Any differing or additional terms presented by the User are valid only if accepted in writing by Sluicebox. The provision of services by Sluicebox does not constitute acceptance of any such additional or conflicting terms.

We operate the website https://www.sluicebox.ai (the "Site"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms" or “Terms”) (collectively, the "Services"). These Legal Terms apply to all Order Form(s) entered into by the Customer and Sluicebox, Inc. “Order Form" means a written document executed by Customer and Sluicebox, detailing specific products, services, quantities, pricing, duration, and other transactional terms agreed upon by both parties. Each Order Form is incorporated into and governed by these Terms. Each Order Form, together with these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the API Terms and Conditions, if applicable, constitutes the complete and binding agreement between the parties (collectively, the “Agreement”), superseding all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral.

You can contact us by email at legal@sluicebox.ai or by mail to 11801 Domain Blvd, 3rd Fl, Austin, TX 78758, United States.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and Sluicebox, Inc., concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity (“Entity”), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Entity to these Terms. In such case, the term “you” will refer to the Entity.

All employees, contractors, agents, or other individuals who are authorized to access or use the Services on the Entity’s behalf (“Authorized Users”) must expressly accept these Terms via clickwrap upon login. The Entity is responsible for ensuring that all Authorized Users comply with these Terms. The Entity shall be liable for any breach of this Agreement by its Authorized Users.

For purposes of these Terms, "User(s)" means any individual or entity who accesses, registers for, or interacts with the Services, including, without limitation: (i) anyone registering an account or logging into the platform, (ii) anyone accessing or interacting with the Services via APIs or integrations, and (iii) anyone contacting, corresponding with, or otherwise interacting with the Services via email, including but not limited to inquiries directed to support@sluicebox.ai or any other "@sluicebox.ai" email address operated by the Company.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Legal Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide you with prior notice of any scheduled changes to the Services you are using, such as by posting an update on our website or sending an email. The modified Legal Terms will become effective upon posting or notifying you by terms@sluicebox.ai, as stated in the email message.

If your annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) with Sluicebox exceeds $500,000 in any twelve (12) month period, Sluicebox reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require that you enter into a separate, written Master Services Agreement (“MSA”). Upon execution of such MSA, the terms of the MSA shall supersede and replace these Terms with respect to your continued use of the Services.

Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Austin, Texas,, United States. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Delaware, United States, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any claim brought by Sluicebox to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of Sluicebox; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
