Terms of Service

The master subscription agreement governing every Inscendo account. Incorporates the AUP, AI Code of Conduct, DPA, and Privacy Policy by reference.

Version 1.22 (November 13, 2026 — Completes the Version 1.21 changes, in the same legal release. (1) Prices: the prices Inscendo charges are now stated in the **Price Schedule**, a versioned and dated legal document at https://inscendoiq.com/legal/price-schedule whose earlier versions are kept, instead of on the pricing page, which now summarizes the Price Schedule and is Documentation; no price changes. Moving a feature a plan includes into a separate charge remains a price increase. (2) § 6.11(c): a new optional feature may be charged for only after its price is shown to, and confirmed in a control in the Service by, the company owner or an account administrator (a **Billing Authority**); a user without that authority, and a reply typed to Inscendo IQ, cannot agree to a price, and the Service records each confirmation; a feature that substantially reproduces one the Service offers or has offered is not new. (3) § 6.11(f) and § 14.2: if a legal release raises a price and a Billing Authority asks Inscendo to close the account after the release's notice day and before the increase applies, Inscendo closes it within five (5) business days and refunds, within thirty (30) days, the part of the Wallet balance at closing that Customer paid for, in proportion to what Customer paid for Wallet Funds and the credit Inscendo granted in the previous twelve (12) months, and never more than Customer paid; bonus, promotional, goodwill and trial credit and included allowances are not refunded, and self-service deletion forfeits the balance as before. (4) § 1.5(b): the promise not to materially reduce a paid plan during a period already paid for is measured against the plan at the start of that period; it now states what it does not cover (beta features; changes required by law or made for security or the integrity of the Service; a third party ceasing to provide or changing something a feature depends on; Marketplace Capsules and the artifacts in Customer's tenant; which AI model or settings an intelligence level uses; reasonable usage limits applied to all Customers alike), and its remedy, cancelling within thirty (30) days after Customer knew or should have known of the change, with a pro-rata refund of the prepaid subscription fee, is the sole remedy. § 1.5(c): explanations Inscendo IQ gives are AI Output, and where the pricing page or the Service at the point of purchase showed Customer a lower price than the Price Schedule, Inscendo charges the lower price for that purchase unless it was an obvious error; a price Inscendo IQ states does not count. (5) § 15.4(d): if neither the company owner nor any account administrator has acknowledged a release by its effective date, the Service keeps showing it to them; until the day one of them first acknowledges it, or the ninetieth (90th) day after the effective date if none does, Customer is not in breach of an obligation or restriction the release adds, the earlier version governs liability for what happened before then, and a price increase does not apply to Customer, with Inscendo crediting any difference it charged within thirty (30) days after that day without being asked; and Customer may close its account with the § 6.11(f) refund within thirty (30) days after that day. (6) § 15.3: a Customer whose acceptance of a document is not recorded is bound by the version in effect when it began using the Service, and by later versions as § 15 provides. (7) New § 15.8: a change to how disputes are resolved, including arbitration, the class-action waiver, the jury waiver and § 15.8 itself, never applies to a dispute about acts or events that occurred, or that either party had raised, before the change took effect for Customer, and Customer's company owner or an account administrator may reject such a change within thirty (30) days after it takes effect; § 15.8 applies to every Customer from the day it is posted. A Material Adverse Change: takes effect January 4, 2027 for Customers already bound to an earlier version; effective on acceptance for a Customer accepting this Agreement for the first time.) Version 1.21 (November 12, 2026 — Changes how this Agreement, its prices and the Service change, and how Customer is told, so that the terms keep pace with a Service that is updated continuously. (1) Prices: new § 6.11, and the opening paragraph, incorporate the Service's pricing page (the "Pricing Page") by reference. Inscendo gives at least thirty (30) days' notice, in a legal release under § 15, before it raises any price for something the Service already offers, including a first charge for something offered without charge, a charge for a feature a plan included, and a smaller plan allowance; until then the earlier price applies, and a Customer that closes its account for that reason before then may ask for a refund of the unused Wallet Funds it purchased. A feature the Service did not offer before may be priced at its first use: the Service shows the price before the first charge, and using it after the price is shown is Customer's agreement to that price. A price reduction applies when posted. § 6.1, § 6.9 and § 6.9C now point to § 6.11 and the Pricing Page instead of describing prices and plan features. § 6.6 previously said that price changes apply to subsequent Wallet purchases; under § 6.11 a price increase applies, from its effective date, to all usage, including usage paid from Wallet Funds bought earlier. (2) The Service: new § 1.5 says that Inscendo may add, change or remove features; that product documentation, help articles and other descriptions of the Service are not part of this Agreement; and, as a new Inscendo commitment, that Inscendo will not materially reduce the overall functionality of Customer's paid plan during a period Customer has already paid for. § 1.1 describes the Service in general terms. (3) Notice of changes: § 15 now gathers Material Adverse Changes into at most one legal release a quarter, each with a single notice day and a single effective date at least thirty (30) days later, the same for every Customer. Notice is given in the Service, by posting the release in the legal notices centre and, from its notice day through its effective date, showing a notice of it to the account owner and each account administrator until that person acknowledges it, and in the public change log, and is no longer sent by email; § 15.2 adds a price increase under § 6.11(b) to the definition of a Material Adverse Change. (4) § 19.2 and § 19.4: the Legal Notice Email still receives account, billing, security and other contractual notices, but not notice of changes to this Agreement. A Material Adverse Change: takes effect January 4, 2027 for Customers already bound to an earlier version; effective on acceptance for a Customer accepting this Agreement for the first time.) Version 1.20 (November 11, 2026 — § 7.3 now says that Feedback includes the reports Inscendo IQ files to Inscendo automatically, without asking Customer before each one, when in the course of its work it finds a defect, a gap or a confusing behaviour in the Service, or a capability Customer wants that the Service lacks, and points to Marketplace Installer Terms § 5.1 for the reports it files to a Marketplace Capsule's Publisher. Discloses an existing practice; imposes no new obligation; effective on posting.) Version 1.19 (November 6, 2026 — New § 5.8A says in one place what the Agreement already provides for outside websites: Inscendo does not review, approve or monitor the websites and portals that Customer's users, Inscendo IQ, the Browser Companion or a bot visit or act on, or decide whether their terms permit that use. Confirming that a use is permitted is Customer's diligence, whether or not the use signs in with a saved login, and including for a bot that Inscendo IQ or an Inscendo IQ Expert built or repaired for Customer, because Customer operates every artifact in its tenant. Discloses an existing practice and restates existing obligations; effective on posting.) Version 1.18 (November 1, 2026 — Customers give the Service credentials for their own outside systems in several ways: in a conversation with Inscendo IQ, in the credential form Inscendo IQ shows, on the API configuration page, in the workspace vault, or as a website login saved for the Browser Companion. The Service then uses those credentials to reach those systems for Customer, often with nobody present: scheduled and triggered automations, Custom Agents, widgets, bots, token refresh, and the Browser Companion signing in to a website. § 1.3 authorized the actions Customer instructs; it did not expressly authorize that use. New § 4.11 does. It defines **Stored Credentials**. It authorizes Inscendo, the Service and Inscendo IQ, as Customer's agent, to use them to access each **External System** they open, including unattended and through the Browser Companion, and states that such access is authorized access under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and comparable laws. It limits Inscendo's own use to providing, securing, supporting and maintaining the Service, and § 4.11(b)(v) says which Inscendo personnel may use a Stored Credential: those performing services Customer engaged them for, those helping with a connection at Customer's request, and those working under staff support access as the Data Processing Addendum § 4.5 describes, for the purposes it permits. It says a credential typed into a conversation is processed like any other prompt. It adds Customer's representations that it may supply each credential and that the External System's terms permit that use. It says the External System's response to that use is Customer's responsibility, and how Customer withdraws the authorization. New § 12.2(l) adds a third party's claim that such access was unauthorized to Customer's indemnity. No fee, plan or price changes.) Version 1.17 (October 19, 2026 — § 15 rewritten, § 10.1, the opening paragraph, and § 4.7. Legal updates are now released monthly, so that Customer is not sent a notice every time a document changes. New § 15.2 defines a Material Adverse Change: a new obligation, restriction, fee, or ground for suspension or termination that applies to Customer; a narrower commitment by Inscendo, including a security, data-location, retention, or deletion commitment; or a new purpose for which Customer Personal Information is processed. § 15.1 keeps the thirty days' notice and the termination remedy, and § 15.3 gathers every Material Adverse Change into a monthly legal release with one notice day and one effective date at least thirty days later. § 15.4 says notice goes by email to the Legal Notice Email and the account administrators, in the notice centre in the Service, and in the public change log, and that one notice may cover a whole release. § 15.5 says any other change takes effect when posted and is recorded in the change log and the notice centre, without an email. § 15.6 lets a change that law, a court, or a regulator requires take effect sooner than the next release, with notice as early as practicable. New § 15.7 incorporates four Referenced Documents by reference (the Sub-Processor List, the Security Measures, the Retention Schedule in Privacy Policy § 5, and the Data Location Statement), each with its own change process, and says this Agreement and the Data Processing Addendum control over them. § 10.1 points at the Security Measures, which now hold the tenant-separation detail, and the opening paragraph names the Referenced Documents among the documents this Agreement incorporates. § 4.7 now says that copies of telemetry held in routine backups are deleted within the backup-retention window stated in the Privacy Policy (§ 5), which describes a practice already in place and applies from the day it is posted. The other changes take effect December 3, 2026 for Customers already bound to an earlier version (§ 15.1). No fee, plan, or other Customer obligation changes.) Version 1.16 (October 18, 2026 — what happens when Premium ends. New § 6.9C: when a Premium subscription ends, because Customer cancelled it (including during a free trial) and the period ran out, or because the payment processor closed it after the retries for a failed charge were exhausted, the account is no longer suspended; it continues in **limited mode**, on the features available without a subscription, with no included or free usage allowance, paying for usage only from the Wallet balance; at a zero balance usage pauses and access to the account remains. § 6.9A(e) and § 6.9 now say the same, and § 14.4(b) says an ended subscription is not a suspension ground; a failed charge on a subscription still in effect, and a subscription in effect with no payment method, remain suspension grounds. New § 6.9B: complimentary Premium that Inscendo grants with an agreed date on which paid Premium begins may be suspended if that date passes without a payment method and paid subscription set up, until they are; § 14.4(b) names that ground. § 4.8 adds automatic deletion: an account whose Premium has ended and is not restarted may be deleted no sooner than ninety (90) days after Premium ended, after emails thirty (30) and seven (7) days before, followed by the existing deletion grace period; restarting Premium cancels the countdown, and a failed charge still being retried does not start it. No fee or price changes.) Version 1.15 (October 6, 2026 — Inscendo now sends the one-time sign-in, verification, and password-reset codes a user asks for to the mobile number on that user's account, by text message or, on request, by an automated call. New § 9A.1(c) describes those **Account Security Messages**; § 9A.2 says they are sent only when asked for; § 9A.3 says they are sent at any hour, because they are not solicitations; § 9A.6 says what replying STOP to one does and how to get codes back. § 5.6 and § 12.2(b) no longer make Customer the sender of record for, or the indemnitor of, messages Inscendo itself sends to Customer's users about their own accounts. Narrows Customer obligations only; no fee, plan, or Customer obligation is added.) Version 1.14 (October 6, 2026 — every new company now starts Premium on a free trial. New § 6.9A states its terms: a payment method is collected at signup; nothing is charged for Premium during the trial; the trial's length is the one shown at signup, and Inscendo may lengthen a particular trial but never shorten one; usage during the trial is a single allowance for the whole trial; at the trial's end the subscription converts to paid and renews monthly on that day under § 6.9, unless Customer cancels before then, in which case nothing is charged; Inscendo emails a confirmation at signup and a reminder before the first charge; one trial per company. § 6.9 now says a free trial or free period is billed at its end rather than in advance, and that while a Premium charge has failed, or while a subscription in effect has no payment method on file because Customer removed it, Inscendo may suspend access to the account (not only the subscription benefits) until a payment method is on file and the charge succeeds. § 14.4(b) adds the second case to the suspension grounds. No fee or price changes.) Version 1.13 (September 17, 2026 — every allocation of responsibility for capsule code in this Agreement was written around code built "with Inscendo IQ at Customer's or a publisher's direction". None of it addressed code that Inscendo itself wrote (an Inscendo IQ Expert building in Customer's tenant) or itself published (a Marketplace Capsule from a tenant Inscendo operates), and nothing addressed a capsule that generates or issues a form, format, or content licensed by an industry standards body — a licence the Customer may hold and Inscendo does not. This version closes those three gaps, in one direction only: **the Customer operates every artifact in its tenant, under its own authority and licences, whoever built it, and Inscendo is never the vendor of it.** § 4.10 states that rule in full. § 4.2A(a) now says Platform Code is licensed AS-IS, and new § 4.2A(e) says the licence conveys no third-party or industry licence and that Customer represents it holds any such licence its capsules require. New § 4A.7 defines an **Inscendo-Published Capsule** and states that the Publisher warranties and indemnity, and the installer's third-party-beneficiary rights, do not run from Inscendo for one; the Marketplace Publisher Agreement § 1.6 and Marketplace Installer Terms § 6.6 say the same. § 11.2 now names Platform Code, Customer Configurations and every artifact in Customer's tenant, however and by whomever authored. § 12.2(a) now reaches artifacts regardless of who authored, built or published them, and new § 12.2(k) reaches claims that a capsule used licensed forms or standards without the required licence. § 2.4 and new § 3.3(g) state that Inscendo is not a member or licensee of any standards body or forms publisher. § 14.5 adds § 4.2A and § 4.10 to survival. § 20.7 no longer contradicts § 4A. Version 1.12 (September 7, 2026 — § 4A.4 amended. A referral signup now collects every payment before a tenant is created; if the registration expires before every payment is collected, the Marketplace Capsule payment for a Capsule that was never installed is cancelled and refunded on the publisher's account on the publisher's behalf, the one refund Inscendo initiates (Marketplace Installer Terms § 5.3). No fee, plan, or Customer obligation changes. Version 1.11 (September 2, 2026 — § 4.9 added and one sentence added to § 4.4. The Service now lets an account administrator connect a third-party AI application that Customer uses under Customer's own account with that application's provider, so that it can act as Inscendo IQ on Customer's tenant. § 4.9 states what that connection does: Customer Data, Customer Configurations, and AI Output the connected application requests are transmitted to it at Customer's direction; once received, that data is processed under Customer's own agreement and settings with that provider, not under Inscendo's agreement with its AI model provider; and the § 4.4 no-training requirement, DPA § 4.3, and the other protections that apply to data sent through Inscendo's commercial API tier do not reach it. § 4.4 now says the same in one sentence. A disclosure of an optional feature only; no fee, plan, or obligation changes for a Customer that does not connect an application. Version 1.10 (August 29, 2026 — § 11.5 added: Inscendo keeps encrypted backup copies of Customer Data and Customer Configurations, which may include an off-site immutable copy held with a Sub-Processor disclosed in DPA § 6.2; restoration from a backup after a failure returns the Service to the most recent recovery point available and Customer Data written after that point may not be recovered; Inscendo will notify Customer without undue delay of the recovery point used. A disclosure and a new Inscendo notice obligation only — no recovery-time or recovery-point objective is promised, no Customer obligation is enlarged, and § 11.2 and § 13 are unchanged. Version 1.9 (August 25, 2026 — §§ 6.8, 6.9 and 6.10 added, and § 6.5 restated. Section 6 described a prepaid Wallet funded by discrete purchases and did not describe either recurring charge the Service actually makes: automatic Wallet top-up against a stored card, and the automatically renewing Premium subscription. § 6.8 states the auto top-up authorization, that it continues until Customer turns it off, and how to turn it off. § 6.9 states that a subscription renews automatically until cancelled, the cancellation method and its effect, and the treatment of a price change. § 6.10 is a new **Inscendo obligation**: an itemized receipt by email for every charge, and for a recurring charge a statement that it recurs and how to stop it. § 6.5's thirty-day dispute window now runs from that receipt rather than from the charge, and expressly does not limit Customer's rights under law or card-issuer rules. § 6.9 and § 6.10 are additionally scoped to say what they do NOT cover: a Marketplace Capsule subscription is sold by its publisher as merchant of record, renews and cancels under Marketplace Installer Terms § 5.3A, and is receipted by that publisher rather than by Inscendo. No fee, price, or plan changes, and no Customer obligation is enlarged. Version 1.8 (August 14, 2026 — § 12.2A, § 12.2B and § 12.2C added to satisfy Texas fair-notice law. The § 12.2 indemnity now says **expressly and conspicuously** that it reaches a claim alleging Inscendo's own negligence contributed to the loss — without which, under the Texas express-negligence doctrine (*Ethyl Corp. v. Daniel Constr. Co.*) and the conspicuousness requirement (*Dresser Indus. v. Page Petroleum*), it likely reached no such claim at all. § 12.2B carves out Inscendo's **sole** negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud and unlawful conduct, and reduces the obligation in proportion to Inscendo's allocated fault. § 12.2C excludes Consumer Accounts entirely. Net effect is narrower in substance and enforceable in form. Version 1.7 (August 14, 2026) — § 16.3A added: an express delegation clause giving the arbitrator authority over questions of arbitrability, reserving to a court the enforceability of the § 16.5 class waiver and the § 16.6 Coordinated-Filing Procedure, and whether a claim falls within a § 16.7 carve-out. § 16.11 added: a conspicuous **waiver of jury trial** that reaches every claim heard in court rather than arbitration — including claims under a § 16.7 carve-out, claims severed under § 16.5 or § 16.6(h), and any claim as to which § 16 is held unenforceable — and that survives independently of the agreement to arbitrate; it does not apply where a pre-dispute jury waiver is unenforceable, or to a Consumer Account beyond what the Consumer Account Addendum permits. § 19.2 restated around a designated **Legal Notice Email**, and § 19.4 and § 19.5 added: Customer must keep contact information current and monitored, consents to electronic delivery of contractual and legal notices, and bears a notice that fails on an address Customer let go stale — with Inscendo committing to alert account administrators in-product when it knows the address is undeliverable. No change to the scope of arbitration, the § 13 liability caps, or any fee. Version 1.6 (August 13, 2026) — § 4A.2 restated and § 4A.6 added: a Marketplace Capsule built with Inscendo IQ at its publisher's direction remains that publisher's product and responsibility; Inscendo's ownership of Platform Code under § 4.2 is an allocation of rights rather than an assumption of responsibility for any Capsule; and Marketplace screening is best-effort only. Version 1.5 (August 13, 2026, in force): new § 9A "SMS/Text Messaging Terms," effective on publication: message categories, sending hours, consent and electronic signature, opt-out and revocation, consent-record retention, and related SMS program disclosures; § 9A adds no obligation to any Customer who does not opt in to text messages. Version 1.4 (August 9, 2026): operating-addresses line, § 19.3 and § 22.1 restated to describe Inscendo's operating domains generically rather than naming one; no change to any right, obligation, or the scope of the disclaimer. Version 1.3, also effective September 8, 2026: § 3.2(f) resale carve-out now names the **Partner Program Agreement**, published with that version; previously it referenced an unpublished "reseller program")Effective The Version 1.21 changes (the opening paragraph, § 1.1, new § 1.5, § 6.1, § 6.6, § 6.9, § 6.9C, new § 6.11, § 15, § 19.2 and § 19.4), which set out how this Agreement, its prices and the Service change and how notice of a change is given, take effect **January 4, 2027** for Customers already bound to an earlier version — thirty (30) days' notice under § 15.1, in the first quarterly legal release. The Version 1.22 changes (the opening paragraph, § 1.1, § 1.5(b) and (c), § 6.1, § 6.9, § 6.9C, § 6.11, § 15.1, § 15.2, § 15.3, § 15.4(d) and § 19.2), which complete those Version 1.21 changes, take effect on the same date, **January 4, 2027**, for Customers already bound to an earlier version, in the same legal release. New § 15.8, under which a change to how disputes are resolved never reaches a dispute that arose before it and Customer may reject such a change, only limits what Inscendo may do, and Inscendo applies it to every Customer from the day it is posted. Until January 4, 2027, a Customer already bound continues to receive notice of changes as the version it accepted provides. Version 1.20 states in § 7.3 a practice already in place: the reports Inscendo IQ files to Inscendo about the Service are Feedback. It imposes no new obligation, and Inscendo applies it to every Customer from the day it is posted. Version 1.19 adds § 5.8A, which states practices and obligations already in place: Inscendo does not review the outside websites the Service is used on, and confirming that a use is permitted is Customer's, as AUP § 1.4(g) and § 1.9, the Browser Companion Consent, § 1.3 and § 4.10 already provide. It imposes no new obligation, and Inscendo applies it to every Customer from the day it is posted. The Version 1.18 changes (§ 4.11, § 12.2(l)) take effect **December 3, 2026** for Customers already bound to an earlier version — thirty (30) days' notice under § 15.1, in a monthly legal release. The Version 1.17 changes to § 10.1, § 15 and the opening paragraph take effect **December 3, 2026** for Customers already bound to an earlier version — thirty (30) days' notice under § 15.1, in a monthly legal release. Version 1.17's change to § 4.7 describes a backup practice already in place, and Inscendo applies it to every Customer from the day it is posted. The Version 1.16 changes to § 4.8 (automatic deletion after Premium ends), new § 6.9B and the complimentary-Premium ground in § 14.4(b) take effect **December 3, 2026** for Customers already bound to an earlier version — thirty (30) days' notice under § 15.1. Version 1.16's changes to § 6.9, § 6.9A(e) and § 14.4(b), and new § 6.9C, which keep an account open in limited mode after its Premium subscription ends instead of suspending it, narrow Customer's exposure, and Inscendo applies them to every Customer from the day they are posted. The Version 1.14 changes (§ 6.9, § 6.9A, § 14.4(b)) take effect **November 9, 2026** for Customers already bound to an earlier version — thirty (30) days' notice under § 15.1. **For a Customer accepting this Agreement for the first time, this Version 1.22 is effective on acceptance**, and is the version that Customer is bound by. Version 1.15 narrows § 5.6 and § 12.2(b) in Customer's favour and adds an optional message category to § 9A; it imposes no obligation on Customer and is effective on posting. The Version 1.13 changes (§ 2.4, § 3.3(g), § 4.2A(a) and (e), § 4.10, § 4A.7, § 11.2, § 12.2(a) and (k), § 14.5, § 20.7) state Customer obligations and take effect **October 17, 2026** for Customers already bound to an earlier version — thirty (30) days' notice under § 15.1. Version 1.12 amends § 4A.4 only; it records a refund made in Customer's favour, imposes no obligation on Customer, and is effective on posting, September 7, 2026. Version 1.11 added § 4.9 only; § 4.9 describes an optional connection that Customer itself chooses to make, imposes no obligation on a Customer that does not make it, and is effective on posting, September 2, 2026. Version 1.10 added § 11.5 only, effective on posting, August 29, 2026. The Version 1.9 changes take effect September 24, 2026 for Customers already bound to an earlier version — thirty (30) days' notice under § 15.1. A Customer already bound remains on the version that Customer accepted until the Version 1.9, Version 1.13, Version 1.14, Version 1.16, Version 1.17, Version 1.18, Version 1.21 and Version 1.22 changes take effect for them; the dates earlier versions took or take effect are recorded in the Version note below.legal/terms.md
