Platform Uses.
1. QuillBot™ Usage Generally.
  The Platform generally allows a User, pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, to compare and re-phrase textual content User submits to the Platform (“Submissions”) using the Platform’s proprietary QuillBot™ thesaurus technology and obtain metrics therefrom. User may adjust QuillBot™ configuration(s) to result in variations on the re-phrased textual content (the “Output”) and may edit the Output to suit User’s purpose(s).
2. Registration.
  To use certain features of the Platform, User may be asked to register with the Platform. User agrees: (i) to provide true, accurate, current and complete information (“User Information”) about itself as prompted by any registration form; and (ii) to maintain and promptly update its User Information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If QuillBot has reasonable grounds to suspect that User Information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, QuillBot may suspend or terminate User’s access to and use of the Platform (or any portion thereof). User is solely and fully responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its username, password and, if applicable, API key (“Credentials”) and is solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under its Credentials. User agrees to: (i) immediately notify QuillBot of any unauthorized use of User’s Credentials or any other breach of security; and (ii) ensure that User logs off from its account at the end of each web applications session. QuillBot cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from User’s failure to comply with this section.
3. Paid Services.
  1. General.
    If User purchases any services that QuillBot offers for a fee (“Paid Services”), such as a subscription to QuillBot’s services, User authorizes QuillBot and its designated payment processors to store User’s payment information and other related information. User also agrees to pay the applicable fees for the Paid Services (including without limitation periodic fees for ongoing subscriptions (the “Subscription Fees”) as they become due plus all related taxes (including, without limitation, sales and use taxes, duties, or other governmental taxes or fees), and to reimburse QuillBot for all collection costs and interest for any overdue amounts. All fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for any partially used Paid Services (including partially used subscription periods) except: (i) as required by applicable law; and (iii) at QuillBot’s sole and absolute discretion. Fees for the Paid Services may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially purchase the Paid Services. Except as otherwise described in this Section 4, all prices for Paid Services are subject to change without notice.
  2. Plagiarism Checker
    QuillBot uses a third-party service provider to offer plagiarism checker as part of its Paid Service. If you subscribe to the Paid Service, you can use the plagiarism checker on up to 20 pages (250 words maximum per page) each month during your subscription period. For purposes of this paragraph, use of the plagiarism checker on a page is referred to as a “scan.” Failure to use 20 scans in any given month will not result in a rollover. Users have the ability to purchase additional scans a month for a one-time payment to QuillBot. Additional scans purchased but not used in a given month will rollover until used.
  3. Payment Method.
    QuillBot may, from time to time, offer various payment methods, including without limitation payment by credit card, by debit card, by check, by certain payment providers. User authorizes QuillBot to charge User for Paid Services through any payment method(s) User selects when purchasing the Paid Services (the “Payment Method”) and User agrees to make payment using such Payment Method(s) (QuillBot may, from time to time, receive and use updated payment method information provided by User or that financial institutions or payment processors may provide to QuillBot to update information related to User’s Payment Method(s), such as updated expiration dates or account numbers). Certain Payment Methods, such as credit cards and debit cards, may involve agreements between User and the financial institution, credit card issuer, or other provider of User’s chosen Payment Methods (the “Payment Method Provider”). If QuillBot does not receive payment from User’s Payment Method Provider, User agrees to directly pay all amounts due upon demand from QuillBot. User’s non-termination or continued use of the Paid Services reaffirms that QuillBot is authorized to charge User’s Payment Method.
  4. Automatic Renewal of Subscriptions.
    IF USER PAYS FOR A SUBSCRIPTION BY CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD (OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD IDENTIFIED ON QUILLBOT’S SERVICES OR A SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE AS INVOLVING AN AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION) AND USER DOES NOT CANCEL USER’S SUBSCRIPTION AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 4, USER’S SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY EXTENDED FOR SUCCESSIVE RENEWAL PERIODS OF THE SAME DURATION AS THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM ORIGINALLY SELECTED (FOR EXAMPLE, UNLESS USER CANCELS, A ONE MONTH SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON A MONTHLY BASIS). UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED IN ANY APPLICABLE ADDITIONAL TERMS OR COMMUNICATIONS QUILLBOT SENDS TO USER’S REGISTERED EMAIL ADDRESS, SUCH RENEWAL WILL BE AT THE SAME SUBSCRIPTION FEE AS WHEN USER FIRST SUBSCRIBED, PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES, UNLESS QUILLBOT NOTIFIES USER AT LEAST 10 DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF USER’S CURRENT TERM THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE WILL INCREASE. USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT USERS PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED FOR SUCH SUBSCRIPTION FEES, PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES, UPON EACH SUCH AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT USER’S SUBSCRIPTION IS SUBJECT TO AUTOMATIC RENEWALS AND USER CONSENTS TO AND ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RECURRING CHARGES TO USER’S CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD (OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD, AS APPLICABLE) BASED ON THIS AUTOMATIC RENEWAL FEATURE WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM USER AND WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW. USER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE RECURRING CHARGE MAY CHANGE IF THE APPLICABLE TAX RATES CHANGE OR IF USER IS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEES.
  5. Cancellation of Subscription.
    TO CHANGE OR CANCEL USER’S SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME, USER MAY GO TO THE “ACCOUNT SETTINGS” PAGE AFTER LOGGING INTO THE PLATFORM AND ELECT TO “UNSUBSCRIBE.” IF USER CANCELS USER’S SUBSCRIPTION, USER’S SUBSCRIPTION BENEFITS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE END OF USER’S THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM, BUT USER’S SUBSCRIPTION WILL NOT BE RENEWED AFTER THAT TERM EXPIRES. USER WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO A PRORATED REFUND OF ANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID FOR THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
  6. Current Billing Information Required.
    User agrees to provide current, complete, and accurate billing information and agree to promptly update all such information (such as changes in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date) as necessary for the processing of all payments that are due to QuillBot. User agrees to promptly notify QuillBot if User’s Payment Method is canceled (for example, due to loss or theft) or if User becomes aware of a potential breach of security related to User’s Payment Method. If User fails to provide any of the foregoing information, User acknowledges that User’s current Payment Method may continue to be charged for Paid Services and that User will remain responsible for all such charges.
  7. Change in Amount Authorized.
    If the total amount to be charged varies from the amount User authorized when purchasing any Paid Services (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of taxes, including without limitation sales and use taxes, duties or other governmental taxes or fees), QuillBot will provide notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge at least 10 days before the scheduled date of the transaction. If User does not cancel your Paid Services before the increased price goes into effect, User agrees to pay the increased price for the Paid Services. User agrees that QuillBot may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charge during or at the end of each billing cycle. QuillBot will inform User of any additional charges which are accumulated.
  8. Payment Processors.
    Ordering services through the Platform involves utilizing the secured server of a payment processing service provider (“PSP,” e.g., Stripe). Neither PSP nor any person or company related to PSP holds any ownership interest in the Platform or QuillBot, nor receives any financial benefit from the Platform or QuillBot other than a fee paid by QuillBot to PSP for the services performed by PSP. QuillBot makes absolutely no representations and/or warranties, and provides no assurances, regarding the PSP, the PSP owner, or the quality, availability, legality, or description of the payment processing services offered thereon. QUILLBOT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE PSP AND/OR THE SERVICES OFFERED THEREON.
4. API Usage.
  1. QuillBot may, in its sole discretion, set limits on User’s API usage including, without limitation, limits on the frequency with which User’s requests are processed. QuillBot may change such usage limits at any time, and/or may utilize technical measures to prevent over-usage and/or stop usage of the APIs by an application after any usage limitations are exceeded
  2. The term “Brand Features” shall mean QuillBot’s trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos (e.g., the QuillBot robot logo), domain names, and other distinctive brand features. User agrees only to use QuillBot’s word mark QUILLBOT, if at all, factually and in connection with User’s implementation of the API in User’s application or product.

User and QuillBot agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Cook County, Illinois, for any actions involving actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, or User’s outstanding payment of fees due hereunder.
2. Negotiations.
  In the event any dispute arises except those disputes the involving actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s Intellectual Property Rights, User and QuillBot agree to first attempt to negotiate the resolution any dispute, informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding.
3. Other parties.
  User accept that, as a corporation, QuillBot has an interest in limiting the personal liability of its officers and employees. User agrees that it will not bring any claim personally against QuillBot’s officers or employees in respect of any losses User suffers in connection with the Platform. Without prejudice to the foregoing, User agree that the limitations of warranties and liability set out in this Agreement will protect QuillBot’s officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, and sub-contractors as well as QuillBot.
4. Binding Arbitration.
  All claims arising from use of the Platform (except those disputes involving actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, or User’s outstanding payment of fees due hereunder) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. User understands that if either party elects to arbitrate, neither party will have the right to sue in court or have a jury trial. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes both of which are available at the AAA website http://www.adr.org. The Parties will submit briefs of no more than 10 pages and the arbitration hearing will be limited to two (2) days maximum.

User’s arbitration fees and User’s share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If User’s claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, QuillBot will pay User’s share of arbitration fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of User’s claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose as determined pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing. The Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
5. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER.
  USER AND QUILLBOT AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE LIMITED TO THE DISPUTE BETWEEN QUILLBOT AND USER INDIVIDUALLY. USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT USER AND QUILLBOT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE USER’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Miscellanea.
1. Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by a Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by such Party; (ii) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (iii) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
4. Remedies.

In addition, User acknowledges that during the course of accessing or using the Platform, User will or may have access to QuillBot’s proprietary information, including, without limitation, Platform code and related materials. Accordingly, the breach by User of the provisions of this Agreement concerning QuillBot’s proprietary rights will cause QuillBot irreparable injury and damage for which QuillBot will be entitled, without posting any bond or security, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief. The granting of equitable relief will not be construed as a waiver of any other rights of QuillBot in law or in equity. User agrees that the rights and remedies of User in the event of a breach of this Agreement by QuillBot shall be limited to the right to recover damages, if any, in an action at law, and in no event shall User be entitled to terminate or rescind this Agreement or enjoin or restrain QuillBot’s use or exploitation of the Submissions.
5. Assignment.
  QuillBot may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder to any person or entity at any time without User’s consent. User may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder to any person or entity without the prior written consent of QuillBot. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as will inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section.
