These Customer Terms (“Terms”) are between Bonsai Robotics Inc, dba Bonsai, a Delaware corporation with registered address at 3141 Stevens Creek Blvd #41458, San Jose, CA 95113 (“Bonsai”) and the Customer identified in the Order (“Customer”). By executing a sales order that references these Terms or otherwise accessing or using the Services (as defined below) (a “Sales Order” or “Order”), Customer agrees to these Terms. If the individual accepting these Terms is accepting on behalf of a company or other legal entity, such individual represents that they have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to these terms and conditions, in which case the term “Customer” shall refer to such entity and its affiliates. If the individual accepting these Terms does not have such authority, or does not agree with these terms and conditions, such individual must not accept these Terms and may not access the Services. These Terms are effective between Bonsai and Customer as of the date of Customer’s acceptance of these Terms (the “Effective Date”).

Fees are exclusive of all Taxes.
11. Warranties and Disclaimers.
11.1 Limited Warranty.

11.2 Warranty Remedy. If Bonsai breaches the Performance Warranty during the applicable Performance Warranty Period and Customer makes a reasonably detailed warranty claim in the manner required by Bonsai within 30 days of discovering a breach of the Performance Warranty for the applicable Service(s), then Bonsai will use reasonable efforts to correct the non-conformity. If Bonsai cannot correct the non-conformity within 30 days of receipt of Customer’s warranty claim, then Customer may (a) terminate the affected Sales Order as it relates to the non-conforming Service, and (b) if warranty claim was related to Services, Bonsai will then refund to Customer any pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the applicable subscription for the balance of the Subscription Term, and (c) if warranty claim was related to Professional Services, then Bonsai will refund to Customer relevant fees paid for such non-conforming Professional Service. This Section sets forth Customer’s exclusive remedy and Bonsai’s entire liability for breach of the Performance Warranty. This warranty does not apply to the extent: (w) issues caused by Customer’s or Users’ misuse of or unauthorized modifications to the applicable Service; (x) issues in or caused by Third-Party Platforms, the Equipment (or other third-party systems); (y) use of the applicable Service other than according to the Documentation; or (z) free or evaluation use.
11.3 General Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.1 (LIMITED WARRANTY), THE SERVICES, SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES, AND ALL OTHER BONSAI PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”. BONSAI, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS, MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. BONSAI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT BONSAI WILL REVIEW CUSTOMER DATA FOR ACCURACY, OR THAT IT WILL MAINTAIN CUSTOMER DATA WITHOUT LOSS. BONSAI IS NOT LIABLE FOR DELAYS, FAILURES, OR PROBLEMS INHERENT IN USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHER SYSTEMS OUTSIDE BONSAI’S CONTROL. CUSTOMER MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS, BUT ANY STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES WILL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST LEGALLY PERMITTED PERIOD.
11.4 Disclaimers Related to Artificial Intelligence. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, and notwithstanding anything otherwise expressly provided herein, Bonsai disclaims any and all liability related to the following:
(a) Use of AI; Assumption of Risk. The Analytics Services may return inaccurate information that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts. The Services do not provide any medical, health, safety, legal, financial, tax, accounting, or other professional advice. Prior to any use of the Automation Services, Customer and its Users will make their own determinations as to the safety, efficacy, accuracy, lawfulness, and appropriateness of the Automation Services for any given use. Customer understands that it is responsible to monitor Automation Services and Customer is ultimately responsible for all activities of the Automation Services to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (a) artificial intelligence tools are novel and experimental, and that therefore there is significant uncertainty regarding the operation of such tools, (b) Autonomy Services delivered are not fully autonomous and require human supervision and human intervention from time to time, and (c) Service performance depends on factors that may be out of the control of the provider, including environmental conditions (dust, light, terrain, weather, crop density) which can be unpredictable, and Bonsai cannot and does not warrant error free obstacle detection or navigation. CUSTOMER’S AND ITS USERS’ USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT CUSTOMER’S SOLE RISK AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE RISKS IN RUNNING AUTONOMY SYSTEMS WHICH ARE NOT FAIL PROOF.
(b) Regulatory Uncertainty. Artificial intelligence and autonomy are subject to many legal and regulatory uncertainties, and the Services could be adversely impacted by one or more regulatory or legal inquiries, actions, suits, investigations, claims, fines or judgments, which could impede or limit Customer’s ability to continue the use and enjoyment of the Services.
11.5 Equipment Disclaimer. BONSAI MAKES NO WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR CUSTOMER’S USE OF, OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO, THE EQUIPMENT.
12. Term and Termination.
12.1 Term. The term of these Terms (the “Term”) starts on the Effective Date and continues until expiration or termination of all Subscription Terms.

Either party may terminate these Terms (including any or all Sales Orders) if: (a) the other party fails to cure a material breach of these Terms (including a failure to pay fees) within 30 days after notice; (b) the other party ceases operation without a successor; (c) the other party seeks protection under a bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors’ arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or if such a proceeding is instituted against that party and not dismissed within 60 days; or (d) in accordance with any termination rights otherwise agreed by the parties herein.
12.3 Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of a Sales Order, Customer’s access to and Bonsai’s obligations to provide the Services described in the Sales Order and any Software will cease.

After that 30 day period, Bonsai will be under no obligation to store or retain the applicable Customer Data and may delete the applicable Customer Data at any time in its sole discretion.

Neither party grants the other any rights or licenses not expressly set out in these Terms. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, as between the parties, Customer retains all intellectual property rights and other rights in Customer Data provided to Bonsai.

The indemnified party may participate in a claim with its own counsel at its own expense.
15.4 Mitigation.

Bonsai’s Confidential Information includes the terms and conditions of these Terms and any technical or performance information about the Services. Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Data.
16.2 Obligations. As Recipient, each party will: (a) hold Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose it to third parties except as permitted in these Terms, including Section 5.2 (Use of Customer Data); and (b) only use Confidential Information to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights in these Terms. At Discloser’s request, Recipient will delete all Confidential Information, except, in the case where Bonsai is the Recipient, Bonsai may retain the Customer’s Confidential Information to the extent required to continue to provide the Services. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors, and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Bonsai, the subcontractors referenced in Section 19.10), provided it remains responsible for their compliance with this Section 16 and they are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section 16.
16.3 Exclusions. These confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that Recipient can document: (a) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party; (b) it rightfully knew or possessed prior to receipt under these Terms; (c) it rightfully received from a third party without breach of confidentiality obligations; or (d) it independently developed without using Confidential Information.

17. Required Disclosures.
Nothing in these Terms prohibits either party from making disclosures, including of Customer Data and other Confidential Information, if required by Law, subpoena, or court order, provided (if permitted by Law) it notifies the other party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment.
