c. For sales into the European Union and United Kingdom, this MAP Policy does not prohibit you from offering Customers discounts or communicating to customers that the Final Price could differ from the Advertised Price.

You are fully responsible for meeting any applicable obligations when contacting Respondents and processing their data.
k) Compliance with our requests

l) Third Party Provision of Artificial Intelligence Functionality
In order to provide the Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionality we require the collaboration of Open AI. You hereby acknowledge that Open AI is not an affiliate, partner, agent or representative to us. We do not make any guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind to you regarding the availability of the Open AI service that supports the AI functionality. We disclaim any liability for any third-party IP, including their accuracy, integrity, quality, legality, usefulness or safety, or any intellectual property rights therein. The availability of any third-party IP does not imply our endorsement or affiliation with any provider of such third-party IP and does not create any legal relationship between such provider and you.
You are solely responsible for your use of all aspects of the Services that leverage technology provided by Open AI, and any losses or liabilities of any kind associated with that use. You shall comply with all rights, obligations, conditions, policies, laws and regulations pertaining to such third-party IP. You shall defend us, indemnify us and hold us harmless from and against any and all losses, settlements, damages, liabilities, judgments, obligations, fines or sanctions, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (collectively “Losses”), arising out of any claim, proceeding, demand, suit or action (collectively “Actions”) brought by a third party related to your use of the Services that leverages functionality provided by Open AI.
We do not have access to your Open AI API keys. Once integrated, Your API keys from the Open AI API are encrypted immediately using encryption protocols that conform with industry best practices. This measure is designed to help protect your API keys and ensures that they are securely stored and transmitted.
By using Writehand, you agree as well to comply with all Open AI terms and conditions, which can be found here, respectively, including any restrictions on use contained therein. You acknowledge that data you provide to Open AI through the Services may be used to train and improve their Generative Artificial Intelligence systems, including the GPT 4 model. Our systems have been designed however to ensure data submitted to our forms is not used for model training purposes as it is processed via the OpenAI API, which has been declared by OpenAI as a route that bypasses their model training.
5. Fees and payments
Payment for the Services shall be subject to the following payment terms and conditions:
a. Fees
Your use of the Services is conditional upon your payment of all fees when they fall due. All fees for paid subscriptions are invoiced in advance, with monthly or annual frequency, depending on the subscription period chosen, unless otherwise provided for in an Order Form or Statement of Work executed by the parties. Fees may be subject to change from time to time. New charges will be levied following the provision of written notice to you via the Site, Services and/or email. By continuing to use the Services following any fee increase you shall thereby be bound by the new or increased charges. You agree and acknowledge that fees will be billed to the credit card we have on file for your account and credit or debit card is the payment method to be used absent written agreement with You to the contrary. Fees will be billed to the credit card we have on file. You agree to provide us with accurate and complete billing information (name, address, credit card information, and phone number) and notify us of any changes within 7 calendar days of the change.
Payments are processed by Stripe, our designated payment processor that has attained certification to PCI Level 1. This means we are not permitted to access or store Your payment information in any form. You agree and acknowledge that by providing your credit or debit card you are authorizing the charging of the card provided on a recurring basis to collect all Fees due. Updating of payment method details is Your sole responsibility and you must ensure details are accurate, complete and up-to-date. You acknowledge that failure to do so may lead to suspension or termination of your account.
b. Certain Fees may not be cancelled
Some Subscription Services require a minimum subscription period during which cancellation shall not be effected by You. Fees for minimum subscription commitments will continue to be automatically applied to your bill until the minimum commitment period has ended.
c. No Increase in Fees

You hereby indemnify Us for all Claims related to Taxes that are associated with your activities using the Services, including any Taxes associated with Your transactions with customers as further outlined below.

If you are required to deduct or withhold any tax, you must pay the amount deducted or withheld as required by law and pay us an additional amount so that we receive payment in full as if there were no deduction or withholding.

In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you agree to reimburse us for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorney fees and other legal expenses.
f. Disputes concerning payments
You are required to provide us with written notification within forty-five (45) days of the date we bill you for any invoiced Fees or charges that you wish to dispute.

i. Requirement for Continued Validity of Payment Method
Where a change in payment information is provided to us by your credit card company, such provider may provide us with updated payment details, which we will then use to ensure you continue to have access to the Services. You hereby authorize us to continue charging your card for the Subscription Fees as they fall due using the updated information. In the event of payment failure, we reserve the right to retry the card we have on file. If a payment is not successfully authorized because of expiration, insufficient funds or otherwise we may suspend or terminate your subscription to the Services.

k. Upgrade of Subscription
If you purchase a given subscription tier and reach the usage limits for that tier, you may wish to upgrade to a higher tier. Should you avail yourself of the upgrade functionality in the Services you acknowledge this represents express authorization from you to charge your account the difference between your current subscription charge and the subscription tier you are upgrading to, prorated to the remaining days of your Subscription Period. The paid subscription tier you have upgraded to will then be billed for on a monthly recurring basis.

Your account will be terminated should you fail to rectify a substantive breach of these Terms for a period greater than 14 days, following the provision of breach notification to you.

We will provide you with notice of non-payment of any amount due. Unless the full amount has been paid, we may suspend your access to any or all of the Services ten (10) days after such notice.

In order to provide the Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionality we require the collaboration of Open AI. You hereby acknowledge that Open AI is not an affiliate, partner, agent or representative to us. We do not make any guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind to you regarding the availability of the Open AI service that supports the AI functionality. We disclaim any liability for any third-party IP, including their accuracy, integrity, quality, legality, usefulness or safety, or any intellectual property rights therein. The availability of any third-party IP does not imply our endorsement or affiliation with any provider of such third-party IP and does not create any legal relationship between such provider and you.
You are solely responsible for your use of all aspects of the Services that leverage technology provided by Open AI, and any losses or liabilities of any kind associated with that use. You shall comply with all rights, obligations, conditions, policies, laws and regulations pertaining to such third-party IP.

We do not have access to your Open AI API keys. Once integrated, Your API keys from the Open AI API are encrypted immediately using encryption protocols that conform with industry best practices. This measure is designed to help protect your API keys and ensures that they are securely stored and transmitted.

Our systems have been designed however to ensure data submitted to our forms is not used for model training purposes as it is processed via the OpenAI API, which has been declared by OpenAI as a route that bypasses their model training.
5. Fees and payments
Payment for the Services shall be subject to the following payment terms and conditions:

All fees for paid subscriptions are invoiced in advance, with monthly or annual frequency, depending on the subscription period chosen, unless otherwise provided for in an Order Form or Statement of Work executed by the parties. Fees may be subject to change from time to time. New charges will be levied following the provision of written notice to you via the Site, Services and/or email. By continuing to use the Services following any fee increase you shall thereby be bound by the new or increased charges.

Fees will be billed to the credit card we have on file.

This means we are not permitted to access or store Your payment information in any form. You agree and acknowledge that by providing your credit or debit card you are authorizing the charging of the card provided on a recurring basis to collect all Fees due. Updating of payment method details is Your sole responsibility and you must ensure details are accurate, complete and up-to-date. You acknowledge that failure to do so may lead to suspension or termination of your account.
b. Certain Fees may not be cancelled
Some Subscription Services require a minimum subscription period during which cancellation shall not be effected by You. Fees for minimum subscription commitments will continue to be automatically applied to your bill until the minimum commitment period has ended.
c. No Increase in Fees

You hereby indemnify Us for all Claims related to Taxes that are associated with your activities using the Services, including any Taxes associated with Your transactions with customers as further outlined below.

i. Requirement for Continued Validity of Payment Method
Where a change in payment information is provided to us by your credit card company, such provider may provide us with updated payment details, which we will then use to ensure you continue to have access to the Services. You hereby authorize us to continue charging your card for the Subscription Fees as they fall due using the updated information. In the event of payment failure, we reserve the right to retry the card we have on file. If a payment is not successfully authorized because of expiration, insufficient funds or otherwise we may suspend or terminate your subscription to the Services.

If you purchase a given subscription tier and reach the usage limits for that tier, you may wish to upgrade to a higher tier. Should you avail yourself of the upgrade functionality in the Services you acknowledge this represents express authorization from you to charge your account the difference between your current subscription charge and the subscription tier you are upgrading to, prorated to the remaining days of your Subscription Period. The paid subscription tier you have upgraded to will then be billed for on a monthly recurring basis.
