Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information. Although it does not form part of these Terms, it is an important document that you should read.

Software. Our Services may allow you to download software, such as mobile applications, which may update automatically to ensure you’re using the latest version. Our software may include open source software that is governed by its own licenses that we’ve made available to you.
Corporate Domains. If you create an account using an email address owned by an organization (for example, your employer), that account may be added to the organization's business account with us, in which case we will provide notice to you so that you can help facilitate the transfer of your account (unless your organization has already provided notice to you that it may monitor and control your account). Once your account is transferred, the organization’s administrator will be able to control your account, including being able to access Content (defined below) and restrict or remove your access to the account.
Third Party Services. Our services may include third party software, products, or services, (“Third Party Services”) and some parts of our Services, like our browse feature, may include output from those services (“Third Party Output”). Third Party Services and Third Party Output are subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.
Feedback. We appreciate your feedback, and you agree that we may use it without restriction or compensation to you.
Content
Your Content. You may provide input, including Financial Documents and Data, to the Services (“Input”), and receive output from the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “Content.” You are responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to provide Input to our Services.
Ownership of Content. As between you and Flextract, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you (a) retain your ownership rights in Input and (b) own the Output. We hereby assign to you all our right, title, and interest, if any, in and to Output.
Similarity of Content. Due to the nature of our Services and artificial intelligence generally, output may not be unique and other users may receive similar output from our Services. Our assignment above does not extend to other users’ output or any Third Party Output.
Our Use of Content. We may use Content to provide, maintain, develop, and improve our Services, comply with applicable law, enforce our terms and policies, and keep our Services safe.
Accuracy. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate and reliable. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may, in some situations, result in Output that may be inaccurate or unreliable.
When you use our Services you understand and agree:
- Output may not always be accurate. You should not rely on Output from our Services as a sole source of truth or factual information, or as a substitute for professional advice.
- 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 Services.
- You must not use any Output relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them without first ascertaining the accuracy of the information through other means.

Dispute Resolution
YOU AND FLEXTRACT AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS:
MANDATORY ARBITRATION. You and Flextract agree to resolve any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, and to finally settle all such disputes, by binding arbitration through the platform provided by New Era ADR (the “New Era Platform”) according to its rules and procedures for “Virtual Expedited Arbitrations” by a professional Neutral(s) with substantial experience in resolving commercial disputes (the “Neutral”). The Neutral shall be chosen in accordance with the rules and procedures of the New Era Platform. The arbitral decision may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent a claim cannot legally be arbitrated (as determined by an arbitrator in accordance with the paragraph below), the parties will bring the suit, action, or proceeding that cannot be arbitrated in the Chosen Courts and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts.
Any question or matter of arbitrability of a dispute shall be determined by the Neutral(s) assigned to, or chosen for, such dispute from the New Era ADR, Inc. panel of Neutrals. For clarity, this means any determination of (1) the enforceability of all or any provision of this Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any such provision is void or voidable, and (2) whether a dispute regarding the provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by arbitration, in each case, shall be determined solely by the Neutral(s) provided by New Era ADR Inc. and not in a court of law or other judicial forum. The parties agree and acknowledge that they are waiving their right to seek a determination of arbitrability in a court of law or other judicial forum.
A party shall initiate an arbitration through New Era ADR at https://app.neweraadr.com. The contact information for Provider shall be as set forth in the Notice Address and for Customer shall be as set forth in the Notice Address. For more information on initiating disputes, please go to New Era ADR’s Virtual Arbitration Help Center. For support when initiating a dispute, please contact support@neweraadr.com.
Severability. If any part of these arbitration terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow class arbitration, class action, or representative action, this entire dispute resolution section will be unenforceable in its entirety.
General Terms
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms and any attempt to do so will be void. We may assign our rights or obligations under these Terms to any affiliate, subsidiary, or successor in interest of any business associated with our Services.

All other changes will be effective as soon as we post them to our website. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using our Services.
Delay in Enforcing These Terms. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. Except as provided in the dispute resolution section above, if any portion of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and it will not affect the enforceability of any other terms.
Trade Controls. You must comply with all applicable trade laws, including sanctions and export control laws. Our Services may not be used in or for the benefit of, or exported or re-exported to (a) any U.S. embargoed country or territory or (b) any individual or entity with whom dealings are prohibited or restricted under applicable trade laws.
