Welcome to Syntic AI! Before accessing our Services, please read these Commercial Terms of Service.
These Commercial Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between Syntic AI and you or the organization, company, or other entity that you represent ("Customer"). "Syntic AI" means Syntic AI Ireland, Limited if Customer resides in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), Switzerland, or UK, and Syntic AI, Inc. if Customer resides anywhere else. They govern Customer's use of Syntic AI API keys and any other Syntic AI offerings that reference these Terms, as well as all related Syntic AI tools, documentation, and services (the "Services"). These Terms are effective on the earlier of the date that Customer first electronically consents to a version of these Terms and the date that Customer first accesses the Services ("Effective Date").
Please note: You may not enter into these Terms on behalf of an organization, company, or other entity unless you have the legal authority to bind that entity. Services under these Terms are not for consumer use. Our consumer offerings (e.g., Syntic.ai) are governed by our Consumer Terms of Service instead.
Subject to these Terms, Syntic AI gives Customer permission to use the Services, including to power products and services Customer makes available to its own customers and end users ("Users").
Customer may elect (in its sole discretion) to use features, services, or other content made available by third parties to Customer through the Services ("Third Party Features"). Customer acknowledges and agrees that Third Party Features are not Services and, accordingly, Syntic AI is not responsible for them.
If Customer provides (in its sole discretion) Syntic AI with feedback regarding the Services, Syntic AI may use that feedback at its own risk and without obligation to Customer.
As between the parties and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Syntic AI agrees that Customer (a) retains all rights to its Inputs, and (b) owns its Outputs. Syntic AI disclaims any rights it receives to the Customer Content under these Terms. Subject to Customer's compliance with these Terms, Syntic AI hereby assigns to Customer its right, title, and interest (if any) in and to Outputs. Syntic AI may not train models on Customer Content from Services. "Inputs" means submissions to the Services by Customer or its Users and "Outputs" means responses generated by the Services to Inputs (Inputs and Outputs together are "Customer Content").
Data submitted through the Services will be processed in accordance with the Syntic AI Data Processing Addendum ("DPA"), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Each party will comply with all laws applicable to the provision (for Syntic AI) and use (for Customer) of the Services, including any applicable data privacy laws.
Customer and its Users may only use the Services in compliance with these Terms, including (a) the Usage Policy, (b) our policy on the countries and regions Syntic AI currently supports ("Supported Regions Policy"), and (c) our Service Specific Terms, each of which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. Customer must cooperate with reasonable requests for information from Syntic AI to support compliance with its Usage Policy, including to verify Customer's identity and use of the Services.
It is Customer's responsibility to evaluate whether Outputs are appropriate for Customer's use case, including where human review is appropriate, before using or sharing Outputs. Customer acknowledges, and must notify its Users, that factual assertions in Outputs should not be relied upon without independently checking their accuracy, as they may be false, incomplete, misleading, or not reflective of recent events or information. Customer further acknowledges that Outputs may contain content inconsistent with Syntic AI's views.
Customer may not and must not attempt to:
Customer is responsible for all activity under its account. Customer will promptly notify Syntic AI if Customer believes the account it uses to access the Services has been compromised, or is subject to a denial of service or similar malicious attack that may negatively impact the Services.
The parties may share information that is identified as confidential, proprietary, or similar, or that a party would reasonably understand to be confidential or proprietary ("Confidential Information"). Customer Content is Customer's Confidential Information.
The receiving party ("Recipient") may only use Confidential Information of the disclosing party ("Discloser") to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Terms. Recipient may only share Discloser's Confidential Information with Recipient's employees, agents, and advisors that have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound to obligations of confidentiality at least as protective as those provided in these Terms ("Representatives"). Recipient will protect Discloser's Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as Recipient protects its own Confidential Information, and with no less than reasonable care. Recipient is responsible for all acts and omissions of its Representatives.
Confidential Information excludes information that: (a) becomes publicly available through no fault of Recipient; (b) is obtained by Recipient from a third party without a breach of the third party's obligations of confidentiality; or (c) is independently developed by Recipient without use of Confidential Information. Recipient may disclose Discloser's Confidential Information to the extent required by law, or court or administrative order, and will, except where expressly prohibited, notify Discloser of the required disclosure promptly and fully cooperate with Discloser's efforts to prevent or narrow the scope of disclosure.
Recipient will destroy Discloser's Confidential Information promptly upon request, except where retained to comply with law or copies in Recipient's automated back-up systems, which will remain subject to these obligations of confidentiality while maintained.
Except as expressly stated in these Terms, these Terms do not grant either party any rights to the other's content or intellectual property, by implication or otherwise.
Syntic AI may use Customer's name and logo to publicly identify Customer as a customer of the Services; provided that Customer may opt out by contacting marketing@syntic.ai. Customer will consider in good faith any request by Syntic AI to (1) provide a quote from a Customer executive regarding Customer's motivation for using the Services that Syntic AI may use publicly, and (2) participate in a public co-marketing activity.
Customer is responsible for fees incurred by its account, at the rates specified on the Model Pricing Page, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. Syntic AI may require prepayment for the Services in the form of credits or offer other types of credits, all of which are subject to Syntic AI's Supplemental Credits Terms. Syntic AI may update the published rates, to be effective the earlier of 30 days after the updates are posted by Syntic AI or Customer otherwise receives Notice.
Fees do not include any taxes, duties, or assessments that may be owed by Customer for use of the Services ("Taxes"), unless otherwise specified in the applicable invoice. Customer is responsible for remitting any necessary withholding Taxes to the relevant authority on a timely basis and providing Syntic AI with evidence of the same upon request. Where law provides for the reduction or elimination of withholding taxes, including via tax treaty, the parties will collaborate in good faith to do so. For clarity, Customer must pay Syntic AI the amount ("Gross-up Payment") that will ensure that Syntic AI receives the same total amount that it would have received if no such withholding or reduction by Customer had been required (taking into account any and all applicable Taxes, including any Taxes imposed on the Gross-up Payment).
Failure to pay Syntic AI all amounts owed when due may result in suspension or termination of Customer's access to the Services. Syntic AI reserves any other rights of collection it may have.
These Terms start on the Effective Date and continue until terminated (the "Term").
Syntic AI may suspend Customer's access to any portion or all of the Services if: (a) Syntic AI reasonably believes or determines that (i) there is a risk to or attack on any of the Services; (ii) Customer or any User is using the Services in violation of Sections D.1, D.2, or D.4; or (iii) Syntic AI's provision of the Services to Customer is prohibited by applicable law or would result in a material increase in the cost of providing the Services; or (b) any vendor suspends or terminates Syntic AI's use of any third-party services or products required to enable Customer to access the Services (each, a "Service Suspension").
Syntic AI will use reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Service Suspension to Customer, and resume providing access to the Services as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured, where curable. Syntic AI will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Customer may incur because of a Service Suspension.
Upon termination, Customer may no longer access the Services. The following provisions will survive termination or expiration of these Terms: (a) Sections E (Confidentiality), G (Publicity), H (Fees), I (Termination and Suspension), J (Disputes), K (Indemnification), L.2 (Disclaimer of Warranties), L.3 (Limits on Liability), and M (Miscellaneous); (b) any provision or condition that must survive to fulfill its essential purpose.
In the event of a dispute, claim, or controversy relating to these Terms ("Dispute"), the parties will first attempt in good faith to informally resolve the matter. The party raising the Dispute must notify the other party ("Dispute Notice"). The other party will respond to the Dispute Notice in a timely manner. If the parties have not resolved the dispute within 45 days of delivery of the Dispute Notice, either party may seek to resolve the dispute through arbitration as stated in Section J.2.
Any Dispute will be determined in English by final, binding arbitration according to the region-specific processes below. Judgment on any award issued through the arbitration process in this section may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
EACH PARTY AGREES THEY ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND THE RIGHT TO JOIN AND PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER THE LAW IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS.
This Section J does not limit either party from seeking equitable relief.
Syntic AI will defend Customer and its personnel, successors, and assigns from and against any Customer Claim (as defined below) and indemnify them for any judgment that a court of competent jurisdiction grants a third party on such Customer Claim or that an arbitrator awards a third party under any Syntic AI-approved settlement of such Customer Claim. "Customer Claim" means a third-party claim, suit, or proceeding alleging that Customer's paid use of the Services (which includes data Syntic AI has used to train a model that is part of the Services) in accordance with these Terms or Outputs generated through such authorized use violates any third-party intellectual property right.
Customer will defend Syntic AI and its personnel, successors, and assigns from and against any Syntic AI Claim (as defined below) and indemnify them for any judgment that a court of competent jurisdiction grants a third party on such Syntic AI Claim or that an arbitrator awards a third party under any Customer-approved settlement of such Syntic AI Claim. "Syntic AI Claim" means any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding related to Customer's or its Users' (a) Inputs or other data provided by Customer, or (b) use of the Services in violation of the Usage Policy, the Service Specific Terms, or Section D.4. Syntic AI Claims and Customer Claims are each a "Claim", as applicable.
Neither party's defense or indemnification obligations will apply to the extent the underlying allegation arises from the indemnified party's fraud, willful misconduct, violations of law, or breach of the Agreement. Additionally, Syntic AI's defense and indemnification obligations will not apply to the extent the Customer Claim arises from: (a) modifications made by Customer to the Services or Outputs; (b) the combination of the Services or Outputs with technology or content not provided by Syntic AI; (c) Inputs or other data provided by Customer; (d) use of the Services or Outputs in a manner that Customer knows or reasonably should know violates or infringes the rights of others; (e) the practice of a patented invention contained in an Output; or (f) an alleged violation of trademark based on use of an Output in trade or commerce.
The indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party of the relevant Claim, and will reasonably cooperate in the defense. The indemnifying party will retain the right to control the defense of any such Claim, including the selection of counsel, the strategy and course of any litigation or appeals, and any negotiations or settlement or compromise, except that the indemnified party will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects it to an ongoing affirmative obligation. The indemnifying party's obligations will be excused if either of the following materially prejudices the defense: (a) failure of the indemnified party to provide prompt notice of the Claim; or (b) failure to reasonably cooperate in the defense.
To the extent covered under this Section K, indemnification is each party's sole and exclusive remedy under these Terms for any third-party claims.
Each party represents and warrants that (a) it is authorized to enter into these Terms; and (b) entering into and performing these Terms will not violate any of its corporate rules, if applicable. Customer further represents and warrants that it has all rights and permissions required to submit Inputs to the Services.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THESE TERMS, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW (A) THE SERVICES AND OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND; AND (B) SYNTIC AI MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY INTERFACES. SYNTIC AI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AS WELL AS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING OR PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE USE. SYNTIC AI DOES NOT WARRANT, AND DISCLAIMS THAT, THE SERVICES OR OUTPUTS ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT THEIR USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. REFERENCES TO A THIRD PARTY IN THE OUTPUTS MAY NOT MEAN THEY ENDORSE OR ARE OTHERWISE WORKING WITH SYNTIC AI.
Except as stated below, the liability of each party, and its affiliates and licensors, for any damages arising out of or related to these Terms (i) excludes damages that are consequential, incidental, special, indirect, or exemplary damages, including lost profits, business, contracts, revenue, goodwill, production, anticipated savings, or data, and costs of procurement of substitute goods or services, and (ii) is limited to Fees paid by Customer for the Services in the previous 12 months.
The limitations of liability in this Section L.3 do not apply to either party's obligations under Section K (Indemnification).
THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION L.3 APPLY: (I) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW; (II) TO LIABILITY IN TORT, INCLUDING FOR NEGLIGENCE; (III) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE; (IV) EVEN IF THE BREACHING PARTY IS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DAMAGES IN QUESTION AND EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE; AND (V) EVEN IF THE INJURED PARTY'S REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
The parties agree that they have entered into these Terms in reliance on the terms of this Section L.3, and those terms form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.
All notices, demands, waivers, and other communications under these Terms (each, a "Notice") must be in writing. Except for notices related to demands to arbitrate or where equitable relief is sought, any Notices provided under these Terms may be delivered electronically to the address provided to Syntic AI if to Customer; and to notices@syntic.ai if to Syntic AI. Notice is effective only: (a) upon receipt by the receiving party, and (b) if the party giving the Notice has complied with all requirements of this section.
Customer agrees to receive electronic communications from Syntic AI based on Customer's use of the Services and related to these Terms. Except where prohibited by applicable law, electronic communications may be sent via email, through the Services or Customer's management dashboard, or posted on Syntic AI's website. Syntic AI may also provide electronic communications via text or SMS about Customer's use of the Services or as Customer otherwise requests. If Customer wishes to stop receiving such messages, Customer may request it from Syntic AI or respond to any such texts with "STOP".
Syntic AI may update these Terms at any time, to be effective 30 days after the updates are posted by Syntic AI or Customer otherwise receives Notice, except that updates made in response to changes to law or regulation take effect immediately upon posting or Notice. Changes will not apply retroactively. No other amendment to or modification of these Terms is effective unless it is in writing and signed by both parties. Failure to exercise or delay in exercising any rights or remedies arising from these Terms does not and will not be construed as a waiver; and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy will preclude future exercise of such right or remedy.
Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under these Terms without the other party's prior written consent, except that Syntic AI may assign its rights and delegate its obligations to an affiliate or as part of a sale of all or substantially all its business. Any purported assignment or delegation is null and void except as permitted above. No permitted assignment or delegation will relieve the contracting party or assignees of their obligations under these Terms. These Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
If a provision of these Terms is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will neither affect any other term or provision of these Terms nor invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination, the parties will negotiate in good faith to modify these Terms to reflect the parties' original intent as closely as possible.
These Terms will be construed mutually, with neither party considered the drafter. Document and section titles are provided for convenience and will not be interpreted. The phrases "for example" or "including" or "or" are not limiting.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the Governing Laws, without giving effect to any choice of law provision. "Governing Laws" means (i) for Customers in the EEA, Switzerland, or UK, the laws of Ireland; and (ii) for all other Customers, the laws of the State of California.
Any suits, actions, or proceedings related to these Terms that are not required to be resolved via arbitration pursuant to Section J will be instituted exclusively in the Venue, and each party irrevocably submits to their exclusive jurisdiction. "Venue" means (i) for Customers in the EEA, Switzerland, or UK, the courts of Ireland; and (ii) for all other Customers, federal or state courts located in California.
Customer may not export or provide access to the Services to persons or entities or into countries or for uses where it is prohibited under U.S. or other applicable international law. Without limiting the foregoing, this restriction applies (a) to countries where export from the US or into such country would be prohibited or illegal without first obtaining the appropriate license, and (b) to persons, entities, or countries covered by U.S. sanctions.
These Terms (including the Usage Policy, Supported Regions Policy, Service Specific Terms, DPA, Model Pricing Page, and other documents or terms that are incorporated by reference) constitute the parties' entire understanding as to the Services' provision and use. These Terms supersede all other understandings or agreements between the parties regarding the Services.
Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
