1. General

These terms of use (these “Terms of Use”), together with the related Privacy Policy (which can be found here: https://www.alpha-sense.com/privacy-policy/, the “Privacy Policy”), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by this reference, govern your access to and use of any website (including but not limited to https://alpha-sense.com and http://research.alpha-sense.com), mobile application, desktop application (including but not limited to the AlphaSense File Sync desktop application), plugin (including but not limited to the WebClipper plugin for internet browsers) or other media platform that references or links to these Terms of Use (collectively, the “Site”), however accessed or used, and constitute a legally binding contract between you and AlphaSense, Inc., a California corporation (together with its subsidiaries, if any, and other affiliates, “AlphaSense,” “we,” “us” or “our”). By signifying your acceptance of these Terms of Use, or by accessing or using the Site or allowing others to access or use the Site on your behalf or through the use of your AlphaSense user account (“Your Account”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (which may be updated from time to time, as discussed below). Accordingly, you should read and evaluate these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy carefully before accessing or using the Site, or allowing others to access or use the Site on your behalf, and you should consult your legal and other advisors and make your own informed decision as to whether and how to access or use the Site. Do not access or use the Site if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by the terms of these Terms of Use or any Service Agreement applicable to you (as discussed below in these Terms of Use).

These Terms of Use are in addition to any other legally binding agreement that you may have entered into with AlphaSense that is intended by AlphaSense to govern your use of the Site (each, a “Service Agreement”). To the extent any such Service Agreement is in writing and any terms thereof conflict with the terms of these Terms of Use, such terms of the applicable Service Agreement will govern.

Please consult these Terms of Use periodically as AlphaSense may, at any time, at its discretion and without notice, revise these Terms of Use. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the latest date any edits were made. By continuing to access or use the Site after these Terms of Use have been revised, you shall hereby automatically be deemed to be bound by such revised Terms of Use. If at any time you choose not to accept the terms of these Terms of Use, you should immediately discontinue your access to or use of the Site.

AlphaSense may, at its sole discretion, and at any time, discontinue the Site or any part thereof, with or without notice, or may prevent your use of the Site or any part thereof with or without notice to you. You agree that you do not have any rights in the Site and that AlphaSense will have no liability to you if the Site or any part thereof is discontinued or your ability to access the Site or any part thereof or any content you may have posted to any part of the Site is terminated. PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS OF USE LIMIT ALPHASENSE’S POTENTIAL LIABILITY TO YOU AND MAY SUBSTANTIVELY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS IN OTHER WAYS AND CONTAIN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST ALPHASENSE TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE (SEE “DISCLAIMER;” “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY;” “LIMITED TIME TO BRING YOUR CLAIM;” AND “AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE” PROVISIONS BELOW). UNLESS YOU OPT OUT: (I) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND (II) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SEEK RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
