Changes to such information can be made in your account settings.
5.3. Billing. By agreeing to these Terms and using the Services, you agree to be billed on a recurring basis and to be automatically charged by us or our Payment Processors using your Payment Methods upon invoicing. If your Payment Method or payment of fees is subject to other terms and conditions, as set forth in Order Forms, invoices or otherwise, then those other terms and conditions apply in addition to these Terms. You may also be billed an amount up to your current balance at any time to verify the accuracy of your account information.

In certain states, countries and territories, we may determine if your purchase of Services is subject to certain Taxes, and if so, may collect such Taxes and remit them to the appropriate taxing authority. If you believe that a given Tax does not apply or that some amount must be withheld from payments to us, you must promptly provide us with a tax certificate, withholding receipt, tax identifier (e.g., VAT ID) or other adequate proof, provided such information is valid and sufficiently authorized by all appropriate taxing authorities. You must also provide us with any tax identification information that is necessary for us to comply with our tax obligations, as we determine from time to time.

We will indemnify you for any Losses finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or settlement amounts approved by us for an Infringement Claim, provided that we have received from you (i) prompt written notice of the Infringement Claim; (ii) reasonable assistance in the defense and investigation of the Infringement Claim, including providing us a copy of the Infringement Claim, all relevant evidence in your possession, custody or control, and cooperation with evidentiary discovery, litigation and trial, including making witnesses within your employ or control available for testimony; and (iii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of the Infringement Claim. If your use of the Services has become, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, we may at our expense: (a) procure for you the right to continue using the Services as set forth in these Terms; (b) modify the Services to make them non-infringing; or (c) if the foregoing options are not reasonably practicable, terminate these Terms, or, if applicable, terminate the Services that are the subject of any Infringement Claim and refund you any unused pre-paid fees. We will have no liability or obligations under this Section 12.1 with respect to any Infringement Claim (1) arising out of your use of the Services in breach of these Terms; (2) arising out of the combination, operation or use of the Services with other applications, hardware, products or services where the Services would not themselves be infringing; or (3) arising from your continued use of the Services after we have notified you that such use is infringing (the foregoing, collectively, the “Excluded Claims”). We will have no liability in respect of Infringement Claims related to free services.
12.2. Indemnification by You. You are responsible for your use of the Services, and you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our employees, officers, directors, agents, contractors, and representatives from all Losses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) that arise from or relate to: (i) your or any End Users’ breach of Section 3 (Your Services Subscription); (ii) a Customer Application, including, without limitation, any claims that a Customer Application, or your or any End User’s use of a Customer Application, infringes or misappropriation of a third party’s intellectual property rights (including personality, publicity or privacy rights); (iii) breach of these Terms or violation of applicable Law by you; (iv) your gross negligence or willful misconduct; (v) Your Content (including your making Your Content available to others through the Services); or (vi) any claim that your access to or use of the Services infringes any third party’s rights, including any Excluded Claim but not including any claims for which we indemnify you under Section 12.1 above. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter, in which event you will make best efforts to assist and cooperate with us in defending the matter at your expense.
13. Limitation of Liability.
13.1. Consequential Damages Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, LOST OPPORTUNITY COSTS, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE OR ANY LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE. SOME JURISDICTIONS (SUCH AS THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY) DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
13.2. Liability Cap. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR TO THE SERVICES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU UNDER THESE TERMS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
13.3. Risk Allocation. Each provision of these Terms that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages is intended to and does allocate the risks between the parties under these Terms. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between you and us. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of these Terms. The limitation in this section will apply even if any limited remedy fails for its essential purpose.
14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.
14.1. Arbitration. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Clarifai in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, and except as described in Section 14.7, you and Clarifai agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms, if applicable. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Clarifai are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration.
14.2. Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration between you and Clarifai will be administered by a sole arbitrator in accordance with JAMS Alternative Dispute Resolution Services (with any successor organization, “JAMS”) pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The JAMS rules and filing forms are available online at http://www.jamsadr.com/. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. Because your contract with Clarifai, these Terms, and this Arbitration Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.
14.3. Arbitration Requirements. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Manhattan, New York, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; or (b) through a non-appearance-based telephone hearing. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Clarifai for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the JAMS Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
14.4. Enforceability. If any portion of this Section 14 is found to be unenforceable, then that portion will be null and void and the remainder of this Section 14 will reasonably remain in effect. In such an event, if Section 14 cannot reasonably remain in effect as a whole, you and Clarifai agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 15.4 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
15. Miscellaneous Provisions.
15.1. Updates and Modifications. Clarifai reserves the right to update, change or otherwise modify these Terms at any time and in Clarifai’s sole discretion. If Clarifai updates these Terms, Clarifai may provide notice of such updates, such as by sending an email notification to the email address listed in your Account and/or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. Updates will be effective on the date specified in the notice. By continuing to use or access the Services after the date specified in the notice or updated Terms, you are agreeing to accept and be bound by the updated Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, then you may not continue to use the Services and your sole and exclusive remedy is to deactivate your Account and otherwise discontinue use of the Website and/or Services.
15.2. General. These Terms, including all documents expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any use of the singular will be reasonably construed as if it also includes the plural, and vice versa. If not already specified, any use of “including” or “such as” will be construed to mean “including but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
