Please read the Zowie Subscription Services Terms and Conditions carefully because together with the Order Form executed by you and Zowie, they constitute a binding agreement (“Agreement”) between you (“Customer”) and Zowie, Inc. (“Zowie”) and govern Customer’s use of Zowie’s Subscription Services. Zowie and Customer may be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”. In consideration of the mutual covenants, terms, and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
This Agreement states the terms and conditions by which Zowie will deliver and Customer will receive any or all of the Subscription Services, as set forth on the Order Form. The specific services to be provided hereunder are identified in the Order Form, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. In the event of conflict between the terms of the Order Form and the terms set forth in these Terms and Conditions, the terms of the Order Form will govern. This Agreement is intended to cover any and all Subscription Services ordered by Customer and provided by Zowie.
Customer acknowledges that Zowie may unilaterally make changes or amend these Terms and Conditions provided that if it does so, it will give Customer at least 30 days’ notice prior to such changes becoming effective and for the 30 days following notice, Customer shall have the right to opt out of the amended Terms for the duration of the then-current Term until the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term.
(a) “Aggregate Data” means any data that is derived or aggregated in deidentified form from (i) any Customer Materials; or (ii) Customer’s and/or its Authorized Users’ access and/or use of the Subscription Services, including, without limitation, any usage data or trends with respect to the Subscription Services.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Zowie hereby grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except in compliance with Section 10.6) right to access and use the Subscription Services during the Term, solely for Customer’s internal business purposes in accordance with, and subject to, the Annual Automated Chat Maximum.

(ix) access or use the Subscription Services, Documentation or any other Zowie Confidential Information for benchmarking or competitive analysis with respect to competitive or related products or services, or to develop, commercialize, license or sell any product, service or technology that could, directly or indirectly, compete with the Subscription Services.
Customer will not allow any Person other than Authorized Users to access or use the Subscription Services. Customer may permit Authorized Users to access and/or use the Subscription Services, provided that Customer ensures each Authorized User complies with all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer will be responsible for all acts, omissions and obligations of Authorized Users in connection with the activities contemplated by this Agreement and/or the Subscription Services, as though such acts, omissions and/or obligations were those of Customer. Customer will, and will require all Authorized Users to, use all reasonable means to secure user names and passwords, hardware and software used to access the Subscription Services in accordance with customary security protocols, and will promptly notify Zowie if Customer knows or reasonably suspects that any user name and/or password has been compromised.
In order to use the Subscription Services on Customer’s properties, Customer may be given a key for Zowie’s application programming interface (“API”). Customer is solely responsible for the security of the API key, is required to take appropriate measures to safeguard the API key and shall be responsible for any unauthorized access to the API key. Customer’s property must maintain absolute compatibility with the API in order to be granted access to the Subscription Services.
Certain features and functionalities within the Subscription Services may allow Customer and its Authorized Users to interface or interact with, access and/or use compatible third-party services, products, technology and content (collectively, “Third-Party Services”) through the Subscription Services. Company does not provide any aspect of the Third-Party Services and is not responsible for any compatibility issues, errors or bugs in the Subscription Services or Third-Party Services caused in whole or in part by the Third-Party Services or any update or upgrade thereto. Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the Third-Party Services and obtaining any associated licenses and consents necessary for Customer to use the Third-Party Services in connection with the Subscription Services.
Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, Zowie reserves and, as between the Parties will solely own, the Zowie IP and all rights, title and interest in and to the Zowie IP. No rights are granted to Customer hereunder (whether by implication, estoppel, exhaustion or otherwise) other than as expressly set forth herein.
Zowie will provide reasonable technical support to Customer by electronic mail in connection with its use of the Subscription Services on weekdays during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with the exception of U.S. federal holidays (“Support Hours”), subject to the following conditions:
(i) prior to initiating any support request, Customer (and its own personnel responsible for information technology support) will have first attempted to resolve the issue generating the need for such support; and
(ii) Customer will reasonably cooperate with Zowie support staff as needed to resolve the issue. Customer may initiate a helpdesk ticket during Support Hours by emailing support@zowie.ai.
From time to time Customer or its employees, contractors, or representatives may provide Zowie with suggestions, comments, feedback or the like with regard to the Subscription Services (collectively, “Feedback”). Customer hereby grants Zowie a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free and fully-paid up license to use and exploit all Feedback in connection with Zowie’s business purposes, including, without limitation, the testing, development, maintenance and improvement of the Subscription Services.
Customer will pay Zowie the fees set forth in the relevant Order Form in accordance with the terms therein (“Fees”) and without offset or deduction. Zowie will issue invoices to Customer in accordance with the Order Form, and Customer will pay all amounts set forth on any such invoice no later than thirty (14) days after the date of such invoice. If Customer has signed up for automatic billing, Zowie will charge Customer’s selected payment method (such as a credit card, debit card, gift card/code, or other method available in Customer’s home country) for any Fees on the applicable payment date, including any applicable taxes. If Zowie cannot charge Customer’s selected payment method for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts, and Zowie will attempt to charge the payment method again as Customer may update its payment method information. In accordance with local law, Zowie may update information regarding Customer’s selected payment method if provided such information by Customer’s financial institution.
Payments due to Zowie under this Agreement must be made in U.S. dollars by check, credit card, debit card, wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Zowie or such other payment method mutually agreed by the Parties. All payments are non-refundable and neither Party will have the right to set off, discount or otherwise reduce or refuse to pay any amounts due to the other Party under this Agreement. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, late charges will accrue at the rate of 1.5% per month or, if lower, the highest rate permitted by applicable law and Zowie may suspend Services until all payments are made in full. Customer will reimburse Zowie for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any late payments or interest. Zowie reserves the right to suspend the Subscription Services with notice in the event of Customer non-payment of past due invoices.
Customer is responsible for all sales, use, ad valorem and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, multinational or local governmental regulatory authority on any amount payable by Customer to Zowie hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Zowie’s income. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that Customer is required to deduct or withhold any taxes from the amounts payable to Zowie hereunder, Customer will pay an additional amount, so that Zowie receives the amounts due to it hereunder in full, as if there were no withholding or deduction.
As used herein, “Confidential Information” means any information that one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) provides to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with this Agreement, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be considered to be confidential given the nature of the information and/or the circumstances of disclosure. For clarity, the Subscription Services and the Documentation will be deemed Confidential Information of Zowie. However, Confidential Information will not include any information or materials that:
(i) are at the date of disclosure, or have subsequently become, generally known or available to the public through no act or failure to act by the Receiving Party;
(ii) are rightfully known by the Receiving Party prior to receiving such information or materials from the Disclosing Party;
(iii) are rightfully acquired by the Receiving Party from a third party who has the right to disclose such information or materials without breach of any confidentiality or non-use obligation to the Disclosing Party; or
(iv) are independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without use of or access to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
The Receiving Party will maintain the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, and will not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as necessary to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement; provided that Zowie may use and modify Confidential Information of Customer in deidentified form for purposes of developing and deriving Aggregate Data. The Receiving Party will not disclose or cause to be disclosed any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except
(i) to those employees, representatives, or contractors of the Receiving Party who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information to perform under this Agreement and who are bound by written agreements with use and nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective as those set forth in this Agreement, or
(ii) as such disclosure may be required by the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body, subject to the Receiving Party providing to the Disclosing Party reasonable written notice to allow the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise contest the disclosure.
Zowie acknowledges that, as between Customer and Zowie and except as set forth in Section 5.2, Customer owns and retains all right, title and interest in and to all Customer Materials.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer hereby grants to Zowie
(a) a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to use, host, reproduce, display and perform publicly, and modify the Customer Materials solely for the purpose of hosting, operating, improving and providing the Subscription Services, and
(b) a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to use, host, reproduce, display and perform publicly, and modify the Customer Materials solely for related internal operations and functions such as operational analytics and reporting, internal financial reporting and analysis, audit functions, archival, and other internal business purposes.
Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts and take no less than industry standard precautions to store, collect, transmit, handle and receive all data received from the other Party in connection with this Agreement, and will cooperate with one another in good faith with respect to any issue, inquiry or incident involving the security of such data to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations including, without limitation, all applicable data protection and privacy laws.
Customer represents and warrants that
(a) it has obtained and will obtain and continue to have, during the Term, all necessary rights, authority and licenses for the access to and use of the Customer Materials (including any personal data provided or otherwise collected pursuant to Customer’s privacy policy) as contemplated by this Agreement and
(b) Zowie’s use of the Customer Materials in accordance with this Agreement will not violate any applicable laws or regulations or cause a breach of any agreement or obligations between Customer and any third party.
Within 90 days following the termination of the Agreement, Zowie may export the Customer Data at the Customer's written request. Zowie will make such Customer Data available to the Customer in a file for download. After 90 days from the termination of the Agreement, Zowie shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any such Customer Data and may thereafter, unless legally prohibited from doing so, delete all such Customer Data.
Each Party hereby represents and warrants to the other Party that:
(i) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under its jurisdiction of organization and has the right to enter into this Agreement and
(ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the corporate powers of such Party and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Party, and constitute a valid and binding agreement of such Party.
If Zowie reasonably believes the Subscription Services (or any component thereof) could infringe any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, Zowie may, at its sole option and expense use commercially reasonable efforts to:
(i) modify or replace the Subscription Services, or any component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing; or
(ii) procure the right for Customer to continue using the Subscription Services. If Zowie determines that neither alternative is commercially practicable, Zowie may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component, by providing written notice to Customer. In the event of any such termination, Zowie will refund to Customer a pro-rata portion of the Fees that have been paid for the unexpired portion. The rights and remedies set forth in this Section 6.2 will constitute Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any infringement or misappropriation of Intellectual Property Rights in connection with the Subscription Services.
Except as expressly set forth herein, the subscription services and other Zowie IP are provided on an “as is” basis, and Zowie makes no warranties or representations to Customer, its authorized users or to any other Party regarding the Zowie IP, the subscription services or any other services or materials provided hereunder. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Zowie hereby disclaims all warranties and representations, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. Without limiting the foregoing, Zowie hereby disclaims any warranty that use of the subscription services will be error-free, buf-free or uninterrupted.
Subject to Section 7.2, Customer will defend Zowie against any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party (“Claim”), or any fines or penalties, arising from
(i) any Customer Materials, including, without limitation, (A) any Claim that the Customer Materials infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights or privacy or other rights; or (B) any Claim that the use, provision, transmission, display or storage of Customer Materials violates any applicable law, rule or regulation;
(ii) any of Customer’s products or services;
(iii) access or use of the Subscription Services by Customer or its Authorized Users in a manner that is not in accordance with this Agreement or the Documentation, including, without limitation, any breach of the license restrictions in Section 2.2, and in each case, will indemnify and hold harmless Zowie against any damages and costs awarded against Zowie or agreed in settlement by Customer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such Claim, and
(iv) Customer's failure to provide sufficient notice to or collect sufficient consent from its end users to data tracking and processing through Zowie.
Zowie will promptly notify the Customer of any Claim for which indemnity is being sought and will reasonably cooperate with the Customer in the defense and/or settlement thereof. The Customer will have the sole right to conduct the defense of any Claim for which the Customer is responsible hereunder (provided that the Customer may not settle any Claim without Zowie’s prior written approval unless the settlement is for a monetary amount, unconditionally releases Zowie from all liability without prejudice, does not require any admission by Zowie, and does not place restrictions upon Zowie’s business, products or services). Zowie may participate in the defense or settlement of any such Claim and with its own choice of counsel or, if the Customer refuses to fulfill its obligation of defense, Zowie may defend itself and seek reimbursement from the Customer.
Escept for:
(I) any infringement or misappropriation by one Party of the other Party’s intellectual property rights,
(II) fraud or wilful misconduct by either Party, or
(III) breach of Customer’s payment obligations, neither Party will be liable to the other for any incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, or any loss of income, data, profits, revenue or business interruption, or the cost of cover or substitute services or other economic loss, arising out of or in connection with this agreement, the Zowie IP or the provision of the subscription services, whether such liability arises from any claim based on contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not such party was advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.
In no event will Zowie’s total liability to Customer or its authorized users in connection with this agreement, the Zowie IP or the provision of the subscription services exceed the fees actually paid by Customer to Zowie in the three (3) month period preceding the event giving rise to the claim, regardless of the legal or equitable theory on which the claim or liability is based, and whether or not Zowie was advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.
The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the limitations of liability in this section 8 are an essential part of the basis of the bargain between Zowie and Customer, and will apply even if the remedies available hereunder are found to fail their essential purpose.
The Term of this Agreement is set forth in the Order Form. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach remains uncured fifteen (15) days after the non-breaching Party provides the breaching Party with written notice of such breach.
This Section 9.2 and Sections 1, 2.2, 2.6, 2.8, 3, 4, 5.2(b), 6.3, 7, 8, 9.3, and 10 survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement:
(a) the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1 will terminate; and
(b) Customer will return or destroy, at Zowie’s sole option, all Zowie Confidential Information in its possession or control, including permanent removal of such Zowie Confidential Information (consistent with customary industry practice for data destruction) from any storage devices or other hosting environments that are in Customer’s possession or under Customer’s control, and at Zowie’s request, certify in writing to Zowie that the Zowie Confidential Information has been returned, destroyed or, in the case of electronic communications, deleted. No expiration or termination will affect Customer’s obligation to pay all Fees that may have become due or otherwise accrued through the effective date of expiration or termination or entitle Customer to any refund.
This Agreement, including its Order Forms and exhibits, is the complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and understandings, both written and oral, with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written document executed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties.
All notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing, will reference this Agreement, and will be sent to the address or email address set forth in the Order Form or to such other address as may be specified by the relevant Party to the other Party in accordance with this Section 10.2. Such notices will be deemed given:
(a) when delivered personally
(b) one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally recognized express courier, with written confirmation of receipt;
(c) three (3) business days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or
(d) when sent by email, on the date the email was sent without a bounce back message if sent during normal business hours of the receiving party, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the receiving party.
Either Party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party granting the waiver.
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, given the fundamental intentions of the Parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any principles of conflict of laws that would lead to the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties expressly agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply. Any legal action or proceeding arising under this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in New York, New York and the Parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein.
Customer will not assign or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without Zowie’s prior written consent. Any attempt to assign or transfer this Agreement without such consent will be void. Zowie may assign or transfer this Agreement without Customer’s consent to any third party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Each Party agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 4 or, in the case of Customer, Section 2.2, would cause the other Party irreparable harm and significant damages for which there may be no adequate remedy under law and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will have the right to seek immediate equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, 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, in equity or otherwise.
Zowie will not be responsible for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement due to causes beyond its reasonable control, which may include, without limitation, labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, shortages of or inability to obtain energy, raw materials or supplies, denial of service or other malicious attacks, telecommunications failure or degradation, pandemics (including but not limited to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) or any mutation thereof), epidemics, public health emergencies, governmental orders and acts (including government-imposed travel restrictions and quarantines), material changes in law, war, terrorism, riot, or acts of God.
Subject to the provisions of Section 4, each Party shall have the right to publicly announce the existence of the business relationship between the Parties. In addition, during the Term, Zowie may use Customer’s name, trademarks, and logos (collectively, “Customer’s Marks”) on Zowie’s website and in its marketing materials to identify Customer as Zowie’s customer, and for the purpose of providing the Subscription Services and any Professional Services to Customer, provided that Zowie shall use commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to the usage guidelines furnished by Customer with respect to Customer’s Marks.
Zowie may use subcontractors, and other third-party providers (“Subcontractors”) in connection with the performance of its own obligations hereunder as it deems appropriate; provided that the Zowie remains responsible for the performance of each such Subcontractor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any third-party vendors including any hosting (e.g. AWS) or payment vendors (e.g. PayPal), Zowie will use commercially reasonable efforts to guard against any damages or issues arising in connection with such vendors, but will not be liable for the acts or omissions of such third-party vendors except to the extent that it has been finally adjudicated that such damages or issues are caused directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Zowie.
Customer will comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations and rules that prohibit or restrict the export or re-export of the Subscription Services or software, or any Customer Materials, outside the United States (“Export Rules”), and will complete all undertakings required by Export Rules, including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval.
The Subscription Services, software and Documentation are “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” respectively, as such terms are used in FAR 12.212 and other relevant government procurement regulations. Any use, duplication, or disclosure of the software or its documentation by or on behalf of the U.S. government is subject to restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.
The relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to establish any partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the Parties. Neither Party will have the power or authority to bind the other or incur any obligations on the other’s behalf without the other Party’s prior written consent.
No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
