Licenses.
4.1 License from Andeavour to you. Subject to the Terms, Andeavour grants to you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, terminable license to use the Service.
4.2 Trial License from Andeavour to you. Andeavour may, at its discretion, make available trial licenses that do not require the payment of applicable Fees for a period of time or subject to other limitations (each a “Trial License”). Please note that any Customer Data or Customer Applications imported to, stored on, or made available on the Service during a Trial License may be permanently lost or deleted at the end of such trial license unless Customer pays the applicable fee.
4.3 Customer Data Protection and License Agreement with Andeavour. This Service enables Customers to import, store, and process data, content, and other types of works, hereby collectively referred to as “Customer Data.” For clarity, Customer Data does not encompass metadata generated through the use of the Service. By engaging with the Service for importing, storing, or processing Customer Data, you provide Andeavour a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to utilize, secure, and manage your Customer Data exclusively for the purpose of offering the Service. This includes permission for Andeavour to reproduce, modify, and adapt your Customer Data, yet expressly restricts Andeavour’s ability to distribute, publicly display, or perform such data, thereby placing a stronger emphasis on privacy and security.
Andeavour commits to employing stringent security measures to safeguard Customer Data against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. Andeavour will not use, display, disclose, or transfer Customer Data in a manner that personally identifies you without your explicit consent, except as necessary to provide the Service or as required by law, legal processes, or to protect Andeavour’s rights or assets. This protection extends to the enforcement of Andeavour’s agreements and the security of individuals or entities.
Moreover, Andeavour will share Customer Data with third-party vendors, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), only when these vendors are essential to the provision of the Service and have committed to similar data protection standards. In scenarios involving a merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, or similar transactions, as well as in insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership cases, Andeavour may transfer Customer Data to third parties as part of its business assets, ensuring that these entities are bound by equivalent obligations to protect and secure Customer Data.
This provision underlines Andeavour’s duty to protect and maintain the confidentiality of Customer Data, guaranteeing its use strictly for the aim of delivering and enhancing the Service. It also delineates the circumstances under which Customer Data may be shared or transferred, with a priority on data security and the privacy of the customer.
4.4 Customer Application License from you to Andeavour. Additionally, if the Service permits Customers to host software applications and code (“Customer Applications”), by hosting your Customer Applications on the Service, you grant to Andeavour a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, modify, and adapt your Customer Data for the purpose of providing the Service to you, including the right to sublicense your Customer Applications as necessary to provide the Service to you including to our third-party service providers.

10.2 Additional Terms. Your use of the Service is subject to any additional terms, rules, or guidelines applicable to the Service or certain features of the Service that we may post and you may accept (the “Additional Terms”), such as end user license agreements for our downloadable applications, subject to Section 11. All such Additional Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, the Terms.
Modification of the Terms. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change the Terms on a going forward basis at any time. Please check the Terms periodically for changes.

Material modifications are effective upon your acceptance of the modified terms. Immaterial modifications are effective upon publication. For the avoidance of doubt, disputes arising hereunder will be resolved in accordance with the Terms in effect at the time the dispute arose.
Ownership; Proprietary Rights. The Service is owned and operated by Andeavour. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, computer code (including source code or object code), products, software, services, and all other elements of the Service provided by Andeavour (the “Materials”) are protected by all relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights and applicable laws. Except for any Customer Data or Customer Applications, all Materials contained in the Service are the property of Andeavour or our third-party licensors. Except as expressly authorized by Andeavour you may not make use of the Materials. Andeavour reserves all rights to the Materials not expressly granted in these Terms.
Disclaimers; No Warranties. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THE Andeavour ENTITIES SPECIFICALLY (BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION) DISCLAIM (i) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (ii) ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE-OF-DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE.

Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Andeavour agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within the San Francisco County, California for the purpose of litigating all such disputes. We operate the Service from our offices in California, and we make no representations that information and materials included in the Service are appropriate or available for use in other locations.
General. The Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Additional Terms, and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Andeavour regarding your use of and access to the Service, and except as expressly permitted above may only be amended by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the parties. You may not assign or transfer the Terms or your rights hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign the Terms at any time without notice. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of the Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of paragraph headers in the Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. In the event that any part of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of the Terms, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration, including, but not limited to Sections 1, 3, and 5 through 18.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.
18.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Andeavour in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Andeavour agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Andeavour are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
18.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection 18.1, we both agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
18.3 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Andeavour will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Andeavour.
18.4 Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Andeavour’s address for Notice is:
disclose@andeavour.io
The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Andeavour may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Andeavour shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any; provided that if our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Andeavour shall pay you the greater of (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, and (ii) the greatest amount offered by Andeavour in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award.
18.5 Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Andeavour will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco County, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Andeavour for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
18.6 No Class Actions. YOU AND Andeavour AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Andeavour agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
18.7 Modifications. In the event that Andeavour makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Andeavour’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Andeavour’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Andeavour shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.
18.8 Enforceability. If Subsection 18.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 18 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 18 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 16 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
