12. Term and Termination

Term. These Terms commence when you first access the Services and continue until your subscription expires or is terminated.

Termination by You. You may terminate your subscription by providing notice as described in Section 4 (Subscription Plans and Payment). Termination does not entitle you to a refund of prepaid fees except as required by applicable law.

Termination by Raven.io. Raven.io may terminate your access to the Services immediately upon written notice if: (a) you materially breach these Terms and fail to cure within 30 days of receiving written notice of the breach; (b) you become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (c) Raven.io determines in good faith that continued provision of the Services creates a security, legal, or reputational risk.

Effect of Termination. Upon termination, all licenses granted to you immediately terminate. You must cease all use of the Services, including uninstalling all agent software. You may request an export of your Customer Data within 30 days following termination. After 30 days, Raven.io may delete Customer Data in accordance with its data retention policies. Sections 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive termination.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction in such courts.

Before filing any legal action, the party raising a dispute agrees to provide written notice to the other party and attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution for a period of 30 days. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, either party may pursue available legal remedies.

For customers located in the European Union, the applicable governing law may differ to the extent required by EU law. EU customers may also have rights to bring claims before their local courts for consumer protection claims, though as described in Section 2, the Services are not directed at consumers.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and any applicable Data Processing Agreement or Order Form, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the same subject matter.

Waiver. Failure by either party to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of future enforcement rights.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your subscription without Raven.io's prior written consent. Raven.io may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets with notice to you.

Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, labor disputes, or internet infrastructure failures.
