Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property Rights in User-Generated Content


All intellectual property rights in any training programs, materials, or any other content created, uploaded, or otherwise provided by users of the Services ("User-Generated Content") remain with the creator of such content. Creators retain full ownership and the right to control over their User-Generated Content, as long as it is kept private or shared only on a limited basis and not made publicly available.


By opting to make their User-Generated Content public or by sharing it broadly within the Services, the creator grants the Provider a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and process that content in any way. This encompasses making the content available to other users of the Services, incorporating it into collective works, utilizing it for the promotion of the Services, and for any other purposes related to the operation and promotion of the Provider's platform.


It is important for creators to understand that once User-Generated Content is made public or shared broadly, and the Provider has chosen to utilize it, retracting or "unsharing" that content may not be feasible, especially if the content has been integrated into the Services, promotional materials, or otherwise relied upon by the Provider or its users. In such cases, the perpetual license granted to the Provider remains in effect, and the Provider retains the right to continue using the content as per the terms of the license. However, the creator may request the Provider to cease new uses of the content, subject to the Provider's discretion and any operational constraints.


Creators are responsible for ensuring their User-Generated Content does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and complies with applicable laws and regulations. The Provider reserves the right to remove any User-Generated Content believed to infringe on intellectual property rights or violate laws or regulations.


Provider Intellectual Property Rights


The Provider retains all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the software, platform, and all content created, developed, and provided by the Provider for the Services, excluding User-Generated Content as defined above. This encompasses, but is not limited to, the SaaS platform's technology, software code, interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, data, methods, processes, and any other material related to the Services.


The Provider’s names, trademarks, logos, and any other brand feature or service names are owned by the Provider. The Agreement does not grant the Client or any users any rights to use any Provider intellectual property except as necessary to use the Services in accordance with the terms provided herein. Any use of the Provider’s intellectual property beyond the scope of this Agreement without express written permission from the Provider is strictly prohibited and may constitute a violation of the Provider’s intellectual property rights, leading to legal action and enforcement measures.


The Provider’s creation and ownership of its intellectual property rights under this Agreement are essential for the provision, enhancement, and maintenance of the Services. The Provider continuously invests in developing its technology, content, and services to provide the best possible experience for its users. By using the Services, the Client acknowledges and agrees to respect the Provider’s intellectual property rights and to refrain from any actions that would infringe upon these rights.


Fee Structure

The Client agrees to a fee structure that includes a one-time setup fee upon initiation of services and a per-session fee for each patient session. A session is defined as all activity by an individual platform user recorded in a single calendar day in the local time zone, regardless of whether the activity takes place within or outside the Client’s premises. The specific amounts for these fees are detailed in the Provider's Price List, which is provided separately and is incorporated herein by reference.

Payment Schedule

The one-time setup fee is due at the time of signup. Subsequent session fees will be automatically billed at the start of each calendar month, based on the rates specified in the Price List.


Non-Payment Clause

If the Client fails to pay any outstanding fees for the Services, the Provider reserves the right to suspend access to the Services until payment is made. The Provider will notify the Client of the suspension in writing, providing a reasonable time frame for payment to be made.


If the Client does not settle the outstanding amount within 30 days after the notification of suspension, the Provider may cancel the Services entirely, terminating this Agreement. Upon cancellation, access to the Services will cease immediately, and a final invoice will be issued for any outstanding fees.


Cancellations

The Client may cancel the Services at any time. Access to the Services will continue until the end of the current billing month, after which a final invoice will be issued for the month's services based on the terms outlined in the Price List.


The Provider reserves the right to cancel the Services if the Client has not made use of the Services, or has made only insignificant use of the Services, over the last three months. In such an event, the Client will be notified in writing at least 30 days prior to the cancellation date, and access to the Services will continue until the end of the current billing month, followed by a final invoice for the month's services.

Adjustments and Notifications

The Provider reserves the right to modify the fee structure, the specific fees, and the terms of this Agreement at its discretion. Any changes to the fee structure or specific fees will be communicated to the Client through an updated Price List, and changes to the terms of this Agreement will be provided in writing. The Client will be notified of any such adjustments or changes at least three months in advance of their effective date, ensuring transparency and providing the Client ample time to review and make informed decisions regarding the continued use of the Services.


This notification period allows the Client to accept the changes, negotiate adjustments, or, if necessary, terminate the Agreement according to the cancellation policy outlined herein. All notifications under this clause shall be considered duly given when sent to the email address or other contact information provided by the Client at the time of signup or as subsequently updated. It is the Client's responsibility to keep their contact information current to ensure receipt of all notices.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution


This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Norway, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties shall first seek to resolve the disagreement amicably through direct negotiation. If these efforts are unsuccessful within a reasonable period, the dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Norwegian Arbitration Act.


The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. Each party shall appoint one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators thus appointed shall select the third arbitrator, who will act as the chairman of the arbitration panel. If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within 30 days of a written request from the other party to do so, or if the two appointed arbitrators cannot agree on the third arbitrator within 15 days of their appointment, the appointment shall be made in accordance with the procedures set out in the Norwegian Arbitration Act.


The place of arbitration shall be Oslo, Norway, and the language of the arbitration shall be English, unless both parties agree otherwise. The arbitral tribunal shall decide the dispute in accordance with the substantive laws of Norway. The decision of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon both parties, and the parties agree to be bound thereby and to act accordingly. The award rendered by the tribunal may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek preliminary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the final decision of the arbitral tribunal, if such relief is necessary to prevent irreparable damage.


This dispute resolution provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and is intended to provide a comprehensive mechanism for the resolution of disputes under the auspices of Norwegian law and in accordance with the Norwegian Arbitration Act.
