Beacons provides fans with different opportunities to connect with their favorite online Creators, including giving a donation, making requests, purchasing products, shopping and making appointments with such Creators. Beacons provides Creators with the necessary tools to run their businesses, all in one place.

  1. How Our Services Work.
    1. Beacons Pages. Beacons provides a Link in Bio app that allows certain creators, including individuals creating any type of content, whether online or offline (“Creators”) to create and customize a Beacons page that helps Creators connect with their fans, including other Creators (“Fans”) through the Website or Application, in a number of different ways, including:
      1. Donation. If a Fan wants to donate to a Creator, a Fan can elect to provide the Creator with a donation in an amount of the Fan’s choosing (each, a “Donation”). 
      2. Request. If a Fan wants to request any specific action offered by the Creator (e.g., feedback, coaching, Q&A session, TikTok duet, 1-on-1 video chat, etc.) on a Creator’s Beacons page (each, a “Request”), a Fan can make such Request through the Website or Application at the price offered by the Creator. 
      3. Store. The Store app allows Creators to offer digital and/or physical products (each, a “Product”) on each Creator’s Beacons page, and Fans can purchase any such Product(s) through the Website or Application at the price offered by the Creator. In offering such Products, Creator is prohibited from selling the following types of Products: (i) any Product that promotes illegal or unlawful activity, violence or hate speech; (ii) any Product that disparages or defames any person, entity, brand or business; and (iii) any Product that may otherwise include or be deemed Objectionable Content (as defined below) or violate Beacons’ Community Standards.
      4. Shopping. A Creator may upload images, text and social media videos (including, but not limited to, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) on his or her Beacons page with tagged items that Fans may purchase through the Website or the App.
      5. Appointment. If a Fan wants to make an appointment with a Creator for any specific length of time (each, an “Appointment”), a Fan can schedule any such Appointment through the Website or Application at the price offered by the Creator. 
    2. Beacons Creator Suite. Beacons provides a suite of apps, including Beacons’ Link in Bio and Store apps described above, as well as the following other apps, to help Creators more seamlessly run their businesses and reach audiences and brands:
      1. Post Activity. The Post Activity app allows you to track your optimal posting schedule through planning and analyzing of your posts across all relevant social media platforms. 
      2. Audience Manager. The Audience Manager app allows you to build stronger relationships with your Fans by organizing the information provided by your Fans, learning who your Fans are and how your Fans interact with Your Content (as defined below).
      3. Email Marketing. The Email Marketing app allows you to setup and send emails directly to your audience of Fans.
      4. Link Shortener. The Link Shortener app allows you to create custom URLs that are short and sharable, and provides a centralized place to track analytics for all of your short links.
      5. Media Kit. The Media Kit app allows you to carefully craft your online portfolio that shows your following, engagement, demographics and past work and communicates to brands why you will be a great partner.
      6. Invoicing. The Invoicing app allows you to send, track and follow up on invoices and provides visibility into when each invoice is sent, due and paid. 
      7. Pricing Calculator. The Pricing Calculator app allows you to find your base rates to pitch brands for sponsored posts according to your platform, media type and follower counts. 
      8. AI Brand Outreach. The AI Brand Outreach app allows you to use the AI tool to create personalized, professional emails to brands, incorporating information about the brand you are pitching to and adjusting for your preferred tone.  
      9. Income Dashboard. The Income Dashboard app provides a dashboard that consolidates all of your accounts and income, along with customized insights to help you grow your business. 
      10. W-9 Generator. The W-9 Generator app allows you to generate a W-9 with the correct information about the brand, partnership and payment for each brand deal, and to attach W-9s to invoices when you send to brands.

To access certain features of the Services, you may need to register an account or connect through a social networking account. You agree to provide true and accurate information when you register an Account on the Services.

By granting Beacons access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that Beacons may access, make available and store (if applicable) any information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags and/or other materials accessible through Beacons Properties (collectively, “Content”) that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (“SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through Beacons Properties via your Account.  Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, all SNS Content shall be considered to be Your Content (as defined in Section 7.1) for all purposes of the Agreement.  Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your Account on Beacons Properties. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Beacons’ access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through Beacons Properties. You have the ability to disable the connection between your Account and your Third-Party Accounts at any time by accessing the “Settings” section of the Website or Application. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND BEACONS DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE PROVIDED TO IT BY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS IN VIOLATION OF THE PRIVACY SETTINGS THAT YOU HAVE SET IN SUCH THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS.  Beacons makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to, for accuracy, legality or noninfringement, and Beacons is not responsible for any SNS Content.

You agree not to create an Account or use the Beacons Properties if you have been previously banned from the Beacons Properties.

    8. You will comply with all rules, regulations and requirements of any union or guild having jurisdiction over Creator, including by making any payments (including health and pension payments) required by any union or guild in respect of such individuals;
    9. You agree that this Agreement creates an independent contractor relationship and it is your and Beacons’ express intent that the relationship be interpreted and held to be that of an independent contractor for all purposes. You agree that you are not a joint venturer, franchisee, partner, agent or employee of Beacons, and you will not represent yourself as such. 

If a fan makes a donation or purchases a request, appointment and/or product, the fan will be charged the agreed upon amount. If a Creator purchases a Subscription, we will charge a Subscription Fee, which the Creator agrees will be charged with the payment information provided to us at the beginning of each subscription period until canceled. Our Payment Processor will collect all fees and pay creators the owed amounts, less credit card fees and Beacons’ commission.

  1. Payments Fees and Subscription Terms.
    1. General.  You agree to pay all fees or charges in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable, as set forth on Beacons’ pricing page available at https://beacons.ai/i/pricing-plans, or as otherwise provided by a Creator on his or her Beacons landing page.  You must provide Beacons with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) or PayPal account (“Payment Provider”) in order to purchase any of the options and/or subscriptions offered on the Services. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card or PayPal account, and you must refer to that agreement and not the Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities.  By providing Beacons with your credit card number or PayPal account and associated payment information, you agree that Beacons is authorized to immediately invoice your account for all fees and charges due and payable to Beacons hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required.  You agree to immediately notify Beacons of any change in your billing address or the credit card or PayPal account used for payment hereunder.  Beacons reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on Beacons Properties or by e-mail delivery to you.
    2. Subscription Automatic Renewal for Creators.  As a Paid Creator User, you will be responsible for payment of the applicable subscription fee for the Services (the “Subscription Fee”). Your subscription as a Paid Creator User will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the Agreement. After your initial monthly subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at Beacons’ then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription prior to the Renewal Commencement Date by logging into your Account and going to your “Account Settings” page found at the bottom of the left hand navigation bar and clicking the “Downgrade” option under the “Subscription” section.  If you want to change your subscription details, you can manage your subscription by logging into your Account and going to your “Account Settings” page found at the bottom of the left hand navigation bar and clicking the “Manage Subscription” option under the "Subscription” section.  If you cancel your subscription, you will not be able to use the features offered within the subscription immediately upon cancellation; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires.  However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Subscription Fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize Beacons to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if Beacons does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that Beacons may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
    3. Payments to Creator. Fans may provide any amount for a Donation, but Creators have the ability to set the prices displayed to Fans for any Requests, Products and/or Appointments offered on the Services. Creator acknowledges and agrees that the relevant Payment Processor is entitled to collect the Gross Revenues (as defined below), and that prior to paying Creator, the relevant Payment Processor will deduct any credit card processing fees associated with the payment by such Payment Processor to Creator of such Gross Revenues, and Beacons shall retain a percentage of the Gross Revenues. “Gross Revenues” means all revenue received by Beacons from any Donation, Request, Product and/or Appointment transaction with a Fan.  The relevant Payment Processor will then remit the remaining amount to Creator. 
    4. Taxes.  The payments required under Section 5.2 of this Agreement do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement.  If Beacons determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Beacons shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under Section 5.2 of this Agreement.  If any Services, or payments for any Services, under the Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Beacons, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Beacons for any liability or expense Beacons may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes.  Upon Beacons’ request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes.  For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
    5. Withholding Taxes.  You agree to make all payments of fees to Beacons free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes.  Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Beacons will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide Beacons with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
    6. Disputes.  You must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement, if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived.  Billing disputes should be notified to the following address: Beacons AI Inc., 2261 Market St. #4319, San Francisco, CA 94114.
    7. Third Party Service Provider.  Beacons uses Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) and PayPal as its third party service providers for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services) (each, a “Third-Party Service Provider”).  If you make a purchase on the Beacons Properties, you will be required to provide your payment details and any additional information required to complete your order directly to our Third-Party Service Provider.  You agree to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/privacy) and its Terms of Service (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/ssa) and hereby consent and authorize the Company, Stripe and/or PayPal to share any information and payment instructions you provide with one or more Third-Party Service Provider(s) to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.  Please note that online payment transactions may be subject to validation checks by our Third-Party Service Provider and your card issuer, and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason.  For your protection, our Third-Party Service Provider uses various fraud prevention protocols and industry standard verification systems to reduce fraud and you authorize it to verify and authenticate your payment information.  Your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee.  We are not responsible for this.  In some jurisdictions, our Third-Party Service Provider may use third parties under strict confidentiality and data protection requirements for the purposes of payment processing services.
    8. Free Trials and Other Promotions. Any free trial or other promotion that provides Paid Creator User level access to the Services must be used within the specified time of the trial. At the end of the trial period, your use of the Services will expire and any further use of the Services is prohibited unless you pay the applicable Service Subscription Fee for any such Paid Creator User level access. 

You are solely responsible for any agreement you enter into with a fan and/or an creator, and Beacons is not a party to any such agreement.

  1. Relationship of the Parties. Any agreements created between a Fan and a Creator are not binding on us. We are not liable for, or obligated to enforce, any agreements between a Fan and a Creator, including any Request, Product and/or Appointment to be provided by a Creator. You will not consider Beacons, nor will Beacons be construed as, a party to such transactions, whether or not Beacons receives some form of remuneration in connection with the transaction, and Beacons will not be liable for any costs or damages arising out of or related to such transaction. No contractual obligations are created with us with respect to such transactions or agreements, and in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release Beacons (and our officers, directors, agents, investors, subsidiaries, and employees) from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. 

We are not responsible for any Content posted on the Website, Application or through the Services. Each User is responsible for the Content such user submits.

  1. Content.
    1. Types of Content.  You may share or upload Content through the Beacons Properties , including by way of your prompts, comments, questions and other input to the Beacons Properties (collectively, “Input”).

In response to any prompts, comments, questions, and other Input that you provide to the Beacons Properties, the Beacons Properties, together with AI Services may generate new Content (“Output”).  You acknowledge that the Outputs are based on your Inputs, and that Beacons has no control over any such Inputs. Accordingly, all Outputs are provided “as is” and with “all faults”, and Beacons makes no representations or warranties of any kind or nature with respect to any Inputs or Outputs, including any warranties of accuracy, completeness, truthfulness, timeliness or suitability.

    2. Ownership of Your Content.  Beacons does not claim ownership of any Input or Outputs (collectively, “Your Content”).  Subject to Section 7.3 (License to Your Content), as between the Beacons and you, you are the owner of all right, title and interest in Your Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, given the nature of the Service, you acknowledge that: (a) Output may not be unique across users and the Beacons Properties may generate the same or similar output for another user under similar terms; and (b) Beacons does not represent or warrant that the Outputs are protectible by any intellectual property rights under applicable law.
    3. License to Your Content.  Subject to any applicable account settings that you select, you grant Beacons a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive and fully sublicensable right (including any moral rights) and license to use, license, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform, and publicly display, Your Content (in whole or in part), in any medium or manner, now known or hereafter devised, for the purposes of operating and providing the Beacons Properties to you and to our other users.  Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge that Your Content may be used by Beacons, or third-party providers of the AI Services, to train, develop, enhance, evolve and improve the Service and the underlying artificial intelligence models, algorithms and related technology, products and services (including for labeling, classification, content moderation and model training purposes), as well as for marketing and promotional purposes. You acknowledge and agree that Beacons may use and share Your Content and any information resulting from your use of the Services as set forth in Beacons’ Privacy Policy (https://beacons.ai/i/beacons-privacy-policy), which may be updated from time to time, and for Beacons’ legitimate business purposes.
    4. AI Services. The Beacons Properties may utilize certain publicly available artificial intelligence and deep learning platforms, algorithms, tools and models (“AI Services”) to generate Output.  You acknowledge and agree that Beacons may share your Inputs with the AI Services for this purpose and such AI Services may not be required to maintain the confidentiality of any of Your Content.  Further,  You understand that additional license requirements may apply to certain AI Services, including that such AI Services may retain certain rights to use or disclose Your Content, including to further train their algorithmic models.  You must review and comply with such requirements for the AI Services used.  You assume all risks associated with your use of such AI Services.  Beacons will have no liability for the unavailability of any AI Services, or any third party’s decision to discontinue, suspend or terminate any AI Services.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Beacons agree that any dispute, claim, disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services or the Agreement and prior versions of the Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and Beacons may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or Beacons may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.  
    2. Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Beacons. If that occurs, Beacons is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Beacons agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Beacons therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to Beacons that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to [email protected] or regular mail to our offices located at Beacons AI Inc., 2261 Market St. #4319, San Francisco, CA 94114. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, email address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

  1. Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND BEACONS HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Beacons are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the subsection entitled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

  1. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.  YOU AND BEACONS AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THE SUBSECTION ENTITLED “BATCH ARBITRATION”, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party's individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Beacons agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of California. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Beacons from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

  1. Rules and Forum.  The Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and Beacons agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration. 

If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.  

Unless you and Beacons otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.  

You and Beacons agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential. 

  1. Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.

  1. Authority of Arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

  1. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Beacons need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. 

  1. Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Beacons agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Beacons by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).

All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Beacons.

You and Beacons agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.

This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.

  1. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: Beacons AI Inc., 2261 Market St. #4319, San Francisco, CA 94114, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

  1. Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief”, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with Beacons as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.

  1. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Beacons makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change become effective by writing to Beacons at Beacons AI Inc., 2261 Market St. #4319, San Francisco, CA 94114, your continued use of the Services following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of this Agreement and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products distributed through the Services or this Agreement, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to Agreement) remain in full force and effect. Beacons will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of this Agreement.

You consent to receiving electronic communications from us. You release us from any losses related to your use of the Services. You agree you will not assign this Agreement to a third party without our consent. We are not liable for events that are not within our control, like natural disasters. You can contact us if you have questions or complaints. Delaware law governs this Agreement. You must provide us with an accurate e-mail address and notify us when it changes. If you or we fail to enforce this Agreement on one occasion, that does not mean you or we cannot enforce it on another occasion. If any part of this agreement is not enforceable, the rest of the Agreement remains in effect. You may not transfer the Services to persons and entities outside the United States. You may report complaints in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1789.3. This Agreement alone controls our relationship.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
    3. Assignment.  The Agreement, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Beacons’ prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Beacons by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
    8. Waiver.  Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
    9. Severability.  If any provision of the Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Agreement will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

We provide a Referral Program that allows you to receive monetary rewards when you share your unique referral link to a new user and that new user uses that referral link to purchase a Paid Creator Account. 

  1. REFERRAL PROGRAM. The Beacons Referral Program (the “Referral Program”) allows Account holders (“Referrers”) the opportunity to receive certain rewards for referring other individuals (“Friends”) to register an Account, if a Friend uses the Referrer’s referral link or code (“Referral Link”). This Section 20, in addition to the foregoing terms and any additional terms published in a referral invitation or otherwise associated with any particular Referral Program offer or promotional code (“Additional Referral Terms”), shall govern the Referral Program. 
    1. Sharing Referral Links and Earning Rewards. Subject to these Referral Program Terms, Referrers can earn a Reward (as defined below) if: (a) Referrer refers a Friend (“Referred Friend”) to Beacons through the Referral Link, available at Beacons’ Referrals page: https://account.beacons.ai/account/home/referrals; and (b) such Referred Friend is not an existing Account holder (“Reward Criteria”). You may not refer Friends by any automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other means. All Referred Friends must be individuals who possess an independent, genuine desire to engage with Beacons and are familiar with the Referrer. “Reward” means twenty-five percent (25%) of any amount Beacons received from a Referrer’s Referred Friend in connection with Paid Creator Account purchased as a result of a Referrer’s Referral Link. Referrers are responsible for any tax consequences that may result from receipt of any Rewards. Rewards may be cashed out by Referrers through PayPal or Stripe, as set forth at: https://help.beacons.ai/en/articles/8214559-beacons-referral-program
    2. Reservation of Rights. Beacons may suspend or terminate the Referral Program or your ability to participate in it at any time for any reason. For example, we reserve the right to review and investigate all referral activities, and to suspend Accounts or revoke or void earned Incentives in our sole discretion if we notice any activity that we believe is abusive, fraudulent, in violation this Agreement or any Additional Referral Terms, or otherwise as we deem fair and appropriate. We also reserve the right to deactivate Referral Links or change the Incentives associated with the use of any Referral Link or Referral Program offer at any time for any reason.

Without limiting the foregoing, Beacons reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to retroactively revoke or void any Incentive that it deems, in its sole discretion, to be procured (a) in violation of this Agreement, including without limitation, not in accordance with the Reward Criteria; or (b) in association with content that Beacons deems offensive or inappropriate in its sole discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, such content includes all forms of pornography, obscenity, indecent language and content that incites or endorses hate or violence, is demeaning, disparages or damages the goodwill, reputation, or brand image of Beacons, or incites or endorses discrimination in any form.

  1. Multiple Referrals. A Referred Friend may only use one Referral Link. If a referred individual receives Referral Links from multiple individuals, only the Referrer associated with the Referral Link actually used by the Referred Friend to sign-up for a Paid Creator Account will receive credit for the referral.

Beacons will have no liability for any unavailability of any Connected Account, or any third-party provider’s decision to discontinue, suspend or terminate any Connected Account. Manager acknowledges that Beacons has no control over, or other ability or obligation with respect to the maintenance, upkeep, status or support of any Connected Accounts or other component thereof, including the accuracy, timeliness, reliability, or completeness of any Connected Account Data.  Beacons will have no liability with respect to any acts, omissions, reliance, delays, errors or other liabilities arising from or related to any downtime, unavailability, inaccuracies or failures of any Connected Accounts.
    4. Artificial Intelligence Tools.  Subject to this Agreement, Beacons makes available to Manager certain artificial intelligence tools in connection with Manager’s use of the Platform (collectively, the “AI Tools”).  Except where expressly specified otherwise in this Agreement, the AI Tools constitute a “Service” for the purposes of the Agreement and the Agreement shall apply in full to Manager’s use of the AI Tools.   Certain AI Tools leverage third party large language models and artificial intelligence algorithms and platforms (“Third-Party Services”) to generate suggested text, information, results, images, and other content (collectively, the “Output”) in response to the Manager’s inputs (“Inputs”). Beacons does not make any representations with respect to Third-Party Services or any Output provided in connection therewith.  Such Third-Party Services are not under the control of Beacons and do not form part of the Platform. Beacons is not responsible for any Third-Party Services or Output generated thereby and Manager uses such Third-Party Services and Output at its own risk. As between the parties, each of the Inputs and Outputs are considered “Manager Content” for the purposes of the Agreement, provided that such Inputs may be provided to Third-Party Services in order for Manager to access the AI Tools.
    5. Responsible Use of AI Tools. Manager shall comply with all obligations and commitments in the Agreement with respect to Manager Content in connection with Manager’s use of the AI Tools. Manager is solely responsible for the Inputs, its Outputs and its use thereof.  Without limiting the disclaimers in Section 7.3 below, Manager is responsible for reviewing any Output prior to its use and exercising its own business and legal judgment as to its suitability for use. Without limiting the foregoing and Manager’s representations and warranties under the Agreement, Manager shall not use any Inputs or Output that: (a) infringe or misappropriate any third party’s intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights; (b) are deceptive, discriminatory, biased, unethical, defamatory, obscene, pornographic or illegal; (c) contain any viruses, worms or other malicious computer programming codes that may damage the Platform; or (d) contain any personal information, such as financial, medical or other sensitive personal information such as government IDs, passport numbers or social security numbers. Beacons reserves the right to suspend or terminate Manager’s or any Authorized User’s access to the AI Tools for any failure by Manager or an Authorized User to comply with this Section. In addition to the foregoing, Manager’s obligations under the Agreement with respect to use of the Platform, its representations and warranties and indemnification obligations, shall apply in full with respect to Manager’s use of the AI Tools. Manager acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the automated suggestions provided by the AI Tools, it remains solely responsible for the content, legality, accuracy, and completeness of the Outputs, and any use thereof.
    6. Manager Responsibility for Data and Security.  Manager and its Authorized Users shall be responsible for all changes to and/or deletions of Manager Content and the security of all passwords and other Access Protocols required in order the access the Platform.  Beacons is not responsible for performing, and is not liable for any failure to perform, any back-up of any Manager Content. Beacons has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any Manager Content; the failure to store, transmit or receive transmission of Manager Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the Platform.  Certain features may enable Manager or its Authorized Users to specify the level at which the Platform restricts access to Manager Content.  Manager and its Authorized Users are solely responsible for applying the appropriate level of access to Manager Content.  Manager agrees that Beacons retains the right to create reasonable limits on Manager’s use and storage of the Manager Content, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits described on the Platform and as otherwise determined by Beacons in its sole discretion.
  4. Ownership.
    1. Beacons Intellectual Property.  The Website, Platform, Documentation, and all worldwide Intellectual Property Rights in each of the foregoing, are the exclusive property of Beacons and its suppliers.  All rights in and to the Platform and Documentation not expressly granted to Manager in this Agreement are reserved by Beacons and its suppliers.  Except as expressly set forth herein, no express or implied license or right of any kind is granted to Manager regarding the Platform and Documentation, or any part thereof, including any right to obtain possession of any source code, data or other technical material related to the Platform.
    2. Manager Content.   Manager is solely responsible for any and all obligations with respect to the accuracy, quality and legality of Manager Content.  Manager will obtain all third-party licenses, consents and permissions needed for Beacons to use the Manager Content to provide the Platform, including, without limitation, consent from Creators to link their accounts to the Platform.  Without limiting the foregoing, Manager will be solely responsible for obtaining from third parties all necessary rights for Beacons to use the Manager Content submitted by or on behalf of Manager for the purposes set forth in this Agreement.  Manager grants Beacons a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and fully paid license during the Order Term to use the Manager Content as necessary for purposes of providing and/or improving the Platform.  Manager acknowledges and agrees that Beacons may use and share Manager Content as set forth in Beacons’ Privacy Policy (https://beacons.ai/i/beacons-privacy-policy), which may be updated from time to time, and for Beacons’ legitimate business purposes. The Manager Content hosted by Beacons as part of the Platform, and all worldwide Intellectual Property Rights in it, is the exclusive property of Manager.  All rights in and to the Manager Content not expressly granted to Beacons in this Agreement are reserved by Manager.
    3. Aggregated Data.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Beacons may monitor Manager’s use of the Platform and collect and compile Aggregated Data.  As between Beacons and Manager, all right, title, and interest in Aggregated Data, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by Beacons.  Manager agrees that Beacons may (i) make Aggregated Data publicly available in compliance with applicable law, and (ii) use Aggregated Data to the extent and in the manner permitted under applicable law; provided that such Aggregated Data does not identify Manager or Manager’s Confidential Information.
    4. Feedback.  If Manager or any of its employees or contractors sends or transmits any communications or materials to Beacons by mail, email, telephone, or otherwise, suggesting or recommending changes to Beacons’ intellectual property, including without limitation, new features or functionality relating thereto, or any comments, questions, suggestions, or the like (“Feedback”), Beacons is free to use such Feedback irrespective of any other obligation or limitation between the parties governing such Feedback.  Manager hereby assigns to Beacons on Manager’s behalf, and on behalf of its employees, contractors and/or agents, all right, title, and interest in, and Beacons is free to use, without any attribution or compensation to any party, any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other Intellectual Property Rights contained in the Feedback, for any purpose whatsoever, although Beacons is not required to use any Feedback.
  5. Confidentiality.
    1. Confidential Information. In connection with the Agreement, each party may obtain information of the other party which is either conspicuously labeled or marked as confidential or proprietary or which would be understood by a reasonable businessperson to be confidential to the provider of such information (“Confidential Information”). All Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of the party disclosing such Confidential Information.
    2. Obligations. Each party agrees: (i) to take all reasonable steps necessary to maintain the confidentiality of any such Confidential Information and not to disclose such Confidential Information without the other party’s prior written consent; (ii) to not use or copy any Confidential Information for any purpose other than in direct furtherance of the purposes of the Agreement; and (iii) that their obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Agreement for a period of three (3) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party’s confidentiality obligations shall not apply to the extent that disclosed Confidential Information: (a) is already known to the other party without an obligation of confidentiality; (b) becomes publicly available through no fault of the other party; (c) is received from a third party rightfully and without restriction; (d) is independently developed without exposure to or use of the Confidential Information; or (e) is required to be disclosed by law, provided the disclosing party is provided reasonable notice prior to any such disclosure. The terms and conditions of the Agreement shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of each party.
    3. Injunctive Relief. Each party agrees that a breach of its obligations under this Section would cause the other party irreparable injury, for which monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other remedy, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach, without proving actual damage or posting a bond or other security.
  6. Fees; Payment Terms.
    1. Fees; Invoices. In consideration for access to the Platform, Manager agrees to pay to Beacons any fees or charges for the Platform presented at checkout (“Fees”), according to the pricing page, as may be updated from time to time (“Pricing Page”). Manager shall provide Beacons information regarding its payment method and any additional information required to complete payment of Fees directly to Beacons or Beacons’ third-party service provider for payment services (“Third-Party Service Provider”), as specified by Beacons. By providing Beacons and/or Beacons’ Third-Party Service Provider with Manager’s payment information, Manager agrees that Beacons and/or Beacons’ Third-Party Service Provider is authorized to immediately charge Manager’s provided payment method every month and that no additional notice or consent is required.  Manager must provide current, complete, and accurate information for Manager's billing account and promptly update all information to keep Manager's billing account current, complete, and accurate.  Manager’s failure to provide accurate payment information to Beacons and/or Beacons’ Third-Party Service Provider or Beacons’ inability to collect payment constitutes Manager’s material breach of this Agreement. Fees paid by Manager are non-refundable, except as provided in this Agreement or when required by law. If there are no valid payment methods on file for Manager, Beacons may send Manager invoices for the balance of any amounts due. If Manager believes that Beacons has billed Manager incorrectly or that Manager has been charged incorrectly, Manager must contact Beacons no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit.  
    2. Recurring Fees. For any recurring fees for the Platform, the billing cycle will be indicated at the time of checkout, and in such case, the applicable recurring Fees for any subsequent billing cycle will be charged at Beacons’ then-current list price as set forth on the Pricing Page, until the Agreement is terminated. Manager must terminate this Agreement in order to avoid billing of the recurring Fees to Manager. By purchasing a subscription to the Platform, Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Platform has a recurring payment feature and Manager accepts responsibility for all recurring charges prior to termination.
    3. Taxes. All Fees are exclusive of any taxes, duties or surcharges that are imposed or authorized by regulatory or governmental entities, including but not limited to sales, use, gross receipts taxes, surcharges, franchise fees, occupational, excise, universal service (state and federal) taxes, duties, customs fees, levies, and surcharges (collectively “Taxes”) in connection with Manager’s use of the Platform, and Manager shall be solely responsible for the prompt payment of such Taxes set forth on an invoice. Manager shall make all payments of Fees to Beacons free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of Fees to Beacons shall be Manager’s sole responsibility, and Manager shall provide Beacons with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
  7. Limited Warranty; Disclaimer.
    1. Limited Warranty.  Beacons represents and warrants to Manager during the Term the Platform will operate free from Errors.  Beacons’ sole liability and Manager’s sole remedy in the event of a breach of the foregoing warranty is the provision of support in accordance with Section 2.3.   This warranty gives Manager specific legal rights, and Manager may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.  THE FOREGOING WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY, AND BEACONS STRICTLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.
    2. Manager Warranty. Manager represents and warrants to Beacons that: (1) Manager owns the Manager Content and/or Connected Application Data, or has the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Beacons to use the Manager Content and/or Connected Application Data in accordance with this Agreement; (2) Manager Content and the use of Manager Content as contemplated by this Agreement does not and will not: (a) infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third-party right, including any Intellectual Property Right; (b) violate, or cause Beacons to violate, any law or regulation; (c) contain any viruses, worms or other malicious computer programming codes intended to damage Beacons’ system or data; or (d) violate Beacons’ Community Standards, available at https://beacons.ai/i/beacons-community-standards; and (3) Manager will use the Platform in compliance with the Documentation, any instructions provided by Beacons, and applicable law. 
    3. Disclaimer.  EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, BEACONS MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PLATFORM, DOCUMENTATION, AGGREGATED DATA, SERVICES OR OTHERWISE, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. THE PLATFORM AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” BEACONS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM AND DOCUMENTATION WILL SATISFY MANAGER’S REQUIREMENTS, ARE WITHOUT DEFECT OR ERROR, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. THE AI TOOLS ARE INTENDED AS OUTPUT GENERATION TOOLS ONLY AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, ACCOUNTING, OR OTHER ADVICE OF A CERTIFIED OR QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL AND BEACONS MAKES NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTY THAT THE OUTPUT WILL PROVIDE ACCURATE, TAILORED OR INFORMATIVE RESULTS OR BE FIT FOR THE PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE CASE. BEACONS DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE MANAGER IS THE LEGAL OWNER OF THE OUTPUT, OR THAT THE INPUT OR OUTPUT ARE PROTECTABLE BY ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR THAT THE OUTPUT DOES NOT INCORPORATE, INFRINGE OR MISAPPROPRIATE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY. MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AI TOOLS LEVERAGE THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND THAT BEACONS IS NOT LIABLE, AND MANAGER AGREES NOT TO SEEK TO HOLD BEACONS LIABLE, FOR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, AND THAT THE RISK OF INJURY  FROM SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICES RESTS ENTIRELY WITH MANAGER. MANAGER SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGER’S USE OF THE AI TOOLS AND ANY OUTPUT RESULTING THEREFROM. MANAGER SHOULD EVALUATE THE FITNESS OF ANY OUTPUT AS APPROPRIATE FOR MANAGER’S SPECIFIC USE CASE. SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES. THIS SECTION WILL APPLY TO MANAGER SOLELY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 
  8. Indemnification. 
    1. By Manager. Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Beacons, its parent organizations, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, demands, assertions, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) and suits (“Claims”) brought against Beacons by a third party arising from or in connection with (i) Manager Content; (ii) use by Manager of Inputs and/or Outputs; (ii) Manager Indemnity Responsibilities (as defined below); and/or (iii) Manager’s breach of Section 3.
    2. By Beacons. Beacons shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Manager, its parent organizations, shareholders, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents against any and all Claims brought against Manager by a third party that the Platform infringes, misappropriates or violates any intellectual property right or other proprietary right of a third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beacons shall have no obligation or liability to the extent that an alleged infringement arises from (i) the combination, operation, or use of the Platform with products, services, information, materials, technologies, methods or processes not furnished or approved by Beacons; (ii) modifications to the Platform not made by Beacons; (iii) failure to use any updates to the Platform provided by Beacons; or (iv) use of the Platform in violation of this Agreement (circumstances under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), collectively, “Manager Indemnity Responsibilities”).
    3. Indemnification Procedures. Settlement by the indemnifying party shall only be done with the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The foregoing indemnities are conditioned on the indemnified party: (i) promptly giving written notice of the Claim to the indemnifying party; (ii) giving the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and related settlement negotiations, provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in any defense, and provided further that the indemnified party shall have the right to approve any settlement as provided in this subsection; and (iii) providing to the indemnifying party, at such party’s request and expense, all reasonable information and assistance necessary to perform its indemnification obligations hereunder.
  9. Limitation of Liability.
    1. Exclusion of Certain Damages.  EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR ITS BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREIN, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
    2. Liability Cap.  EXCEPT FOR MANAGER’S LIABILITY FOR ITS PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS AND ITS VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW; A PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR ITS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREIN; ITS BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREIN; OR FOR ITS GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY MANAGER TO BEACONS HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE FIRST CLAIM GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY AROSE.
    3. Scope.  For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusions and limitations set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 will apply with respect to all legal theories of liability, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise. The parties agree that the exclusions and limitations set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 allocate the risks between the parties under this Agreement, and that they have relied on these exclusions and limitations in determining whether to enter into this Agreement.
  10. Term and Termination.
    1. Term. The term of the Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall remain in effect for either one (1) month or one (1) year as purchased by the Manager, unless earlier terminated as provided hereunder (“Initial Term”). Thereafter, the Initial Term will automatically renew for successive monthly or annual  renewal terms based on the Initial Term that was purchased by Manager  (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless and until (a) Manager terminates the Agreement by notifying Beacons through instructions in Manager’s account on the Platform or otherwise consistent with Section 11.1 below, at least thirty (30) day prior to the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, or (b) Beacons terminates the Agreement by notifying Beacons through Beacons’ account on the Platform or otherwise consistent with Section 11.1 below, at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term. 
    2. Termination for Cause. Either party may immediately terminate the Agreement upon written notice if: (a) the other party materially breaches the Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days, following receipt of notice of such breach; (b) the other party becomes bankrupt or insolvent or fails to function as a going concern or to satisfy its debts as they become due or operate in the ordinary course; (c) there is an assignment by the other party for the benefit of creditors; (d) there is a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy filing by or against the other party; or (e) the other party breaches its confidentiality obligations hereunder.
    3. Effect of Termination. Termination of the Agreement shall not relieve Manager of its obligation to pay all Fees that have accrued and are indisputably owed by Manager prior to such termination. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement: (i) Beacons shall cease providing the Platform; and (ii) each party will promptly destroy or return to the other party all Confidential Information belonging to such party and certify in writing to the other party that all such Confidential Information has been so destroyed or returned.
  11. General Provisions.
    1. Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement must be delivered in writing, if to Beacons, by emailing [email protected] and if to Manager by emailing the e-mail address set forth within Manager’s account on the Platform, provided, however, that with respect to any notices relating to breaches of this Agreement or termination, a copy of such notice will also be sent in writing to the other party at the address listed above (with respect to Beacons) or within the Manager’s account (with respect to Manager) by courier, by certified or registered mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), or by a nationally-recognized express mail service. Each party may change its email address and/or address for receipt of notice by giving notice of such change to the other party.
    2. Independent Contractors.

    3. Export.  Manager agrees not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Beacons, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber agrees that Section 9 will remain in effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of any provision in Section 7.1.
    4. Waiver. Waiver by a party of any default by the other party of any provision of the Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other party. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
    5. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the court shall modify such provision for the benefit of the protected party to the maximum extent allowed by law, but in any event the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way.
    6. Assignment. Neither party shall assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other operation of law, without any consent of the other party. The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
    7. Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of Fees owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.
    8. Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. The Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California irrespective of its conflict of laws principles.

    9. Entire Agreement. The Agreement (including the executed Specific Terms and all exhibits) constitutes the entire agreement between Beacons and Manager with respect to the subject matters described and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous written and oral communications, agreements, understandings, and proposals, with respect to such subject matters. No representation, inducement, promise or agreement, oral or written has been made by any party or anyone acting on behalf of any party which is not contained herein, and any prior letters of intent, agreement, promises, negotiations, statements or representations not expressly set forth in this Agreement have not been relied upon in any respect and shall be of no force or effect.  Each party agrees and warrants that in entering into this Agreement, such party is solely relying upon the information contained in this Agreement and not in reliance upon any other information or omission.
