We reserve the right to change our prices at any time. For existing Subscriptions, price changes will take effect at the start of the next billing period following notice of the price change. We will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any price increases. Your continued use of the Services after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new price. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your Subscription before the change takes effect.

10.5 Taxes

You are responsible for paying all taxes associated with your use of the Services, including sales tax, use tax, value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), and any other applicable taxes in your jurisdiction. If we are required to collect or pay taxes on your behalf, such taxes will be added to your invoice. You agree to provide us with any tax identification numbers or exemption certificates that may be required.

10.6 Refunds

Except as required by applicable law or as expressly set forth in these Terms, all Fees are non-refundable. This includes Subscription fees that have already been charged, regardless of whether you use the Services for the full billing period. If you believe you have been charged in error, please contact our support team within thirty (30) days of the charge, and we will review your request.

10.7 Late Payments and Suspension

If any payment is not received by the due date, we may: (a) charge interest on the overdue amount at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; (b) suspend your access to paid features of the Services until payment is received; (c) downgrade your Account to a free tier; or (d) terminate your Account in accordance with Section 12. We will provide reasonable notice before suspending or terminating your Account for non-payment.

10.8 Free Tier Limitations

The free tier of the Services is provided at our discretion and may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time without notice. Free tier accounts may have reduced resource allocations, limited features, and may be subject to additional restrictions. We reserve the right to require users of the free tier to upgrade to a paid Subscription to continue using the Services.

CONNIC WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO YOU ON AN ECONOMICALLY REASONABLE BASIS WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.

11.5 Jurisdiction-Specific Limitations

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, Connic's liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Suspension and Termination

12.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your Account and these Terms at any time by: (a) canceling your Subscription through your Account settings; (b) contacting our support team to request Account closure; or (c) simply ceasing to use the Services. If you have a paid Subscription, cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, and you will not receive a refund for any remaining time in the period. Upon termination, you should export any User Content you wish to retain, as Connic may delete your User Content in accordance with Section 12.5.

12.2 Termination by Connic

Connic may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to:

• Breach of these Terms, including the Acceptable Use Policy
• Failure to pay applicable Fees when due
• Requests by law enforcement, government agencies, or court orders
• Unexpected technical or security issues or problems
• Extended periods of inactivity
• Engagement in fraudulent or illegal activities
• Discontinuation of the Services or any part thereof

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of termination, except where: (a) we are prohibited by law from doing so; (b) notification would compromise an investigation; or (c) immediate action is necessary to protect the Platform, other users, or third parties.

12.3 Suspension

As an alternative to termination, Connic may suspend your Account or specific Deployments if we reasonably believe that: (a) you have violated these Terms; (b) your Account has been compromised; (c) your usage poses a security risk to the Platform or other users; or (d) suspension is necessary to comply with legal requirements. During suspension, you may not be able to access some or all of the Services, but your User Content will be preserved. We will endeavor to resolve the issue causing the suspension and restore your access as soon as reasonably possible.

12.4 Effect of Termination

Upon termination of your Account or these Terms:

• Your right to access and use the Services will immediately cease
• All licenses granted to you under these Terms will immediately terminate
• You remain liable for all Fees incurred prior to termination
• Any provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including but not limited to Sections 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15

12.5 Data Retention and Deletion

Following termination of your Account, Connic may retain your User Content for a limited period (typically thirty (30) days) to allow for Account recovery if termination was unintentional or for compliance with legal obligations. After this period, we may delete your User Content from our active systems. However, you acknowledge that: (a) copies of your User Content may persist in backup systems for a reasonable period; (b) we are not obligated to delete User Content that has been shared with other users or made public; and (c) certain information may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes, such as fraud prevention and record-keeping.

12.6 Export of User Content

Prior to termination, you are responsible for exporting any User Content that you wish to retain. We may provide tools or APIs to facilitate data export, but we are not obligated to do so. After termination and the expiration of any retention period, we have no obligation to maintain or provide access to your User Content.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

13.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Connic is established, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

13.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact us at legal@connic.co and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email within sixty (60) days. If the dispute is not resolved within that time, either party may proceed with formal dispute resolution as provided in this Section.

13.3 Arbitration Agreement

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by a recognized arbitration institution in accordance with its rules then in effect. The place of arbitration shall be the jurisdiction in which Connic is established. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding on all parties.

YOU AND CONNIC AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and Connic each waive any right to a jury trial.

13.4 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

13.5 Time Limitation

Any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or it will be forever barred. This limitation applies regardless of the nature of the claim.

14. Changes to These Terms

We will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice before material changes take effect, except where shorter notice is required by law or is necessary for security reasons.

14.3 Acceptance of Changes

Your continued access to or use of the Services after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services and may terminate your Account as provided in Section 12. We encourage you to periodically review these Terms to stay informed of any changes.

15.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms 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 the intent of the parties, or if such modification is not possible, such provision shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms.

15.3 Waiver

No waiver of any term or condition of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. Any failure of Connic to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Connic's prior written consent.

These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you and Connic. No third party shall have any right to enforce any provision of these Terms.
