4. ACCESS, RIGHTS, AND SERVICE LIMITATIONS
4.1 Access Rights. Subject to Customer's timely payment of all applicable Fees and ongoing compliance with these Terms and the applicable Order Form, Vissibl grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as expressly permitted in these Terms), non-sublicensable, and revocable right during the Subscription Term specified in the Order Form to access and use the Services, and permit Authorised Users to access and use the Services, solely for Customer's internal business operations in accordance with any usage limits or service tiers specified in the Order Form and any applicable documentation.
4.2 Trial Access. If Vissibl provides Customer with access to the Services or any part thereof on a trial or evaluation basis ("Trial Period"), such access is provided "AS-IS" and "AS-AVAILABLE" without any warranty, indemnity, service level commitment, or support obligations whatsoever, express or implied, by Vissibl. Customer Data entered during a Trial Period will be permanently deleted within thirty (30) days following the end of the Trial Period unless the Customer converts to a paid subscription for the same Services before the Trial Period expires. Vissibl reserves the right to modify or terminate any Trial Period or trial access at any time, for any reason or no reason, without liability to the Customer.
4.3 Authorised Users. Customer is responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of its Authorised Users and any other person who accesses and uses the Services using Customer's or its Authorised Users' credentials, as if such acts or omissions were by Customer itself. Customer shall ensure that all Authorised Users comply with these Terms. Customer must ensure that credentials for Authorised Users are kept confidential, are unique to each Authorised User, and are not shared among users or with any third party. Customer shall not permit access to the Services by more than the number of Authorised Users specified in the applicable Order Form. Customer must promptly notify Vissibl in writing of any suspected or actual unauthorised access to or use of the Services or any breach of security.
4.4 Restrictions. Customer shall not, and shall not permit its Authorised Users or any third party to:
(a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code, or underlying structure, ideas, know-how, or algorithms relevant to the Services or any software, documentation, or data related to the Services (except to the extent such restrictions are contrary to Applicable Law and then only upon advance written notice to Vissibl);
(b) use the Services or any Vissibl Confidential Information to develop a directly or indirectly competitive product or service, or for any other purpose not expressly permitted herein;
(c) introduce, upload, or transmit any virus, Trojan horse, worm, malware, spyware, or other harmful or malicious code into the Services;

(k) conduct any load testing, security probing, or penetration testing on the Services without Vissibl's prior written consent.
5. FEES, BILLING, AND PAYMENT TERMS
5.1 Fees and Billing. Customer shall pay all fees specified in the applicable Order Form(s) ("Fees"). Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, Fees are based on Services purchased and not actual usage. All payment obligations are non-cancelable, and all Fees paid are non-refundable, except as expressly stated otherwise in these Terms or an Order Form. Subscription fees will be billed in advance, either annually or in accordance with the billing frequency stated in the Order Form. All Fees are quoted and payable in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified in the Order Form.
5.2 Taxes. All Fees are exclusive of any applicable taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added tax (VAT), sales, use, or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If Vissibl has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, Vissibl will invoice Customer for such Taxes, and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Vissibl with a valid tax exemption certificate authorised by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Vissibl is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its own net income, property, and employees.
5.3 Late Payment. If any invoiced amount is not received by Vissibl by its due date, then without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Vissibl: (a) Vissibl may charge late interest on the overdue amount at the rate of the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, calculated daily from the due date until the date of actual payment; and/or (b) Vissibl may suspend Customer’s and its Authorised Users’ access to the Services and provision of any support until full payment of all outstanding undisputed amounts, including accrued interest, is made. Vissibl will provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice that Customer's account is overdue before suspending Services for non-payment. Customer shall reimburse Vissibl for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Vissibl in collecting any late payments or interest, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
5.4 Fee Disputes. Customer must notify Vissibl in writing of any good faith dispute with respect to any Fees or invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. The written notice must contain reasonable detail specifying the nature of the dispute. If Customer fails to dispute an invoice (or any portion thereof) within this period, the invoice will be deemed accepted and payable in full. Customer agrees to pay all undisputed portions of any invoiced amounts when due. The parties agree to cooperate in good faith to investigate and resolve any disputed amounts promptly.
5.5 No Set-Off. Customer may not withhold, deduct, or offset any amounts due to Vissibl under these Terms against any claim, dispute, or amount owed or alleged to be owed by Vissibl to Customer under these Terms or any other agreement, unless such set-off right is expressly agreed to in writing by Vissibl or mandated by Applicable Law which cannot be contractually waived.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY
6.1 Definition of Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means all information disclosed by a party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Customer's Confidential Information includes Customer Data. Vissibl's Confidential Information includes the Services (including its software, algorithms, and underlying technology), its business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes. Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (c) is received from a third party without knowledge of any breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.
6.2 Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to: (a) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of these Terms; and (b) except as otherwise authorised by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its affiliates’ employees, contractors, and agents who need that access for purposes consistent with these Terms and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of these Terms or any Order Form to any third party other than its affiliates, legal counsel, and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its affiliate, legal counsel, or accountants will remain responsible for such third party’s compliance with this Section 6.
6.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by Applicable Law or a court or governmental order to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
6.4 Return or Destruction. Upon request by the Disclosing Party, or upon termination or expiration of these Terms (whichever is earlier), the Receiving Party will, at the Disclosing Party's election, promptly return to the Disclosing Party or securely destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in its possession or control, and certify such destruction in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain copies of Confidential Information to the extent required by Applicable Law or for backup and archival purposes in accordance with its standard data retention policies, provided that such retained Confidential Information shall remain subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth herein for as long as it is retained.
6.5 Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that any unauthorised disclosure or use of Confidential Information would cause the other party irreparable harm for which damages alone would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party agrees that the other party shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any such actual or threatened unauthorised disclosure or use, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that such party may have.
7. DATA PROTECTION AND SECURITY
7.1 Compliance with Data Protection Laws. Each party shall comply with its respective obligations under all Applicable Data Protection Laws. For the purposes of these Terms, "Applicable Data Protection Laws" means the DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020 (the "DIFC DPL") and any other data protection or privacy laws applicable to the processing of Personal Data under these Terms. "Personal Data," "Controller," "Processor," "Processing," and "Data Subject" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the DIFC DPL.
7.2 Roles of the Parties. The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Processing of Personal Data contained within Customer Data, Customer is the Controller and Vissibl is the Processor. Vissibl will Process Personal Data only on behalf of and in accordance with Customer’s documented lawful instructions as set out in these Terms, any applicable Order Form, and any Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") entered into between the parties, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law to which Vissibl is subject. In such a case, Vissibl shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before Processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest.
7.3 Vissibl's Obligations as Processor. To the extent Vissibl Processes Personal Data on behalf of Customer, Vissibl will:
(a) Implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the Personal Data against unauthorised or unlawful Processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration, or disclosure, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
(b) Ensure that its personnel authorised to Process Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
(c) Not engage another Processor ("Sub-processor") without prior specific or general written authorisation of the Customer. In the case of general written authorisation, Vissibl shall inform the Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other Sub-processors, thereby giving the Customer the opportunity to object to such changes. Vissibl shall ensure that any Sub-processor it engages is subject to data protection obligations compatible with those imposed on Vissibl under these Terms and any DPA. Vissibl shall remain fully liable to the Customer for the performance of that Sub-processor's obligations.
(d) Taking into account the nature of the Processing, assist the Customer by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the Customer's obligation to respond to requests from Data Subjects exercising their rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
(e) Assist the Customer in ensuring compliance with its obligations relating to the security of Processing, notification of Personal Data breaches to the supervisory authority and Data Subjects, and data protection impact assessments, taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to Vissibl.
(f) Upon Customer's request and at Customer's expense, make available to the Customer information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in this Section 7 and Applicable Data Protection Laws, and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Customer or another auditor mandated by the Customer (subject to reasonable notice and confidentiality undertakings).
(g) Notify the Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a Personal Data breach affecting Personal Data Processed on behalf of the Customer.
7.4 Customer's Obligations as Controller. Customer warrants that it has all necessary rights, consents, and legal bases to provide Personal Data to Vissibl for Processing in connection with the Services and that its instructions to Vissibl for the Processing of Personal Data shall comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws. Customer is responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Personal Data and the means by which it acquired Personal Data.
7.5 Data Processing Addendum (DPA). The parties agree to enter into a DPA if required by Applicable Data Protection Laws or if otherwise deemed necessary by either party, which, upon execution, will be incorporated by reference into these Terms.
7.6 Use of Customer Data for AI Features. Vissibl will Process Customer Data, including any Personal Data therein, to provide the AI features of the Services as instructed by the Customer. Vissibl will not use Customer Data, including Personal Data, to train general AI models that would benefit other customers or third parties, unless (a) such Customer Data is anonymised and/or aggregated in a manner that it no longer constitutes Personal Data or identifies Customer or any individual, or (b) Customer provides explicit prior written consent for such use.
7.7 International Transfers. Vissibl shall not transfer Personal Data Processed on behalf of Customer to any country outside the Dubai International Financial Centre that is not recognised by the DIFC Commissioner of Data Protection as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, unless appropriate safeguards are in place as required by the DIFC DPL (such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Commissioner or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms) or a specific derogation applies.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
8.1 Vissibl IP. As between the parties, Vissibl and its licensors own and shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Services (including all underlying software, AI models, algorithms, know-how, and technology), Vissibl's Confidential Information, the documentation, any Vissibl trademarks and branding, and any and all modifications, enhancements, derivative works, or improvements to any of the foregoing, whether or not developed based on Feedback ("Vissibl IP"). No rights are granted to Customer hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein.
8.2 Customer Data. As between the parties, Customer owns and shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data and Customer's Confidential Information.
8.3 License to Vissibl.

8.4 AI Outputs. Subject to Vissibl's underlying ownership of the Vissibl IP (including the AI models and algorithms used to generate them), Customer shall own all right, title, and interest in and to the AI Outputs generated specifically for and provided to Customer through its use of the Services based on its Customer Data and prompts. Customer is solely responsible for the use, review, and validation of all AI Outputs. Vissibl retains the right to use, reproduce, and modify AI Outputs in an aggregated and anonymised form (that does not identify Customer, its Authorised Users, or any natural person) for the purpose of improving its AI models, services, and for other internal business analytics and development purposes.
8.5 Feedback. If Customer or any of its Authorised Users provides Vissibl with any suggestions, ideas, improvements, recommendations, or other feedback concerning the Services or any other Vissibl products or services ("Feedback"), Customer hereby grants Vissibl a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Feedback, without any obligation or accounting to Customer.

The per-unit pricing during any Renewal Term will be the same as that during the immediately prior term unless Vissibl has given Customer written notice of a pricing increase at least ninety (90) days before the end of that prior term, in which case the pricing increase will be effective upon renewal and thereafter.

12.4 Effect of Termination.
(a) Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms or an applicable Order Form: (i) all rights and licenses granted to Customer thereunder will immediately cease; (ii) Customer must immediately cease all use of and access to the applicable Services; (iii) Customer must pay any unpaid Fees accrued for the Services up to and including the effective date of termination or expiration; and (iv) upon Customer's written request made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration, Vissibl will make Customer Data available to Customer for export or download in a standard format. After such 30-day period, Vissibl will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data and may thereafter, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data in its systems or otherwise in its possession or under its control.
(b) If Customer terminates these Terms or an Order Form for Vissibl's uncured material breach in accordance with Section 12.3(a), Vissibl will refund to Customer any prepaid Fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term of the terminated Services after the effective date of termination. If Vissibl terminates these Terms or an Order Form for Customer's uncured material breach or for non-payment, Customer will pay any unpaid Fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term of all applicable Order Forms. In no event will termination relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any Fees payable to Vissibl for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
12.5 Suspension of Services. In addition to its rights under Section 5.3 (Late Payment) and Section 12.3 (Termination for Cause), Vissibl may suspend Customer's or any Authorised User's access to the Services, in whole or in part, immediately upon written notice if: (a) Customer or an Authorised User is using the Services in violation of these Terms (particularly Section 4.4 Restrictions) or Applicable Law; (b) Vissibl reasonably believes that the security or integrity of the Services or Customer Data is at risk; (c) suspension is necessary to protect Vissibl's rights or the rights of other customers; or (d) required by Applicable Law or a governmental authority. Vissibl will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the suspension to the affected part of ridiculed Services and to resolve the issues causing the suspension promptly.

13. MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms (other than for delay in the payment of money due and payable hereunder) to the extent said failures or delays are proximately caused by circumstances beyond that party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, floods, fires, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving such party's employees), Internet service provider failures or delays, denial of service attacks, or epidemics/pandemics (each a "Force Majeure Event"), provided that the party affected by a Force Majeure Event promptly notifies the other party and uses reasonable efforts to resume performance.
13.2 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided, however, that either party may assign these Terms in their entirety (including all Order Forms), without the other party’s consent to its affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets not involving a direct competitor of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this section will be null and void.

All notices, permissions, and approvals hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon: (a) personal delivery; (b) the second business day after mailing; or (c) the first business day after sending by confirmed facsimile or by email (provided email shall not be sufficient for notices of termination or an indemnifiable claim).
