This monitoring may include Clearview accessing and using your API Program, for example to identify security issues that could affect you, Clearview, or its users. You will not interfere with this monitoring. Clearview may use any technical means to overcome such interference. Clearview may suspend access to the APIs by you or your API Program without notice if we reasonably believe that you are in violation of the Terms.

 

You will not use any automatic or manual device or process to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Clearview APIs, except to remove the Clearview APIs from a computer of which you are an owner or authorized user in a manner permitted by these Terms. You may not violate or attempt to violate the security of the Clearview APIs. Clearview reserves the right to investigate occurrences which may involve such violations, and may involve, and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting users who have participated in such violations.

Security, Bugs, and Harmful Code. You will ensure that each API Program is developed with and contains protections that are adequate to keep secure and prevent the interception of any APIs transmitted to or from such API Program. You will ensure that each API Program transmits data with protocols that are at least as secure as those being used by the Clearview APIs, and in any event with protocols as secure as 128-bit SSL encryption. You will not attempt to circumvent any security measures or technical limitations of the APIs.

VIII. TERM & TERMINATION

​

a. Term

The effectiveness of these Terms commences on the day you first access the API. The initial term commitment for your purchase or use of an API will be as specified on an Order Form (“Initial Term”) whether it be via a free trial or a paid subscription. If no Order Form exists, then the Initial Term shall commence on the day you first access the API. If your API purchase is for a specific term (as set forth in your Order Form), such termination will be effective on the last day of the then-current term, or in the case of a month-to-month order, upon written notice of your desire to terminate the Order Form at the end of the applicable month.

 

Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, after the Initial Term, your access to the APIs will automatically renew for additional 12-month periods (“Renewal Term”), unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the current term expires.

 

b. Termination

 

i. You may stop using our APIs at any time with or without notice. Further, if you want to terminate the Terms, you must provide Clearview with prior written notice and upon termination, cease your use of the applicable APIs. Clearview reserves the right to terminate the Terms with you or discontinue the APIs or any portion or feature or your access thereto for any reason and at any time without liability or other obligation to you or any third party.

 

ii. Clearview reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the APIs at any time and without prior notice if, in its sole and absolute discretion, it determines that you have breached any of the provisions of these Terms. Such suspension or termination shall be effective immediately and no refunds will be considered for accounts terminated for violation of these Terms.

 

iii. Either party may terminate these Terms (i) if the other party breaches its material obligations and fails to cure within 30 days of receipt of written notice, or (ii) if the other party becomes insolvent or bankrupt, liquidated or is dissolved, or ceases substantially all of its business. If you terminate pursuant to this Section VIII(b)(i), we will provide you with a pro rata refund of any prepaid, unused fees.

 

iv. Once terminated, Clearview may permanently delete your account and all the data associated with it. If you don’t log in to your account for six (6) or more months, or we receive a bounceback that your email is no longer in service, we may treat your account as "inactive" and permanently delete the account and all the data associated with it.

 

v. In Clearview’s sole and absolute discretion, if these Terms or your access to an API is terminated, your account may be converted to a “free” or “basic” version of the service, if available. Otherwise, you will immediately discontinue all use of the APIs, except that upon request, we may provide you with limited access to the APIs for a period not to exceed seven (7) days, solely to enable you to retrieve your API Content (defined below). We have no obligation to maintain your API Content after that period. Neither party will be liable for any damages resulting from termination of the Agreement, and termination will not affect any claim arising prior to the effective termination date. If we discontinue the APIs or materially reduce the core functionality, the related Order Form will be terminated and we will provide you with a pro rata refund of any prepaid, unused fees. You agree to pay for any use of the APIs past the date of expiration or termination which have not been converted to a free version of the APIs.

 

“Content” means any data, files, documents, events, execution logs, and similar data that we maintain on your or your users’ behalf, as well as any other information you or your users may upload to your account in connection with the APIs.

Upon any termination of the Terms or discontinuation of your access to an API, you will immediately stop using the API, cease all use of the Clearview Brand Features, and delete any cached or stored content that was permitted by the cache header under Section 5. Clearview may independently communicate with any account owner whose account(s) are associated with your API Program and developer credentials to provide notice of the termination of your right to use an API. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms or your access to an API, or upon written request of Clearview, you shall (i) promptly destroy or return the APIs in whatever form they may be held by you, including the destruction or return of any and all documents and other materials associated with such APIs and all copies thereof., and (ii) confirm in writing (in a form to be approved by Clearview) to Clearview that you have complied with the obligations set forth in this Section.

X. PAYMENT POLICY

​

a. Credit Cards

The cost to use or access our APIs will be as set forth on your Order Form or on-line registration form.  If there is a charge associated with your APIs, when you sign up to use the Clearview APIs, we will charge your credit card a monthly prorated amount for the respective plan you’ve selected, or immediately upon the expiration of the trial period unless you manually change your plan to “Canceled Plan”. Thereafter, we will charge your card on the 1st of every month for the full month. We do not offer full or partial refunds under any circumstance. It is your responsibility to cancel your plan or contract at the expiration of the applicable trial period in time. In the event that Clearview is unable to process your payment for the APIs, you will have seven (7) days to provide new credit card information to pay for the APIs, otherwise your access to the products may be suspended or terminated by Clearview in its sole discretion.

 

b. Price Changes

We reserve the right to increase prices for the APIs, change or discontinue plans at any point and in our sole discretion. We will provide you with 30 days written notice prior to instituting the change. If you wish to cancel, upgrade or downgrade plans after being notified of the change, you must do so within the 30-day period or we will assign you a new plan and bill you accordingly based on your usage.     

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pricing listed in your Order Form will supersede any such changes during the specific term period identified in the Order Form. During any applicable Renewal Term, the fees shall be as mutually agreed upon by the parties.

 

c. Payment Information

All paid plans must enter a valid payment account. You are responsible for providing accurate and current billing, contact and payment information to us. You agree that we may take steps to verify whether your payment method is valid, charge your payment card or bill you for all amounts due for your use of the APIs. You agree that your credit card information and related personal data may be provided to third parties for payment processing and fraud prevention purposes. We may suspend or terminate your access to the APIs if at any time we determine that your payment information is inaccurate or not current, and you are responsible for fees and overdraft charges that we may incur when we charge your card for payment. You agree to pay all applicable, undisputed fees for the APIs on the terms set forth on the invoice or Order Form. Except as otherwise provided for herein, any and all payments you make to us for access to the APIs are final and non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open account.

 

d. Late Payments

Any amounts arising in relation to these Terms not paid when due will be subject to a late charge of one and one-half percent (1 1/2 %) per month on the unpaid balance or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less. Without prejudice to your rights set out elsewhere in these Terms, all fees are non-refundable and payable in advance. If you cancel for convenience, you will not receive a refund for any service already paid for. If you fail to pay an invoice when due and payable, Clearview has the right (without limitation of any other remedies hereunder or under applicable law or in equity) to immediately suspend or restrict your access to the APIs, or to revoke or suspend (in whole or in part) the revocable license granted herein.

 

e. Taxes

The fees covered by these Terms are exclusive of any excise, sales, use, gross-turnover, value added, goods and services tax or other similar types of indirect taxes, duties or tariffs (however designated, levied or based and whether foreign or domestic) (“Indirect Taxes”) imposed or levied, currently or in the future based on applicable legislation, on the APIs provided under these Terms or the Order Form. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, you will be liable for compliance with and payment of such Indirect Taxes. Clearview shall include the Indirect Taxes on its invoice to you and remit such Indirect Taxes to the relevant authority if required by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, Clearview will be responsible for direct taxes imposed on Clearview’s net income or gross receipts.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are exempt from applicable taxes incurred or to be charged under these Terms, then you shall provide Clearview with a properly executed certificate of such tax exemption. Clearview shall give effect to such certificate on a prospective basis from the date of receipt from you, all of which is subject to applicable law.

c. General Legal Terms

We each agree to contract in the English language. If we provide a translation of the Terms, we do so for your convenience only and the English Terms will solely govern our relationship. The Terms do not create any third party beneficiary rights or any agency, partnership, or joint venture. Nothing in the Terms will limit either party's ability to seek injunctive relief. We are not liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If you do not comply with the Terms, and Clearview does not take action right away, this does not mean that Clearview is waiving or giving up any rights that it may have (such as taking action in the future). If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms. The Terms are the entire agreement between you and Clearview relating to its subject and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. If you wish to contact us, please visit our Contact page for further information.  

 

Except as set forth below: (i) the laws of New York, U.S.A. will apply to any disputes arising out of or related to the Terms or the APIs and (ii) ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TERMS OR THE APIS WILL BE LITIGATED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS OF NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, USA, AND YOU AND CLEARVIEW TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THOSE COURTS.

 

d. Notices

All notices permitted or required by these Terms will be via electronic mail (“email”), and will be deemed to have been delivered and received upon sending via any nationally recognized and trusted SMTP delivery service. Notices shall be delivered to the addresses on record which, if to Clearview AI shall be to legal-requests@clearview.ai and info@clearview.ai and if to Customer shall be to the email address set forth on the Order Form or on file in your Clearview AI.
