Seal Terms of Service
The Harbor Seal Corporation · Effective September 10, 2026
These Terms of Service (these "Terms") are a binding agreement between The Harbor Seal Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Seal", "Company", "we", "us", or "our"), and the entity or individual that accesses or uses the Services ("Customer" or "you"). These Terms govern the website located at https://www.tryseal.co (the "Site"), the Seal software platform and any related applications, agents, integrations, and services we make available (collectively with the Site, the "Services").
PLEASE READ SECTION 8 (AI OUTPUTS, DERIVED FIGURES, AND MANDATORY HUMAN REVIEW), SECTION 9 (NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE), SECTION 14 (DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES), AND SECTION 15 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) CAREFULLY. THOSE SECTIONS DESCRIBE THE LIMITS OF WHAT THE SERVICES DO, REQUIRE YOU TO INDEPENDENTLY REVIEW AND VERIFY EVERYTHING THE SERVICES PRODUCE BEFORE YOU USE IT, AND LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU. SECTION 18.2 CONTAINS AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 18.2(f).
By clicking to accept these Terms, by executing an order form or similar document that references these Terms, or by accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, firm, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, and "Customer" and "you" refer to that entity. You must be at least 18 years old and must use the Services only for business purposes. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Services.
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 Authorized User. An individual employed or engaged by Customer whom Customer permits to access the Services under Customer's account.
1.2 Connected Account. Any third-party account, service, or data source that Customer authorizes Seal to access on Customer's behalf, including email accounts, calendars, contact databases, and document storage.
1.3 Customer Data. All data, documents, messages, files, records, and other content that Customer submits to the Services, that Seal retrieves from a Connected Account at Customer's direction, or that is generated on Customer's behalf through Customer's use of the Services, including Outputs.
1.4 Outputs. Any content the Services generate, draft, summarize, extract, classify, calculate, or otherwise produce, including drafted communications, summaries, extracted fields, records, notes, documents, and Derived Figures.
1.5 Derived Figures. Any numeric, financial, or quantitative value that the Services calculate, estimate, normalize, recast, adjust, extract, or otherwise derive from Customer Data. Derived Figures include, without limitation, revenue and expense figures, recast or adjusted earnings, seller's discretionary earnings, adjusted EBITDA, add-backs, owner compensation adjustments, working capital figures, inventory or asset values, growth rates, margins, multiples, ranges, and any indication or estimate of value.
2. THE SERVICES
2.1 Description. The Services are a software platform that assists business professionals in organizing, drafting, and managing client and transaction information. The Services use artificial intelligence and machine learning, including large language models operated by third-party providers, to read Customer Data, extract and organize information, and generate Outputs. The Services are a productivity and drafting tool. They do not perform, and are not a substitute for, the professional judgment, diligence, verification, or advice of Customer or Customer's advisors.
2.2 Drafting Only; No Transmission. Except where Customer expressly enables a feature that states otherwise, the Services prepare communications in draft form only and do not transmit, send, publish, or deliver any communication to any third party. Customer is solely responsible for reviewing, editing, approving, and transmitting any communication, and Customer is the sender of any communication that Customer transmits. Customer is solely responsible for compliance with all laws applicable to communications Customer sends, including the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and applicable state analogues.
2.3 Beta and Pilot Features. We may designate portions of the Services as pilot, beta, evaluation, early access, or preview. Such features are provided for evaluation only, may be changed or withdrawn at any time, may contain defects, and are provided without any warranty or service commitment of any kind.
2.4 Changes to the Services. We may modify, add to, or discontinue features of the Services. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to give Customer advance notice of any change that materially and adversely reduces core functionality Customer is then using. We will not delete Customer Data without notice except as permitted under Section 13.
3. ACCOUNTS AND AUTHORIZED USERS
3.1 Registration. Customer must register for an account to use the Services and must provide accurate, current, and complete registration information and keep it updated.
3.2 Credentials and Account Security. Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials and for all activity occurring under Customer's account, including activity by Authorized Users. Customer will notify us promptly at g@tryseal.co of any unauthorized access or suspected compromise of Customer's account.
3.3 Authorized Users. Customer may permit Authorized Users to access the Services. Customer is responsible for each Authorized User's compliance with these Terms, and any act or omission of an Authorized User that would breach these Terms is a breach by Customer.
4. LICENSE AND RESTRICTIONS
4.1 License Grant. Subject to these Terms, Seal grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license during the term to access and use the Services for Customer's internal business purposes.
4.2 Restrictions. Customer will not, and will not permit any third party to: (a) resell, sublicense, rent, lease, distribute, or otherwise make the Services available to any third party except as expressly permitted herein; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services, or attempt to derive source code or the underlying models, prompts, or algorithms, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law; (c) access or use the Services to build or assist in building a competing product or service, or to benchmark the Services for publication without our prior written consent; (d) circumvent or disable any usage limit, security feature, or access control; (e) use the Services to develop, train, or improve any machine learning or artificial intelligence model, other than through Customer's permitted use of the Services as offered; (f) introduce malicious code into the Services or interfere with their operation or integrity; or (g) remove or obscure any proprietary notice.
5. CONNECTED ACCOUNTS
5.1 Authorization. The Services may connect to Customer's email account or other third-party services in order to retrieve information. Customer must expressly authorize each connection. At the time of each connection, Customer will be presented with, and must affirmatively accept, a connection consent that restates the representations in Section 5.3. That consent is in addition to these Terms, and Seal will retain a record of it. Customer may revoke a connection at any time through the Services or through the applicable third-party provider's security settings.
5.2 Scope of Access. Where a third-party provider does not offer a narrower permission, an authorization may technically grant Seal access broader than what the Services actually retrieve. Seal will retrieve, store, and process only the data reasonably necessary to provide the Services, as described in our Privacy Policy. Customer is responsible for configuring any filtering, labeling, or scoping controls the Services make available to limit what is retrieved.
5.3 Customer Representations Regarding Connected Accounts. Customer represents and warrants, for each Connected Account it authorizes, that: (a) Customer owns the account or is authorized by its owner to connect it and to disclose its contents to a service provider; (b) connecting the account and permitting Seal to access its contents does not and will not breach any agreement, non-disclosure obligation, professional duty, or law applicable to Customer; (c) Customer has obtained all consents and provided all notices required for Seal to process the personal information contained in the account, including personal information of individuals who are not parties to these Terms; and (d) Customer has taken reasonable steps to exclude from the scope of access any information that Customer is not permitted to disclose to a service provider, including attorney-client privileged communications and information subject to a third-party confidentiality obligation that does not permit disclosure to service providers.
5.4 Customer Control. Customer determines which accounts to connect and what content is within them. Seal does not control and cannot determine whether any particular message, document, or record within a Connected Account is privileged, confidential, or subject to a third-party restriction. Customer is solely responsible for that determination.
5.5 Third-Party Terms. Customer's use of a Connected Account remains governed by its provider's terms. Seal's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other application adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google Workspace API data to develop, improve, or train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
6. CUSTOMER DATA
6.1 Ownership. As between the parties, Customer owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data. These Terms grant Seal no rights in Customer Data except the limited license in Section 6.2.
6.2 License to Seal. Customer grants Seal a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, display, process, and create derivative works of Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to (a) provide, maintain, secure, and support the Services for Customer, (b) prevent or address technical or security issues, and (c) comply with law. This license terminates when the relevant Customer Data is deleted in accordance with Section 13. Seal will not publicly display, publish, sell, rent, or otherwise disclose Customer Data except as permitted by these Terms or our Privacy Policy.
6.3 No Model Training. Seal will not use Customer Data to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop or improve any generalized machine learning or artificial intelligence model. Seal accesses third-party models through an inference routing provider and configures that provider so that Customer Data is routed only to models and providers whose terms prohibit retention of Customer Data beyond what is necessary to return a response and prohibit its use for model training.
6.4 Aggregated Data. Seal may generate and use aggregated, de-identified statistical data derived from operation of the Services (for example, feature usage counts and performance metrics), provided that such data does not identify Customer, any Authorized User, or any individual or business referenced in Customer Data, and is not derived from the substantive content of Customer Data. Seal will not disclose such data to advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers.
6.5 Customer Representations Regarding Customer Data. Customer represents and warrants that it has all rights, consents, and authority necessary to submit Customer Data to the Services and to permit Seal to process it as contemplated by these Terms, including with respect to information about individuals and entities who are not parties to these Terms.
6.6 Backups. Seal maintains routine backups of the Services as part of its ordinary operations but is not a system of record and does not guarantee the preservation of any particular data. Customer is responsible for maintaining its own records and for exporting Customer Data it wishes to retain.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
7.1 Seal IP. Seal and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all software, models, prompts, interfaces, documentation, and all intellectual property rights therein. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms, and there are no implied licenses.
7.2 Outputs. As between the parties, and subject to Seal's ownership of the Services under Section 7.1, Customer owns the Outputs generated for Customer through Customer's use of the Services, and Seal assigns to Customer any right, title, and interest it may have in such Outputs. Customer's ownership of Outputs is subject to Customer's compliance with these Terms.
7.3 Similar Outputs. Outputs are generated probabilistically and are not unique. The Services may generate the same or similar Outputs for other customers, and Seal retains the right to provide the Services to others, including customers who compete with Customer. Seal makes no representation that any Output is original or that its use will not infringe the rights of a third party.
7.4 Feedback. If Customer provides suggestions or feedback about the Services, Customer grants Seal a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without restriction or attribution. Feedback does not include Customer Data, which remains subject to Section 6.
8. AI OUTPUTS, DERIVED FIGURES, AND MANDATORY HUMAN REVIEW
8.1 Nature of the Outputs. The Services generate Outputs using probabilistic artificial intelligence models. Such models predict likely content; they do not verify facts, perform audits, or guarantee arithmetic. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, internally inconsistent, misattributed, or entirely fabricated, and may appear confident and well-formed while being wrong. This is an inherent characteristic of the technology and not a defect in the Services.
8.2 MANDATORY HUMAN REVIEW. CUSTOMER MUST INDEPENDENTLY REVIEW AND VERIFY EVERY OUTPUT AGAINST AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE MATERIAL BEFORE USING IT, RELYING ON IT, DISTRIBUTING IT, TRANSMITTING IT, OR PRESENTING IT TO ANY THIRD PARTY. HUMAN REVIEW BY A QUALIFIED PERSON IS A CONDITION OF CUSTOMER'S RIGHT TO USE THE SERVICES AND IS NOT OPTIONAL. THE SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO PRODUCE DRAFTS AND WORKING MATERIALS FOR A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL TO REVIEW, CORRECT, AND APPROVE. THE SERVICES ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR, AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR, UNREVIEWED OR AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING.
8.3 Derived Figures. Derived Figures are computational aids produced from data that Customer supplied or that was retrieved from a Connected Account at Customer's direction. Derived Figures are not audited, reviewed, compiled, or verified financial information. They are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or any other accounting or valuation standard. They are not valuations, appraisals, fairness opinions, solvency opinions, or opinions of value, and they must not be characterized as any of those things.
Seal does not represent or warrant that any Derived Figure is accurate, complete, correctly extracted, correctly calculated, appropriate for any particular transaction or counterparty, or consistent with any accounting standard or industry convention. Source documents may be misread, figures may be misclassified, adjustments may be applied incorrectly or inappropriately, and calculations may be wrong.
8.4 VERIFICATION OF DERIVED FIGURES. CUSTOMER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR INDEPENDENTLY VERIFYING EACH AND EVERY DERIVED FIGURE AGAINST THE UNDERLYING SOURCE DOCUMENTS, AND FOR CONFIRMING THAT EACH ADJUSTMENT, ADD-BACK, RECAST, NORMALIZATION, AND ASSUMPTION IS APPROPRIATE, BEFORE INCLUDING ANY DERIVED FIGURE IN ANY MARKETING DOCUMENT, OFFERING MATERIAL, TEASER, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION MEMORANDUM, FINANCIAL MODEL, VALUATION, LISTING, DISCLOSURE, REPRESENTATION, OR COMMUNICATION OF ANY KIND, AND BEFORE PROVIDING ANY DERIVED FIGURE TO ANY CLIENT, SELLER, BUYER, LENDER, INVESTOR, ADVISOR, OR OTHER PERSON.
8.5 NON-RELIANCE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS NOT RELYING, AND WILL NOT RELY, ON ANY OUTPUT OR DERIVED FIGURE AS THE BASIS FOR ANY PRICING DECISION, VALUATION, TRANSACTION DECISION, RECOMMENDATION, DISCLOSURE, OR REPRESENTATION THAT CUSTOMER MAKES TO ANY THIRD PARTY. CUSTOMER IS THE SOLE DECISION-MAKER WITH RESPECT TO ALL SUCH MATTERS AND EXERCISES ITS OWN INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT. ANY OUTPUT THAT CUSTOMER ADOPTS, APPROVES, DISTRIBUTES, OR TRANSMITS BECOMES CUSTOMER'S OWN WORK PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY.
8.6 NO LIABILITY FOR TRANSACTION OUTCOMES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SEAL WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, MISREPRESENTATION, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY TRANSACTION OUTCOME OR BUSINESS RESULT ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY OUTPUT OR DERIVED FIGURE, INCLUDING WHERE A TRANSACTION IS MISPRICED, REPRICED, RENEGOTIATED, DELAYED, ABANDONED, TERMINATED, OR COMPLETED ON TERMS LESS FAVORABLE THAN ANTICIPATED; WHERE A LISTING, TEASER, OFFERING DOCUMENT, OR OTHER MATERIAL CONTAINS AN ERROR; WHERE A COUNTERPARTY, CLIENT, LENDER, INVESTOR, OR REGULATOR ASSERTS THAT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY CUSTOMER WAS INACCURATE OR MISLEADING; OR WHERE CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY SUFFERS LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITY, DIMINISHED CONSIDERATION, REPUTATIONAL HARM, OR PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY. THE ALLOCATION OF RISK IN THIS SECTION IS A MATERIAL PART OF THE BARGAIN AND IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OF THE SERVICES.
8.7 Approval Controls. Where the Services present an approval, confirmation, or review step before an Output may be exported, downloaded, or marked final, Customer will use that step in good faith and will not circumvent it. Customer's completion of an approval step constitutes Customer's representation that a qualified person has reviewed the relevant Output.
9. NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
9.1 NO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. THE SERVICES DO NOT PROVIDE LEGAL, ACCOUNTING, TAX, AUDIT, VALUATION, APPRAISAL, INVESTMENT, SECURITIES, BROKERAGE, LENDING, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL OR REGULATED ADVICE, AND NO OUTPUT CONSTITUTES SUCH ADVICE. SEAL IS A SOFTWARE PROVIDER. SEAL IS NOT A BROKER-DEALER, INVESTMENT ADVISER, BUSINESS BROKER, REAL ESTATE BROKER, APPRAISER, ACCOUNTING FIRM, OR LAW FIRM, AND DOES NOT ACT AS AN AGENT, INTERMEDIARY, OR FIDUCIARY FOR CUSTOMER OR FOR ANY BUYER, SELLER, OR OTHER PARTICIPANT IN ANY TRANSACTION.
9.2 No Relationship With Customer's Clients. Seal has no relationship with, and owes no duty to, Customer's clients, counterparties, or any other third party. Customer alone is responsible for its professional, contractual, licensing, and regulatory obligations, including any duty of care, disclosure obligation, licensing requirement, or fiduciary duty Customer owes to any person. Nothing in the Services relieves Customer of any such obligation.
9.3 Customer Qualification. Customer represents that it and its Authorized Users hold all licenses, registrations, and qualifications required to perform the work for which they use the Services.
10. ACCEPTABLE USE
Customer will not use the Services to:
-
violate any law or regulation, or infringe or misappropriate any third-party right;
-
upload or process data that Customer lacks the right or consent to provide, including privileged material or information subject to a confidentiality obligation that does not permit disclosure to service providers;
-
generate or distribute content that is fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, harassing, or intentionally misleading, including any offering material, financial statement, or representation that Customer knows or should know to be inaccurate;
-
send unsolicited commercial messages in violation of applicable law;
-
process the personal information of any individual under 18, or any special category of personal information for which Customer has not obtained the required consents;
-
attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services, other customers' data, or any connected system; or
-
use automated means to scrape, mine, or extract data from the Services other than through documented interfaces.
We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend access under Section 13.5. We have no obligation to monitor or review Customer Data or Outputs, and any monitoring we do perform does not create a duty to Customer or any third party.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY
11.1 Definition. "Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by one party ("Discloser") to the other ("Recipient") that is designated confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given its nature and the circumstances. Customer Data is Customer's Confidential Information. The Services, and non-public information about their design, security, and pricing, are Seal's Confidential Information.
11.2 Obligations. Recipient will (a) use Discloser's Confidential Information only to perform under these Terms, (b) protect it using at least the degree of care it uses for its own confidential information of like importance and in no event less than reasonable care, and (c) disclose it only to its employees, contractors, and service providers who need it for that purpose and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these.
11.3 Exclusions. Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes public through no fault of Recipient, was rightfully known to Recipient without restriction before disclosure, is rightfully received from a third party without restriction, or is independently developed without use of the Confidential Information.
11.4 Compelled Disclosure. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent legally compelled, provided it gives Discloser prompt notice where legally permitted and reasonable cooperation in seeking protective treatment.
11.5 Third-Party Confidentiality Obligations. Customer acknowledges that Seal is not a party to, and assumes no obligations under, any non-disclosure agreement or engagement letter between Customer and any third party unless Seal has executed it. Customer will not represent to any third party that Seal is bound by any such agreement.
12. FEES
12.1 Fees. The Services are provided at $300 per month per Authorized User (the "Standard Fee"). Fees are billed in advance for each billing period.
12.2 Discounts. Seal may offer a discount, promotional rate, credit, or free period at its sole discretion, including during a pilot or evaluation period. Any such offer applies only for the period and on the terms Seal specifies, does not change the Standard Fee, and creates no entitlement to that or any future discount. When a discount or free period ends, the Standard Fee then in effect applies. Seal will give notice of that change under Section 12.9 before it takes effect.
12.3 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, VAT, and similar taxes, excluding taxes on Seal's income.
12.4 Non-Payment. We may suspend the Services for undisputed fees more than 15 days past due, following notice.
12.5 Automatic Renewal. If Customer subscribes to a recurring plan, the subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, for a further period of the same length, at the then-current fee, until cancelled under Section 12.7. Before we collect any payment, we will present the following in a clear and conspicuous manner, separately from the other terms and immediately adjacent to the point of consent: that the subscription renews automatically until cancelled; the length of each renewal period; the amount, or the range of amounts, that will be charged and how often; the deadline for cancelling to avoid the next charge; and how to cancel. We will obtain Customer's express affirmative consent to those automatic renewal terms specifically, and not merely to these Terms as a whole, and we will retain a record of that consent.
12.6 Acknowledgment. Promptly after Customer consents, we will send an acknowledgment, in a form Customer can retain, restating the automatic renewal terms, the cancellation deadline, and the cancellation mechanism.
12.7 Cancellation. Customer may cancel a subscription at any time, without speaking to anyone, using a cancellation control available in the Services, and by any other medium through which Customer subscribed. Cancelling will always be at least as easy as subscribing was. Cancellation takes effect as described in Section 13.2.
12.8 Renewal Reminders. For any subscription with an initial paid term of one year or longer, and at least annually for any longer-running subscription, we will send Customer a reminder identifying the Services, the amount and frequency of the charge, the cancellation deadline, and how to cancel. For a subscription with an initial term of one year or longer, that reminder will be sent no fewer than fifteen (15) and no more than forty-five (45) days before the cancellation deadline.
12.9 Price Change Notice. We will give Customer clear and conspicuous notice of any increase in fees, or other material change to the subscription, at least fifteen (15) days and no more than thirty (30) days before it takes effect. The notice will state the new amount, when it takes effect, and how to cancel before then. A fee increase applies only from the start of the next billing period following the notice period.
13. TERM, TERMINATION, AND DELETION
13.1 Term. These Terms begin when Customer first accepts them and continue until terminated in accordance with this Section.
13.2 Cancellation by Customer. Customer may cancel at any time using the mechanism in Section 12.7 or by closing its account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of Customer's then-current billing period. Customer's access to the Services continues through the end of that period, and Customer will not be charged for any period after it.
13.3 NO PARTIAL-PERIOD REFUNDS. FEES ARE BILLED IN ADVANCE AND ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. CANCELLING DOES NOT END THE CURRENT BILLING PERIOD EARLY, AND SEAL DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS, CREDITS, OR PRORATION FOR ANY UNUSED PORTION OF A BILLING PERIOD, WHETHER OR NOT CUSTOMER USES THE SERVICES DURING IT. THIS DOES NOT LIMIT ANY REFUND REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR ANY REFUND SEAL ELECTS TO GIVE IN ITS DISCRETION.
13.4 Termination by Seal for Convenience. Seal may terminate these Terms for convenience on 30 days' written notice. If Seal does so, Seal will refund any prepaid fees covering the period after termination takes effect.
13.5 Suspension and Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding Sections 13.2 and 13.4, we may suspend or terminate Customer's access immediately if Customer materially breaches these Terms, if Customer's use poses a security or legal risk to Seal or any other party, or if required by law. Except where immediate action is necessary, we will give notice and, where the breach is curable, a reasonable opportunity to cure. Where we terminate for cause, Section 13.3 applies and no refund is due.
13.6 Effect of Termination. On termination, or on expiry of the final billing period following cancellation, Customer's right to access the Services ends. For 30 days after that date, Customer may request an export of Customer Data in a commercially reasonable format.
13.7 Deletion. Following the export period, Seal will delete Customer Data within 30 days from the Services and from every system through which Customer Data is made available to Customer or to any other customer, and within 90 days from routine backups.
Seal may retain a copy of Customer Data in an internal analytical environment that does not form part of the Services, for no longer than twelve (12) months after the deletion date, solely to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Services. Any such retained copy is access-restricted, is not made available to any other customer, is not used to provide the Services to any other customer, and is not used to train, fine-tune, or improve any machine learning or artificial intelligence model. Seal will not retain in that environment any data retrieved from a Connected Account whose provider terms prohibit such retention or restrict access to it, including data obtained through the Google Workspace APIs, which is deleted on the schedule in the preceding paragraph without exception.
Seal may also retain aggregated, de-identified data permitted under Section 6.4, records required for billing, tax, or legal compliance, and security and abuse logs, and may retain Customer Data where retention is required by law. On Customer's written request, Seal will confirm in writing that Customer Data has been deleted in accordance with this Section. Customer may request deletion of specific Customer Data at any time through the Services or by written request.
13.8 Survival. Sections 1, 4.2, 6.1, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13.3, 13.6 through 13.8, and 14 through 18 survive termination, and Section 18.2 survives any expiration or termination of these Terms.
14. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
14.1 THE SERVICES AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SEAL AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
14.2 WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, SEAL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES OR ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, RELIABLE, ERROR-FREE, ARITHMETICALLY CORRECT, FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR TRANSACTION, OR SUITABLE FOR PRESENTATION TO ANY THIRD PARTY, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. SEAL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY DERIVED FIGURE IS CORRECT.
14.3 Third-Party Services. The Services depend on third-party providers, including model providers, cloud infrastructure, and the providers of Connected Accounts. Seal is not responsible for the availability, performance, acts, or omissions of those providers, or for changes they make to their services, models, or terms.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply. In that case, any implied warranty is limited to the shortest period permitted by law.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
15.1 EXCLUSION OF INDIRECT DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST OPPORTUNITY, LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, DIMINISHED TRANSACTION VALUE, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
15.2 GENERAL LIABILITY CAP. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 15.3, SEAL'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, FOR ALL CLAIMS COMBINED AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO SEAL IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, AND (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100) (THE "GENERAL CAP"). THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS DOES NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.
15.3 ENHANCED CAP FOR CONFIDENTIALITY AND INDEMNITY. EACH PARTY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR (A) BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 11 AND (B) ITS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 16 WILL NOT EXCEED THREE (3) TIMES THE GENERAL CAP (THE "ENHANCED CAP"). THE ENHANCED CAP IS NOT ADDITIVE TO THE GENERAL CAP; THE PARTIES' TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS OF EVERY KIND WILL NOT EXCEED THE ENHANCED CAP.
15.4 Exceptions. The limitations in Sections 15.1 through 15.3 do not apply to a party's fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or to Customer's payment obligations or Customer's breach of Sections 4.2 or 10.
15.5 Basis of the Bargain. The parties agree that the limitations in Sections 8, 14, and 15 are an essential basis of the bargain between them, that they reflect a reasonable allocation of risk given the price of the Services and the nature of a probabilistic drafting tool, and that these limitations apply even if a limited remedy is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply.
16. INDEMNIFICATION
16.1 By Customer. Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seal and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, demand, action, or proceeding, and all resulting losses, damages, liabilities, settlements, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or relating to: (a) Customer Data, including any claim that Customer Data infringes a third-party right or was collected, connected, or provided without required rights or consents; (b) any Output that Customer reviewed, adopted, distributed, transmitted, or presented to any third party, including any claim by a client, seller, buyer, lender, investor, or regulator that information Customer provided was inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading; (c) Customer's use of the Services in violation of these Terms or applicable law; (d) any communication Customer sends; and (e) any breach by Customer of its professional, licensing, regulatory, or fiduciary obligations.
16.2 Procedure. Seal will promptly notify Customer of any claim, give Customer sole control of the defense (provided that Customer may not settle any claim in a manner that imposes an obligation or admission on Seal without Seal's written consent), and provide reasonable cooperation at Customer's expense. Seal may participate with counsel of its own choosing at its own expense.
16.3 By Seal. Seal provides no indemnity to Customer under these Terms.
17. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will provide at least 30 days' notice by email to the address associated with Customer's account or by prominent notice in the Services before it takes effect. Changes apply prospectively. Customer's continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If Customer does not agree to a change, Customer's remedy is to stop using the Services and terminate before the effective date. We will retain a record of each version and the version Customer accepted.
18. GENERAL
18.1 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
18.2 Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. This Section governs any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services (a "Dispute").
(a) Informal Resolution. Before initiating arbitration, the initiating party will send written notice of the Dispute to the other party describing the claim and the relief sought, and the parties will confer in good faith for 30 days. This is a condition precedent to arbitration, and limitations periods are tolled during it.
(b) Agreement to Arbitrate. If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days, it will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in New York, New York under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules for claims under $250,000 and its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules otherwise, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
(c) Exceptions. Either party may (i) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies and remains there, and (ii) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York for infringement or misuse of intellectual property or breach of confidentiality obligations. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for such claims and for enforcement of any arbitral award.
(d) Arbitrator Authority. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes subject to arbitration, except that any dispute about the enforceability of subsection (e) will be decided by a court and not the arbitrator. The arbitrator will issue a reasoned written award and will apply the governing law specified in Section 18.1.
(e) JURY AND CLASS WAIVER. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON. IF THIS SUBSECTION IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THAT CLAIM OR REQUEST WILL BE SEVERED AND LITIGATED IN THE COURTS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION (c), AND ALL OTHER DISPUTES WILL REMAIN IN ARBITRATION.
(f) 30-Day Right to Opt Out. Customer may opt out of subsections (b) through (e) by sending written notice to g@tryseal.co within 30 days after first accepting these Terms, stating Customer's name and a clear statement that Customer opts out of arbitration. Opting out affects no other part of these Terms. If Customer opts out, Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts specified in subsection (c).
(g) Fees. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator finds a claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. Arbitration fees are allocated under the applicable JAMS rules.
18.3 Limitations Period. Any claim arising from or relating to these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or it is permanently barred, except where a longer period is required by law.
18.4 Assignment. Customer may not assign these Terms without Seal's prior written consent, except to a successor in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided the successor is not a competitor of Seal. Seal may assign these Terms freely. Any other attempted assignment is void.

18.7 Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms create no partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship.

18.10 Electronic Communications. Customer consents to receive communications from Seal electronically, and agrees that electronic notices, agreements, and disclosures satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.
18.11 Entire Agreement; Severability; Waiver. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, any connection consent given under Section 5.1, and any Order Form referencing these Terms, are the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings on that subject. Any pre-printed or additional terms in a Customer purchase order are void. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions remain in effect. No waiver is effective unless in writing, and no failure to enforce is a waiver. "Including" means "including without limitation." Section headings are for convenience only.
18.12 Privacy. Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy at https://www.tryseal.co/privacy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
18.13 NO RELIANCE ON PRE-CONTRACTUAL STATEMENTS.

NO SUCH STATEMENT CREATES ANY WARRANTY, AND SECTION 14 GOVERNS.
