These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the website at www.stipulex.com, including its pages, interactive demo, forms and any content we make available there (together, the "Site"). The Site is operated by Stipulex, Inc. ("Stipulex," "we," "us" or "our").
By using the Site you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
These Terms cover the marketing Site only. Stipulex is developing contract analysis software (the "Product"). Access to the Product, when it launches, will be governed by a separate customer agreement, and nothing in these Terms grants any right to use the Product.
1. Who We Are
Stipulex, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Redwood City, California.
Registered address: 8 The Green, Suite B, Dover, Delaware 19901. Contact: terms@stipulex.com
2. Eligibility
The Site is intended for business professionals. You may use the Site only if you are at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" includes that organization.
3. What the Site Is and Is Not
The Site is a marketing website. It describes the Product, lets you request a demo, and lets you contact us. It does not provide the Product itself.
The interactive demo uses synthetic contracts. The demo plays back pre-built analyses of fictional sample contracts that ship with the Site. The demo does not read, store, transmit or analyze anything you type, and the Site has no way to upload a document. The sample contracts, the parties named in them and the analyses shown are invented for illustration. Any resemblance to a real agreement, company or person is coincidental.
Stipulex is not a law firm. Stipulex does not provide legal advice or legal representation and is not licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction. Nothing on the Site, in the demo, or in any email or message from us is legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created by using the Site or contacting us. The analyses shown in the demo are illustrations of what software can produce; they are not opinions about any real contract and must not be relied on for any real decision. Consult a licensed attorney before making a legal or business decision about a contract.
Product descriptions are forward-looking. Statements on the Site about how the Product will work, including statements about in-memory processing, a Contract Vault, encryption, or how customer documents will be handled, describe design intentions for software that has not launched. They are not promises about a product you can use today and are not part of any contract for the Product.
4. Permitted Use
You may view the Site, use the demo, request a demo and contact us for your own informational and business purposes.
You agree not to:
- use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or these Terms;
- submit false, misleading or third-party contact information, or request a demo on behalf of someone who has not asked you to;
- send unsolicited commercial messages, spam or abusive content through the contact form;
- use bots, scrapers, crawlers or other automated means to access the Site, submit its forms or extract its content, other than search engines indexing public pages in the ordinary way;
- probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Site, bypass rate limits or other protective measures, or interfere with its operation;
- copy, reproduce, republish, frame or create derivative works from the Site's content, the demo, or the sample contracts and analyses, except as Section 5 allows;
- reverse engineer or attempt to extract the methodology, models, scoring logic or data behind the demo's analyses;
- remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice;
- use the Site to build, train or improve a competing product or a machine learning model.
We may suspend or block access to the Site, and may decline or delete a demo request or contact message, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.
5. Intellectual Property
Our content. The Site and everything on it, including text, design, graphics, code, the demo, the sample contracts, the analyses and reports shown in the demo, and the methods, scoring logic and presentation formats behind them, are owned by Stipulex or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret and other laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Limited license. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the Site for the purposes described in Section 4. You may print or save a copy of a page for your personal or internal business reference, provided you keep all proprietary notices intact.
Trademarks. "Stipulex," the Stipulex logo, and the names of Product features shown on the Site are trademarks of Stipulex, Inc.
Third-party content. Fonts, libraries and other third-party materials used on the Site remain the property of their owners and are used under their licenses.
Copyright complaints. If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice that satisfies 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to terms@stipulex.com with the subject line "Copyright notice."
6. Demo Requests and Communications
When you request a demo, we send one confirmation email. If you confirm within 7 days, we keep your address so we can email you once when the Product is available. We do not add you to a newsletter or marketing list. You can withdraw at any time by replying to any email we send or writing to privacy@stipulex.com. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
A demo request is an expression of interest only. It does not create an obligation on either side, does not reserve pricing or capacity, and does not guarantee that a demo or the Product will be offered to you.
When you contact us, please do not send confidential information, including the text of a real contract. See Section 7.
7. Feedback and Submissions
Anything you send us through the contact form or by email, other than the personal information covered by the Privacy Policy, is non-confidential. If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback about the Site or the Product ("Feedback"), you grant Stipulex a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify and incorporate the Feedback for any purpose without obligation to you. We do not want to receive confidential or proprietary information from you through the Site, and we are not responsible for protecting anything sent to us that way.
8. Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may link to websites and services we do not control. We provide those links for convenience only. We do not endorse them, are not responsible for their content, availability or practices, and your use of them is subject to their own terms and policies.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SITE, THE DEMO AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STIPULEX DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE ABOVE, STIPULEX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE; THAT THE DEMO'S ANALYSES ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR APPLICABLE TO ANY REAL CONTRACT OR JURISDICTION; OR THAT THE PRODUCT WILL LAUNCH, OR WILL HAVE ANY FEATURE DESCRIBED ON THE SITE.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STIPULEX AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STIPULEX'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).
THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE WHERE APPLICABLE LAW SO PROVIDES.
California residents. You waive California Civil Code § 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Stipulex and its officers, directors, employees, contractors and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party in connection with the Site, or (c) information you submit through the Site that you did not have the right to submit. We may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with us.
12. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to Section 13, the state and federal courts located in San Mateo County, California have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose law gives you rights that cannot be waived, nothing in this section takes those rights away.
13. Dispute Resolution
Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to send a written description of the dispute to terms@stipulex.com, and we agree to do the same to the email address you provide, so that the parties can try to resolve it informally within 30 days.
Mediation. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, either party may request non-binding mediation administered by JAMS in San Francisco, California, with costs shared equally.
Arbitration. If mediation does not resolve the dispute within 60 days of the mediation request, the dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules before a single arbitrator in San Francisco, California. The arbitrator may award any relief a court could award to the individual party, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.
Class action waiver. Disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. You and Stipulex waive the right to bring or participate in any class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will be decided in court under Section 12 rather than in arbitration.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this Section 13 by emailing terms@stipulex.com with the subject line "Arbitration opt-out" within 30 days of first using the Site. Opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.
14. Changes to the Site and These Terms
We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, post a notice on the Site for at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Site after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Site.
15. General
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Stipulex about the Site and replace any earlier understanding.
Severability. If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the unenforceable part will be modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets.
No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms create no rights in anyone other than you and Stipulex, except the indemnified parties in Section 11.
Export and sanctions. You may not use the Site in violation of United States export control or sanctions law.
Notices. Notices to Stipulex must be sent to terms@stipulex.com or to the address in Section 1. We may send notices to you at the email address you provided or by posting on the Site.
Survival. Sections 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 survive any termination of your access to the Site.
