4. DATA RIGHTS

4.1 Ownership of Customer Data

As between Customer and Wynter, Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data.

4.3 Aggregated Data

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Wynter may create Aggregated Data from Customer Data, Participant Responses, and platform activity. Wynter may collect, use, store, reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, commercialize, and otherwise exploit Aggregated Data for any lawful business purpose, including to:

Wynter retains all right, title, and interest in and to Aggregated Data.

Wynter may use Customer Data, Participant Responses, and related platform activity to operate, maintain, secure, analyze, and improve the Services, including to train, evaluate, and refine machine learning models, algorithms, and AI-powered features that are used to provide the Services.

Wynter will not:

  • Use Customer-identifiable proprietary content — such as Customer's specific test stimuli, brand assets, or audience targeting definitions — to train AI models that are made publicly available as standalone products outside the Services;
  • Disclose Customer-identifiable proprietary content to other Customers or to third parties, except as otherwise permitted in these Terms, as required by law, or with Customer's prior consent.

4.5 Participant Responses

As between Wynter and Customer, Wynter owns Participant Responses. Customer receives a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Participant Responses delivered to Customer through the Services for Customer's internal business purposes and for Customer's external communications (such as publishing aggregated or de-identified insights in marketing materials), subject to the confidentiality, acceptable use, and participant-protection provisions of these Terms.

4.6 Feedback

If Customer provides feedback, suggestions, feature requests, or ideas about the Services, Customer grants Wynter a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use, reproduce, and incorporate such feedback into the Services and other Wynter products without restriction or compensation.

4.7 Application to Previously Submitted Data

These Terms apply to Customer's use of the Services on and after the Last Updated date above, and also apply to Customer Data and Participant Responses previously submitted to or collected through the Services, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. By continuing to use the Services after the Last Updated date, Customer confirms its agreement that these Terms govern both current and previously submitted data.

Customer may contact support@wynter.com within thirty (30) days of the Last Updated date to request that certain provisions of Section 4.3 and 4.4 apply only prospectively to Customer's historical data. Wynter will review such requests in good faith consistent with its legal and operational obligations.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY

Each party agrees to protect the other party's Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information (and in no event less than reasonable care), and to use such information only as reasonably necessary to perform under these Terms.

"Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by one party to the other that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.

Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of these Terms by the receiving party; (b) was known to the receiving party before disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the other party's Confidential Information; (d) is rightfully obtained from a third party without confidentiality obligations; or (e) constitutes Aggregated Data as defined in Section 4.3.

Either party may disclose Confidential Information as required by law, provided that the disclosing party gives the other party prompt written notice where legally permitted to allow an opportunity to contest the disclosure.

6. ACCEPTABLE USE

Customer will not, and will not permit any user to:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code or underlying models of the Services;
  • Use the Services to send spam or unsolicited communications;
  • Request personally identifiable information from Participants outside of what the Services provide, or attempt to identify, contact, or recruit Participants outside of the Services;
  • Use the Services to violate applicable law or infringe any third-party rights;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Services, servers, or networks;
  • Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or make the Services available to third parties except as expressly permitted;

8. TERMINATION

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. Either party may terminate in accordance with the applicable order form or subscription agreement. Wynter may suspend or terminate Customer's access immediately, without notice or liability, for material breach of these Terms, non-payment, or conduct that risks harm to the Services, Wynter, other customers, or Participants.

Upon termination, Customer's right to access and use the Services ends. The following provisions survive termination: Section 4.1 (Ownership), 4.3 (Aggregated Data), 4.4 (Service Improvement and Machine Learning), 4.6 (Feedback), 5 (Confidentiality), 9 (Disclaimers), 10 (Limitation of Liability), 11 (Indemnification), 14 (Governing Law), and 15 (Miscellaneous).

9. DISCLAIMERS

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WYNTER DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WYNTER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT INSIGHTS OR PARTICIPANT RESPONSES WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S EXPECTATIONS.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WYNTER OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

WYNTER'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID BY CUSTOMER TO WYNTER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

11. INDEMNIFICATION

Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Wynter, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to: (a) Customer's breach of these Terms; (b) Customer Data or Customer's use of the Services; (c) Customer's violation of applicable law or third-party rights; or (d) Customer's negligence or willful misconduct.

12. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

Wynter may modify these Terms from time to time. If Wynter makes material changes, Wynter will provide notice by email or in-product notice at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect for existing paid customers (or a shorter period as required by law or to address security or legal concerns). Non-material changes are effective when posted. Customer's continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

13. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE SERVICES. You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records.

14. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The parties agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any disputes lie in the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and each party waives any objection to venue in such courts.

15. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms, together with any applicable order form, subscription agreement, data processing addendum, or additional terms referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements. No waiver of any provision will be effective unless in writing. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Customer may not assign these Terms without Wynter's prior written consent; Wynter may assign these Terms freely.
