Jury Waiver provision by mailing written notification to Edge Impulse, 5775 Morehouse Drive, San Diego, California, 92121, U.S.A., Attn: Secretary (the “Notice Address”). Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with Edge Impulse through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver and Jury Waiver provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Edge Impulse. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your claim or Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
14.2 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution - Whenever a Dispute arises between you and Edge Impulse, you and Edge Impulse agree to first send a written notice to the other (a “Demand”). You must send the Demand to Edge Impulse via certified mail to the Notice Address. Edge Impulse must send the Demand to you via certified mail to the most recent address Edge Impulse has on file for you (or by email if Edge Impulse only has an email address for you on file). A Demand: (1) shall seek to resolve the Dispute only on an individual basis; (2) shall state the full basis for the Dispute (including the details about the Dispute sufficient for the recipient to review and respond) and the date that the Dispute arose; (3) shall provide the individual claimant’s full name, phone number, and email address to confirm their identity and to aid communication; and (4) shall be personally signed by the individual claimant or for Edge Impulse by its authorized representative (and not only their counsel). Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of a Demand, the recipient may request an individualized video or telephone conference to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute which both you and Edge Impulse will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). You and Edge Impulse agree that you and Edge Impulse will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding arbitration, until after the period to request a conference expires or, if a conference is requested, twenty (20) business days after the individualized conference is completed. Compliance with this informal dispute resolution procedure section is mandatory and a condition precedent to initiating any lawsuit or arbitration. This procedure is essential to providing each of us a meaningful opportunity to resolve disputes informally. Any applicable limitations periods and filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the Parties engage in the process set forth above. A court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or prosecution of a lawsuit or arbitration if these requirements have not been met.
14.3. Arbitration Procedures - Arbitration will be initiated through JAMS and will be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, available here, and JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, available here, as applicable, as of the date of these Terms. You and Edge Impulse agree that the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines shall apply to if ten (10) or more similar demands for arbitration are filed against the same party or related parties represented by either the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination. If JAMS 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.
14.4. Location of Arbitration - You or Edge Impulse may initiate arbitration in either San Diego County, California or the United States federal judicial district in which you reside and will be conducted in the English language.
14.5. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs - To the extent not in conflict with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, each Party will be responsible for its own fees and costs of the arbitration.
14.6. Arbitration Award - The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to Applicable Law and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding, provided that in no event will the arbitrator have the authority to award punitive damages. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a Party. Such award will be final and binding on the Parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties for purposes of enforcement. If any arbitration or other proceeding is brought to enforce or interpret this Agreement or matters relating to it, the substantially prevailing Party, as determined by the arbitrator's award, will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in such arbitration or proceeding from the other Party, in addition to any other relief to which such prevailing Party is entitled.
14.7. JURY TRIAL WAIVER - 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. THE TERMS IN THIS PARAGRAPH WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
14.8. CLASS ACTION WAIVER - ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. Despite any other provision of these Terms, the Arbitration Agreement or the JAMS 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 representative actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Edge Impulse is entitled to arbitration.
