2.7(d). Kyoso further reserves the right (but has no obligation) to monitor and review any Shared Content, and to investigate and/or take appropriate action against Customer and/or its Users in Kyoso’s sole discretion if any such Shared Content (including use thereof) violates Section 2.7(c), Section 2.6 above or any other provision of this Agreement, or otherwise creates liability for Kyoso or any other person.

2.8. Connected Applications. Customer and/or its Users may be permitted to link or otherwise connect or integrate Customer’s Connected Applications to the Platform (including via custom or pre-built integrations). By connecting any Connected Application to the Platform, Customer (a) represents and warrants that it is entitled to link or otherwise connect the Connected Application to the Platform; and (b) instructs Kyoso to access and/or share any Customer Content with the relevant providers of such Connected Applications. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Kyoso may access Connected Content so that it may be used in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. You acknowledge that any Connected Applications are not under Kyoso’s control and Kyoso is not responsible for those Connected Applications, and Kyoso will have no liability for any unavailability or failure of any Connected Application, or any third-party provider’s decision to discontinue, suspend or terminate any Connected Application. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kyoso expressly disclaims any and all express or implied conditions, warranties, representations, undertakings, or other terms of any nature relating to Connected Applications.
3. USE OF AI FEATURES
3.1. AI Features. Certain elements of the Platform are powered by AI Features (including AI Agents) such as those that generate Outputs and/or select Third Party AI Features. Customer may submit queries, prompts or other inputs to the AI Features (“Inputs”) and receive back outputs generated by the AI Features in response to Customer’s Inputs (“Outputs”), including audio-visual materials such as advertising or promotional content. Inputs will be shared with the third parties that provide the AI Features in order to generate Outputs. Customer acknowledges and accepts that the Platform enables certain agentic Output creation and model-selection functionality powered by AI Agents, whereby AI Agents may execute tasks, actions or other functions with respect to certain software, technology or Content on Customer’s behalf. Customer is responsible for setting and updating permissions and access levels for AI Agents, including which actions it authorises the AI Agents to perform. If Customer requests (including by way of configuration of the Platform) that an AI Agent take certain actions, Customer is solely responsible for authorising such conduct and is responsible for the actions that the AI Agent takes on its behalf.
3.2. Reliance on AI; Disclaimer. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.2, Customer expressly understands and agrees that Customer's use of the AI Features (including AI Agents and Third Party AI Features) is at Customer's sole risk. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that:
- Customer is solely responsible for its use of the AI Features, including any Outputs and any decisions made or actions taken (whether by Customer or an AI Agent) based on any Input or Output, and any conduct Customer engages in as a result of information provided by an AI Agent or any other AI Feature (including Third Party AI Features) is at Customer's own risk;
- Kyoso makes no representation or warranty as to the originality, legality, accuracy, completeness, reliability, fitness for any particular purpose, or any other attributes of any Outputs, and that AI Features may be misaligned, may have imperfect prompt adherence, and may generate inaccurate or unintended Outputs (including so-called "hallucinations");
- Outputs may contain errors, omissions, offensive material, or third-party content and Customer is solely responsible for its and its Users’ use of, distribution of, and reliance on Outputs, including for compliance with applicable laws and third-party rights;
- Kyoso expressly disclaims any and all liability arising from or relating to Outputs and the operation of AI Features (including AI Agents and Third Party AI Features); and
- the Platform may generate the same or similar Output for multiple users or customers, nothing in this Agreement restricts Kyoso's right to do so, and Kyoso shall have no liability in connection therewith.
3.3. No AI Misuse. Customer shall not use the Platform or any Outputs in any way that would: (a) render the Platform a ‘high-risk AI system’ for the purposes of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) (the “AI Act”), including Article 6 thereof; (b) constitute a ‘prohibited AI practice’ for the purposes of the AI Act, including Article 5 thereof; (c) in any manner that results in the use of Outputs constituting ‘deep fakes’ (meaning AI-generated or manipulated images or videos that resemble existing persons, objects, places, entities or events and would falsely appear to a person to be authentic or truthful) without disclosing that the Output has been artificially generated or manipulated; or (d) remove or alter any ‘watermarks’, metadata, or technical identifiers applied to Outputs that use machine-readable technologies to identify them as AI-generated.
4. FEES AND PAYMENT
4.1. Subscriptions; Fees. Licenses to the Platform are available on a subscription basis (a “Subscription”). The Fees for such Subscription will be set forth on an applicable Order and will be billed at the start of the Subscription and at regular intervals in accordance with Customer’s elections on the Order at the time of purchase. Kyoso reserves the right to change the timing of billing and to change the Subscription pricing at any time. If changes to the Subscription pricing occur that impact Customer’s Subscription, Kyoso will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer, such as by sending an email to the email address associated with Customer’s account. If Customer does not agree with such changes, Customer may cancel its Subscription as set forth in Section 4.1(b) (Cancelling Subscriptions). Fees are non-refundable (except as expressly set out in an Order) and are not eligible for set off. Customer will pay the Fees within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice. Customer will maintain complete, accurate and up-to-date Customer billing and contact information.
4.1(a). Automatic Renewal. Each Subscription will continue and automatically renew at Kyoso’s then-current price for such Subscription until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (each such renewal term, a “Renewal Term”). The frequency at which Customer’s Subscription renews (i.e., monthly, annually, etc.) will be designated on the Order. By subscribing, Customer authorizes Kyoso to charge the payment method designated in Customer’s account now, and again at the beginning of any Renewal Term. Upon renewal of Customer’s Subscription, if Kyoso does not receive payment, (i) Customer shall pay all amounts due on Customer’s account upon demand and/or (ii) Customer agrees that Kyoso may either terminate or suspend Customer’s Subscription and continue to attempt to charge Customer’s designated payment method until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, Customer’s account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, the Renewal Term will begin as of the day payment was received).
4.1(b). Cancelling Subscriptions. Customer may cancel its Subscription by logging in and selecting the cancellation option within the account settings page or otherwise by contacting Kyoso (in accordance with Section 13.3 (Notices)), which will be effective at the end of the then-current Subscription term. For clarity, any cancellation of a Subscription will be subject to any minimum term agreed in an Order.
4.1(c). Effect of Cancellation. If Customer cancels its Subscription, Customer may use its Subscription until the end of the then-current Subscription term; Customer’s Subscription will not be renewed after the then-current term expires. However, Customer will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Fees paid for the then-current Subscription period.
4.1(d). Upgrades and Downgrades. If Customer chooses to upgrade its Subscription in the middle of a Subscription period, such upgrade will take effect immediately and any incremental Fees associated with such upgrade will be charged in accordance with this Agreement. In any future Renewal Term, the Fees will reflect any such upgrades. If Customer chooses to downgrade a Subscription, the downgrade will take effect as of the first day of the next Renewal Term. Downgrading a Subscription may cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Platform, and Kyoso does not accept any liability for such loss.
4.1(e). Free Trials and Promotional Access. Any free trial or other promotion that provides Users access to the Platform must be used within the specified time of the trial. At the end of the trial or promotional period, Customer’s use of the Platform will automatically roll into a paid Subscription at Kyoso’s then-current Fees, and Customer will be charged for such Subscription as set forth in this Section 4.1 (Subscriptions; Fees) if it does not cancel prior to the start date of the Subscription period.
4.1(f). Consumption-based pricing; Overages. Where any Fees are calculated in whole or in any part on a consumption-based, usage-based model or similar, in the event that Customer exceeds any limits identified in the Order (“Excess Usage”), without limitation to any other remedies Kyoso may have: (a) Customer shall be liable to pay the applicable overage Fees based upon the overage rates for such Excess Usage (each as set out in or referenced in the Order or otherwise notified to Customer from time to time); and (b) upon invoice, Customer shall pay for the Excess Usage at the amounts so invoiced. Furthermore, Customer understands and consents that Kyoso may use and deploy (including via the Platform) certain technologies used to track and monitor the relevant metrics necessary to monitor consumption and accurately calculate the Fees (“Consumption Tracking Technologies”). Statistics of any relevant metrics captured by the Consumption Tracking Technologies will be made available to Customer via a billing dashboard or similar made available in the Platform. Customer shall not: (x) use any software, tools or techniques to, or otherwise in any way, hide, obfuscate, reduce or alter its actual usage; nor (y) circumvent, disable, or interfere with any Consumption Tracking Technologies.
4.2. Payments. Customer agrees to pay all charges at the amounts in effect when such charges are incurred. Kyoso may use one or more third-party service providers (each “Third-Party Payment Processor” (e.g., Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (“Stripe”)) for payment services, such as card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services. If you subscribe to the Platform, you will be required to provide your payment details and any additional information required to complete your order directly to the Third-Party Payment Processor. Customer shall provide and maintain complete and accurate payment and billing information and a valid and authorised payment method by which it shall pay the Fees (“Payment Method”). Where Stripe is the Third-Party Payment Processor, you agree to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/privacy) and its Terms of Service (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/legal/ssa). For any other Third-Party Payment Processors, you agree to be bound by any relevant terms and conditions of such Third-Party Payment Processor as may be presented to you during the checkout flow. You hereby consent and authorize Kyoso and its Third-Party Payment Processors to share any information and payment instructions you provide with one or more third-party providers to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions. Please note that online payment transactions may be subject to validation checks by Third-Party Payment Processors and your card issuer, and Kyoso is not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason. For your protection, Third-Party Payment Processors may use various fraud prevention protocols and industry standard verification systems to reduce fraud, and you authorize them to verify and authenticate your payment information. Your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. Kyoso is not responsible for this. In some jurisdictions, Third-Party Payment Processors may use third parties under strict confidentiality and data protection requirements for the purposes of payment processing services.
4.3. Payment Information. By providing your Payment Method, you agree that Kyoso, its service providers, and any of its Third-Party Payment Processors are authorized to immediately charge your account for all applicable Fees and that no additional notice or consent is required. If Customer’s Payment Method is rejected, no longer active, and/or payment for the Fees otherwise cannot be processed via that Payment Method, then Kyoso will notify Customer and Customer will pay the Fees immediately via another mechanism agreeable to Kyoso, pending which Kyoso may suspend your access to the Platform.
4.4. Subscription Plans, Credits, and Billing (Enterprise and Other Tiers). Kyoso offers access to its services through subscription plans, which include a defined allocation of usage Credits and/or feature access.
4.4(a). Credits and Rollover. Credits included in a subscription plan may roll over to subsequent billing periods, subject to any limits or conditions communicated at the time of purchase or in the product interface. Kyoso reserves the right to modify rollover policies with reasonable notice. For annual contracts, any unused Credits will expire at the end of the applicable commitment period and will not roll over.
4.4(b). Credit Usage. Credits are consumed when Customer uses certain features of the Platform, including using AI Features (including generation of Outputs through use of AI Features and/or the execution of certain tasks, actions or other functions performed by AI Agents with respect to certain AI Features, software, technology or Content). The number of Credits consumed by a particular action or feature will vary based on factors determined by Kyoso in its discretion, including the complexity and resource intensity of the applicable action or workflow, and/or the particular AI Features used to generate the Output. Kyoso will make available a Credit usage guide describing how Credits generally work, which is provided for informational purposes only and does not form part of this Agreement. Kyoso may update how Credits are calculated from time to time, and Customer is responsible for monitoring its Credit balance through the Platform.
4.4(c). No Add-On Credits. Kyoso does not currently offer standalone or one-time credit purchases outside of subscription plans. Additional usage is available only through upgrading to a higher-tier subscription.
4.4(d). Enterprise Usage and Overage. For Enterprise contracts, Customer should contact Kyoso Sales to upgrade their plan for higher credit limits. If the Enterprise credit pool is exhausted, additional usage will continue on an "On-Demand" basis and will be charged in arrears based on actual consumption. On-Demand usage is charged at a higher rate than usage within pre-committed Enterprise credits, as it reflects standard public pricing in the contract. Once the Enterprise credit pool is exhausted, any additional usage ("overages") will be billed on a pay-as-you-go basis.
4.4(e). Upgrades. Subscription upgrades take effect immediately. Upon upgrading, Customer may receive increased usage limits and/or additional features right away. Billing adjustments may be applied on a prorated basis, where applicable.
4.4(f). Downgrades and Cancellations. Subscription downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. Customer will retain access to its current plan and features until the end of that period, after which the changes will take effect. Any remaining Credits will remain available until the end of the applicable billing period or annual commitment term, after which they will expire.
4.4(g). Billing Cycle. Subscriptions renew automatically on a recurring basis unless cancelled prior to the renewal date.
4.4(h). No Monetary Value; No Transfer; Non-refundable. Credits have no cash value, are not redeemable for cash, are not transferable, and may not be sold, resold, assigned, sublicensed, or otherwise transferred to any third party. Credits may only be used by Customer in connection with Customer's subscription to the Platform. All Fees for Credits are non-refundable.
4.4(i). Pricing Changes. Kyoso reserves the right to change Credit pricing at any time. Any changes to Credit pricing applicable to Customer's then-current subscription will take effect at the start of the next Renewal Term. Kyoso will provide Customer with reasonable advance notice of any material changes to Credit pricing.
4.5. Taxes. All Fees owed by Customer in connection with this Agreement are exclusive of, and Customer will pay, all sales, use, excise and other taxes and applicable export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges that may be levied upon Customer in connection with this Agreement, except for employment taxes and taxes based on Kyoso’s income.
4.6. Late Payment. Payments by Customer that are past due will be subject to interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month (or, if less, the maximum allowed by applicable law) of that overdue balance. Kyoso reserves the right (in addition to any other rights or remedies Kyoso may have) to suspend Customer’s access to the Platform if any Fees set forth in the applicable Order are overdue until such amounts are paid in full.

13.8. Miscellaneous. This Agreement (as may be modified from time to time) is the entire understanding and agreement of the parties, and supersedes any and all previous and contemporaneous understandings. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Agreement and an Order, the Order shall prevail solely to the extent of the inconsistency. No terms of any purchase order, acknowledgement, or other form provided by Customer will modify this Agreement, regardless of any failure of Kyoso to object to such terms. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall be interpreted equitably without regard to which party was the drafter hereof. Kyoso may modify the terms of this Agreement at any time, and any such modification will take effect during a subsequent Renewal Term. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the valid or enforceable portion thereof and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. All waivers must be in writing. The headings of Sections of this Agreement are for convenience and are not to be used in interpreting this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, franchise, joint venture, or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. There are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
14. Dispute Resolution Agreement
14.1. Arbitration of Disputes. Subject to the terms of this agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”), you and Kyoso agree that all disputes or claims between you and Kyoso that arise out of or relate in any way to your use of or access to the Platform, or to this Agreement, including prior versions of this Agreement, (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration. By entering into this Arbitration Agreement, all parties are waiving their respective rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or jury. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes, for example, Disputes brought under any legal theory or that arose before you first accepted any version of this Agreement containing an arbitration provision. This Arbitration Agreement does not preclude any party from (1) bringing claims in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; or (2) seeking equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).
14.2. Informal Dispute Resolution. Before initiating any proceeding according to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, as a condition precedent to doing so, you and Kyoso agree to try to first resolve Disputes informally by contacting the other party in writing (the “Notice of Dispute”). If the Dispute is not resolved within 45 days after submission of the Notice of Dispute, you or Kyoso may commence arbitration or, in the limited circumstances described in this subsection above, an alternative legal proceeding. Any applicable statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this informal Dispute resolution process. You and Kyoso agree that any Dispute subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement not resolved informally must be filed in arbitration within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
14.3. Arbitration Procedures. The interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings initiated hereunder will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. The National Arbitration & Mediation (“NAM”) will administer the arbitration in accordance with the NAM Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedure (the “NAM Rules”) in effect at the time of arbitration, except as supplemented, where applicable, by the NAM Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings (both sets of rules are currently available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/), and as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues related to the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and the arbitrability of Disputes, except that only a court of competent jurisdiction may decide issues concerning the validity, enforceability, interpretation, and breach of Section 14.6. The arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside or New York, New York, unless the parties agree to another location or the Batch Arbitration process is triggered per Section 14.7. The arbitrator will issue a final, binding written award, which may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
14.4. Confidentiality. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration will be kept confidential.
14.5. Arbitration Fees. The NAM Rules will govern the payment of arbitration fees. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the arbitrator finds that the Dispute was frivolous and/or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
14.6. No Class or Representative Actions. You and Kyoso agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, all parties MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, determines that this Arbitration Agreement is invalid or unenforceable as to any particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Kyoso agree that only that particular claim or request for relief will be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York.
14.7. Batch Arbitration. Notwithstanding Section 14.6, to increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Kyoso agree that, in the event there are ten (10) or more individual requests for arbitration (“Requests”) of a substantially similar nature (i.e., Requests that arise out of or relate to the same or similar facts and raise the same or similar legal issues and requests for relief) filed against Kyoso by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a ninety (90)-day period, NAM will (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (or, if between ten (10) and ninety-nine (99) individual Requests are filed, a single batch of all those Requests, and, to the extent there are fewer than 100 Requests remaining after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”). If there is any dispute about the applicability of these Batch Arbitration procedures, NAM will appoint a single administrative arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Kyoso.
14.8. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do not wish to be bound by this Arbitration Agreement, you must send written notice to Kyoso within thirty (30) days of first accepting any version of this Agreement containing an Arbitration Agreement. You must send this notice to legal@kyoso.com or Lumina Platform US, Inc., 800 North State Street, Suite 304, Dover, Delaware 19901, United States and must include: (1) your name and address; (2) the email address you used to set up your Platform account (if you have one); and (3) an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with Kyoso.
14.9. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement. Kyoso retains the right to make changes to this Arbitration Agreement in the future. You may reject any such change by notifying Kyoso within thirty (30) days of that change at legal@kyoso.com or Lumina Platform US, Inc., 800 North State Street, Suite 304, Dover, Delaware 19901, United States. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days, your continued use of the Platform constitutes your acceptance of the change. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you did not previously properly opt out per the requirements in Section 14.8 above. By rejecting a future change, you remain bound to arbitrate any Dispute in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, as modified by any changes to the Arbitration Agreement you did not reject. Kyoso will continue to honor any valid opt outs to the Arbitration Agreement, and you do not need to submit a rejection of future changes to this Arbitration Agreement if you properly opted out per the requirements in Section 14.8 above.
