AI Features and Third-Party Large Language Models
The Website and App may include features that use artificial intelligence, including third-party large language models (“LLMs”) and other generative AI services (collectively, “AI Features”). The AI Features are powered by one or more third-party AI service providers, which may include, without limitation, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon Web Services, and other commercial or open-source providers (collectively, “AI Providers”). The specific AI Providers used to power the AI Features may vary by feature, may change from time to time at our sole discretion without notice to you, and a single request may be processed by more than one AI Provider.
When you use AI Features, the content, prompts, files, messages, data, and any other information you submit (collectively, “AI Inputs”) may be transmitted to, processed by, and temporarily or permanently stored by one or more AI Providers in order to generate a response or perform the requested task.
By using the AI Features, you acknowledge, represent, warrant, and agree that:
You are solely responsible for all AI Inputs you submit and for any consequences arising from their submission, including any transmission of those AI Inputs to AI Providers, regardless of which AI Provider receives the AI Inputs.
You will not submit, and will not permit any of your employees, contractors, agents, or other authorized users to submit, any of the following as AI Inputs: (a) personally identifiable information (“PII”) of yourself or any third party, including but not limited to Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, government-issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, payment card information, or login credentials; (b) protected health information (“PHI”) subject to HIPAA or similar laws; (c) information protected by attorney-client privilege, trade secret, or other confidentiality obligation owed to a third party; (d) any data the disclosure of which would violate any law, regulation, contract, or third-party right; or (e) any content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or otherwise prohibited under these Terms of Use.
You have obtained, and at all times maintain, all necessary rights, consents, permissions, and legal bases required to submit the AI Inputs and to authorize the Company and any AI Provider to process them as described in these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
AI Features are inherently probabilistic and may produce output that is inaccurate, incomplete, biased, outdated, offensive, fabricated, or otherwise unsuitable for your intended purpose (“AI Output”). AI Output does not constitute professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to legal, financial, tax, accounting, business, engineering, horticultural, or safety advice. You are solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and verifying any AI Output before relying on it or using it in your business, and you assume all risk arising from your use of AI Output.
Once AI Inputs are transmitted to an AI Provider, the Company has limited or no control over how those inputs are processed, retained, logged, or used by that provider. Each AI Provider operates under its own terms of service, privacy policy, data processing terms, and security practices, which may differ from one another and from ours, and which may change at any time. The Company does not warrant or guarantee the security, confidentiality, retention practices, geographic location of processing, or non-use for model training of AI Inputs by any AI Provider. While we endeavor to use AI Providers whose terms align with reasonable commercial standards for business use, we make no representation or warranty regarding any specific AI Provider’s practices.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO (A) YOUR SUBMISSION OF AI INPUTS, INCLUDING ANY AI INPUTS THAT CONTAIN PII, PHI, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, OR INFORMATION OF THIRD PARTIES; (B) THE PROCESSING, TRANSMISSION, STORAGE, OR USE OF AI INPUTS BY ANY AI PROVIDER; (C) ANY AI OUTPUT, INCLUDING DECISIONS YOU MAKE OR ACTIONS YOU TAKE IN RELIANCE ON AI OUTPUT; (D) ANY UNAVAILABILITY, ERROR, DELAY, OR INTERRUPTION IN THE AI FEATURES; AND (E) ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY AI PROVIDER.

The Company reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor, restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the AI Features at any time, with or without notice, and to add, remove, substitute, or otherwise modify the AI Providers used to power the AI Features at any time without notice to you.

Processing of End-Customer Personal Information
This section governs the Company’s processing of personal information that you submit to the Website or App about individuals other than yourself, including your end customers, employees, and contractors (such information, “End-Customer Personal Information”). For purposes of applicable state privacy laws, including but not limited to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA”), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), the Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”), the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA”), the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (“UCPA”), and other similar laws as may apply (collectively, “State Privacy Laws”), you are the “controller” or “business” with respect to End-Customer Personal Information, and the Company is your “processor” or “service provider.”
Scope and Purpose of Processing. The Company processes End-Customer Personal Information solely to provide the Website and App to you and to perform the services contemplated by these Terms of Use, including job estimation, scheduling, customer record-keeping, communications, invoicing, payment processing, and related business operations. The categories of End-Customer Personal Information processed may include identifiers (such as names, postal addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers); commercial information (such as records of services provided and payment history); financial information (such as payment card details, processed through our payment processor); and any other information you choose to submit through the Website or App.
Restrictions on Use. The Company shall not (a) sell or share End-Customer Personal Information, as those terms are defined under applicable State Privacy Laws; (b) retain, use, or disclose End-Customer Personal Information for any purpose other than the specific purposes set forth in these Terms of Use, including for any commercial purpose other than providing the services to you; (c) retain, use, or disclose End-Customer Personal Information outside the direct business relationship between the Company and you; or (d) combine End-Customer Personal Information with personal information received from or on behalf of any other person, except as permitted under applicable State Privacy Laws. The Company certifies that it understands and will comply with these restrictions.
Confidentiality and Security. The Company shall require all personnel and authorized sub-processors with access to End-Customer Personal Information to be bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations. The Company shall implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect End-Customer Personal Information against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, taking into account the nature of the information and the risks of processing.
Sub-Processors. You authorize the Company to engage sub-processors to assist in providing the Website and App, including cloud hosting providers, payment processors (including Rainforest Payments), email and communications providers, AI service providers as described elsewhere in these Terms of Use, and similar service providers. The Company shall require each sub-processor to be bound by written obligations no less protective of End-Customer Personal Information than those set forth in this section.
Assistance with Data Subject Requests. Where required by applicable State Privacy Laws, the Company shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to the Company, provide reasonable assistance to you in responding to verifiable consumer requests from data subjects to exercise their rights under such laws (including rights to access, delete, correct, or limit the use of their personal information). You are responsible for verifying the identity of the requesting data subject and for determining how to respond to such requests. The Company may charge a reasonable fee for assistance that exceeds the scope of standard service or requires significant additional effort.
Security Incident Notification. The Company shall notify you promptly and without undue delay after becoming aware of any confirmed unauthorized access to or disclosure of End-Customer Personal Information stored on the Company’s systems (a “Security Incident”). Such notification shall include the information reasonably available to the Company concerning the nature of the Security Incident, the categories and approximate number of records affected (where known), and the measures the Company has taken or proposes to take to address the incident.

Your Representations. You represent and warrant that, with respect to all End-Customer Personal Information you submit to the Website or App: (a) you have provided all notices, obtained all consents, and have all other legal bases required under applicable laws (including State Privacy Laws and the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, where applicable) to collect, use, and submit such information to the Website and App and to authorize the Company to process it as contemplated by these Terms of Use; (b) you have a lawful basis to instruct the Company to process such information; and (c) your instructions to the Company comply with applicable laws.
Verification of Compliance.

You agree to treat any such information as the Company’s confidential information.
Return or Deletion on Termination. Upon termination of your account, End-Customer Personal Information will be handled in accordance with the Data Retention provision of these Terms of Use, except to the extent the Company is required by applicable law to retain certain End-Customer Personal Information for a longer period or to retain it in routine backup systems pending scheduled deletion.

Conflict with Privacy Policy. This section governs the Company’s processing of End-Customer Personal Information that you submit through the Website or App. The Company’s separate Privacy Policy (https://synkedup.com/privacy-policy) governs the Company’s collection and use of personal information about you and your authorized users in the Company’s own capacity as a controller. In the event of any conflict between this section and the Privacy Policy with respect to End-Customer Personal Information, this section shall control.

Platform Payment Processing Agreement
This Payment Processing Agreement is entered into between SynkedUP (Referred to as ”Platform”) and the company/user of the SynkedUP product (Referred to as “Merchant”), and is effective upon the date the Merchant signed up for SynkedUP.

Such increases shall become effective only after Platform has provided Merchant at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice setting forth the changes. If Merchant does not accept the change, Merchant may terminate this Payment Processing Agreement at any time before the effective date of the change without penalty.
Related to the Processing Services, Platform will charge Merchant according to the fees listed below (“Processing Fees”). All Processing Fees payable under this agreement are exclusive of taxes. Platform may amend the Processing Fees from time to time and shall provide Merchant with at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of any such change. Merchant’s continued use of the Processing Services after the effective date of the change constitutes acceptance. If Merchant does not accept a fee change, Merchant may terminate this Payment Processing Agreement at any time before the effective date of the change without penalty, and any transactions processed prior to the effective date shall continue to be processed at the prior fee rates.

Platform will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Merchant with at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of any material change to the Rainforest Terms of which Platform receives advance notice from Rainforest.

Term and Termination
The term of this Payment Processing Agreement begins on the date the Merchant signed up for SynkedUP and continues until terminated as set forth herein. Either party may terminate this Payment Processing Agreement for convenience by providing the other party with at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Payment Processing Agreement immediately upon written notice if (a) the other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days of written notice of the breach; (b) the other party becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (c) Platform reasonably determines, in good faith, that continued provision of the Processing Services would violate applicable law, card network rules, or the requirements of Rainforest or any other payment network. Upon termination, Merchant remains responsible for all Processing Fees, chargebacks, refunds, and other amounts incurred before the effective date of termination, and any transactions in process at the time of termination shall be completed in accordance with the terms in effect immediately prior to termination.

Indemnification
Indemnification by You. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your violation of these Terms of Use; (b) your use of the Website or App, including your User Contributions, any use of the Website’s content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use, or your use of any information obtained from the Website; (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party (including any intellectual property right, right of publicity, or right of privacy) in connection with your use of the Website or App; or (d) any User Contributions or other data you submit.
Indemnification by the Company. The Company will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless you from and against any third-party claim alleging that your authorized use of the Website or App, in accordance with these Terms of Use, infringes such third party’s United States patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret rights, and will pay the resulting costs, damages, and reasonable attorneys’ fees awarded against you by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in settlement by the Company. This obligation does not apply to claims arising from (a) your User Contributions; (b) modifications to the Website or App not made by the Company; (c) your combination of the Website or App with products, services, or data not provided by the Company; (d) your use of the Website or App other than as authorized by these Terms of Use; or (e) open-source components included in the Website or App, to the extent the alleged infringement arises from such open-source components.
If a claim under this Section is made or, in the Company’s reasonable opinion, appears likely, the Company may, at its option and expense, (i) procure for you the right to continue using the affected portion of the Website or App; (ii) modify the affected portion of the Website or App so that it becomes non-infringing while providing materially equivalent functionality; or (iii) terminate your use of the affected portion of the Website or App and refund any prepaid fees for the unused portion of the affected service. THIS SECTION STATES THE COMPANY’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY, AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, FOR ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.
Procedure. The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall (a) promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim for which indemnification is sought; (b) give the Indemnifying Party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party may not settle any claim that imposes any liability or non-monetary obligation on the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); and (c) provide reasonable cooperation in the defense of the claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. Failure to notify the Indemnifying Party promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations except to the extent it is materially prejudiced by the delay.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Pennsylvania without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Pennsylvania or any other jurisdiction).
Subject to the mediation and arbitration requirements set forth below, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or the Website that is permitted to be brought in court (including, without limitation, an action to compel, confirm, vacate, modify, or enforce an arbitration award, or an action for injunctive or other equitable relief as expressly permitted below) shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in each case located in the City of Hollidaysburg and County of Blair, Pennsylvania. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts for all such suits and waives any and all objections, including any objection based on inconvenient forum, to the exercise of jurisdiction or venue by such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek temporary, preliminary, or other equitable or injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction solely to the extent necessary to prevent imminent or irreparable harm to that party’s intellectual property rights, confidential information, or trade secrets, pending resolution of the underlying dispute through the mediation and arbitration process required by this Agreement. Seeking such relief shall not constitute a waiver of either party’s right to arbitrate the underlying dispute. As a condition precedent to filing any suit other than for the limited injunctive relief described above, the parties must first have attempted in good faith to engage in mediation and then arbitration as outlined below.
Mediation and Arbitration
Either party shall send written notice to the other party of any dispute (“Dispute Notice“) arising hereunder. Any dispute arising from these Terms of Use or use of the Website, including but not limited to disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, shall first be submitted to non-binding mediation, and if that is unsuccessful then submitted to and decided by final binding arbitration.
The parties agree to submit each dispute first to a mediation service designated by the Company for mediation, via a written mediation request setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The parties shall cooperate with the mediation service and with one another in initiating and scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties covenant that they will use commercially reasonable efforts in participating in the mediation. The parties agree that the mediator’s fees and expenses and the costs incidental to the mediation will be shared equally between the parties.
The parties further agree that all offers, promises, conduct, and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts, and attorneys, and by the mediator and any employees of the mediation service, are confidential, privileged, and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.
If the parties cannot resolve any dispute through mediation for any reason, including, but not limited to, the failure of either party to agree to enter into mediation or agree to any settlement proposed by the mediator, within 60 days after the Dispute Notice, either party may commence final binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying Pennsylvania law.
Class Action Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Mediation and Arbitration section shall be null and void, but the remainder of these Terms of Use shall remain in effect.
Any mediation or arbitration hereunder shall be held exclusively in Blair County, Pennsylvania.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS THAT CANNOT BE CONTRACTUALLY SHORTENED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM EITHER PARTY MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement
The Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and SynkedUP regarding the Website and App and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website.
General Provisions
Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms of Use to the extent such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond the affected party’s reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, earthquakes, accidents, epidemics or pandemics, public health emergencies, strikes or labor disturbances, shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials, or failures, interruptions, or unavailability of internet service providers, cloud computing providers, payment networks, or telecommunications networks. The affected party shall give prompt notice of the force majeure event to the other party and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms of Use, by operation of law or otherwise, without the Company’s prior written consent.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms of Use are for the sole benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in these Terms of Use, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms of Use.
