27. Avenora Indemnification of Customer (Narrow)
Subject to the limitations in this Section 27 and the cap in Section 25, Avenora will defend you against any third-party claim that your authorized use of the Service, in compliance with this Agreement, directly infringes a valid United States patent, copyright, or trademark of that third party (an "IP Claim"), and will pay damages finally awarded against you by a court of competent jurisdiction or amounts you and the claimant agree in a settlement we approved.
Conditions: Our obligation under this Section 27 is conditioned on you (a) promptly notifying us in writing of the IP Claim, (b) giving us sole control of the defense and settlement, and (c) providing all reasonable cooperation at our expense.
Exclusions:We have no obligation under this Section 27 for any IP Claim arising from (i) modification of the Service by anyone other than Avenora, (ii) combination of the Service with anything not provided by Avenora, (iii) use of the Service in violation of this Agreement, (iv) Customer Content, (v) any version of the Service other than the most current production version if the IP Claim would have been avoided by using the current version, or (vi) Avenora's compliance with your specifications, designs, or instructions.
Mitigations. If an IP Claim is brought or in our reasonable opinion is likely to be brought, we may at our sole option (1) procure a license permitting continued use, (2) modify the Service so it no longer infringes, or (3) terminate the affected portion of the Service and refund any prepaid fees allocable to the unused portion of the terminated Service. The remedies in this Section 27 are your sole and exclusive remedy for any infringement claim.
28. Insurance
You will maintain at your own expense and during the entire Subscription Term commercial general liability insurance with a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and, if your use of the Service involves outbound calling or messaging, errors and omissions / professional liability insurance with a minimum of $1,000,000 per claim. Upon request, you will furnish certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage and naming Avenora as an additional insured for ongoing operations.
29. Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for failure or delay in performance (other than payment obligations) due to events beyond reasonable control, including (without limitation) acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, insurrection, pandemic, epidemic, government action, change in law, natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake, telecommunications failure, internet backbone failure, AI provider outage, third-party API outage, cyberattack, denial-of-service attack, ransomware, supply-chain disruption, or labor dispute. The affected party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact.
30. Compliance with Laws; Export Controls; Sanctions; Anti-Corruption
Each party will comply with all laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement. You will not export, re-export, or transfer the Service, directly or indirectly, in violation of U.S. export controls (including the Export Administration Regulations) or any other applicable export law, or to any person or entity on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

You will provide reasonable cooperation, including access to records and relevant personnel. If an audit reveals breach, you will reimburse Avenora's reasonable audit costs in addition to any other remedy. Audit findings are Avenora's Confidential Information.
32. Publicity
Avenora may identify you as a customer (using your name, logo, and a generic description of your business) on Avenora's website, in marketing materials, and in pitch decks, subject to your trademark guidelines (if you provide them). You may revoke this permission with 30 days' written notice to legal@avenora.ai. We will not issue press releases or case studies referencing you by name without your prior written consent.
33. Pre-Arbitration Informal Dispute Resolution (Mandatory)
Before initiating any arbitration or legal proceeding, each party agrees to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. The aggrieved party must send a written notice describing the dispute, the specific relief sought, and contact information to legal@avenora.ai(if the aggrieved party is Customer) or to Customer's registered email (if the aggrieved party is Avenora). The parties will negotiate in good faith for at least sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the notice. No party may initiate arbitration or any legal proceeding until this informal-resolution period has elapsed. The statute of limitations and any contractual limitation period (including in Section 35) is tolled during this period.
34. Binding Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION OF MOST DISPUTES, WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
34.1 Agreement to arbitrate
You and Avenora agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Service, marketing of the Service, the relationship between the parties, or the termination of any of the foregoing (each, a "Dispute"), whether sounding in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise, shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect (or, if JAMS is unavailable, by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules). The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator with experience in technology and telecommunications law. The seat of arbitration is Erie County, Pennsylvania. The arbitrator may conduct proceedings by video conference. The arbitrator's award is final and binding; judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
34.2 Class action waiver
ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF FOR THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS.
If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to any particular claim, that claim must be brought in court (subject to the jury waiver below) and the remainder of this arbitration provision continues to apply to all other Disputes.
34.3 Jury trial waiver
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE.
34.4 Exceptions
The arbitration requirement does not apply to:
- Claims that may be brought in small-claims court in Erie County, Pennsylvania, if the claim qualifies under that court's jurisdictional limits and proceeds in an individual capacity
- Either party's right to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court for breach of intellectual property rights, breach of confidentiality, unauthorized access, or violation of Section 5 (License Restrictions) — pending the merits being decided in arbitration
34.5 Arbitration opt-out
You may opt out of this Section 34 (arbitration, class waiver, and jury waiver) by sending written notice to legal@avenora.aiwithin thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, with subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including your account email, business name, and signature. Opting out of this Section does not affect any other provision of this Agreement. Opting out is the only way to preserve your right to a jury trial or class action.
34.6 Costs
Each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs except where the arbitrator awards otherwise under applicable law. JAMS fees will be paid in accordance with JAMS rules; Avenora will advance Customer's portion if doing so is required to render this arbitration provision enforceable.
35. Statute of Limitations
To the maximum extent permitted by law, any Dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Service must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after the cause of action accrues, or be forever barred. This contractual limitation period is in addition to (and shortens, where the applicable statutory period is longer) any statute of limitations otherwise applicable.
36. Governing Law & Venue
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, excluding its conflict-of-law principles and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Subject to Section 34 (Arbitration), any Dispute not subject to arbitration must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Erie County, Pennsylvania, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.
37. Notices
Notices to Avenora must be sent to legal@avenora.ai with a copy to: Avenora LLC, 502 W 7th St STE 100, Erie, PA 16502, USA. Notices to Customer will be sent to the email address associated with your Account. Notices are deemed received on the date sent if by email and confirmed received (or by the next business day if sent during non-business hours), or three (3) business days after mailing if by physical mail. Each party is responsible for keeping its contact information current.
38. Assignment; Subcontracting; Successors
You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent (which may be withheld in our sole discretion). Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void. Avenora may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without consent to (a) an Affiliate or (b) a successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of its assets. Avenora may engage subcontractors to perform any aspect of the Service. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
39. Independent Contractors
The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, fiduciary, or employment relationship. Neither party has authority to bind the other or to incur any obligation on the other's behalf.
40. Survival
The following Sections survive expiration or termination of this Agreement indefinitely (or, where shorter survival is reasonable, for the period required to give them effect): 2 (Definitions), 5 (License Restrictions, with respect to pre-termination use), 6 (Representations), 7–8 (AUP, Prohibited Content, with respect to pre-termination use), 9 (SMS/Voice Compliance, including indemnity), 10 (Recording Indemnity), 13 (Customer Content License, to the extent of any continued use of pre-termination data), 14 (Avenora IP), 15 (Feedback), 16 (Confidentiality, for five years or so long as the information remains confidential, whichever is longer), 17 (Privacy and HIPAA), 19 (Fees, for amounts due), 23 (Effect of Termination), 24 (Disclaimers), 25 (Limitation of Liability), 26 (Customer Indemnification), 27 (Avenora Indemnification), 30 (Compliance), 33 (Pre-Arbitration), 34 (Arbitration / Class Waiver / Jury Waiver), 35 (Statute of Limitations), 36 (Governing Law and Venue), 37 (Notices), 38 (Assignment), 40 (Survival), 41 (Entire Agreement), 44 (Severability), 45 (Construction), and 47 (Contact).
41. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, negotiations, proposals, representations, and agreements (whether oral, written, or electronic). In the event of conflict, the order of precedence is: (1) the applicable Order Form; (2) these Terms; (3) the AUP and Privacy Policy; (4) the Documentation. No oral statement by any Avenora representative — including statements made during sales calls, demos, support interactions, or marketing — modifies this Agreement. Modifications must be in writing (electronic or paper) and signed (electronically or otherwise) by an authorized representative of Avenora, or posted by Avenora as updates per Section 42.
42. Amendment
Avenora may amend this Agreement at any time by posting an updated version at avenora.ai/terms, updating the "Last updated" date, and (for material changes) providing notice via email or in-app at least 14 days before the amendment takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the amendment. If you do not agree to an amendment, your sole remedy is to cancel your subscription before the amendment takes effect. Avenora is not obligated to maintain prior versions of the Service for non-amending customers.
43. Waiver
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver. No waiver of any provision will be effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving party. A waiver on one occasion does not constitute a waiver on any subsequent occasion.
44. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force, and the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable while preserving the parties' intent. If modification is not possible, the provision is severed and the remainder continues in effect, except as expressly provided in Section 34.2 (class action waiver).
45. Construction; Interpretation
- "Including" means "including without limitation."
- Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
- References to a "day" mean a calendar day unless otherwise specified.
- References to law, rule, or regulation include amendments, successors, and implementing rules.
