This Master Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by People.ai, Inc. (“People.ai”), a Delaware corporation and the entity listed as the customer on the applicable Order Form (“Customer”) as of the Effective Date (as defined below). This Agreement will be effective on the date Customer enters into an Order Form or other ordering document referencing this Agreement (the “Effective Date”).

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Provision of Services

1. Provision of Service and Access Credentials. People.ai will make the Services available to Customer pursuant to this Agreement and all Order Forms during the Term. Access to the Services may be provided to Customer based on the number of Users, or some other metric, as specified in the applicable Order Form. All access and use of the Services by Users will be through a third-party identity provider that is compatible with the Services. Customer is responsible for the provisioning, use, and configuration of the third-party identity provider.
2. Customer Affiliates. Customer may also permit its Affiliates and their employees and contractors working for the benefit of Customer or such Affiliates to serve as Users, provided Customer remains responsible for compliance by such individuals with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Alternatively, Customer Affiliates may purchase Subscriptions and Professional Services by executing Order Forms or Statements of Work hereunder that references the terms of this Agreement, and in each such case, all references in this Agreement to Customer will be deemed to refer to such Customer Affiliate for purposes of such Order or Statements of Work and such Affiliates will be responsible for their compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
3. Service Levels and Support Services. People.ai will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available in accordance with the service levels set out in Exhibit A. People.ai will also provide Support Services to Customer in accordance with People.ai’s service support schedule set out in Exhibit A.

2. Customer Systems. Customer’s right to use Customer Systems is governed by the terms and conditions established by each Customer Systems’ provider with Customer directly.
3. Remedies. People.ai may temporarily suspend Customer’s (including Users’) access to the Services if People.ai reasonably determines that: (i) there is, or there is reasonably likely to be, a threat on the People.ai Materials caused by Customer; (ii) Customer’s use of the People.ai Materials disrupts or poses a security risk to the People.ai Materials or to any other customer or vendor of People.ai; (iii) Customer, or any User, is using the People.ai Materials for fraudulent or illegal activities; (iv) in accordance with Section 4.6(a) (any such suspension will be considered a “Service Suspension”). If Customer (including Users) is using the Service in a manner that, in People.ai’s reasonable judgment, causes or is likely to cause significant harm to People.ai or the Service or otherwise threatens the security, integrity or availability of the Service, then People.ai may suspend Customer’s access to the Service. People.ai will use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances of such suspension to (x) provide Customer with notice and an opportunity to remedy such violation or threat prior to any such suspension; (y) limit the suspension to only Users involved in the activities in question; and (z) remove the suspension as quickly as practicable after the circumstances leading to the suspension have been resolved.

3. Information Security

1. People.ai System and Security Obligations. People.ai will (i) comply with all Laws in providing the Services and Professional Services; (ii) People.ai will employ reasonable security measures to protect Customer Data in accordance with People.ai’s information security policy as amended by People.ai from time to time (the “Information Security Policy”). Such Information Security Policy will state administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect Customer Data from unauthorized access, acquisition, or disclosure, destruction, alteration, accidental loss, misuse, or damage that are no less rigorous than generally accepted industry practices and will ensure that all such safeguards comply with data protection and privacy Laws, as well as the terms and conditions of this Agreement. At a minimum, People.ai’s safeguards for the protection of Customer Data will include: (a) limiting access of Customer Data to Customer and People.ai’s authorized personnel; (b) securing business facilities, data centers, paper files, servers, backup systems, and computing equipment, including, but not limited to, all mobile devices and other equipment with information storage capability; (c) implementing network, application, database, and platform security; (d) securing information transmission, storage, and disposal; (e) implementing authentication and access controls within media, applications, operating systems, and equipment; (f) encrypting Customer Data transmitted over public or wireless networks; (g) conducting risk assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scans and promptly implementing, at People.ai’s sole cost and expense, a corrective action plan to correct any issues that are reported as a result of the testing; (h) implementing appropriate personnel security and integrity procedures and practices, including, but not limited to, conducting background checks consistent with applicable law; and (i) providing appropriate privacy and information security training to People.ai’s employees.
2. Data Protection Agreement. If Customer’s use of the Services involves processing personal data pursuant to Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR”) and/or transferring personally identifiable information outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland to any country not deemed by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for such information or applicable regulations, the terms of the Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) located at https://www.people.ai/dpa or separately executed DPA will apply.

4. Fees

1. Fees. Customer will pay the fees specified in a Statement of Work or Order Form (“Fees”). Fees for the Services are based on Subscriptions purchased during the Term and not actual usage. All Fees are non-refundable, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement. Customer will make all payments hereunder in US dollars.
2. Invoicing and Payment. Except as otherwise specified in any Order Form or Statement of Work, all fees and charges under this Agreement will be invoiced in advance and are due net thirty (30) days from the date of Customer’s receipt of an undisputed the invoice.
3. User Re-assignment. Customer may reassign Subscriptions from time to time to new Users who replace former Users who no longer use or need access to the Service. Customer, however, may not allow more than one individual User to use or otherwise share a single Subscription.
4. Adding Users. Users that are given administrative permission by Customer may add new Users at any time through the Service. Upon adding additional User(s), Provider will contact Customer in writing to discuss Customer’s options. Customer will have thirty (30) days after receipt of People.ai’s written notice to Customer regarding the over-deployment to either (a) purchase a pro-rata subscription for such User(s) at the same price stated on the applicable, then-current Order Form by executing a new Order Form with People.ai, or (b) discontinue use of the over-deployed User seats. If, within such thirty (30) day period, Customer does not either execute a new Order Form for such additional Users or discontinue use of over-deployed User seats, Customer will be invoiced the current list price for those Users for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Period and be required to pay such invoices in accordance with this Agreement. As People.ai is a subscription services provider, the number of Users purchased under an Order Form cannot be decreased during the term of such Order Form.
5. Fees for Third-Party Services. Customer is responsible for all fees charged by its Customer Third-Party Services.
6. Failure to Pay. If Customer fails to pay any undisputed invoices in accordance with this section, People.ai may, provided that People.ai gives Customer written notice of such non-payment and ten (10) days from the date of such notice to remit the overdue, undisputed amounts in full: (a) suspend Customer’s access to the Service pending payment of such overdue invoices; and (b) charge a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower. If Customer believes that People.ai has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact People.ai no later than sixty (60) days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, to receive an adjustment or credit. Once People.ai receives notice of a disputed invoice, People.ai will review such notice and provide Customer with a written decision regarding the dispute, including documentary support for such decision. If People.ai reasonably determines that the amounts charged on a disputed invoice are, in fact, due, Customer will pay such amounts within ten (10) days of People.ai notifying Customer in writing of such decision.
7. Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on People.ai’s income, personnel, property, or other assets, or similar taxes not directly based on Customer’s use or consumption of People.ai’s products and services.
8. Subscriptions Through Resellers. If Customer purchases Subscriptions through a resale partner authorized by People.ai to resell such Subscriptions (“Reseller”), Customer will make all payments in accordance with the Order Form with the Reseller or People.ai. Reseller may offer different prices or different or additional terms and conditions for use of the Services than made available by People.ai. Any such different or additional terms and conditions (including any additional warranties) are between Customer and Reseller and People.ai assumes no responsibility for such terms. Customer understands and agrees that if Customer does not pay the Reseller in accordance with the applicable Order Form, People.ai will have the right to suspend Customer’s right to use and access the Service and to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Customer.”

1. Indemnification by People.ai. People.ai will indemnify and defend Customer against any demand, claim, loss, liability, or damage (“Losses”) arising out of or resulting from any claim, suit, action, or proceeding (each an “Action”) by a third-party (other than an Affiliate of the Customer’s indemnitees) to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from a claim that any of the Services or any People.ai Materials actually does or threatens to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any United States’ Intellectual Property Right, provided however, that People.ai will have no liability or obligation for any Action or Losses to the extent that such Action or Losses arise out of or results from any: (a) alteration or modification of the Services or the People.ai Materials without People.ai’s express written authorization; (b) use of the Services or the People.ai Materials by Customer or a User pursuant to this Agreement in combination with any apparatus, hardware, software or service not provided, authorized or approved by or on behalf of People.ai in writing; (c) access to or use of the Services or the People.ai Materials that is expressly prohibited by this Agreement or otherwise outside the scope of access or manner or purpose of use described or contemplated anywhere in this Agreement, the Documentation or the applicable Order Form; (d) any Customer Data or any instruction or information provided by Customer to People.ai and used in accordance with this Agreement; (e) violation of any applicable Law by Customer or any of its Users.

If People.ai reasonably determines that the foregoing remedies would be commercially impractical or impossible then People.ai will terminate this Agreement and promptly provide Customer with a pro-rata refund any prepaid Fees for the unused Services.
3. Indemnification by Customer. Customer will indemnify and defend People.ai and People.ai’s Affiliates from and against any and all Losses incurred by People.ai or People.ai’s Affiliates resulting from (i) any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of People.ai) that arise out of or result from, or are alleged to arise out of or result from any act, omission, or other matter described in subclause (a) through subclause (e) of Section 8.1, whether or not the same results in any Action or Losses by People.ai; or (ii) a claim that Customer or Customer Data, actually does or threatens to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any United States’ Intellectual Property Right or other right of a third-party.
4. Procedure. Each party’s obligations under Sections 8.1 and 8.3 are conditioned on the indemnified party (a) providing the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of the Action (provided that the indemnified party’s failure to provide such written notice will only relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent such failure materially limits or prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend or settle such Action), (b) granting the indemnifying party the sole control of the defense and settlement of the Action, and (c) providing reasonable information and assistance to the indemnifying party in the defense or settlement of the Action at the indemnifying party’s expense. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, any obligation of the indemnifying party to defend, indemnify and hold the indemnified party harmless hereunder is limited to the indemnifying party’s payment for the cost of defense of the third-party claim incurred by the indemnifying party and the payment of (i) any settlements agreed to by indemnifying party in a writing signed by an officer of indemnifying party, or (ii) final judgments awarded to the third-party claimant by a court of competent jurisdiction. The indemnifying party will not agree to any settlement of any Action that requires the indemnified party to make any admission of wrongdoing or to pay any amounts not covered by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent. Any indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.
5. Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 8 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDIES AND PEOPLE.AI’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES OR PEOPLE.AI MATERIALS INFRINGE, MISAPPROPRIATE, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATE ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

10. Term and Termination

1. Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue for the period specified in an Order Form (the “Term”), unless terminated earlier as provided in this Agreement.
2. Renewal Terms. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, Subscriptions will automatically renew for additional terms of equal length to the immediately preceding term (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either party gives the other written notice at least 30 days before the end of the then-current Term. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Order Form, discounts, promotions, and/or special pricing will not apply to Renewal Terms and People.ai’s applicable list prices will apply to all Subscriptions during Renewal Terms.

The foregoing price lock shall not apply if Customer does not automatically renew the Order Form.
3. Termination for Cause.

Termination of this Agreement by People.ai pursuant to this Section 10.3 does not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any Fees due.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Customer will be fully liable under this agreement to People.ai and its Affiliates for any damages arising out of Customer’s use of the Free Services, any breach by Customer of this Agreement, and any of Customer’s Indemnification obligations hereunder.
