Alivo, Inc. (“Alivo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides and makes available its automated communication platform (the “Platform”) and any related services (each a “service”, and collectively the “services”) according to these Terms of Service and License Agreement (collectively, the “Terms”). These Terms apply to any use of our Platform and by accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Platform or any of our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree to and accept these Terms, you shall not access, browse, or use the Platform. Your use of the services is also subject to any terms, policies or rules that we may post or provide a link to on our website, including Alivo’s Privacy Policy, as may be amended from time to time. All such terms, policies and rules are considered part of these Terms and are expressly included by reference.
Alivo’s Platform is an AI-powered business communication tool that allows you to capture potential leads, communicate with leads and customers, and automate portions of the sales process. In addition to these Terms, the Platform is subject to the following requirements and restrictions:
a. Annual Subscription. – Alivo offers the Platform and each tier of its services on an annual subscription basis with automatic renewals (the “Initial Term”). A minimum 3-month commitment is required during the Initial Term. The Initial Term will commence on the date that you first subscribe to the Platform and unless terminated in accordance with these Terms, will continue thereafter for a period of one (1) year. If you opt to pay monthly as set forth below, the fees owed for the first month of your Initial Term will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in such month, provided, however, that any pro-rated month shall not count towards Alivo’s minimum 3-month commitment. At the end of the Initial Term, your subscription will automatically renew for an additional one (1) year term (the “Renewal Term”, and, together with the “Initial Term,” collectively the “Term”), unless you provide Alivo with a notice of non-renewal at least (30) days prior to the end of the then current Term.
b. Payment Terms. In addition to your initial onboarding fee, you may pay for the Platform and our services on a monthly or yearly basis (each a “Billing Cycle”), provided that Alivo may apply a surcharge to monthly Billing Cycles at its discretion. Payment for the Platform and its services must be made in advance of your subscription. Alivo will provide you with and/or make available invoices for each Billing Cycle. Alivo reserves the right to amend its pricing at its discretion at any time and without prior notice, provided, however, that Alivo will provide you with notice of any price increase at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current Term, and you will have the opportunity to review and accept the new price before the automatic renewal takes place. Alivo may offer discounts in its sole discretion. Any discount is solely redeemable for a reduction in the price of our services and is not redeemable for cash or any other form of remuneration. Alivo requires that all payments be processed via our secure online payment portal, which accepts a wide array of major credit cards or alternatively, bank transfer payments may be permitted solely at our discretion (each a “Payment Method”).
You hereby authorize the Payment Method to be used automatically for your payment responsibilities to Alivo. You will be billed automatically on the first calendar day of your Billing Cycle. Your Billing Cycle will begin on the day of your onboarding call or 30 days after your onboarding payment is made, whichever comes first. If you need to reschedule your onboarding call, you must provide at least 4 hours notice ahead of time. If a credit card account is used for your subscription, Alivo may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of your payment. If you wish to designate a different payment method or if there is a change in your Payment Method information, you must update your information using the secure online payment portal which can be made available to you by reaching out to your account manager, which may temporarily delay your ability to make payments while Alivo and/or its service providers verify the new payment information. In accordance with our Privacy Policy, if applicable to your level of service, you agree that we may pass your credit card information and related personal information to our designated service provider(s) for their use in charging you for the services ordered by you.
You represent and warrant that: (i) any credit or debit card or bank information that you supply is true, accurate and complete, (ii) charges you incur will be honored by your credit/debit card company, (iii) you will pay the charges incurred in the amounts posted, including any applicable taxes, and (iv) you are authorized to make a purchase or other transaction with the relevant credit/debit card and information. You agree and authorize the Payment Method to be billed automatically in accordance with these Terms in an amount equal to the applicable fee and taxes in effect at such time. It is your responsibility to update and/or notify Alivo of any changes to your Payment Method. If Alivo is unable to process your Payment Method during any Billing Cycle, your access to the Platform and its services may be immediately suspended or terminated at our discretion until the overdue balance is paid. In such event, Alivo reserves the right to apply a late fee of 1.5% per month for any overdue balance(s).
c. Cancellations; No Refunds. Subject to Alivo’s minimum 3-month subscription commitment, you may cancel your subscription at any time upon written notice to Alivo. Cancellation will only take effect upon the end of your then current Billing Cycle, either monthly or yearly, provided that should you cancel during the first 3-months of your Initial Term, you will remain responsible for any unpaid fees for the remainder of such 3-month term. During such period, you will retain access to and the right to use the Platform and its services as specified in these Terms. Following termination of your subscription, you will immediately cease all use of and all access to the Platform and you will have no further access to any data, information, or filed we have stored on your behalf, except as may be required by applicable law or court orders. For the avoidance of doubt, should you cancel your subscription at any time during the first 3 months of your Initial Term, you will remain responsible for the payment of any amounts due for the remainder of such 3-month term, but will retain access to the Platform and our services during that time.
d. Termination by Alivo. Alivo may terminate your license to access the Platform as follows:
i. If you breach these Terms in any respect; or
ii. If you and/or your company files or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law, makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or custodian for a substantial part of its property.
iii. In the event that Alivo ceases operations, goes out of business, or undergoes bankruptcy proceedings, we will provide you with reasonable notice and an opportunity to retrieve any data or content specific to your account, to the extent feasible, subject to legal and operational constraints. Alivo shall not be liable for any loss of data or content in such circumstances.

You must immediately notify Alivo of any unauthorized use of your Account. We may refuse to grant you login credentials that are already in use, impersonate someone else, are or may be illegal, are or may be protected by trademark or other proprietary rights, are vulgar or otherwise offensive, or may cause confusion, as determined by us in our sole discretion. Similarly, we may terminate your Account if you are in breach of applicable laws, these Terms, or any other applicable Alivo policies.

These additional users, including yourself, will be referred to collectively as “Authorized Users.” It is your responsibility to ensure that each Authorized User adheres to these Terms and properly uses your Account.

YOU AND ALIVO ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS, OUR PLATFORM, OUR SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER CONTENT, OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 20. The AAA Rules are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. All arbitration proceedings will take place in Portland, Maine. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
The arbitrator will have full power and authority to determine issues of arbitrability and to interpret or construe the applicable provisions of these Terms and to fashion appropriate remedies for breaches of these Terms (including interim or permanent injunctive relief); provided that the arbitrator will not have any right or authority: (i) in excess of the authority of a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the dispute would have absent this arbitration agreement; (ii) to award damages in excess of the waivers and limitations applicable to damages in these Terms; or (iii) to modify the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You agree to arbitrate on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR ALIVO WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.
If any part of this arbitration provision is found unenforceable, the unenforceable portion will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
Notwithstanding Section 20 of these Terms or anything else to the contrary, Alivo may choose to file a claim against you for equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in the event you violate Section(s) 6, 8, 9, 10, and/or 11 of these Terms.
In the event the requirement to arbitrate disputes is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, you agree that any legal action or proceeding between Alivo and you related to these Terms, the Platform, its content, our services, or any other content, or your use of or inability to use any of the foregoing, shall be brought exclusively in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Portland, Maine, and you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereby expressly waives any right to a trial by jury in any action, suit, proceeding, or counterclaim of any kind arising out of or in any manner connected with these Terms, the Platform, its content, the services, or any other content, or your use of or inability to use any of the foregoing.
