Dated: February 20, 2024

I have read the Terms and Conditions of Use (below) and agree to them.

I agree

1. This Terms and Conditions of Use (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you and Mayfair Group LLC d/b/a eSumry (hereinafter referred to as “eSumry”), the owner and developer of online services, which are accessed at https://www.eSumry.com.
2. By registering for, accessing, or using any materials or services provided by eSumry (the “Online Services”), you agree to be bound by all the terms (the “Terms”) set forth in this Agreement. The terms “you” and “your” in uppercase or lowercase shall mean the person or entity (e.g. company, corporation, partnership, sole proprietor, etc.) using the Online Services. If you are using the Online Services on behalf of a business or other entity, you represent that you have the legal authority to accept these Terms on behalf of that business or entity. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, DO NOT REGISTER FOR OR ACCESS ANY ESUMRY SERVICE.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF SERVICES

3. You are granted a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited right to access and use the Online Services made available to you, subject to the following:
   1. If you are not an Authorized User, you are not permitted to access or use the Online Services for any purpose whatsoever. If you nevertheless access and use the Online Services without authorization, you will be liable to eSumry for any breach of these Terms and Conditions of Use, as well as for unauthorized access and payment for use at the applicable rates.
   2. eSumry is a fictitious name and mark of Mayfair Group LLC. You may not exploit the goodwill of Mayfair, including its trademarks, service marks, or logos without the express written consent of Mayfair. Additionally, under no circumstances may you or any Authorized User offer any part of the Online Services for commercial resale or commercial redistribution in any medium.
   3. All right, title, and interest (including all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights) in the Online Services in any medium belongs to Mayfair. You do not acquire any proprietary interest in the Online Services, materials, or copies thereof, except the limited rights granted herein.
   4. You may not use the Online Services in any fashion that infringes the intellectual property rights or proprietary interests of Mayfair or any third party. You must not yourself, or permit any other person, to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, repackage, broadcast, reverse engineer, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes, in whole or in any part, any of the Online Services, content or infrastructure.
   5. Your use of the Online Services must comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
   6. You cannot assign this Agreement or in any way transfer your access to the Online Services to another party.
   7. Other provisions that govern use of the Online Services are set forth in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
4. Fees and Payments
   1. Fees and Billing. You will pay all fees charged to your account (“Fees”) according to the prices and terms on the applicable pricing page, or as otherwise agreed between us in writing. We have the right to correct pricing errors or mistakes even if we have already issued an invoice or received payment. You will provide complete and accurate billing information including a valid and authorized payment method. We will charge your payment method on an agreed-upon periodic basis but may reasonably change the date on which the charge is posted. You authorize eSumry and its affiliates, and our third-party payment processor(s), to charge your payment method for the Fees. If your payment cannot be completed, we will provide you written notice and may suspend access to the Services until payment is received. Fees are payable in U.S. dollars and are due upon invoice issuance. Payments are nonrefundable except as provided in this Agreement.
   2. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Fees do not include federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, and other similar assessments (“Taxes”). You are responsible for all Taxes associated with your purchase, excluding Taxes based on our net income, and we may invoice you for such Taxes. You agree to timely pay such Taxes and provide us with documentation showing the payment, or additional evidence that we may reasonably require. eSumry uses the name and address in your account registration as the place of supply for tax purposes, so you must keep this information accurate and up to date.
   3. Price Changes. We may change our prices by posting notice to your account and/or to our website. Price increases will be effective 14 days after they are posted, except for increases made for legal reasons or increases made to beta services we offer for early use and testing, which will be effective immediately. Any price changes will apply to the Fees charged to your account immediately after the effective date of the changes.
   4. Disputes and Late Payments. If you want to dispute any Fees or Taxes, please contact billing@eSumry.com within thirty (30) days of the date of the disputed invoice. Undisputed amounts past due may be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month. If any amount of your Fees is past due, we may suspend your access to the Services after we provide you written notice of late payment.
   5. Free Tier. You may not create more than one account to benefit from credits provided in the free tier of the Services. If we believe you are not using the free tier in good faith, we may charge you standard fees or stop providing access to the Services.
5. You are required to register to access or use certain Online Services. When you register, you must provide accurate, complete, and current information about yourself; you must safeguard the username and password provided to you; and you must not allow others to access the Online Services using your username and password.
6. You agree to access the Online Services only through the interface that is provided by eSumry. Should there be any breach of this requirement, eSumry shall be entitled to (a) equitable and injunctive relief to prevent unauthorized, negligent, or inadvertent disclosure, and (b) recover the amount of such damage (including attorney's fees and costs) to eSumry in connection with such breach.
7. Cookies are necessary for functionality, analytics, and tracking. By accessing or using the Online Services, you agree to accept all cookies.
8. The Online Services allow users to analyze, annotate, and summarize witness testimony by uploading digital deposition transcripts for searching and automated review to produce an output file for each deposition. To establish an account, you must provide your first and last name, work email address, username, and password. We use this information to authenticate users and provide the Online Services. When you access or use the Online Services, we log the file name of the document you upload, username, processing date, and any user-entered keywords. We may also record and analyze your interactions with the service to improve the user experience. We may employ a third-party for this, such as Google Analytics. The analytics we store will not include text from your uploaded document or notes you enter related to your document.
9. Upon request and approval by eSumry, users may utilize the Online Services to produce summaries of text documents and question-answering using artificial intelligence (AI) text generation services provided by third-party OpenAI. It is not necessary to use this text generation feature to use the Online Services. When using this feature, any submission by a user will be sent to OpenAI. OpenAI applies zero data retention to every request submitted using the eSumry Online Services. However, it is the user's responsibility to ensure personally identifiable information (PII) or other confidential information is not selected and sent to OpenAI, or that it is lawful and appropriate to send such information to OpenAI for processing. eSumry makes no claim or representation about the confidentiality of any data sent to OpenAI when using this feature and refers the user to OpenAI's Enterprise Privacy Terms which apply to the use of OpenAI's API services.
10. Users agree and understand that text generation services and other forms of AI are prone to errors, and it is the user's responsibility to evaluate the summarization output for factual correctness. You must evaluate output for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including using human review as appropriate, before using or sharing output from the Online Services. You should not rely on output from our Online Services as a substitute for professional advice. eSumry makes no claim or representation of accuracy when using the text generation feature.
11. Documents are automatically saved when they are first processed and will be retained until you delete them. We allow for saving your progress so you can leave your work and come back to it later. We utilize Amazon Web Services (AWS) to securely store the uploaded document and any related information you enter for it. You can delete these files at any time using the interface provided. Once deleted, a document cannot be restored.
12. By initiating a support request, you hereby grant eSumry express permission to access your account and the data contained within for the sole purpose of providing support services. This access is limited to the duration of the support incident and is strictly for troubleshooting, diagnosing, and resolving your issue. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of data privacy and security and, upon the conclusion of the support incident, we will ensure that any data accessed or used during the support process is securely deleted from our systems, in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable privacy laws.
13. You agree that the Online Services will only be used by You for your own business or professional purposes. You will not use the Online Services for any anticompetitive or improper purposes. You will use reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized use by others and will promptly notify eSumry, in writing, if you suspect another person or entity is misusing, compromising, or wrongfully accessing the Online Services. Additionally, you agree that:
    1. Use of the Online Services is permitted only by discrete, individual activities performed by a human. Any use of the Online Services via mechanical, programmatic, robotic, scripted, or other automated means is prohibited.
    2. To comply with local privacy, data protection and other laws, You may not access eSumry outside of the United States. Please review our current Privacy Policy, available at https://www.eSumry.com/privacy-policy, which contains important information about our practices in collecting, storing, using and disclosing information about identifiable individuals (“Personal Information”) and which is hereby incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement.
    3. The Online Services may be enhanced, added to, withdrawn, or otherwise modified by eSumry without notice and in its sole discretion.
