Use, reproduction, modification, distribution, or storage of any Content for other than purposes of using the Service is expressly prohibited without prior written permission from us.

Esther.ai relies on parents and guardians to ensure that minors only use Esther.ai if they can understand their rights and responsibilities as laid out in these Terms of Service and in our Privacy Policy.

In the event that you are a school or teacher and want your students, who are under the age of thirteen (13), to create Esther.ai accounts – you agree that you are responsible for complying with all local laws concerning online privacy protection and minors. We will rely upon you to obtain any required consent or approval from the parent or guardian of any student covered by such laws, and, as a condition to your and your students’ use of Esther.ai, you agree that you will be responsible for complying with such laws.

Billing | Payment Terms

If You choose to subscribe to a Paid Plan, You shall pay fees (described below) to Esther.ai. Upon selection of a Paid Plan, You will provide Esther.ai with the necessary billing information (“Billing Data”).

The Professional/monthly plan is paid as a monthly subscription fee (“Subscription Fee”) via your Account Billing page (Settings > Billing). Credit cards are the only payment mechanism Esther.ai will accept for payment of this Paid Plan. Esther.ai is available in US Dollars, UK Pounds and the Euro.

If you select a Paid Plan, You must provide current, complete and accurate Billing Data. You must promptly update all Billing Data to keep Your Account current, complete, and accurate (such as a change in billing address and, if on the Professional/monthly plan, your credit card number or credit card expiration date).

You must promptly notify Esther.ai if You become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of Your name or password. If You fail to provide any of the foregoing information, You agree that Esther.ai may continue charging You for any use of the Paid Plan under your Billing Data unless You have terminated Your Paid Plan as set forth herein.

If You select the Monthly Fee, the credit card that You provide as part of the Billing Data will be automatically and immediately billed (and thereafter on a recurring, monthly basis). You agree that Esther.ai may charge to Your credit card all amounts due and owing for Your Account on that monthly basis or upon cancellation (see “Termination, Breach, Suspension and Cancellation” and “Refund”).

If You select an annual plan, we will contact you to discuss invoiced settlement (payable on 30-day terms). Once agreed, Esther.ai will contact you via electronic mail with the annual (fixed amount) invoice. You agree that, on a yearly basis, Esther.ai will renew and resend this annual invoice, unless you cancel the account (see the “Termination, Breach, Suspension and Cancellation” and “Refund” sections of these Terms of Service).

Esther.ai may change prices at any time without prior notice, but will endeavor to provide reasonable advance notice via the Esther.ai website and/or electronic mail.

Once a paid plan has been activated, You agree that in the event Esther.ai is unable to collect the fees owed to Esther.ai for Your Account through Your Subscription Fee, Esther.ai may take any other steps it deems necessary to collect such fees from You and that You will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Esther.ai in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs and lawyers’ fees.

As long as Your Account remains active and in good standing, You will be charged the Subscription Fee even if You never use the service. You may, however, cancel Your Paid Plan at any time.

Billing | Payment Calculation

Paid Esther.ai plans are based on the Beneficial Scope of the solution. By beneficial scope we mean the size of your workforce (staff and associate) that could be reasonably expected to use/reference/benefit-from the solution.

For our annual plans, this will be discussed and agreed with You in advance of the issued invoice.

For our Professional/monthly plan, Esther.ai reserves the right to challenge the basis of your subscription if it is suspected that subscription sharing is in place (i.e., multiple users using the same login information). In extremis, if such misuse is uncorrected, Esther.ai reserves the right to suspend such accounts.

Termination, Breach, Suspension and Cancellation

Esther.ai may, at its sole discretion, at any time and for any reason, terminate the Service, terminate this Agreement, or suspend or terminate Your Account.

In the event of suspension or termination, Your account will be disabled and You may not be granted access to Your Account or any files or other Content (including Your User Content) contained in Your Account, and Esther.ai may delete Your User Content, although residual copies of information may remain in our system for some time for back-up purposes.

In the event of termination, Esther.ai may also withdraw and at its discretion reallocate the public web address of Your Account.

If You terminate Your Account, via means provided for cancellation on the Esther.ai website, or via telephone call or electronic mail to Esther.ai, and You request that Esther.ai delete Your User Content and files contained in Your Account, Esther.ai will make all reasonable efforts to do so.

Refund

All Fees are non-refundable, i.e., there are no refunds or credits for periods where You do not use an activated paid account, used it only partially, or deactivated the account or terminated these terms during an ongoing payment interval.

Proprietary/Intellectual Property Rights

Esther.ai and/or its suppliers, as applicable, retain ownership of all proprietary rights in the Service and in all trade names, trademarks and service marks associated or displayed with the Service. You will not remove, deface, or obscure any of Esther.ai’s or its suppliers’ copyright or trademark notices and/or legends or other proprietary notices on, incorporated therein, or associated with the Service. You may not reverse engineer, reverse compile or otherwise reduce to human readable form any software associated with the Service.

Esther.ai is subject to a Trademark registration in the USA.

Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge that any use of the Service contrary to this Agreement, or any transfer, sublicensing, copying or disclosure of technical information or materials related to the Service, may cause irreparable injury to Esther.ai, its affiliates, suppliers and any other party authorized by Esther.ai to resell, distribute, or promote the Service (“Resellers”), and under such circumstances Esther.ai, its affiliates, suppliers and Resellers will be entitled to equitable relief, without posting bond or other security, including, but not limited to, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief.

Without limiting the foregoing, Esther.ai and its designees shall have the right to remove any User Content that violates the Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that You must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, You acknowledge that You may not reasonably rely on any Content created by Esther.ai or submitted to Esther.ai.

If Esther.ai discloses User Content to comply with legal process or respond to claims that any User Content violates the rights of third-parties, to the extent permitted by law, regulation or legal process, Esther.ai agrees to provide You with prompt notice of any such legal or governmental demand and reasonably cooperate with You in any effort to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure.
