These Terms of Use (“Terms“) constitute a legally binding agreement between Behavox Ltd. (“Behavox“) and the user (the “User“), whether a natural or non-natural person, as well as any employees, agents, subcontractors, or affiliates (“Representatives“) involved in utilizing the Behavox Application Programming Interface (the “API“). All obligations of the User under these Terms shall equally apply to its Representatives, and both the User and the Representative shall be jointly and severally liable. By using the API, the User automatically represents that they have read and agreed to these Terms. If the User does not agree to the Terms, they may not use the Behavox API. Behavox reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to amend or replace these Terms. In such cases, Behavox will provide the User with a 30-day notice to either continue using the API, which shall imply acceptance of the amended terms, or cease using the API.

User and Access

The User is required to furnish accurate and comprehensive information during the account registration process. Under no circumstances shall the User share their access credentials or account with third parties. The User assumes full responsibility for any and all access activities that take place using their provided credentials.

Usage Requirements

(a) API Usage. The User is granted access to the API under a non-exclusive, worldwide, and revocable license, subject to compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. Behavox retains all rights, title, and interest in the API and its underlying code.

(b) Feedback. If the User voluntarily provides feedback or input concerning the API or underlying code, Behavox may use it without any restrictions or compensation to the User.

(c) Limitations. The User must not (i) attempt to reverse engineer or discover the source code or underlying components of the API’s models, algorithms, and systems; (ii) use API outputs to develop models or products similar to the offerings of the API that compete with Behavox; (iii) except as allowed through the API, use any automated or programmatic method to extract data or output from the API, including scraping, web harvesting, or web data extraction; (iv) misrepresent API outputs as human-generated when they are not; (v) buy, sell, or transfer API tokens without Behavox’s prior consent; or (vi) incorporate or repackage the API into a product for selling, promoting a competing product, or any commercial purposes.

(d) Supported Countries. The User may only use the API in geographies currently supported by Behavox.

(e) Third-Party Services. Any third-party software, services, or products the User utilizes in connection with the API are subject to their respective terms, and Behavox assumes no responsibility for third-party products.

Fees and Payments

(a) Payment of Fees. The User is responsible for settling all charges billed to their account (“Fees”) as per the prices and terms specified on the relevant pricing page or as mutually agreed upon by the User and Behavox. Behavox reserves the right to rectify any pricing errors or discrepancies, even if an invoice has been previously issued and/or payment has been made. To ensure seamless payment processing, the User must furnish accurate and complete billing information, along with a valid and authorized payment method. By using the API, the User grants Behavox permission to charge the designated payment method for the incurred Fees. In the event of payment method rejection or any non-internal payment processing issue, Behavox will notify the User and may suspend API access until the outstanding payment is received. All transactions and processing will be conducted in U.S. dollars. Please note that payments made are nonrefundable.

(b) Taxes. Unless explicitly specified otherwise, the Fees mentioned do not encompass federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, or any comparable assessments (“Taxes”). The User is liable for all Taxes related to their purchase, excluding income tax, which includes but is not limited to any applicable sales taxes. For tax purposes, the User’s address provided in their account will be deemed the place of supply.

(c) Price Changes. Behavox reserves the right to modify the API prices by providing notice to the User. Price adjustments will take effect after a 7-day period from the date of posting the notification.

(d)Disputes. For disputes relating to Fees and Taxes, please contact [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the date of the disputed Fee or Tax.

(e) Late Payments. Any undisputed amounts that become past due shall be subject to a monthly interest of 2% on the outstanding balance or the maximum amount permitted by applicable legislation, whichever is lower. In the event of non-payment of Fees, Behavox retains the right to suspend and/or terminate the User’s access to the API.

Content

(a) Content. The User may input data to the API (“Input”) and receive output generated and returned by the API based on the Input (“Output”). The collective term for Input and Output is referred to as “Content.” As per applicable law and between the parties, the User retains ownership of all Input. Subject to the User’s compliance with these Terms, Behavox grants the User a restricted license, assigning certain rights, titles, and interests in the Output (“Restricted License”). The User may use the Output for internal purposes and for compliance with regulatory bodies that have jurisdiction and oversight authority over the User. However, the User is prohibited from using Content for any commercial purposes, including but not limited to sale or publication. Behavox may utilize Content to provide, maintain, develop, and train the underlying models or API, comply with applicable law, and enforce policies. The User bears responsibility for the Content, ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms.

(b) Utilization of Content for Service Enhancement. Behavox has the right to employ the Content provided by the User to or received from our API in the development or improvement of the underlying models of our API. Should the User wish to prevent the use of their Content for enhancing the API’s underlying models, they may opt out by sending an email to [email protected] with “OptOutAPI” in the subject line. It is important to acknowledge that opting out may, in certain instances, limit the API’s ability to cater more effectively to the User’s specific use case.

(c) Accuracy. As a result of employing machine learning and probabilistic models, our API may misinterpret Input, leading to Output that does not accurately represent true intentions, facts, or behavior (referred to as “False Positive”). The User is advised to assess the accuracy of any Output based on their specific use case, which may involve conducting a human review of the Output to identify and disregard False Positives. Behavox assumes no liability for any actions or inactions taken by the User in response to an Output.

Confidentiality

(a) Confidentiality

Definition of Confidential Information: “Confidential Information” refers to any information:

  • Disclosed by Behavox to the User and marked as confidential,
  • Disclosed to the User through the API, and
  • Information and documentation that should reasonably be understood as confidential based on the circumstances of disclosure or the nature of the information shared.
  • (b) Permissible Use: The User may utilize the Confidential Information solely for the purposes detailed in the Behavox offering documentation. No other use of the Confidential Information is permitted without Behavox’s express, prior written consent. The User shall use the Confidential Information only as expressly allowed in these Terms or as authorized in writing by Behavox.

    (c) Disclosure and Protection: The User may disclose the Confidential Information only to its Representatives. It is the User’s responsibility to safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure, employing measures equal to or greater than a reasonable degree of care used to protect its own information and data of similar significance. In case of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information, the User shall immediately inform Behavox and offer reasonable assistance in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure.

    (d) Exclusions from Confidential Information: Confidential Information does not include any information that:

  • Was in the public domain at the time of communication from Behavox.
  • Entered the public domain after communication from Behavox, without any fault of the User.
  • The User possessed, free of any obligation of confidence, before the communication from Behavox.
  • Was rightfully communicated to the User by a third party, free of any obligation of confidence, subsequent to the communication from Behavox.
  • The User independently developed without reference to any information communicated by Behavox. The User bears the burden of proving that any claimed exclusion falls within one of the above exceptions.
  • (e) Injunctive Relief. Without limiting the available remedies for Behavox, the User acknowledges that breaching any of the covenants contained in the confidentiality provisions of these Terms could result in significant irreparable harm to Behavox for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. The damages for such injuries may be difficult to measure precisely. In the event of a breach or threat of a breach, Behavox shall be entitled to obtain an injunction restraining the User from engaging in activities prohibited by the confidentiality provisions of these Terms, or any other relief required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in the confidentiality provisions of these Terms.

    (f) Processing of Personal Data. The API does not process “personal data or PII” as defined in the GDPR.
