- Removal of Data. If Procurify determines in its reasonable discretion that any Customer Data (i) violates Applicable Law, including applicable privacy laws, or (ii) the access to or use of the Customer Data would expose Procurify to civil or criminal liability, then Procurify has the right, but not the obligation, to remove (or request that the Customer remove) the Customer Data. If Customer subscribes to a free account offered by Procurify or if Customer’s account is suspended, Customer acknowledges that any data Customer enters into the Platform may be permanently lost and not recoverable.
- Correction to Customer Data.

8. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Decision Making.
- AI Models; Inputs. Procurify may offer or integrate with certain artificial intelligence features as part of the Service (each, an “AI Model“), including to help the Customer and its Users to create content, analyze documentation, organize information, automate decision making, and more. Any such AI Model integrated into the Service and the Customer’s use of the AI Model is subject to the terms of the Agreement. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that any summary, text, instructions, or other content it makes available while using the features of the AI Model (collectively, “Inputs“) are appropriate and permissible under the Agreement.
- Outputs. Use of an AI Model may result in content, materials, data, visuals, metrics, insights, optimizations, recommendations, and other output generated or provided by the AI Model (collectively, “Outputs“). Since AI Models are a new technology that is still being developed and tested, Outputs sometimes are inaccurate, may contain errors, and may not be free from bias. That being the case, the Customer is advised to carefully review the resulting Outputs before relying on them. If third-party data sources, third-party information, or proprietary materials are used by the Customer with the AI Model, the Customer agrees to ensure that its use of any Output does not violate the Intellectual Property Rights or proprietary rights of Procurify or any third party. The Customer is not required to use any such Outputs and is free to and should modify them as appropriate to ensure compliance with this Agreement and Applicable Laws. The Customer also acknowledges and agrees that any Outputs may not be protectable under copyright or other Intellectual Property Rights, proprietary rights, or other Applicable Law. Procurify makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, that the Output is protectable under any law. Due to the nature of generative artificial intelligence, Outputs may not be unique, and the AI Model may generate or provide the same or similar Output for the Customer as it generates or provides for other parties. Outputs for other users are not considered Customer Data or the Customer’s content.
- AI Models are Non-Procurify Services. AI Models are Non-Procurify Services. Without prejudice to any of Procurify’s other rights, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that Procurify leverages certain third parties to provide AI Models, including to generate Outputs and to process and store Inputs and Outputs in private hosting environments. By using an AI Model, the Customer authorizes and agrees that such third parties may access, use, and store any Inputs and Outputs pursuant to their relevant terms and privacy policies.
- License to Procurify to use Inputs and Outputs. Without limiting Procurify’s rights otherwise stated in the Agreement, by using an AI Model, the Customer agrees that Procurify and its Affiliates may process Inputs and Outputs (including any intellectual property contained therein or embodied thereby) into De-identified Data to be used for any purpose, including to develop and improve an AI Model and for machine learning purposes to research, develop, and improve an AI Model, the Services, and similar products and features.
- Languages and Other Limitations. Customer acknowledges that AI Models may only be available in certain languages and subject to certain limitations (e.g., restrictions on use for certain types of customers or for certain purposes). The Customer agrees to comply with any such restrictions or limitations.
- Availability of AI Models. The laws and regulations governing artificial intelligence and related technology are uncertain and evolving, and the ability to use an AI Model or Outputs may be adversely impacted in the future by changes to Applicable Laws, and so the Customer acknowledges and agrees that Procurify may modify, suspend, discontinue, or limit use of the AI Model without notice or compensation if required, in Procurify’s reasonable discretion, to comply with Applicable Laws related to AI Models.
- Automated Decision Making. The Customer acknowledges that some jurisdictions have enacted legislation regarding automated decision making tools, including the right of individuals to submit observations regarding automated decision making with their Personal Information or the right to have human intervention where a decision is made using automated means. Procurify and the Customer agree to cooperate with each other regarding any such data subject rights exercised under applicable privacy laws.

If the True Up reveals that the Customer’s use of the Platform exceeds any thresholds set out in an Order Form, including the number of Users specified in the applicable Order Form, Procurify will issue an order form for the difference between the quantities purchased in the existing Order Form and the consumption reflected in the True Up. Unless specified in the applicable Order Form, the Fees for such excess use shall be based on Procurify’s then-current unit costs. The Customer agrees to pay for such excess use in accordance with the payment terms in the Agreement.
- Invoicing. Procurify will prepare and send to the Customer, at the then-current contact information on file with Procurify, an invoice for any Fees that have become due and payable.

- Refund Policy. If Procurify removes any material functionality described in the Order Form from the Platform, Customer may, upon providing notice to Procurify within 30 days of such removal, request a refund pursuant to this Section. To submit a refund request, Customer shall (i) reference this Section; and (ii) submit a support request, in writing, describing the material removal of functionality and how it has affected Customer’s operations.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, PROCURIFY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION, CONDITION OR WARRANTY THAT ANY CUSTOMER DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION USED BY CUSTOMER IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES (OR ANY PART THEREOF), AND THE RESULTS BASED ON SUCH CUSTOMER DATA OR INFORMATION BEING USED WITH THE SERVICES, ARE OR WILL BE ACCURATE, OR CAN OR SHOULD BE RELIED UPON BY CUSTOMER FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER. Procurify will not be liable or responsible for any delays, interruptions, delivery or service failure, or any other problems or Damages arising from the Customer’s use of the internet, electronic communications, or any other systems.
14. Indemnification
- Customer Indemnity. Customer shall defend and indemnify Procurify and its Affiliates (and their respective directors, employees, representatives, agents, and contractors) from and against all third party Claims and resulting Damages arising out of, related to, or based on the Customer Data or its use by Procurify as permitted in this Agreement.
- Procurify Indemnity.
- Subject to the other terms of this Section, Procurify shall defend and indemnify Customer and its Affiliates (and their respective directors, employees, representatives, agents, and contractors) from and against all third party Claims and resulting Damages arising out of, related, or based on such third party’s allegation that Customer’s use of the Platform in accordance with this Agreement infringed such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights.
- In the defense or settlement of any Customer Claim that alleges that the Platform infringes or misappropriates third-party Intellectual Property Rights, Procurify may obtain the right for the Customer to continue using the Platform, replace or Modify the Platform (so long as such modified Platform is substantially equivalent in functionality and performance) so that it becomes non-infringing or, if these remedies are not reasonably available and without any additional liability or obligation to the Customer, terminate this Agreement on 2 business days’ notice to the Customer and refund the Customer a prorated amount equal to the prepaid unused Fees for access to the Platform for the unexpired portion of the Term. This section states the Customer’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies, and Procurify’s and its Affiliates’ and each of their respective officers’, directors’ employees’, agents’, and sub-contractors’ entire obligations and liability for infringement of any Intellectual Property Right.
- Exclusions. Customer and its Affiliates and their respective, officers, directors, employees, agents, or sub-contractors will not be liable to Procurify under subsection (a) above to the extent that: (1) the Claim is based on modification of Customer Data by Procurify or by any party under Procurify’s control (other than modification at the request of the Customer); (2) the Claim arises as a result of any use or disclosure of the Customer Data by Procurify not permitted by this Agreement or Applicable Law. Procurify and its Affiliates and their respective, officers, directors, employees, agents, or sub-contractors will not be liable to the Customer under subsection (b) above to the extent that the alleged infringement is based on: (1) a Modification of the Platform by the Customer or anyone on the Customer’s behalf (including a Modification made by Procurify at the Customer’s direction that Procurify does not make generally available to all its customers) to the extent that Claim would not have occurred absent such Modification; (2) use of the Platform in a manner contrary to the instructions given by Procurify or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement; (3) use of the Platform in combination with other products, software, or data not supplied or authorized by Procurify or intended to be integrated with the Platform by the means Procurify makes available, including Non-Procurify Services; or (4) use of the Platform after notice of a potential, alleged, or actual infringement from Procurify or any appropriate authority or third party.
- Indemnification Procedure. The Party seeking indemnification under this section (the “Indemnitee“) will provide the other Party (the “Indemnitor“) with prompt written notice of any Claim for which indemnity is sought. If the Indemnitor is notified, the Indemnitor will promptly hire experienced and competent legal counsel and will have sole control of the defense and all negotiations for the compromise or settlement of the Claim and will, subject to the limitations on liability stated in this Agreement, pay any Damages regarding the Claim. The Indemnitor will also reimburse the Indemnitee for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in cooperation with and providing assistance to the Indemnitor. However, the Indemnitor may not settle any Claim without the Indemnitee’s consent if the proposed settlement would be in the Indemnitee’s name, impose monetary or other liability or an admission of fault or guilt on the Indemnitee, or would require the Indemnitee to be bound by an injunction.
- Reduction of Indemnification Obligations. Indemnification by either Party under this Agreement may be reduced to the extent of loss actually proven as directly attributable to the breach of the Agreement, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the other Party.
15. Limitation of Liabilities
The Parties acknowledge that the following provisions have been negotiated by them and reflect a fair allocation of risk and form an essential basis of the bargain and will survive and continue in full force and effect despite any failure of consideration or of an exclusive remedy:
- AMOUNT. EXCEPT FOR (I) DAMAGES OR LOSSES CAUSED BY A PARTY’S INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR (II) A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IN WHICH CASE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED $1,000,000.00, IN NO EVENT WILL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER IN THE PRIOR 12 MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. FOR GREATER CERTAINTY, THE EXISTENCE OF ONE OR MORE CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT INCREASE THIS MAXIMUM LIABILITY AMOUNT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY DO NOT APPLY TO THE CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATION TO PAY FEES OWING TO PROCURIFY FOR THE SERVICES.
- TYPE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY: (I) SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; (II) LOST SAVINGS, PROFIT, USE, OR GOODWILL; (III) BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; OR (IV) ANY COSTS FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OF ACTION OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FUNDAMENTAL BREACH, BREACH OF A FUNDAMENTAL TERM) OR OTHERWISE AND EVEN IF NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF SUCH DAMAGES.
- Disclaimer of Liability for Security Incidents. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, in no event will Procurify be liable for any Damages resulting from unauthorized access to or use of the Platform or Customer Data or information contained within the Platform, except to the extent that Procurify’s breach of its security standards expressly stated in this Agreement results in the unauthorized access.
16. Term and Termination
- Term of Agreement. This Agreement will commence on the earlier of the Customer (i) executing an Order Form that references this Subscription Services Agreement; (ii) accessing or using the Services; or (iii) clicking a box indicating acceptance of this Agreement, and will continue until all applicable Order Forms or SOWs have expired or terminated according to their terms or until this Agreement has been terminated according to its terms.
- Order Form Term; Renewals. The Order Form Term will automatically renew for successive 12 month periods on the same terms (each, a “Renewal Period” and collectively with the initial term and all Renewal Periods, the “Term“) unless (i) either party gives the other written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days in advance of renew date, (ii) a superseding Order Form is entered into by the Parties (for clarity, any such superseding Order Form shall automatically renew in accordance with this Section, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties), or (iii) the Order Form is terminated according to its terms, Section 16(c), or any other right of termination expressly provided to a Party by this Agreement. Procurify may increase the Fees during any Renewal Period upon at least 90 days’ prior notice to Customer, provided that Procurify will not increase the Fees during a Renewal Period by more than 7% unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not limit any permitted Fee increases during the Term pursuant to Section 11(a).
- Termination for Cause and Certain Events. Either Party may, in addition to other relief, terminate this Agreement or any applicable Order Form:
- if the other Party commits a material breach of any provision of this Agreement and fails within 30 days after receipt of notice of such breach to correct such material breach or to commence corrective action reasonably acceptable to the aggrieved Party and proceed with due diligence to cure the breach, in each case unless the material breach is not capable of being cured, in which case the non-breaching Party may immediately terminate the Agreement or applicable Order Form;
- immediately upon the other Party commencing or becoming subject to reorganization, winding up, insolvency, or bankruptcy proceedings under any national, federal, state, or provincial statute or law applicable to the Party or ceases to operate in the ordinary course of its business.
If this Agreement is terminated by the Customer in accordance with this subsection, Procurify will refund the Customer a pro rata portion of any prepaid unused Fees covering the remainder of the Term after the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Procurify in accordance with this subsection, the Customer will pay any unpaid Fees covering the remainder of the Order For Term of all Order Forms.
- Effect of Termination (Agreement). Immediately in the event of any termination of the Agreement or expiration of the Term:
- Subject to any rights provided for in an Order Form or SOW that survive termination, all Order Forms or SOWs then in-effect will immediately terminate, and Procurify will cease all Services on the effective date of termination or expiration of the Term, and any right the Customer has to access the Platform under this Agreement will immediately terminate;
- Each Party will promptly return and make no further use of any materials and other items (and all copies of them) belonging to the other Party. Provided, however, that the foregoing does not limit Procurify’s rights of use regarding De-identified Data or to copies of Customer Data made as a matter of routine information technology backup that Procurify must retain pursuant to Applicable Law or chooses to store in accordance with its record retention policy (including for tax and audit purposes), with such Customer Data being subject to the confidentiality and security provisions in this Agreement or under Applicable Law for so long as it is retained.
- Procurify may erase or otherwise destroy the Customer Data in part or in whole unless Procurify receives, no later than 90 days after the effective date of termination or expiration of the Term, written notice from the Customer requesting the most recent extraction of the Customer Data. Within 30 days of receiving such notice, Procurify will provide the Customer with a copy of its Customer Data in a format reasonably requested by the Customer and commercially practical for Procurify to provide.
- Effect of Termination (Order Form or SOW). If the Customer has more than one Order Form or SOW effective (for example, for additional or ancillary Procurify products or Professional Services), then in the event of any termination or expiration of one Order Form or SOW, Procurify will cease providing the applicable terminated or expired Services subject to that Order Form or SOW upon the effective date of termination or expiration of that Order Form or SOW and the Agreement will continue to apply to any other unexpired, currently effective Order Forms or SOWs.
- Fees. Termination will not relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay all Fees and undisputed charges accrued and payable before the effective date of termination or non-refundable Fees due to the end of the applicable Order Form Term.
- Survival. The following Sections, together with any other provision of this Agreement which expressly or by its nature survives termination or expiration, or which contemplates performance or observance subsequent to termination or expiration of this Agreement, will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: Section 3 (Reservation of Rights), Section 5(b) (Ownership of the Deliverables under Professional Services), Section 6 (Data), Section 8(d) (License to Procurify to use Inputs and Outputs), Section 12 (Confidential Information), Section 13 (Warranty; Disclaimer) Section 14 (Indemnity), Section 15 (Limitation of Liabilities), Section 16(h) (Survival), and Section 17 (General Provisions).
