Except as expressly stated in these Terms or an Order Form, all fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable.

If BBos is required by Law to collect or remit Taxes, BBos will invoice Client for such Taxes and Client will pay them, unless Client timely provides BBos with a valid tax exemption certificate acceptable to the applicable taxing authority. If any Taxes are required to be withheld on payments to BBos, Client will pay such additional amounts as necessary to ensure that BBos receives the full amount it would have received absent such withholding. Client will provide BBos with official receipts or other evidence reasonably requested by BBos to establish that such Taxes have been paid.

Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form: (a) BBos will charge Client in advance for recurring subscription fees and in arrears for any variable, usage-based, or overage fees; (b) Client authorizes BBos to charge any payment method on file for all fees incurred; (c) Invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date; (d) Client must maintain valid payment information on file with BBos; and (e) Client will immediately notify BBos of any change in billing address or payment method.
5.4 Payment Disputes. Client must notify BBos in writing within seven (7) days after receiving an invoice or credit card statement if Client disputes any charges.

5.5 Late Payments. Any undisputed amount not paid when due will: (a) accrue interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by Law, from the due date until the date payment is received in full; and (b) entitle BBos, in addition to any other rights and remedies, to suspend Services, condition future renewals on shorter payment terms, or require payment in advance.
5.6 Fee Changes. BBos may change its fees at any time for new subscriptions by posting updated pricing on its website or Services. For existing subscriptions, BBos may increase fees for any renewal term by providing written notice of such increase at least sixty (60) days prior to the start of the applicable renewal term. If Client does not wish to renew at the increased fees, Client may provide notice of non-renewal in accordance with Section 11.1 prior to the renewal date.

6.3 Improvements. BBos may, in its sole discretion, make Improvements to the Services or Documentation, including updates, upgrades, error corrections, new features, or removal of features. Unless otherwise stated in an Order Form, any such Improvements that BBos makes generally available to its customers will be deemed part of the Services and subject to these Terms. BBos has no obligation to provide any particular Improvements or maintain any particular features.
6.4 Feedback. If Client or any Authorized User provides suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, recommendations, or other feedback regarding the Services or Documentation (collectively, "Feedback"), BBos may freely use, disclose, reproduce, license, distribute, and otherwise exploit such Feedback without restriction or obligation to Client.

12. Compliance, Export, and Anti-Corruption
12.1 Compliance with Laws. Each party will comply with all applicable Laws in connection with its performance under these Terms. Client is solely responsible for determining whether the Services are appropriate for use under any Laws applicable to Client's business or industry.
12.2 Export Control. The Services, Software, Documentation, and related technical data may be subject to export control and sanctions Laws, including those of the United States. Each party will comply with all such Laws in connection with these Terms. Client will not, and will not permit any Authorized User or third party to, directly or indirectly export, re-export, or release the Services, Software, Documentation, or any related technology: (a) to any jurisdiction, person, or entity prohibited by applicable Laws, including any jurisdiction subject to U.S. embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country; (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Persons List or Entity List, or any similar list maintained by applicable authorities; or (c) for any purpose prohibited by applicable Laws, including the development, design, manufacture, or production of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons.

12.4 Government Use. If Client is a U.S. government entity or if use of the Services is for U.S. government purposes, the Services constitute "Commercial Computer Software" and "Commercial Computer Software Documentation" as defined in FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202. Use, duplication, and disclosure of the Services by the U.S. government is subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
13.1 Governing Law. These Terms and all claims or disputes arising out of or related to these Terms, their subject matter, or their formation, including non-contractual claims or disputes, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
13.2 Informal Resolution. Before initiating formal dispute resolution, a party must provide written notice of the dispute to the other party, including a description of the dispute, all relevant documents or information, and the proposed resolution. The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the dispute through discussions between executives with decision-making authority over a period of at least thirty (30) days.
13.3 Mediation. If the dispute is not resolved under Section 13.2, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by non-binding mediation before a mutually agreed mediator in Los Angeles County, California. The mediation will be conducted in accordance with the mediation procedures of JAMS or another mutually agreed alternative dispute resolution provider. Each party will bear its own costs of mediation and will share equally the mediator's fees. Either party may terminate mediation at any time after the first mediation session.
13.4 Arbitration. Except for claims seeking injunctive or equitable relief or to enforce an arbitration award, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms that is not resolved under Sections 13.2 and 13.3 will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (or if JAMS is unavailable, the American Arbitration Association) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted: (a) by a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, selected in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; (b) in English; (c) in Los Angeles County, California, unless the parties agree otherwise; and (d) in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator awards such fees and costs to the prevailing party. The arbitrator will have authority to grant any remedy or relief that would be available in court, except that the arbitrator may not award punitive or exemplary damages except to the extent permitted by these Terms.
13.5 Class Action Waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO FILE, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR TO SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. IF ANY COURT OR ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION IS VOID OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, OR THAT AN ARBITRATION CAN PROCEED ON A CLASS BASIS, THEN THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL BE DEEMED NULL AND VOID IN THEIR ENTIRETY AND THE PARTIES SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE NOT AGREED TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES.
13.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. THE PARTIES INSTEAD ELECT THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS SECTION 13. IN THE EVENT ANY LITIGATION SHOULD ARISE IN ANY COURT (NOTWITHSTANDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT) IN A SUIT TO VACATE OR ENFORCE AN ARBITRATION AWARD OR OTHERWISE, YOU AND BBOS WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AND INSTEAD ELECT THAT THE DISPUTE BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE.
13.7 Confidentiality of Proceedings. All aspects of any arbitration or mediation, including any rulings, decisions, or awards, will be confidential, except: (a) to the extent disclosure is required by Law; (b) to enforce an arbitration award; or (c) as necessary to seek injunctive or equitable relief in court.
13.8 Injunctive Relief and Jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the arbitration provisions in Section 13.4, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief at any time in any court of competent jurisdiction, including the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, to: (a) protect its intellectual property rights or Confidential Information; (b) enforce Sections 3.3, 6, or 7; or (c) prevent irreparable harm. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts for these limited purposes and waives any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.
13.9 Time Limit. Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action accrues, or it will be permanently barred. For purposes of this Section, a claim accrues when the party knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim.
14. Changes to these Terms
14.1 Updates. BBos may modify these Terms from time to time by posting updated Terms on its website or within the Services and updating the "Last Updated" date. BBos may also provide additional notice of material changes by email to the address associated with Client's Account or by prominent notice within the Services.
14.2 Acceptance of Changes. Changes will become effective: (a) immediately upon posting for new users or new subscriptions; (b) thirty (30) days after posting or notice for existing subscriptions, unless BBos specifies a different effective date; or (c) immediately if required by Law or to address a security risk. If Client does not agree to the updated Terms, Client must stop using the Services before the changes become effective. Client's continued use of the Services after the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Miscellaneous
15.1 Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Neither party has authority to bind the other party or to make commitments on the other party's behalf without the other party's prior written consent.
15.2 Assignment. Client may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, without BBos's prior written consent, which may be withheld in BBos's sole discretion. BBos may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without Client's consent: (a) to any Affiliate; (b) in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of BBos's assets; or (c) to any successor entity. Any assignment in violation of this Section 15.2 is void. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and benefit the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
15.3 Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms (other than payment obligations) due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, strikes, epidemics, pandemics, government actions, power or internet failures, or failures of third-party service providers (a "Force Majeure Event"). If a Force Majeure Event occurs: (a) the affected party will promptly notify the other party; (b) the affected party's obligations will be suspended for the duration of the Force Majeure Event; and (c) the affected party will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event prevents BBos from providing the Services for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, Client may terminate the affected subscription upon written notice and receive a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees for the unused portion of the subscription term.
15.4 Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. These Terms, together with all Order Forms and any exhibits or addenda expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, representations, or understandings, written or oral, concerning such subject matter. In the event of any conflict: (a) an Order Form will control over these Terms solely with respect to the commercial terms expressly stated in such Order Form (such as pricing, subscription tier, number of Authorized Users, and term); (b) these Terms will control over any purchase order, vendor form, or other Client procurement document; and (c) any additional or conflicting terms in purchase orders or other Client documents are hereby rejected and will have no effect.
15.5 Amendments and Waivers. Except as provided in Section 14 (Changes to these Terms), any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of these Terms must be in writing and signed or otherwise approved by authorized representatives of both parties. No waiver of any breach will be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.
15.6 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be modified and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable Law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, so long as the essential purpose of these Terms is not frustrated.
15.7 Notices. All notices under these Terms must be in writing and will be deemed given: (a) when delivered personally or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service; (b) three (3) business days after being sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; or (c) when sent by email to the address associated with the recipient's Account (for notices to Client) or to the address below (for notices to BBos), provided that the sender receives an acknowledgment of receipt. Notices to BBos should be sent to: BBos Holdings, LLC Attn: Legal Department 612 S. Cochran Ave. #409 Los Angeles, CA 90036 Email: info@bbos.ai
15.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto.
15.9 Language. It is the express wish of the parties that these Terms and all related documents have been drawn up in English. C'est la volonté expresse des parties que la présente convention ainsi que les documents qui s'y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.
15.10 Interpretation. The headings in these Terms are for convenience only and will not affect their interpretation. As used in these Terms, "including" means "including without limitation." The words "herein," "hereof," and "hereunder" refer to these Terms as a whole. The word "will" has the same meaning as "shall."
15.11 Electronic Communications and Signatures. Client consents to receive communications from BBos in electronic form, including via email or by posting notices within the Services or on BBos's website. Client agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that BBos provides electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Electronic signatures and electronic records will have the same legal effect as physical signatures and records.
15.12 Publicity. BBos may identify Client as a customer of BBos and may use Client's name and logo on BBos's website, in marketing materials, and in customer lists, subject to any reasonable trademark usage guidelines provided by Client. Client may revoke this permission at any time by providing written notice to BBos, and BBos will cease such use within thirty (30) days.
15.13 Government Rights. If Client is a U.S. government entity or if use of the Services is for U.S. government purposes, the provisions of Section 12.4 apply.
15.14 Equitable Relief. Client acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of Sections 3.3, 6, or 7 may cause irreparable harm to BBos for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, BBos will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, without the need to post bond and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies BBos may have.
15.15 Costs of Enforcement. If BBos is required to engage legal counsel or take other action to enforce these Terms or collect amounts owed by Client, Client will reimburse BBos for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
15.16 Counterparts. These Terms and any Order Form may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
