This SAAS END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT (“EULA”) is, in cases where you purchase services direct from Foundry, incorporated into the agreement between The Foundry Visionmongers Ltd a company registered in England and Wales with company number 4642027 and whose registered office is at Squire Patton Boggs Secretarial Services Limited, Rutland House, 148 Edmund Street, Birmingham, United Kingdom, B3 2JR and whose address for correspondence is at 5 Golden Square, London W1F 9HT, (“Foundry”), and you, as either an individual or a single company or other legal entity (“Licensee”) on the terms on which you will purchase the services of Foundry (the “Agreement”).  In cases where you purchase the services from one of our resellers, the use of the term “Agreement” in this EULA refers to the arrangements between Foundry and Licensee on which Licensee is permitted to use Foundry’s services, including this EULA.  

Foundry reserves the right to refuse to grant a Licence (as defined in clause 1.1) to any Licensee who has failed to pay any sum due either to Foundry or to a reseller of Foundry, in connection with the Agreement, in connection with any other services or software licence, in connection with any other agreed terms between Foundry and Licensee, to receive or use any services or software product(s) of Foundry.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE

1.1. Subject to terms and the scope of the applicable licence model as set out in clause 2, the limitations of clause 3 and all the other terms of the Agreement, Foundry grants to Licensee a limited, non-transferable and non-exclusive licence, without the right to grant sublicences, to permit the Authorised Users (defined in clause 3.1) to access and use the subscription services provided by Foundry to Licensee under the Agreement via www.foundry.com, www.griptape.ai, www.griptapenodes.com  or any other website notified to Licensee by Foundry from time to time (“Services”) (subject to clause 4) together with, and in accordance with, any accompanying user guide and other documentation (the “Documentation”), and where Licensee is a business, solely for Licensee’s own internal purposes or, where Licensee is a consumer, solely for domestic, private and non-commercial purposes (the “Licence”); provided, however, that Licensee’s right to access and use the Services and the Documentation is limited to those rights expressly set out in this EULA.  The rights provided under this clause 1.1 are granted to Licensee only, and shall not be considered granted to any subsidiary or holding company of Licensee.

1.2. Some types of licence models set out in clause 2.1 limit the access and use of the Services (including the online software applications provided as part of the Services (“Software”)) to the country in which Licensee is based at the date of purchase (the “Home Country”), unless otherwise agreed by Foundry in writing.  For the avoidance of doubt, ‘use’ in a Home Country requires the server, network and user to be based in the Home Country. Notwithstanding such limits, Licensee may still access and use the Services outside the Home Country if travelling or working outside the Home Country on a temporary basis provided that such use does not exceed 70 days in aggregate in any rolling twelve month period or, in the case of any licence which lasts for less than twelve months, does not exceed the number of days representing 20% of the term of the licence.  Notwithstanding any other terms, the Services may not be accessed or used in countries which are subject to import/export controls or sanctions, as further detailed in clause 21.

2. LICENCE MODELS

2.1. The Services will be provided to Licensee on a subscription basis in accordance with one or more of the licence models set out in this clause 2.1, as specified in Foundry’s invoice or order confirmation (as applicable), and subject to the other terms and conditions of this EULA.  Please note that some licensing models set out below do not apply to certain Services provided by Foundry, and certain Services may be sold on an Enterprise Licence basis (as set out in the definitions below).  In addition to the terms expressly stated in this EULA, by using any tool, plug-in, SDK or other functionality in conjunction with the Services which is owned or licensed by any third party (each, a “Third Party Licensor”), Licensee agrees to review, comply with, and be legally bound by the licence terms and conditions of that Third Party Licensor.

(a) “Enterprise Licence” means a Licence that is available for certain Services only, relating to large-scale commercial deployments to enable a specific number of Authorised Users to access and use the Services within an enterprise environment, with specific additional terms and support arrangements, as may be agreed separately in an enterprise licence agreement in writing between Foundry and Licensee (the “Enterprise Licence Agreement”).  Access and use of the Services shall be limited to any site in the Home Country, unless agreed otherwise in the Enterprise Licence Agreement.

(b) “Individual Login Licence” means if Licensee purchases an Individual Login Licence, Licensee warrants and represents that Licensee is a natural person and that only Licensee shall access and use the Services.  Licensee will be issued with log in details and may access and use the Services on any number of computers (but not simultaneously).  Access and use of the Services shall be limited to any site in the Home Country.

(c) “Subscription Licence” means a Licence that has been purchased on a subscription basis, as set out below.

If Licensee has purchased the Services on a subscription basis then: (a) the Licence shall be limited to the Subscription Period (as defined in clause 8.1) after which it shall automatically expire and; (b) the provisions of clause 8, including but not limited to auto-renewal, shall apply.

3. USER SUBSCRIPTIONS

3.1. In relation to those employees, agents and independent contractors of Licensee who are authorised by       Licensee to use the Services and the Documentation, in the case of business users, or, in relation to Licensee itself, where Licensee is a consumer (“Authorised Users”), Licensee undertakes that:

(a) the maximum number of Authorised Users that it authorises to access and use the Services and the Documentation shall not exceed the number of user subscriptions it has purchased from time to time (“User Subscriptions”) (other than in relation to Enterprise Licences, in which case the total number of users shall be in accordance with the terms of the specific Enterprise Licence Agreement for that Licensee);

(b) it will not allow or suffer any User Subscription to be used by more than one individual Authorised User unless it has been reassigned in its entirety to another individual Authorised User, in which case the prior Authorised User shall no longer have any right to access or use the Services and/or Documentation;

(c) each Authorised User shall keep a secure password for their use of the Services and Documentation, that such password shall be changed no less frequently than every three (3) months and that each Authorised User shall keep their password confidential; and

(d) it shall maintain a written, up to date list of current Authorised Users and provide such list to Foundry within seven (7) days of Foundry’s written request at any time or times.

3.2. Licensee may, from time to time during any Subscription Period (as defined in clause 8.1), purchase additional User Subscriptions.  If Licensee wishes to purchase additional User Subscriptions, Licensee shall notify Foundry in writing.  Foundry shall evaluate such request for additional User Subscriptions and respond to Licensee with approval or rejection of the request.  Where the Supplier approves the request, the Supplier shall activate the additional User Subscriptions.  If Foundry approves Licensee’s request to purchase additional User Subscriptions, Licensee will be charged and agrees to pay to Foundry or Foundry’s authorised reseller (as applicable) the Licence Fee (as defined in clause 7.1) as notified by Foundry (or its reseller) at the time of the purchase of the additional User Subscriptions.  If such additional User Subscriptions are purchased by Licensee part way through the Initial Subscription Period or any Auto-renewal Periods (as defined in clauses 8.2 and 8.3), such fees shall be pro-rated from the date of activation by Foundry for the remainder of the Initial Subscription Period or then current Auto-renewal Period (as applicable).

4. RESTRICTIONS ON USE

4.1. Licensee shall not except as may be allowed by any applicable law which is incapable of exclusion by agreement between the parties and except to the extent expressly permitted under the Agreement:

(a) attempt to copy, modify, adapt, duplicate, translate, create derivative works from, frame, mirror, republish, download, display, transmit, or distribute all or any portion of the Services, the Software (including any tool, plug-in, SDK or other functionality) or Documentation (as applicable) in any form or media or by any means;

(b) attempt to de-compile, reverse compile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise reduce to human-readable form all or any part of the Services or the Software (including any tool, plug-in, SDK or other functionality);

(h) introduce, or permit the introduction of, any: (i) thing or device (including any software, code, file or programme) which may: prevent, impair or otherwise adversely affect the operation of any computer software, hardware or network, any telecommunications service, equipment or network or any other service or device; prevent, impair or otherwise adversely affect access to or the operation of any programme or data, including the reliability of any programme or data (whether by re-arranging, altering or erasing the programme or data in whole or part or otherwise); or adversely affect the user experience, including worms, trojan horses, computer or software exploits, and other similar things or devices (together, “Virus”); or (ii) weakness in the computational logic (for example, code) found in software and hardware components that when exploited, results in a negative impact to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the Services (“Vulnerability”), in each case, into the Services or Foundry’s network and information systems;

(i) take any action, or fail to take action, that could adversely affect the trade marks, service marks, patents, trade secrets, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Foundry or any Third Party Licensor; or

(j) use the Services, or permit any third party to use the Services, for any illegal purpose.

4.2. Notwithstanding clause 4.1, where the reduction of the Software to human readable form is necessary for the purposes of integrating the operation of the Software with the operation of other software or systems used by Licensee in accordance with section 50B of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 (or any analogous legislation in other jurisdictions), prior to reducing the Software to human readable form (whether by reverse engineering, decompilation or disassembly), Licensee shall notify Foundry in advance and allow Foundry a reasonable period to either carry out such action as is required to fulfil the integration or provide the information necessary to achieve such integration to Licensee, and in either case Licensee shall meet Foundry’s reasonable costs in doing so.

4.3. Licensee shall not access, store, distribute or transmit any Viruses, or any material during the course of its use of the Services that:

(a) is unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, infringing, harassing or racially or ethnically offensive;

(b) facilitates illegal activity;

(c) depicts sexually explicit images;

(d) promotes unlawful violence;

(e) is discriminatory based on race, gender, colour, religious belief, sexual orientation, disability; or

and Foundry reserves the right, without liability or prejudice to its other rights to Licensee, to disable Licensee’s access to any material that breaches the provisions of this clause 4.3.

4.4. Licensee shall maintain appropriate internal security, safeguards and controls which shall be at least as great as the measures Licensee uses to keep Licensee’s own information secure (but in any case, using no less than a reasonable degree of care) to ensure that the Services are not used in any way which is in breach of this clause 4 or of the Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee remains fully liable for any unauthorised use of the Services by the Authorised Users.

4.5. The Services, the Software and/or any components thereof are not intended to be used for and Licensee shall not use the Services or the Software for (or modify the Software such that it is suitable for): (a) any prohibited practices pursuant to applicable law, including pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the “EU AI Act”) or similar legislation; (b) any use or other application that would result in the Services or the Software being considered or otherwise classified as a high-risk AI system or that otherwise qualifies as “high-risk” under the EU AI Act or a similar concept in other applicable regulations; (c) life-critical systems, medical devices, or safety-critical infrastructure; (d) autonomous weapons systems or mass surveillance applications; (e) any illegal, immoral or improper use (including inputting illegal, immoral, or inappropriate content or prompts into any AI models in connection with the Services or the Software); or (f) any use that would subject Foundry to additional regulatory obligations.  Licensee shall indemnify and keep Foundry indemnified against all costs and liabilities arising from such prohibited and high-risk uses.  Licensee may not remove, alter or obscure any metadata fields which are automatically applied to content generated by the Services or the Software which indicate that such content has been artificially generated or manipulated.  

4.6. Licensee shall indemnify and keep Foundry indemnified against claims, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, regulatory fines, costs or expenses arising out of or in connection with Licensee’s non-compliant use of the Services, the Software and/or the Documentation.

5. OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE

5.1. To the extent that the Services or the Software links to or itself incorporates any open source software or software libraries (“OSS Components”) that are provided to Licensee with or as part of the Services or the Software, then where such OSS Components are licensed on the terms of an open source software licence that requires Foundry to make the OSS Components available to Licensee on specific terms (the “OSS Licence Terms”), those OSS Components are licensed to Licensee on, and subject to, the terms of the relevant OSS Licence Terms.

5.2. Where Foundry is required by any OSS Licence Terms to make the source code of the relevant OSS Component available to Licensee, Foundry will at any time during the three (3) year period starting on the date of the Agreement, at the request of Licensee and subject to Licensee paying to Foundry a charge that does not exceed Foundry’s costs of doing so, provide Licensee with the source code of the relevant OSS Component (the “OSS Source Code”) in order that Licensee may modify the OSS Component in accordance with the relevant OSS Licence Terms, together (where appropriate) with certain object code of the Software necessary to enable Licensee to re-link any modified OSS Components to the Software (the “Object”).

5.3. Notwithstanding any other term of the Agreement, Foundry gives no express or implied warranty, undertaking or indemnity whatsoever in respect of the OSS Components, the OSS Source Code or the Object, all of which are licensed on an “as is” basis, or in respect of any modification of the OSS Components or the OSS Source Code made by Licensee (“Modification”).  Licensee may not use the Object for any purpose other than in respect of the Modification.

5.4. Notwithstanding any other term of the Agreement, Foundry shall have no obligation to provide support, maintenance, upgrades or updates of or in respect of any of the OSS Components, the OSS Source Code, the Object or any Modification.  Licensee shall indemnify and keep indemnified Foundry against all liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) incurred by Foundry in relation to any claim asserting that any Modification infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party.

6. OWNERSHIP AND UNDERTAKING

6.1. Licensee acknowledges that the Services, the Software and the Documentation and all related intellectual property rights and other proprietary rights are and shall remain the sole property of Foundry and/or the Third Party Licensors (as applicable).

6.2. Nothing in the Agreement shall be deemed to give Licensee any rights in the trade marks, service marks, patents, trade secrets, confidential information, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Foundry or any Third Party Licensor, and Licensee shall be strictly prohibited from using the name, trade marks or service marks of Foundry or any Third Party Licensor in Licensee’s promotion or publicity without Foundry’s express prior written approval.

6.3. Foundry undertakes (the “Undertaking”) to defend Licensee or at Foundry’s option settle any claim brought against Licensee alleging that Licensee’s use of the Services or Documentation in accordance with the Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party in the same country as Licensee (“Claim”) and shall reimburse all reasonable losses, damages, costs (including reasonable legal fees) and expenses incurred by or awarded against Licensee in connection with any such Claim, provided that the Undertaking shall not apply where the Claim in question is attributable to: (a) use of the Services or Documentation other than in accordance with the Agreement or the instructions given by Foundry to Licensee; (b) in combination with any software or service not supplied or specified by Foundry; (c) modification of the Services or Documentation by anyone other than Foundry; or (d) Licensee’s use of the Services or Documentation after notice of the alleged or actual infringement from Foundry or any appropriate authority.

6.4. The Undertaking is conditional on Licensee: (a) giving prompt written notice of the Claim to Foundry; (b) giving Foundry sole authority to defend or settle the Claim; (c) cooperating in the defence or settlement of the Claim; and (d) not making any admission of liability or taking any step prejudicial to the defence of the Claim.

6.5. If any Claim is made, or in Foundry’s reasonable opinion is likely to be made, against Licensee, Foundry may at its sole option and expense: (a) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Services; (b) modify the Services so that they cease to be infringing; (c) replace the Services with non-infringing services; or (d) terminate the Agreement immediately by notice in writing to Licensee and refund the Licence Fee (less a reasonable sum in respect of Licensee’s use of the Services to the date of termination).  The Undertaking and the foregoing constitutes Licensee’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies, and Foundry’s only liability, for infringement or alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of any third party.

6.6. Where the Services integrate with third-party AI models, tools, libraries, or services provided by Third Party Licensor(s), Foundry has not reviewed, approved, confirmed, pre-vetted any such third-party components (including their fitness for a particular purpose), nor does Foundry host, control, or endorse such third-party components.  Licensee acknowledges and agrees that use of such components is at Licensee’s own risk and is subject to the Third Party Licensor’s terms and conditions, as applicable.

6.7. Where the Services enable generation of AI-powered content or workflows (“AI Outputs”), ownership of such AI Outputs vests in Licensee (in so far as applicable law allows), subject to any third party rights (including any rights of any Third Party Licensors) in the underlying AI models, training data, or other components.  Licensee is solely responsible for ensuring that all inputs are legally compliant and appropriate, and for reviewing, validating, and ensuring the accuracy, quality, legality, and appropriateness of all AI Outputs before use or distribution, and Foundry disclaims all warranties and liabilities in relation to AI Outputs (as further set out in clause 12).  Licensee shall not input illegal, immoral or inappropriate content or use the Services to generate AI Outputs that infringe third party rights or violate applicable laws.

7. LICENCE FEE

7.1 Licensee acknowledges that the rights granted to Licensee under this EULA are conditional on Licensee’s timely payment of the licence fee payable to Foundry in connection with the Agreement or, as the case may be, payable to Foundry’s reseller (the “Licence Fee”).  Except where the applicable invoice expressly sets out payment in instalments, the Licence Fee shall be payable in full as one single payment.

8.6. Increases to the Licence Fee for Subscription Licences.  Foundry reserves the right to increase the Licence Fee for Subscription Licences from time to time provided that it shall provide Licensee with not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice of any increase prior to the relevant Subscription Renewal Date.

Foundry does not warrant that: (a) the Services or the Documentation will meet Licensee’s requirements; (b) Licensee’s use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error free; or (c) the Software or the Services will be free from Vulnerabilities or Viruses.  Where the Software or the Services include AI-enabled features, Foundry makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, quality, originality, merchantability, non-infringement or fitness for purpose of any AI Outputs, and Licensee uses such AI Outputs entirely at its own risk.

12.4.

13.2. Licensee agrees to indemnify, keep indemnified, hold harmless and defend Foundry, the Third Party Licensors and Foundry’s and each Third Party Licensor’s respective affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, authorised resellers, agents and other representatives from all claims, defence costs (including, but not limited to, legal fees), judgments, settlements and other expenses arising from or connected with any claim that any use of the Services or the Documentation, by Licensee, any person connected with Licensee or any person provided with the Services by Licensee, causes any of them or any third party (including but not limited to those viewing a product of the Services) to suffer harm or loss of any kind.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

14.1. To Business Users (this clause applies where Licensee is a business user (and for these purposes any Licensee that is not a consumer shall be treated as a business user)):

(a) Licensee acknowledges that the Services have not been developed to meet Licensee’s individual requirements, and that it is therefore Licensee’s responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the Services as described in the Documentation meet such Licensee requirements.  The Services and Documentation are supplied only for Licensee’s internal use for its business, and not for any re-sale purposes or for the provision of the Services (whether directly or indirectly) to third parties.

(b) Subject to clause 14.1(e), Foundry shall not under any circumstances whatever be liable to Licensee, its affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents or other representatives, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising under or in connection with the Agreement for any: (i) loss of profits (whether direct or indirect); (ii) loss of sales, business, or revenue (whether direct or indirect); (iii) business interruption (whether direct or indirect); (iv) loss of anticipated savings (whether direct or indirect); (v) loss or corruption of data or information (whether direct or indirect); (vi) loss of business opportunity (whether direct or indirect); (vii) loss of goodwill or reputation (whether direct or indirect); or (viii) indirect or consequential loss or damage.

(c) In respect of any other losses, subject to clause 14.1(d), Foundry’s maximum aggregate liability under or in connection with the Agreement whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall in all circumstances be limited to the greater of: (i) five thousand pounds Sterling (£5,000); and (ii) a sum equal to the latest annual Licence Fee.

(e) This EULA sets out the full extent of Foundry’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the supply of the Services and the Documentation.  Except as expressly stated in writing in this EULA, the Services and the Documentation are provided to Licensee on an “as is” basis there are no conditions, warranties, representations or other terms, express or implied, that are binding on Foundry.  Any condition, warranty, representation or other term concerning the supply of the Services and Documentation which might otherwise be implied into, or incorporated in, the Agreement, whether by statute, common law or otherwise, is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14.2. To Consumers (this clause applies where Licensee is a consumer):

(b) if Licensee commences negotiations with all or any class of its creditors with a view to rescheduling any of its debts, or makes a proposal for or enters into any compromise or arrangement with its creditors other than for the sole purpose of a scheme for a solvent amalgamation of Licensee with one or more other companies or the solvent reconstruction of Licensee;

16.2. Licensee shall not at any time disclose Confidential Information or otherwise make any Confidential Information available to any other of Licensee’s employees or to any third parties without the express prior written consent of Foundry.  This clause 16.2 shall not apply to any information that is in or comes into the public domain (other than as a result of Licensee’s breach of its obligations under the Agreement), or was in Licensee’s lawful possession before receipt or which Licensee develops independently and without breach of this clause.  Licensee acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorised disclosure of Confidential Information, and that Foundry shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or other equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction.

16.3. Licensee agrees to segregate, to the extent it can be reasonably done, the Confidential Information from the confidential information and materials of others in order to prevent commingling.  Licensee shall take reasonable security measures, which measures shall be at least as great as the measures Licensee uses to keep Licensee’s own confidential information secure (but in any case using no less than a reasonable degree of care), to hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and safe custody.  Foundry may request, in which case Licensee agrees to comply with, certain reasonable security measures as part of the use of the Services and Documentation.

(c) subject to the remainder of this clause 18.9(c) and taking into account the nature of the processing, at Business Licensee’s sole cost and expense (which, for the avoidance of doubt will be in addition to the Licence Fee), provide Business Licensee with such assistance as Business Licensee may reasonably request, in so far as this is possible, in order for Business Licensee to respond to any lawful requests from or on behalf of any Data Subjects to exercise their rights under the Data Protection Laws in respect of the Personal Data.  Foundry shall not be required to provide such assistance to the extent that: (i) Business Licensee is reasonably able to respond to any such request without Foundry’s assistance; and/or (ii) the relevant request is not made in accordance with the Data Protection Laws; and

(d) subject to the remainder of this clause 18.9(d) and taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Foundry, at Business Licensee’s sole cost and expense (which, for the avoidance of doubt will be in addition to the Licence Fee) provide Business Licensee with such assistance as Business Licensee reasonably requests to enable Business Licensee to comply with its obligations under the Data Protection Laws regarding the security of the Personal Data, conducting any required data protection impact assessments and any related consultations with supervisory authorities (including pursuant to Articles 32, 35 and 36 of the GDPR).  Foundry shall not be required to provide such assistance, in each case to the extent Business Licensee is reasonably able to comply with such obligations without Foundry’s assistance.

(b) all audits shall be carried out during Foundry’s business hours and upon reasonable written notice which shall not be less than 30 days;

25. GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION

25.1 The Agreement and any dispute or claim (including, unless Licensee is a consumer, non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

25.2 Save in respect of injunctive relief and as otherwise provided in Clause 26, the courts of England and Wales shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with the Agreement or its subject matter or formation, subject to any right that Licensee as a consumer may have to bring proceedings or to have proceedings brought against them in a different jurisdiction.  

26. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR UNITED STATES CONSUMER LICENSEES

This Clause 26 applies to Licensees that are natural persons who download or use the Software for personal, domestic or private purposes (not for commercial, business or professional purposes) and that are located in, or that download or use the Software in, the United States (US Consumer Licensees). In the event of any conflict between this Clause 26 and any other provision of this EULA (including Clause 25), this Clause 26 shall govern with respect to US Consumer Licensees.

26.1  Binding Arbitration

Any Dispute (as defined below) between Foundry and a US Consumer Licensee shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules ("Consumer Rules") in effect at the time the Dispute is submitted, except as modified herein. Dispute means any claim, controversy or dispute between Foundry and Licensee arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Software, or the relationship between the parties, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, tort (including negligence), fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory. Foundry and Licensee each agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs this Clause 26.1.

(a)  Process.  Either party may initiate arbitration by providing written notice of the Dispute to the other party and submitting a demand to the AAA in accordance with the Consumer Rules. Before initiating arbitration, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice.

(b)  Arbitrator and venue.  Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Consumer Rules. Unless you and Foundry agree otherwise, any in-person hearing shall be held in the US county in which you reside or, if you do not reside in the United States, in New York County, New York. For claims that do not require a hearing, the arbitration may be conducted by telephone, videoconference, or written submissions.

(c)  Fees.  The allocation of arbitration fees and costs shall be governed by the Consumer Rules. Foundry will pay all AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees for any Dispute where the amount claimed does not exceed US$10,000, unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous.

(d)  Remedies.  The arbitrator may award any individual remedy available under applicable law, including monetary damages, injunctive relief and statutory damages. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award relief beyond what is available to an individual claimant under applicable law.

(e)  Small claims.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may elect to bring an individual action in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction for Disputes within the scope of that court's jurisdiction, in lieu of arbitration.

(f)  Public injunctive relief.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause 26, nothing herein shall be construed to waive, limit or restrict any right that a US Consumer Licensee may have to seek public injunctive relief under applicable state consumer protection law (including, without limitation, California's Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law, or False Advertising Law) in a court of competent jurisdiction. Any such claim for public injunctive relief shall be stayed in the court pending resolution of any related individual claims in arbitration.

(g)  Intellectual property.  Either party may bring a claim in a court of competent jurisdiction — without first initiating arbitration — to the extent the claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce intellectual property rights, including claims arising from unauthorized copying, distribution, reverse engineering, or misuse of the Software. The filing of such a claim shall not waive the right to arbitrate any other aspect of the Dispute, and any related damages claims shall remain subject to arbitration under this Clause 26.1.

26.2  Class Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSEE AND FOUNDRY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON OR TO PRESIDE OVER ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

If any portion of this waiver is found unenforceable with respect to a particular claim, that claim shall be severed and may proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with Clause 26.5; all remaining claims shall proceed in individual arbitration. This class action waiver does not apply to any claim for public injunctive relief, which is governed by Clause 26.1(f) above.

26.3  Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class action waiver in this Clause 26 by sending written notice to legal@foundry.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days of the date you first accept this EULA or download the Software. Your notice must include your name, the email address associated with your Foundry account, and a statement that you wish to opt out. If you opt out, all Disputes will be resolved as set out in Clause 26.5 and the class action waiver in Clause 26.2 will not apply to you.

26.4  Severability

If the class action waiver in Clause 26.2 is found wholly unenforceable in connection with any particular Dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate in Clause 26.1 shall not apply to that Dispute and it shall be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with Clause 26.5. If any provision of Clause 26.1 other than the class action waiver is found unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions of Clause 26.1 shall remain in full force and effect.

26.5  Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement and any non-arbitrable Dispute shall be governed by the laws of the state in which you reside, to the extent such laws apply and provide protections that cannot be waived by contract; provided that where no state-specific mandatory law applies, the law of the State of New York shall govern, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Nothing in this Clause 26 limits any rights you may have under the mandatory consumer protection laws of your state of residence that cannot be excluded by contract, including the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, the California Unfair Competition Law, or equivalent statutes in other states. For any non-arbitrable Dispute, Foundry consents to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in the county in which you reside.

26.6  No Waiver of Statutory Consumer Rights

Nothing in this Clause 26, or elsewhere in this EULA, shall limit or exclude any rights you may have under applicable US federal or state consumer protection law that cannot lawfully be waived or modified by contract, including rights relating to automatic renewal disclosures, cancellation, and refunds under applicable state automatic renewal laws.

26.7 Mass Filing and Batch Arbitration Procedures

(a) Application. This Clause 26.7 applies where twenty-five (25) or more demands for arbitration are filed against Foundry raising substantially similar claims, arising from substantially similar facts or circumstances, and represented by the same counsel or coordinated counsel (a "Mass Filing"). Foundry and Licensee agree that a Mass Filing shall be administered in accordance with the procedures set out in this Clause 26.7 in lieu of the standard AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules filing and administration procedures, except as otherwise provided herein.

(b) Notice and Meet and Confer. Counsel filing demands that constitute or are reasonably anticipated to constitute a Mass Filing shall notify Foundry and the AAA in writing at the time of filing. Upon identification of a Mass Filing, the parties and their counsel shall meet and confer within thirty (30) days to attempt to agree on a process for administering the demands efficiently, including any bellwether or representative case selection procedure. Foundry shall not be required to respond to any individual demand within a Mass Filing until the meet-and-confer process has concluded or the thirty (30) day period has expired, whichever is earlier.

(c) Batching Procedure. If the parties do not reach agreement during the meet-and-confer period, the following batching procedure shall apply:

(i) The AAA shall randomly select, and the parties shall arbitrate, an initial batch of no more than twenty-five (25) demands (the "Initial Batch"). Each demand in the Initial Batch shall be assigned to a separate arbitrator and proceed as an individual arbitration under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.

(ii) Upon conclusion of the Initial Batch, the parties shall again meet and confer for a period of thirty (30) days to discuss resolution of the remaining demands in light of the Initial Batch outcomes.

(iii) If the remaining demands are not resolved following the second meet-and-confer period, subsequent batches of no more than fifty (50) demands at a time shall be selected by the AAA and administered sequentially in the same manner as the Initial Batch. No subsequent batch shall commence until the preceding batch has concluded.

(iv) The statute of limitations and any filing deadlines applicable to demands within a Mass Filing shall be tolled from the date the first demand in the Mass Filing is filed until the date the relevant demand is selected for a batch and an arbitrator is appointed.

(d) Bellwether Effect. The parties agree that the outcomes of the Initial Batch are intended to inform, but shall not be binding on, the resolution of subsequent batches or any remaining demands. Nothing in this Clause 26.7 shall preclude the parties from agreeing at any stage to a global mediation or other alternative resolution process.

(e) Fees in Mass Filings. Notwithstanding Clause 26.1(c), in the event of a Mass Filing, the allocation of AAA filing fees and administrative costs shall be governed by the AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules in effect at the time of filing, to the extent not inconsistent with this Clause 26.7.

(f) Court Proceedings for Non-Compliant Mass Filings. If the procedures in this Clause 26.7 are held unenforceable with respect to a Mass Filing, or if claimants within a Mass Filing fail to comply with this Clause 26.7, Foundry may seek a court order staying the arbitration proceedings and compelling compliance with these procedures. The parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have authority to enforce this Clause 26.7 and to grant appropriate relief, including consolidation or sequencing of demands, without affecting the enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate in Clause 26.1 or the class action waiver in Clause 26.2.

(g) No Waiver of Class Action Waiver. Nothing in this Clause 26.7 shall be construed as permitting, authorizing or creating a class action, collective action or representative proceeding. Each demand within a Mass Filing remains an individual arbitration. The batching procedure in Clause 26.7(c) is an administrative mechanism only and does not alter the individual nature of each claimant's claim or Foundry's defences thereto.
