2. Customer Responsibilities and Acceptable Use
Customer will provide timely cooperation, accurate information, and the necessary access/integrations. Customer is responsible for: (a) the accuracy and legality of data it supplies to the Services; (b) obtaining all consents and lawful bases required for communications placed by or via the Services; and (c) using the Services in compliance with law and with any published acceptable-use policies.
Customer shall not: (i) reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from the Services; or (ii) use the Services to send unlawful or harmful content.
Customer shall indemnify and defend Provider against third-party claims and reasonable costs arising from Customer Data or Customer's use of the Services in breach of this Agreement or law (except to the extent caused by Provider); Provider may (without obligation) monitor use and may suspend the Services to prevent material harm, abuse or security risk, and will notify Customer promptly of the reasons for suspension.
3. Confidentiality, Proprietary Rights
Each party may receive confidential information of the other. The receiving party will protect such information with at least reasonable care and use it solely to perform this Agreement. Obligations do not apply to information that is public, independently developed, rightfully received from a third party, or required to be disclosed by law (with notice where lawful).
As between the parties, Customer retains all rights in Customer Data; Provider retains all rights in the Services, software, models, configurations, and documentation. Provider grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access the Services during the Term. Provider may use de-identified/aggregated data to improve the Services. No other licences are granted except as stated.
4. Data Protection (UK GDPR)
For personal data processed in connection with the Services, Customer is the Controller and Provider is the Processor. The parties shall comply with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Processing of personal data is governed by the Data Processing Agreement incorporated by reference, and prevails on data-protection matters.
Within 30 days after termination/expiry and on written request, Provider will either (i) make available a one-time copy of Customer Data in a commonly-used machine-readable format; or (ii) delete Customer Data from active systems, subject to legal retention and standard backups.
5. Fees and Payment
Fees are stated and payable in GBP (£) and exclude VAT, which shall be added at the applicable rate.
Customer shall maintain a Prepaid Balance (also referred to as "Credits") by purchasing a credit balance per month in advance, reflecting the Customer's monthly Minimum Fees as set out in the Order Form. Usage Fees are deducted from the Prepaid Balance as incurred. Where the balance falls below Low-Balance Threshold, Provider will notify the Billing Contact stated in the Order Form, and Customer shall top-up (at least the Minimum Top-Up Amount), otherwise Provider may pause initiation of new calls/messages until the balance is replenished; in-flight sessions may complete. Credits are valid for 6 months from purchase (rolling over each top-up) and are non-refundable. Provider will make AI Interview usage and credit balance information available to the Customer.
For Service Fees (as defined in the Order Form), invoices are due within 14 days of invoice date. Overdue amounts accrue interest at 4% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from due date until paid. Customer may not withhold or set-off. Provider may suspend the Services on 7 days' notice if undisputed invoices remain unpaid 21 days after the due date.
Provider may change Usage Fees on renewal of any Service Term with 30 days' email notice; changes don't affect the current Service Term or the already-purchased credits.

Either party may terminate for material breach not remedied within 30 days of notice. Either party may terminate immediately if the other becomes insolvent.
On termination/expiry, all unused credits accumulated by the Customer will be forfeited and will not be refunded or carried over, all fees due become immediately payable.
