Ontro AI LLC Terms of Service

The Terms of Service delineated herein shall regulate your utilization of the Ontro Services, except where such use is governed by a distinct agreement duly executed between you and Ontro AI LLC. 

Ontro, Inc. (“Ontro,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) delivers legal technology services. This document delineates the Terms of Service (“Terms”) that oversee your engagement with Ontro’s services, which include our artificial intelligence technologies (“AI Services”), websites, applications, add-ons, plug-ins, components, functionality, and programs, together with any other services detailed in any mutually executed order form (collectively referred to as the “OntroServices” or “Services”). The “Subscription Agreement” encompasses these Terms, any applicable price schedule, and any order form(s) for the Ontro Services duly executed by both Ontro and you, the user (“you” or “User”). Incorporated into these Terms are the Ontro Privacy Policy and any supplementary documents that explicitly invoke these Terms. By clicking the “I accept” button, demonstrating acceptance through your actions, or by deploying any of the Ontro Services, with or without registration, you consent to be bound by these Terms with Ontro. Should you be consenting to these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you confirm that you possess suitable authority of representation for such entity. If you lack such authority, or if you dissent from these Terms, you are advised not to accept, access, or utilize the Services in any way. 

For users engaging with the Ontro Services during a proof of concept or other product trial phase (“Evaluation”), your use is subject to these Terms throughout the Evaluation period. It is important to note that during the Evaluation period, access to the Services is provided on an “as-is” basis, devoid of any representations, warranties, or conditions of any kind. You should be aware that any data or content you upload to the Services might be irretrievably lost upon the termination of the Evaluation period. Continuing to use the Services post-Evaluation implies your agreement that these Terms shall continue to govern your ongoing usage. 

Access to the Services is forbidden if you are a direct competitor of Ontro, or if your intention is to monitor the functionality, performance, or availability of the Services for any competitive purpose. 

Please review these Terms thoroughly to ensure your full understanding of each provision.

-Provide truthful, accurate, and complete information as requisitioned by the registration form for Ontro Services (termed “Registration Data”);

-Continuously update the Registration Data to ensure it remains truthful, accurate, and complete.

Should you submit any information that is false, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, or if there are reasonable grounds for Ontro to suspect such, Ontro reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and to deny any current or future use of the OntroServices, wholly or in part.

Authorization for account access and use of Ontro Services cannot be granted to third parties. You are mandated to maintain the confidentiality of both your user ID and password and to take full responsibility for all activities conducted under your account. It is imperative that you immediately report any unauthorized access or security breaches related to your account to Ontro. Ontro is absolved of any liability for losses or damages resulting from unauthorized account usage.

By submitting your Registration Data, including your email address and any contact numbers, or by creating an account, you are providing electronic consent to receive promotional messages and communications from Ontro and selected third parties. This may include emails or mobile notifications about service modifications and special offers. Should you decide to opt out of receiving such promotional communications, you can do so by emailing the Ontro Services support team at [email protected], or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in any promotional email. Opting out of marketing communications will not affect your receipt of important service-related notices.

3. Duration and Cessation of Terms:

These Terms shall take effect at the moment you start using our Services and shall remain in force until terminated by either party pursuant to the conditions outlined herein.

Ontro may send termination notifications to the User via email to the contact information provided in your Registration Data. The User may initiate termination by contacting the Ontro Services support team at [email protected].

Should Ontro determine, at its sole discretion, that you have breached, or Ontro suspects that you have breached any condition of these Terms, Ontro may terminate these Terms immediately without prior notice. For clarity, any such termination will consequently annul any ongoing Subscription Agreements you have.

Ontro AI LLC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, add, or eliminate any aspects of the Subscription or the Services offered without prior notice. Any changes to the Subscription Fees will be reflected in the updated online Subscription Terms.

Should specific Subscription Fees and duration have been confirmed for your use of the Services, these will remain valid for the agreed-upon term.

By subscribing to the Services, you agree and acknowledge that Ontro AI LLC or its designated third-party payment processors are authorized to charge you:

-Subscription Fees as described in the Subscription Agreement;

-Applicable taxes including sales, use, value-added, withholding, or similar levies, excluding taxes based on Ontro AI LLC’s income;

Late payments incur a monthly service charge of 1.5% of the unpaid amount or the highest permissible rate covered by law, whichever is lower, including collection costs.

7. Cancellation Procedure

Subscriptions may be canceled at any point; however, you are responsible for all Subscription Fees until the end of the current Subscription Term. To cancel, notification must be provided at least three (3) days prior to the next Subscription Term, either through the specified functionalities of the Services or directly to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
