or other materials or services provided or made available by Akool hereunder (“Feedback”), Customer hereby grants Akool a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid-up, fully-transferable, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) under Customer’s and its licensors’ intellectual property rights to use and exploit such Feedback in any manner and for any purpose.

Certain parts of the Akool Content may be owned by third parties and licensed through Akool to you. Licenses granted by third parties to Akool to any Akool Content will not restrict the foregoing license.
RIGHTS AND CONDITIONS TO USE THE APIS

You acknowledge that your right to use the APIs is nonexclusive, and that Akool or its users may develop products or services that may compete with the API Clients or any other products or services.
2. Your Obligations. You will require your end users to comply with (and not knowingly enable them to violate) applicable law, regulation, and this Agreement. You will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect user information collected by your API Client, including personal data, from unauthorized access or use and will promptly report to your users any unauthorized access or use of such information to the extent required by applicable law.

interference. Akool may suspend your or your API Client’s access to the APIs without notice if we reasonably believe that you are in breach of this Agreement.

Without limiting Sections 2.3 or 2.4 or any other prohibitions or restrictions on your use of the Akool Service set forth in this Agreement, when using the APIs, you may not (or allow any third party to): (a) use the APIs for any activities where the use or failure of the APIs could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental damage (such as the operation of nuclear facilities, air traﬃc control, or life support systems); (b) use the APIs other than directly, or in connection with a service that you offer directly, to end users; (c) create an API Client that (i) functions substantially the same as the APIs and offer it for use by third parties; (ii) is directed towards or is likely to be accessed by individuals under the age of 18; or (iii) competes with any portion or all of the Akool Service without our prior written consent; (d) use the APIs in clinical practice, to provide medical advice, or in any manner that is overseen by or requires clearance or approval from a medical device regulatory agency; (e) if you are (or become) a “covered entity” or “business associate” as deﬁned in HIPAA, use the APIs for any purpose or in any manner involving transmitting protected health information to Akool unless you have received prior written consent to such use from Akool; (f) use the APIs to obtain training data; or (g) Do the following with content returned from the APIs: (i) scrape, build databases, or otherwise create permanent copies of such content, or keep cached copies longer than permitted by the cache header; (ii) remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices; or falsify or delete any author attributions, legal notices, or other labels of the origin or source of material; (iii) copy, translate, modify, create a derivative work of, sell, lease, lend, convey, distribute, publicly display, or sublicense to any third party; or (iv) misrepresent the source or ownership.
Submission of Content. Some of our APIs allow the submission of content. Akool does not acquire any ownership of any intellectual property rights in the content that you submit to our APIs through your API Client, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. For the sole purpose of enabling Akool to provide, secure, and improve the APIs (and the related services) and only in accordance with the applicable Akool privacy policies, you grant Akool a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to use, host, store, modify, communicate, and publish content submitted, posted, or displayed to or from the APIs through your API Client. Before you submit content to our APIs through your API Client, you will ensure that you have the necessary rights (including the necessary rights from your end users) to grant us the foregoing license. When a user’s non-public content is obtained through the APIs, you may not expose that content to other users or to third parties without explicit opt-in consent from that user.
Third Party Content. Our APIs contain some third party content (such as text, images, videos, audio, or software). This content is the sole responsibility of the person that makes it available. We may sometimes review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies or this Agreement, and we may remove or refuse to display content. Finally, content accessible through our APIs may be subject to intellectual property rights, and, if so, you may not use it unless you are licensed to do so by the owner of that content or are otherwise permitted by law. Your access to the content provided by the API may be restricted, limited, or ﬁltered in accordance with applicable law, regulation, and policy.
Attribution. You agree to display “Powered by Akool” in connection with your API Client(s) and any other attributions required by Akool as described in the documentation for the applicable API. Akool hereby grants you a nontransferable, nonsublicensable, nonexclusive license, during the term of this Agreement, to display the Akool Marks for the sole purpose of promoting or advertising that you use the APIs. You must only use the Akool Marks for the purpose of fulﬁlling your obligations under this Section and in accordance with (a) this Agreement; and (b) any branding or trademark guidelines that Akool may provide in writing from time to time. You understand and agree that Akool has the sole discretion to determine whether your attribution(s) and use of the Akool Marks are in accordance with the above requirements and guidelines. All use by you of the Akool Marks (including any goodwill associated therewith) will inure to the beneﬁt of Akool. “Akool Marks” is deﬁned as the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of Akool.

1. License to Your Content. Customer hereby grants to Akool a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to process and use (including through the use of subcontractors) Your Content to: (a) provide Customer the Akool Service and other services provided by Akool to Customer hereunder; (b) comply with applicable law; (c) enforce our terms and policies; (d) keep the Akool Service safe; and (e) as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement. For the avoidance, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of Your Content or any Usage Data (as deﬁned below) be used by Akool or third parties to train machine learning models. Customer represents and warrants that Customer has all necessary ownership, rights, and/or authorizations to grant the licenses hereunder in and to the Input. You acknowledge that any Input you provide, including any personal data you choose to include within that Input, will be shared with third party service providers in order to provide you with the Akool Service. This includes any personal data you choose to include within such Input. You consent to any such personal data included in Input being transferred to a third party service, which may not provide the same level of protection for your personal data as Akool. “Your Content” means, collectively, the Input and Output. “Input” means any input to the Hosted Service by Customer, such as text prompts describing images and videos or

other content, and any other Content that Customer transmits, processes, and/or otherwise provides (including, Account Data and Personal Data), through, or in connection with the use of, the Akool Service. “Output” means any output generated or received from the Hosted Service based on the Input.

Ownership of Your Content. As between the parties, subject to Akool’s rights in and to Usage Data and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to Your Content, including any Output, provided that your ownership in the Output is subject to your compliance with this Agreement. You may use the Output you generate for any lawful purpose, provided that you adhere to this Agreement and acknowledge that any use of such Output is done at your own risk. In using the Output that you generate, we kindly ask that you disclose to viewers of such Output that the content has been produced using AI technology. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer, not Akool, is solely responsible for any and all of Your Content submitted, transmitted, contributed, provided, generated, and/or created by Customer in connection with the use of the Akool Service.
Storage. Unless expressly agreed to by Akool in writing elsewhere, Akool has no obligation to store any of Your Content that you make available on the Akool Service. Akool has no responsibility or liability for the failure to store, transmit or receive transmission of Your Content; the accuracy or deletion of any of Your Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the Akool Service. You agree that Akool retains the right to create reasonable limits on Akool’s use and storage of Your Content, such as limits on ﬁle size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits described on the Site and as otherwise determined by Akool in its sole discretion.
Monitoring. You acknowledge that Akool has no obligation to monitor or pre-screen Your Content, although Akool reserves the right in its sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or remove any of Your Content (including any Input or Output), and you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of Your Content. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) Akool shall have the right to remove any of Your Content that violates this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable; and (b) you acknowledge and agree that Akool may preserve your Your Content and may also disclose Your Content if required to do so by law or in Akool’s good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process, applicable laws or government requests; (ii) enforce this Agreement; (iii) respond to claims that Your Content violates the rights of third parties; or (iv) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Akool, its shareholders and licensors, Akool Representatives, and the public.
Personal Data. To the extent any of Your Content includes, or Customer otherwise transmits, processes, and/or provides, any personally identiﬁable information in connection with the use of the Akool Service (“Personal Data”), which is subject to any applicable data protection laws and/or regulations (“Applicable Data Laws”), Customer represents and warrants that: (a) such Personal Data is not sensitive data as deﬁned pursuant to Applicable Data Laws (“Sensitive Data”), (b) Customer is in compliance with all Applicable Data Laws, and (c) Customer has obtained all permissions and/or approvals from each applicable data source as may be necessary or required to transmit such data through the Akool Service and/or provide or make available such data to Akool hereunder. Customer will provide and adhere to a privacy policy that applies to any data subjects included in Your Content and that clearly and accurately describes to such data subjects what information you collect and how you use and share such information with Akool and third parties. Account Data and Personal Data shall only be used in accordance with this Agreement and as described in Akool’s Privacy Notice available at https://d11fbe263bhqij.cloudfront.net/public/Akool_Privacy_Policy.pdf. In addition, each party agrees to work together in good faith to mutually agree upon and enter into any documents, agreements, statements, or policies deemed necessary or appropriate by a party in its discretion to comply with any Applicable Data Laws with respect to any Personal Data exchanged pursuant to this Agreement.
Usage Data. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Akool has the right to (a) aggregate, collect, and analyze information, metrics, analytics, and data relating to the use of the Akool Service (collectively, “Usage Data”); (b) use such Usage Data for its internal business purposes, including, but not limited to, improving, testing, and maintaining the Akool Service, and to develop additional products and services; and (c) disclose or publish Usage Data solely in an aggregated and de-identiﬁed format that does not identify Customer or any individual. Subject to Customer’s rights in and to Your Content, Akool shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to Usage Data.
AI Functionality. The Akool Service utilizes certain generative artiﬁcial intelligence and other machine learning functionality (“AI Features”). Artiﬁcial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving ﬁelds of study. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of the AI Features may in some situations result in incorrect Output that does not accurately reﬂect real people, places, or facts or conform to your speciﬁcations. You are responsible for evaluating the accuracy of any Output as appropriate for your use case, including by using human review of the Output. While Akool takes measures to preclude your creation of inappropriate content, Akool cannot guarantee the appropriateness of the resulting Output you generate. You are solely responsible for your use of the Hosted Service, including your generation of Output, your Input, and the consequences of your posting, publishing, or sharing of any Output. Due to the nature of the

Hosted Service and AI generally, Output may not be unique and other users may receive similar Output from the Hosted Service. Please note that we may utilize AI Features developed by third parties. You agree to use the AI Features in accordance with this Agreement and the then-current terms and conditions and other policies governing the use of the applicable of any third party AI Features.

Security. Akool shall implement and maintain industry-standard technical and organizational security measures that are reasonably designed to prevent unauthorized access to and disclosure of unencrypted Your Content. Without prejudice to Akool’s foregoing obligations, Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Akool Service, including:

(a) protecting account authentication credentials; (b) implementing measures to allow Customer to backup and archive appropriately in order to restore availability and access to Your Content in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and (c) taking any appropriate steps to securely encrypt or pseudonymize any of Your Content.

PAYMENT.
1. Fees. In order to access and use the APIs, Hosted Service, and/or any other paid feature of the Akool Service, Akool may require you to pay fees in exchange for credits for such usage. Any such credits purchased for a given Subscription period shall not roll over into the subsequent Subscription period and must be used within the Subscription period for which they were purchased. Akool’s pricing webpage sets forth Akool’s current fees and payment, renewal, and Subscription terms and is located at https://akool.com/setting/billing. Akool reserves the right to determine pricing for the Akool Service. Akool will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on our pricing webpage up to date. We may increase or add new fees for any existing Akool Service or feature by giving you advance notice of changes before they apply.
2. Subscription and Auto-renewals. Akool may allow you to purchase a Subscription to certain portions or features of the Akool Service for which you will be periodically billed the amounts indicated to you at the time of your subscription to the applicable Subscription plan, as may be updated from time to time by Akool, on a forward-going basis, upon notice to you and your acceptance thereof. When you purchase a Subscription, the Subscription will be billed on a periodic basis. You hereby authorize Akool to charge your credit card, debit card, or bank account (as applicable) on a going- forward basis and until cancellation of either the Subscription or your Account. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the day of the month when you sign up for your Subscription plan. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date for all applicable fees and taxes for the next subscription period.
  
  BY PURCHASING A SUBSCRIPTION, YOU AGREE THAT AFTER THE INITIAL TERM OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN, AND AGAIN AFTER ANY SUBSEQUENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, PROVIDED THAT AKOOL RECEIVES PAYMENT OF THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEES, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON THE FIRST DAY FOLLOWING THE END OF SUCH PERIOD FOR SUCCESSIVE PERIODS OF THE SAME DURATION AT AKOOL’S THEN-CURRENT PRICE FOR SUCH SUBSCRIPTION PLAN UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN OR ACCOUNT AS FURTHER DESCRIBED BELOW.
  
  YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN AT ANY TIME BY EMAILING INFO@AKOOL.COM, IN WHICH CASE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN WILL EXPIRE AT THE END OF THAT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD (AND UPON WHICH EXPIRATION YOUR SUBCRIPTION WILL NO LONGER BE RENEWED OR CHARGED). YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE IT RENEWS IN ORDER TO AVOID BILLING OF THE NEXT PERIODIC SUBSCRIPTION FEE TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
3. Free Credits. We may in our sole discretion provide complimentary credits to you that enable free use of the APIs, Hosted Service, and/or any other paid feature of the Akool Service. You agree that you have no title or interest in these complementary credits, which are not legal tender, and which Akool may revoke at any time. If you create more than one Account or otherwise attempt to fraudulently obtain complementary credits, we reserve the right to charge you the purchase price for the Akool Service you obtain using such credits or revoke your access to the Akool Service.
Third Party Payment Provider. Akool uses third party payment providers (each, a “Third Party Payment Provider”) such as Stripe, Inc. and its aﬃliates as the third party service provider for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services). By making any purchase on the Akool Service, you agree to be bound by the terms and policies of the applicable Third Party Payment Provider(s), including Stripe’s Privacy Policy (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/privacy) and its Terms of Service (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/terms), and hereby consent and authorize Akool and Stripe to share any information and payment instructions you provide with one or more Third Party Payment Providers to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.
Taxes. The payments required under Section 6.1 of this Agreement do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with the services provided under this Agreement. If Akool determines it has a legal obligation to collect Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Akool shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under Section 6.1. 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 Akool, 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 Akool for any liability or expense Akool may incur in connection with such Sales Tax. Upon Akool's request, you will provide Akool 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.
Withholding Taxes. You agree to make all payments of fees to Akool free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Akool will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide Akool with oﬃcial receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to show that such taxes have been paid.
Fee Disputes. Should you have any dispute as to fees associated with your Account, please contact us at info@akool.com within 30 days of the date of the activity that generated such dispute, and we will attempt to resolve the matter. Any and all refunds issued to resolve such a dispute shall be issued as credits to your Account, but in no event shall there be any cash refunds. Disputes older than 90 days shall not be entitled to any refunds or credits.

Except as expressly set forth herein or on Akool’s pricing webpage, Akool will not under any circumstances issue a refund for early termination of this Agreement or of your use of the Akool Service.

Each party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time during the term of this Agreement disclose to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) certain proprietary and non-public information regarding the Disclosing Party’s products, services, and business (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Without limiting the foregoing, Confidential Information shall include: (a) with respect to Akool: the Documentation, Feedback, and any non-public aspects of, and/or non-public technical and business information regarding, the Akool Service (or any part thereof); (b) with respect to Customer: Your Content; and (c) all materials and information disclosed under this Agreement that are marked “confidential” by the Disclosing Party or that the Receiving Party knows or should have known, under the circumstances or by its nature, are considered confidential by Customer.

(3) disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party who had the right to make such disclosure without any confidentiality restrictions; or (4) independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to, or use of, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party without violating this Section to the extent that such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by law or court order; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall first give the Disclosing Party prompt notice of such order so that the Disclosing Party may take appropriate actions to protect its rights, including seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Neither party will disclose any terms of this Agreement to anyone other than its attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors, in each case under a duty of confidentiality except (x) as required by law; or (y) in connection with a proposed merger, financing, or sale of such party’s business (provided that any third party to whom the terms of this Agreement are to be disclosed is under a duty of confidentiality). Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall promptly return or destroy Confidential Information in its possession or control and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or Akool’s Privacy Notice, will not make or retain any copies of such information, except that the Receiving Party may retain one (1) archival copy of such information solely for purposes of ensuring compliance with this Agreement or any applicable laws, rules or regulations; provided that any such archival copies remain subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Section.

GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without reference to its choice of law. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded from this Agreement. This Agreement (including without limitation, the Akool Service and any services provided hereunder) will not be governed or interpreted in any way by referring to any law based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA), or any other act derived from or related to UCITA.
2. Disputes. You agree that any dispute between you and Akool arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Akool Service (or any part thereof), Akool Content, and/or any content, materials, and/or services provided by Akool hereunder (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be governed by the provisions set forth in this Section 16.
3. Notice of Disputes. A party who intends to seek arbitration or bring other action permitted under this Section 16 with respect to any Dispute, must ﬁrst send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party by certiﬁed U.S. Mail or by overnight courier such as Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Dispute Notice”). Akool’s address for Dispute Notices is: 880 W Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, United States. The Dispute Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the speciﬁc relief sought.
4. Informal Resolution. You and Akool agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute directly, but if an agreement to do so is not reached within 30 days’ receipt of the Dispute Notice, you or Akool may commence an arbitration proceeding or other permitted action, as set forth in this Section.
5. Agreement to Arbitrate. In the interest of resolving Disputes between you and Akool in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, and except as described in Section 16.9, you and Akool agree every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding individual (not class) arbitration (the “Agreement to Arbitrate”). Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This Agreement to Arbitrate includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE MEANS YOU AND AKOOL WAIVE YOUR/ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 16 ARE GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.
6. Arbitration. Any arbitration between you and Akool will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules or its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at time the claim is submitted (the “Rules”) as modiﬁed by this Section 16.6. You and we agree the following rules will apply to the proceedings: (a) the arbitration will be heard and determined by a single, neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules; (b) the arbitration will take place in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location; (c) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions (at the choice of the party seeking relief); (d) the arbitration must not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses (unless we and you agree otherwise), and provided that, Disputes that involve a claim of more than $10,000 USD must be resolved per the Rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person; and (e) any judgment on the arbitrator’s rendered award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be conﬁdential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant all relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order, including awards of attorney’s fees and costs. Regardless of the way the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision suﬃcient to explain the essential ﬁndings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. A party electing arbitration must initiate proceedings by ﬁling an arbitration demand with the AAA. The Rules and ﬁling forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1- 800-778-7879.
7. Fees. You are responsible for paying your portion of the fees set forth in the AAA fee schedule, and Akool will be responsible for the remainder of the arbitrator’s and arbitration service fees. If you believe you cannot afford the AAA fees, you may apply to AAA for a fee waiver. You are responsible for any other fees you may incur, including attorneys’ fees.

If the arbitrator ﬁnds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Akool for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the Rules.

Opting-Out of Arbitration. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate within 30 days after the date that you ﬁrst agree to this Agreement by sending a letter to Akool, Inc., Attention: Arbitration Opt-Out, 880 W Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, United States, that speciﬁes: your full legal name, the email address used to register an Akool Account (if applicable), and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Akool receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Agreement to Arbitrate will be void and the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 16.10 will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement. The remaining provisions of this Section 16 will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
Exception to Arbitration. Despite this Agreement to Arbitrate, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; or (c) seek equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction either (i) in aid of arbitration; (ii) to stop unauthorized use of the Akool Service or infringement of intellectual property rights; or (iii) as set forth in Section 18.1. In addition, any Disputes concerning either party’s intellectual property rights or claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Akool Service shall not be subject to arbitration but instead must be heard in state or federal courts in Santa Clara County, California.
Enforceability; Venue. If this Agreement to Arbitrate is found not to apply to your or our claim, you and Akool agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the federal or state courts located in Santa Clara County, California. Both you and Akool consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.
No Class Actions. YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH AKOOL ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
Time Limitation to Bring Claims. Notwithstanding any statute or law to the contrary, you expressly acknowledge and agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Akool Service (or any part thereof) or this Agreement must be ﬁled within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, otherwise that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.
COPYRIGHT COMPLAINTS. If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed, please send notice to the address below. We may delete or disable content that we believe violates this Agreement or is alleged to be infringing and will terminate accounts of repeat infringers where appropriate.

GENERAL
1. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Section 8 (Conﬁdentiality) or, in the case of Customer, Sections 2.3 (Prohibited Uses), 2.4 (Acceptable Use Policy), or 3.5 (API Usage Restrictions), would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to equitable relief and any other relief that may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law.
2. Severability; Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise

any right provided for herein, will not be deemed to be a waiver of the future enforcement of such provision or right, and no waiver of any provision or right will affect the right of the waiving party to enforce any other provision or right herein.

Notices. All notices permitted or required to be sent to Akool under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent by personal delivery, email (where permitted), or by certiﬁed or registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed delivered (a) upon personal delivery, (b) with respect to certiﬁed or registered mail, the later to occur of receipt or refusal of delivery, or ﬁve (5) business days after being deposited in the mail as required above, and (c) upon conﬁrmation of transmission if sent by email.
