Dated: 3 Dec 2024
This Enterprise Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is by and between Trint Limited, a private limited company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“Trint”), and (“Customer”). Trint and Customer may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and together as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, Trint is the provider of a transcription, editing, and publishing platform and related services available on and through the website https://trint.com (the “Site”), as described in additional detail in TheAgreement and incorporated herein by reference (the “Services”); and
WHEREAS, each of Customer and Trint desires to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which Trint will provide Customer with the right to access and use the Services and may perform for Customer the Professional Services (as defined below), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, during the Term (as defined below), Trint hereby grants Customer limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable rights to access and use those Services solely for its own internal business purposes. Such rights of access and use reflect an agreement for services as opposed to a software license. Customer agrees its purchase of these rights in relation to each End User is neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, nor is it dependent on any oral or written comments made by Trint or its agents with respect to future functionality or features.
(b) In order to use the Services, Customer must register an account through the Site which Customer will use to monitor, manage, and administer the use of the Services by its End Users (as defined herein) and their activity, statistics, and associated data. Access to such account by Customer and to End User accounts by End Users will be restricted through the use of unique passwords and user names (together, the “Passwords”). Customer agrees to maintain the Passwords in strict confidence and not to provide the Passwords to any third party. Customer agrees to notify Trint promptly if there is a loss or compromise of any Passwords and Customer will be responsible solely for all actions, damages, liabilities, and losses incurred as a result of such loss or compromise. Until Trint has actual notice of such loss or compromise or unauthorized use, Trint will consider all account activity to be authorized by Customer. For purposes hereof, “End User” means each of Customer’s employees, independent contractors, and other third parties whom Customer authorizes to use the Services.
(c) In relation to each End User, Customer undertakes that: (i) the maximum number of End Users that it authorizes to access and use the Services shall not exceed the number of seats listed in Exhibit A with respect to the Services; (ii) Customer shall make such payment to Trint for any End User above any such maximum at the rate specified by Trint; (iii) it shall permit Trint or Trint’s designated auditor to audit the Services in order to establish the name and password of each End User and Trint’s data processing facilities to audit compliance with this Agreement. Each such audit may be conducted no more than once per quarter, at Trint’s expense, and this right shall be exercised with reasonable prior notice, in such a manner as not to substantially interfere with Customer’s normal conduct of business; (iv) if any of the audits referred to in clause 1(c)(iii) reveal that any password has been provided to any individual who is not an End User, then without prejudice to Trint’s other rights, Customer shall promptly disable such passwords and Trint shall not issue any new passwords to any such individual; and (v) if any of the audits referred to in clause 1(c)(iii) reveal that Customer has underpaid any of the Fees to Trint, then without prejudice to Trint’s other rights, Customer shall pay to Trint an amount equal to such underpayment as calculated in accordance with its current prices within 10 business days of the date of the relevant audit.
(d) At all times, Customer hereby agrees that each End User’s use of the Services is subject to such End User’s compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Further, Customer hereby agrees it is and will remain liable for any breach of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement by an End User (as if such End User were an original party hereto). In the event of any such breach by End User of any term or condition set forth in this Agreement, including actual, threatened, or suspected breaches, Trint may suspend or terminate such End User’s use of the Services, or suspend Customer’s access to and use of the Services, without penalty or liability to Customer, until such breach is cured to Trint’s satisfaction.
(e) In addition to the Services, Customer may purchase from Trint certain professional services (the “Professional Services”) pursuant to a statement of work executed by the Parties and referencing this Agreement (a “Statement of Work”). Each Statement of Work will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and will be considered a part hereof. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in any Statement of Work, and unless otherwise expressly set forth in such Statement of Work, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement will prevail. The Professional Services are provided by Trint separate and distinct from the Services and are not required for Customer’s use or enjoyment of the Services.
(f) The Services provided to Customer may include the use of automated transcription and summarisation technologies ('AI Services') to deliver outputs aligned with Customer’s content. Customer acknowledges that AI Services rely on data processing for functionality and accuracy. Such processing does not involve personalisation of outputs specific to Customer’s end users, nor will any uploaded data be retained for model training or improvement unless anonymised and aggregated in a non-identifiable form for performance benchmarking or quality assurance purposes. Trint shall not use, disclose, or store any AI-generated outputs beyond delivering requested Services, in alignment with applicable privacy standards.
Trint reserves the right to modify, update, or discontinue the Services or any part thereof, as necessary to maintain compliance with applicable law, improve service functionality, or for other business purposes. Any material changes to the core functionalities or scope of the Services that may impact Customer’s use of the Services will be communicated to Customer in advance, allowing for any necessary adjustments. Trint will provide notice at least 30 days prior to implementing any such material changes.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Trint may perform updates, modifications, or enhancements to the Services as needed for continued operation and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimise disruption to Customer's use of the Services
Trint reserves the right to enhance AI functionalities in the Services, provided that such enhancements do not diminish Customer’s data security or alter agreed service parameters without prior notice.
(a) As consideration for Customer’s use of the Services and, as applicable, the Professional Services, Customer agrees to pay the fees set forth in The Agreement (“Fees”), which Fees may be adjusted by Trint no later than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current Term to be effective on the date on which the renewal of such Term is effective (which adjustment shall not be considered an amendment to this Agreement). Fees will be billed at the period(s) specified in The Agreement and, along with reimbursements for expenses, if any, are due and payable in the currency designated therein within thirty (30) days of Customer’s receipt of an invoice. Paid Fees are non-refundable. Trint may charge a late fee equal to the greater of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount allowed under applicable law on unpaid Fees that are past due for more than thirty (30) days, until such Fees are paid in full. In addition, if any Fees are unpaid and outstanding for more than thirty (30) days after the date on which such payment is due, Trint may discontinue, terminate or suspend the Services, without incurring any liability to Customer. Despite any such discontinuation or suspension, Customer acknowledges and agrees it will be required to pay all Fees due and payable until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the termination provisions set forth herein. For Fees unpaid and outstanding for more than sixty (60) days after the date on which such Fees are due, Customer is responsible for, and agrees to pay, Trint’s reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including, but not limited to, court and attorneys’ fees and expenses. Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13(b) below for non-payment, Customer’s rights of access to and use of the Services may be re-instated upon Customer’s payment of all outstanding Fees. In such event, Trint may require reasonable credit guarantees before such re-instatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if Customer provides Trint with a credit card number for payment, Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees Trint may automatically bill Customer for all Fees if and as they become due pursuant hereto.
(b) All Fees are exclusive of taxes, duties, tariffs and other government-imposed charges, however designated, levied, or based (collectively, “Taxes”), and Customer agrees to pay Fees without deduction of any kind including, but not limited to, withholding taxes or VAT withholdings. All Taxes will be paid by Customer, excluding only Taxes on Trint’s net income. Applicable Taxes will be billed as a separate item on an invoice where practicable.
(a) Customer’s use of the Services shall be subject to the Services plan agreed by Customer as offered by Trint from time to time (each a “Plan”).
(b) Any Plan which Customer agrees in relation to the Services shall be governed by the terms of such Plan and these terms shall be incorporated into this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that each Plan may be subject to, amongst other things, a fair use policy which imposes a limit of fifty (50) hours per End User for which the Services may be used during each calendar month (the “Fair Use Policy”) unless otherwise specified. Such limit in the Fair Use Policy is applied to the Term in aggregate for (i) all calendar months during the Term; and (ii) across all End Users. No limit shall be applied by Trint during any particular calendar month and the Fair Use Policy shall be considered on the basis of such aggregate of the Term.
(c) Customer shall not be entitled either to any unused hours under a Fair Use Policy for any previous month nor any payment in lieu of any such unused hours.
(d) From time to time, the Customer may be entitled to purchase additional products, including the Bulk Hours Add-on, which increase the applicable limits under the relevant Fair Use Policy. The details of any such increases shall be advised to the Customer in relation to such additional products.
(e) Trint shall be entitled to enforce the terms of any Fair Use Policy at its sole discretion.
(f) Customer acknowledges that the Fair Use Policy shall not apply to each of Trint’s Realtime product and its Bulk Hours product Add-on. In the event that Customer elects to use either of these products, all restrictions or product-specific requirements which may be applicable to such products shall be as listed in Exhibit A.
(g) Trint agrees to provide information to Customer detailing any applicable Fair Use Policy which applies to the relevant Plan. Customer agrees that the terms of a Plan may be amended by Trint from time to time on prior notice to Customer.
(h) A Plan may include an option for Customer to purchase additional Services or parts of the Services as one of its features. Any such additions and the payments made with respect to them shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Customer shall:
(a) provide Trint with: (i) all necessary co-operation in relation to this Agreement; and (ii) all necessary access to such information as may be required by Trint, in order to provide the Services, including but not limited to Customer Information, security access information and configuration services.
(b) without affecting its other obligations under this Agreement, comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to its activities under this Agreement.
(c) carry out all other Customer responsibilities set out in this Agreement in a timely and efficient manner. In the event of any delays in Customer’s provision of such assistance as agreed by the parties, Trint may adjust any agreed timetable or delivery schedule as reasonably necessary.
(d) ensure that the End Users use the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any End User’s breach of this Agreement.
(e) obtain and shall maintain all necessary licences, consents, and permissions necessary for Trint, its contractors and agents to perform their obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation the Services.
(f) ensure that its network and systems comply with the relevant specifications provided by Trint from time to time; and
(g) be, to the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, solely responsible for procuring, maintaining and securing its network connections and telecommunications links from its systems to Trint’s data centres, and all problems, conditions, delays, delivery failures and all other loss or damage arising from or relating to Customer’s network connections or telecommunications links or caused by the internet.
(a) As between Trint and Customer, all software embedded in the Site and in the Services developed, owned or controlled by Trint and any modifications or improvements thereto (as applicable) (the “Software”), and the Services, are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of Trint. Customer agrees not to take any actions inconsistent with Trint’s ownership of any of Trint’s rights in and to the Software. Customer agrees that Customer will not, directly or indirectly: (i) assign, distribute, license, sublicense, transfer, sell, rent, lease, time share, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any rights in or to the Software, or make the Software available to third parties except as expressly authorized by this Agreement; (ii) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software for any purpose, including, without limitation, the creation of derivative works or similar products; (iii) upload, link to or post any portion of the Software on a bulletin board, intranet, extranet or web site; (iv) use or distribute the Software in violation of any applicable laws, regulations or export restrictions; (v) possess or use the Software in any format other than machine-readable format; (vi) use the rights granted under this Agreement to design, develop or distribute a commercial product or service that competes with the Services; (vii) access the Services for the purposes of monitoring their performance or availability or make available to any third party any analysis of the results of operation of any Services, including benchmarking results, or otherwise publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of the Services; (viii) use the Services to send or store infringing, obscene, threatening, harassing, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, including material harmful to children or violative of third party privacy rights, or to send or store malicious or harmful software code; (ix) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any component of the Services or its related systems and networks, or to attempt to circumvent, disable or disrupt any mechanism in the Services intended to limit use of such Services; (x) use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access Services and/or collect content for any purpose without Trint’s express written permission; (xi) perform or facilitate any act which, directly or indirectly, causes to be transmitted to, uploaded or downloaded by, the Services or any end user any software viruses, worms, Trojan horses, time bombs, trap doors or any other computer code, files or programs or repetitive requests for information designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment or to diminish the quality of, interfere with the performance of, or impair the functionality of, the Services; or (xii) remove, alter or obscure any proprietary or other notices contained in the Services. Trint reserves all rights in the Services not explicitly granted herein. If Customer uses the Services in any country within the European Union, the prohibitions set forth herein will not affect Customer’s rights under any legislation implementing the E.C. Council Directive on the Legal Protection of Computer Programs.
All content and data uploaded by Customer to the Trint Platform, including any outputs generated by Trint’s AI features, remain the intellectual property of the Customer, subject to any applicable fees and conditions within this Agreement. Trint does not claim ownership over Customer data or AI-generated outputs. However, Trint retains ownership of its proprietary AI models, algorithms, and associated processes used to generate such outputs. This Agreement grants Customer a non-exclusive, revocable licence to use the outputs generated by the Trint Platform solely for internal business purposes. The Customer’s use of the Trint Platform does not confer any rights, title, or interest in Trint’s underlying AI technology or intellectual property, which remain the exclusive property of Trint.
Trint’s AI Services are designed to operate in compliance with ethical AI standards, with ongoing monitoring for accuracy and security. Trint shall not store AI-generated outputs beyond service delivery or use them for external purposes.
(b) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, all improvements or modifications or updates to, enhancements of, derivative works made from, or suggestions, ideas and recommendations with respect to, the Services (each, an “Improvement”) are and will be owned by Trint regardless of which Party controls such Improvement. Promptly, Customer will provide to Trint a complete written disclosure for each Improvement which identifies the features or concepts which Customer believes to be new, unique or different. If any intellectual property rights associated with such Improvement fall within the definition of “work made for hire,” as such term is defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such intellectual property rights will be considered “work made for hire” and will be owned solely and exclusively by Trint. If any such intellectual property rights do not fall within such definition of “work made for hire,” then Customer hereby assigns, automatically assigns and upon the creation thereof will assign to Trint all of Customer’s right, title and interest in and to such Improvement and all intellectual property rights associated therewith, and such Improvement will be the sole and exclusive property of Trint. Both Parties agree to execute such documents as may be required to evidence such ownership and not to take any action inconsistent therewith. Trint has sole discretion as to whether to use or implement any such Improvement.
(c) To the extent the Services include AI Services, Customer acknowledges that AI-generated outputs resulting from Customer’s Content or input constitute Customer's IP. Any enhancements, algorithms, or improvements to Trint’s AI models or services (collectively, 'AI Innovations') arising during service provision shall remain the sole property of Trint, and Customer disclaims any ownership interest in such AI Innovations.
(a) Customer is and will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all Content (as defined herein); provided, however, Customer hereby grants to Trint: (i) a non-exclusive, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid up license to reproduce, display, create derivative works from and otherwise to use in any and all manners the Content to the extent required to provide the Services; and (ii) a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, fully-paid up, royalty-free license to use non-personally identifiable Content in aggregate and blinded formats that do not identify, reference or imply an association with, Customer or its Content, for the purposes of creating benchmarking, statistical, research and marketing analyses, surveys, reports, and studies. For purposes hereof, “Content” means and includes all content provided by Customer to Trint and/or is submitted by Customer to the Services hereunder, including, without limitation, audio files, video files, text, music, or other materials or metadata. Customer solely is responsible for the Content, including the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness thereof, and all consequences of submitting the Content to the Services. Customer acknowledges Trint does not and will not verify, endorse, review, monitor, manage, or screen Content for compliance with this Agreement or applicable laws, and Trint will have no obligation to do so; provided, however, Trint reserves the right to refuse, move, modify, or delete any Content and/or suspend the Services to the extent Trint determines, in good faith, that such suspension is necessary to comply with applicable law or to prevent significant harm to Trint or any third party without notice, penalty, or liability to Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees that after the thirtieth (30th) day following any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Trint has no obligation to retain the Content and may delete and destroy such Content without providing Customer with notice of such deletion.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Customer acknowledges and agrees Trint may archive certain Content and may disclose such Content if disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce its right under this Agreement; (iii) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of a third party; or (iv) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Trint, its users and/or the public.
Customer retains all rights, title, and interest in all content, data, and information (collectively, 'Customer Content') submitted to or processed by the Trint Platform. Trint’s rights to use Customer Content are strictly limited to those necessary to deliver the Services, and Trint shall not retain, share, or utilise Customer Content outside of service provision unless anonymised and aggregated in a non-identifiable format for benchmarking and quality assurance purposes. All proprietary rights in Customer Content remain with Customer, and nothing in this Agreement shall transfer ownership of Customer Content to Trint.
(a) Trint collects certain personal and business-related information about its customers and end users, which generally includes, but is not limited to, contact and other information inputted during account registration or during use of the Services, information which identifies application software; device and application IDs; communications to and from Trint; geographic location; and information related to usage of the Site and the Services (collectively, the “Customer Information”). Customer consents to Trint’s use and disclosure of such information solely in connection with: (a) Trint’s provision of the Service and enforcement of its rights hereunder; (b) Trint’s delivery to Customer of customer and technical support information and marketing communications; and (c) the creation of benchmarking, statistical, research and marketing analyses, surveys, reports and studies, but only in aggregate, blinded, non-personally identifiable formats that do not identify, reference or imply an association with Customer. For the purposes set forth in Section 5(c) hereof, Customer hereby grants to Trint a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, fully-paid up, royalty-free license. Subject to the foregoing, Customer Information will be considered Customer’s Confidential Information (as defined below).
(b) Customer shall own all right, title and interest in and to all of the Customer Information that is not personal data and shall have sole responsibility for the legality, reliability, integrity, accuracy and quality of all such Customer Information.
(c) Trint shall follow its archiving procedures for Customer Information as set out in its relevant policy, as such document may be amended by Trint in its sole discretion from time to time. In the event of any loss or damage to Customer Information, Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy against Trint shall be for Trint to use reasonable commercial endeavours to restore the lost or damaged Customer Information from the latest back-up of such Customer Information maintained by Trint in accordance with the archiving procedure described in its policy. Trint shall not be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of Customer Information caused by any third party (except those third parties sub-contracted by Trint to perform services related to Customer Information maintenance and back-up for which it shall remain fully liable under clause 5(w) below).
(d) Trint shall, in providing the Services, comply with its Privacy Policy relating to the privacy and security of the Customer Information available at Trint.com or such other website address as may be notified to Customer from time to time, as such document may be amended from time to time by Trint in its sole discretion.
(e) Both parties will comply with all applicable data protection and privacy legislation in force from time to time in the UK including the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679); the Data Protection Act 2018; the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive 2002/58/EC (as updated by Directive 2009/136/EC) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/2426) as amended (the “Data Protection Legislation”). This clause is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations or rights under the Data Protection Legislation.
(f) Customer consents to Trint’s processing of data solely to support AI Services as described within the terms of this Agreement. All AI-related data processing will occur within the EEA or designated locations with adequate protections under applicable data protection laws, and Trint will not retain, repurpose, or share any data processed through AI Services for external research or development outside the purposes of this Agreement.
The Services provided may involve AI-driven transcription, summarisation, or data analysis. Any data processed by Trint’s AI Services will not be retained for training or improvement purposes unless anonymised and aggregated in a non-identifiable form for internal performance benchmarking. Trint ensures that all processing complies with applicable privacy laws and does not retain Customer content in identifiable form beyond service delivery.
Trint implements industry-standard security practices for data processing and model integrity, ensuring that Customer data remains secure during and after AI processing. All data processed for AI purposes undergoes pseudonymisation or anonymisation, as applicable, to mitigate privacy risks. Customer data will not be used for model training, third-party disclosures, or marketing purposes without Customer’s explicit consent.
(g) Each of Customer and Trint acknowledge that: (i) if Trint processes any personal data on Customer’s behalf when performing its obligations under this Agreement, Customer is the controller and Trint is the processor for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation; (ii) the personal data may be transferred or stored outside the EEA or the country where Customer and the End Users are located in order to carry out the Services and Trint’s other obligations under this Agreement.
(h) Without prejudice to the generality of clause 5(e), Customer will ensure that it has all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the personal data to Trint for the duration and purposes of this Agreement so that Trint may lawfully use, process and transfer the personal data in accordance with this Agreement on Customer’s behalf.
(i) Without prejudice to the generality of clause 5(e), Trint shall, in relation to any personal data processed in connection with the performance by Trint of its obligations under this Agreement, process that personal data only on the documented written instructions of Customer unless Trint is required by the laws of any member of the European Union or by the laws of the European Union applicable to Trint and/or Domestic UK Law (where Domestic UK Law means the UK Data Protection Legislation and any other law that applies in the UK) to process personal data (Applicable Laws). Where Trint is relying on Applicable Laws as the basis for processing personal data, Trint shall promptly notify Customer of this before performing the processing required by the Applicable Laws unless those Applicable Laws prohibit Trint from so notifying Customer.
(j) Trint shall not transfer any personal data outside of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom unless appropriate safeguards are provided and Trint complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation in relation to the transfer.
(k) Trint shall assist Customer, at Customer’s cost, in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators.
(l) Each party shall ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures, reviewed and approved by the other party, to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting personal data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to personal data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it).
(m) Customer consents to Trint appointing such party as has been advised by Trint to Customer as a third-party processor of personal data under this Agreement. Trint confirms that it has entered or (as the case may be) will enter with the third-party processor into a written agreement incorporating terms which are substantially similar to those set out in this clause 5 and in either case which Trint undertakes reflect and will continue to reflect the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. As between Customer and Trint, Trint shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third-party processor appointed by it pursuant to this clause 5.
(n) Either party may, at any time on not less than 30 days’ notice, revise this clause 5 by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms forming part of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this Agreement).
(a) During the Term and during the three (3)-year period thereafter, each Receiving Party (as defined herein) agrees: (i) not to copy, disclose to third parties, or use the Disclosing Party’s (as defined herein) Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the performance of this Agreement; and (ii) protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care it exercises to protect its own Confidential Information (but in any event, with no less than a reasonable degree of care) to prevent the unauthorized, negligent, or inadvertent use, disclosure, or publication thereof. For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) that relates to such Disclosing Party and that reasonably should be known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary to the Disclosing Party under the circumstances of disclosure or in light of the nature of the information disclosed. Confidential Information will not include information that: (A) was publicly available, or that subsequently becomes publicly available, except by wrongful disclosure hereunder by the Receiving Party; (B) was in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to receipt of the same hereunder, as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s prior written records; (C) was received from a third party who was not known by the Receiving Party to be under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information or to have violated any applicable law; or (D) was independently developed by the Receiving Party as must be evidenced by written records created by such Receiving Party contemporaneously with such independent development. In the event that the Receiving Party becomes required by law, rule, regulation, judicial or administrative process to disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, prior to making such disclosure, to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, such Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice thereof, so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Subject to the license set forth in Section 4(a)(ii) above and Section 5(c) above, all of a Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information shall be returned or destroyed, as instructed by such Disclosing Party, upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
(b) Trint agrees to maintain industry standard administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the Content to the extent under its possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges Trint does not possess, own, or control the servers on which the Content is stored and agrees Trint is not responsible or liable for any deletion, correction, destruction, damage, loss or failure to store any Content thereon.
Trint treats all Customer data and content as Confidential Information, applying strict safeguards to protect it from unauthorised access. For any processing beyond service provision, data will be anonymised and aggregated to prevent re-identification, ensuring compliance with industry-leading security and privacy standards.
Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in Sections 3, 5, and 6 above are reasonably necessary for the protection of the other Party’s business and goodwill, and any breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of such terms, conditions or restrictions may cause such other Party substantial and irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone will not be adequate; and accordingly, notwithstanding Section 15 below, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, such other Party has the right to seek immediate injunctive relief and/or specific performance in a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.
(a) The Services interact with and process information provided through third party services and products. Any business relationship, exchange of data, or other interaction between Customer and a third party and/or any purchase, download or use by Customer of any product or service offered by a third party, is solely between Customer and such third party. While Trint may rely on data or information provided or generated by a third party’s products and services in the course of providing the Services, Customer hereby acknowledges that Trint does not make any representation, warranty or guarantee with respect to such third parties, their products or services, or the accuracy, reliability or completeness of any such data and information. Customer agrees Trint is not liable for any acts or omissions based on its reliance on such data and information or any loss or liability caused by such third parties.
(b) The Services may be provided with open source software. Customer’s use of such open source software in connection with the Services is subject to and governed by the terms of the applicable open source license. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable open source license(s), the open source software provided with the Services is provided “as is,” and without representation or warranty of any kind.
(c) The Site contains links to independent third party web sites. Such links are provided solely as a convenience to Customer. The linked sites are not under Trint’s control, and Trint is not responsible for the content of those sites.
(a) Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that: (i) its performance under this Agreement will not violate any applicable law; (ii) it is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation; (iii) it has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and (iv) this Agreement has been duly executed by its authorized representative and is legally binding upon it and enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(b) Customer represents and warrants to Trint that: (i) it owns, fully and outright, or otherwise possesses and maintains all rights, approvals, licenses, consents and permissions as are necessary to grant to Trint the licenses and rights hereunder; (ii) its use of the Content and the Services is and will at all times be: (A) in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; and (B) without infringement or misappropriation of any third party intellectual property or other rights; and (iii) Customer is not directly or indirectly (as an owner, strategic partner or otherwise) engaged in any business relationship or activity that competes with the Services.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying Party under this Section 12 is not required to fulfill its indemnification obligation hereunder if the indemnified Party fails to: (i) promptly notify such indemnifying Party of the action or claim, and such failure prejudices such indemnifying Party’s ability to fulfill its obligations hereunder; (ii) provide such indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance in its defense and settlement of such action or claim, at such indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense; and (iii) provide such indemnifying Party with the exclusive right to control and direct the defense of such action or claim; provided, however, such indemnifying Party may not settle an action or claim without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, unless such settlement: (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party(ies) from all liability arising out of such action or claim; and (B) is solely monetary in nature and does not include an admission of fault by such indemnified party(ies), any injunctive or equitable relief against such indemnified party(ies), or otherwise adversely affect such indemnified party(ies).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 12(c) above, Trint is not required to perform its indemnification obligations under Section 12(b) above to the extent a loss arises out of or is connected to: (i) Customer’s or its End User’s misuse or unauthorized use of the Services; (ii) Customer’s combination of the Services with any products, services, information, materials, technologies, business methods or processes not furnished or authorized by Trint; or (iii) Customer’s unauthorized manipulation, modification, or alteration of the Services. Upon the occurrence of any claim for which indemnity is or may be required under Section 12(b)above, or in the event that Trint believes that such a claim is likely, at its option, Trint may: (A) appropriately modify the infringing software so that it becomes non-infringing, or substitute functionally equivalent software; (B) obtain a license to the applicable third party intellectual property rights in order to stop or avoid such infringement; or (C) if neither (A) nor (B) are feasible, terminate Customer’s use of the Services and provide Customer with a refund of any prepaid Fees. This Section 12 sets forth Trint’s sole liability, and Customer’s sole remedy, for a claim related to the cause of action underlying Trint’s indemnification obligation under Section 12(b) above.
