We warrant that we have all necessary licences, consents, and permissions necessary for the performance of our obligations under these Terms at the time you use AskGaiusTM.

Intellectual property

You and your licensors (if any) are at all times the owner of all intellectual property relating to the information you provide us, including all Inputs into AskGaiusTM (“User IP”). Nothing in these Terms gives us any rights in respect of any User IP and we do not acquire any ownership rights in relation to such by providing access to AskGaiusTM, save you grant us a licence to use the User IP in relation to the Inputs solely to the extent necessary to provide you with the Outputs.

We own all right, title and interest in and to the name, brand, logo and trade mark AskGaiusTM, the AskGaiusTM model (including any of its algorithms, underlying logic and code), the Documentation, the Outputs and any related software or information provided by us (all together, the “Gaius IP”) and will provide you with access to (but do not sell) AskGaiusTM to the extent necessary to use AskGaiusTM and the Documentation in accordance with these Terms. We (and our licensors (if any)) are at all times the owner of all intellectual property relating to the Gaius IP, including any modifications, alterations, updates or additions to any of the foregoing (whether or not made at your request). Subject to your payment of the applicable Fees, we hereby grant you a license to use AskGaiusTM and the Documentation for your own personal, non-commercial use in the internal conduct of your business in accordance with and for the term of the agreement between us under these Terms. In addition, subject to your payment of the applicable Fees, we hereby grant you a license to use, copy and exploit the Outputs generated by your use of the tools for your own internal business purposes. Nothing in these Terms gives you any rights in respect of any of our (or our licensors’ (if any)) intellectual property and you do not acquire any ownership rights in such by using or receiving the Gaius IP provided by us. We reserve all rights in and to the Gaius IP. Where AskGaiusTM is delivered to you on media, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you acquire ownership or possession of the media but not of the data and information (including software, code, data and information) relating to AskGaiusTM which is stored on the media.

You shall not:

  1. except as may be allowed by Applicable Law which is incapable of exclusion by agreement between the parties and except to the extent expressly permitted under these Terms:
    1. attempt to copy, modify, duplicate, create derivative works from, frame, mirror, republish, download, display, transmit, or distribute all or any portion of the Gaius IP (as applicable) in any form or media or by any means; or
    2. attempt to de-compile, reverse compile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise reduce to human-perceivable form all or any part of the Gaius IP.
  2. access all or any part of Gaius IP in order to build a product or service which competes with AskGaiusTM.
  3. use the Gaius IP to provide services to third parties.

  5. attempt to obtain, or assist third parties in obtaining, access to the Gaius IP, other than as provided under this clause 8.

  7. use any Outputs, whether alone or in combination with other data, to train, develop, fine-tune, or otherwise create or improve any artificial intelligence or machine learning model or system that competes with the tool.

Intellectual Property may contain code, commonly referred to as open-source software, which is distributed under any of the many known variations of open source licence terms, including terms which allow the free distribution and modification of the relevant software’s source code and/or which require all distributors to make such source code freely available upon request, including any contributions or modifications made by such distributor (collectively, “Open Source Software”). To the extent that AskGaiusTM uses or contains any Open Source Software, that element only is licensed to you under the relevant licence terms of the applicable third party licensor (“Open Source Licence Terms”) and not under these Terms, and you accept and agree to be bound by such Open Source Licence Terms.   In addition, AskGaiusTM may include third party software, products or services (“Third Party Products”). We do not accept any responsibility for Third Party Products and these will be licensed to you under the relevant licence terms of the applicable third party and we are not responsible for them.

Feedback

You may, but are not required to, give us suggestions, feedback, or comments about AskGaiusTM, the Documentation, or related offerings (“Feedback”), in which case the Feedback you give is “AS IS”. We may use (or not use at our sole discretion) all Feedback freely for any purpose without any restriction or obligation. By providing us with Feedback, you give us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, fully-paid and royalty-free license to use and exploit in any manner any and all Feedback, and you waive any legal or other rights to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law.

You assume sole responsibility for use of any Output from the use of AskGaiusTM and the Documentation, and for any conclusions drawn from such use.

Subject to clause 10.1, we shall not be liable for (i) any losses attributable to errors or omissions in any Output from AskGaiusTM; (ii) any action or inaction taken by you based on such Output; (iii) anything you accept under these Terms or your breach of these Terms; or (iv) anything that is outside of our reasonable control.

We shall only be liable for loss that is both direct and foreseeable.

In relation to each AskGaius device bought at the Founder Price, our total liability to you shall not exceed £150. Otherwise our total liability to you for each AskGaius device shall not exceed the fee paid by you to us for the AskGaius device.

Cancellation Rights

If you are a consumer (meaning an individual acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside that individual's trade, business, craft or profession), you have the right to cancel your purchase of AskGaiusTM under these Terms solely during the cancellation period as set out in clause 11.2 below.

You have 14 days after the day on which AskGaiusTM comes into your physical possession (or the physical possession of a person identified by you to take possession) to cancel your purchase of AskGaiusTM free of charge without giving any reason and without incurring any liability. To exercise your cancellation right, you must, before the expiry of the cancellation period, inform us of your decision to cancel your purchase of AskGaiusTM by a clear statement in writing communicated to us by email at: sales@askgaius.com. You may use the cancellation form provided at Schedule 1, but it is not obligatory.

Effect of cancellation

If you cancel your purchase of AskGaiusTM within the cancellation period and in accordance with this clause 11, we will refund you all the Fees received from you, including the cost of delivery (if any). We will refund you without undue delay, and in any event not later than:

  1. 14 calendar days from the day we receive back AskGaiusTM, or you provide evidence that you have returned AskGaiusTM; or
  2. If AskGaiusTM has not yet been supplied, 14 calendar days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel your purchase of AskGaiusTM.

We will make any refund using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the refund. We may withhold the refund until we have received AskGaiusTM back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back AskGaiusTM, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back AskGaiusTM to the address we specify to you separately, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we receive your notice to cancel your purchase of AskGaiusTM. The deadline is met if you send back AskGaiusTM before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning AskGauisTM to us.

You are only liable for any diminished value of AskGiausTM resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of AskGaiusTM.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and, for the benefit of both parties, the English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, or in connection with, these Terms, or the breach, termination or invalidity of them, or relating to any non-contractual obligations arising from or in connection with them.

Entire agreement

Your agreement with us under Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior agreement, terms and conditions or arrangement in respect of their subject matter. There are no promises, representations, warranties, terms, conditions or obligations (whether made by a party to these Terms or any other person) between the parties other than those set out in these Terms.

Neither party has entered into these Terms in reliance upon, and will have no remedy in respect of, any misrepresentation, representation or statement which is not expressly set out or referred to in these Terms. The only remedy available for any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or statement set out or referred to in these Terms shall be for breach of contract.

Miscellaneous

Your agreement with us under these Terms shall commence on the earlier of you paying the Fee or you first using AskGaiusTM.

We do not provide, nor do we accept responsibility for, any legal, tax or accounting advice.

Nothing in these Terms shall give rise to a partnership, agency, employment relationship or joint venture between the parties. To the extent that we may be deemed under applicable law to owe any fiduciary duties to you or to be in a fiduciary relationship, we explicitly exclude and reject any such duties or relationship to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. 

Each of the provisions of these Terms are separate, severable and enforceable and, accordingly, if at any time any provision or part-provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these Terms. If any provision or part-provision of these Terms is deemed deleted under this clause 14.4, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree a replacement provision that, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.

The parties do not intend that the provisions of these Terms shall be enforceable by any person not a party to it.

No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right, power or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right, or any other right, nor shall any single or partial exercise by us of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of that right or any other right, power or remedy.

We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time, in which case the updated version of these Terms shall apply to any version of AskGaiusTM purchased after the changes are made.
