Subscriber acknowledges that voice transcription may contain errors and is responsible for reviewing transcripts for accuracy.

5.5 Authentication for External Participants

External Participants may access Sessions via one-time passcode (OTP) sent by email or SMS, magic link, or optional credential-based authentication.

6. DATA OWNERSHIP; PRIVACY; TRAINING; ANONYMIZATION

6.1 Ownership of Customer Data

As between Subscriber and Trailmate, Subscriber retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data. Trailmate does not claim any ownership rights in Customer Data. Subscriber is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, legality, and appropriateness of Customer Data.

6.2 License to Process Customer Data

Subscriber grants Trailmate a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, process, transmit, display, reproduce, and create non-production copies of Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, support, and improve the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

Subscriber represents that it has obtained all necessary consents and authorizations from its clients and other External Participants for the collection, use, and processing of their information through the Services.

6.4 Aggregated and Anonymized Usage Data

Trailmate may collect, aggregate, anonymize, and use Usage Data and other service-related metrics for purposes of operating, maintaining, analyzing, securing, and improving the Services, as well as for marketing, research, benchmarking, and other business purposes. Such aggregated and anonymized data will not identify Subscriber, its Authorized Users, its clients, or any other individuals, and may include information such as: average Session completion times, task completion rates, usage patterns, feature adoption statistics, and other operational metrics. Trailmate may publicly disclose such aggregated, de-identified statistics (e.g., "on average, discovery intake Sessions are completed in 3 days") without identifying Subscriber or its clients.

6.5 Prohibition on Model Training with Customer Data

Trailmate will not use Customer Data to train, develop, or improve its foundational artificial intelligence models, large language models, or other general-purpose machine learning systems. This prohibition does not restrict Trailmate's use of anonymized or aggregated Usage Data as described in Section 6.4, or Trailmate's ability to improve the Services' operational performance, user interface, or service-specific workflows.

6.6 Attorney-Client Privileged Information

Subscriber may upload or transmit attorney-client privileged information, attorney work product, and other confidential legal materials through the Services. Subscriber retains full control over what information is shared through the Services and is solely responsible for maintaining and preserving privilege and confidentiality. Trailmate will treat all Customer Data as confidential in accordance with Section 7 and will not disclose Customer Data to third parties except as expressly permitted under this Agreement or required by law.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1 Definition of Confidential Information

"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by one party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other party (the "Receiving Party") that is marked as confidential or proprietary, or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, Customer Data, business plans, technical information, product roadmaps, pricing, security practices, and the terms of this Agreement. The Services and Documentation constitute Trailmate's Confidential Information.

7.2 Protection Obligations

The Receiving Party agrees to: (a) protect the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care; (b) not use Confidential Information except as necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (c) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party except to employees, contractors, advisors, and agents who have a legitimate need to know and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this Agreement.

7.3 Exceptions

The obligations in Section 7.2 do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; (b) was rightfully in the Receiving Party's possession prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by written records; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or use of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, as evidenced by written records; or (d) is rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of any confidentiality obligation.

7.4 Compelled Disclosure

If the Receiving Party is legally compelled by court order, subpoena, or governmental authority to disclose Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permissible, promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing to enable the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. The Receiving Party shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party's efforts to obtain such protection and shall disclose only the minimum Confidential Information required by the legal process.

8. SECURITY

8.1 Security Standards

Trailmate will implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate, industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Data against accidental loss, theft, unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. Such safeguards include, but are not limited to: secure data encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and authentication mechanisms, network security measures, regular security assessments, incident response procedures, and employee training on data security practices.

8.2 No Absolute Security

Subscriber acknowledges that no security system is impenetrable and that Trailmate cannot guarantee that Customer Data will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Trailmate's obligation is to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards, not to ensure that unauthorized access or security incidents cannot occur.

8.3 Security Incident Notification

In the event that Trailmate becomes aware of any unauthorized access to or disclosure of Customer Data that compromises the security or privacy of such data (a "Security Incident"), Trailmate will: (a) notify Subscriber without unreasonable delay; (b) investigate the Security Incident; (c) take reasonable steps to mitigate the impact and prevent further unauthorized access; and (d) cooperate with Subscriber's reasonable requests for information regarding the Security Incident, subject to legal and regulatory constraints.

8.4 Subscriber's Security Responsibilities

Subscriber is responsible for: (a) properly configuring and utilizing security features made available through the Services, including role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and user permissions; (b) ensuring that Authorized Users follow security best practices, including maintaining the confidentiality of passwords and authentication credentials; (c) promptly provisioning and de-provisioning users to reflect changes in employment or access requirements; and (d) monitoring access logs and usage patterns to detect unauthorized or suspicious activity.

9.1 Third-Party Integrations

The Services may include integrations or connections with third-party case management systems, cloud storage providers, telephony and SMS services, electronic signature platforms, and other external services (collectively, "Third-Party Services"). Subscriber may, at its option and in its sole discretion, enable such integrations to facilitate data exchange between the Services and Third-Party Services.

9.2 No Responsibility for Third-Party Services

Trailmate is not responsible or liable for the availability, performance, security practices, data handling, terms of service, or privacy policies of any Third-Party Services. Any data exchanged with or transmitted to Third-Party Services is at Subscriber's direction and risk. Subscriber's use of Third-Party Services is governed by the applicable third party's terms and conditions, and Subscriber is solely responsible for reviewing and complying with such terms.

9.3 No Endorsement; Modifications

Trailmate does not endorse or guarantee any Third-Party Services. Trailmate reserves the right to add, modify, suspend, or remove integrations with Third-Party Services at any time and without prior notice. Trailmate does not guarantee the availability or continued support of any specific integration or Third-Party Service.

9.4 Data Sourcing and Synchronization

Where integrations require Subscriber to retrieve, provide, or synchronize contact information, matter data, or other information from Third-Party Services, Subscriber is solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of such data. Trailmate relies on Subscriber to configure and maintain data flows and is not responsible for data loss, corruption, or synchronization failures arising from Third-Party Services.

10. FEES; BILLING; TAXES; NON-PAYMENT; CHANGES

10.1 Pricing

The fees for the Services are specified in: (a) the Sales Order executed by the parties, which governs the subscription plan, term, pricing, and payment terms; or (b) for subscriptions purchased through Trailmate's website without a Sales Order ("Online Plans"), the pricing, plan features, and subscription term displayed at the time of checkout and confirmed in Subscriber's account dashboard and confirmation email.

10.2 Billing and Payment Terms

Unless otherwise specified in a Sales Order, fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis as selected by Subscriber. Subscriber agrees to pay all fees by the payment method designated in Subscriber's account. All fees are due upon receipt of invoice or on the billing date specified in Subscriber's account settings. Subscriber authorizes Trailmate (or its third-party payment processor) to charge the designated payment method for all fees due.

10.3 Automatic Renewal

Subscriber's subscription will automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal in length to the initial term (e.g., monthly subscriptions renew monthly; annual subscriptions renew annually) unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal in accordance with Section 11.3, or unless Subscriber cancels the subscription through the administrative console prior to the end of the then-current term.

10.4 Overages and Upgrades

If Subscriber's plan includes limitations on the number of users, matters, Sessions, or other usage metrics, and Subscriber exceeds such limits, Trailmate may charge additional fees for such overages or may require Subscriber to upgrade to a higher-tier plan. Fees for plan upgrades or overages will be charged on a pro-rata basis for the remainder of the current billing term. Subscriber may upgrade its plan at any time through the administrative console or by contacting Trailmate.

10.5 Downgrades and Refunds

Subscriber may downgrade to a lower-tier plan at any time, effective as of the next renewal date. Fees paid for the current term are non-refundable, and no credits or refunds will be issued for downgrades, except as expressly required by law. Partial-month or partial-year refunds are not provided. Credits for plan upgrades may be applied at Trailmate's discretion.

10.6 Taxes

All fees stated are exclusive of applicable federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, levies, duties, and similar governmental assessments (collectively, "Taxes"). Subscriber is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchase and use of the Services, excluding only taxes based on Trailmate's net income. If Trailmate is required to collect or pay Taxes, such Taxes will be invoiced to Subscriber and Subscriber shall pay such amounts unless Subscriber provides Trailmate with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

10.7 Late Payments and Suspension

Late payments shall accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, from the date payment was due until the date payment is received. If any amount owed by Subscriber is more than thirty (30) days overdue, Trailmate may, upon written notice to Subscriber and provision of a ten (10) day cure period, suspend Subscriber's access to the Services until all overdue amounts and accrued interest are paid in full. Suspension of access does not relieve Subscriber of its payment obligations, and Trailmate may continue to invoice Subscriber during any suspension period. Trailmate may also pursue other remedies available at law or in equity.

10.8 Fee Changes

Trailmate reserves the right to modify its fees and pricing for the Services at any time. Fee changes for existing subscriptions will not take effect until the next renewal term. Trailmate will provide Subscriber with at least thirty (30) days' advance written notice of any fee increase. If Subscriber objects to a fee increase, Subscriber may elect not to renew in accordance with Section 11.3.

11. TERM; TERMINATION; SUSPENSION; POST-TERMINATION

11.1 Term

This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues for the initial subscription term specified in the Sales Order or Online Plan (the "Initial Term").

Subscriber agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Trailmate and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Trailmate Indemnitees") from and against any and all third-party claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) (collectively, "Losses") arising out of or related to:

(a) Customer Data, including any allegation that Customer Data, or Trailmate's hosting, storage, processing, or transmission of Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property or proprietary right of any third party, or violates any third party's privacy, publicity, or other rights;

(b) Subscriber's or its users' use or misuse of the Services in violation of this Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law, including violations of professional responsibility rules or ethical obligations;

(c) Subscriber's failure to obtain required consents, authorizations, or permissions from clients, witnesses, or other third parties for the collection, use, or disclosure of their information through the Services;

Trailmate agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Subscriber and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Subscriber Indemnitees") from and against any and all Losses arising out of or related to any third-party claim that the Services, when used in accordance with this Agreement, infringe or misappropriate any patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secret of a third party.

14.3 Exclusions from Trailmate's Indemnification

Trailmate's indemnification obligations under Section 14.2 do not apply to any claim arising from or related to: (a) Customer Data; (b) modifications to the Services made by Subscriber or at Subscriber's direction; (c) use of the Services in combination with third-party services, software, or data not provided by Trailmate; (d) Subscriber's use of the Services in violation of this Agreement or applicable law; or (e) Subscriber's continued use of the Services after Trailmate has notified Subscriber of the alleged infringement and provided alternative non-infringing functionality.

14.4 Indemnification Procedure

The indemnified party (the "Indemnitee") shall: (a) promptly notify the indemnifying party (the "Indemnitor") in writing of any claim for which indemnification is sought; (b) grant the Indemnitor sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim, provided that the Indemnitor may not enter into any settlement that imposes any obligation on the Indemnitee or admits fault on behalf of the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (c) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor's expense, in the defense and settlement of such claim. Failure to provide prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations except to the extent the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such delay.

14.5 Sole Remedy

THIS SECTION 14 SETS FORTH THE INDEMNITOR'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION, AND THE INDEMNITEE'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, WITH RESPECT TO THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND RELATED MATTERS.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; GOVERNING LAW; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

15.1 Governing Law

This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

15.2 Good Faith Negotiation and Mediation

Prior to initiating arbitration or litigation, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement through direct negotiation between senior executives of each party. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the initiating party's written notice describing the dispute, either party may demand non-binding mediation by providing written notice to the other party. The parties shall mutually select a mediator and shall participate in mediation in good faith. Mediation shall be conducted in California at a mutually agreeable location. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses associated with mediation, and the parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the mediator.

15.3 Binding Arbitration

If the dispute is not resolved through mediation within sixty (60) days of the demand for mediation (or such longer period as the parties mutually agree), either party may initiate binding arbitration by providing written notice to the other party. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, that is not resolved through mediation shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or if JAMS is unavailable, by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties cannot agree within thirty (30) days, appointed by JAMS or AAA. The arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California, and conducted in the English language. The arbitrator's decision and award shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including but not limited to equitable relief. Discovery shall be permitted to the extent necessary for the fair resolution of the dispute, as determined by the arbitrator in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules.

15.4 Costs and Fees

Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees incurred in connection with mediation and arbitration, except that the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party if permitted by applicable law. The parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the administering organization.

15.5 Class Action Waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. NEITHER PARTY MAY PARTICIPATE IN OR BE REPRESENTED IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION (SECTION 15.3) SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.

15.6 Injunctive Relief

Notwithstanding the foregoing dispute resolution procedures, either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its Confidential Information, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary interests pending the completion of arbitration. Such action shall not constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

15.7 Small Claims Court

Notwithstanding the foregoing dispute resolution procedures, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in the county where Subscriber is located or where the claim arose, provided that the claim falls within the jurisdictional limits of such court and is brought and maintained as an individual action.

15.8 Informal Dispute Resolution Before Legal Action

Subscriber agrees to contact Trailmate's legal department at [info@trailmate.com] before initiating any formal legal proceeding (including arbitration or litigation) to allow Trailmate an opportunity to resolve the dispute informally. Subscriber must provide a written description of the dispute, the relief sought, and any supporting documentation. Trailmate will respond within thirty (30) days.

16. MODIFICATIONS TO THE AGREEMENT; NOTICES

16.1 Modifications to Terms of Service

Material changes will be effective thirty (30) days after notice is provided, or such longer period as specified in the notice (the "Notice Period").

Subscriber's continued use of the Services after the effective date of the modified Agreement constitutes Subscriber's acceptance of the changes. If Subscriber objects to any material modification that substantially and adversely affects Subscriber's rights under this Agreement, and the parties are unable to resolve the objection during the Notice Period, Subscriber may elect not to renew this Agreement at the end of the then-current term in accordance with Section 11.3. Such non-renewal is Subscriber's sole remedy for objecting to a modification.

(b) Identification of the intellectual property claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;

(c) Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit Trailmate to locate the material (e.g., Session ID, matter ID, document URL);

(d) Contact information for the complaining party, including name, address, telephone number, and email address;

(e) A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law; and

17.5 Counter-Notification

If Subscriber believes that material removed or disabled by Trailmate was removed or disabled in error or misidentification, Subscriber may provide a counter-notification to Trailmate's designated agent containing the information specified in applicable law (e.g., 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) for copyright claims).

18.1 Use of Names and Logos

Neither party may use the other party's name, trademarks, service marks, logos, or other proprietary identifiers in any marketing materials, press releases, advertisements, customer lists, case studies, or other promotional materials without the prior written consent of the other party.

18.2 Anonymous Usage Information

Notwithstanding Section 18.1, Trailmate may disclose aggregated, de-identified, and anonymized usage statistics and operational metrics derived from the Services for marketing, research, benchmarking, and promotional purposes, provided that such disclosures do not identify Subscriber, its Authorized Users, its clients, or any other individuals.

Such statements may be included in marketing materials, presentations, blog posts, case studies, and other promotional content.

18.3 Aggregated Industry Insights

Trailmate may publicly share aggregated insights, trends, and benchmarking data derived from anonymized Usage Data across multiple customers, provided that such information cannot reasonably be used to identify any individual customer, user, or client.

19. ASSIGNMENT; FORCE MAJEURE; MISCELLANEOUS

19.1 Assignment

Subscriber may not assign, transfer, delegate, or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Trailmate, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign this Agreement without consent to a successor in interest in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or equity, provided that the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Trailmate may assign this Agreement to any affiliate or in connection with any merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or business. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 19.1 is void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

19.2 Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement (except for payment obligations) to the extent such failure or delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, strikes, epidemics, pandemics, government actions, power outages, internet service provider failures, denial-of-service attacks, and other similar events ("Force Majeure Event").

19.3 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving its intent, or if such modification is not possible, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

19.4 Waiver

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver. A party's failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that party's rights to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision.

19.5 Entire Agreement

19.6 Interpretation

The headings and captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. The terms "including," "includes," "include," and similar terms shall be deemed to mean "including without limitation" and shall not be construed to limit any general statement preceding such term.

This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction against the party causing the Agreement to be drafted.

19.7 Independent Contractors

The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or franchise relationship between the parties.

19.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly set forth herein (e.g., the Trailmate Indemnitees and Subscriber Indemnitees in Section 14), this Agreement does not and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
