HumanSignal has developed and makes available SaaS-based data labeling tools (collectively, the “HumanSignal Product”).

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, YOU SHOULD NOT INDICATE YOUR AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS AND YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE HUMANSIGNAL PRODUCT.

In these Terms, “Customer” will refer to you. If you are registering to use the HumanSignal Product on behalf of an entity or other organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that entity or organization and representing to HumanSignal that you have the authority to bind that entity or organization to these Terms (in which case, the term “Customer” will refer to that entity or organization).

“Authorized User” means Customer's employees, consultants, contractors, and agents (i) who are authorized by Customer to access and use the HumanSignal Product under the rights granted to Customer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) for whom access to the HumanSignal Product has been purchased hereunder.

“Confidential Information” means any information or data disclosed by either party that is marked or otherwise designated as confidential or proprietary or that should otherwise be reasonably understood to be confidential in light of the nature of the information and the circumstances surrounding disclosure. However, “Confidential Information” will not include any information which (a) is available to the public through no fault of receiving party; (b) was properly known to receiving party, without restriction, prior to disclosure by the disclosing party; (c) was properly disclosed to receiving party, without restriction, by another person with the legal authority to do so; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

“Non-HumanSignal Product” means a third party or Customer web-based, mobile, offline or other software application that integrates with the HumanSignal Product (other than third party data hosting services used by HumanSignal). For clarity, the HumanSignal Product excludes Non-HumanSignal Products.

“Order Form” means an order form or order page (including any online order form or order page) that sets forth the specific HumanSignal Product, applicable payment plan therefor (including in relation to overages), permitted number of user seats, trial period (if applicable) and subscription term, and that references these Terms.

HumanSignal may also Process Usage Data that has been aggregated and/or anonymized (including, for clarity, that does not allow a third party to identify Customer as the source of the information): (i) to develop new services and features and (ii) to promote HumanSignal’s services, including, for example, through analyses of patterns and trends. HumanSignal’s Processing of Usage Data, Customer Data, and Account Data shall always be subject to HumanSignal’s obligations under this Agreement, including those of security and confidentiality.

Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will be binding on Customer and its successors and assigns.
  3. Waiver. No waiver of any rights hereunder will be effective unless assented to in writing by both parties. Any such waiver will be only to the specific provision and under the specific circumstances for which it was given, and will not apply with respect to any repeated or continued violation of the same provision or any other provision. Failure or delay by either party to enforce any provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

Neither party will have the authority to obligate or bind the other in any manner, and nothing herein contained will give rise or is intended to give rise to any rights of any kind to any third parties.

These Terms comprise the entire agreement between Customer and HumanSignal with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous proposals, statements, sales materials or presentations and agreements (oral and written).

  12. Changes. HumanSignal may revise these Terms from time to time. If HumanSignal does revise these Terms, the revised Terms will supersede prior versions. Unless HumanSignal says otherwise, revisions will be effective upon the effective date indicated at the top of these Terms, and Customer’s continued access or use of the HumanSignal Product constitutes Customer’s acceptance of any revisions, provided that if Customer has purchased a paid subscription to a HumanSignal Product, then such revisions will be effective with respect to that paid subscription at the next renewal of the applicable subscription term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless Customer elects not to renew as set forth herein. HumanSignal will provide Customer advance notice of any material revisions. This notice will be provided via the account portal and/or via an email to the email address HumanSignal has on file. For other revisions, HumanSignal will update the effective date of these Terms at the top of the page. HumanSignal encourages Customer to check the effective date of these Terms whenever Customer visits HumanSignal’s website. If Customer does not agree to the revisions, Customer should stop using the HumanSignal Product (and, in the case of a paid subscription, elect not to renew such subscription as set forth herein).
