3. Provision of the Cloud Services

3.1 Cloud Services Use. During the Order Term, Groq will provide the Cloud Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to Customer’s ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Groq grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and limited right to access and use the Cloud Services in accordance with, and during the Term of, this Agreement, including the right to use Groq’s APIs to integrate the Cloud Services and AI Model Services into your Customer Application and to make the Cloud Services and AI Model Services available to End Users through your Customer Applications.

3.2 Accounts. Customer must have an Account to use the Cloud Services and is responsible for the information it provides to create the Account, the security of its passwords for the Account (including any keys for Groq’s APIs), and for any use of its Account. Groq has no obligation to provide multiple accounts to Customer. Customer will only make its Account available to Authorized Account Users. Customer is responsible for its Authorized Users’ use of the Cloud Services and AI Model Services, and for their compliance with Customer obligations under this Agreement. Customer may not resell or lease access to its Account.

3.3 Affiliate Usage and Separate Purchases. Groq provisions the Cloud Services to specific entities using dedicated workspaces and organizational IDs. Customer Affiliates may use the Cloud Services under Customer’s Account, which means Customer and its Affiliates usage will occur in the same workspace and under the organizational IDs issued by the Customer to such Affiliates. Customer will be responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of its Affiliates that access the Cloud Services in connection with this Agreement as if they were Customer’s own acts or omissions. If Customer Affiliates’ purchase and use of the Cloud Services is intended to be separate from Customer’s, then the Affiliate must execute a separate Order Form. Groq will then create a separate workspace and organizational ID for that Affiliate and provision the Cloud Services accordingly. If Customer Affiliates enter into an Order Form under this Agreement they will be bound by this Agreement.

3.4 Protection of Customer Data. Groq will only access, use, and otherwise process any Personal Data contained in the Customer Data in accordance with the DPA and any PHI contained in the Customer Data in accordance with the BAA.

3.5 Updates.

3.5.a. To the Cloud Services. Groq may update the Cloud Services from time to time, including by adding or removing features, increasing or decreasing capacity limits, offering new services or discontinuing certain services. Except to the extent that you have prepaid for certain Cloud Services for which Groq may issue a refund, we will not be liable for any change to or any Suspension or discontinuation of the Cloud Services or your access to them.

3.5.b. To this Agreement. We may make updates to this Agreement and our pricing terms from time to time. Material updates to this Agreement will become effective 30 days after they are posted. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent any updates apply to new functionality or are required to comply with applicable law, they will be effective immediately. If the updates include material changes that affect your rights or obligations, we will notify you of the changes by reasonable means, which could include notification through the Cloud Services or via email. Your continued use of the Cloud Services following the effective date of any updates to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes. If Customer does not agree to the updated Agreement, Customer may stop using the Cloud Services. To the extent that Customer stops using the Cloud Services as a result of a change to the Agreement and Groq determines in its reasonable discretion that the change will have a material adverse effect on Customer's rights or obligations under this Agreement, Customers that have prepaid for Cloud Services may terminate this Agreement and the applicable Order Form by written notice to Groq and Groq will refund all prepaid unused Fees as of the date of termination.

3.5.c. To the URL Terms. Groq may make commercially reasonable updates to the URL Terms from time to time by posting any such update at the relevant URL. Unless otherwise noted by Groq, updates that relate to new functionality or services, the DPA or the BAA, or are required by applicable law, will be effective immediately. Any other material updates to the URL Terms will become effective 30 days after they are posted.

3.6 Beta Services. From time to time, we may make available products, services, features, or functionality to you that are not generally made available to our Customers or are designated as GroqLabs, alpha, beta, experimental, pilot, trial, preview, pre-release, pre-production, early access, or similar designation (“Beta Services”). The purpose of Beta Services testing is to evaluate the functionality, performance, and usability of the Beta Services. Beta Services are not Cloud Services under this Agreement. The Beta Services: (a) are not a final product and may contain defects, bugs, and other issues; and (b) are being provided solely on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without any warranty of any kind, and may be modified or discontinued in our sole discretion at any time. YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR USE OF THE BETA SERVICES. Additionally, we are not obligated to provide any indemnity, maintenance, technical, or other support for the Beta Services. Except as otherwise expressly indicated in Documentation, Groq’s DPA and BAA do not apply to Beta Services.

3.7 Third-Party Offerings. Customer may, in its sole discretion, elect to use Third-Party Offerings through or with the Cloud Services and acknowledges and agrees that Third-Party Offerings are not Cloud Services provided by Groq and may be subject to additional separate terms. By accessing a Third-Party Offering, Customer agrees to the applicable Third-Party Offering terms. Customer’s access or use of Third-Party Offerings are governed by this Agreement and the relevant Third-Party Offering terms. Groq disclaims all Liability arising from Customer’s use of Third-Party Offerings and Groq’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement do not apply to allegations arising from Third-Party Offerings.

4.1 AI Model Terms. Customer and its Authorized Users will comply with the applicable AI Model Terms for each AI Model Service that is used under this Agreement. Customer and its Authorized Users are solely responsible for their use of the AI Model Services and for complying with the AI Model Terms. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the AI Model Terms, the AI Model Terms will control solely with respect to such use of an AI Model Service. Groq may share information, that does not include Customer Data, about your use of an AI Model Service that is a Third-Party Offering with the developer, publisher, or provider of that AI Model Service.

Customer represents and warrants that it and its Authorized Users have all rights, licenses, and permissions required to submit Inputs to the AI Model Services. Customer and its Authorized Users are solely responsible for all use of the Outputs and for evaluating the accuracy and appropriateness of Output for their use case. Groq does not access, use, store, or retain Inputs or Outputs except as necessary to provide the Cloud Services, in accordance with the Customer's permission or instruction, comply with applicable law, ensure the reliable operation of the Cloud Services, or confirm Customer’s compliance with the AUP. Eligible Customers may enable Groq's zero data retention setting in the Console to prevent access by Groq to Inputs and Outputs for the purposes of ensuring reliable operation of the Cloud Services or compliance with the AUP. For clarity, Groq is not permitted to use Inputs or Outputs for training or fine-tuning any AI Model Services or other models, unless explicitly granted permission or instructed by Customer.

4.3 AI Model Services Disclaimer. Customer acknowledges that AI Model Services may, in some scenarios, produce the same or similar generated Output for multiple customers. The AI Model Services may sometimes provide inaccurate or offensive content that does not represent Groq’s views. Customer and its Authorized Users agree to use discretion before relying on, publishing, or otherwise using Output provided by the AI Model Services. The AI Model Services should not be used for medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Output generated by code generation features of AI Model Services may be subject to third-party licenses, including open source licenses. For the avoidance of any doubt and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the AI Model Services are provided without any express or implied warranty regarding the quality or the accuracy of the AI Model Services (including Outputs). By using the AI Model Service, you acknowledge that the Outputs generated may be incomplete or inaccurate.

4.4 Deprecation. Groq may deprecate the AI Model Services at any time and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with reasonable prior notice before such deprecation. Please see Groq’s model deprecation documentation for the latest information regarding AI Model Services availability. In the event that a specific AI Model Service is deprecated, Groq will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide an alternative model to ensure continued service and functionality, if available. If Customer has prepaid for use of a specific AI Model Service through the Cloud Services in an Order Form signed by the Customer, and such AI Model Service is deprecated without an alternative model, Groq will provide a pro rata refund for any prepaid unused Fees attributable to such deprecated AI Model Service.

4.5 Fine-tuned AI Model Services or Customer Supplied AI Model Services. At Groq’s sole discretion, Groq may agree to host Customer's fine-tuned version of an AI Model Service or any other Customer-supplied AI Model Service and may provide reasonable engineering and technical support to facilitate the integration of such Customer supplied AI Model Service through the Cloud Services for Customer Applications. Customer grants Groq and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to use the Customer supplied AI Model Service solely for the purpose of maintaining and providing the Cloud Services to Customer during the Order Term. Customer represents and warrants it has all rights in the Customer supplied AI Model Service necessary to grant the rights contemplated by this Agreement for Groq and its Affiliates to provide the Cloud Services to Customer for its sole use of such Customer supplied AI Model Service. Groq disclaims all Liability arising from the Customer supplied AI Model Services and Groq’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement do not apply to allegations arising from Customer supplied AI Model Services.

4.6 Agentic AI Model Services and Cloud Services. Customer is solely responsible for (a) authorizing an agentic AI Model Service or Cloud Service’s access and connection to any data, applications, and systems, (b) the actions and tasks performed by any agentic features of an AI Model Service or Cloud Service that it uses, and (c) complying with any legal, regulatory, or licensing requirements applicable to its use of the agentic features of an AI Model Service or Cloud Service.

5. Payment Terms

5.1 Pricing. Prices for the Cloud Services and AI Model Services are as published at https://groq.com/pricing/ or otherwise agreed to in an Order Form. Certain Cloud Services and AI Model Services may be designated as fee-free or otherwise available without triggering a payment for a limited time or based on usage limits. Specific Customer pricing agreed to in an Order Form is applicable for the specified Order Term, may be required to be payable in advance, and is subject to quantities purchased not being decreased during the Order Term. For pricing agreed to in an Order Form, to the extent Customer’s use exceeds the usage specified in the Order Form, Groq or Customer’s reseller will bill Customer for the excess use in arrears calculated based on the fee per token use published at https://groq.com/pricing/ or as otherwise agreed to in such Order Form. Groq reserves the right to correct pricing errors or mistakes at any time.

5.2 Billing. Groq will issue an electronic bill or invoice to Customer or Customer’s reseller for all Fees, including, if applicable, Fees based on Customer's use of the Cloud Services, AI Model Services or other services during the applicable Fee Accrual Period. Customer will pay all Fees in US Dollars (USD) or the currency specified in the Order Form. If Customer pays by credit card, debit card, or other non-invoiced form of payment, Customer will pay all Fees immediately at the end of the Fee Accrual Period or, if Customer has agreed to automatic payments, when otherwise charged by Groq. If Customer pays by invoice, Customer will pay Groq all invoiced amounts by the Payment Due Date. Unless required by law, Customer's obligation to pay all Fees is non-cancellable. For Cloud Services, Groq's metering or measurement tools (as can be seen in the dashboard in Console) will be used to determine Customer's usage of the Cloud Services or AI Model Services, as applicable. Groq has no obligation to provide multiple bills. Payments made via wire transfer must include the bank information provided by Groq.

5.3 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of Taxes, which Groq will charge as required by applicable law in connection with the Cloud Services and AI Model Services. Groq will use the name and address in the Account as the place of supply for tax purposes. Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and will pay Groq for the Cloud Services and AI Model Services without any reduction for Taxes. If Groq is obligated to collect or pay any Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer and Customer will pay such Taxes to Groq, unless Customer provides Groq with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate in respect of those Taxes. If any such deduction or withholding for Taxes is required by law, Customer will increase the payment to Groq, so that the net amount received equals the amount invoiced. Customer will provide Groq with any tax identification information that Groq may require to ensure its compliance with applicable tax regulations and authorities in applicable jurisdictions. Customer will be liable to pay (or reimburse Groq for) any taxes, interest (where permissible), penalties, or fines arising out of any mis-declaration by Customer.

5.4 Payment Disputes & Refunds. Any payment dispute must be submitted in good faith before the date on which a payment is due. If Groq, having reviewed the dispute in good faith, determines that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Groq, Groq will either issue a corrected invoice or a credit specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If a disputed invoice has not yet been paid, Groq will apply the credit amount to a disputed invoice and Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice. Refunds given by Groq for billing inaccuracies under this Section 5.4 (Payment Disputes & Refunds) will be in the form of credit for the Cloud Services. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Groq to extend credit to any party.

5.5 Delinquent Payments; Suspension. Late payments (which do not include amounts subject to a good faith payment dispute submitted before the date on which a payment is due), may bear interest, where permissible, at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the date on which such payment is due until paid in full. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Groq in collecting such delinquent amounts. Further, in the event of any late payment for the Cloud Services, Groq may Suspend provision of the Cloud Services until payment is received. Groq reserves any other rights of collection it may have.

If Customer or any Authorized User is using Cloud Services on behalf of the U.S. Government and these terms fail to meet the U.S. Government's needs or are inconsistent in any respect with federal law, Customer and such Authorized Users must immediately discontinue use of the Cloud Services. If greater rights are needed, a mutually acceptable written addendum specifically conveying such rights must supplement this Agreement.

17.14 Conflicting Languages. If this Agreement is made in the English language and any other local language, both versions are equally authentic.

Australia

A new Section 13.2 is added as follows and Section 13 (Disclaimer of Warranties) is renumbered as Section 13.1:

13.2. This Section 13.2 applies only if the Cloud Services are subject to statutory guarantees under the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (“ACCA”). Applicable laws, including the ACCA, may confer rights and remedies into this Agreement that cannot be excluded, and which are not excluded by this Agreement. To the extent that the applicable laws permit Groq to limit their operation, Groq’s and its Affiliates’ Liability under those laws will be limited at its option, to the supply of the Cloud Services again, or payment of the cost of having the Cloud Services supplied again.

Section 16.2 (Governing Law and Venue) is amended by inserting the following text at the end of that Section 16.2: “IF APPLICABLE LAW PREVENTS A DISPUTE FROM BEING RESOLVED IN A CALIFORNIA COURT, THEN CUSTOMER MAY FILE THE DISPUTE IN CUSTOMER’S LOCAL COURTS.

Groq may Suspend Cloud Services to Customer without Liability if at any time Customer or the reseller fails to maintain a billing account linked to its Account or with the reseller.

18.2 All prices for Resold Services will be solely determined between Customer and the reseller and all payment, billing, and invoicing terms under Customer's agreement with the reseller will prevail over this Agreement.

18.3 If Groq's agreement with the reseller or Customer's agreement with the reseller is terminated or expires, then the Cloud Services will no longer be provided to Customer, unless Customer enters into an Order Form for the Cloud Services directly with, and pays the applicable Fees to, Groq in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

18.4 Subject to Section 14 (Limitation of Liability), Groq will not be liable for damages under this Agreement to the extent Customer has claimed damages from the reseller in respect of the same event or series of events.

18.5 Groq may share Customer Confidential Information, that does not include Customer Data, with the reseller subject to confidentiality obligations in this Agreement. Customer acknowledges and agrees that reseller may disclose Customer and Authorized User personal data to Groq as reasonably required for the reseller to handle any support issues that Customer escalates to or via the reseller.

1. Generative AI In addition to these Terms, use of and access to generative AI models made available through the Website (“Generative AI Services”) are also subject to terms and conditions specified by the owner of the generative AI models. You agree that your use of any of these models will comply with the additional terms and conditions as specified on the Model Card for the generative AI models identified at https://console.groq.com/docs/models

Notwithstanding the restriction on licensing set forth in section 4, Content Available through the Services, User Data shall be owned by you and is not retained or used by Groq other than to perform the Generative AI Services hereunder. User Data includes any and all content generated by the Generative AI Services in response to a Prompt (“Outputs”) as well as your Prompts and Training Data. “Prompts” are defined as any and all instructions, queries, visual or textual cues given by you to the Generative AI Services in order to generate an Output. “Training Data” is user supplied data for fine tuning or customization of models and may comprise a collection of textual, visual, and/or multimedia data that provides the model with the necessary context, knowledge, and inspiration to generate meaningful, coherent and responsive Outputs.

If you supply any Training Data for the purpose of prompting, fine-tuning or customizing the Generative AI Services to your specific needs or use-case, Groq will not use the Training Data other than to perform the Generative AI Services for you. Groq does not permanently retain Prompts, Output or your Training Data on its servers.

When you use the Generative AI Services, you provide Prompts to generate Outputs in return on a third party model. You are solely responsible for your use of the Prompts and the Outputs and for complying with the terms of use specified by the third party model owner. You shall only use Prompts to which you own all required rights under applicable law and do so in a manner that is consistent with the applicable law. You shall not intentionally make the Generative AI Services generate Outputs infringing intellectual property rights, third party rights or applicable law, or use such infringing Outputs after you become aware of such infringement.

You hereby represent that you own your Prompts. You retain all the rights, including but not limited to the intellectual property rights to Your Prompts. You grant Groq a worldwide, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to use the Prompts, together with your Training Data, for the purpose of performing the Generative AI Services, for the term of these Terms.

Where applicable, Groq assigns to you, all the intellectual property rights Groq may have in the Outputs generated by your Prompts. This assignment is granted worldwide and for the entire legal term of protection of the Outputs by the intellectual property rights applicable as provided for by the applicable law. However, you are expressly prohibited to use the Outputs and/or any modified or derived version of the Outputs to (directly or indirectly) to reverse engineer any aspect of the Generative AI Services.

You agree that, due to the nature of Generative AI Services, if another user uses a Prompt similar to yours, the Generative AI Services may generate an Output similar or identical to yours. We do not warrant that your Output is not similar or identical to another user’s Output. Consequently, we will not indemnify you in case your Output is similar or identical to another user’s Output or Training Data.

You acknowledge and agree that Generative AI Services are inherently subject to certain unpredictabilities, as such Outputs depend on your Prompt and the technology behind the Generative AI Services which is complex and continuously evolving.

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF ANY DOUBT AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE GENERATIVE AI SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY OR THE ACCURACY OF THE OUTPUTS. CONSEQUENTLY, YOU AGREE THAT THE OUTPUTS GENERATED BY GENERATIVE AI SERVICES MAY BE INCOMPLETE, NOT UP-TO-DATE OR NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE.

The Generative AI Services may sometimes provide inaccurate or offensive content that doesn’t represent Groq’s views. You agree to use discretion before relying on, publishing, or otherwise using Output provided by the Generative AI Services. If you provide any feedback pertaining to the accuracy, relevance, and effectiveness of the Outputs, you grant Groq a worldwide, non-revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to use your Feedback for the purpose of improving the Generative AI Services. You are responsible for making commercially reasonable efforts to make sure the Generative AI Services do not generate Outputs that contain offensive, inappropriate or illicit content. To this end, Groq strongly recommends that you implement appropriate moderation mechanisms for the model(s), by way of example, including the use of a system prompt that instructs the model to generate responses that are safe, respectful, and appropriate as well as providing clear and accessible guidelines for users. You are responsible for continuously monitoring and evaluating the model’s performance to identify and address any issues or concerns arising from your use. Because, neither we nor the model owners warrant that the Output generated will not be offensive, inappropriate or illicit, you are solely responsible for the use of the Output and you shall in no way use the Output for any illicit or unlawful purpose and/or to harm others. Do not rely on the Generative AI Services for medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Any content regarding those topics is provided for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

GroqCloud Terms of Sale

These terms and conditions (Terms) are an agreement between Groq, Inc.,(“Groq”) and you (“Customer” or “you”) that governs your use of our Services (as defined below). By executing the Order for the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms also refer to and incorporate Groq’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and any ordering document signed by you and Groq ( “Order Form”) or Groq webpage through which you purchased the Services (an “Online Order Form”) (collectively, the “Agreement”).

1. Purchase and Use of Services

1.1 Services. Services means services Groq makes available for purchase or use, along with any of our associated software, tools, developer services, documentation, application programming interfaces (“APIs”), and websites, but excluding any Hosted Model, Customer Data or Non-Groq application (as defined below).

1.2 Purchase of Services. Services and access to the Hosted Model are purchased pursuant to these Terms and include either applicable standard support for the Services that Groq provides to customers at no additional charge or upgraded support if purchased. “ Hosted Model” means the artificial intelligence models obtained from publicly available or third party providers and made available to Customer through Services. Groq will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services and Hosted Model available, except for: (a) planned downtime for which Groq can give reasonable notice; and (b) any unavailability beyond Groq’s reasonable control. 1.3 Use Rights. We grant you a non-exclusive right to access and use the Services during the Term (the “Use Rights”). Your Use Rights are non-transferable. Your Use Rights include the right to use Groq’s APIs to integrate the Services into your applications, products, or services (each a “Customer Application”) and to make the Services available to End Users through your Customer Applications. An “End User” means the legal entity who is authorized by Customer to use the Services through Customer Application.

1.4 Customer Responsibilities. Customer will (a) be responsible for End Users’ compliance with this Agreement, and (b) be responsible for the accuracy and legality of Customer Data, use of Customer Data with the Services, and Customer use of the Hosted Model. Customer further agrees to use the Services in accordance with the Terms of Use found here. You may not make account access credentials available to third parties, share individual login credentials between multiple users on an account, or resell or lease access to your account. You will promptly notify us if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account or our Services.

1.5 Third-Party Terms. The Hosted Model and any Non-Groq Applications are provided by third parties and are subject to separate terms of use. “Non-Groq Application” means application or functionality provided by the Customer or a third-party that interoperates with the Services. Customer will comply with the terms and conditions or license of any Non-Groq Application and Hosted Model with which Customer uses Services. Non-Groq Applications accessible through the Services, including our APIs, may be subject to intellectual property rights, and, if so, you may not use it unless you are licensed to do so by the owner of that content or are otherwise permitted by law. Your access to the content provided by the API may be restricted, limited, or filtered in accordance with applicable law, regulation, and policy. Additionally, some of the software required by or included in our APIs may be offered under an open source license. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements. For certain APIs, open source software is listed in the documentation. To the limited extent the open source software license expressly supersedes the Terms, the open source license instead sets forth your agreement with Groq for the applicable open source software.

1.6 Suspension. Any breach of this Agreement that in Groq’s judgment threatens the security, integrity or availability of Services may result in the suspension of Services to Customer and End Users. Groq will restore access to the Services after the event giving rise to the suspension has been resolved to Groq’s reasonable satisfaction.

2. Payment and Pricing

2.1 Fees. All Services shall be paid for in accordance with the Pricing Page or your Order Form, which may also designate the Services as fee-free or otherwise available without triggering a payment due for a limited time. Except as otherwise specified herein or in the applicable Order Form; (a) pricing and fees are calculated based on usage during the Term; (b) payment obligations are non-cancellable and fees are non-refundable: and (c) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the Term. 2.2 Taxes. Unless required by applicable law, fees are exclusive of taxes. Customer will be solely responsible for any and all applicable taxes, including but not limited to sales and use taxes, value added tax, excise tax, consumption tax, customs duties or similar charges or fees, which Groq will charge as required by applicable law.

2.3 Price Changes. Price changes will be effective thirty (30) days after they are posted to the Pricing Page, unless otherwise agreed to in an Order Form. For Services purchased according to an Order Form with annual commitments, pricing may not be changed during the Term of the then-current Order Form. Groq reserves the right to correct pricing errors or mistakes at any time.

2.4 Payment Terms. You authorize Groq or our third-party payment processor to charge the payment method on the periodic basis set forth in the Order Form or the Pricing Page. Fees are payable in U.S. dollars.

You may need to prepay for Services through the purchase of credits (“Prepayment Credits”). Prepayment Credits are subject to the Prepayment Credit Terms.

14. Dispute Resolution

YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS:

_14.1 MANDATORY ARBITRATION. You and Groq agree to resolve any claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or our Services, regardless of when the claim arose, even if it was before this Agreement existed (a "Dispute"), through final and binding arbitration.

_14.2 Informal Dispute Resolution. We would like to understand and try to address your concerns prior to formal legal action. Before either of us files a claim against the other, we both agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally. If we are unable to resolve a Dispute within 60 days, either of us has the right to initiate arbitration. We also both agree to attend an individual settlement conference if either party requests one during this time. Any statute of limitations will be tolled during this informal resolution process.

_14.3 Arbitration Forum. Both you or Groq may commence binding arbitration through National Arbitration and Mediation (NAM), an alternative dispute resolution provider, and if NAM is not available, you and Groqwill select an alternative arbitral forum. The initiating party must pay all filing fees for the arbitration and payment for other administrative and arbitrator's costs will be governed by the arbitration provider's rules. If your claim is determined to be frivolous, you are responsible for reimbursing us for all administrative, hearing, and other fees that we have incurred as a result of the frivolous claim.

_14.4 Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, video conference, or in person in Santa Clara, California or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator by NAM under its then-prevailing rules. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except a California court has the authority to determine (a) whether any provision of this arbitration agreement should be severed and the consequences of said severance, (b) whether you have complied with conditions precedent to arbitration, and (c) whether an arbitration provider is available to hear the arbitration(s) under Section 14.3. The amount of any settlement offer will not be disclosed to the arbitrator by either party until after the arbitrator determines the final award, if any.

_14.5 Exceptions. Nothing in this Agreement requires arbitration of the following claims: (a) individual claims brought in small claims court; and (b) injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement.

_14.8 Severability. If any part of this Section 14 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow class or representative arbitration, this Section 14 will be unenforceable in its entirety. Nothing in this section will be deemed to waive or otherwise limit the right to seek public injunctive relief or any other non-waivable right, pending a ruling on the substance of that claim from the arbitrator.

15. Modifications to these Terms

15.1 Updates. We may update these Terms by providing you with reasonable notice, including by posting the update on our website. Your continued use of, or access to, the Services after an update goes into effect will constitute acceptance of the update. If you do not agree with an update, you may stop using the Services.

16.2 Publicity. Neither Party will use the other Party's name or marks without prior written approval.

16.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Groq with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and understandings, whether written or oral. You agree that any terms and conditions contained within any purchase order you send to us will not apply to this Agreement and are null and void.

16.5 Relationship of the Parties. For all purposes under this Agreement, you and Groqwill be and act as an independent contractor and will not bind nor attempt to bind the other to any contract.

16.7 Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither you nor Groqwill have any liability for failures or delays resulting from conditions beyond your or Groq's reasonable control, including but not limited to governmental action or acts of terrorism, earthquake or other acts of God, labor conditions, or power failures.

16.8 Assignment. This Agreement cannot be assigned other than as permitted under this Section 16.8 (Assignment). We may assign this Agreement to an affiliate without notice or your consent.

By executing the Order Form for the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms also refer to and incorporate Groqʼs Privacy Policy for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Terms of Use for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and any ordering document signed by you and Groq ( “Order Form”) or Groq webpage through which you purchased the Services (an “Online Order Form”) (collectively, the “Agreement”).

1. Purchase and Use of Services

   1.1. Services. “Services” means services Groq or its affiliates makes available for purchase or use, along with any of our associated software, tools, developer services, documentation, application programming interfaces (“APIs”), and websites, but excluding any Hosted Model, Customer Data or Non-Groq application (as defined below). For the purposes of this Agreement, "affiliate" means any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a party. In particular, you agree that some of the Services may be performed for you by Groq, Inc. as agent for and on behalf of Groq.

   1.2. Purchase of Services. Services and access to the Hosted Model are purchased pursuant to these Terms and include either applicable standard support for the Services that Groq provides to customers at no additional charge or upgraded support if purchased. “Hosted Model” means the artificial intelligence models obtained from publicly available or third-party providers and made available to Customer through Services. Groq will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services and Hosted Model available, except for: (a) planned downtime for which Groq can give reasonable notice; and (b) any unavailability beyond Groqʼs reasonable control.

   1.3. Use Rights. We grant you a non-exclusive right to access and use the Services during the Term (the “Use Rights”). Your Use Rights are non-transferable. Your Use Rights include the right to use Groqʼs APIs to integrate the Services into your applications, products, or services (each a “Customer Application”) and to make the Services available to End Users through your Customer Applications. An “End User” means the legal entity who is authorized by Customer to use the Services through Customer Application.

However, we take no responsibility for the accuracy of the information, content or materials which you may have access to as part of, or through your use of the Websites or Services. All information, content and material are provided as-is.

You agree that you are solely responsible for your reuse of information, content or materials made available through the Websites or Services, including providing proper attribution. You should review the terms of the applicable license prior to reuse.

Licensing: Nothing in these Terms grants you any license right or other rights to the Website, Groq Services, products or materials provided through the website.

5. Generative AI.

In addition to these Terms, use of and access to generative AI models made available through the Website ("Generative AI Services") are also subject to terms and conditions specified by the owner of the generative AI models. You agree that your use of any of these models will comply with the additional terms and conditions as specified on the Model Card for the generative AI models identified at https://console.groq.com/docs/models.

Notwithstanding the restriction on licensing set forth in section 4, Content Available through the Services, User Data shall be owned by you and is not retained or used by Groq other than to perform the Generative AI Services hereunder. User Data includes any and all content generated by the Generative AI Services in response to a Prompt ("Outputs") as well as your Prompts and Training Data. "Prompts" are defined as any and all instructions, queries, visual or textual cues given by you to the Generative AI Services in order to generate an Output. "Training Data" is user supplied data for fine tuning or customization of models and may comprise a collection of textual, visual, and/or multimedia data that provides the model with the necessary context, knowledge, and inspiration to generate meaningful, coherent and responsive Outputs.

If you supply any Training Data for the purpose of prompting, fine-tuning or customizing the Generative AI Services to your specific needs or use-case, Groq will not use the Training Data other than to perform the Generative AI Services for you. Groq does not permanently retain Prompts, Output or your Training Data on its servers.

When you use the Generative AI Services, you provide Prompts to generate Outputs in return on a third-party model. You are solely responsible for your use of the Prompts and the Outputs and for complying with the terms of use specified by the third-party model owner. You shall only use Prompts to which you own all required rights under applicable law and do so in a manner that is consistent with the applicable law. You shall not intentionally make the Generative AI Services generate Outputs infringing intellectual property rights, third party rights or applicable law, or use such infringing Outputs after you become aware of such infringement.

You hereby represent that you own your Prompts. You retain all the rights, including but not limited to the intellectual property rights to Your Prompts. You grant Groq a worldwide, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to use the Prompts, together with your Training Data, for the purpose of performing the Generative AI Services, for the term of these Terms.

Where applicable, Groq assigns to you, all the intellectual property rights Groq may have in the Outputs generated by your Prompts. This assignment is granted worldwide and for the entire legal term of protection of the Outputs by the intellectual property rights applicable as provided for by the applicable law. However, you are expressly prohibited to use the Outputs and/or any modified or derived version of the Outputs to (directly or indirectly) to reverse engineer any aspect of the Generative AI Services.

You agree that, due to the nature of Generative AI Services, if another user uses a Prompt similar to yours, the Generative AI Services may generate an Output similar or identical to yours. We do not warrant that your Output is not similar or identical to another user's Output. Consequently, we will not indemnify you in case your Output is similar or identical to another user's Output or Training Data.

You acknowledge and agree that Generative AI Services are inherently subject to certain unpredictabilities, as such Outputs depend on your Prompt and the technology behind the Generative AI Services which is complex and continuously evolving.

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF ANY DOUBT AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE GENERATIVE AI SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY OR THE ACCURACY OF THE OUTPUTS. CONSEQUENTLY, YOU AGREE THAT THE OUTPUTS GENERATED BY GENERATIVE AI SERVICES MAY BE INCOMPLETE, NOT UP-TO-DATE OR NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE.

The Generative AI Services may sometimes provide inaccurate or offensive content that doesn't represent Groq's views. You agree to use discretion before relying on, publishing, or otherwise using Output provided by the Generative AI Services. If you provide any feedback pertaining to the accuracy, relevance, and effectiveness of the Outputs, you grant Groq a worldwide, non-revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to use your Feedback for the purpose of improving the Generative AI Services. You are responsible for making commercially reasonable efforts to make sure the Generative AI Services do not generate Outputs that contain offensive, inappropriate or illicit content. To this end, Groq strongly recommends that you implement appropriate moderation mechanisms for the model(s), by way of example, including the use of a system prompt that instructs the model to generate responses that are safe, respectful, and appropriate as well as providing clear and accessible guidelines for users. You are responsible for continuously monitoring and evaluating the model's performance to identify and address any issues or concerns arising from your use. Because, neither we nor the model owners warrant that the Output generated will not be offensive, inappropriate or illicit, you are solely responsible for the use of the Output and you shall in no way use the Output for any illicit or unlawful purpose and/or to harm others. Do not rely on the Generative AI Services for medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Any content regarding those topics is provided for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

When determining the retention period for User Data we take into account various criteria, such as the type of products and Services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, the impact on the Services we provide to you and mandatory retention periods.

11.Cross-Border Data Transfers

In accordance with the applicable law, we may transfer your Personal Information to countries other than the country where you are located, including to the U.S. or any other country in which we or our service providers maintain facilities for the purpose of conducting central operations such as billing activities. If you are located in Saudi Arabia, with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer your Personal Information to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction.

We may also transfer your Personal Information to countries for which adequacy decisions have been issued, but when transferring data in countries not recognized by the competent authority as providing an adequate level of data protection, we ensure that such transfers are conducted in accordance with the applicable law. This may include the implementation of appropriate safeguards, including the use of approved contractual protections for the transfer of Personal Information (such as clauses approved by the competent authority), or rely on third parties' Data Privacy Framework certifications, where applicable. If you are located in Saudi Arabia, you may contact us as specified below to obtain a copy of the safeguards we use to transfer Personal Information outside of Saudi Arabia. To the extent required by applicable law, only the minimum necessary Personal Information will be transferred outside of your jurisdiction.
