1. The Visual Search Platform Service.

a. The Service is composed of an object detection engine, object recognition engine and content-based image retrieval engine which allows Company to detect and identify specified objects within a target query image and search a set of indexed images to receive list of similar looking images.

b. As used herein, “Content” means all content, data or information in any form that is uploaded to the Service by Company or on Company’s behalf.

2. Access to the Service. Access to Company’s Service account(s) shall be limited by use of username(s) and password(s) selected by Company. Company is responsible for all activity occurring in Company’s Account(s).

3. Company’s Obligations.

a. Restrictions on Use. Company covenants that it will not (i) use the Service in any illegal or unlawful manner or for any illegal or unlawful purpose or (ii) perform any act which interferes with or disrupts the Service or infringes upon the rights of any third party. Pcsso will not review or screen Content on a regular basis for compliance with this Agreement or applicable law, and Pcsso shall have no obligation to do so, provided, however, that in addition to any other right Pcsso may have, Pcsso reserves the right to suspend Company’s access to and/or use of the Service to the extent that Pcsso determines, in good faith, that such suspension is necessary to comply with applicable law, the rights of any third party or to prevent significant harm to any end user or the Service.

b. Obligation to Pay. Company shall pay Pcsso all fees included in any applicable Order, in accordance with the payment terms set forth in said Order.

Company shall be responsible for and shall pay any applicable taxes or duties applicable to Company’s Order (except for taxes on Pcsso’s income). All payments shall be made without deduction for withholding taxes. Late payments may be subject to fees at the rate of 1.5% per month. If Company fails to pay applicable fees when payment is due, then in addition to any other rights Pcsso may have, Pcsso shall have the right to suspend delivery of all or a portion of the Service to Company. Company shall pay Pcsso’s reasonable costs of collection, including any attorneys’ fees related thereto.

The Initial Term and each Renewal Term are collectively referred to as the “Term” of this Agreement. The “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the date specified in Company’s Order or, if such Order was submitted online, the date Company submits the online Order.
