Terms and Conditions

Part A — General Terms and Conditions for Services

The purchaser of these services (“Client”) from the company (“Vendor”) accepts the following terms and conditions (these terms and conditions, together with the selected Services, this “Agreement”) with respect to the Services:

Scope and Price:

Vendor will perform the selected Services for which Client has pre-paid or engaged (collectively with the terms and conditions herein, the “Services”). The price due for each Service is the offered priced set forth with the selected Services and is non-negotiable. Additional Services must be requested via a separate order. Services are subject to all applicable taxes. Payment term (due date) is 14 days.

Cancellation of Services:

If Client requests cancellation of Services, Vendor will use reasonable efforts to cancel the Services but does not guarantee such cancellation. Client remains liable for all aspects regarding the ordering of and payment for any Services completed within forty-eight hours of Client’s cancellation request.

Representations and Warranties:

Each party represents and warrants: (a) its entering into an agreement for the Services included in the agreement has been authorized by all necessary corporate action; does not violate the terms of any law, regulation, or court order to which such party is subject, or the terms of any material agreement to which the party or any of its assets may be subject; and is not subject to the consent or approval of any third party; (b) Services are a valid and binding obligation of the representing party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms; and (c) it is duly organized and a validly existing entity in good standing under the laws of its state of formation and has the requisite power and authority to request and perform the Services.

Confidential and Proprietary Information:

“Confidential Information” means all Proprietary Information (as defined below), all “non-public personal information” provided in connection with the Services, as such term is defined under Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-102, 113 Stat. 1138), as it may be amended from time to time, the regulations promulgated thereunder or other applicable law, collectively “Privacy Laws,” and all data, trade secrets, business information and other information which has been disclosed to either party, or to which either party has access, in connection with the Services. “Proprietary Information” means all information related to the Services and all resulting work product including, without limitation, all data, designs, software, programs, card decks, tapes, ideas, concepts, techniques, inventions, property or contractual rights, proprietary rights, modifications and enhancements, together with all applicable rights to patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets.

Each of the parties on behalf of itself and its employees, officers, directors, affiliates and agents, agrees that all Confidential Information shall be held in confidence to the same extent and using at least the same degree of care as each party uses to protect its own confidential or proprietary information but in no event less than reasonable care. Each party is not to disclose, publish, release, transfer, or otherwise make available Confidential Information in any form to, or for the use or benefit of, any other person or entity. Each party, however, will be permitted to disclose relevant aspects of the Confidential Information: (a) to its officers, directors, agents, subcontractors, and employees, and to third parties to the extent necessary to perform the Services; and (b) as required by law provided that, prior to any disclosure, the party subject to the requirement shall (i) notify the other party of any legal compulsion or obligation of disclosure immediately, and (ii) cooperate with the other party’s lawful efforts to resist, limit or delay disclosure. If applicable law now or hereafter in effect poses a higher standard of confidentiality to the Confidential Information, such standard shall prevail over the provisions of this section.

Nothing in this Section shall prohibit or limit either party’s use of Confidential Information (a) previously known to it without restriction on the use of such information; (b) independently developed by it; (c) rightfully acquired by it from a third party with full legal right to disclose such information; (d) approved for disclosure by the affected party; or (e) which becomes part of the public domain through no breach of the terms herein. In the event of any breach of the obligations under this section, each party acknowledges that the other party would have no adequate remedy at law and that in addition to such other remedies as may be available to the other party, the other party may obtain injunctive relief. The provisions of this section shall survive indefinitely.

Indemnification:

Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Vendor and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from all claims, lawsuits, fines, penalties, or liabilities by a third party for damages, injuries, losses, expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of any kind whatsoever (“Losses”) incurred in the defense, arising out of or related to (a) non-compliance with the material terms set forth herein or the breach of any warranty or representation set forth herein; (b) the negligent, reckless, willful or fraudulent acts or omissions by Client or its employees, officers, directors, agents, contractors or representatives; (c) an infringement of the proprietary rights of any third party by Client or its employees, officers, directors, agents, contractors or representatives; (d) the reliance by Vendor upon false, inaccurate or incorrect information furnished by Client; or (e) the reliance by Vendor upon the legal right of Client to request the Services at the subject property.

Vendor shall indemnify and hold harmless Client and its respective employees, officers, directors, and agent, successors and permitted assigns from all Losses incurred in the defense, arising out of or related to (a) non-compliance with the material terms set forth herein or the breach of any warranty or representation set forth herein; or (b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Vendor or its employees, officers, directors, agents, or contractors, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Vendor’s indemnification obligations under this section are subject to the Limitation of Liability set forth below. Nothing herein shall obligate Vendor to indemnify and hold harmless from and against any Losses to the extent and degree caused by an intentional, negligent or reckless act or omission of Client. The indemnity obligations of Vendor shall not extend to the incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages of Client.

The indemnity provided herein shall survive for the longer of the applicable statute of limitations for such claim or indefinitely to the extent liability associated with such claim may be subject to indemnification and/or defense pursuant to an insurance policy. In the event any disputes arise relating to the indemnification terms herein, the parties agree to submit the dispute to arbitration, in accordance with the laws of Ohio. Such dispute will be brought in the jurisdiction of Ohio. If either party commences legal or arbitral proceedings to enforce the provisions herein, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other reasonable costs actually incurred in connection with such enforcement, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and costs of investigation and litigation/arbitration.

General:

Client may not assign any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Vendor. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Client expressly acknowledges and agrees that there may be circumstances that prevent or hinder the performance of Services. Vendor shall not be liable for damages for delay of its obligations herein arising out of causes beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, acts of God or public enemy, acts of Government, fires, floods, epidemics or pandemics, strikes, labor disturbances or freight embargoes. Vendor will provide notice to Client of any such delay.

The parties agree that any dispute between the parties hereto shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (or if not applicable, the applicable state law), and the Rules of Practice and Procedure for the Arbitration of Commercial Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Such dispute will be brought in the jurisdiction of Ohio, with Ohio law governing. Any demand for arbitration shall include detail sufficient to establish the nature of the dispute and shall be delivered to the other party concurrent with delivery to AAA. Nothing in this Section shall limit the right of either party to obtain from a court provisional or ancillary remedies before, during or after the pendency of any such arbitration proceeding.

This Agreement and the provision of Services shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio. Each party hereby submits to the jurisdiction of such courts, and waives any objection to venue with respect to actions brought in such courts.

Limitation of Liability:

EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AND EACH PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, OR LOST BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

EXCEPT FOR CLIENT’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS AND EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CLIENT TO VENDOR FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO THE SERVICES GOVERNED BY THIS PART A; ANY SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO A PARTICULAR SERVICE MAY PROVIDE A DIFFERENT LIMITATION FOR THAT SERVICE.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of Client and Vendor with respect to the subject matter herein, and any prior agreement(s) between Client and Vendor regarding such subject matter is superseded and shall hereafter have no force or effect. Other than those remedies specifically disclaimed herein, all remedies set forth herein shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason, then such provision shall be severed from the remaining provisions of this Agreement and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions.

CLIENT EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN FOR SERVICES AND UNDERSTANDS THE RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. BY CONTINUING TO USE, ACCESS AND/OR REQUEST SERVICES VIA BOOSTUSA.COM, CLIENT EXPRESSLY CONSENTS TO BE BOUND BY THE FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND GRANTS TO VENDOR THE RIGHTS SET FORTH HEREIN.

Part B — AI QA Agent Supplemental Terms

These AI QA Agent Supplemental Terms (“AI Terms”) govern access to and use of the AI QA Agent service (the “Service”) provided by Boost USA LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Boost USA,” “we,” “us”), to the customer identified in the applicable order or account registration (“Client,” “you”). By accessing the Service, creating an account, or submitting payment information, you agree to these AI Terms.

B.1 Scope and Relationship to the General Terms

B.1.1 These AI Terms apply only to the AI QA Agent service. They supplement, and form part of, the General Terms and Conditions for Services set out in Part A above.

B.1.2 Part A applies in full to the Service except where these AI Terms expressly provide otherwise. Where these AI Terms conflict with Part A in respect of the Service, these AI Terms control for the Service only. Part A continues to apply without modification to all other services provided by Boost USA.

B.1.3 In these AI Terms, “Boost USA,” “we,” and “us” refer to the party defined as “Vendor” in Part A, and “Client” and “you” have the meaning given to “Client” in Part A.

B.2 Service Description

The Service is an artificial-intelligence-assisted quality assurance tool that reviews inspection content (including photographs, form entries, and inspector responses) to identify potential discrepancies, omissions, or errors (“Flags”). The Service operates on a best-efforts basis to surface potential issues for the Client’s review. The Service is provided as software-as-a-service; the Client operates the tool and reviews its output.

B.3 Nature of the Service; No Guarantee of Accuracy

Plain-English summary (provided for convenience only; the terms in this Section B.3 control):
The AI QA Agent is a helper tool, not a replacement for your own quality checks. It will not catch every error, and it may sometimes flag things that are fine. You remain responsible for reviewing your own inspections. We also use the inspection data and photographs you submit, in anonymized form, to train and improve the tool.

The Service is an assistive tool, not a substitute for human quality assurance, professional judgment, or the Client’s own review processes.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• (a) The Service uses machine-learning models that are probabilistic and will not identify every discrepancy, error, or omission, and may generate Flags that are inaccurate, incomplete, or not relevant (“false positives” and “false negatives”).

• (b) Boost USA makes no warranty or representation that the Service will detect all errors, achieve any particular accuracy rate, or produce any specific outcome.

• (c) The Client remains solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and regulatory compliance of its inspections, reports, and deliverables, and for any decisions made in reliance on the Service.

• (d) The Client is responsible for independently reviewing all Flags and all content the Service does not Flag.

• (e) Any accuracy target, quality standard, or similar objective described in Boost USA’s marketing or informational materials is a statement of operational goal and process, and is not a warranty, guarantee, or representation of any particular result.

B.4 Not a Compliance or Professional Certification

The Service does not certify compliance with any law, regulation, industry standard, or contractual requirement, and does not constitute professional, legal, insurance, or regulatory advice. Flags (and the absence of Flags) are informational only. The Client must not represent to any third party that use of the Service establishes regulatory compliance or certifies the accuracy of any inspection, and the Client remains solely responsible for all professional and regulatory determinations.

B.5 Human Review Requirement

B.5.1 The Service is designed to be used together with human review. The Client will ensure that a qualified reviewer evaluates each Flag, and the content the Service does not Flag, before any inspection report or deliverable is finalized or submitted to a third party, including any insurer or underwriter.

B.5.2 The Client will not represent to any third party that inspection content has been verified, certified, or approved by the Service alone, or that output of the Service has been reviewed by Boost USA personnel unless Boost USA is separately engaged to provide that review under a written order.

B.5.3 Where Boost USA is separately engaged to provide human quality-control review of Flags, that engagement is a distinct service governed by Part A and the applicable order, and does not alter the disclaimers in Sections B.3, B.4, B.16, or B.17.

B.6 Use of Client Data to Train the Models

The Client acknowledges and agrees that Boost USA uses the inspection content and photographs the Client submits to train, refine, and improve the Service and its underlying models. Before such use, Boost USA anonymizes the data by removing or obscuring information that directly identifies the Client, the property, or individuals, so that the data used for training is not reasonably attributable to the Client. This right is described further in the license granted in Section B.13 and survives termination, because a trained model cannot be made to “un-learn.”

B.7 Third-Party AI Providers and Subprocessors

B.7.1 The Service is delivered using third-party artificial-intelligence, hosting, and cloud-infrastructure providers that process Client Data on our behalf as subprocessors in order to provide the Service.

B.7.2 Boost USA remains responsible for each subprocessor’s performance of the obligations set out in these AI Terms and in Part A, and will impose on each subprocessor confidentiality and data-protection obligations no less protective than those contained in these AI Terms and Part A.

B.7.3 Boost USA maintains a current list of subprocessors used to deliver the Service and will provide that list to the Client on written request.

B.7.4 Boost USA contracts with its third-party AI providers on terms that do not permit those providers to use Client Data to train their own general-purpose or publicly available models.

B.8 Data Security

B.8.1 Boost USA maintains an information-security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Client Data against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, consistent with the certifications and controls described on our Compliance and Security page.

B.8.2 Boost USA will notify the Client without undue delay after becoming aware of a confirmed security incident affecting that Client’s Client Data, and will provide information reasonably available to it to support the Client’s own notification obligations.

B.8.3 The Client is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its account credentials and for all activity occurring under its account.

B.9 Data Retention and Deletion

B.9.1 Boost USA retains Client Data for as long as the Client maintains an active account or an unused prepaid tranche, and thereafter in accordance with its internal retention schedule.

B.9.2 Following termination, and on the Client’s written request, Boost USA will delete or return Client Data within thirty (30) days, except for: (a) anonymized data already incorporated into trained models as described in Section B.6, which cannot be reversed; and (b) copies retained in routine system backups or as required by applicable law, which remain subject to the confidentiality obligations in Part A and Section B.13. Backup copies are overwritten on Boost USA’s standard backup cycle.

B.10 Delivery Model, Pricing, and Billing

B.10.1 Consumption-based pricing. The Service is sold in prepaid tranches measured by the number of photos or items processed (for example, blocks of 5,000 or 10,000), at the rates set forth in the applicable order or as posted to the Client’s account. The payment term stated in Part A (“Scope and Price”) does not apply to the Service; the prepaid tranche model in this Section B.10 applies instead.

B.10.2 Payment method on file. The Client authorizes Boost USA to keep a valid payment card (or other approved payment method) on file and to charge the applicable fee for each tranche.

B.10.3 Automatic replenishment. When a tranche is depleted, the Client authorizes Boost USA to charge the payment method on file for the next tranche so that the Service continues without interruption, unless the Client has disabled the Service or notified Boost USA in writing to suspend replenishment.

B.10.4 Usage measurement. Consumption is measured by Boost USA’s systems and displayed on the Client dashboard. Absent manifest error, Boost USA’s usage records are conclusive.

B.10.5 Non-refundable. Prepaid tranches and processed usage are non-refundable except where required by law.

B.10.6 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes, which are the Client’s responsibility.

B.10.7 Failed payment. If a charge fails, Boost USA may suspend the Service until payment is resolved.

B.11 Client Dashboard

Boost USA provides a dashboard displaying relevant usage and quality metrics (such as photos processed, items caught, and questions caught). Dashboard data is provided for informational and billing-reference purposes and is subject to Section B.10.4. Dashboard metrics are operational measures generated by Boost USA’s systems and are not audited or independently validated.

B.12 Client Responsibilities

The Client will: (a) use the Service only for lawful inspection quality-assurance purposes; (b) maintain its own independent quality-assurance and compliance processes; (c) ensure it has all rights necessary to submit inspection content (including photographs) to the Service and to permit its use as described in Sections B.6 and B.7; and (d) not use the Service to build a competing product, reverse-engineer the models, or resell the Service without Boost USA’s written consent.

B.13 Data, Confidentiality, and License

B.13.1 Client ownership. The Client retains ownership of the inspection content it submits (“Client Data”).

B.13.2 License to Boost USA. The Client grants Boost USA a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to host, process, and use Client Data to provide, maintain, and improve the Service, including to train and refine the underlying models in anonymized form as described in Section B.6. The rights granted for anonymized data used in trained models survive termination of these AI Terms.

B.13.3 Confidentiality. The confidentiality obligations set out in Part A (“Confidential and Proprietary Information”) apply in full to the Service. For the avoidance of doubt and by express agreement of the parties, data that has been anonymized in accordance with Section B.6 and used for model training is not subject to those restrictions, to the extent such data is no longer reasonably attributable to the Client, the property, or any individual.

B.14 Intellectual Property

The Service, the underlying models, software, dashboards, documentation, and all improvements are and remain the exclusive property of Boost USA. No rights are granted except the limited right to use the Service during the term.

B.15 Publicity and Use of Performance Data

B.15.1 Neither party will use the other party’s name, logo, or trademarks in any public marketing material without the other party’s prior written consent.

B.15.2 Boost USA will not publish, in any case study, marketing material, or public statement, any Client-specific volume, accuracy, detection, rejection, or other performance metric derived from that Client’s use of the Service without the Client’s prior written consent, whether or not the Client is identified by name.

B.15.3 Boost USA may publish aggregated, de-identified statistics derived from use of the Service across multiple clients, provided such statistics cannot reasonably be attributed to any individual client.

B.15.4 Any performance metric published by Boost USA in relation to the Service will be presented as a self-reported operational measure and not as an audited, certified, or independently validated result.

B.16 Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOOST USA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BOOST USA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT IT WILL IDENTIFY ANY OR ALL DISCREPANCIES.

B.17 Limitation of Liability

B.17.1 No indirect damages. Neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, or lost business, arising out of or relating to the Service, even if advised of the possibility.

B.17.2 Liability cap. Boost USA’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these AI Terms or the Service will not exceed the fees paid by the Client to Boost USA for the Service during the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This cap applies to the Service only and does not limit or modify any liability arising under Part A in respect of other services.

B.17.3 Errors and omissions. Without limiting the above, Boost USA will have no liability for any discrepancy, error, or omission the Service fails to detect, or for any Flag that proves inaccurate. Responsibility for inspection accuracy rests with the Client.

B.18 Indemnification

B.18.1 In addition to the indemnities in Part A, the Client will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Boost USA from third-party claims arising from (a) the Client’s inspections, reports, or deliverables; (b) the Client’s use of or reliance on the Service or any Flag (or absence of a Flag); or (c) the Client’s breach of these AI Terms.

B.18.2 The mutual indemnity provisions of Part A continue to apply to the Service, subject to the limitations in Section B.17.

B.19 Term, Suspension, and Termination

B.19.1 These AI Terms apply while the Client has an active account or unused prepaid tranche.

B.19.2 Either party may terminate the Service for convenience on thirty (30) days’ written notice; the Client may disable the Service at any time via the dashboard.

B.19.3 Boost USA may suspend or terminate the Service immediately for non-payment, misuse, or breach.

B.19.4 Sections B.3, B.4, B.6, B.9, B.13, B.14, B.15, B.16, B.17, B.18, and B.20 survive termination of these AI Terms.

B.20 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These AI Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these AI Terms or the Service will be resolved in accordance with the binding arbitration provisions set out in the “General” section of Part A, which apply to these AI Terms in full.

B.21 Changes to These Supplemental Terms

Boost USA may update these AI Terms by posting a revised version to this page. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of the change constitutes acceptance. Where a change materially reduces the Client’s rights, Boost USA will provide reasonable advance notice to the Client’s account contact.

B.22 Miscellaneous and Contact

B.22.1 These AI Terms, together with Part A and any applicable order, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Service and supersede prior discussions regarding the Service. The entire-agreement provision in Part A is modified to this extent only.

B.22.2 If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. The Client may not assign these AI Terms without Boost USA’s consent; Boost USA may assign freely.

B.22.3 Questions about these AI Terms may be directed to Boost USA LLC at Joe.Drozda@boost-usa.com or 614-363-1704.

BY ACCESSING THE AI QA AGENT SERVICE, CREATING AN ACCOUNT, OR SUBMITTING PAYMENT INFORMATION, CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THESE AI QA AGENT SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS, INCLUDING THE DISCLAIMERS IN SECTIONS B.3 AND B.16 AND THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN SECTION B.17, AND EXPRESSLY CONSENTS TO BE BOUND BY THEM TOGETHER WITH THE GENERAL TERMS IN PART A.
