2. Contracting Entity

The Service is operated jointly by Argus AI Group LLC and Argus AI Group UK Ltd. The identity of the Argus entity with which you contract is determined as follows:

Each Argus entity is solely responsible for its own obligations under these Terms in respect of the Customers it contracts with. No Argus entity is liable for the acts, omissions, or obligations of any other Argus entity. Where these Terms refer to "Argus", "we", "our", or "us", such reference is to be read as referring only to the contracting entity for the relevant Customer, except where the context expressly requires otherwise.

Argus may, at its sole discretion and on written notice, novate or assign the Customer's contract from one Argus entity to another, provided that the substantive terms of these Terms remain unchanged.

3. Acceptance and Eligibility

By creating an Account, accessing, or using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18 years old; (b) you have full legal capacity and authority to enter into a binding contract; (c) if you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, partnership, firm, or other legal entity, you have the authority to bind that entity, and "Customer" shall refer to that entity; (d) you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country subject to comprehensive sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or the United States of America, and you are not listed on any restricted persons or sanctions list; and (e) your use of the Service will at all times comply with these Terms and all Applicable Law.

Argus reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to provide the Service to any person or entity, to terminate any Account, and to change eligibility criteria at any time.

4. Description of the Service

The Service is an automated and AI-assisted analytical tool that scans publicly available content posted to X (formerly Twitter) and produces Output that may include, without limitation: indicators, classifications, risk signals, sentiment scores, thematic tags, summaries, and flagged content references relating to the public posting history of one or more Subjects.

Nature of Output. The Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that all Output is generated by automated and machine-learning processes; is probabilistic, indicative, and inherently subject to error, false positives, false negatives, omission, and misclassification; reflects only content that is publicly accessible at the time of scanning and may not reflect deleted, restricted, edited, or subsequently posted content; does not constitute any statement of fact, conclusion, professional opinion, judgement, recommendation, or advice; and must be independently verified, contextualised, and corroborated by the Customer before being relied upon for any purpose whatsoever.

No Professional Advice. The Service does not provide, and Output does not constitute, legal, regulatory, compliance, financial, investment, tax, medical, psychological, employment, human resources, due diligence, credit, insurance, or any other form of professional advice. The Customer must consult appropriately qualified professionals in connection with any decision informed in whole or in part by the Output.

Service Evolution. Argus may at any time and without notice modify, enhance, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any feature, functionality, model, methodology, scoring approach, data source, or other aspect of the Service. Argus does not warrant that the Service or any specific feature will remain available or unchanged.

5. Account Registration and Security

To use the Service, you must register for an Account and provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are solely responsible for: (a) maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials; (b) all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not authorised by you; and (c) immediately notifying Argus of any unauthorised access, security breach, or compromise of your Account.

Argus is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations. You shall not share, transfer, sub-license, resell, or otherwise make your Account available to any third party except as expressly permitted by Argus in writing.

6. Subscriptions, Fees and Payment

Access to the Service is provided on a subscription basis at the fees set out on the Service's pricing page or in any applicable order form. By selecting a Subscription, you authorise Argus (and its payment processors) to charge the applicable fees to your designated payment method on a recurring basis until the Subscription is cancelled in accordance with these Terms.

All fees are stated exclusive of taxes, duties, and similar levies, which the Customer is responsible for paying. Fees are non-refundable except where required by Applicable Law or expressly stated otherwise. Argus may change its fees at any time, with such changes taking effect for the Customer at the start of the next billing cycle following written notice (which may be given by email or through the Service).

If any payment is not received when due, Argus may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies, suspend or terminate the Customer's access to the Service and charge interest on overdue amounts at the rate of 4% per annum above the Bank of England base rate (for contracts with Argus AI Group UK Ltd) or the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is lower (for contracts with Argus AI Group LLC).

Free trials, promotional credits, or beta access may be offered at Argus' sole discretion and may be modified or withdrawn at any time without notice.

7. Acceptable Use

The Customer is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and use the Service solely for the Customer's lawful internal business purposes and strictly in accordance with these Terms.

The Customer shall:

  1. use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all Applicable Law, including Data Protection Laws, anti-discrimination laws, employment laws, defamation laws, and the terms of service of any Third-Party Services;
  2. maintain a lawful basis (and, where required, a documented legitimate interests assessment, data protection impact assessment, or equivalent) for any processing of personal data carried out via the Service;
  3. be solely responsible for determining whether the Service is suitable, lawful, and appropriate for the Customer's intended use; and
  4. implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect any Output the Customer downloads, stores, or shares.

8. Prohibited Uses

The Customer shall not, and shall not permit any third party to, use the Service:

Any breach of this Section 8 constitutes a material breach of these Terms and entitles Argus to suspend or terminate the Customer's access to the Service immediately and without refund, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Argus.

9. Customer Responsibilities and Compliance

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Customer alone is responsible for: (a) the lawfulness of its purposes for using the Service; (b) the consequences of any decision, action, communication, or inaction taken on the basis of, or informed by, any Output; (c) verifying, contextualising, and corroborating any Output before relying on it; (d) obtaining all necessary consents, authorisations, or other lawful bases required under Data Protection Laws or any other Applicable Law in respect of any Subject; (e) providing any required notices to Subjects, where applicable; (f) ensuring that any onward disclosure of Output to clients, employees, agents, or other third parties is lawful, contractually permitted, and accompanied by appropriate caveats as to the nature, limitations, and risks of the Output; and (g) complying with all sanctions, export control, and trade compliance laws applicable to the Customer's use of the Service.

The Customer represents and warrants on a continuing basis that each of the foregoing obligations is and will remain satisfied throughout the Customer's use of the Service.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on, integrates with, or accesses content from Third-Party Services. Argus does not control such Third-Party Services and makes no representation or warranty in respect of their availability, accuracy, completeness, security, or terms. The Customer's use of any Third-Party Service may be subject to that third party's own terms and policies, and the Customer is responsible for complying with the same.

Argus shall not be liable for any failure, interruption, error, change, suspension, or termination of any Third-Party Service, nor for any consequences of the foregoing on the Service or on the Customer.

11. Intellectual Property Rights

As between the parties, all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, code, models, prompts, scoring methodologies, classifications, taxonomies, user interfaces, designs, documentation, and any improvements, enhancements, or derivative works thereof, and all intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Argus and its licensors. No rights are granted to the Customer except as expressly set out in these Terms.

Output. Subject to the Customer's compliance with these Terms and full payment of all fees, Argus grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide licence to use Output for the Customer's lawful internal business purposes and, where the Customer is providing professional services to a specific named end-client, to share Output with that named end-client provided that the Customer remains responsible for such end-client's compliance with these Terms.

Customer Data. The Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data. The Customer grants Argus a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, host, copy, transmit, and process Customer Data solely as necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service and to comply with Applicable Law.

Aggregated Data. Argus may collect, generate, and use aggregated, anonymised, or de-identified data derived from use of the Service for any lawful purpose, including improving the Service, training and evaluating models, benchmarking, and producing analytics, provided that such data does not identify the Customer or any natural person.

Feedback. Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas the Customer provides regarding the Service may be used by Argus without restriction or compensation.

12. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential, and not to disclose or use other than for the purposes of these Terms, any Confidential Information of the other party. This obligation does not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was lawfully in the receiving party's possession before disclosure; (c) is independently developed without reference to Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law or court order, provided that the receiving party gives reasonable prior notice (where lawful) to the disclosing party. The obligations in this Section 12 survive termination of these Terms for a period of five (5) years.

13. Data Protection and Privacy

Both parties shall comply with their respective obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws. The roles and responsibilities of the parties in respect of personal data are described in the Argus Privacy Policy, available at argusgroup.ai, and (where applicable) any Data Processing Addendum entered into between the parties, which together with these Terms govern such processing.

The Customer acknowledges that, where the Customer instructs the Service to analyse content relating to identifiable natural persons, the Customer is acting as the controller (or equivalent) of any such processing initiated by it, and the Customer shall be solely responsible for: (a) establishing and documenting the lawful basis for such processing; (b) carrying out any required data protection impact assessment, legitimate interests assessment, or transfer impact assessment; (c) responding to data subject rights requests addressed to the Customer; and (d) maintaining all required records under Data Protection Laws.

Argus shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect Customer Data against unauthorised access, loss, or destruction, but does not guarantee the absolute security of any system.

14. Disclaimers and No Warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. ARGUS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

Without limiting the foregoing, Argus does not warrant that: (a) Output will be accurate, complete, current, or free from error, bias, or omission; (b) the Service will identify all relevant content or correctly classify any content; (c) the Service will be available continuously or without interruption; (d) any defect or error in the Service will be corrected; or (e) any Third-Party Service will continue to be available or compatible with the Service.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or conditions; in such jurisdictions, the foregoing exclusions apply only to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Applicable Law, including (in respect of contracts with Argus AI Group UK Ltd) liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

(a) In no event shall Argus, its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, or licensors be liable to the Customer or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages whatsoever, including (without limitation) loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, loss of opportunity, reputational harm, business interruption, claims by third parties, or the cost of substitute services, regardless of the form of action and even if Argus has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

(b) The total cumulative liability of Argus arising out of or in connection with these Terms and the Service, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, misrepresentation, restitution, or otherwise, shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the total fees actually paid by the Customer to Argus under these Terms in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (ii) one thousand pounds sterling (£1,000) or one thousand United States dollars ($1,000), as applicable to the contracting Argus entity.

(c) Argus shall have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, claim, cost, expense, fine, penalty, sanction, or harm arising out of or in connection with: (i) any decision, action, omission, communication, or inaction by the Customer or any third party that relies on, references, or is informed by Output; (ii) any defamation, harassment, discrimination, breach of privacy, breach of Data Protection Laws, or other claim by any Subject or any third party arising from the Customer's use of the Service or Output; (iii) any failure of, change to, or unavailability of any Third-Party Service; (iv) any inaccuracy, incompleteness, error, or omission in any publicly available content scanned by the Service; or (v) any unauthorised access to the Customer's Account caused by the Customer's failure to safeguard credentials.

The limitations and exclusions in this Section 15 apply to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law and reflect the fundamental allocation of risk between the parties on which these Terms and the fees payable hereunder are based. The Customer acknowledges that the fees payable for the Service would be substantially higher were Argus to assume any greater liability.

16. Indemnification

The Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Argus, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) arising out of or in connection with: (a) the Customer's use of the Service; (b) the Customer's breach of these Terms or any representation, warranty, or covenant herein; (c) the Customer's violation of any Applicable Law, including Data Protection Laws, anti-discrimination laws, employment laws, or defamation laws; (d) the Customer's violation of any rights of any third party, including any Subject; (e) any decision, action, communication, or inaction taken by the Customer (or by any third party to whom the Customer has disclosed Output) on the basis of, or informed by, Output; or (f) the Customer's onward disclosure of Output to any third party.

Argus shall: (i) promptly notify the Customer of any claim subject to indemnification (provided that any failure to notify shall not relieve the Customer of its obligations except to the extent the Customer is materially prejudiced thereby); (ii) provide the Customer with reasonable cooperation in the defence of such claim, at the Customer's expense; and (iii) allow the Customer to control the defence and settlement of the claim, provided that any settlement that imposes any obligation or admission on Argus requires Argus' prior written consent.

17. Suspension and Termination

Argus may suspend or terminate the Customer's access to the Service, in whole or in part, immediately and without prior notice, where: (a) the Customer is in material breach of these Terms; (b) Argus reasonably believes that the Customer's use of the Service may give rise to legal, regulatory, reputational, or security risk to Argus, any Third-Party Service, or any third party; (c) any payment is overdue; or (d) required to comply with any Applicable Law or order of a court or regulator.

The Customer may cancel its Subscription at any time through the account interface or by giving written notice to Argus, with such cancellation taking effect at the end of the then-current billing period. Fees already paid are non-refundable.

Upon termination, the Customer's right to access and use the Service immediately ceases. Termination does not relieve the Customer of any accrued obligations, including the obligation to pay any unpaid fees. Sections 1, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, and 20, and any other provisions which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination.

18. Modifications to the Terms

Argus may amend these Terms at any time by posting the revised Terms on the Service or by giving notice to the Customer (which may be by email or through the Service). Material changes shall take effect no earlier than thirty (30) days after notice. The Customer's continued use of the Service after the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms. If the Customer does not agree to the amendment, the Customer's sole remedy is to cease using the Service and cancel its Subscription.

19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Customers contracting with Argus AI Group UK Ltd. These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim, save that Argus may bring proceedings in any jurisdiction where the Customer is established or has assets.

Customers contracting with Argus AI Group LLC. These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The parties irrevocably agree that any dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, with the seat of arbitration in Wilmington, Delaware, and conducted in the English language by a single arbitrator. Judgment on any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in respect of breaches of intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations.

Class Action Waiver (US Customers). Customers contracting with Argus AI Group LLC agree that any dispute resolution proceeding shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as part of any class, consolidated, or representative action. The parties expressly waive any right to participate in a class action or class arbitration.

Nothing in this Section 19 limits any non-waivable statutory rights of consumers under their local law.

20. General

Entire Agreement. These Terms (together with any order form, the Privacy Policy, and any Data Processing Addendum) constitute the entire agreement between the parties in respect of the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements. Each party acknowledges that, in entering into these Terms, it has not relied on any statement, representation, assurance, or warranty other than those expressly set out herein.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.

Waiver. No failure or delay by Argus in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any further exercise.

Assignment. The Customer shall not assign, transfer, sub-contract, or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without Argus' prior written consent. Argus may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under these Terms to any Affiliate or to any successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of assets.

Force Majeure. Argus shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance arising from any cause beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, sanctions, pandemic, labour dispute, internet or telecommunications failure, hosting or cloud-provider failure, denial-of-service attack, cyber-attack, or failure of any Third-Party Service.

No Partnership or Agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the parties.

Third-Party Rights. For contracts with Argus AI Group UK Ltd, a person who is not a party to these Terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any provision, save that Affiliates and indemnified persons under Section 16 may enforce any provision conferring a benefit on them.

Notices. Notices to Argus must be sent in writing to the registered office of the contracting Argus entity or to info@argusgroup.ai. Notices to the Customer may be given by email to the address associated with the Account or through the Service interface.
