1.2.
These Conditions together with the information on our website page from which you register for the Service forms the legal agreement between you (the “Customer”) and G-Square in relation to the Service ("Agreement").
1.3.
By accessing and using the Service you agreed to be bound by these Conditions. We may amend these Conditions from time to time. We will notify you when this happens and your continued use of the Service following notification will constitute your acceptance of the amended Conditions.
2.

Use of the Service is limited to the people within your organisation that you authorise (“Authorised Users”). Authorised Users will be able to access the account which is set up when you register with us (“Account”).

Authorised Users must keep a secure password for their use of the Service, which should be kept confidential and not shared.

G-Square shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to make the Service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except for:
3.2.1.
planned maintenance carried out during the agreed maintenance windows;
3.2.2.
unscheduled maintenance performed outside Normal Business Hours (9am-5pm UK time), provided that G-Square has used reasonable endeavours to give the Customer at least six (6) Normal Business Hours' notice in advance; and

4.
Customer Data
4.1.
We have no control over the questions which users of your Site (“Users”) may ask of a Chatbot.
4.2.
We will comply with our obligations under data protection legislation. We will be a controller (as that term is defined in data protection legislation) for personal data of Authorised Users which we need to set up the Account and enable their access to the Service.
4.3.
The “Customer Data” is the data we obtain from you to set up the Service, the questions asked of any Chatbot and the responses given.
4.4.
In the event of any loss or damage to Customer Data, the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy against G-Square shall be for G-Square to use reasonable commercial endeavours to restore the lost or damaged Customer Data from the latest back-up of such Customer Data maintained by G-Square in accordance with its standard back-up procedure. G-Square shall not be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of Customer Data caused by any third party (except those third parties sub-contracted by G-Square to perform services related to Customer Data maintenance and back-up, and for breaches of data protection legislation for which it shall remain fully liable).
4.5.
Although we do not see the Chatbot questions and responses, in the event that G-Square is considered a processor and the Customer a controller (as those terms are defined in the data protection legislation) of any personal data processed as part of the use of the Chatbot, then in relation to such processing:
4.5.1.
G-Square shall process personal data only in accordance with the Agreement and any lawful instructions reasonably given by the Customer from time to time;
4.5.2.
G-Square shall inform the Customer if, in the opinion of G-Square, the instructions of the Customer infringe data protection legislation, and shall be entitled to suspend Service until the instructions are clarified or amended;
4.5.3.
the scope, nature and purpose of the processing by G-Square is for the provision of the Service and the duration of the processing is concurrent with the duration of the Agreement;
4.5.4.
G-Square warrants that the provision of the Service includes the implementation of sufficient technical and organisational measures to ensure an appropriate level of security in relation to the processing of personal data as required by data protection legislation.
4.5.5.
G-Square shall as far as is possible and proportionate in relation to the nature of the processing, implement technical and organisation measures that assist the Customer with its obligations in relation to the exercise of data subject's rights as described in data protection legislation.
4.5.6.
the Customer acknowledges that G-Square is authorised (and the Customer now provides its prior general consent) to transfer personal data to a third-party AI service provider (including those outside the UK) which G-Square has engaged, or may engage, in relation to the Service on condition that any such transfer and engagement will be in accordance with data protection legislation.
4.6.
G-Square shall notify the Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of any breach of data protection legislation relating to the personal data. Such notification shall:
4.6.1.
include information on the nature of the breach and the data involved;
4.6.2.
describe the categories and approximate number of individuals concerned and the likely consequences;
4.6.3.
describe the measures taken or proposed to be taken to address the issue; and
4.6.4.
provide contact detail for the Customer to obtain more information on the issue.
4.7.
G-Square shall, at the choice of the Customer, delete or return all personal data to the Customer when the provision of the Service has been concluded, except where G-Square is required to retain any such personal data under any separate legal obligation.
4.8.
G-Square shall make available to the Customer such information as the Customer may reasonably request in relation to demonstrating compliance with data protection legislation, and shall participate in audits and inspections where reasonably requested by the Customer in relation to the demonstration of such compliance.
4.9.
G-Square shall be entitled to use the Customer Data for the purposes of its own analysis and research and development but only where the resulting data sets, insights or other analytical products created do not contain any personal data or any other identifiable Customer Data.
5.
Rights in the Service
5.1.
All intellectual property rights in the Software and Service are owned by or validly licensed to G-Square. The Software and Service are proprietary to G-Square (or the appropriate third-party rights owner) and the Customer and Authorised Users acquire no rights in or to the Software or Service other than those expressly granted by the Agreement.
6.
Payment
6.1.
The monthly subscription fee for each Chatbot is payable in advance. Without paying the subscription fee you can only test the Chatbot within the system, but the Chatbot won’t respond to any user request in the implemented version on your Site. Each monthly subscription includes US$5.00 of usage value per month. This included usage allowance resets on each billing date and unused allowance does not roll over.
6.2.
In addition we charge usage fees, denominated in US dollars, at the rates published on our pricing page at the time of use: text conversations are charged per million tokens processed (input and output priced separately), and voice conversations are charged per minute of connected call time (billed per second, rounded up to the nearest second). The voice rate is all-inclusive. When you register your account we will provide you with US$5.00 of free usage credit.
6.3.
Usage beyond your included monthly allowance is drawn from your prepaid credit balance. You may top up your credit balance in amounts between US$20.00 and US$200.00 (+VAT if applicable). Prepaid balance does not expire. Amounts you have paid for are refundable on request; free or promotional credit and the included monthly allowance are not refundable.
6.4.
Usage fees are debited from your account as usage occurs, in the order: included monthly allowance, then free or promotional credit, then prepaid balance. Historical usage is always charged at the rate in effect when the usage occurred.
6.5.
It is your responsibility to ensure you have a sufficient credit balance. If your balance and allowance are exhausted (or your configured monthly spend cap is reached), the Chatbot will stop responding to new requests until you top up; a voice call already in progress will be allowed to finish. We will notify you by email when your balance runs low.
6.6.
All payments shall be made via PayPal (or other payment provider that G-Square may nominate). G-Square does not collect any personal banking details (e.g. credit card details).
7.
Confidentiality
7.1.
Any confidential information we disclose to each other in relation to the Service shall be kept confidential and only used for the purpose it was disclosed.
7.2.
G-Square shall be entitled to reference the Customer as being a customer of G-Square in relation to its marketing activities.
8.

8.4.
Subject to Condition 8.3, in no event shall G-Square be liable for any loss of business, loss of profit, loss or corruption of data or for any indirect or consequential loss and G-Square’s total aggregate liability arising under the Agreement or otherwise relating to the Service shall be limited to the total Fees paid during any 6 month period of the Agreement.
8.5.
The parties acknowledge and agree that any dates quoted for delivery of the Service are approximate only, and that the time of delivery is not of the essence.

The mediation agreement referred to in the Model Mediation Procedure shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales.
