1. Definitions and Structure
In this Agreement:
- “Software” means the software product or service identified in the applicable Order Form, together with any related Documentation;
- “Order Form” means an ordering document executed by the parties (or accepted by Customer online) that identifies the specific Software, term, fees, user counts, and any other commercial terms;
- “Documentation” means the user documentation made available by Claio.ai for the applicable Software;
- “Customer” (and/or “You/Your”) means the entity identified in the applicable Order Form, or, where no Order Form has been executed, the entity or individual that creates an account with the Software;
- “Customer Data” means data, content, or information submitted to or processed by the Software by or on behalf of Customer; and
- “Product-Specific Terms” means terms applicable to a particular Software offering, made available by Claio.ai and incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
Multiple Products
Customer may subscribe to one or more Software offerings under separate Order Forms. Each Order Form is governed by this Agreement together with any Product-Specific Terms applicable to the Software identified on that Order Form. Each Order Form has its own subscription term, fees, and renewal cycle.
Order of Precedence
In the event of any conflict, the documents shall control in the following order: (1) the applicable Order Form; (2) any Product-Specific Terms applicable to the Software identified in that Order Form; and (3) this Agreement. A conflict in one Order Form shall not affect any other Order Form.
Product-Specific Terms
Claio.ai may publish Product-Specific Terms or Schedules applicable to particular Software offerings (including, without limitation, payments, AI/ML, beta or early access, and integration services). Such terms are incorporated into this Agreement upon execution of an Order Form for the applicable Software.
2. Term
This Agreement is effective upon creation of an account in the Software or upon execution of the first Order Form, whichever is earlier, and will continue until all Order Forms have expired or been terminated in accordance with their terms or this Agreement. Each Order Form will commence on its effective date and continue for the initial term specified therein, after which it will automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal to the initial term unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term. Either party may terminate an individual Order Form (without affecting any other Order Form) for the other party’s material breach if such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice. Claio.ai may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice if Customer breaches any provision of this Agreement. The following provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Section 4 (Intellectual Property and Ownership), Section 8 (Non-Disclosure), Section 11 (Customer Data; Usage Data; AI Features), Section 13 (Warranties Disclaimer), Section 14 (Infringement Indemnity), Section 15 (Limitation of Liability), Section 16 (Applicable Law), Section 27 (Data Protection and Health Information Privacy, including all Exhibits), and any other provisions that by their nature are intended to survive.

Customer may use each Software offering only during the subscription term specified in the applicable Order Form and only to the extent fees for such term have been paid.
The Software is licensed for Customer's internal business purposes. No rights to sublicense or market the Software or Documentation are granted. All rights not specifically granted to Customer by this Agreement will remain in Claio.ai.
