Active Users may be required to uninstall out of date or older versions of the Hunni API, Hunni Excel Add-in or other link or software and download and reinstall a then-current version of each. Hunni may select and determine the formats that are compatible with the Platform and may change them from time to time in its sole discretion.

(ii) Authorized User represents and warrants that it is authorized to provide all Content and that it is not violating any law or right of any third party in doing so.

(v) User Information. As indicated herein, the collection, maintenance and use of all personally identifiable and related information about, or in connection with, Active Users shall be governed by the Hunni’s Privacy Policy. Customer warrants that its collection of all data pertaining to any Authorized User is, and shall remain, in accordance with all laws and that Customer has, and will continue to have, all right to collect, maintain and use that data. The collection, maintenance and use of data as described in this paragraph means and includes, without limitation, obtaining data, importing data into the Platform, exporting data from the Platform, identifying and transmitting information about Authorized User.
i. General Content Limitations. Active Users may not use the Platform in any manner (or add, submit, or transmit any Content in or to the Platform) that contains, posts, shares, or transmits any material that: (1) is false, misleading, libelous, private, or other disparaging content; (2) is improper or unlawful (or for any illegal purpose or in violation of any local, state, national, or international law); (3) is defamatory, offensive, obscene, or otherwise objectionable or causes offense based upon one’s race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, nationality or disability (or harasses, threatens, demeans, embarrasses, bullies, or otherwise harms anyone); (4) breaches the confidence or privacy of any third-party's rights; (5) includes, contains or comprises any sensitive personal data, such as health information, government issued identification numbers, banking information, credit card numbers and the like; (6) violates copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right.

Although we describe how we use aggregated information, aggregated and/or anonymized data does not constitute personal data and is not subject to the Hunni Privacy Policy. From time to time, Hunni may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Platform.

The Platform may contain or link to Third Party Products and, in certain situations; Third Party Products may require notices to other licensors and/or compliance with additional terms and conditions. If applicable, such required Third Party Product notices and/or additional terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these terms and conditions.
3. Fees, Payments.
a. Fees. Customer shall timely pay to Hunni fees in U.S. dollars on the date and in the manner as set forth in the applicable Platform Invoice (the “Fees”), which shall indicate the tiered-package, the monthly or yearly billing period as well as fees for additional stage and Active Users (and Internal and External Users may be calculated separately). In the event that Hunni does not receive payment of any Fees when due, interest shall accrue at the maximum rate allowed by law. Hunni reserves the right to increase Fees in the ordinary course of business and will notify you at least twenty-one (21) days in advance of such increase (“Notice Period”). Upon receipt of the notice, you have the right to terminate in accordance with section 5; provided, however, if you do not terminate during the Notice Period, you agree to such increase.
b. Payment. Hunni uses a third-party payment processor, such as Stripe, for the payment of all Fees. Customers must submit a valid payment card (debit, credit) through the applicable third-party payment processor. Hunni does not operate, own, or control the payment processor; thus, the use of your payment card is subject to the policies, procedures and is governed by your agreement with the payment processor. You agree to immediately notify the payment processor of any change in your billing address or other information for your payment card.
c. Fee Adjustments. The Fees will remain fixed for the then-current Term; provided, however, the Fee may increase if (i) the Customer wishes to increase the levels and limits (a tiered-package) set forth in the Platform Invoice(s) during the then-current Term, (ii) Customer procures additional storage, or users; (iii) Customer procures additional components, as may be available from time to time (in which case the additional components will be pro-rated from the date of the new Platform Invoice through the end of the then-current Term); and/or (iv) Customer upgrades a tiered-package. Fees may not be decreased or downgraded during the Term. Customer may also change the tiered-package before each Renewal Term.
d. Services, Expenses. Although the Terms of Service do not contemplate Hunni providing services to the Customer, or the creation and delivery of deliverables, in the event the parties determine that services and/or deliverables will be provided, the Platform Invoice and a corresponding statement of work will set forth the scope of the services and the amount of the fees. Further, only with Customer written preapproval, Hunni shall bill Customer for the actual cost of any out-of-pocket expenses (such as telephones, meals, travel, etc.) with respect to any expenses incurred in connection with the performance of such services.
e. Taxes. All invoiced amounts are exclusive of any and all value added, use, sales, service, property or other taxes or contributions. Customer shall be responsible for payment of any such value added, use, sales, service, property or other taxes or contributions that are, or should ultimately be, assessed against or required to be collected by Hunni in connection with Hunni' performance hereunder (except to the extent Customer is exempt by law and can provide Hunni with a bona fide exemption certificate).
f. Fee Disputes. In the event that Customer disputes, in good faith, any charges on an invoice, it shall notify the controller at Hunni at the address listed in the appropriate Platform Invoice of such dispute with a detailed written explanation prior to the date that the invoiced amount is due. The parties shall use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute within ten (10) days after Customer notifies Hunni; provided, however, that Customer shall continue to timely pay Hunni any portion of the invoice not subject to a good faith dispute.
g. Fees at Termination. Customer will remain liable after termination or expiration for all applicable Fees and other charges accrued hereunder prior to such termination and reasonable fees for the costs of collection of same.
4. Proprietary Rights.

For avoidance of doubt, Hunni owns all right, title and interest in and to all visual interfaces, graphics, designs, compilations, information, data, computer code (including source code or object code), products, software, services, and all other elements of the Platform provided by Hunni. Hunni reserves all rights not granted expressly in these Terms of Service.
b. Customer Information. All right, title and interest in and to the Customer Information and any and all Intellectual Property Rights therein shall belong exclusively to Customer.

c. Automated Decision Making, Mobile Application. In the future, the Platform may contain technology that includes the ability to track usage, make decisions, predict behavior, and draw certain analysis from Authorized User’s responses and navigation within the Platform. If Hunni adopts this type of technology, it will not involve the denial of or approval for access to the Platform and all information provided in an AI chatbot will be included in the definition of Customer Information. Should any Authorized User wish to opt-out of this type of technology, the Authorized User must submit a request to Hunni. In the future, Hunni may make a mobile application available and, if so, these Terms of Service will apply, unless Hunni determines other obligations will apply to such application.
5. Term and Termination.
a. Term. The applicable Platform Invoice – and these Terms of Service - shall commence on the date stated on the Platform Invoice and shall continue for the period specified in the Platform Invoice, which shall be either one year or monthly (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated as described below. After the Initial Term, these Terms of Service and each Platform Invoice shall automatically renew for successive periods of either one (1) month or one (1) year as applicable (each, a “Renewal Term” and the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms shall be collectively known as the “Term”) unless either party provides written notice of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term.

All Fees and other payments due hereunder shall continue to be due and immediately payable.
(ii) In the event that either party breaches any term or condition of the Terms of Service in any material respect, the other party shall have the right to terminate the Terms of Service if the breaching party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party, which notice shall specify the nature of the default.

(iii) Hunni will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Authorized User may incur as a result of a suspension or termination.

Hunni may make changes, impose limits, and occasionally suspend or terminate the features, functions or certain aspects of the Platform.
d. Data at Termination; Individual Authorized User Cancellation.
(i) Data at Termination. Upon termination of your account at the end of the Term your access to the Platform, and the Content, will likewise terminate. Therefore, you are solely responsible for downloading and exporting all Content from the Platform prior to the termination date. Hunni will delete the Content in accordance with its standard retention and destruction policies.

You may seek assistance for the download or export by contacting [email protected].
(ii) Active Users. As detailed in the privacy policy, you may send an email to [email protected] to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. Thus, if you would like for Hunni to delete your account and your personal information contained in the account, please submit a request to [email protected] and provide your name, the username Customer name, if applicable and the information you wish to correct or delete. On receiving such a request, Hunni will use reasonable efforts to delete such information and will do so in accordance with Hunni’s Privacy Policy, noting that information may not be deleted immediately from any back-up systems and further noting that certain information may be retained to comply with the written agreement with the Customer and/or applicable law.

(iii) Business Account. The Customer will have the right to assign the number of Active Users as set forth in the Platform Invoice. Customers may delete, reassign, deactivate and take other actions with respect to each Authorized User as permitted in the Platform.

To downgrade the number of Active Users (or the amount of storage or files) at the end of the Term, Customers must submit a request through the Platform and Hunni will facilitate the downgrade, which may include – at Hunni’s sole discretion – (i) allowing for an export of Content; (ii) deleting any and all Content that exceeds the amount of storage, files or Active Users (or connections thereto); and/or (iii) allowing a time for the Customer to delete Content. The Customer recognizes that Content is associated with an Authorized User and actions with respect to such Authorized User may impact (including losing) Content.
e. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Terms of Service or any Platform Invoice, Customer may no longer access the relevant Hunni Materials, or any rights or licenses granted to Customer under each Platform Invoice that has been terminated.
