For the avoidance of any doubt, under no circumstances may any Roboteer Party be liable for any claims of any kind and nature that may be asserted, granted, or imposed against, directly or indirectly, arising from, or in connection with, your Content, your failure to comply with the Agreement or use of your account.

These limitations and exclusions apply even if this remedy doesn't fully compensate you for any losses and even if Roboteer knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages or the likelihood of their occurrence.

4.3 Indemnification

You will indemnify any Roboteer Party, defend, and hold them harmless, against any losses, damages, fines and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of, or relating to any claims based on, (i) your, and your users' use or attempted use of the Services in violation of the Agreement; (ii) your violation of the applicable law or rights of any third party; (iii) your Content, including without limitation any claim of infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or other proprietary rights;

5. Termination

5.1 Term

The Agreement is effective from the date when you start using the Services until terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

5.2 Termination for convenience

You may stop using the Services and terminate your account at any time, however this will not relieve you of any obligation to pay any outstanding fees (if applicable). We may change or discontinue, or terminate your use of, the free Services at any time. In respect of paid Services, we will provide you with 60 days’ notice in advance.

5.3 Material termination

We may immediately, and without notice, terminate, suspend your right to use and access the Services, or delete your account, if: (i) we have a reasonable suspicion that you have breached or attempted to breach this Agreement or the applicable law; (ii) provision of the Services is deemed unlawful or infringes any third-party right; (iii) if applicable, you fail to pay the Services fees in due time.

5.4 Intellectual property with respect to termination

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Customer will have no rights to, and shall cease all use of, the Intellectual Property. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that all rights, title, and interest in and to any work product, deliverables, or other materials provided or created by Roboteer in connection with the Services shall remain with Roboteer, and the Customer shall not have any rights to such materials except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

6. Downtime

6.1 Unavailability

From time to time, our Services may experience downtime temporarily due to changes on the system on which they operate, or for others reasons. We cannot accept any liability for any downtime, will not be able to carry out the Service processes manually ourselves and will not be able to provide refunds for any downtime. We will endeavour to make changes to the Service to adapt to any updates on the systems on which they operate as fast as possible.

6.2 Manual fallbacks

During periods of unavailability, it may be necessary for you to revert to manual processing of the work that the Service usually performs. It is important that you maintain good knowledge of the manual process and also have staff available to perform these processes manually in order to do this until the Service is functioning again.

6.3 Permanent unavailability

In some instances, third-party platforms or services that our Services depend on may implement changes, updates, or policies that could render it impossible for us to continue providing our Services. Such changes are beyond our control and may result in the immediate cessation of our Services. In the event that our Services are stopped due to third-party changes, we may not be able to offer alternative solutions, nor can we provide refunds for any remaining subscription period. It is important to acknowledge that the continuity of our Services is often linked to the stability and policies of third-party platforms, and disruptions caused by these external factors are a recognised risk of using our Services.

7. Intellectual Property

All software, process diagrams, and other intellectual property created, used, or provided by Roboteer in the course of providing the Services (collectively, the "Intellectual Property") remain the exclusive property of Roboteer. This includes all rights, title, and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, including all related intellectual property rights. No rights or licenses are granted to the Customer under this Agreement, except for the limited right to use the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

8. Changes and Upgrades

8.1 Changes or upgrades within the original scope

Any changes or upgrades that are necessary to keep the Service functioning in line with the original specification in the Process Definition Document (for example, changes on the target system that the Service runs on, or changes in an API we interact with) are provided at no extra cost.

8.2 Changes or upgrades outside of the original scope during trial period

As standard, Roboteer offers a trial period during which the customer can test the Services free of charge for a fixed duration. During this trial period Roboteer will typically support changes and updates to the scope of the Service at no additional cost while the Service is refined. However, it is important to note that there may be instances where the Customer's request for changes or upgrades are considered extraordinarily onerous by Roboteer. In such cases, Roboteer reserves the right, at their sole discretion, to charge a labour cost for the extra work required. This cost is set at £50 per hour.

We encourage our customers to discuss any potential changes or upgrades with us so we can assess the potential impact and discuss any additional costs.

8.3 Changes or upgrades outside of the original scope after the end of the trial period

Changes or upgrades to the Service outside of the original scope and outside of the trial period are subject to additional costs. This cost is set at £50 per hour. Roboteer will provide a quotation for the change required to be approved by You prior to implementation.

9. Price Adjustment

Roboteer retains the authority to annually adjust the cost of the Service, in alignment with the Retail Price Index (RPI) in the United Kingdom. This authority is retained for potential future exigencies and is not an automatic yearly increase.

10. Email Sending

In instances where Roboteer sends email on behalf of a client as part of the functionalities of the Service provided, Roboteer shall employ industry best practices and tools to enhance email deliverability and ensure optimal display upon receipt. Where feasible, Roboteer shall send emails from the client's domain and manage the send rates to minimise the likelihood of emails being classified as spam. Notwithstanding these efforts, due to the variability of email clients and browsers, Roboteer cannot guarantee a specific threshold for the proportion of emails that may be marked as spam. Furthermore, while Roboteer will endeavour to optimise emails for proper rendering across a wide range of email clients and browsers, uniform appearance across all platforms cannot be assured.
