Last Updated February 14, 2020

Heartbeat Ai Technologies Inc. provides high-performance text emotion analytics tools for people-centric companies.

This website (“Site”) and platform (“Platform”) is operated by Heartbeat Ai Technologies Inc. It is available at: www.heartbeatai.com and may be available through other addresses, subdomains or channels

Terms of Use

Please read these Terms of Service (“User Terms”) carefully, as they contain information about your legal rights, remedies, and obligations. By accessing or using the Heartbeat Website or Platform (the “Services”), these User Terms apply to you.

These User Terms are a legally binding contract between you and us. If you access or use the Services, or continue accessing or using the Services after being notified of a change to the User Terms or the Privacy Policy, you confirm that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by the User Terms and the Privacy Policy. “We”, “our”, and “us” refers to Heartbeat Ai Technologies Inc. (“Heartbeat”), “You”, and “yours” refers to “Authorized User”.

Authorized Users

An organization or other third party that we refer to in these User Terms as “Client” has invited you to use the Services. For example, if you have been invited by your employer, Client is your employer. 

Client has entered into a separate written agreement with us (the “Contract”) which permits Client to configure and offer the Services to you and others (each an “Authorized User”). If you are both Client and an Authorized User, then both the Contract and these User Terms apply to you.

The Contract contains our commitment to deliver the Services to Client, who may then invite Authorized Users to participate in the Services. When an Authorized User (including you) submits text or other information to the Services (“Client Data”), they acknowledge and agree that the Client Data is owned by Client and Client has permitted us to use, modify, and aggregate Client Data for the purpose of providing the Services (“Aggregated Information”) and further, that we will own the Aggregated Information. While the Aggregated Information will include information derived from your use of the Services, your Client Data will not be individually identifiable.

The Relationship between You, Client, and Us

AS BETWEEN US AND CLIENT, YOU AGREE THAT IT IS SOLELY CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO (A) INFORM YOU AND ANY AUTHORIZED USERS OF ANY RELEVANT CLIENT POLICIES AND PRACTICES AND ANY SERVICES CONFIGURATION WHICH MAY IMPACT THE PROCESSING OF CLIENT DATA; (B) OBTAIN ANY RIGHTS, PERMISSIONS OR CONSENTS FROM YOU AND ANY AUTHORIZED USERS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THE LAWFUL USE OF CLIENT DATA AND THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES; (C) ENSURE THAT THE TRANSFER AND PROCESSING OF Client DATA UNDER THE CONTRACT IS LAWFUL; AND (D) RESPOND TO AND RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH YOU AND ANY AUTHORIZED USER RELATING TO OR BASED ON Client DATA, THE SERVICES OR Client’S FAILURE TO FULFILL THESE OBLIGATIONS. 

Disclaimer

ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND HEARTBEAT HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND HEARTBEAT SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED CONDITIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, HEARTBEAT MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE SERVICES, OR ANY PRODUCTS OR RESULTS OF THE USE THEREOF, WILL MEET CLIENT'S OR ANY OTHER PERSON'S REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY SOFTWARE, SYSTEM OR OTHER SERVICES EXCEPT IF AND TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE SPECIFICATIONS, OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, FREE OF HARMFUL CODE OR ERROR FREE. ALL THIRD PARTY MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF OR CONCERNING ANY THIRD PARTY MATERIALS IS STRICTLY BETWEEN Client AND THE THIRD-PARTY OWNER OR DISTRIBUTOR OF THE THIRD PARTY MATERIALS.

The Basics

All Authorized Users must agree to our Privacy Policy (https://www.heartbeatai.com/privacy-policy). You are here at the pleasure of Client (and us), and these User Terms remain effective until Client’s Contract with us expires or terminates, or your access to the Services is terminated by Client or us. As between you and us, you are under no obligation to use the Services and, while these User Terms remain in effect, you may discontinue use at any time and for any reason. 

Limitation of Liability

If we believe there is a violation of the Contract, User Terms, Privacy Policy, or any other of our policies which can simply be remedied by Client’s removal of certain Client Data or taking other action, we will, in most cases, ask Client to take action rather than intervene. We may take what we determine to be appropriate action if Client does not take appropriate action or we believe there is a credible risk of harm to us, the Services, Authorized users, or any third parties. You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Services will remain with you. IN NO EVENT WILL YOU OR WE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THESE USER TERMS, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, IMMEDIATE OR CONSEQUENTIAL, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND DO NOT LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S RIGHT TO SEEK AND OBTAIN EQUITABLE RELIEF.

Terminating these terms

These Terms are effective until terminated by us, which we may do at any time and without notice to you. In the event of termination, all restrictions imposed on you by these Terms and limitations of liability set out in these Terms will survive.

Survival

The sections titled “The Relationship Between You, Client, and Us”, “Limitation of Liability”, and “Survival”, and all of the provisions under the general heading “General Provisions” will survive any termination or expiration of the User Terms.
