License Terms
The license granted to use the Balt service, and its restrictions.
These License Terms form an integral part of, and are incorporated by reference into, the Balt General Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Definitions.
1. License Grant
Subject to compliance with the Agreement and payment of the applicable fees, Provider grants Customer, for the Subscription Term, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access and use the Service solely for Customer's internal business purposes, in accordance with the Documentation and the applicable Order Form.
This grant transfers to Customer no ownership right in the Service, the Balt Application, the Documentation, or the underlying models. All rights not expressly granted are reserved to Provider and its licensors.
2. License Metrics
The license is subject to the usage limits, Authorized User counts, Credit allocations, and other metrics specified in the Order Form or the Price List. Customer shall use reasonable efforts not to exceed those limits and shall inform Provider if it identifies a sustained overrun.
Each named access is personal. Sharing credentials between individuals is prohibited. An Authorized User seat may be reassigned to another individual when the holder leaves their role or changes assignment, but may not be used by several individuals simultaneously.
3. Outsourcing
Customer may permit its outsourcing service providers to access the Service solely for Customer's own business purposes, provided that Customer remains responsible for their acts and omissions and ensures their compliance with the Agreement. Such providers are deemed Authorized Users and count towards the license metrics.
4. Restrictions
Customer shall not, and shall not permit its Authorized Users or any third party acting on its behalf to:
- (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, or attempt to derive its source code, models, or weights, except within the limits of article L. 122-6-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code;
- (b) modify, translate, or create derivative works of the Service;
- (c) sublicense, resell, rent, lend, distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service for the benefit of a third party;
- (d) remove or alter proprietary notices in the Service or the Documentation;
- (e) use the Service to develop a competing product or service;
- (f) use Customer Data, Outputs, or any data extracted from the Service to train, fine-tune, or evaluate a third-party artificial intelligence model;
- (g) circumvent rate limits, technical protection measures, or access controls;
- (h) use bots, scripts, or other automated means to extract data from the Service in bulk, other than through the programming interfaces made available and subject to their terms of use.
A breach of this Section 4 constitutes a material breach of the Agreement within the meaning of Section 10.2 of the General Terms.
5. Removal of Content Infringing Third-Party Rights
If Provider is notified by a third party or rights holder that Customer Data submitted to the Service infringes its rights, Provider may investigate and determine, in good faith and in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, whether such data should be removed.
Removal may occur where required by law or where Provider reasonably determines it is necessary to protect the third party against continued infringement. The notice procedure is set out in Section 8 of the General Terms. Provider informs Customer of the removal and gives its reasons, unless legally prohibited from doing so.
6. Beta Features
Provider may make features or services available on an experimental, beta, preview, or early-access basis. Such Beta Features:
- (a) are provided « as is » and « as available », without warranty of any kind;
- (b) are not covered by any support obligation or service-level commitment;
- (c) may be modified, suspended, withdrawn, or made unavailable at any time, with or without notice, in Provider's sole discretion;
- (d) may be subject to additional terms of use that Customer must accept before accessing them;
- (e) may involve the collection of additional usage telemetry to support Provider's evaluation and improvement.
Beta Features are excluded from the conformity warranty in Section 5.2 of the General Terms and from the third-party infringement warranty in Section 7.1.
7. New Versions and Evolution of the Service
Provider may release updates, patches, new versions, or replacement components for the Service. Customer has no right to demand specific features or to refuse updates.
Provider may modify, replace, or discontinue specific features, integrations, AI models, or capabilities at any time. Provider shall give reasonable advance notice, where practicable, of changes that materially and adversely affect Customer's use of the Service.
Where a feature expressly designated as critical in the Order Form is permanently discontinued without a substantially equivalent replacement within a reasonable period, Customer may terminate the affected portion of the Service and obtain a pro-rata refund of prepaid fees for the unused portion, excluding Credits already consumed and non-refundable Credit purchases.
